Gong Jinyao had already figured it out.
Because even if she got involved, she wouldn't be able to compete with other forces.
The current Gong family is no longer the Gong family of the past.
Having many branches and leaves is indeed a good thing, but if they are not pruned or saved in time, they will inevitably suffer from pests and decaying roots.
In the end, the outcome would be nothing more than collapsing and turning into fertilizer for other trees in the forest.
This is the current state of the Gong family, already rotten to the core, beyond saving.
Financially drained, merely a shell, with an influence far less than before among the many major forces.
Apart from the major forces that mostly watch from the sidelines, even some smaller forces dare to eye them covetously.
Previously, she just needed a chance to make a firm decision.
And Mu An just happened to become the spark in her heart!
"Have you made up your mind?"
"I've made up my mind!"
"No regrets?"
"No regrets!"
Hearing the other party's firm answer, Mu An couldn't help but look at Gong Jinyao with a higher regard.
Although the new generation of fruit company's phone has had 'accidents' frequently, ordinary people do not know the reasons behind it.
But considering the company's past global sales performance, it can be inferred that obtaining the agency rights in Dragon Country is definitely a tempting big cake.
And the reason why temptation is called temptation is that very few people can refuse it.
Of course, whether this temptation hides traps or gold coins, only those who step into it will know.
"A wise decision."
"Perhaps everyone in the Gong family will thank you for your decision in the future!"
Mu An did not hesitate to give a compliment.
"Thank you."
Gong Jinyao smiled slightly, her lips curving into a beautiful smile.
For her, receiving gratitude from everyone in the Gong family was not as important as getting Mu An's affirmation!
[After receiving your affirmation, Gong Jinyao felt an immense joy in her heart. In the face of happiness, the entire Gong family might not be as important as you alone. Emotional fluctuation +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +30]!]
"Sister Wanrou, what about your Tianmu Group? Are you still looking to grab a piece of this cake?"
"With the strength of your Mu family, you probably have a great chance of becoming the final winner!"
Perhaps emboldened by the man she liked, Gong Jinyao dared to actively ask Mu Wanrou.
This was not exactly a business secret.
Since everyone present had come here, they must have already thought about wanting to grab a piece of the cake.
But Mu Wanrou just glanced at her and calmly shook her head.
"Not participating."
"..."
"Not participating? Why?"
Gong Jinyao's eyes showed a hint of confusion.
Could it be that she was afraid of taking risks?
That shouldn't be the case; a company as formidable as Tianmu Group would hardly fear any risks!
Based on the past global sales of the fruit company, obtaining the resale rights almost guaranteed profit; it was just a matter of how much they would earn!
"Not interested."
Mu Wanrou succinctly expressed her opinion again.
Gong Jinyao: "..."
'What a powerful and willful reason!'
'If only I could also follow my heart and be so willful!'
[Emotional fluctuation +18 from Gong Jinyao's admiration and envy, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +8 million]!]
Beside her, Mu An couldn't help but chuckle.
At this moment, Mu Wanrou had in her hands numerous complete blueprints of future black technologies provided by him.
As long as they could be replicated, being a hundred years ahead of current world science and technology would be completely feasible.
As for the latest generation of fruit phones?
Haha, in the face of those black technologies, it was just a toy among toys!
There was no comparison at all!
Mu Wanrou glanced at Mu An.
Then her gaze shifted to Gong Jinyao's slightly made-up delicate face, her thin lips parted as she said softly,
"If you can completely rid yourself of your current identity, I wouldn't mind giving you a chance to get rich overnight."
"Consider it an early... betrothal gift from the Mu family!"
Betrothal... gift!?
Hearing these two words, Gong Jinyao couldn't help but tremble.
This was not just a simple phrase; it opened a path for her to pursue happiness.
Of course, it also meant recognition from the 'main wife'!
As for the identity she needed to rid herself of... Gong Jinyao was clever enough to understand immediately.
At this moment, her voice trembled as she asked again,
"Really... really?"
"I never joke."
Mu Wanrou glanced at Mu An again.
It seemed to say, 'Are you satisfied with this gift I gave you?'
The latter was a bit at a loss for words.
'Why does everyone in the Mu family love to rush marriage so much?'
'My parents are like this, and so is Sister Wanrou. Is passing on the family line really that important?'
Mu An sighed and rubbed his forehead, not speaking, which could be seen as tacit approval since he wasn't losing anything.
In fact, one more female lead (a gold mine) by his side meant one more chance to explode their coins.
Moreover, Gong Jinyao's emotional rewards were erupting like a volcanic explosion!
At one point, Mu An was left speechless and dazzled.
[Emotional fluctuation +60 from Gong Jinyao's excitement, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +20,000], [Book: About How I Gained the Recognition of My Husband's Family and Had the Opportunity to Pursue My Own Happiness]!]
[Gong Jinyao was full of energy, eager to rid herself of the shackles she bore, end her nominal marriage with Long Haotian, and throw herself into the arms of the man she loved. Emotional fluctuation +99, congratulations, you have received the reward [Lifespan +3 years], [Master-level Shadow Guard *9]!]
…..
On the other side.
The fruit company decisively ignored the uproar from the 'common people' online and directly moved on to the next part of the press conference.
"Next up is the long-awaited new generation of fruit phone resale rights for the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Our company always adheres to the principles of fairness and justice, with the highest bidder winning, and we once again welcome global audience supervision."
"Therefore, our fruit company has offered the most sincere starting price—50 billion!"
"Now, let us begin the bidding for this auction that will surely go down in history!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the big shots from various industries in the audience couldn't help but frown.
Is 50 billion a lot?
It might not be much for them, but it was not a small amount either.
Moreover, unlike the online spectators who only needed to talk, these people who had to spend real money had many considerations.
For example... were the previous two explosions of the new generation of fruit phones just coincidences, or were they potential risks?
If it were the latter, they wouldn't even be able to discuss how much they could earn from this resale right; whether they could break even would be a question.
After all, even though the phones they sold with the resale rights were worth nearly ten thousand, after deducting various costs, the actual profit they received for each phone might be less than a thousand.
This was merely a volume game to earn some 'pocket money'!
Just as everyone was deep in thought, a loud and arrogant voice suddenly rang out.
"50 billion and one million!"
Everyone instinctively searched for the owner of this voice.
They saw...
