Chapter 31

Su Qiong was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, Mu Yunting had already left the balcony.

Her chest was beating irregularly, and her worries about Tang Yixi were dispelled by such a brainless sentence. Su Qiong raised her hand to pat her face, then lowered her head to play with the mung bean sprouts in the basin.

What do you mean I'm not disturbing you...

Mu Yunting returned to his study, tilted his head back to drink a sip of water, and then placed the cup in the blind spot of the camera. He looked down at the screen time. There were still nearly twenty minutes before the meeting started. Mu Yunting sat in his office chair, thinking about what Su Qiong had just said, and clicked on his tablet.

Wuhan epidemic lacks

As soon as the keyword is typed in, all kinds of news pop up, some official and some just to take advantage of the popularity.

Mu Yunting glanced at it briefly for a while, his brows furrowed more and more, and finally his eyes fixed on a piece of news from an unknown source - the woman who was quarantined and asked for sanitary napkins, please hold back your menstruation!

What the hell is this? Mu Yunting couldn't understand. Could it be that someone didn't even know that menstruation was a physiological need? He clicked on it, then scrolled through the popular tweets below.

"Feminine hygiene products on the front lines are in urgent need!"

Mu Yunting stared at the text inside, tapping the desktop irregularly, and finally returned to the search interface to continue sliding.

Before the meeting, Mu Yunting sent Gao Qifa a message: "Give me this month's financial report for Group A before 3:00 PM."

Gao Qi’s reply popped up immediately: [Okay, Boss!]

After the meeting and the financial report, Mu Yunting opened his tablet to check which areas had been hardest hit by the epidemic. Then he remembered he had forgotten to ask where Su Qiong's friend was. He checked the time on the screen: 5:27. It was almost time for dinner.

It was Su Qiong's turn to cook lunch today. As soon as Mu Yunting walked into the restaurant, he smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen.

Mu Yunting faintly smelled alcohol: "What did you eat today?"

Su Qiong heard the voice and turned around. "Are you done with work? Let's have beer duck today!" She was worried about Tang Yixi and had no time to play games. She happened to see some wine in the refrigerator and decided to learn a new dish.

Su Qiong had just applied a rag to her hands and was about to pick up the ceramic pot filled with beer duck through the rag, but she saw Mu Yunting pick up the beer duck before her. She had no choice but to say, "It's still steaming, very hot, be careful."

Su Qiong adhered to the philosophy of keeping work and life separate, and therefore never discussed company matters with Mu Yunting after leaving. Their conversations were ordinary, daily affairs, without any plans or plans that needed to be discussed, and even casual conversations.

Su Qiong thought that since she had resigned, she shouldn't ask about the company's affairs just because she was still living with Mu Yunting. She didn't ask how the meeting went, but simply wiped her hands and served the remaining food with Mu Yunting.

After bringing all the food to the table, Su Qiong sat down on the dining chair and asked Mu Yunting to pick up some food to try: "Thank you for your hard work. Come and try the beer duck to see if it is successful."

Mu Yunting picked up a piece of duck meat, still steaming when he brought it to his lips. He blew on it gently before stuffing it into his mouth. The aroma of beer permeated the duck meat, which was soft but not mushy. Mu Yunting chewed and nodded, swallowing it and replied, "Delicious, a very successful beer duck."

Su Qiong smiled, her eyes curved.

They ate quietly, occasionally speaking a few words.

Mu Yunting asked Su Qiong in the middle of the meal: "Where is your doctor friend providing support in Wuhan?"

Su Qiong replied: "Wuhan University People's Hospital. What's wrong?"

Mu Yunting shook his head: "It's okay." He didn't like to talk about things he was not sure about.

After dinner, Mu Yunting rushed to stack the dishes: "I'll wash the dishes, you go and have a rest."

"Okay." Su Qiong did not refuse. She wanted to go back to her side and call Tang Yixi again to see if she could get through.

Mu Yunting returned to his study, put on his Bluetooth headset, and called Gao Qi before going to the kitchen. While he was putting on his apron, Gao Qi answered the phone.

"Hello, boss?"

Mu Yunting tied her bow, turned on the faucet with one hand, and pressed the dishwashing liquid with the other. "I've finished reading the financial report. Within two days, you will investigate the top ten areas most seriously short of supplies during the epidemic. Allocate 5 million from Group A and distribute the donations proportionally. In two days, before nine o'clock, give me the funding table for review."

Gao Qi responded, not expecting a sudden need for donations. Before he could even ask, Mu Yunting spoke again, "We're negotiating with Wuhan University Renmin Hospital. Ask them what they need. Funds under 10 million will be transferred directly from my personal card. If they exceed that, we'll report it later."

Mu Yunting turned off the faucet, picked up the sponge and started scrubbing the dishes.

Gao Qi forgot to ask why and took note of this extra task. "Okay, boss." He heard the initial sound of water flow stop on the other end of the phone, and heard the gurgling sound of water stirring. He asked curiously, "Boss, what are you doing?"

Mu Yunting put the bowl that had been rubbed and soaked with bubbles aside and said naturally: "I'm washing the dishes. I'll hang up first if I have time."

Gao Qi didn't react and just said "oh". Mu Yunting thought Gao Qi had nothing else to say and hung up the phone.
