Shen Wanning was the complete opposite of Song Luoluo. Unlike Song Luoluo's formal dress, Shen Wanning was dressed casually today, wearing a sports cap.
Her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall as usual.
The moment Shen Wanning appeared, her eyes first landed on Xu Mu.
Her second glance fell upon her nemesis, Song Luoluo.
"Wanning, you're here."
Upon seeing Shen Wanning, Feng Jian immediately walked over with a broad smile.
He had long since staked his future on Shen Wanning.
It's important to note that he was merely the second son of the Feng Family, with an elder brother above him.
If it were his biological elder brother, it might have been a different story.
The key issue was that this elder brother was born to his father's first wife.
After Feng Kang divorced his first wife, he married Feng Jian's mother and had Feng Jian.
In other words, when Feng Kang passes away, the family inheritance will need to be contended for.
In smaller families, a typical husband might fear a second wife.
After all, marrying a wife requires a significant financial outlay, especially after losing the first wife; the second wife is often cherished, lest she leaves.
Ordinary families can't afford to have three wives.
But in a family like the Feng Family, Feng Jian's mother had no say.
Feng Kang greatly favored his eldest son.
Thus, Feng Jian and his mother devised a plan to ally with other powers.
The Shen Family became Feng Jian's target for alliance, and if he could marry Shen Wanning, the Shen Family would undoubtedly support him in the future.
The Shen Family was even more powerful than the Feng Family, and with their backing, the Feng Family would naturally fall into Feng Jian's hands.
Therefore, Feng Jian cared about Shen Wanning more than anyone else.
"Mhm."
Shen Wanning nodded lightly at Feng Jian, then headed straight toward Xu Mu and Xu Shou.
The biggest star of today's banquet was undoubtedly Li Feipeng.
Following him were the Shen Family, the Feng Family, and Song Luoluo.
Xu Shou and Xu Mu, on the other hand, were neglected, with only a few people coming over to greet them.
But as soon as Shen Wanning approached them, this corner drew attention once again.
Feng Jian squinted from afar, trying to discern Shen Wanning's intentions before making his next move.
"Hello, Uncle Xu."
When investigating Xu Mu earlier, Shen Wanning had also looked into Xu Shou and found herself admiring him.
"Wanning, when you came to shoot the advertisement, why did you leave so soon? I didn't even get a chance to meet you."
Xu Shou said with a smile.
"I had other matters that day, so I left early," Shen Wanning replied, then turned to Xu Mu. "Come with me; I want to talk to you alone."
Xu Mu nodded with a smile and got up willingly, following Shen Wanning to the large window.
From here, they could gaze out at the nightscape of Jiang City.
"You must be aware of the online criticism against me, right?" Shen Wanning glared at Xu Mu angrily.
"I haven't really noticed. What I've seen is mostly criticism of our Xu Group. They just say you're a bit naive for agreeing to take our Xu Family's advertisement," Xu Mu said with a chuckle.
"Isn't that criticism against me? Xu Mu, my dad found out about this and scolded me! I'm telling you, if what you said before was false, I won't let you off!"
Shen Wanning clenched her delicate fists.
Xu Mu smiled without saying a word; this girl was quite cute when she got angry.
"Isn't this Miss Shen?"
Just as the two were talking, Song Luoluo walked over with a smile.
Shen Wanning saw Song Luoluo and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. "Miss Song, is there something you need?"
"No, I was just curious. I recently became the spokesperson for a weight-loss drug, and you did too. When I start acting, will you be my stand-in?"
Song Luoluo covered her mouth and giggled. "Just kidding."
She knew Shen Wanning had an unusual background, but she also had a godfather who was a big entrepreneur from another province.
"You..."
Shen Wanning was too angry to speak.
He did regret it a bit; even his father said she was too impulsive.
"Miss Song, even if it were a stand-in, it would be you standing in for Miss Shen," Xu Mu said with a smile from the side. "She endorses the real drug, while yours is fake."
