Chapter 401: We Will Not Lose the Case!

Yunhe Law Firm relocated its headquarters to Shenzhen with the sole purpose of rapidly growing and expanding its influence.

For the young firm, the idea of making a name for themselves through a single high-profile, hard-fought case seemed like the perfect opportunity sent from heaven.

Such ambition was rare, as 99% of law firms in the country wouldn’t dare think so boldly. However, this boldness fueled the lawyers at Yunhe Law Firm to challenge a giant like Tencent Corporation, whom others feared.

Yet, no company was willing to provide such an opportunity, as Yunhe Law Firm’s ambitions were seen as unrealistic—like a toddler trying to enter university before even learning to walk.

Despite their ambitions, Yunhe Law Firm and Liang Shuang kept their aspirations concealed.

But when Shen Fei spoke up, suggesting a major battle was coming soon, their momentary joy quickly turned to helpless disbelief.

“If you’re confident, that’s good! Save your energy—soon, you might have to take on Tencent Corporation head-on!” Shen Fei smiled, noticing their hesitation.

As soon as the words fell, everyone stared at him in shock, especially the lawyers from Yunhe.

Save energy? Going up against Tencent Corporation soon?

Confusion filled their hearts. From what they knew, none of Xinyue Group’s projects—whether it was the scar-removal ointment, Xinyue Real Estate, or Xinyue Technology—had any connection to Tencent Corporation.

Behind them, Jiang Tiancheng and Hu Yuantai exchanged startled glances, equally shocked.

They had speculated earlier about Shen Fei’s “Tianjue” mobile game and predicted it would inevitably lead to a clash with Tencent Corporation. But to place such hopes and confidence on Liang Shuang? That was simply unimaginable.

“President Shen, this…” Liang Shuang was bewildered.

“Yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking! But you’ll have to wait a bit longer. If you’re looking for a chance to make a name for yourselves, I’ll give it to you. Whether you seize it or not will depend entirely on your abilities!” Shen Fei said with a smile.

“President Shen, if you give us this opportunity, we will not let it slip away! Rest assured, if we have justice on our side, we’ll have a strong chance of winning. If we lose, it’ll mean I, Liang Shuang, was simply incompetent, and from now on, Yunhe Law Firm will offer its services to you for free!” Liang Shuang said firmly.

“President Shen, I agree with Liang Shuang! If we go head-to-head with Tencent Corporation, I can’t guarantee a 100% victory, but as long as we have a legitimate case, we will not allow Xinyue Group to suffer any losses or Yunhe Law Firm to fail. If we do, then Yunhe will provide free services to you for life!” The senior partner at Yunhe chimed in, echoing Liang Shuang’s confidence.

From the moment they had spoken to Shen Fei over the phone, Liang Shuang and her team had already made a firm decision to repay his kindness.

As a small, up-and-coming firm with little reputation, their growth trajectory would be long and arduous without external support. Xinyue Group, however, could collaborate with any top-tier law firm with ease. For Shen Fei to choose Yunhe was an unprecedented opportunity.

The best way to repay him in the short term was to ensure that his company never lost a case.

Seeing the resolute promises from Liang Shuang and the Yunhe team, Shen Fei couldn’t help but feel surprised.

“Hm? What’s all this?” Shen Fei laughed.

“President Shen, we’re giving you our word and a guarantee for Xinyue Group! Rest assured, you can rely on us completely!” Liang Shuang declared.

“I understand, but isn’t this guarantee a bit unfair to you? After all, lawsuits are unpredictable—you win some, you lose some. If you lose, promising free lifetime services to Xinyue Group…” Shen Fei began, only to be interrupted by Yunhe’s senior partner.

“President Shen, as we said, this promise only stands if the facts are on your side. If Xinyue Group doesn’t have a legitimate case, we wouldn’t dare make such guarantees, even if you offered us a greater platform. But if justice is on our side, we’re confident in our abilities. If we lose, it simply means we weren’t good enough!” The senior partner smiled before continuing.

“Besides, President Shen, this is because you gave Yunhe Law Firm an opportunity. We have no other way to repay your trust but to protect Xinyue Group in court. If we fail, we wouldn’t even have the face to discuss compensation with you!”

