Xia Muge was bitten awake the next day.
Mu Yun tossed and turned in bed, letting out all the pent-up energy from the morning.
Feeling refreshed, he casually rewarded Mu Yun with 500,000.
Mu Yun happily accepted it.
Although she felt insulted, she enjoyed the insult.
After arriving at the office early in the morning, Assistant Zhou rushed over and said, "I have contacted several raw material suppliers, and as you expected, they do not supply raw materials."
Xia Muge said calmly, "Alright, I wasn't planning on buying any anyway. Keep an eye on the jewelry being processed next, make sure there aren't any flawed pieces, and also make sure the craftsmen are supervised and don't get bribed."
Craftsmen are a rare type of skilled worker, and Xia Muge pays them the highest wages in the industry.
"Just wait, someone will contact us soon."
Assistant Zhou smiled and said, "Understood."
The Xia family already has the Qin family to supply the raw materials for their jewelry; the lack of raw materials is just a false rumor being spread.
Meanwhile, the Jiang family and other families were still attacking the Qin family's projects, trying to force the Xia family to bleed money.
However, as a large family, they also knew that such marriage ties were unreliable, and they would immediately cut their losses when the Xia family sensed something was wrong.
There is no such thing as two families marrying into the same family and one family unconditionally helping the other.
Marriage alliances are at best icing on the cake, but they can never provide help in times of need.
However, when they were dealing with the Qin family, wasn't Xia Muge using the Qin family to deal with them as well?
The Xia family cannot deal with them personally, otherwise it would arouse the vigilance of the higher-ups.
But the Qin family can.
If the Qin family grows stronger, then the Xia family will not be targeted by the higher-ups.
In China, once a organism reaches a certain size, it must stop growing; otherwise, like cancer cells in the human body, it will be eliminated.
Ultimately, they have to obey.
Xia Muge had no intention of making the Xia family the number one family, since he wouldn't be able to enjoy that anyway.
After arranging everything and handing it over to Assistant Zhou, he continued browsing the plot.
Currently, only a small portion of Ye Feng's storyline has progressed.
The stunning policewoman, the hardworking female student, the childhood sweetheart who grew up in an orphanage—none of them have even appeared yet.
Xia Muge's eyes narrowed slightly as he suddenly realized that at this moment, another plot was about to begin.
…
…
"Okay, okay, the price is negotiable."
"As long as the raw materials are available, it's fine."
At the same time, Secretary Zhou was on the phone.
A company claiming to be Dajiang Jewelry offered to provide Xia's family with raw materials at market price.
Secretary Zhou naturally had to appear 'overjoyed,' since at this point everyone tacitly felt that the Xia family had gotten themselves into big trouble.
However, they didn't notice that Secretary Zhou revealed a sly smile after the call ended.
He admired President Xia so much.
They've calculated everything.
Following Xia Muge's instructions, these raw materials were to be accepted if possible, but no payment or deposit was to be made.
The best approach is to trick the other party into signing an exorbitant penalty for breach of contract.
Although Xia Muge knew that this kind of contract was ineffective to some extent, she was willing to accept it if it could make Ye Feng a deadbeat.
Of course, in this novel world, whether or not the protagonist is a deadbeat seems to have no impact on him.
Xia Muge was prepared to swindle Ye Feng out of his money.
But at this moment, he also needed to do something else.
That was another opportunity to intercept Ye Feng.
After intercepting Ye Feng's jade opportunity last time, there were no plot updates for many days. But this time, the storyline involving Ye Feng has begun.
It concerns Ye Feng's medical skills.
A retired senior official in Beijing fell ill while taking a walk and was encountered by Ye Feng.
Fortunately, Ye Feng knew medicine and treated him.
Naturally, this former leader, Zhao Hong, provided Ye Feng with a lot of support and help, and even betrothed his granddaughter to him.
Although it's a very clichéd plot, it does manage to entice readers to keep reading.
But Xia Muge had more access to information and naturally knew that this old leader was the Xia family's biggest rival.
In other words, his help to Ye Feng was merely adding fuel to the fire.
The reason this leader is at odds with the Xia family is simple: the Xia family has blocked the business of the family he is protecting.
Thinking of this, Xia Muge's expression turned cold.
He squinted, deliberately waiting in the park where the plot was about to unfold.
Zhao Hong usually takes a walk at four o'clock, but today the weather was nice, so he went out earlier.
Despite being eighty years old, Zhao Hong is still in very good spirits.
The Xia family has been giving Zhao Hong some trouble lately.
Because of their retirement, the Zhao family has declined significantly, while the Xia family has grown stronger.
He knew that the Xia family had no powerful backers, and that the Zhao family's decline was due to his son's failure. However, Zhao Hong didn't think so.
He felt that his connections had been abandoned and even businessmen no longer respected him.
"We need to teach the Xia family a lesson," Zhao Hong thought to himself.
He used to have faith, but now he's only after money.
Just as Zhao Hong was pondering, he suddenly saw a figure.
It is a summer pastoral song.
He frowned and stared intently at him.
He knew Xia Muge; after all, everyone in the capital praised him.
Xia Muge pretended not to see it and turned to leave.
He didn't say hello, but for some reason, Zhao Hong seemed to be angry.
