Rejecting My Cooperation Is the Biggest Mistake of Your Life

Since that's the case, Xu Mu figured Zi Wangyou most likely wouldn't be coming back and could only accept the loss.

She had already witnessed the experts of the Xu family. Under normal circumstances, she definitely wouldn't come back to throw her life away.

However, it's always best to be extra cautious.

His own father had such a good temper; perhaps she thought people like that were easy to bully and might make a move in the future.

Although the probability was very low, it wasn't zero.

"If there's nothing else, you can go. I have a meeting in a bit," Xu Ningbing said indifferently.

"I have one more thing. Barring any surprises, it's more important than your meeting."

Xu Mu leaned back on the sofa, hands behind his head.

"What is it?"

"The Dai family in Yang City, you know about them, right?"

"Of course I know. What? They still dare to cause trouble for us? Do they really think our Xu family is a pushover!"

Xu Ningbing's face darkened; this time she was even considering taking action herself.

"No, I'll just be straight with you. Ye Chen wants to wipe out the Dai family now. The Dai family can't find any help, so they came to me."

Xu Mu explained with a smile, "The money transfer I sent you earlier was the fee they paid me to find experts."

Xu Ningbing frowned, "Came to you?"

"To be precise, to the sect behind me. You've heard of this sect too, Zheng De Fa Xie."

Xu Mu continued, "But last time, the expert I found couldn't defeat Ye Chen. Now they're asking me to find someone again, and the price is even higher this time."

"What price?"

Xu Ningbing took off her glasses and asked.

"I'm going to have them transfer their two most profitable companies to us."

Xu Mu looked at Xu Ningbing, "You know which two are the most profitable, right?"

"Of course I know!"

Xu Ningbing had long since thoroughly researched all the industries controlled by the Dai family.

"Good. Give me the company names. I'll have them sign the contracts right now."

Xu Mu stood up from the sofa.

"No, my suggestion is to take one profitable company, and for the other, take their pharmaceutical chemical company."

Xu Ningbing explained, "Currently, our pharmaceutical company still needs to buy raw materials from others. If we control their chemical company, then both chemical raw materials and traditional Chinese medicine raw materials would be ours. This would lower our costs even further."

Xu Mu nodded inwardly. That made sense. Owning everything yourself meant no middlemen taking a cut.

However, if he were to say this himself, it would be slightly out of character for the persona he maintained.

He hesitated for a moment, then smiled and made the call.

Dai Xuan answered immediately on the other end, "Brother Xu Mu, how did it go?"

"My senior brother said one company is too little. He wants two."

Xu Mu spoke into the phone, "He wants an answer now. I'm only giving you one minute to consider."

"Hold on."

After Dai Xuan said that, there was silence. After waiting a full several dozen seconds, his voice finally came through, "Alright, we agree!"

"Good. Just transfer the companies to our Xu Group. As for which companies, my sister will tell you."

Xu Mu handed the phone to Xu Ningbing.

Xu Ningbing didn't stand on ceremony and named the two companies she had her eye on.

As for the contracts, they would be signed immediately.

Originally, Xu Mu wanted them to send someone over, but now, they didn't even dare to leave their hotel.

So, Xu Mu had no choice but to take Xu Ningbing with him and go there together.

Xu Ningbing also canceled a later meeting—what meeting could compare to acquiring two companies worth hundreds of billions?

Xu Mu and Xu Ningbing arrived together at the hotel where the Dai family was staying.

As soon as they entered, the security guards respectfully escorted them to the top floor.

"Hahaha! Brother Xu Mu, President Xu, welcome."

As usual, Dai Xuan was waiting by the door.

After everyone entered, the entire Dai family was gathered there.

"Well, President Xu, you certainly play your cards well. You took the Dai family's most profitable company at the moment, and also the company you need the most. I believe it won't be long before the Xu family becomes number one in Jiangbei."

Dai Feiying said with a faint smile.

Although he was smiling, inside he was already crying, but there was nothing he could do.

All of this was because they had provoked Ye Chen, and in the end, the Xu family reaped all the benefits.

"Our Xu family is merely a middleman at best. My second senior brother said that from now on, we must contribute tens of billions each year to support the sect."

Xu Mu chimed in from the side.

"Let's sign the contract quickly. I have another meeting later."

Xu Ningbing said coolly.

"Alright, come on!"

Dai Feiying took out a thick contract and placed it on the table.

Xu Ningbing walked over, skimmed through it briefly, and finally signed her name.

After it was done,

Dai Xuan pulled Xu Mu aside. "Brother Xu Mu, when will your senior brother arrive?"

"That's exactly why I asked you to sign the contract quickly. Only after the contract is signed will my senior brother come. If nothing goes wrong, he'll arrive tomorrow."

Xu Mu said with a smile. "Remember, after Ye Chen is killed, there's still another fifty billion."

"This... that's right."

Dai Xuan felt a pang of heartache—he had almost forgotten about that part.

Afterward, Xu Mu and Xu Ningbing left together.

This time, Dai Xuan personally escorted them downstairs.

Just as they reached the hotel lobby on the first floor, Xu Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xu Ningbing and Dai Xuan followed Xu Mu's gaze.

Dai Xuan was instantly terrified—it was Ye Chen who had arrived.

"Brother Xu Mu, I'm getting out of here!"

Without waiting for Xu Mu's response, Dai Xuan turned and ran.

Xu Mu and Xu Ningbing's expressions remained unchanged as they walked straight toward the exit.

Finally, they met outside the hotel.

Behind Ye Chen was Xiao Ran.

When Xiao Ran saw Xu Mu, panic flashed in her eyes, and she immediately lowered her head to look at the ground.

Lately, every time she went to sleep, she would recall what had happened between her and Xu Mu last time.

Even though Xu Mu's dominance had made her suffer that time,

a thought would inexplicably arise in her heart: she wanted it to happen again.

Even she herself didn't understand why she felt this way.

Apart from the matter with Xu Mu, she had also recently noticed a change in Ye Chen's attitude toward her.

Although she couldn't quite put her finger on it, she was certain of it.

She also had a suspicion in her heart: perhaps that day, Ye Chen had noticed that she had lost her virginity.

"Xu Ningbing."

Ye Chen calmly looked over both of them. "What are you doing here?"

Xu Ningbing frowned. "Do we need to report our whereabouts to you?"

"We had a contract signing with a client at the hotel. What about it? Are you here to sign a contract too?"

Xu Mu said lightly. "In broad daylight, you're not here to check into a room, are you?"

Ye Chen looked at the thick document folder in Xu Ningbing's hand and shook his head slightly. "Xu Ningbing, I told you that you would regret this. Even if I, Ye Chen, invested in a pig, I could make it ride right over your Xu family. Refusing to cooperate with me is the biggest mistake of your life."

"Hmph!"

Xu Ningbing snorted coldly, took Xu Mu's hand, and left the place.

Xu Mu grinned. It seemed the medicine Ye Chen had stolen was ready to hit the market.

You'll lose your shirt when it does.

Although Ye Chen might later blame Zhong Qianqian for it, that would work out perfectly for him—he could just take her in himself.

A top-tier hacker's usefulness was truly immense.
