Chi Ningbei scoffed, "You should worry about your family first."

To be honest, if these men caught someone doing something wrong, they'd probably try to crush them to death.

If someone really crosses the line, it would be best to kick them out of the game.

But Tang Tang clearly had excellent taste in men; no matter how much she flirted and played around, none of these men wanted to give her up.

Just because they can't find fault with others doesn't mean that this group of people get along harmoniously.

The domestic market is only so big, and these people are all the chosen ones. Now, with Tang Tang as the center, they are all gathered in China, which is like raising a venomous insect.

Chi Ningbei looked at Song Mu with a bit of regret. If only this person were blindly filial, it would be so much better. Unfortunately, Song Mu was clearly very clear-headed and reacted very quickly.

"I cannot give Chairman Chi an answer regarding the cooperation at the moment," Song Mu said calmly, "but the Song family will not cooperate with the Xu family."

Chi Ningbei said, "Is that so? But as far as I know, Mr. Song..."

Before Chi Ningbei could finish speaking, Song Mu said directly, "My father is my father, and I am me. Even if the Song family and the Xu family really cooperate, I will not interfere in anything during the cooperation period."

He, Song Mu, was not a good-for-nothing who lived off his family's wealth and wasted his time. His parents' affection was not a shackle binding his choices, nor was he a tool to sacrifice for his family.

Miss Xu, Miss Song, Miss Jiang, Miss He... no matter what they are or which family they come from, they have absolutely nothing to do with Song Mu, and will never be involved with him.

Song Mu didn't say much, but he understood things clearly.

Regardless of what tricks Chi Ningbei was up to, he was right about one thing.

The Chi Group is indeed the best partner.

Chi Ningbei finished his glass of red wine in one gulp. Having said what he had to say, he didn't want to say a few more words to his rival and turned to leave, which was extremely impolite.

Song Mu didn't care about any of that. He wasn't a particularly outgoing person to begin with, and he believed in getting things done. Since Tang Tang wasn't here, and he had reached a seemingly ambiguous cooperation agreement with Chi Ningbei, Song Mu simply found a quiet place and turned on his computer.

……

"Tang Yu," Tang Yu said with a meaningful smile, shaking hands with Edwin, whose face was somewhat indifferent. "Professor Sterling? My master mentioned your laboratory to me."

Edwin shook hands with Tang Yu politely, and then they quickly parted ways, clearly neither of them really wanted to have any contact with the other.

To be honest, Tang Yu and Edwin are clearly in the same field, but their temperaments are completely different.

Tang Yu always wore a smile that held a certain depth, yet his face also resembled that of a refined and gentle gentleman, creating a sense of incongruity that always made people wary.

Edwin, on the other hand, was also handsome, but his gray eyes gave him a cold and aloof air, an understated arrogance that kept people at a distance.

It's fair to say that these two people are completely different types, and the fact that they are standing together at this moment shows that they are not friendly to each other at all.

Tang Yu comes from the system, and it can be said that his intelligence and research ability are at the peak level that humans can currently achieve.

What's terrifying is that Edwin, as a completely natural human being, possesses an intelligence and academic ability almost on par with Tang Yu.

Although they are not in the same field, the two authorities are clearly very, very at odds with each other.

But neither of them moved, nor did they retreat.

Tang Yu was always adept at feigning compliance, and wore a very obvious official smile on his face.

Edwin did initially intend to leave because he didn't want to waste his time there.

But Tang Yu's words made Edwin remain motionless.

"Master?" He looked at Tang Yu, his tone hesitant and complicated. "Is that what you call her?"

Edwin had indeed heard of Tang Yu long ago.

He knew that this unparalleled research genius was completely loyal to Tang Tang. And Tang Tang also had an extraordinary level of trust in him.

But this strange trust relationship always puzzled Edwin.

Why is that? What is it that makes them trust each other so much?

Edwin keenly sensed that this trust was completely different from the feelings he had for Tang Tang.

It's strange, and hard to understand.

Just like how the US government recruits talent, it either uses money and status or threats; things like emotions are the least reliable.

But Tang Tang is completely different.

Edwin knew from the beginning that the fickle girl only saw him as scenery to enjoy along the way; she might like him, but there was absolutely no trust in him.

She is a natural-born leader and an ambitious person; it is far too dangerous to place your trust in such a person.

But Edwin saw in her and Tang Yu the kind of trust he could never obtain.

This was something Edwin couldn't understand, and it aroused both longing and apprehension in him.

Why?

He is also a world-class scientist, so why does she only trust Tang Yu and not him? What makes Tang Yu superior to him?

Now, Edwin stood before Tang Yu, his grey eyes fixed on him, and heard Tang Yu address Tang Tang as "Master."

Owner.

This is not a word that would be used in everyday life.

As society has developed to this point, no matter how many rules and so-called customs have been passed down, the word "master" has ultimately become a term used by certain fixed groups of people.

But regardless of what happened in private, Tang Yu should absolutely not use it in her conversation with Edwin.

This seems a bit too strange.

so what.

Edwin asked, "Why is that what you call Nikolata?"

He paused abruptly, then asked, "Tang Xiao, is that butler like you?"

Tang Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, a flicker of emotion passing through his eyes behind his glasses. He gave Edwin a rather impolite look, mentally recalling a few words his master had once spoken to him.

Tang Tang did indeed casually mention Edwin to Tang Yu once.

In Tang Tang's view, Edwin, an ordinary human (though his intelligence was far from ordinary), was able to develop a potion with incredible lethality and to study those things from meteorite fragments... it was simply an incredible miracle.

Not to mention she even slept with him.

Such a good person, we definitely have to keep him in our grasp, we absolutely can't leave him to the US region.

Edwin and Edmund are not the same.

Edwin is over thirty years old this year. He has enough life experience to take responsibility for his own future. Moreover, the Sterling family does not only have Edwin as an heir.

Therefore, Tang Tang felt no psychological burden at all when she took Edwin away.

But Edmund was different; he had too many family members here, and his status was also special.
