Chapter 167 I Met Her
Mu Yuan searched for Dongcheng in a book last year.
They are all travel bloggers sharing local scenery.
There are continuous high mountains, groups of sitting Buddhas handed down from hundreds of years ago, winding and magical city roads, passionate and vigorous customs and practices, and famous spicy food.
She witnessed the best years of Dongcheng.
So now, we see it in a dilapidated state with thousands of holes and cracks in the ground.
I have mixed feelings.
Not just her.
All the experts from all walks of life who participated in the restoration operation fell into silence.
On the bus.
There was a heavy silence.
When you are almost at your destination.
Mu Yuan looked out the car window at the temporary "dormitory" built with containers.
The secretary of the association and the main person in charge of this restoration operation: Secretary Zhou.
At this time, he stood up from the front seat and turned sideways to face everyone. "Everyone, the disaster situation in East City is severe, so the environment and resources are facing limitations. This dormitory was built for everyone by the well-known construction company Gu Group at their own expense. It solves our urgent housing problem."
Everyone got off the bus one after another.
Mu Yuan just got off the car and caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.
He turned his head and looked towards the intersection.
Another car came, but it was not a bus, but an off-road vehicle.
The passenger door opened.
The boy with the eye-catching red hair blowing in the wind exudes a rebellious and flamboyant spirit from the inside out.
This made Mu Yuan's eyes widen slightly.
Gu Chenyi? !
How did he get here?
While she was surprised.
Gu Chenyi, who had just gotten out of the car and squinted his eyes to try to block out the wind and sand, also saw her.
The narrowed brown eyes widened, and the handsome features were immediately filled with endless surprise.
Mu Yuan didn't even have time to avoid the gaze.
Watch him jump out of the car and stride over.
She was obviously surrounded by people.
But Gu Chenyi ignored everyone and didn't look at anyone.
He walked straight past Secretary Zhou who was trying to greet him.
Walk straight up to her.
I could sense the curious glances from the people around me.
Mu Yuan's scalp was numb, but she gritted her teeth and took the initiative to say politely, "Hello, Mr. Gu."
Gu Chenyi didn't mind her alienation.
He raised his left eyebrow and pursed his lips in delight: "Why are you here?"
It was as if the sunlight was also infected by his joy. The clouds dispersed, and the unobstructed sunlight fell on his face, making his smile glow and especially brilliant.
Mu Yuan's almond-shaped eyes swayed slightly, and her lips opened slightly: "I will participate in the recovery operation."
Secretary Zhou, who was standing by, quickly stepped over and said, "Second Young Master, because Engineer Mu is a leader in plant research, we've invited her to come and support us this time."
Gu Chenyi understood. He had never expected that he would encounter such a surprise when he was forced to come here on behalf of the Gu Group.
Gu Chenyi's gaze was too focused and too targeted.
Mu Yuan lowered her eyelashes slightly, avoiding his burning gaze: "Well, I'm here to support you."
Secretary Zhou looked at the atmosphere between them.
Notice something.
He smiled and said, "Second Young Master, you've arrived just in time. I was just thinking of organizing everyone to take a group photo together. After all, today is the first day of the recovery operation, which is of great significance."
Gu Chenyi responded cheerfully: "Then shoot."
"Yeah, okay."
Secretary Zhou turned around and organized everyone: "Teachers, please stand together. Let's take a group photo as a souvenir."
Everyone agreed and stood up one after another.
Mu Yuan has been standing at the edge since the beginning.
It wasn't until everyone lined up that she moved closer to the people at the edge.
But, the next second.
Gu Chenyi followed.
Secretary Zhou looked over and saw Gu Chenyi standing right next to the mouth. He hurriedly called out humorously, "Hey, Second Young Master, thanks to Gu's company for solving our accommodation problem this time. As someone who has made such a great contribution, you have to take the center position."
Someone else echoed: "Yes, yes, how can such a great hero stand at the edge."
Gu Chenyi's gaze fell on Mu Yuan's fair face.
With a bright smile, he politely declined: "It's just a small favor. You are the ones who have contributed to the disaster area. I only contributed money but not effort, so I can just stand by and do the work."
Secretary Zhou glanced at Mu Yuan next to him again.
After all, he is an expert in diplomacy and interpersonal communication.
It can be seen that Gu Chenyi deliberately wanted to stand next to Mu Yuan.
I didn't insist anymore.
Everyone looked at the camera together.
Mu Yuan also looked over.
Yu Guangzhong.
Gu Chenyi's gaze was still on her face.
She curled her slender fingers that hung on both sides of her body and pretended not to notice.
Until the camera made a 'click' sound.
Mu Yuancai hurriedly retreated.
Secretary Zhou was distributing the keys to the containers that everyone was about to move into.
It should have been a collective dormitory, but Gu was generous and prepared an independent container for each person to ensure the experts' rest.
So everyone doesn't need to share a dormitory.
It’s Mu Yuan’s turn now.
Secretary Zhou glanced at her, then turned his wrist and didn't take the key closest to his hand. Instead, he took the key to the rearmost container and handed it to her, saying meaningfully, "Engineer Mu, I've assigned you the container on the far right of the second floor."
Mu Yuan didn't hear the hidden meaning in his words. After taking the key, she raised her lips slightly and said thank you: "Okay, thank you."
She gripped the key tightly and was about to push the suitcase.
Suddenly, a hand crossed over from the side.
He took a quicker step and grabbed the suitcase handle.
Mu Yuan's expression froze for a moment, and she glanced sideways at Gu Chenyi who was approaching.
He raised the corners of his lips, his smile rippling with a dragging air: "I'll help you."
"No need, I can do it myself." Mu Yuan wanted to snatch it back.
Gu Chenyi turned around and walked towards the makeshift iron ladder with his luggage.
Mu Yuan frowned slightly and quickly looked around.
fine.
Everyone was looking for their own containers and didn't pay attention to her.
Watching Gu Chenyi easily lift the container onto the iron ladder with one hand.
Mu Yuan gritted his teeth and had no choice but to follow.
Go to the second floor, on the far right.
Mu Yuan only then realized that she was in the second to last container.
And at the very end, next to hers, there was one last box.
She subconsciously looked at the crowd.
Wondering who lives next door to her.
Seeing this, Gu Chenyi smiled and said, "No need to look, I live next door to you."
Mu Yuan was instantly surprised.
"What's that look? Don't believe it?"
After Gu Chenyi finished speaking, he hooked his fingertips around the key that Zhou Mi had just handed to him and shook it in the air.
Then he turned his wrist and grasped the key neatly.
He opened the lock in front of Mu Yuan.
Looking at the open door.
Mu Yuan: ...It’s really him who lives there.
Isn’t it too coincidental?
She won't know.
This was a special arrangement made by the shrewd Secretary Zhou.
He quickly adjusted his expression and said in a clear voice, "Oh, give me the luggage, thank you."
She reached out to retrieve her luggage.
But Gu Chenyi quickly pulled the suitcase back.
Don't give it to her, smile playfully: "Thank you on the left, thank you on the right, we are so familiar with each other, why are you still being polite?"
Exposed.
Mu Yuan could no longer hold back the alienated expression on her face.
She glared at him warningly, "Sorry, I don't think we're that close yet."
