Ji Yundong was 22 years old this year. Because Ji Yiyuan had made a lot of contributions, he had been promoted to the research lab.
Ji Yundong also knew that his ability in scientific research was indeed ordinary and he did not have any talent.
But the other members of the Ji Family who were of the same generation as him would try to curry favor with him in order to join Ji Yiyuan's research labs.
Ji Yundong had always been flattered and envied by his peers.
However, Fu Yunshen was only one year older than him and he was already the president of a company worth hundreds of billions of yuan.
The gap between people was just too big.
Ji Yundong was secretly jealous, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
He had just handed over the glass of wine when it was blocked.
It was so strong that Ji Yundong staggered. He was a bit angry, but he had to suppress it.
"Sorry." Yunshan did not even give him a smile. "President Fu doesn't drink."
He almost had the words "don't try to get close to me" written on his face.
But it was the truth.
Fu Yunshen did not drink, because he had to remind himself of the revenge of the Fu Family and he could not be sober.
The guests had already noticed Fu Yunshen and they had been watching him.
But Ji Yundong had failed to invite him to drink and had been mocked instead. He stood there awkwardly.
Staring at everyone's eyes, he did not know whether to advance or retreat.
Fu Yunshen, on the other hand, didn't look at him. His peach blossom eyes were deep as he ignored Ji Yundong and walked straight to the other side of the hall.
Yunshan followed him.
Ji Yundong raised his leaden legs and did not know how he returned to Ji Yiyuan's side.
He gritted his teeth and could not stand it anymore. "Dad, look at him. He has become so arrogant after becoming the president of the Asia Pacific region."
Ji Yiyuan also felt a bit embarrassed.
There were so many people watching, and they could not slap a smiling tiger. How could he not give them face?
However, Ji Yiyuan was more composed. "Anyway, he has already come to attend your engagement party. Sooner or later, we will be able to establish a relationship with him. Moreover, we don't need him to do that."
"The headquarters in Continent O is the headquarters of Venus Group. We can contact them directly."
Fu Yunshen was the most recent choice, and he was also from Hua.
Venus Group's Asia Pacific region had just been established not long ago, and Fu Yunshen didn't have much real power in his hands.
What's more, for such a large corporation, there would definitely be many internal conflicts. Wouldn't it be fine for them to choose the higher-ups who were against Fu Yunshen?
Ji Yiyuan didn't think too much about it and continued to talk with Old Man Xiu.
On the other side of the hall.
"Seventh Young Master." Nie Chao saw Fu Yunshen coming over and could finally say what was on his mind. "The Xiu family is really infuriating. I came here because of Xiu Yu, but after I arrived, they told me that they were going to hold Xiuyan's engagement party."
The Nie family and Family Mu didn't know what Old Man Xiu was thinking. They were all top wealthy families in the capital, so they didn't specially investigate like Yunshan.
Besides, Old Man Xiu could indeed hide it, but he couldn't hide it from the Venus Group.
"Okay." Fu Yunshen lifted his eyelids. "I know."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Nie Chao was even angrier. "Grandpa Nie, I'm leaving now."
"No need." Fu Yunshen said indifferently. "Wait for a while."
"Huh?" Nie Chao was a little confused. "Wait for a while for what?"
"To complete my girl's task."
"…"
Nie Chao was still at a loss, but since Fu Yunshen said so, he waited with him.
At half past five, the banquet officially started.
Several invited media outlets had also arrived. They were in charge of today's shoot.
"Thank you all for coming to my granddaughter's engagement party." Old Man Xiu took the microphone from the emcee. He was still sitting in his wheelchair as he said indifferently, "Today, I would like to formally introduce my granddaughter, Xiuyan."
"This child is worrisome. She played in the entertainment industry for two years, but now she's back."
Xiuyan walked up from the other side of the stage in a gown and smiled at the guests below.
Many of the invited dignitaries in the capital saw this scene and their expressions changed.
They had also received news that Xiu Yu was going to welcome her back, so they didn't know that there was going to be an engagement party for Xiuyan.
