Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

Zhang Shuli saw that Xu Manman took the contract and started reading it, without any intention of handing it over to Lu Chenzhou. She was trying to steal the credit!

Everyone knows that this collaboration is a great achievement, and whoever signs it will be awarded the top honor.

Lu Chenzhou's signature was, after all, a result of the entire team's efforts.

If Xu Manman signs it, wouldn't that be her personal achievement?

Thinking that Xu Manman has only been in the army for a little over a year, she is already almost catching up with her.

In some respects, she even had less power than Xu Manman.

Zhang Shuli felt resentful at this thought, and seeing that the other party still wanted to sign the contract in person, she couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

“Xu Manman, Comrade Lu has been in charge of this cooperation. It’s not proper for you to rush to sign the contract now.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Manman looked up at her and then smiled.

"Comrade Zhang, aren't you being too hasty? This is a contract for me to purchase cargo ships for my own factory, and it has nothing to do with your mission."

After she finished speaking, she also saw the last page.

There are no problems with the contract.

Xu Manman's contract did not mention cargo ships; it was based on the transaction amount.

For the portion exceeding the price, Victor directly lowered the price of the cargo ship. The cargo ship she sold was worth 3200 million, and the cargo ship she bought was also worth 3200 million.

Thus, Xu Manman got a shipping fleet for free, thanks to the generosity of the United States.

At this moment, the people from country M were furious. As they left the conference room, Hawke had a dark expression on his face.

No one else understood what was going on.

What exactly did Xu Manman do to earn Victor's special attention?

They sent people to investigate yesterday, but they didn't find out anything.

Hawke also found it unbelievable; they offered more money, yet Victor didn't choose them.

Moreover, their several transactions with China all ended in failure, and some of them were particularly bizarre.

Take, for example, the large cargo ships they built at great expense, which sank to the bottom of the sea after only a few uses.

That was a brand new ship, built not long ago; it couldn't have sunk to the bottom like that.

But apart from the sound of the explosion, they had no other clues; the ship was simply gone.

In addition, it was nighttime, there was no moon in the sky, it was pitch black, and you couldn't see anything.

If they hadn't encountered a passenger ship bound for country M, it's uncertain whether those responsible for transporting the medicinal herbs would have made it back alive.

This time too, something that seemed certain to succeed still failed.

He was unwilling to accept this, and Hawke wanted to see what China had to offer to secure this cooperation.

The meeting room was quiet.

Zhang Shuli's eyes widened and her body stiffened. What was Xu Manman saying?

She knew Xu Manman was rich because she had invested all the funds in the foundation.

But a cruise ship costs at least between 150 million and 300 million yuan. Where did Xu Manman get so much money?

The fact that someone was this rich was completely beyond Zhang Shuli's comprehension; not only her, but everyone was stunned.

Victor glanced at the dazed team and wondered if they didn't know that Xu Manman had bought a cruise ship.

It's really weird.

But he didn't care about anything else; he signed his name, and the contract was considered complete.

"Do you need me to send these fifteen cargo ships back to you?"

Xu Manman shook her head: "No need, we'll handle these ourselves."

Zhang Shuli gasped in shock. Fifteen oil tankers, even at the cheapest price, would cost at least 30 million.

Xu Manman's money is probably ill-gotten.

Jealousy flickered in her eyes, and a thought arose in her mind.

Although Fei Huainan had a high salary, high bonuses, and many merits, he was not that rich.

Xu Manman is another story altogether. She's supposedly just a country girl. How can a country person be so rich?

They have unclear sources of money, and she wants to report them.

However, since it wasn't a good time to report it, Zhang Shuli forcibly suppressed the idea.

Fu Kexin was completely dumbfounded. Looking at Xu Manman chatting leisurely with Victor, she suddenly felt inferior to her.

She wasn't as pretty as Xu Manman, nor as rich, and she didn't have Xu Manman's confidence.

To be honest, given Fu Kexin's qualifications, she was completely unqualified to come to Nancy this time.

Zhang Shuli requested that she be allowed to come along, and she came with the intention of broadening her horizons.

These past few days have indeed been eventful. She thought that Xu Manman could easily solve the problems that had put her in trouble.

In that instant, Fu Kexin seemed to wake up. She had no chance of winning against someone like that trying to win a man.

Unless, of course, the other person is blind.

At that moment, Fu Kexin's liking and love for Fei Huainan faded considerably.

Thinking back on her past actions, she felt as if she had lost her mind.

How could she do such a shameless thing, knowing that Fei Huainan was married, yet still harassing him?

Fu Kexin was like someone who suddenly woke up and looked back to find herself trapped in something she couldn't get out of, doing the wrong thing in order to win the heart of a married man.

She wished she could slap herself twice.

Fu Kexin felt that she had been incredibly foolish in the past.

Not only are they stupid, but they're also arrogant.

Back then, she felt superior because she thought Xu Manman was from the countryside and didn't deserve someone as good as Fei Huainan.

She felt that she completely outclassed Xu Manman and that she was the most suitable person for Fei Huainan.

In fact, aside from the glory brought by her ancestors, her own achievements pale in comparison to those of Xu Manman.

Not worth mentioning.

She should have used her abilities and prime years to do more meaningful things, but instead she wasted so much time on so-called love and romance.

That was really wrong.

Fu Kexin looked at Xu Manman, who was radiating light, and a determined look flashed in her eyes.

She also wanted to become someone like Xu Manman.

After Victor and Xu Manman finalized their cooperation, they brought up the issue of coatings and technical problems in the project proposal.

The plan was written clearly, but she only wrote half of each item.

It just disappears when it gets to the crucial part.

Victor was so anxious he was scratching his head, fearing that Xu Manman wouldn't give him the other half.

In this respect, Xu Manman was opportunistic; she used something that everyone could research in the future to do things now.

But she doesn't regret it.

Now is the most difficult time for China, but also a time of rapid development. Since she has this cheating tool called "space," she should naturally use it when the time is right.

Xu Manman doesn't want anything in return; she just hopes her motherland will become strong.

The things in the plan are all things that can actually advance technology.

Then why doesn't she give it to her own country?!

It's very simple. The country is still in its early stages, like a baby just learning to walk.

This relatively advanced technology is like sprinting; if you put a baby on a sprint, it will probably fall several times.

But Nancy is different.
