"If you ask me, why don't you tell us yourselves?"
Zhan Mohan looked at Liu Wei, his eyes sharp.
Liu Wei shivered at the gaze, but he spoke up first, "Actually... actually, this is how it happened."
All eyes fell on Liu Wei, and even Wei Yumeng looked at him.
It seemed the problem she had been concerned about was real, and Liu Wei was indeed problematic.
But when had Zhan Mohan noticed this?
Thinking this, Wei Yumeng turned to look at Zhan Mohan and met his gaze.
There was a hint of apology in Zhan Mohan's eyes, but he still gave Wei Yumeng a smile.
"From the very beginning, when we followed Miss Wei abroad, it was all arranged," Liu Wei said cautiously. "We were paid to cause problems for Miss Wei during procurement, so that she would be forced to retreat."
He sighed, "Only none of us expected that even when things went wrong, Miss Wei would still manage to complete the purchase of raw materials."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng looked at everyone present.
According to Liu Wei, those who didn't want her to complete this project could only be the ones who opposed it from the start.
But even if it was one of these high-level executives, the project ultimately belonged to Zhan's Group, and they were also part of the project's vested interests. Why would they do such a thing?
Did they have any issues with Zhan's Group?
If that were the case, this matter truly highlighted an internal issue within Zhan's Group.
However, speaking of those who opposed this project the most, wasn't one of them right in front of her?
Wei Yumeng subconsciously looked at Wang Yi, who had just asked a question. As expected, Wang Yi's expression was a little strange.
"Who told you to do this?" Zhan Mohan asked, but even as he questioned, his gaze was already locked onto someone in the room.
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan, then at Liu Wei.
Perhaps under Zhan Mohan's pressure, Liu Wei would eventually reveal who was behind it.
But if it were revealed here, what would be the consequences?
Would all the high-level executives know that Zhan's Group was not united? And how would Zhan Mohan deal with the other party?
If Zhan Mohan handled it according to the rules, it would be in line with company requirements, but other senior executives might develop a rift with Zhan Mohan over this decision.
But if the punishment was too lenient, it would not be convincing.
Even if this matter were to be leaked by someone with ulterior motives, and everyone knew that Zhan's Group was not united, it would have a significant impact on the company.
No matter how Wei Yumeng thought about it, the final outcome did not seem optimistic.
"It was... it was..." Liu Wei's voice trembled.
Even if he revealed now who instigated this, he would offend both sides, and no matter what, he would not have a good outcome.
He began to regret his actions, but it was already too late.
"Wait." Wei Yumeng stood up.
Her gaze flickered towards the person she suspected, then turned back to Zhan Mohan.
"Mohan, I believe that no matter what issues lie behind this, as the person in charge of the project, I should be responsible. If I had been more careful during the project's progress, such a thing would not have happened."
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath. "Therefore, I am willing to take full responsibility for this matter."
Zhan Mohan did not reply immediately, but Liu Wei gave Wei Yumeng a grateful look.
By Wei Yumeng taking all the blame onto herself, she was trying to prevent the matter from being exposed in the meeting.
Perhaps Zhan Mohan revealing this in the meeting was all to clear her name.
But for Wei Yumeng, the situation of Zhan's Group was more important, and Zhan Mohan was far more important than her own reputation.
Everyone present looked at Zhan Mohan; his decision now was crucial.
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan with anticipation, wanting to convey through this look that she was truly alright.
After a long while, Zhan Mohan let out a sigh, his voice tinged with helplessness.
"I will not expose this matter here, but I hope everyone present understands that in Zhan's Group, no matter who you are, if you dare to play tricks in front of me, I will not let you off easily."
Zhan Mohan said this, and then looked at Wang Yi.
At this moment, Wang Yi nervously turned his head away.
In fact, he had done this for another company under his name. He no longer wanted to be constantly subordinate to Zhan's Group.
So, under his son's name, he re-established a company, and they happened to target the same project as Zhan's Group.
But their company naturally couldn't compare to Zhan's Group. If Zhan's Group took on this project, they would completely lose the opportunity.
That was why he had caused trouble, even intending to push all the blame onto Wei Yumeng.
Even if Wei Yumeng had a way to handle this, he would use it as a condition to pressure her.
"Mr. Wang."
Hearing this voice, Wang Yi snapped back to attention. The meeting was over, and everyone else had left the conference room.
Only he and Wei Yumeng remained in the room.
Wei Yumeng looked at Wang Yi, her eyes filled with confusion. "Actually, I still don't understand why you had to do this.
But I think it must be because Zhan's Group has not done well enough, which has led our senior executives to have such intentions. Therefore, on behalf of Zhan's Group, I formally apologize to you."
She said this and bowed to Wang Yi. "However, I hope that in the future, if you have any opinions, you can openly tell me and Mohan, rather than using such methods. You should know that if Zhan's Group faces trouble, you will not escape responsibility."
Wang Yi looked at Wei Yumeng, suddenly at a loss for words.
This was indeed his fault, but now Wei Yumeng was apologizing to him.
If his actions had been revealed in the meeting, he would have been ruined.
Even then, few companies would be willing to take him in.
"Miss Wei, I..." For a moment, Wang Yi suddenly realized how excessive and selfish his actions had been.
Perhaps he didn't have better prospects in Zhan's Group, but upon reflection, wasn't it also his own problem?
At this moment, Zhan Mohan pushed the door open. Seeing Wang Yi and Wei Yumeng still there, he was not surprised.
Compared to Wei Yumeng's politeness, Zhan Mohan's attitude towards Wang Yi was much colder.
"Wang Yi, consider this incident a warning. I will have Fang Xun pay special attention to your performance. If you do anything that harms Zhan's Group again, I will not let you off."
"I... I understand." Wang Yi lowered his head in defeat.
Although he had not lost everything, he still felt like he had lost completely.
