Neral looked at the few thin sheets of paper in his hand, his bright blue eyes filled with excitement. With his expertise, he could naturally see the actual value of this project. If the cosmetics really worked as described on the paper, then Fengshen International could very well dominate the field and even expand beyond its borders to compete with top international brands.

Originally, he had no complaints about losing the competition and being defeated by Mo Tan. Under the same conditions, there was only one reason for his failure: he was not good enough. However, he did not expect Xiu Qiyu to give him such a big opportunity. Neral was flattered and immediately promised that he would do his best to create a perfect plan.

Mo Tan is indeed better at handling the big picture than Neral and Gu Qi, making him a more suitable leader. Mo Tan has also proven his talent and ability as a leader. Therefore, Xiu Qiyu can confidently entrust the CEO position to him. However, after observing Neral's ability to handle and respond to major projects, Xiu Qiyu is impressed, which is why he took the risk of entrusting this project to Neral, hoping for a successful outcome.

Now that Fengshen International is gradually getting back on track, Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo simply gave work instructions and handed over tasks, as well as handled some important matters, before preparing to leave.

"Are we just going to leave like this, leaving all this to Mo Tan and Neral?"

"What else?" Xiu Qiyu raised an eyebrow. He was quite confident in his eye for talent. If these two worked well together, Fengshen International could very well reach new heights.

"I have already had the press department issue a notice that Mo Tan will become the next CEO of Fengshen International."

"I've already suppressed the shareholders' meeting. If you think Fengshen International is going to capsize, you might as well buy their shares sooner rather than later."

"There must be quite a few people who want to sell it!"

"That's right, these blind fools can't see the huge halo behind my head? They'll definitely regret it."

Xiu Qiyu quickly tried to appease Ye Xiruo: "They're blind; this is their loss." Based on Ye Xiruo's actions after taking over Fengshen International, those shareholders couldn't possibly feel at ease. Who knows, one day Ye Xiruo might be in a bad mood and sell Fengshen International. Of course, Xiu Qiyu would never say these things, otherwise Ye Xiruo would definitely explode.

"We'll still make an appearance at tonight's press conference to support Mo Tan." Then we'll leave early tomorrow morning.

Before Mo Tan could even savor the joy of successfully taking over Fengshen International, he was overwhelmed by a mountain of work. What Xiu Qiyu said was true; he would soon be leaving Fengshen International. This large and promising company had ignited Mo Tan's ambition, and he was determined to make Fengshen International go even further. He had to live up to Xiu Qiyu's kindness in recognizing his talent. He hadn't yet realized that he had already boarded Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo's pirate ship, and if nothing unexpected happened, there was absolutely no way he could get off.

Many years later, when Mo Tan looked back on the past, he still couldn't help but sigh. He had been completely deceived by Xiu Qiyu. It was promised that a new successor would be found in ten or eight years, but he had been in power for forty years and no one had come to take over. Yet, when others mentioned him, they were full of envy, jealousy and hatred. What kind of luck did he have to be chosen by Xiu Qiyu? Without Xiu Qiyu, there would be no him. Little did he know that he had been completely tricked.

That evening, the press conference for Fengshen International, facilitated by Hua Yue, attracted countless media outlets. The joint attendance of Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu became a major topic of discussion, as the two had been inseparable since their appearance, clearly indicating their relationship. This fueled speculation among reporters and even others in Linjiang City about the true nature of Ye Xiruo and Feng Yi's relationship. Feng Yi's decision to entrust Fengshen International to Ye Xiruo was seen as a testament to the depth of his love. However, no evidence was ever presented to prove any connection between Ye Xiruo and Feng Yi. The prevailing theory was that Ye Xiruo was an illegitimate daughter of the Ye family, and Feng Yi, knowing that Fengshen International would have no successor after his death, entrusted it to her.

This is the most acceptable explanation, although it is somewhat disrespectful to the deceased Father Ye.

The press conference lasted only twenty minutes. Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo irresponsibly left Mo Tan behind to deal with the media, while the two of them left without a care in the world.

Half an hour later, Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo changed their clothes and sat in a private room to eat hot pot. Sitting opposite them was Yang Yongqing.

"Come on, let's have a drink together."

"Don't rush, Brother Yang, I've brought some good stuff with me today." Ye Xiruo calmly took out a bottle of wine from her handbag. The bottle was a very ordinary glass bottle with no mysterious label on it. Naturally, Ye Xiruo had bought the bottle and then diluted the spiritual wine in her space to make her own.

"Brother Yang, let me toast you. Thank you for taking care of me all these years."

"We've known each other for so long, there's no need to say more."

After taking a sip, Yang Yongqing's eyes lit up instantly. This wine seemed very special; he had never tasted such a unique wine before. Moreover, after drinking it, he felt a warm current spread throughout his body, making him feel much more relaxed.

Yang Yongqing suppressed his shock and looked at Ye Xiruo's calm eyes and Xiu Qiyu's incomparably handsome face. He suddenly couldn't ask some questions. This kind of wine must be related to Xiu Qiyu and must be very precious. It was already very rare for Xiao Yezi to be able to take out a bottle.

"Brother Xiu, let me toast you. Thank you for saving Xiao Ye."

"No need. Cultivators value fate. The fact that I was able to save Xiao Yezi shows that we have a deep connection." Xiu Qiyu was talking nonsense with a straight face, but Yang Yongqing actually believed it.

After the three of them shared a drink, they started eating hot pot. The bright red broth simmered and emitted a fragrant aroma, and Ye Xiruo could hardly contain herself any longer.

"Brother Yang, please drink slowly, I'm going to start now."

"How can that be?" After saying that, she put down a plate of mutton rolls: "Xiao Yezi is treating today, so I must eat as much as I can to make sure I get my money's worth."

"Please don't be shy, Brother Yang, eat as much as you like." Then she poured Yang Yongqing another cup of wine. Although this spiritual wine was diluted, it contained Qi-nourishing pills, which would replenish Qi, improve complexion, and prolong life for most people. This was a small token of Ye Xiruo's appreciation. Ye Xiruo also left three bottles at the courier station, which she would deliver to Brother Yang after they left.