He wasn't particularly fond of Song Luoluo; in terms of sexiness, she couldn't compare to Feng Yue.
In terms of boldness, she was just more revealing.
Judging by her size, she was only at the D level.
Xu Ningbing's E level surpassed hers, not to mention the even stronger Li Yun.
"Fake? Xu Mu, the ingredients in the weight-loss drug are all herbal; the effects are evident. Are you saying it's fake?"
Feng Jian walked over from a distance and said.
"Even if it's real, so what? Our Xu family has plenty of funds. Our weight-loss drug will crush theirs!"
Xu Mu raised his head, imitating the previous villainous Xu Mu, and said loudly.
"Does your Xu family have more funds than our Feng family? We'll fully invest in flavorful foods. When it comes to burning money, what is your Xu family?"
Feng Jian looked coldly at Xu Mu.
"How about we make a bet? In ten days, our sales will surpass those of flavorful foods," Xu Mu said with a smile.
"Fine! I'll bet with you! What do you want to bet?"
Feng Jian had studied business knowledge; the weight-loss drug from flavorful foods was in a boom period.
Not just ten days; it should continue to rise for months. What does the Xu family have to surpass it?
"We won't bet much, just fifty billion. If, in ten days, our Xu family sales don't surpass flavorful foods, our Xu Group will donate fifty billion in the name of your Feng family to Project Hope."
Xu Mu pointed at Feng Jian and said, "If you lose, your Feng family will donate fifty billion in our Xu family's name. Dare you?"
"I..."
Feng Jian hesitated and looked back at Feng Kang.
There were many companies with a market value of fifty billion nationwide, but not many could donate fifty billion at once.
"Afraid to bet? Old man, do you agree with my wager?" Xu Mu looked back at Xu Shou.
"I agree. Since you're so confident, I'll pay the fifty billion for you." Xu Shou smiled and raised his wine glass.
Feng Jian secretly clenched his fist. A business with only one male heir was truly enviable.
Not worried at all about anyone else taking the family fortune, Feng Jian was filled with jealousy.
From afar, Lin Yang looked at Xu Mu, revealing a faint smile. He really was a wastrel; he had overestimated him before.
"Our Feng family agrees too!"
At that moment, Feng Kang approached with a smile from afar, "Since it's a donation to the country, even if we lose, we're happy to do it."
He had already discussed with Lin Yang and Li Feipeng. He planned to invest three billion first to supply the slimming medicine from Flavors Food nationwide.
The Xu family dreaming of surpassing Flavors Food in ten days was simply wishful thinking.
Once they put up another five billion in donations, the Xu family would be completely finished. Not to mention Jiangbei, even their top spot in Jiang City wouldn't be secure.
"Great! Then let's sign the contract in front of everyone today," Xu Mu said with a smile.
The surrounding onlookers were all filled with emotion at this scene.
What kind of misdeeds did Xu Shou commit in his past life to have a child like this?
Agreeing to fifty billion just like that, this kid was going to ruin the Xu family.
Lin Yang smiled without saying a word.
He had to admit, Xu Mu had reminded him that the slimming medicine he got from the Xu family was a copy, not a cut.
He could produce it, and so could the Xu family.
Eventually, relying on their strong supply chain, their prices would be lower than his.
People instinctively choose lower-priced products, and once they find the efficacy is the same, naturally they would start buying the Xu family's slimming medicine.
He originally planned to take it all, but now it seemed he had to find investors to further expand production.
He would share some of the profits with the Feng Family; only then could they completely crush the Xu family.
Collaborating with the Feng Family also meant he could use Feng Kang to threaten Feng Yue.
A piece of trash supported by an old man dared to deceive him. He was a very vengeful person.
Xu Mu asked the staff here to print the contract. Nearly a week had passed, and within three days, their slimming medicine would definitely have issues.
That would be quite a show.

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange?
