Run into the world

Chapter 376 Eat before the battle

It was ugly. All the members of the Thirteen Pillars family who were listening to the report at the Academy of Sciences had ugly faces.

According to the original plan, Shen Wuming had to make a choice after finishing the report. Of course, there would be no written regulations, but it was the most consistent approach.

At this stage, each company can show their sincerity and strive to recruit Shen Wuming as a partner. Under normal circumstances, Shen Wuming, as the inventor of the air-retaining stone technology, will receive a [-]% dividend in the future.

Of course, don’t think that this [-]% is very small. In fact, this is still a sign of respect for the scientists. If it were anyone else, even [-]% would be considered a great mercy on their part.

It's just that he is a little different from those scientists in the past. Shen Wuming walked all the way from Jinghai County to the capital, with wisdom and strength indispensable, and the Shen family is actually not short of money. What each family can give Shen Wuming is nothing more than power or people.

At this time, the Chu family actually knew something about Chu Yiwei and Shen Wuming. After all, there were Qian Xiaoguang and Chu Yihan hiding in the dark beside Chu Yiwei at that time.

The Chu family doesn't pay much attention to the problem of "puppy love" among women in the family. After all, who hasn't been ridiculously young? Just like what Duan Muxiang once said, those in the family will not stop you from falling in love, but they will stop you from getting married.

The same is true for the Chu family. They weighed Shen Wuming's background a little and excluded him from the list of people who could marry with the Chu family. Even though they knew that if they paid Chu Yiwei, they would definitely get the Qi-retaining stone, but their judgment was to retain the Qi-retaining stone. Shi's interests are not worth paying for a legitimate daughter of the Chu family.

Under the premise that they cannot use threats, facing a guy like Shen Wuming who wants nothing, they seem to have no choice but to play some emotional cards. This is why Hou Guangming approached Duan Muxiang in the first place.

After all, they also knew that this brother-in-law took good care of Shen Wuming, but now it seemed that the problem was getting bigger!

No matter how good the air-retaining stone is, no matter how significant it is, it must be a technology that cannot make large-scale profits in the short term. The rise of a family is bloody and swift. If it is slow and slow, it will easily be swallowed up by others, and then all the benefits will belong to others.

But Duanmuxiang's Duanmu satin is different. This material has mature technology and can be put into production immediately, thereby improving the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Combat power can easily be transformed into wealth and power in this chaotic world. Therefore, to them, the significance of this Duanmu satin is far more important than the air stone!

But the problem is that what they did before has already harmed Duanmuxiang, and it is already difficult to undo it. In contrast to them, the Peng family actually extended a helping hand to the Shen family first, thus gaining Duanmu Xiang's favor and becoming a partner of Duanmu Silk.

The previous ‘wait-and-see’, ‘test’ and ‘safety of sitting on the fishing platform’ turned into a joke at this moment.

The most disgusting thing is that you have already cooperated with the Peng family, why do you need to go on stage to give a report? Who the hell are you jealous of? Oh, you are jealous of us!

Who gave you the courage? How dare you challenge all the Thirteen Pillars families!

The scientists in the front row were okay. They thought Duanmuxiang was fooling around at first, but as the report progressed, they discovered that Duanmuxiang had very profound knowledge in Gu Dao and cultivation, and soon regarded him as one of their own. .

But there are many people who feel insulted and will stand up and say bad words as soon as they slap the handrail...

Boom, Duan Muxiang's algorithm was turned on again, and those people sat down again decisively. Humph, we are from a big family, so we won’t be so rude by swearing!
The feeling that made everyone sweat profusely just now came back, like a baby being left out in the cold wind, and it felt so cold.

Duan Muxiang scanned the audience lightly. It was not that the Thirteen Pillars family did not have masters, nor did it not have people with equal cultivation levels, but either they had not developed yet, or they had already sent out the people who produced the Cursed Earth Blood Realm. The so-called master here is really not worth mentioning. It is so unbearable just to be enveloped by his power.

Duan Muxiang sighed secretly and concluded, "My report is over, does anyone else have any questions? If you have questions, please raise your hand!" Increase the momentum output...

"No problem, right? Well, see you all!"

Duan Muxiang straightened her collar, nodded slightly to the scientists in the front row, and then left with her head held high.

Haha, I showed off my face this time!

"Where is my brother?" Shen Zhaodi looked at the high-spirited Duan Muxiang and asked.

The latter was stunned, dizzy, and forgot about him because of his pretense!
Turning around, I saw Shen Wuming coming out with a resentful look on his face, "Brother-in-law, you didn't even tell me. You thought you were protecting me all the way, but you ended up trying to steal the spotlight!"

Duan Muxiang laughed and hugged Shen Wuming's shoulders, "That's just a small difference in details. Men don't need to worry about these. Let's go, it's completely safe now, let's go have a good meal!"

Fu Qingmiao only thought it was funny, but Shen Zhaodi next to her was full of gossip and pestered Shen Wuming to tell her what happened.

