According to Zhan Yangyi's invitation, Wei Yumeng came to the tennis court. It was said that Mr. Wu, who was collaborating with them, was a tennis enthusiast, so at Mr. Wu's request, Wei Yumeng had to come.
In fact, Wei Yumeng did not often come to such places, but for the project, she had to give it her all.
Today, Wei Yumeng specially wore a tracksuit suitable for playing tennis. Coupled with a tennis hat and a high ponytail, she looked completely different from her usual demeanor.
Usually, Wei Yumeng was more like an intellectual lady, but now she appeared much younger. Moreover, since she was not good at tennis, her movements were a bit clumsy, making her look very cute.
This Mr. Wu's eyes had not left Wei Yumeng.
"Mr. Wu, please excuse my poor play. I'm really not very good at tennis usually," Wei Yumeng said a little awkwardly.
Mr. Wu, however, smiled and said, "It's fine. I'm very happy to see that even if Miss Wei is not good at it, she still came to play with me. I feel very honored."
This made Wei Yumeng feel even more embarrassed. After all, she was not here for Mr. Wu, but rather for their project.
They had been exercising here for half an hour, but for some reason, Zhan Yangyi had not yet arrived.
Wei Yumeng looked at Mr. Wu and felt that he seemed very familiar with Zhan Yangyi. If so, could she learn something about Zhan Yangyi through this Mr. Wu?
"Mr. Wu, are you very familiar with President Zhan?"
"Yes, we are old partners. We collaborated on projects even before he established his own company. He is a very capable person, and I am very confident working with him."
Mr. Wu spoke seriously, making Wei Yumeng feel that he was not intentionally speaking well of Zhan Yangyi.
Wei Yumeng nodded, "It's the first time our Feng Group is cooperating with them, so we are still a bit unsure. However, hearing what Mr. Wu said, I feel much more at ease."
Hearing this, Mr. Wu chuckled, "It seems Miss Wei is very confident in my words."
Wei Yumeng just smiled politely. She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she felt that Mr. Wu was getting closer and closer to her as he sat there.
Wei Yumeng subconsciously moved a little, but unexpectedly, Mr. Wu indeed moved closer again.
"Actually, Miss Wei, with your Feng Group, we can cooperate directly without going through Zhan Yangyi. If you are willing, I happen to have a multinational project, and we can collaborate on it."
As he spoke, Mr. Wu actually reached out to grab Wei Yumeng's hand. Wei Yumeng was startled by this action and immediately stood up.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu. It's also our first time cooperating. So, if we were to cooperate independently, I hope we can decide on that after this collaboration," Wei Yumeng said politely but with a hint of awkwardness to Mr. Wu.
However, her reaction only made Mr. Wu like her more.
"Miss Wei, you really don't need to be so patient. With our relationship, I can even offer your Feng Group more projects, as long as you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Wu lunged towards Wei Yumeng again, looking like he intended to embrace her directly this time.
Wei Yumeng was startled. She realized that there were clearly other people here just moments ago, but now only they remained.
Could this have been intentionally arranged by Zhan Yangyi?
Wei Yumeng felt a shock. What should she do now? Even if she called for help, no one would probably come to her aid.
Mr. Wu, with his persistent intentions, continued to approach Wei Yumeng, who could only step back step by step until she was forced into a corner.
"Miss Wei, I really like you. How about..."
Just then, Mr. Wu was suddenly pulled away by a force, and Wei Yumeng was instantly saved.
The person who arrived was Zhan Yangyi.
"Mr. Wu, I was only away for a moment, and you've already started bullying my partner so quickly?"
He said this while walking between Mr. Wu and Wei Yumeng, shielding Wei Yumeng behind him.
"I don't care how you treated your other partners before, but Miss Wei here is already taken and someone you can't afford to offend. So, I advise you to give up this idea."
Zhan Yangyi spoke with a hint of danger in his tone, and Wei Yumeng even saw a trace of fear in Mr. Wu's eyes.
Wei Yumeng was momentarily confused. She had just thought that Zhan Yangyi's invitation for cooperation was a scheme, but now it seemed that Zhan Yangyi was on her side. Could he be so kind?
Mr. Wu gave an embarrassed smile, "So that's how it is. I apologize for what just happened, Miss Wei. I was momentarily infatuated, and it's because you are truly too beautiful."
Wei Yumeng then spoke faintly, her politeness clearly diminished.
"Mr. Wu is joking. Since it was a misunderstanding, let's not mention it again."
Mr. Wu quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, we won't mention it, won't mention it."
Zhan Yangyi looked at Wei Yumeng and smiled faintly, making Wei Yumeng wonder if her thoughts were too petty.
Perhaps Zhan Yangyi truly intended to do a good project with Feng Group, but she was judging a gentleman with a villain's mind?
During the subsequent exchanges, Zhan Yangyi intentionally or unintentionally protected Wei Yumeng, making it impossible for Mr. Wu to continue harassing her.
They played tennis and discussed business, which lasted the entire afternoon.
This was the first time Wei Yumeng truly felt Zhan Yangyi's capabilities. Before, she only thought he was methodical in his work, but now she discovered another characteristic of his.
His social skills were excellent. He knew how to talk to anyone, regardless of their background, and could make them gradually drop their guard during conversations, ultimately achieving his business goals.
This was truly different from Zhan Mohan, who often wore a poker face in business dealings.
"Miss Wei, I apologize for frightening you today. He is quite reliable in his work, but he's a bit of a lecher. However, don't worry, with me here, he won't misbehave."
Zhan Yangyi said with a look of apology. Although he had apologized many times, he still seemed to feel that this was his fault.
Wei Yumeng shook her head helplessly, "President Zhan, it wasn't your fault in the first place, so please don't apologize anymore."
But Zhan Yangyi did not give up, "Even though Miss Wei says so, I still cannot forgive myself. How about I treat you to a meal? Consider it my apology to you, alright?"
Seeing Wei Yumeng still hesitating, Zhan Yangyi continued, "This meal is just to ease my conscience. I hope you won't refuse."
