"Mr. Fu, look at this sea area. The nighttime view is particularly nice, especially looking at the waves from this angle. It feels quite special." Shangguan Nanxian had changed into a set of clothes, a Chinese-style dark blue long gauze skirt, with multiple layers that were both sheer and beautiful. At this moment, she was standing beside Fu Tingzhou. Her long hair draped over her shoulders and she had a fair complexion with an elegant demeanor, speaking gracefully.

She was introducing the scenery in front of them to Fu Tingzhou.

Fu Tingzhou slowly nodded, "Miss Shangguan indeed possesses a refined taste. Such a night view is indeed rare to see."

North City is an inland city, where seldom seen.

The seawater merges with the night.

Only when the waves undulate one can see a layer of shattered silver-like white lines.

At this moment, there is a half-moon high in the sky.

Shangguan Nanxian said, "Mr. Fu, I am delighted that you could attend this jewelry gala. I know you prefer not to discuss business privately, so let’s enjoy the night view and look at the jewelry tonight."

Not having established an in-depth cooperation with the Fu Family and being preempted by the Gao Family had already been a big blow to the Shangguan Family.

But although the Gao Family has gained the upper hand, it does not mean the Shangguan Family is without countermeasures.

Throughout the whole North Island, the Gao Family is involved in many industries, but their accomplishments are not deep. Gao Chengxong made his fortune through women, with Lin Shuyuan’s help. Gao Chengxong really has courage, but he is also shortsighted and favors projects that make quick money.

However, the Shangguan Family is different; they have deep roots on North Island and are a century-old major family.

From the time of Shangguan Nanxian’s great-grandfather, the Shangguan Family was established on North Island. They are involved in many industries and are experts in the jewelry and pearl industry. Almost the entire North Island’s Pearl Harbor ports are under Shangguan Family control. Typically, the Shangguan Family is relatively low-profile, with net profits not as high as the Gao Family, but they don’t fall behind in overall corporate operations.

This time when Fu Tingzhou came to North Island for cooperation, the Shangguan Family was also actively vying for it. After all, operating on North Island alone is limited to this small island. If they can expand outwards and collaborate with top-tier city families, the opportunities and profits are much greater.

For now, they have been temporarily outpaced by the Gao Family, but Shangguan Nanxian would not miss any opportunity for cooperation with the Fu Family, not even the slightest chance, not limited merely to the tourism industry.

Moreover, the Gao Family alone cannot monopolize the entire cooperation. For this cooperation worth tens of billions, the Gao Family can’t provide so much capital in one go. In the end, they still need to seek help from the Shangguan Family.

Additionally, there’s the uniquely owned Pearl Harbor by the Shangguan Family.

Pearl Harbor on North Island, the pearl import and export has always been a major source of income for the Shangguan Family.

"Mr. Fu, this is a new product we just developed this season. This pink pearl necklace can only be produced with such quality on North Island. I believe even in big cities like North City, it is seldom seen." Shangguan Nanxian introduced the jewelry on the display stand with neither arrogance nor servility.

Although Fu Tingzhou is not an expert in jewelry, identifying good or bad quality is something any ordinary person could see at a glance.

The pearls from North Island indeed have a natural advantage.

"This one, what is the price, can it be sold?"

Shangguan Nanxian, "If Mr. Fu likes it, I can give it to Mr. Fu as a gift."

"Just name a price," Fu Tingzhou doesn’t like to just take things casually.

Shangguan Nanxian said, "Alright, we’ll go with the counter price then. This batch of new products will gradually be available in the counters over the next few days, and the marketing department has already set the prices."

She looked at Fu Tingzhou’s side profile. From her first contact with Fu Tingzhou, she knew he was a man with an extremely difficult and powerful presence, and a cold temperament. Shangguan Nanxian felt oppressed by his side. Her heart was always on edge, though she appeared calm and composed on the surface. In fact, Shangguan Nanxian had been carefully considering this man’s preferences all along.

Such an outstanding man also briefly aroused her admiration.

She is also extremely adept at discerning subtleties.

From the moment Fu Tingzhou walked in, Shangguan Nanxian noticed his gaze settle on the friend brought by Gu Zhiyi. That woman, Shangguan Nanxian was certain, was no ordinary person.

Being so favored by Fu Tingzhou, she must be extraordinary.

It is just someone as arrogant and stupid as Gao Youhan who would fantasize about marrying Fu Tingzhou and becoming Mrs. Fu through a mere cooperation. Not to mention, in this collaboration, whichever family cooperates with Fu Tingzhou would indeed profit, all thanks to leveraging the Fu Family’s influence.

Around ten o’clock at night, the gala concluded.

After Fu Tingzhou left, Shangguan Nanxian instructed her assistant Yu Ke, "Prepare a pearl bracelet of the same model for Miss Tang Xi according to the size of her wrist and send it to her."

Yu Ke bowed his head, "That Tang Xi...I just had someone look into it, she’s a doctor at the residential hospital, just an ordinary person. Do you think we might be overthinking it? Maybe Mr. Fu was just struck by her beauty and wanted to have a fling...."

Tang Xi arrived on North Island four years ago.

She recently transferred from Central Hospital to the residential hospital, just a normal doctor.

How could she know Fu Tingzhou?

Shangguan Nanxian said, "That woman is definitely extraordinary. Yu Ke, do not neglect her. Tang Xi is definitely unusual. Haven’t you been my assistant long enough to possess even this level of insight?"

The Shangguan Family has always been controlled by the siblings Shangguan Dongting and Shangguan Nanxian; Shangguan Bai has almost retired.

Although Shangguan Nanxian is a woman, her thinking and vision are sharp. She holds a significant position in the Shangguan Group. Her demeanor may not be as domineering or arrogant, but she remains calm and wise with a business mind, no less than Shangguan Dongting.

Yu Ke immediately nodded, "Yes, I will prepare right away."

Shangguan Nanxian’s gaze once again crossed the crowd and landed on Tang Xi. That woman radiated a serene and understated beauty that was impossible to ignore. No wonder a man like Fu Tingzhou would take notice.

Through Tang Xi, perhaps, there might be an opportunity to engage with the Fu Family’s cooperation.
