Chapter 17 Chapter 17 (Revised) Host, that is the master...
The system shook its head embarrassedly, then looked at Shen Muyun's uncertain face, and said boldly, "Host, this is not a side quest, this is a main quest, which means you must capture Lu Huainan."
Shen Muyun was instantly startled. The half orange segment he had swallowed was stuck in his throat. He couldn't help but cough a few times. "I, I say, system, what the hell is this? You said, let me capture someone?"
"Well, this is what it shows here. The system has not slept for a day and a night and is shutting down. Dear host, see you tomorrow."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't run away yet. What do you mean by this? Hey! Come back here! System! Damn it!"
The system disappeared into thin air without any attachment, leaving only an invitation card at the bedside. The title page had a double-coiled snake pattern, and when the inner page was opened, it showed Lu Huainan's birthday time and banquet venue, inlaid with layers of gold edges, and there was still some time left.
The system flew away, Shen Muyun felt that it was meaningless, thinking about the system's words, strategy, didn't you say before that Lu Huainan was extremely difficult, is this just a matter of saying it and not saying it?
Shen Muyun lay in bed, dazed. From time to time, he felt as if there was someone beside him, like a dark shadow moving back and forth, but it seemed to be suppressed and could not move at all. Who was it? His mind was in a mess. It seemed familiar, like...
By the time he was fully awake, the sun was shining brightly, with strands of sunlight falling directly on his quilt. The gloom of yesterday had long since disappeared. Although he had not slept well, his body felt much more comfortable. The figure in his dream seemed somewhat familiar, and there was an imperceptible smell in the air.
Shen Muyun's phone screen flashed blue light intermittently, there was a message, but his brain instructed his hands to ignore it. He stretched his arms and legs, but he didn't feel any discomfort. There was no problem. It would be better for him to stay in a place like the hospital for a while longer.
After changing into his original clothes, Shen Muyun decided to go out for a walk. He was always worried about Himi. After all, it was because of him that he was injured.
Chen Muyun looked up at the sunlight, then at the stable in the distance. Following his memory, it should be nearby. Walking a little further, he heard the neighing of horses from afar.
Shen Muyun walked closer to take a look, and saw Himi running happily in the horse pen.
“Second Young Master Shen.”
The employee who was cleaning the stables nearby saw him and stopped what he was doing.
"how was it?"
"He's recovering well. I didn't expect it would only be a day or two. He's full of life, but he's a little scared. I guess it has had an impact."
Shen Muyun looked at the mango in his hand and handed it directly to the employee, "Feed it. Maybe it doesn't want to see me. As long as it's healthy, that's fine."
The ringing of the phone suddenly interrupted their conversation.
Shen Muyun picked up the phone, and Shen Liuyun’s voice came from it.
"Muyun, it's me. I received a notice from Doctor Qi. I'm at the entrance of the horse farm and ready to pick you up. Have you packed your things?"
"Yeah, almost there. I'm nearby and will be there soon."
Shen Muyun walked out along the path and just happened to see Shen Liuyun’s car.
"Muyun, this way."
Hearing Shen Liuyun's voice, he hung up the phone, turned sideways and lowered his head, looking at the half-open car window.
"Brother, I can actually go back by myself. I can just take a taxi."
Shen Liuyun instructed Shen Muyun, “Fasten your seat belts. I happen to have a contract this afternoon, and the agreed location is nearby. You just happened to be discharged from the hospital, so it’s just right. I’ll pick you up.”
Shen Muyun got into the car.
"Contract, is the company very busy lately?"
Shen Liuyun looked at the navigation and said, "It's just like that actually. The company has always been busy. Lu's land in the north of the city doesn't have any partners yet. But why are you so concerned about the company's affairs recently?"
"Well, it might just be a spur of the moment thing, brother, you know I tend to get excited after only three minutes."
Shen Liuyun chuckled softly, "That's true. Didn't the piece in the south of the city fall into your hands before? I asked you to keep an eye on it, and then it ran away abroad in a flash."
The original owner's memory flashed through Chen Muyun's mind. It seemed that there was such a period. At that time, he was living a life of luxury abroad and had no time to care about so many things. Besides, he couldn't take care of the things in Jiangcheng. People in this circle had already excluded him.
"Muyun, I always feel that your temper seems to have changed since you got off the cruise ship. It's like you've become a different person."
Shen Liuyun casually fiddled with the perfume in the car, and a scent of cedar instantly escaped. Looking at Shen Liuyun again, there was no movement.
"Not really. Maybe my mood has changed. Besides, the Zhou family is eyeing us covetously. I can't just leave it alone."
"If you're really interested, it wouldn't be a problem to put in some effort. The company has been very busy lately. I think your second degree is in economics, so it's not a bad idea to give it a try."
