If we look at the order of appearance in the novel, Ning Yu should actually be the first female lead in the novel.
She first appears in Chapter 3 and occupies a significant portion of the story until its conclusion.
Of course, the world created in a novel cannot be taken as a complete reference from the novel's plot.
Xia Muge walked towards Ning Yu.
His gaze was undisguisedly scrutinizing, and this obviously aggressive look made Ning Yu frown.
This beautiful woman had skin as white as snow, and her features were exceptionally captivating. However, she exuded an aura of coldness that kept people at a distance, making her difficult to approach.
She greeted him coldly, "Hello, President Xia."
The man in front of her was handsome, but she didn't care.
Having lived in a wealthy family, she knew that the more handsome a man was, the more likely he was to deceive people.
However, the Ning family is not as prosperous as before, and the Ning family's business still needs to rely on the Xia family. So even though Xia Muge was looking at her with an open gaze, she still had to hold back.
Ye Feng suddenly shouted, "It's you! Get out of my way!"
Xia Muge and Ning Yu's expressions darkened.
Before Xia Muge could speak, Ning Yu said directly, "Ye Feng, this is the president of Xia's Group. Please be polite."
Clearly, Ning Yu was quite protective of Ye Feng at this time.
This is not the time when the story has just begun.
Xia Muge also knew that Ye Feng had helped Ning Yu solve some troubles, which made Ning Yu look at him with new respect.
However, at this time, Ye Feng was staying at the Ning family home, pretending to want to break off the engagement with Ning Yu, but Old Master Ning refused to back down.
Ning Yu's dislike for Ye Feng outweighed her liking for him.
"Hehe, I have no manners towards people like that."
Ye Feng still maintained his arrogant attitude, as if he were the most important person in the world, making Ning Yu feel embarrassed.
Ye Feng was someone she brought in, and he represented her reputation.
If Xia Muge were to pursue this matter, then...
As expected, Xia Muge's face darkened.
He was overjoyed.
Ning Yu values the president of Ning's Group more than herself. If you want Ning Yu to submit obediently, then just bring down Ning's Group.
He wouldn't mind teaching this aloof CEO a lesson.
Xia Muge spoke calmly: "Is this the Ning family's attitude?"
Ning Yu gritted her teeth and quickly scolded Ye Feng, "Get out of here! You're not welcome here!"
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"
Ye Feng quickly said, "Don't let him threaten you, he wouldn't dare to mess with me."
He glared at Xia Muge and said, "It seems I wasn't fierce enough, giving you the illusion that I'm easy to bully. You'd better kneel down right now, and I might consider letting you go."
Xia Muge had a cold smile on his lips.
Just then, the conflict between the two attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
Some people whispered, their expressions revealing amusement.
"Who is this, daring to speak to Young Master Xia like that?"
"Looks like someone from the Ning family. Does Ning Yu have that much guts?"
"The Ning family has been doing very well lately. President Ning doesn't seem like such an unwise person."
"Offending Young Master Xia would be disastrous. Everyone knows that the Xia Group is thriving under Young Master Xia's management. Especially recently, Young Master Xia has tied some projects to other families, making it virtually unshakeable."
The hushed conversations of the crowd naturally reached Xia Muge's ears.
He looked at Ye Feng, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
However, Xia Muge did not make things difficult for Ye Feng at this moment. Instead, he looked at Ning Yu and said, "President Ning, if this is the quality of the people you brought, then I need to reconsider our cooperation."
The Ning family is a small group.
Grandpa Ning wasn't suited for business; he just made his fortune during a particular period.
However, he retired early, and after Ning Yu's father took over, the Ning family business continued to decline.
At that time, the Ning family was operating in the clothing category, which had very low barriers to entry.
Although they are making money, profits are decreasing and their financial statements are becoming increasingly unattractive.
When Ning Yu took over, she first cut a series of complicated and hard-to-sell clothing items, then took advantage of the internet for marketing, and later hired many fashion designers and celebrities to attract customers.
Then, Ning's ventured into the beauty and cosmetics industry.
After a series of actions, the financial report was extremely impressive, and the stock price soared.
Ning Yu's abilities directly prove her value in business. Therefore, the Ning family does not want Ning Yu to marry out, or rather, even if she does marry out, she should marry into a wealthy family.
However, Old Master Ning insisted on fulfilling the marriage agreement and was determined to have Ning Yu and Ye Feng get married.
While Ye Feng verbally proclaimed his intention to annul the engagement, he was simultaneously clinging to Ning Yu, demonstrating a discrepancy between his words and actions.
Anyway, they were all quite interesting.
Although the current situation of Ning Yu and Ye Feng is not widely known in high society circles, quite a few people are aware of it.
Ning Yu has many suitors, and many of them look at Ye Feng with displeasure.
Especially given that Ye Feng offended Xia Muge.
Ning Yu gritted her teeth, just about to say something.
Ye Feng said, "If we don't want to cooperate, then we don't want to cooperate. There are plenty of people who want to cooperate with the Ning family."
"Is that so?"
Xia Muge said calmly, "Then there won't be any more after tonight."
No one would consider cooperating with the Ning family while offending the Xia family.
Ning Yu realized this and immediately slapped Ye Feng across the face: "Get out of here!"
[Ding! Ning Yu's dislike for Ye Feng has increased. Congratulations, host, for disrupting the plot and gaining +500 Luck Points. Main character's Luck Points remaining.]
[Ding! Bai Ling's dislike for Ye Feng has increased. Congratulations, host, for disrupting the plot and gaining +500 Luck Points. Main character's Luck Points remaining.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for intercepting Ye Feng's opportunity. You have gained 1000 Luck Points. The protagonist's Luck Points are currently unavailable.]
[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward of Divine-level Medical Skill.]
Receiving three rewards in a row caused the system to unleash a god-level skill.
This surprised Xia Muge, but then filled him with elation.
These skills can be carried over to the next world, the world after that, and even into reality.
The system has stated that skills learned in the simulated world can be applied in reality.
Soon, Xia Muge's brain was filled with a lot of knowledge.
He has mastered countless pieces of knowledge that both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine practitioners should possess.
However, this skill is of little use to Xia Muge right now.
Ye Feng naturally possessed medical skills, and quite a few at that, which helped him expand his network of contacts.
But Xia Muge is not Ye Feng. His resume has been seen by everyone, so he doesn't have time to learn medical skills.
Besides, he doesn't need to rely on his medical skills to expand his network; he's rich.
However, having more skills is always a good thing.
Ye Feng glared at Xia Muge with resentment.
He wanted to say something, but seeing Ning Yu's cold gaze, he left instead.
However, Ye Feng secretly vowed in his heart: "I, Ye Feng, will repay this humiliation a hundredfold in the future!"
