The Mo family made quite a stir, and the news that Mo Chen of the Mo family and Qing Ziyue of the Qing family were about to get married quickly spread.

The marriage of this handsome man and beautiful woman, both strong and capable, caused the share prices of the Mo and Qing families to multiply several times over.

After all, the Mo family and the Qing family will be one family in the future, so they will definitely develop better and better, and their status as business leaders will become more and more stable. No one will dare to avoid their sharp edge.

Both of them are wealthy, and Mo Chen even spent 130 billion Chinese Yuan to buy a cruise ship built at the world's largest shipbuilding base. The ship had just been launched and was undergoing trial runs and was given to Zi Yue as a gift, with the intention of holding a wedding at sea.

Mo Chen named it "Qingxin Hao" simply because "Qing" sounds the same as "Qing".

Various entertainment weekly magazines, trending news outlets, and even financial newspapers and magazines are filled with news about the couple's wedding and their extravagant spending, resulting in a constant stream of articles.

The employees of the Mo and Qing families were also in high spirits, as if the New Year was approaching.

After all, their on-screen couple has actually become a reality, and they're getting married soon! That's fast, I'm so smitten!

That afternoon, after hearing the news that Mo Chen was about to get married, Lan Ruofeng stormed to the headquarters of the Mo Group.

Inside Mo Chen's office—

Mo Chen focused intently on his work, completely ignoring Lan Ruofeng, who was glaring angrily at him from the sofa.

Lan Ruofeng grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his eyes darted around.

"You're ignoring me, huh? Fine, then I'll go find President Qing and have a chat about life."

He stood up and turned to leave.

"Stop." Mo Chen's voice came from behind.

"Ha!! I knew you would stop me as soon as I mentioned going to see Qing Ziyue."

So Lan Ruofeng sat back down on the sofa with an air of smugness.

Mo Chen certainly wouldn't let him go to Zi Yue.

After all, he clearly remembered that this kid had once set his sights on Qingqing and said he wanted to pursue her.

Although he eventually gave up, he would never give him and Qingqing a chance to be alone together.

After all, his Qingqing is so wonderful. What if he turns back and discovers how good she is, and then tries to take her away from him?

Although he felt that Qingqing would definitely look down on this lunatic, right?

His tone carried a hint of uncertainty, after all, he knew that Qingqing was somewhat attracted to good-looking people, and that she naturally had a certain boost in her favorability towards attractive people.

Lan Ruofeng may not have much else, but his face is undeniably attractive, so, well, let's not give them a chance to be alone together.

Mo Chen got up and sat on the sofa opposite Lan Ruofeng. "Speak, what do you want from me?"

This nonchalant tone only made Lan Ruofeng angrier.

"What else do you want to ask me?! You're getting married and you didn't even tell me beforehand. I only found out by seeing it on the news. Are we still brothers?! Tell me!!"

"I haven't had a chance to inform them yet; I've been busy these past few days." Okay, he really had forgotten about him, but he wasn't going to tell the truth.

"Hmph, I'll believe you, albeit reluctantly. Where is the wedding being held? Has the date been set? I want to be the best man." He then eagerly asked all sorts of questions, his enthusiasm so high that it was as if he himself was getting married.

Mo Chen sat calmly opposite him, leisurely drinking tea, when suddenly Lan Ruofeng changed the subject.

"By the way, do you have any ideas about that project in J City?"

J City is a neighboring city to the east of H City. Lan Ruofeng asked about the J City government's plan to build a new commercial district.

The government office building will also be moved there. There will be a new commercial center, surrounding residential areas, government buildings, stadiums, science and technology museums, amusement parks, theme parks and so on. It's a huge project.

Mo Chen picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "Hmm, let me ask Qingqing if she has any thoughts."

"Tsk tsk, he's not even married yet, and he's already so henpecked, so obedient to his wife."

“People without wives don’t understand my happiness,” Mo Chen retorted immediately.

"Heh, what's there to be proud of? Just wait and see, it won't be long before I find a wife too," Lan Ruofeng said defiantly.

"We'll talk about it when you find it."