Hearing this, Shen Fei was stunned.

In his previous life, Yunhe Law Firm had been nearly invincible, with a 98% win rate that made it a legend in the legal world. Even now, though still emerging, their potential was undeniable. All they needed was room to grow.

Shen Fei shook his head with a smile and said, “I’m sure you understand my situation. No matter how low-key I try to be, there will always be people who see me as a threat. Xinyue Group will only grow larger in the future, and the lawsuits—big and small—will only increase. If you can beat Tencent Corporation this time, it’ll be a huge confidence boost, not just for me but for you as well.”

He paused and waved his hand.

“But talking about this now is a bit premature. Even if you lose, I wouldn’t hold you to this lifetime guarantee!”

After the important matters were settled, Jiang Tiancheng smirked at Liang Shuang.

“Lawyer Liang, can you offer the same guarantee to me and Yuantai?”

“Absolutely not!” Liang Shuang refused outright.

Though she appreciated Jiang Tiancheng and Hu Yuantai for helping facilitate their cooperation with Xinyue Group, Jiang Tiancheng’s cheeky demeanor made her reluctant to express any gratitude. In fact, she even found it slightly annoying.

“Fine, fine. Even in a family, business is business!” Jiang Tiancheng replied cheerfully, unfazed.

Liang Shuang only rolled her eyes at him.

“All right, now that the contract is signed, everyone can return to their work. If there’s anything else we need to coordinate, we’ll reach out to you,” Shen Fei said politely.

The Yunhe Law Firm team nodded in agreement.

Just as everyone was leaving the meeting room, a staff member from Xinyue Group’s legal department came running over.

“President Shen, President Han, bad news! Our Yuexin product line has been sued!”

—————- END —————-

Chapter 402: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey!

Everyone froze when they heard the news.

The Yuexin series was being sued?

What was going on?

“Explain it slowly,” Shen Fei said calmly.

“President Shen, here’s the situation: a third-tier domestic brand, Yuefuxinmao, is suing our Yuexin series. They claim we plagiarized their idea, and the name of our scar-removal ointment infringes on their reputation since they have a product called ‘Scar-Removal Liquid.’ They’re demanding a public apology and for us to rename our product line immediately, or they’ll sue us for trademark infringement,” explained the legal department employee.

Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.

What on earth was Yuefuxinmao?

A third-tier brand—none of them had even heard of it!

And comparing their product to the scar-removal ointment? The effectiveness probably wasn’t even close. If anything, they should be thanking the ointment for generating buzz!

Instead of showing gratitude, they were now turning around and trying to cause trouble?

“I’m not surprised. The day the scar-removal ointment launched, I knew something like this would happen,” Shen Fei said with a smirk.

“President Shen, why would they do this?” Han Xinyan frowned.

“Why? The reason is simple. Before the ointment was released, their products—while ineffective—were still purchased by consumers who were swayed by influencer promotions. There wasn’t any strong competition in the market. But once our scar-removal ointment appeared, it disrupted everything. All skincare brands are feeling the impact. Brands like Yuefuxinmao can’t accept this reality, so this lawsuit is nothing more than a premeditated attempt to threaten and warn us,” Shen Fei explained calmly.

“How should we respond?” Han Xinyan asked.

“Respond? We followed all legal procedures, and everything has been officially approved. There’s no way we’re backing down. Since they want a fight, we’ll fight to the end,” Shen Fei said firmly.

He then turned to the lawyers from Yunhe Law Firm.

“Gentlemen, I trust the situation is clear. The case itself isn’t particularly big, but since it involves Xinyue Group, it’s no small matter. You know what to do, right?”

“Rest assured, President Shen. Leave this matter to us. If we can’t handle it perfectly, then Yunhe Law Firm’s abilities would deserve to be questioned,” Liang Jing said with a faint smile.

“Good. I’ll leave it to you, then. Consider this your opening act after relocating to Shenzhen,” Shen Fei said confidently.

“President Shen, we’ll begin working on it right away and keep you updated on the progress,” Liang Shuang replied seriously.

“Thank you for your hard work!” Shen Fei said.

“No need to thank us, President Shen. This is our job.”

