Hearing Xuan Li’s words, the assistant pursed his lips. “CEO Xuan, that Xia Wanyuan is still quite amazing. Let’s not let our guard down. Besides…”

Before the assistant could finish speaking, Xuan Li threw a document at him. “Xuan what? Are you trying to say that Xuan Sheng is very amazing? Since he’s so amazing, why don’t you follow him? Why are you still here?”

Xuan Li had recently become 100% sensitive to Xuan Sheng.

He had thought that as long as he could snatch Glory World Corporation, no matter how amazing Xuan Sheng was, he could not make a comeback.

However, reality told him that Xuan Sheng had really made a comeback.

Xuan Sheng had specially established a World Glory Corporation opposite Glory World Corporation. Furthermore, during this period of time, Xuan Sheng had fully displayed his talent in business. Not only did he quickly gain a foothold, but he could also snatch clients from Glory World Corporation, making Xuan Li quite uncomfortable.

Being scolded by Xuan Li like this, the assistant immediately panicked. “CEO Xuan, that’s not what I meant.”

“Alright, get out.” Xuan Li waved his hand. “Keep an eye on Xia Wanyuan.”

“Okay.”

After the assistant left, Xuan Li continued to read the proposal in his hand. “Xia Wanyuan…” Xuan Li pondered over these words, his eyes filled with disgust.

He knew that Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan had worked together a lot, and he knew that Xia Wanyuan was very capable. On Xuan Sheng’s path to success, Xia Wanyuan’s help was indispensable.

To be honest, Xuan Li’s heart was filled with jealousy. He was wondering why Xia Wanyuan did not look for him to work with her back then.

However, the truth was already set in stone. What Xuan Li was thinking now was how to separate Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan so that Xuan Sheng could no longer obtain Xia Wanyuan’s support.

In fact, it would be even better if he could make Jun Shiling and Xuan Sheng enemies.

——

At that moment, in the manor, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were sitting on the sofa drinking tea when a silver-haired figure walked in.

“Cousin, Cousin-in-law.” Now that Mu Feng and Wei Jin were already husband and wife, he addressed her the same as how Wei Jin did.

“I expected you to come.” Jun Shiling put down the cup in his hand and looked at a document that was already on the table. “Take a look at this.”

Mu Feng picked up the document and flipped through it, joy flashing across his eyes. “CEO Jun, you’re indeed smarter than others. I’m haven’t come yet, but you know what I’m thinking.”

“Since you’ve already called me cousin-in-law, I must help you.”

“Thank you.” Mu Feng nodded at Jun Shiling.

The next day was the board of directors meeting in the Mu Corporation.

Mu Ting held the folder as usual and walked towards the chairman’s seat.

However, before he could sit down, a hand reached out from the side. “Wait.”

Mu Ting frowned and looked up, displeasure flashing across his eyes. “Why are you here?”

Mu Feng tilted his head. “Look at what you’re saying, Chairman Mu. Why can’t I come here? Grandpa has already handed the power of the corporation to me. I should be the one sitting in this position.”

Disdain flashed across Mu Ting’s eyes. The power in Old Master Mu’s hands had long been taken over by him. Now, even if Old Master Mu let Mu Feng take over, he did not have the right.

“Move, or I’ll get the security guards to settle it.” Now, Mu Ting no longer had the worries of Mu Feng being his only successor.

After all, he had been very successful in IVF recently. A pair of twins were growing in his wife’s stomach.

The current Mu Feng had already lost all his value in Mu Ting’s eyes.

Mu Feng smiled and looked at the other shareholders present.

“Everyone, do reason for us. Should I leave?”

At this moment, the major shareholder of the corporation stood up. “Of course you shouldn’t leave. You’re the future chairman of our corporation.”

“Indeed, if the chairman has left, what’s the point of us staying behind? The ones who should leave should be some unrelated people.”

Hearing the shareholders’ words, Mu Ting’s eyes widened. “What do you mean?!”

The shareholders avoided Mu Ting’s questioning gaze. “The student surpasses the master. It’s time for you to give in.”

Looking at these former good companions and brothers, Mu Ting felt his blood surge. “You!!!”

Ever since Mu Feng left Beijing with Wei Jin and disappeared, he had let down his guard. He never expected Mu Feng to suddenly do this to him.

This board meeting was especially long for Mu Ting.

However, in everyone’s eyes, it was only half an hour.

Half an hour later, Mu Feng sat on the chair at the front of the meeting room. As the abdicated chairman, Mu Ting could only stand aside with his things.

Seeing everyone enthusiastically congratulate Mu Feng, Mu Ting’s eyes were filled with anger. After a while, he flung his sleeves and left angrily.

