Mu Zhendong’s heart was in turmoil.
He wasn’t foolish; he had sensed something off the moment he saw Mu Yining at the meeting, but he couldn’t figure out why Mu Yining was able to sit there. The only explanation he could think of was that Mu Xiangguang had made a move.
It still seemed far-fetched, considering Mu Xiangguang hadn’t left the Buddhist hall. How could he have met the newer generation?
It wasn’t until Gao Yi’s comment that he fully understood.
Mu Yining possessed a large quantity of rare metals, so significant that the seawater uranium extraction project considered her a key individual, large enough that even the Gao Family couldn’t help but be moved...
That’s why Mu Yining could sit at the red table meeting!
That’s why Minister Xu brought Xu Lixin to meet him!
Even Gao Yi had personally stepped in...
...
Despite the warm spring weather, and the people of Jiangjing shedding their heavy down jackets, Mu Zhendong felt a cold sweat trickle down his spine.
All this time, he had only managed to negotiate a small quantity of rare metals, and the contract with the supplier hadn’t even been signed. Mu Yining...
Where did hers come from?

The recent storms in Jiangjing had been relentless, and news within the circles spread quickly.
When the Mu Family’s economy had started to rise, most people merely smiled and moved on.
But now that the Mu Family had revealed assets enough to partner with the heavy industry, this implicated several research institutions behind them. Those with foresight could see that the Mu Family this time had a powerful backing.
The Xu Family naturally received the news as well.
During the evening meeting, Old Master Xu looked at Xu Nanjing, "Nanjing, have you been discussing cooperation with the Mu Family recently?"
Even this elder was surprised by Xu Nanjing’s sharpness.
"Yes," Xu Nanjing lifted his eyes, his tone calm, "The Second Research Institute is in further detailed discussions with them."
Xu Nanjing was designated as the next heir last year during the elder’s birthday celebration, bypassing Xu Jueling and Xu Jueming amongst the grandchildren. Xu Nanjing’s status in the Xu Family had always been on a rapid rise.
No one could have predicted the situation with the Mu Family. Xu Jueming had not received any news at all.
The Xu Family had a new appreciation for Xu Nanjing’s capabilities.
Listening to Xu Nanjing, Xu Jueming couldn’t help but look up, giving him an extra glance, trying to perceive something more.
He wanted to know how the Mu Family could turn the tables, and even more, how Xu Nanjing could do it.
Third Young Master Xu, used to mingling with a crowd like Jiang Fulai’s, appeared indifferent, not betraying a hint of disturbance.
They didn’t even glance sideways as they passed Dong’s father. freewēbnoveℓ.com
