The s.h.i.+ family was very powerful. Initially, they targeted the foreign market. Later on, they entered the domestic market and achieved great success. They even had connections in the political world, and their relations.h.i.+p with the Li family was also deep.

The s.h.i.+ family had a few sworn enemies. The Jiang family and the Xiao family were two families that were not invited to this c.o.c.ktail party. Their relations.h.i.+p with the Tan family could only be considered relatively neutral.

This time, Tan Jing came to look for Yuan Shu to discuss a collaboration because s.h.i.+ Xiao was missing and wasnt in the country. He saw that the s.h.i.+ family didnt have a leader. As a woman, how could Yuan Shu understand business matters? If they reached a collaboration, the s.h.i.+ family would be easy to manipulate.

Moreover, this project was neither big nor small. Even if the Tan family and the s.h.i.+ family reached a cooperation, it didnt mean that the two families would be on good terms with each other. The Tan family could still maintain a neutral stance.

Tan Jings plan was very cunning.

Originally, the Tan family was invited to this c.o.c.ktail party. Tan Jing explained to the Jiang and Xiao families that Yuan Shu wanted to collaborate with Tan Jing. This also explained why Tan Jing came twice and received two boxes of fruits.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu refused and embarra.s.sed Tan Jing.

After todays banquet ended, the entire upper society would probably be gossiping about it tomorrow.

After Tan Jing left, Yuan Shu asked s.h.i.+ Lu, Youve heard about this project. What do you think about it?

s.h.i.+ Lu was puzzled. What do you mean? Didnt you say that you wont cooperate with them? Why are you still thinking about this?

Yuan Shu revealed a brilliant smile. I said that the s.h.i.+ family wont cooperate with them, but 1 didnt say that Im not interested.

Yuan Shu explained, The collaboration between the two families involves too many complicated things, so I cant make this decision easily. However, this project is indeed profitable. If we invest in it with another ident.i.ty, it might provide a considerable income.

s.h.i.+ Lu had been interacting with Yuan Shu for so long, but this was the first time he had seen her so interested in something. He asked, Are you short of money? Is the s.h.i.+ familys money not enough for you to spend?

Pfft! Yuan Shu chuckled and patted s.h.i.+ Lus shoulder. You already said that its the s.h.i.+ familys money. What I need is my own money. I cant rely on the s.h.i.+ family forever.

s.h.i.+ Lu looked at Yuan Shu in a daze. She was clearly right in front of him, but s.h.i.+ Lu felt that she might leave at any time.

It was also at this moment that s.h.i.+ Lu suddenly made a decision. He had to make some achievements and let Yuan Shu see that he was worthy of her being good to him. He would also help her when she needed help in the future.

Therefore, he needed to deal with the production team of Gunshot. He could only rely on himself for this matter. He couldnt trouble Yuan Shu.

At midnight, the banquet finally ended. After Yuan Shu and s.h.i.+ Lu sent everyone away, they watched as various luxury cars left and the taillights of the cars flickered.

Yuan Shu asked curiously, If 1 remember correctly, s.h.i.+ Bin studied finance in university, right?

s.h.i.+ Lu nodded. Its the best major in A University. Its also one of the top ten majors in the country.

Yuan Shu didnt continue the topic and walked back to her room.

The next morning, Yuan Shu woke up at dawn. She put on a comfortable tracksuit and ran in the garden for about an hour before coming back to take a shower. By the time she sat at the dining table, it was already 8:30 in the morning.

The female butler of the ancestral residence was Wu Yan, and she was also an elder of the s.h.i.+ family. She handled things very well.

After Yuan Shu took the warm milk from Wu Yan and took a sip, she asked, Are the two young masters and young lady up?

Wu Yan replied, Second Young Master has already gotten up and gone out, but he said that he would be back for lunch. Third Miss left with Miss Chen last night and didnt come back. Fourth Young Master is still sleeping.

Yuan Shu put down the milk and picked up the financial newspaper that she had specifically asked Wu Yan to put on the table. Go and wake him up. Tell him that Im waiting for him downstairs.

Wu Yan wasnt like the maid of the s.h.i.+ familys other residence, Li Yue, who always criticized her master. When Wu Yan heard the order, she immediately carried it out. Twenty minutes later, the groggy s.h.i.+ Bin had already tidied up and sat opposite Yuan Shu..