"Hmm? Ah, brother, well, I think, that's what I think. You know, I was a slacker in college, just getting by. I even had to make up for advanced math several times. So, running a company is something I really can't do."
Shen Liuyun turned a corner and looked at the message on his phone, "This afternoon's contract has been cancelled, so we can go home directly."
"That's great, let's go straight home."
"Actually, I have something else I want to talk to you about. How about coming to the company and helping me?"
Shen Muyun was a little surprised, and even spilled the perfume in his hand onto his pants, creating a small stain that was neither right nor wrong, but right in the middle.
"Ah, brother, what did you say?"
"I said, how about you help me manage the company's affairs?"
Shen Liuyun, what does this mean? Does he really want to do this?
"Brother, I..."
Shen Liuyun turned a corner and parked the car directly in the ground garage. The housekeeper was waiting on the side early, and he casually gave a few instructions.
"I think you'll be fine. I just asked the housekeeper to make your favorite pumpkin mug. Don't you love desserts the most?"
"Well, thank you, brother. I want to take a walk around and come back for dinner."
Shen Liuyun smiled and responded to Shen Muyun.
Shen Muyun immediately left the living room, followed his memory to find his room, and closed the door directly. Shen Liuyun was setting a trap for him, and maybe there was some hidden secret.
He checked the time. The system should have finished charging. "System, system, are you there?"
“Biubiubiu! I’m coming, it feels so good!”
Seeing the system's happy expression, Shen Muyun was furious, "You are so good!"
"Me? I'm fine. It's just that you still have doubts about the strategy to capture Lu Huainan. Let me take back what I said before. Lu Huainan is a golden bachelor with a harmonious family. Even his sister is well-educated and well-mannered. This kind of character is rare in novels."
"Stop, stop, stop. I don't want to hear about the mission to capture Lu Huainan anymore today. I feel that Shen Liuyun is not in the right state, so..."
"Oh? What do you think it is?"
Chen Muyun pinched the fox doll on the bedside. Hiss, the original owner actually liked this kind of thing.
"That is, um, that is, he asked me to help with the company's affairs today, and it feels a little strange."
The system sighed, and a blue light flashed on the screen, like a surveillance camera, showing Shen Liuyun and Lu Huainan.
"Huainan, don't you feel that Muyun's personality has changed a bit?"
Lu Huainan put down the contract in his hand and looked up at Shen Liuyun who was circling back and forth in front of him.
"So what? You should be most familiar with your brother."
"What do you mean by familiar? Mu Yun wasn't in Jiangcheng for a while and just came back. Who knows what kind of romantic affairs he had outside? Besides, he's weak. Last time he fell into the water, I wanted to help him, but I didn't expect him to come out on his own."
"You should have seen my brother fall into the water last time. He has been weak since he was young. At that time, he couldn't get out. I originally wanted to help him."
Lu Huainan took a sip of tea, picked up the contract that had been put aside, and turned to the last page.
"Liuyun, people, are complicated."
"I'm planning to let him join the company and try to find a sinecure. It's better than just sitting around doing nothing now."
Lu Huainan signed his name on the contract. "Well, as long as you are happy, I have signed the contract for the horse farm. It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
The display screen ends here.
Shen Muyun was stunned. What was the relationship between these two people? When did they become so close? Besides, Lu Huainan grew up in the United States. No way, no way, are these two people in the same group? If so, then what about the main plot!
"System, didn't the previous data say that Lu Huainan never came back? Why are they so close?"
The system stretched out its little wings and gently poked the little fox on Shen Muyun's bed, seeming to like it very much.
"You two are old friends, and you already have a good relationship. You're all in the same circle. Besides, you were engaged to Lu Huainan's sister before. Isn't it your principle to establish a good relationship in advance?"
Shen Muyun still had doubts about this matter. He felt it was inexplicably strange and couldn't explain it, but this was the situation now, so he decided to move on.
"System, do you have any books on business management? I know nothing about it."
"Ding Dong, you've asked the right person. The human market has opened."
"What is that?"
"You'll see for yourself if you take a look. A library card costs 500 tokens, and it's 5% off right now. You can read whatever you want, anytime."
"Okay, let's get one."
Shen Muyun never thought that he would have to look at the book about corporate management again. It was really annoying. There was no progress in the main task, and now there was an additional management company.
"Ding Dong, the library card has been successfully processed. Dear host, you must work hard. The system now shows that your main storyline progress is slow. As a system, I am still very worried about your emotional issues and the main storyline progress. Therefore, I have privately designed some small games to enhance the interest between you and Lu Huainan."
"What game?"
"Well, Master Host, this is a secret."