Old Man Xiu introduced. "This is Ji Yundong, Young Master Ji."
Ji Yundong's name wasn't famous, but the family name 'Ji' was known to all the dignitaries in the capital.
The Xiu family did business and the Ji family did research. This was a strong alliance.
In time, the Xiu family's development would surpass that of the Nie family and Family Mu.
At this moment, some of the people who wanted to leave started to hesitate.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the engagement ceremony started.
After seeing Xiuyan and Ji Yundong exchange engagement rings, Old Man Xiu finally smiled.
He was certain that with so many media outlets present, the Nie family and Family Mu wouldn't embarrass him and the entire Xiu family just because of Xiu Yu.
No matter what, Xiu Yu was just a junior. The Xiu family had many family members.
When he was young, he was also on good terms with Mu Heqing and Old Man Nie.
Would Family Mu and the Nie family really fall out with them in front of everyone because of a junior?
They would only do it in private.
At this moment, a low voice sounded. It wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it.
Fu Yunshen looked up and smiled. "Hang on, I have a question."
With a "swoosh", all eyes and cameras were focused on the man.
The media also noticed Fu Yunshen's presence.
For them, Venus Group was definitely more explosive than the Xiu family.
"President Fu, are you also here to attend Miss Xiuyan and Young Master Ji's engagement party?" A media outlet boldly handed over the microphone. "Do you have any blessings for the newlyweds?"
Fu Yunshen clasped his hands and turned around. He asked in a casual and serious tone, "Who is Xiuyan?"
"…"
The hall fell silent.
Xiuyan's smile froze on her face and her face turned pale.
"You don't know Miss Xiuyan?" The media outlet asked after the shock. "Are you here to …"
"Xiu Yu is a good friend of Young Master Nie Chao, that is why I am here. So …" Fu Yunshen's eyes landed on Old Man Xiu. "The Xiu Family lied to me in the name of Miss Xiu Yu's welcome party? Huh? "
Old Man Xiu's face changed.
Ji Yiyuan was startled too. He turned to Old Man Xiu and his face sank.
So he had been lied to too.
Old Master Xiu didn't tell him that there was going to be a welcoming banquet.
"It seems that the Xiu Family lied to me." Fu Yunshen smiled and said gently, "That is good."
"President Fu, this is a misunderstanding." Old Man Xiu had to speak up and lower his head in front of this young man. "There is a welcome party for Xiao Yu, right after Xiao Yan's engagement party. They are both my granddaughters, how can I favor one over the other?"
"Is that so?" Fu Yunshen stood up and said coldly, "From now on, Miss Xiu Yu will no longer be in charge of the Xiu Family and I will not work with the Xiu Family in any of the products under the Venus Group."
"Unless Miss Xiu Yu shows up in person."
Having said these words, everyone in the hall was startled.
Apart from Yunshan, Nie Chao was the only one who knew that his brother, who had been pretending to be rich, was actually the CEO of Venus Group.
With these words, he had cut off the relationship between the Xiu Family and the entire Venus Group.
Fu Yunshen got up and left the hall.
After he left, of course Nie Chao would not stay any longer.
The nobles in the capital weighed the power of the Xiu Family and the Ji Family and decided that they were no match for the Venus Group, so they chose to leave.
After the media got the news they wanted, they left one after another.
In just a few minutes, three-quarters of the banquet hall had been emptied.
The remaining people were the elders of the Xiu Family who were on good terms with Xiu Yan.
"A fake is a fake. You're just an illegitimate daughter. Why are you pretending to be a rich young lady?" A gorgeous woman walked out and glanced at Xiu Yan, whose face was as white as a sheet. She clicked her tongue and said, "You look so pitiful."
Old Master Xiu, who was still angry, finally exploded. "Xiu Shaowan!"
Xiu Shaowan was Xiu Shaoning's younger sister from the same father and mother as well as Xiu Yu's aunt.
"Aunt, I'll take you for a ride." Xiu Yu pulled the woman over. "I just bought a new car. It's very good."
Xiu Shaowan did not give Old Master Xiu any face and left with Xiu Yu.