With that, Liang Shuang and the partners from Yunhe Law Firm quickly left.

Once they were gone, Han Xinyan turned to Shen Fei.

“Shen Fei, are we really not going to get involved at all? We’re leaving everything to Yunhe Law Firm?”

“Let the lawsuit be handled by Yunhe. But since Yuefuxinmao is pulling this stunt to disgust us, we’re not going to let them off so easily. Go tell Lin Tianzhen to fight fire with fire. We’ll deal with them accordingly and let the show begin,” Shen Fei said with a sharp glint in his eyes.

“Huh? You mean…” Han Xinyan gasped.

“We need to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. If we let Yuefuxinmao off easily, others will think we’re pushovers, and we’ll face even more trouble in the future. This time, not only will we fight back with full force, but we’ll also send a clear message to the industry—don’t mess with us!” Shen Fei stated concisely.

Han Xinyan nodded quickly. “Got it. I’ll handle it right away!”

“Good. Go ahead!”

Shen Fei didn’t stop her.

As Han Xinyan left, Jiang Tiancheng, who had been eager to speak, was cut off by Shen Fei’s smile.

“You must be hungry after waiting all morning. Let’s grab something to eat?” Shen Fei said casually.

“Huh?” Jiang Tiancheng was momentarily stunned.

“Come on. Let’s check out our company cafeteria. The chef I hired costs tens of thousands per month,” Shen Fei said with a grin as he headed for the elevator.

Jiang Tiancheng and Hu Yuantai exchanged looks before hurrying to follow him.

Today, they hadn’t come to Xinyue Group just to finalize the partnership with Yunhe Law Firm. They also needed to discuss international crude oil developments with Shen Fei.

Time was of the essence.

Following the recent bombing of the Middle East by a certain country, the region had begun retaliating. Earlier this morning, the Middle Eastern Prime Minister held a press conference, vowing to exact revenge for the atrocities and issuing a death bounty for senior leaders of the offending nation.

Though no actual retaliation had occurred yet, global crude oil prices had skyrocketed overnight, increasing by 20% and showing signs of further growth.

The situation clearly indicated that crude oil prices would continue to surge.

The urgency prompted Hu Yuantai and Jiang Tiancheng to rush to Xinyue Group early in the morning.

—

In the Cafeteria

An array of exquisite dishes was placed before them, their aroma mouthwatering.

“Is it good?” Shen Fei asked.

“Brother Fei, no joke, this food is on par with what a Michelin-starred chef would serve! I might just hire a top chef myself after this,” Jiang Tiancheng praised.

“To get employees to work well, you have to take care of their needs first. Good food and drinks are part of that. When employees feel cared for, they’ll be more motivated to work hard,” Shen Fei said with a faint smile before raising an eyebrow.

“But you didn’t just come here today to finalize the contract with Yunhe Law Firm, did you?”

“Cough… Brother Fei, you’re sharp as always,” Jiang Tiancheng coughed awkwardly.

“Brother Fei, of course, the Yunhe contract wasn’t our main reason for coming!” Hu Yuantai interjected, giving Jiang Tiancheng a glare before continuing.

“The main reason is to hear your thoughts on the international situation between the Middle East and that country. Right now, the Middle East has declared retaliation and placed a multi-million dollar bounty on their leaders. I think a conflict is inevitable!”

Shen Fei, however, crossed his arms and smiled at Hu Yuantai.

“So, what’s your point?”

—————- END —————-

Chapter 403: This Temptation Is Too Great!

“So?”

Seeing Shen Fei remain calm and composed even after hearing about the tense international situation between the Middle East and the Ugly Nation (referring to a country derogatorily), Hu Yuantai hesitated for a moment before quickly continuing,

“Brother Fei, with the current tensions between the Middle East and the Ugly Nation, many investors are eyeing international crude oil. Hardly anyone is selling, and as a result, the oil futures market is extremely tight, with prices skyrocketing. Right now, international oil prices are still in the thirty-dollar range but have already been driven up to forty dollars. Given the current momentum, it might climb even higher. This is a huge opportunity to make big money!”

“Hmm, and what exactly are you trying to say?” Shen Fei asked sharply after listening to Hu Yuantai’s analysis.

