Within Wei Yumeng's heart, Zhan Mohan had always been a person who clearly distinguished between public and private matters, and it was impossible for him to do such a thing, let alone to lay a hand on the project she had painstakingly managed.
This was the first time Zhan Mohan had said such a thing to Wei Yumeng, and the first time he had made Wei Yumeng somewhat unable to comprehend.
"I'm sorry…" Wei Yumeng spoke first, "I apologize for my behavior just now, but I hope you understand some things. I will not stop the Feng Group's project because of this situation. It's unfair, and I also hope you can let Feng Group off this time."
After saying this, Wei Yumeng left without looking back.
Zhan Mohan rubbed his sore cheek. Only then did he somewhat understand that the photos were probably not meant to inform, but to cause conflict between him and Wei Yumeng over this matter.
Zhan Mohan clenched his fist. This time, he felt like he had done something foolish, completely blinded by the situation in the photos. Now, how was he going to appease Wei Yumeng?
Although Wei Yumeng had left in a huff, she was not entirely without understanding of Zhan Mohan's actions.
Perhaps if she were in Zhan Mohan's shoes now, she might have done the same thing.
Wei Yumeng sighed. It was best to wait until both of them had calmed down and then talk properly.
Zhan Mohan did not go home. Instead, he returned to the company. Firstly, he had no idea how to face Wei Yumeng yet, and secondly, this matter needed to be resolved.
He knew that it was impossible to make Wei Yumeng stop her current project.
In fact, upon closer thought, the Feng Group must have paid a great deal to collaborate with Zhan Yangyi's project. Since they couldn't stop them, they could only intervene through other means.
"Fang Xun, get me all the recent project information for the Feng Group."
"Alright, I got it."
Soon, Fang Xun transferred the information to Zhan Mohan's computer.
Through careful research, it was discovered that the project between Wei Yumeng and Zhan Yangyi was not operated solely by their two families, so it was entirely possible for their Zhan Group to intervene.
Although the following actions might be very unfair to Zhan Yangyi and even cause his strong dissatisfaction, Zhan Mohan actually didn't care at all.
Compared to Zhan Yangyi's opinion of him, he valued Wei Yumeng more.
Although Wei Yumeng had returned to her normal work, she was still somewhat worried and distracted, her mind constantly thinking about how to reconcile with Zhan Mohan.
The more she thought about it, the more regretful she felt. Why on earth had she hit Zhan Mohan?
But just then, Wu Yi walked in, looking somewhat nervous.
"President Wei, the project has encountered a problem."
Wei Yumeng was slightly taken aback. Could it be that Zhan Mohan had indeed made a move? She had never imagined that she would one day be in opposition to Zhan Mohan.
However, she quickly calmed down, as Wu Yi had not yet explained the details of what had happened. Perhaps things were not as she had imagined.
"Calm down first and tell me what happened."
Wu Yi then said, "I just received news that the Zhan Group has bought our project at a high price, so now the Zhan Group is equivalent to our superior."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng was stunned. She had initially thought Zhan Mohan would do something to sabotage the project. It seemed she had been overthinking.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This outcome was much better than she had expected. She didn't mind at all taking charge of the project with Zhan Mohan. She only feared that Zhan Yangyi would be the one feeling embarrassed now.
"What did you say? Zhan Mohan bought the entire project?" Zhan Yangyi swept everything off the table in anger.
Li Qian, already trembling from Zhan Yangyi's rage, said, "President Zhan, this is something none of us expected."
"Zhan Mohan, oh Zhan Mohan, I see you have no intention of acknowledging me as your brother. How dare you act so brazenly and bully me like this."
If Zhan Yangyi guessed correctly, the next thing Zhan Mohan would do was to exclude their company from this project.
Li Qian looked at Zhan Yangyi and hesitated for a long time before speaking, "President Zhan, actually, this matter is not entirely without a solution."
Zhan Yangyi's eyes lit up, and he turned to Li Qian, "You have a way?"
"Although we may not be able to keep this project, it is still in our hands for now. As long as Zhan Mohan hasn't made a move, we have enough time to prepare. When we successfully extricate ourselves, and the Zhan Group takes over this project, they will naturally bear all the consequences of the project."
Li Qian said, giving Zhan Yangyi a cunning look.
Zhan Yangyi immediately understood. As long as they tampered with this project now, the Zhan Group would not be able to escape responsibility later.
"Go and get me all the detailed information for this project. I want to see where it's best to start."
In the evening, Wei Yumeng returned home, only to find Zhan Mohan already there. However, despite seeing each other, the atmosphere between them was extremely strained.
Even the two children realized that something might have happened between them and stayed quietly to the side, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Wei Yumeng felt a bit awkward. She coughed unnaturally first, "Mohan, you're back so early today?"
Zhan Mohan simply responded with a low hum, and the atmosphere turned cold again.
Wei Yumeng couldn't help but hold her forehead. In fact, she and Zhan Mohan hadn't argued for a long time, and it had been a while since they had reached such a point. Now, she was truly flustered.
At this moment, however, Zhan Mohan stood up and walked towards Wei Yumeng.
"I'm sorry, Yumeng. I know about today's events, and I didn't consider your feelings."
Wei Yumeng's eyes widened as she looked at Zhan Mohan. She truly hadn't expected Zhan Mohan to apologize first.
"No, Mohan, actually I have a problem too. I clearly knew that your relationship with Big Brother was tense, yet I still acted that way. It was my fault too."
"No, the problem is mine."
"It's my fault!"
As they spoke, they both stopped abruptly and then looked at each other and smiled.
In fact, between the two of them, what conflict couldn't be overcome? Perhaps they were still angry at the moment, but after the incident passed, they would involuntarily think of each other.
Seeing them like this, the children were also relieved. After all, they hadn't seen their parents argue for a long time.
"By the way, Mohan, you bought the project, what are you planning to do next?"
Zhan Mohan replied without thinking, "Make Zhan Yangyi withdraw."
