Ah, by valuing him, you've gained both wealth and talent...
Ouyang made it sound so noble to call him a money-making tool, a shield, and a sucker, even after pushing Fu Yanshen to the brink of bankruptcy, he still wouldn't give up on manipulating him.
However, judging from the discussions around him, Fu Yanshen's only way out now is to get close to Ouyang. He came to this meeting to bow down to Ouyang.
Shi Jin released Ouyang and took a step closer to Fu Yanshen. "Ah Shen, after this crisis, you should have woken up. It's clear who truly cares for you and who is taking advantage of your misfortune."
She smiled gently and generously, glancing in my direction as she spoke.
This is a veiled criticism that I took advantage of Fu Yanshen's misfortune when he was in trouble.
Fu Yanshen remained silent, his expression indifferent, and no one could fathom what he was thinking.
"Ah Shen, apologize to your father. Let's get married as soon as possible. You'll still be the star of the show, Fu Yanshen, and we'll still be the closest family." Shi Jin's smile widened, her eyes filled with tenderness.
She gracefully walked to Fu Yanshen's side and stretched out her arm to take his.
Fu Yanshen, who had been motionless like a statue, finally stirred the moment Shi Jin touched him, his deep eyes coldly glaring at her.
Shi Jin took a step back, clearly wary of him.
"I've seen forced marriages, but I've never seen someone force someone to marry you off." Fu Yanshen narrowed his eyes, glanced at Shi Jin, and said sarcastically.
After saying that, he gave Ouyang a cold look, then turned and strode away.
"You—" Shi Jin stomped her foot in anger.
Ouyang glared at Fu Yanshen's back and snorted coldly.
"Isn't Fu Yanshen here to bow down? Then what is he here for?" someone in the crowd asked.
"Could they be here to participate in the bidding for the Z Foundation's project?"
"I heard he was sick and in a coma for two years, how could he possibly have any projects on hand!"
"That Fu Yanshen is truly ungrateful. The Ouyang Consortium took a liking to him and offered him their princess in marriage, but he refused to marry her!"
"If my son could marry Miss Shi, I'd be laughing in my sleep!"
The crowd erupted in discussion again, criticizing Fu Yanshen while praising Ouyang and Shi Jin.
I just heard that Fu Yanshen is on the verge of bankruptcy, and there are even female entrepreneurs who want to support him. It seems that he has experienced a lot of humiliation in the past few days.
Just like before, when the Sheng family went bankrupt, I, the fake heiress, was harassed.
That once high and mighty Fu Yanshen... has actually fallen to such a wretched state.
Can he turn things around?
My chest felt heavy, and I couldn't quite describe the feeling.
From a distance, he and Lin Xiao could be seen sitting down.
On the other side, the richest man in mainland China was flattering Ouyang.
"Mr. Ouyang, let's not waste our breath on that arrogant and ungrateful brat. I heard you participated in this project selection?"
"Given your investment acumen, the Z conglomerate is sure to be interested in your project this time, offering you hundreds of billions of dollars in financing. Please let us know—"
I was called to sit down by Song Sinan.
The conference hall was equipped with a stage and a dais. A huge screen displayed the projects that had been tendered. Below the stage were rows of seats where business leaders took their seats one after another.
After I sat down, I looked intently at the big screen.
After a long pause, Song Sinan spoke up, "Have you noticed anything from these projects?"
"It's surprising. I thought the bigwigs were still investing in real estate, finance, or manufacturing, but I didn't expect them to be investing in the tech sector, and so avant-garde at that..."
Brain-computer interfaces, AI, aerospace technology, and clean energy.
It's completely different from the business investments I usually deal with.
"That's how international summits are; they're at the forefront. We should learn more about them and use their themes as a barometer for investment. For example, tech stocks will definitely surge after this conference."
Song Sinan explained to me in a gentle voice.
"I understand, I'm going to buy more tech stocks," I said, half-jokingly.
Part of our company's start-up capital came from stock market investments.
The majority of the investment comes from physical assets.
Muye is a top-tier celebrity. A year ago, we leveraged his star power to launch his personal brand of trendy clothing, as well as a restaurant and a milk tea shop. We only recently began to see huge returns.
At this moment, the spotlights on the dome dimmed, and the summit officially began. Some of the bigwigs who didn't speak English put on translation headsets.
Through the introduction, I and everyone else present learned that Fu Yanshen had also participated in the project bidding.
His project is a hyperloop technology related to clean energy.
This project utilizes vacuum tubes and magnetic levitation technology to achieve ultra-high-speed ground transportation, thereby reducing dependence on traditional energy sources.
"How is that possible? This kid has been in a coma for two years, where would he get a project? Don't tell me it's a hoax!" someone shouted.
The screen was cutting to the front row of seats, where Mr. Ouyang's face was ashen.
Meanwhile, Fu Yanshen was standing on the podium explaining his project. He moved the mouse, and the video switched to footage of the Hyperloop in operation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this technology was developed by me more than two years ago. After more than a year of repeated trials and operations, it was successfully put into operation in Germany just a few days ago." Fu Yanshen answered the questions from the audience in fluent English with a straight face.
His words caused an uproar in the audience.
"He invested in such an advanced technology project two years ago?"
"It actually ran successfully!"
I never expected that Fu Yanshen had such an amazing project, which had just been successfully launched.
Next up, competing with his project is Ouyang Investment's AI artificial intelligence project, which is said to be able to replace manual labor once it is put into use.