Hu Yuantai took a deep breath and stated directly,

“It’s like this, Brother Fei. You previously predicted that oil prices would only rise by sixty points, but the situation has intensified. The Ugly Nation even launched several bombs into the Middle East, injuring many people and even killing a Middle Eastern officer. Given this, I think the oil price increase won’t stop at sixty points… A hundred dollars per barrel might be achievable!”

Shen Fei immediately interrupted Hu Yuantai with a laugh.

“So, you came here today to ask if international oil prices will hit one hundred dollars per barrel? Are you hoping for a definite answer?”

“Yes! Brother Fei, the temptation is just too great! At one hundred dollars per barrel, how much profit would we make based on our initial investments? Plus, many other investors are thinking the same way I do!” Hu Yuantai said, voicing his true purpose.

Unexpectedly, Shen Fei chuckled at these words.

“Yuantai, I understand—it sounds incredibly tempting! But I’ll tell you now: oil prices will only rise sixty points! As for a hundred dollars per barrel? It’s impossible.”

“Brother Fei, I…”

Hearing Shen Fei’s firm stance, Hu Yuantai didn’t know how to respond. That wasn’t the answer he had been hoping for.

Given the escalating tension between the Middle East and the Ugly Nation—and the fact that the Middle East had already announced plans to retaliate—it seemed obvious to him that oil prices would surge to one hundred dollars per barrel.

“Yuantai, I know you and other investors firmly believe that oil will hit one hundred dollars per barrel because you think the Middle East and the Ugly Nation will fight to the bitter end. But have you considered it from the Ugly Nation’s perspective? What if the Ugly Nation backs down? If they stop, will oil prices still rise?”

Seeing Hu Yuantai’s stubbornness, Shen Fei began to explain patiently. After a pause, he continued,

“Whether it’s at the bar the other day or here today, I need to tell you this: the scenario you’re imagining will not happen. The current tensions between those two countries will not escalate into full-scale war. If they did, both sides would suffer greatly. That outcome benefits no one!”

Jiang Tiancheng, who had been listening on the side, frowned and interjected,

“Brother Fei, if that’s the case, why did the Ugly Nation provoke the war in the first place? Not only did they bomb the Middle East and kill people, but the Middle East also declared its intent to retaliate. If the Middle East doesn’t fight back, will their citizens accept that? This feels like a joke!”

Hu Yuantai nodded in agreement.

“Yes, but no one can answer that question,” Shen Fei replied casually. “The Ugly Nation has always been reckless when it comes to stirring up trouble. As for the Middle East, even if their people are unhappy, the leaders aren’t stupid. They know the consequences of war. If given a way out, both nations will take it.”

“What’s the point then? Are they just trying to manipulate oil prices?” Jiang Tiancheng scoffed.

“Who knows? Look at the Ugly Nation’s history—they’ve always been troublemakers. Do they care about consequences? Frankly, their actions match their reputation perfectly,” Shen Fei said sarcastically.

“So, Brother Fei, you’re saying the two nations won’t fight for long?” Hu Yuantai asked, stunned.

He was confused but still clung to his original thoughts. Given the current situation, was there really a chance for either nation to back down?

The Middle East had already signaled retaliation, and its citizens fully supported it. Could they just accept defeat? And would the Ugly Nation, facing such provocation, really let things go quietly?

Thinking through all this, Hu Yuantai found it hard to believe a peaceful resolution was possible.

“Yes, they won’t fight for long. Both sides are waiting for the right opportunity to de-escalate. Once they find it, they’ll each back off,” Shen Fei replied firmly.

“And what if the Middle East doesn’t want to back down? Would the Ugly Nation agree to that?” Hu Yuantai persisted.

“What choice do they have? What would the Ugly Nation gain by prolonging the standoff? Haven’t they suffered enough losses in the Middle East over the years? They may want the Middle East to surrender, but that’s impossible,” Shen Fei said mockingly.

“The Ugly Nation’s self-serving antics might backfire on them—what a bunch of lunatics!” Hu Yuantai muttered, finally beginning to waver.

“Exactly. Over the years, they’ve done plenty of disgraceful things. This situation only adds to their shame,” Shen Fei said with a cold smile.