This engagement banquet had become a joke.
No matter how tolerant Xiu Yan was, she felt so wronged that she burst into tears. "Grandpa …"
"Old Master, what do you mean?" Ji Yiyuan's face also darkened. "Didn't these people come for Yundong's fiancée?"
It was a slap in his face.
When had he ever been looked down upon by these people?
The more Ji Yiyuan thought about it, the angrier he became. "If that's the case, Yundong won't want this fiancée."
Ji Yundong cared more about his face than Ji Yiyuan did. He directly took off his engagement ring and threw it on the ground.
Old Master Xiu did not stop them and just watched Ji Yiyuan and Ji Yundong leave.
The housekeeper opened his mouth. "Old Master, this …"
"I miscalculated." Old Master Xiu was also angry. "Now, no one wants Xiu Yan, so forget it."
Anyway, he was going to give the Xiu Family to Xiu Yan's younger brother. Xiu Yan was just a side benefit and was not important.
"Get ready to send her abroad." Old Master Xiu ordered. "Don't let her come back."
Xiu Yan seemed to be well-behaved, but she would do a lot of tricks behind people's backs.
Old Master Xiu was well aware of this, so he would not let Xiu Yan ruin things again.
The housekeeper wiped his sweat and agreed.
Everyone in the big families knew that sending someone abroad in this kind of situation was equivalent to giving up.
**
Outside, in the car.
Nie Chao and Yunshan were in the front.
Fu Yunshen was sitting in the back with his slender legs bent. He was on the phone. "I've done what my girlfriend asked me to do."
"Thank you for your hard work. I've checked." Ying Zijin nodded. "Xiu Yan's father is indeed not Xiu Shaoning. Her father is the son of Old Master Xiu and his first love. Both mother and son died early, and their lives are down and out."
"I think Old Master Xiu wants to clear his name, so he forcibly put his wife and children under Xiu Shaoning's name."
Of course, this was not something she had checked, but something she had calculated.
Xiu Yan was an ordinary person, so it was very simple for her to be considered as Xiu Yan's immediate family member.
"En." Fu Yunshen's expression was casual. "I'll find evidence and send it directly."
After ending the call, he sent a few more messages and got someone to check.
Thirty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Nie family's old mansion.
"Oh my god, Xiu Yan really knows how to flatter herself." Nie Chao was playing with his phone as he got out of the car. Suddenly, he said, "She's going to inherit hundreds of millions of assets and get married. Can't she be more shameless?"
Yunshan leaned over excitedly. "What? What?"
It was a Weibo post with many marketing accounts.
The Weibo post was posted in the afternoon. When this post was posted, the engagement party had not been announced yet.
[Rumor has it that Xiu Yan has not only returned to her family, but she has also gotten married to a young master from the Ji family.
Many people probably have not heard of the Ji family, but this family is really powerful. Many of the things we use are invented by them. Just one laboratory has hundreds of patents and they have a very high status in the international scientific research world. They are at a level that we can't reach.
I have to say, this is a strong alliance.]
Xiu Yan's fans were very happy.
[My sister is amazing!]
[Baby Yan is the best.]
The marriage between rich and powerful families was a hot topic and it quickly rose to the top of the search rankings.
It had been more than six hours since noon and it had risen to third place.
# Xiu Yan, winner in life #
[Tsk tsk, so what if the Xiu family brought back an illegitimate daughter? She still has no status and has to carry Baby Yan's shoes.]
[Exactly. The Ji family is very noble in scientific research. They won't want an illegitimate daughter.]
[I found the name. It's Xiu Yu. This name doesn't sound as good as our Baby Yan.]
[It's not just bad. She's a little delinquent. She rides a motorcycle and races. She's not as gentle as our Baby Yan.]
Just as Xiu Yan's fans were celebrating, the hot search list suddenly changed.
Two trending topics appeared, firmly occupying the first and second spots.
# Venus Group announces that they will no longer cooperate with the Xiu family #
# Xiu Yan, illegitimate daughter #
----- Digression —
There was another post in the afternoon.
