Xu Mu and Ye Tong were sitting at the dining table. Because of the camera, Ye Tong was slightly nervous.
"It's okay, we're usually like this."
Xu Mu smiled at Ye Tong.
[Affection +10]
Ye Tong nodded lightly. Earlier in the living room, there hadn't been any intimate interaction between them, nor had they talked about company matters.
Thinking of this, she relaxed a bit.
After the meal, Ye Tong washed the dishes while Xu Mu headed upstairs first.
It wasn't long before Ye Tong also arrived in the bedroom.
Since Ye Tong's relatives hadn't left yet, Xu Mu wasn't in the mood for anything intimate today.
He thought it was fine to give himself a break.
Even though his body was so strong, he still needed to protect it.
...
Early the next morning.
Xu Mu opened his eyes, and Ye Tong woke up too.
Originally, Ye Tong wanted to make breakfast for Xu Mu, but he refused and told her to rest well.
[Affection +20]
Ye Tong was filled with emotion. She suddenly felt that she couldn't continue like this.
Staying at home all the time wasn't helping Xu Mu.
In fact, she already had a plan in mind, which was to find Wang Weiliang.
This man was an elder of the Ye family back in the day.
Her major in school was also in chemical pharmaceuticals, which corresponded with the family business.
But this industry was too costly. When Xu Mu asked her what she wanted to do, she directly gave up on this major.
But now, with Wang Weiliang at the Xu family, she planned to talk to him today.
Even if it meant working on the front lines.
...
Xu Mu made breakfast, ate a portion himself, and left some for Ye Tong.
After everything was done, he drove to the company.
He had just sat down when Xu Ningbing sent a message asking him to come to the chairman's office on the top floor.
Xu Mu got up and went to the top floor.
After knocking and entering the office, besides Xu Shou and Xu Ningbing, there was another person, Chen Bei.
"You're here?"
Xu Shou smiled when he saw Xu Mu.
Xu Ningbing squinted slightly; this Xu Mu was becoming more and more arrogant.
He had promised her yesterday that he would draw the shape of the celestial treasures for her, but he hadn't done it yet.
Did she have to beg him?
"Yes."
Xu Mu replied and sat on the sofa.
"What happened last night, Old Chen already told me. Qian Gang is truly shameless, using such despicable means."
Xu Shou's face was dark.
"I had no choice at the time but to agree to give him fake data. I was originally thinking of dragging it out for a few days."
Chen Bei shook his head helplessly.
"Xiao Mu, what do you think?" Xu Shou asked.
"We can't give them too much time. We need to make them anxious. I think we should spread the news that the preparations are complete and the approval is coming soon. Then we'll start the listing."
Xu Mu thought for a moment and said.
"Good! If they hear this news, they'll definitely speed up and start production."
Xu Shou smiled slightly.
Chen Bei stood up at this point and nodded to Xu Shou, "Chairman, I know what to do. I'll head down now."
Xu Shou nodded.
After Chen Bei left, Xu Mu sent the recording from yesterday to Xu Shou.
"This is a recording I spent a lot of money on, the information Chen Bei told you was only when he was awake. This recording has information from when he was unconscious."
Xu Mu leaned back on the sofa and spoke.
Xu Shou clicked on the recording, listening along with Xu Ningbing.
When they heard the conversation between Feng Yue and Qian Gang, both of their expressions became somewhat uneasy.
"How could you end up like this, Qian Gang? Truly disgraceful."
Xu Shou sneered.
"A sycophant is the least deserving of sympathy; in the end, they end up with nothing." Xu Mu folded his arms and shook his head gently.
Xu Ningbing and Xu Shou glanced at Xu Mu. It seemed that he had been seeking out Feng Yue not because he liked her.
...
Qian Gang took a few days of sick leave and did not go to work.
But in the Xu Group, he had worked for decades and still had considerable connections.
Today at noon, he received news that the Xu Group's drug approval had come through.
With this, it might not be long before they go public.
Qian Gang immediately went downstairs, preparing to find Feng Yue to share this news with her.
He reached the underground garage and had just opened the car door when someone suddenly rushed out from behind.
The man wrapped his arm around Qian Gang's shoulder from behind.
Qian Gang could clearly feel a dagger piercing his clothes, pressing against his waist.
"Who... who are you?"
Qian Gang asked, trembling.
"Sit in the passenger seat, I'll take you to see my boss."
The young man laughed as he spoke.
Qian Gang broke into a cold sweat. Despite working most of his life, he had never encountered such a situation.
Terrified, he complied.
The young man sat in the driver's seat and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, put your phone on the dashboard."
Qian Gang continued to comply.
The vehicle eventually stopped at Li Feipeng's villa, which specialized in gourmet foods.
Seeing this, Qian Gang already knew who wanted to see him.
After getting out of the car, Lin Yang and Li Feipeng were sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea.
Li Feipeng stood up with a smile to greet him, "Mr. Qian, I apologize for bringing you here in such a manner."
"Wasn't there a one-week deadline?"
Qian Gang feigned composure.
"Last night, with Feng Yue's cooperation, you should have obtained it, right?"
Lin Yang also stood up and walked over to ask.
"How... how do you know?" Qian Gang's eyes showed some fear.
"I didn't know just now, but I do now."
Lin Yang grinned, "So? You got it but haven't handed it over to me, what are you planning?"
"I... I thought Feng Yue had already given it to you," Qian Gang said. "Didn't you say she was your woman?"
"She is my woman, but this woman doesn't listen very well."
Lin Yang pointed at Qian Gang, "Hurry up and hand it over. If you give it to me now, I can give you a sum of money."
Qian Gang squinted slightly, then finally took out his phone, showing the fake data Feng Yue had modified overnight.
Li Feipeng snatched the phone and looked at the data, revealing a smile.
He then sent the data to his own phone.
"Go back, once we make money, we'll give you a bonus first."
Lin Yang waved at Qian Gang.
"My blackmail material..."
"Rest assured, we're engaging in a fair deal; we absolutely won't leak it."
Lin Yang said with a smile.
Qian Gang nodded and then drove away.
Li Feipeng looked at the information, his face filled with excitement, "Mr. Lin! We're going to make it big. I'm going to notify the department right now to prepare for full-scale production!"
"Are you crazy? You're going to start full-scale production without testing the authenticity of the drug first?"
Lin Yang glanced at Li Feipeng.
"You're right, sir. I got too excited." Li Feipeng chuckled, "Let's find someone first to produce a few samples according to this method."
"Alright."
Lin Yang nodded. He could sense the terrifying potential of this drug.
Once we have the money, we'll start dealing with the Su Family.
By then, Su Yaya, my unattainable dream, will surely come crying to beg me.

ither go to a cultivation world where a single sword strike can defeat ten thousand enemies. Or they travel back to historical dynasties to alter history and wield imperial power. At the very least, they'd go back a few decades to get rich using their future knowledge and build a harem. Who the hell would transmigrate here!

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