The atmosphere relaxed all of a sudden. Maybe she was always tense all the way. Shen Zhaodi talked a lot now. She was obsessed with this and that.

She has long been used to Shen Zhaodi's lively Duanmuxiang, but she usually doesn't pay attention to it, but now she can clearly analyze whether she is stressed or not.

By the way...this guy has such a big heart, he is so happy no matter how stressed he is! "Brother Duanmu, hahaha, wait a moment. It's a rare time for you to come to the capital, so let me show my friendship as a landlord."

Hou Guangming waved from a distance, and then ran up with Qinggong, as if he was afraid of losing them by accident.

Duan Muxiang was a little speechless. She regretted that she didn't have a tea cup in her hand, otherwise she would have to hold it up and send the guests away.

"Introduction, this is my wife, Zhong Tianai."

The dignified woman Duan Muxiang had seen in the venue was following Hou Guangming. She smiled and stretched out her hand towards Duan Muxiang, with a hint of elegance in her smile.

Duan Muxiang shook hands with Zhong Tianai, but turned to Shen Zhaodi and joked, "See, this is the elegant, intellectual and beautiful persona that your sister often wants you to create. You should work hard in this direction from now on!" "

Zhong Tianai was stunned for a moment, a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes, but Duan Muxiang did not try to capture her emotions, and just laughed and said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you set up a character, I just want to teach my sister-in-law a lesson. "

Shen Zhaodi looked at him with disgust, "Brother-in-law, you are despicable!"

Duan Muxiang laughed, as if acquiescing, and said to Hou Guangming: "Old Hou, we happen to be going to dinner too, so it would be great if you want to treat us."

Hou Guangming led the way with a smile, as if he wanted to make a good friend. Duan Muxiang accompanied him and chatted wordlessly, but his eyes glanced behind him.

Do Fu Qingmiao and Zhong Tianai know each other?
They did know each other. At this time, Fu Qingmiao and Zhong Tianai almost slowed down side by side. They didn't start talking to each other until they confirmed that the man in front could not hear them.

"Your decision makes my brother very sad." Zhong Tianai was the first to speak.

Fu Qingmiao sighed leisurely: "Your brother's move of coming to propose marriage without consulting me also makes me very sad."

Zhong Tianai paused for a moment and apologized, "He is indeed a little careless about this, but... you can be considered childhood sweethearts. Don't you like my brother?"

Fu Qingmiao's eyes fell on Duan Muxiang in front of her, and she found that he was peeking secretly from time to time. She couldn't help but said happily: "There are many people who like me, and there are also many who are my childhood sweethearts, and there are even quite a few who are both. , but among these people, only your brother came to propose marriage without consulting me."

Zhong Tianai was a little speechless, with a look of 'you've had enough', "Don't go back and forth, isn't that the point? You still don't like my brother, otherwise you wouldn't be angry when you see the person you like come to your door. !”

"Different."

"What's the difference?"

"Some people will happily ignore other problems when their sweetheart comes to their door. But for some people, this is very important!"

Zhong Tianai was speechless. In her opinion, this was simply an excuse made by the other party. She took a deep breath and her tone was a little cold, "Indeed, you have learned the best from the family education since childhood. I remember that you are very I have long said that love is just a condiment for power. I remember when the elders first heard you say this, they praised you for being mature and promising. Why do you do such a messy thing now? "

Fu Qingmiao raised her head and agreed, smiling: "I did say this, but it was actually a test."

"Testing?" Zhong Tianai didn't understand at all. How old was he at that time? What to test, and who to test?
"It's just to test the thoughts of the people in each family, and also to test who I can rely on when I grow up."

Zhong Tianai was a little confused, "Then what was the result of your test?"

"The test results...the elders who praise me for my maturity are all untrustworthy, and the children who are envious and jealous of me are also untrustworthy."

Zhong Tianai was silent. She remembered that she was very envious of Fu Qingmiao for being praised...

Just listen to Fu Qingmiao say again: "Those who agree that love is a modifier of power, they have never obtained true love. So those are just ulterior words used by those in power to deceive the common people at the bottom from their own standpoint."

Zhong Tianai's mouth twitched slightly, do you want to listen to what you are saying? Didn't you say this in the first place?
"Society is connected, and things that have no connection on the surface are actually internally connected. Just like social structure and love... Everyone yearns for freedom, but freedom is not unbridled indulgence, nor is it a rush downward. Love is the establishment of On the premise of equality and respect for each other's freedom. But if the social structure becomes polarized, then this kind of love will become rare. Those who are unwilling to give up power cannot get love themselves, and they will not allow others to get it. . They will erase people’s yearning for love and instill the ridiculous logic that ‘with money and power, love will naturally come’.”

Zhong Tianai opened his mouth and said amusedly: "I didn't expect that the people who were the first to be enlightened and closest to the center of power would pursue love at this time! Isn't this contrary to mainstream values? Isn't it all now? Are you talking about starting a career?"

"That's just because they can't meet the right person! Haven't you heard that sentence? Human beings can't escape the law of true fragrance!"
