Wei Yumeng hung up the phone, but only sighed.
Even though the opportunity had been secured, what should she do next?
All her previous preparations and investigations had become fruitless. Moreover, now that she was alone, how could she find the most suitable raw materials?
Xue Fu, standing beside her, watched Wei Yumeng for a long time before taking a deep breath and speaking boldly.
"Sister, is there anything I can do to help you? I just heard you mention needing to find some raw materials. Although I'm just an exchange student, I've been living here for two years and am familiar with many places. Perhaps I can be of assistance."
Wei Yumeng looked up at Xue Fu. At this point, she truly had no other options. Maybe she could actually try?
Wei Yumeng straightened her body and faced Xue Fu with a serious demeanor.
"Actually, it's like this. I'm here for a company project, and this project requires a certain raw material. It was because I was deceived about the raw materials before that I ended up in this situation."
Wei Yumeng felt a bit ashamed as she spoke. She had been in the business world for so long, yet she had still made such a mistake.
Xue Fu listened to Wei Yumeng's description, thought for a moment, and quickly came up with an answer.
"Sister, actually, that material is a specialty of this country. It's not something only large companies or factories can find," Xue Fu said, taking out her laptop and operating it.
"From what I understand, you can find good quality materials in some of the material markets around here."
After speaking, Xue Fu turned the laptop screen towards Wei Yumeng. It displayed a map of the area with several locations marked.
"While I don't quite understand the specifics of the materials, I have some friends whose families are in this trade. They actually say that the quality from these small shops is better. Without brand names and the markup from middlemen, the prices are also relatively lower."
This was wonderful news for Wei Yumeng. She had never imagined that what she had been searching for could be so simple.
However, she faced another problem. When dealing with large companies, they would always provide translators. But with small businesses, that wasn't always the case.
Without understanding the local language, she couldn't guarantee the smooth operation of the business.
Furthermore, she had already troubled Xue Fu so much; she felt embarrassed to bother her further.
"I'm really grateful for all your help, but I can't continue to bother you," Wei Yumeng said, standing up.
In any case, now that she had a new lead, she would find a solution. Moreover, Zhan Mohan already knew about her situation, so he would surely do something.
She still needed to inform Zhan Mohan about what she had just learned and then formulate further plans.
However, just as Wei Yumeng took a few steps, she felt a wave of dizziness. Xue Fu immediately supported her.
"Sister, I think you should stay a bit longer. I live alone here, so you can stay as long as you want."
Xue Fu helped Wei Yumeng back to the bed. "Rest for a while longer."
Wei Yumeng looked at Xue Fu with deep apology. She truly didn't want to cause Xue Fu any more trouble, but her own body was being uncooperative.
Xue Fu glanced at the time and then said to Wei Yumeng, "Sister, I have to go to my part-time job later, so I'll leave the house-sitting to you."
Wei Yumeng was helpless. She knew exactly what Xue Fu meant – she wanted her to stay longer, didn't she?
She could only nod at Xue Fu. Xue Fu then smiled at her and left the house.
Watching Xue Fu's retreating figure, Wei Yumeng once again felt fortunate to have met a girl like Xue Fu, not someone else.
But strangely, she felt a sense of familiarity towards Xue Fu, which was why she could stay until now.
After Xue Fu left the room and confirmed the door was locked, she took out her phone and made a call.
"Mo Han, don't worry, your sister-in-law is fine now. And what you asked me to tell her, I've done as you instructed. As for any further help she might need from me, I will certainly assist her to the end."
On the other end, Zhan Mohan heard Xue Fu's voice but was not surprised at all.
That's right, Xue Fu was someone he knew well. She was the child of a relative from the Zhan family, his distant cousin by seniority.
He and Xue Fu didn't have much of a relationship originally, but after discovering that Wei Yumeng was in trouble, he remembered that Xue Fu happened to be in this country.
So, he tried contacting Xue Fu. To his surprise, things went smoothly. Xue Fu had already heard a lot about his affairs, and this sudden contact made her extremely happy.
Naturally, she agreed to Zhan Mohan's request and found the fainting Wei Yumeng on the street.
Even now, Xue Fu felt a shiver of fear, thinking that if she had been a moment later, who knew what would have happened.
Xue Fu spoke with a proud demeanor, "Brother, I feel like I could win an award for acting like this. But... do you really have to do it this way? You could have come here yourself to be with your sister-in-law."
Zhan Mohan paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "She is proud and stubborn. Because of her own mistake, she made such a big blunder, so she naturally wouldn't want me to interfere. It's better to help her silently in this way."
Xue Fu remained silent for a long time, her eyes filled with emotion, almost to the point of tears.
For a young girl like her, a marital relationship where partners understand and care for each other was simply her dream.
It even made Xue Fu unconsciously compare the relationship between Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng with her past boyfriends.
She wondered why the gap between people could be so vast.
After a long while, she recovered slightly. "Brother, I've heard about your and sister-in-law's stories for a long time. Seeing it with my own eyes still makes me unable to help but be moved. If only I could find a husband as good as you."
Zhan Mohan found her words somewhat amusing and exasperating. "You've helped me and Yu Meng this time. I can help you find a suitable man."
"Okay! Then I'll graduate early and come back to find you guys!" Xue Fu happily hung up the phone and then left for school.
Inside the room, Wei Yumeng knew nothing about the conversation between Xue Fu and Zhan Mohan. At this moment, she was looking at the laptop Xue Fu had left behind, the page still displaying the map.
She had already done a brief investigation into each of the locations marked by Xue Fu and had chosen the market that received the highest ratings from locals.
She would not allow herself to make any more mistakes in this matter. She had to give Zhan Mohan and the Zhan Corporation an explanation.