Seeing Hu Yuantai fall silent, Shen Fei raised an eyebrow and shifted the conversation.

“Yuantai, you and Tiancheng came to see me this early just to hear me confirm a hundred-dollar oil price? Isn’t sixty points enough for you anymore?”

—————- END —————-

Chapter 404: Can They Win?

After Shen Fei saw through Hu Yuantai’s thoughts, Hu Yuantai didn’t hesitate and directly nodded in agreement.

“Fei Ge, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but the current situation is tense. I really don’t believe they will end things so hastily! I think things will only escalate between them…”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei’s expression darkened.

If he weren’t a reborn person, he would have thought the same as Hu Yuantai.

After all, in his previous life, when the Ugly Country launched an attack and the Middle East sent out a retaliatory signal, everyone believed that war between the two countries was imminent. Even the military analysis teams from various nations thought they would clash!

But in the end, the Ugly Country suddenly found some random excuse and withdrew.

Now, hearing Hu Yuantai’s insistence, Shen Fei lost the desire to continue persuading him.

He knew that once Hu Yuantai had made up his mind, he was the type who would only turn back when hitting a wall.

If Hu Yuantai really wanted to continue gambling, Shen Fei would just go along with his thinking.

Regardless of what happened, the international oil price rising by 60% was already a certainty. Even if Hu Yuantai chose to wait, when the withdrawal came, the losses wouldn’t be significant.

“Alright, I won’t persuade you anymore! Yuantai, if you think that in the current trend, international oil will rise to $100 per barrel, then just keep waiting! I’m only relying on my speculation, and whether it’s accurate or not, I don’t know!” Shen Fei said lightly.

“Fei Ge, so are you going to continue waiting too? Or just pull out after the 60% rise?” Jiang Tiancheng asked with a frown.

“Mm? I’ll go with the latter! When the price surges by 60%, Yuantai, you can just withdraw my portion!” Shen Fei replied calmly.

“Fei Ge, although you’ve been very clear, I still want to ask you again—do you really think the two countries won’t go to war?”

Jiang Tiancheng hesitated for a moment but gritted his teeth and asked again.

He had invested 10 billion, and at 60%, he’d make 6 billion in profit. But if the situation developed as Hu Yuantai had analyzed, he’d definitely make over 10 billion.

However, with the current tension, if oil futures were sold, they would immediately be bought up.

If they sold and then saw the oil market booming, trying to re-enter would become increasingly difficult.

Getting another share of the pie would be nearly impossible.

Now, the choices for the three of them were basically two:

Like Shen Fei, wait for the 60% surge, then withdraw!

Or wait and see if it reaches $100 per barrel…

After all, considering the current situation, the speculation that the price would rise to $100 seemed to have too much strength behind it!

“Mm!” Shen Fei nodded, not willing to say more.

He had said all that needed to be said, and whether they believed it was up to them.

“Alright!”

Jiang Tiancheng took a deep breath and looked at Hu Yuantai.

Hu Yuantai lowered his head, lost in his thoughts.

“If you two want to continue waiting, that’s fine! But as for my portion, once it hits a 60% increase, at around $50+ per barrel, just sell it for me!” Shen Fei said calmly.

“Alright, Fei Ge!” Hu Yuantai agreed repeatedly.

The discussion about the growth trend of international oil ended with their meal as they finished their food.

The three of them laughed as they left the restaurant.

“Fei Ge, this new mobile game ‘Tian Jue’ is quite good! As a major shareholder, are you planning to change the current dominance of Tencent Company in the gaming industry?”

Once outside, Jiang Tiancheng suddenly asked with confusion.

“Actually, in any industry, there should be a variety of voices! Tencent Company dominating the gaming industry… I think it’s time to bring in some fresh blood!” Shen Fei smiled playfully.

“However, Fei Ge, you really need to be prepared! The way Tencent Company became dominant in the gaming industry, using methods like plagiarism and shameless practices, is well-known! Many new games that show even a bit of promise are quickly extinguished by Tencent Company…”

Hu Yuantai tilted his head slightly and continued,

“I think ‘Tian Jue’ is already threatening Tencent’s position as the king of the gaming industry. They will probably start using their old tactics again, so you need to be careful and not let them defeat you!”

