However, Mr. Fu's attitude was completely different from that of other companies. He chose to firmly believe in and support them, and was extremely interested in the new flu vaccine.

How could this not excite Dr. Luo?

So without hesitation, he signed a contract with Fu Huaiyan and immediately began his research. And if nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to achieve a breakthrough in three months.

Fu Huaiyan was overjoyed to hear the news so quickly. If there were results in three months, he could immediately submit the application for review and begin lengthy clinical trials. If all went well, it could be launched on the market next summer, and there might even be enough time to develop a special drug.

I'm so happy to see such rapid progress.

On the other hand, information about Song Ying's interpersonal relationships and social circle, obtained through the Fu Family's influence, was also investigated and presented to Su Wanqiao.

Su Wanqiao noticed that Song Ying didn't have many friends, only two well-known daughters of prominent families. Recently, one of them, the Bai Family, held a birthday party, so Song Ying was invited to attend. However, she rarely appeared in public and was a relatively unknown figure in high society. Some people assumed she was someone else's date or a socialite.

In short, it seems that Song Ying was harassed by the other young ladies at this banquet.

After all, Song Ying doesn't go out often, and after the incident, Song Sihan stopped letting her participate in social activities, so she doesn't have many opportunities. This birthday party is definitely the location where the plot takes place.

Su Wanqiao will definitely attend; attending such an event isn't difficult, and her purpose this time is clear: to protect Song Ying.

Fu Huaiyan was not comfortable with Su Wanqiao going to the birthday party alone, so he had two invitations arranged.

Even if it was just Song Ying, he still wouldn't feel comfortable letting Su Wanqiao go alone.

After all, dealing with a devil in human skin like Song Sihan is extremely dangerous; one wrong move could lead to utter ruin.

However, to Su Wanqiao and Fu Huaiyan's surprise, they saw Jiang Ruoning at the birthday banquet of the Bai Family's youngest daughter.

After inquiring, it was learned that Jiang Ruoning seemed to have some connection with the old lady of the Bai family, and had recently received an investment from them, so the business that was on the verge of death is now alive again.

[This even fits into the plot!]

[However, the plot is powerful; the female lead is at the banquet, so she'll definitely help Song Ying when she's being bullied.]

[Speechless. No one can take this opportunity to help others from me today... not even the female lead.]

Su Wanqiao walked confidently into the venue with Fu Huaiyan by her arm. The man's lips never curved into a smile, but he couldn't help himself when he heard such a lovely voice.

Jiang Ruoning didn't see Su Wanqiao; she had come here tonight to meet clients and promote business.

She's not as carefree as she used to be. The series of failures, recent setbacks, and the emotional turmoil with Gu Yubai have all eroded her composure and confidence.

Jiang Ruoning's only thought right now is to do business well and try to get the company's business up and running as soon as possible, because that's her only chance.

So when she heard noises coming from the theater, her first reaction wasn't to go and see what was going on, but rather to focus her attention on some important guests at the banquet.

Naturally, they didn't immediately notice the sudden situation.

Su Wanqiao was the first to spot the source of the noise, and immediately led her bodyguards, rushing towards it at lightning speed, leaving Fu Huaiyan struggling to keep up...

"Tsk tsk, whose daughter is this? We don't think we've seen you before."

"Yes, who invited you? Did you have an invitation?"

"Are any Tom, Dick, or Harry allowed in these days? It's ridiculous."

"I bet you're trying to sneak in and hook up with rich guys."

Song Ying was surrounded by a group of wealthy young ladies, her eyes red and tears welling up in her eyes.

Her voice was soft and timid.

"I have an invitation; I was invited by Xiao Bai."

"Nonsense. If you were Miss Bai's friend, we've never seen you before."

"I think you're just a social butterfly who wants to come in looking for men. Who do you think you are?"

The sharp-tongued young lady at the head of the group picked up a glass of red wine and was about to splash it on Song Ying's face.

However, Su Wanqiao blocked Song Ying's way, and the red wine was knocked to the ground by her slap.

Although it saved Song Ying from the wine spill, the wine ended up all over Su Wanqiao's expensive white dress.

Su Wanqiao did it on purpose. She had the ability not to avoid it, otherwise how could she use this excuse to continue getting to know Song Ying?

Everyone gasped in surprise.

It seemed someone had recognized Su Wanqiao.

"Mrs. Fu, Mr. Fu, I didn't mean to, I'm so sorry, so sorry."

Her sharp and sarcastic expression from just moments ago was instantly replaced by a tearful voice.

The Fu Group is an entity that her family cannot afford to offend.

Fu Huaiyan also walked over with a cold face, and his expression became even more frightening when he saw the wine stains on Su Wanqiao's dress.

"Who made this? Kneel down and clean it for my wife."

The young lady was so frightened that her voice trembled, she bent over and her body shivered uncontrollably, and she looked like she was about to collapse. She could only beg for mercy and apologize, while the others around her were also ashen-faced.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to."

Su Wanqiao thought to herself that this kind of person only knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong, and said softly, "No need, but you need to apologize to this young lady."

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

Another round of pleas for mercy and apologies ensued, and the other person almost knelt on the ground.

At this moment, the Bai Family's daughter also came over and introduced Song Ying's identity. Everyone was shocked, not expecting her to be Song Sihan's sister. Their hearts raced, and they were relieved that they hadn't joined that clueless woman in bullying Song Ying, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