It was almost time to leave work, and Mo Chen, interrupted by Lan Ruofeng, thought that the documents on his desk had been almost finished, so he decided to leave work early to pick up his Qingqing for dinner.

To everyone's surprise, Lan Ruofeng insisted on going along, shamelessly.

So, Mo Chen and Lan Ruofeng went to Zi Yue's office together.

Ziyue looked at the two people who came in one after the other and raised her eyebrows, saying, "Oh, what's the wind blowing today, bringing President Lan here with me too."

Mo Chen stepped forward and hugged Yi Yue. "Don't mind him, he's just here to freeload."

Lan Ruofeng wasn't angry at all, and shamelessly said, "Yes, I just came to freeload a meal."

As Ziyue handed her coat and bag to Mo Chen, she asked the two of them, "Alright, let's go, it's on me. It's been so long since we've had hot pot, how about we have some?"

Mo Chen and Lan Ruofeng had no objections, so they went to a famous hot pot restaurant, booked a private room, and ordered a half-and-half pot.

We ordered a whole table full of food, including tripe, shrimp paste, bacon, luncheon meat, fatty beef, duck tongue, and various meatballs. For vegetables, we chose lettuce, kelp, lotus root, romaine lettuce, enoki mushrooms, and chrysanthemum greens.

Mo Chen kept putting Zi Yue's favorite foods into the pot; all she had to do was eat.

Looking at the engaged couple across from him, one focused on serving food and the other on eating, completely oblivious to everyone else, Lan Ruofeng felt like he'd turned into a lemon, and the meat in his mouth suddenly lost its appeal.

Even if it doesn't smell good, you have to eat it!

You need to eat more!!

Lan Ruofeng channeled her grief and anger into her appetite, devouring almost half of the food with gusto.

After the meal, Mo Chen and Zi Yue leisurely ate the fruit and drank the tea.

Lan Ruofeng, clutching his bloated stomach and drinking tea to aid digestion, brought up the matter of building a separate economic zone in J City again.

Ziyue asked, "Should we do it? This is indeed a huge project, and the initial investment is like burning money."

Lan Ruofeng quickly followed up, "What if we cooperate? Mo, Qing, and Lan, the three of us working together, we can take it all over. How about it, want to consider it?"

Ziyue and Mochen exchanged a glance and then said, "It's not impossible. After all, taking it down with the combined resources of our three families is not a problem at all."

Let's not even talk about how rich the original owner was. She could afford to burn money, let alone gold.

You should know that in her previous life in ancient times, the Linglong Pavilion's auctions had been making tens of thousands of gold coins a day for many years, and she had already accumulated a small mountain of gold in her space.

There are approximately 20 million taels of gold.

Of course, she also secretly took out a lot of the resources in the space, such as the grains and vegetables she grew, including high-yield and high-quality seeds, which were distributed all over the country.

In her later years, it can be said that no ordinary people were starving or without proper clothing; at the very least, every household was able to eat their fill and stay warm.

She took the gold with her, as if that small world had used that gold to exchange for the food crops.

(The author says—please don't let any cuties attack me by saying, "You took all the gold from that little world, how are they supposed to develop on their own?!")

Please, what the female lead took away was only a very small part of the world.

In ancient times, emperors would reward meritorious officials with tens of thousands of taels of gold.

She also helped the economy develop in that world, and the overall living standards of the people improved. How should that be accounted for, right? Let's just say the female protagonist and the small world made an equal exchange.

-

Thus, right there in the private room of this small hot pot restaurant, the foundation for the future largest and most prosperous economic zone in J City was laid.

In the original novel, this project is a turning point in the protagonist's career.

However, later, due to a mistake by the female lead, several lives were lost, but the male lead's power was already so great that he easily covered it up.

Now, Ziyue blinked and said that since the rest of the family had taken their share, the male lead wouldn't have a chance.

But so what?

She is a businesswoman now, and businessmen pursue profit; she has simply made the choice that best suits a businesswoman.

It could also have prevented those murders from happening.

As for the male and female leads, what does that have to do with her?
