Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The entire scene was indescribably quiet. In the vast exhibition center, one could hear a pin drop. Everyone’s breath and heartbeat seemed to have ceased.

Almost everyone thought that Fang Yunshu must have made a mistake and was waiting for her to correct herself.

Fang Yunshu herself was also shocked, but after a few seconds, she regained her composure and smiled, saying, “Now, 1 invite Mr. Li Fengnian, the Vice Chairman of Li Corporation, to come on stage.”

Fang Yunshu’s words confirmed that she hadn’t made a mistake. The Nox Company’s partner was indeed the Li Family, not the Wang Family.

“This can’t be!” Wang Shengdong shouted angrily, “Why isn’t our Wang Family the cooperating party?”

Luna spoke directly, “Originally, Wang Corporation was indeed our Nox Company’s first choice for collaboration. However, in the past few days, we discovered a significant issue: there are considerable legal risks involved in some of the industries the Wang Family is engaged in. This would pose a huge risk to our collaboration. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, we had no choice but to abandon the partnership with Wang Corporation.”

This explanation made perfect sense. The Wang Family’s success was built on shady dealings and a multitude of dark secrets.

As a large corporation like the Nox Company, they could accept investment failures and losses, but what they were most unwilling to bear were legal risks. It would have a tremendous impact on the reputation of the entire company.

Wang Shengdong’s face turned pale, and through gritted teeth, he said, “Then why didn’t you inform us earlier? We have been preparing everything for cooperation with the Wang Family. This sudden termination of collaboration will cause significant losses to our Wang Family. Is this how the Nox Company conducts its business partnerships?”

At this moment, Li Tianfeng had already walked up to Wang Shengdong and smiled, saying, “Mr. Wang, your statement is incorrect. Everyone wants to collaborate with the Nox Company. Naturally, they would give their all. Before signing the contract, it’s about showcasing one’s strengths. The Wang Family lacks that kind of capability, but they insist on doing such things. They can only bear the losses themselves.”

“You…” Wang Shengdong glared fiercely at Li Tianfeng.

Li Tianfeng chuckled and said, “I am aware that many of the investments made by the Wang Family this time may not be of use. We can discuss it later. Our Li Family is willing to make some acquisitions.”

After speaking, Li Tianfeng calmly ascended the stage, leaving behind a group of furious individuals from the Wang Family.

However, the Wang Family dared not say anything at this moment. Besides the members of various prominent families, there were also many high-ranking government officials present. If the Wang Family dared to cause trouble, those officials would certainly not stand idly by.

So, for now, they could only bear it themselves and swallow their pride.

This signing ceremony was directly handled by Fang Yunshu and Li Tianfeng.

This further confirmed that Fang Yunshu was now the sole representative of the Nox Company.

The ceremony was short and ended in less than half an hour.

However, the impact it had on everyone lingered for a long time.

The Wang Family suffered the heaviest losses here, as they had considered themselves the most powerful family in Ning City. The members of the Wang Family were always domineering and assertive, so they had undoubtedly offended countless people.

Due to their status, everyone tolerated them for a while. But now, who would still endure it? At this point, it was unknown how many people were secretly preparing to find faults in the Wang Family.

Aware of this, the Wang Family had already left early. They needed to make many preparations and try to recover their losses.

However, there was another family here that felt the most awkward and regretful.

That family was none other than the Fang Family.

They had schemed and tried every means to ally themselves with the Wang Family, only to see the Wang Family fall.

They expelled Fang Yunshu from the Fang Family lineage, leaving no room for negotiation. They initially thought it was an insignificant matter, but now they realized it was their biggest regret.

They had chosen the wrong path and missed the opportunity that could have allowed the Fang Family to rise.

They could all feel the gazes of other families looking at them as if they were fools.

Yet, unlike the Wang Family, they didn’t leave. They were still here, waiting for an opportunity.

As it was a banquet, Fang Yunshu and Luna held their wine glasses and exchanged a few words with representatives from various major families.

Finally, the two of them approached the Fang Family.

Fang Yunshu’s emotions were incredibly complex at this moment. She had no idea how to face the Fang Family.

Luna exchanged a few pleasantries and then patted Fang Yunshu on the shoulder, pushing her forward.

Everyone in the exhibition hall turned their attention to the Fang Family.

Fang Qianlong cleared his throat and smiled, saying, “Congratulations, Yunshu. You are the pride of our Fang Family. We are blessed to have someone as talented as you, a testament to our ancestors’ virtues.”

Shameless!

Almost everyone thought this in their hearts.

The Fang Family had expelled Fang Yunshu from their lineage, and now they were saying such words. It was the pinnacle of shamelessness.

Fang Yunshu opened her mouth, feeling extremely conflicted inside.

“Well… you have quite the nerve to say something like that.”

Others hesitated to break the silence, but Ye Xiaofei had no such reservations. He directly stripped away the last trace of dignity from the Fang Family..