Sensing Mu Ting’s departure, Mu Feng glanced over, then retracted his gaze and focused on listening to the directors’ reports.

Soon, the news of Mu Feng succeeding the chairman of the Mu Corporation was revealed on the official website.

Far away in Jiangnan, Wei Jin looked at the news on the official website as if she suddenly had a backbone that could support her.

The Mu family had a deep foundation and was an old family in Beijing. Now that Mu Feng controlled the Mu family, it was a rather beneficial condition for them.

Compared to what the major families saw, the netizens’ first reaction when they saw this news was mainly:

Another domineering CEO was born.

[Are all the domineering CEOs this year especially young? Look at what they’re doing in their twenties, then look at myself. I’d better go back and inherit my father’s land.]

[It turns out that Mu Feng isn’t a makeup artist. I’ve always been curious why a makeup artist is so arrogant. It turns out that he’s a rich second-generation heir who came out to experience life.]

[ Howl, I, who was silently following Mu Feng and Wei Jin, accidentally laughed out loud. Our Wei Jin’s quality of life feels like it can improve again. After all, her husband is already a chairman. ]

The biggest reaction to the change in the Mu family’s power was not Wei Jin, not her fans, but Jiang Kui.

Hearing this news, Jiang Kui even smashed the blue and white porcelain beside him.

“Jun Shiling again!!”

Mu Ting was on the Jiang family’s side, but Mu Feng, Jiang Kui knew very well that this person was definitely on Jun Shiling’s side.

This also meant that the Jiang family had one less friendly ally in Beijing.

Furthermore, it was very likely that the Wei family in Jiangnan would not be able to protect themselves because of this and would also be taken into Jun Shiling’s arms.

At that moment, the phone rang. Jiang Kui picked it up and his expression instantly changed.

That was because Father Jiang had let Jiang Yun take over most of the Jiang Corporation’s business in China.

In the past, these businesses were all under his name. In other words, Father Jiang was indirectly hinting to everyone that Jiang Yun was his next successor.

Jiang Kui could not sit still anymore. He stepped on the blue and white porcelain fragments and walked out the door. “Someone, prepare a car for me.”

——

Because of the change in the Mu family, the capital, which had temporarily fallen silent, seemed to have been triggered. The forces hidden in the darkness began to stir.

Unlike the busyness elsewhere, Xia Wanyuan was finally relaxed.

Someone had already sent the paintings in the studio to Linxi City. The school’s work had come to an end, and the students were on summer break, so Xia Wanyuan did not have to run to Qing University anymore.

Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan’s hand and strolled leisurely by the roadside. He glanced at Xia Wanyuan’s stomach and was a little puzzled. “It’s been a few months, why can’t I see your stomach??”

Xia Wanyuan touched her stomach, which did not look too obvious. “It’s normal. Some people’s pregnancy is obvious, and for some people, you can’t even tell when they give birth.”

It was obvious that he had never come into contact with such knowledge. Jun Shiling was a little stunned. “But your stomach is so small. Will they be crushed inside?”

“… How is that possible?” Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was starting to be anxious again. She held Jun Shiling’s arm. “Alright, stop thinking about it. Tell me, how’s Bo Xiao?”

Ever since she heard that Bo Xiao still had the residual S-virus in his body, Xia Wanyuan had been secretly worried.

Xia Wanyuan did not know much about viruses, but she knew that these unknown things often hid great danger.

If Bo Xiao’s matter was not resolved, Xia Wanyuan would not be able to face An Rao peacefully.

Speaking of this, Jun Shiling’s expression was a little solemn. “Speaking of which, I haven’t received any news from Xia Yu recently, but we can be sure that Xia Yu is safe, but for some special reason, he can’t contact us.”

“What do you mean by no normal contact?” Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.

She felt a little uneasy. Recently, she had been feeling that there were too many things that were developing in an unpredictable direction.

“Xia Yu has a satellite location on him. The location shows that Xia Yu has been moving normally, but he has turned off all his communication equipment with us.”

At this moment, in Continent F, Xia Yu had switched off his communication equipment. He looked at the man in front of him. “Tell me, I’ve already turned off my things. Why did you ask me to come?”

Wei Zimu turned around. Even in such a dark cave, the warmth on his face and body did not decrease at all.

“This is for you.” Wei Zimu handed a small box to Xia Yu. “Take it back. It might be useful to you.”

Xia Yu took the box and did not open it. He looked at Wei Zimu in confusion. “Who are you? What did you give me?”

Wei Zimu looked at Xia Yu with a very gentle gaze. “I’m your sister’s friend. You just have to remember that I won’t hurt you. I don’t know what these things are exactly, but I’m sure they’re useful to you.”

With that, Wei Zimu looked at the time. “I’m sorry, I’ll leave first.”