“I’ve already thought of this! But their methods won’t work on me! If they want to plagiarize, let them! Whether they can create a better game depends on their ability! However, if they infringe on our game’s patents, that’s when Lawyer Liang and Yunhe Law Firm will get involved! This could give them a chance to clash with Tencent’s legal department!” Shen Fei said with deep meaning.

However, Jiang Tiancheng furrowed his brows when he heard this.

“Fei Ge, from what you’re saying, you really plan to leave everything to Lawyer Liang and Yunhe Law Firm? Can they win?”

That’s right, from the beginning, Jiang Tiancheng thought Shen Fei hired Liang Shuang and Yunhe Law Firm because of him. But now, after hearing Shen Fei’s words, it seemed like Shen Fei fully trusted their capabilities!

But how could this make sense?

Not to mention that the two had never worked together, Yunhe Law Firm had only been established for a few years—could they really go up against the old foxes at Tencent Company?

“What? They’re the lawyers and law firm I hired; can I not entrust this matter to them? Am I really that big of a spender in your eyes?” Shen Fei teased, seeing Jiang Tiancheng’s anxiousness.

“No, no! Fei Ge, it’s just that Liang Shuang has only been doing this for a few years… Wouldn’t it be too much pressure for her to handle this?” Jiang Tiancheng fumbled.

Seeing Jiang Tiancheng’s concern, Shen Fei understood. So, it was all because of his worry for Liang Shuang!

“If Lawyer Liang isn’t worried, why are you fretting? Alright, we’ve eaten and finished talking. You should go do what you need to do!” Shen Fei said impatiently.

While Shen Fei, Jiang Tiancheng, and Hu Yuantai were discussing matters, over at the Xin Yue Group’s branding department…

After hearing that the company had been sued by a third-tier brand and was asked for an apology, Lin Tianzhen immediately began her counterattack.

She made the news public about the lawsuit against the Yuexin series and hired a large number of internet trolls to push the matter to the trending topics list.

Then, she instructed the trolls to start attacking the “Scar Healing” brand under the Yufuxinmiao brand online…

This was Lin Tianzhen’s first step in retaliation.

Would it create hype for the other side?

Lin Tianzhen wasn’t worried about this.

Because the Scar Healing ointment was so effective that it was impossible to replace.

Seeing Han Xinyan busy in the office, Shen Fei briefly spoke and was about to leave.

Suddenly, his phone rang—it was a call from Hu Fei’er!

—————- END —————-

Chapter 405: I Won’t Join the Fun!

“Mr. Hu, why did you suddenly call me?” Shen Fei asked calmly.

“Boss, regarding the ‘Misu’ chip development project, I brought it to the company and had our senior engineers review it. After reading the contents and your notes, they all believe the project from the Shenzhen Research Institute is highly feasible. Once developed successfully, it will elevate our country’s chip technology to a new level!” came Hu Fei’er’s voice through the phone.

Shen Fei wasn’t surprised by this response.

However, before he could speak, Hu Fei’er laughed again.

“Mr. Shen, after seeing your comments, those engineers are all eager to meet the person who wrote them, saying they want to learn from them!”

Recalling the astonished expressions of those senior engineers after reading the comments on the project proposal, Hu Fei’er still found it unbelievable.

These engineers, all highly confident and prideful, were completely taken aback when they saw Shen Fei’s notes. They became excited and enthusiastic, shedding their usual arrogance.

Though Hu Fei’er understood the importance of those notes, she was still stunned by how flustered the engineers were.

This reflected that Shen Fei wasn’t as simple as he appeared.

On the other side, Shen Fei stood frozen after hearing Hu Fei’er’s words.

“Learn from me?”

Wasn’t this a joke?

What could he possibly discuss with those senior engineers?

Though in his previous life, he had made achievements in many fields and had assets in the billions, he had never ventured into chip technology.

The content he wrote was merely a reproduction of his memories from his past life!

If he actually tried to discuss with those experts in the field, he would likely fall into an embarrassing situation after just a few words!

And even though he had written notes on the proposal, he wasn’t equipped to give any professional explanations regarding the specialized terms, let alone discuss chip development, having never studied books on the topic.

