In the adjacent room, Wu Xuerou sat on the ground, weeping and enduring Di Ruihe's scolding.
"Useless creature, you're good for nothing but ruining things!" Di Ruihe cursed, pointing at her nose.
After enduring so much over the years, and with victory within reach, she had spoiled it all by failing to remain patient.
Kneeling on the ground, Wu Xuerou shuffled on her knees to him. "I was simply muddled for a moment. When I heard Qianqian could speak, I was scared and wanted to test it. Who would have thought that just touching him would cause his nose to bleed incessantly?"
"Idiot!" Di Ruihe kicked her away. "Use your brain and think, if she could speak, would she hide it and refuse to talk?"
She was just a child, no matter how shrewd, she wouldn't be able to feign perfection flawlessly.
Wu Xuerou was filled with regret, but now that everything had happened, there was no point in dwelling on it.
"What do we do now?"
"What else can we do? We'll take it one step at a time." Di Ruihe replied curtly.
While some were in distress, others rejoiced. Zhao Yanxia, holding her phone, gleefully informed Di Dongsheng outside about what had transpired within the room. At that moment, Di Dongsheng was with Jiang Feifei, and she heard everything that was said on the phone.
"I know. I have other matters to attend to. We'll talk about it when I get back." Di Dongsheng said perfunctorily, attempting to end the call.
Before he could finish, Zhao Yanxia, sensing his indifference, couldn't help but ask, "Where are you?"
"You wouldn't know even if I told you," Di Dongsheng replied irritably. "Alright, you stay put at home. Just watch the show, and don't get involved in anything for me."
Jiang Feifei covered her mouth and chuckled.
The call hadn't ended, and a coquettish sound reached Zhao Yanxia's ears. Di Dongsheng looked at her displeased and immediately hung up.
"I'm truly sorry. I couldn't help myself. I haven't caused you any trouble, have I?" Jiang Feifei asked apologetically.
Di Dongsheng was no fool; he knew perfectly well whether she had done it intentionally. Not wanting to prolong the conversation, he responded casually, "It's nothing. Let's continue discussing the project."
The Nebula project had currently entered its preliminary stage. Once the funds were provided, the project could be launched immediately. Di Dongsheng had secured the support of some shareholders, and their meeting this time was to sign the contract. With the contract in hand, he could then return to battle wits with Di Mingjue.
"Doesn't Mr. Di want to look?" Jiang Feifei asked as he held the pen and skillfully signed his name.
Di Dongsheng capped the pen and pushed the contract to the other side. "No need."
Jiang Feifei had never imagined things would proceed so smoothly. Fearing a change, she immediately wrote her name next to Di Dongsheng's signature. The contract was in duplicate, with each of them holding a copy.
"Ms. Jiang, would it be convenient to have dinner together to celebrate tonight?" Jiang Feifei invited.
Di Dongsheng picked up his jacket and refused resolutely, "No, thank you."
Leaving the coffee shop, Jiang Feifei watched him depart. Turning around, she informed Jiang Wenbin about signing the contract. Seeing that the Jiang family had gained the support of Di Jue Group, Jiang Wenbin, who had been keeping a low profile, immediately became arrogant. He proactively informed the entertainment press, urging them to disseminate the information.
He waited eagerly, but instead of seeing the news published, he received a call from Di Dongsheng. Di Dongsheng had prevented the press from reporting on the matter and warned Jiang Wenbin over the phone not to spread the news widely, as it would interfere with his plans. Di Dongsheng was now the benefactor of the Jiang family; whatever he said, Jiang Wenbin dared not disobey and followed his instructions completely. After hanging up, Jiang Wenbin giggled foolishly, holding his phone.
Meanwhile, Di Dongsheng brought the contract to his third uncle's house. Upon seeing the contract, his third uncle praised him, "Good, you're quite quick with your work."