That was why, when he handed the proposal to Hu Fei’er, he repeatedly instructed her to keep his involvement a secret.

“Mr. Hu, I told you from the start, this must remain confidential, and you shouldn’t mention me! As for the chip project, I’m just an observer! If we’re being honest, I can’t offer any grand theories!” Shen Fei said frankly.

“Mr. Shen, you’re being too modest! Perhaps you haven’t conducted in-depth research in chips, but the comments and insights you’ve written have left many professional engineers feeling inferior! Even the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences praised your notes!” Hu Fei’er complimented without hesitation.

Shen Fei was stunned upon hearing this.

“The president? Of the Chinese Academy of Sciences?”

“Yes, Mr. Shen, I thought that in addition to having our engineers study the proposal carefully, we should also let a more experienced person review it. Without informing you, I invited a president who has worked in the chip field for many years to take a look! After reading the notes, he praised it, saying that China’s chip technology has hope! He was so eager to meet the person who wrote the comments, but don’t worry, I didn’t tell him it was you!” Hu Fei’er explained.

“So you called me because you want me to meet with the old president?” Shen Fei asked, confused.

“Of course not! Mr. Shen, I only mentioned it because you asked! Whether to meet or not depends on your decision!” Hu Fei’er quickly clarified.

Shen Fei then politely declined.

“Mr. Hu, I’m not as professional as you, so I’ll stay out of this.”

Hearing Shen Fei’s response, Hu Fei’er wasn’t surprised.

She paused for a moment before changing the subject.

“Alright, Mr. Shen, the main reason for this call is to inform you that the ‘Misu’ project has been unanimously approved here. I’ve already bought the tickets, and I’ll be flying to Shenzhen this morning to discuss cooperation with the Shenzhen Research Institute. Do you want to join me?”

“As for the cooperation discussion, you can handle it yourself! I’ll pass on that. But if you want to go for a meal or something, that’s fine!” Shen Fei smiled lightly.

Upon hearing this, Hu Fei’er immediately shook her head.

What if, during dinner, Shen Fei brought out that brat Hu Yuantai?

If they acted awkwardly, Shen Fei would surely notice!

“Mr. Shen, I’d rather skip the meal! Time is tight, and after the discussion with the Shenzhen Research Institute, I’ll probably have to head back immediately. There’s still a lot to handle here in Beijing!” Hu Fei’er responded.

Shen Fei, unaware of the subtle change in her tone, casually replied, “Alright, next time then!”

“However, Mr. Shen, you really don’t want to go with me to the Shenzhen Research Institute?”

“This is your responsibility from now on. As long as you go, that’s enough! As for me, it’s unnecessary!” Shen Fei replied calmly.

“Understood!” Hu Fei’er nodded.

Once the call ended, Hu Fei’er didn’t bring up anything regarding Xie Mingjun or advise Shen Fei to be cautious during this period.

She still had some confidence in herself and the Hu family behind her.

If it were someone else, Xie Mingjun would likely not tolerate the humiliation and would retaliate fiercely.

But she was from the Hu family, and in terms of family power, the Hu family was still stronger than the Xie family, and they weren’t something Xie Mingjun could provoke.

Thinking of Xie Mingjun, Hu Fei’er couldn’t help but frown.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t figure it out, but the entire Xie family, and even the people in Beijing, couldn’t understand how such a waste could come from the Xie family!

Look at Xie Hongyi and Yun Xue, they were elites in the Xie family, so how did they end up with such a spoiled son?

Though Beijing had many rich second-generation heirs, once those people became serious, they would stand out for their intelligence or emotional intelligence, but Xie Mingjun was an exception. He lacked both, and even did foolish things that ordinary people would laugh at. Yet he was proud of it.

Because of Xie Mingjun, the Xie family had been mocked by many wealthy families, and Xie Mingjun himself had become a laughing stock.

Truthfully, without the protection of the Xie family, Xie Mingjun would have long been thrown in jail.

And yet, he still dared to target her, Hu Fei’er? He must be dreaming!

No matter how she thought about it, Hu Fei’er couldn’t make sense of it.

After all, with Xie Hongyi’s abilities, his son should have been a young man of the caliber of Shen Fei!
