Having no chance to get in touch with Qin Shengyi, Mu Yichen returned to his previous aimless and listless lifestyle, spending all his time in bars.
Just as he was preparing to move on to another location, he was suddenly called home by a phone call.
"Yichen, good news! The Ouyang family has given us a big project, conservatively estimated to yield a profit of thirty million, saying it's as a way of repaying them..."
Mu Yichen suddenly looked up. "So you signed it?"
“That’s right, why wouldn’t we take a business that’s practically handed to us?” The old man was taken aback by the question and asked back, not quite understanding. He nodded smugly and said, “You know, a lot of people were eyeing this project, but no one expected it to fall into our hands!”
Damn it!
Mu Yichen couldn't help but curse under his breath, his handsome face contorted with anger. He regretted not explaining the whole story to his family in time, which allowed the Ouyang family to take advantage of the situation.
Now that the contract has been signed, I can no longer use the life-saving debt as an excuse.
"Then let me take charge of this project."
The father hesitated slightly, "Son, are you sure? This project is quite complicated..."
“If it’s complicated, you can just arrange a couple more assistants to help me,” Mu Yichen waved his hand without giving a chance to argue, his tone leaving no room for doubt, “Anyway, I have to be the overall person in charge of this project!”
Although the other party did not say it explicitly, he knew that the Ouyang family actually disliked him for being idle. Since that was the case, he had to prove himself to the Ouyang family.
Projects like these usually take a long time to complete, and perhaps during this process I can find an opportunity to spend time with Qin Shengyi, which would be a win-win situation.
"Son, you're not still thinking about Qin Shengyi, are you?"
Mu Yichen nodded without hesitation, then raised an eyebrow with interest before asking, "Aren't you satisfied with this daughter-in-law?"
He certainly wanted to become in-laws with the Ouyang family, but since they had already made such a firm statement, it was clear that they would not agree to the marriage.
The father hesitated for a moment, knowing more or less about his son's behavior outside, so this outcome was expected.
This cold response immediately displeased Mu Yichen, and his tone was filled with displeasure, "Alright, this matter is settled then."
"Have someone provide me with the relevant project information as soon as possible; I need to get started quickly."
After saying that, Mu Yichen resolutely turned around and went upstairs.
...
Jiang Zhengyu rarely had time at noon, so he invited Xu Yanshu to lunch together, and the two of them also invited He Wen.
"That's right. Since you've decided to go back, why can't you be more open about it? If you don't explain it clearly beforehand, who knows what kind of rumors might arise later."
Perhaps I haven't considered things thoroughly enough.
Xu Yanshu shrugged helplessly, not intending to explain anything further, and then he picked up his wine glass and took a small sip.
He thought that returning to the Zhou family would give him a chance to be recognized by the Ouyang family, but now it seems that he had oversimplified things.
In this way, it seems that whether or not they go back doesn't make much sense... And given the current level of attention the Zhou family receives online, once they officially announce their identities to the outside world, it will definitely trigger a series of chain reactions.
Noticing Xu Yanshu's low spirits, Jiang Zhengyu quickly guessed the reason after a moment's thought. He then finished his drink and spoke.
"Time will tell, and some things can't be rushed. As long as my sister is on your side, and you don't easily give up, I believe that one day you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel!"
Although my aunt and uncle are so determined now, they still need to put in effort to make the revolution succeed, it would be a great pity to give up so easily in the future.
"Yes, isn't there a saying that all lovers in the world will eventually be united?"
"As long as you and Shengyi continue to like and understand each other, I believe you will eventually get married!" He Wen nodded in agreement.
Yes, at least the girl has always been on his side.
Xu Yanshu felt somewhat comforted, and he was unwilling to remain immersed in negative emotions.
Once the topic was dropped, Jiang Zhengyu began to share his recent encounters with some bizarre clients, and the atmosphere in the private room gradually eased.
“Speaking of which, I also need to remind you of something,” Jiang Zhengyu said, looking at Xu Yanshu with a serious expression. “That is, you must be very careful to guard against Zhou Zehao.”
"The reason he hasn't made any big moves lately is probably because he's afraid of being caught red-handed by Zhou Shengyu. But once you return to the Zhou family and start to genuinely threaten his real interests, he will definitely take action!"
Judging from all that has happened before, Zhou Zehao is a person who does things without any scruples, and he doesn't actually have much fear of Zhou Shengyu. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made several moves after Xu Yanshu arrived in Rongcheng.
Xu Yanshu nodded thoughtfully, his eyes gradually becoming deeply wary.
On the surface, Zhou Zehao has been behaving himself all this time, but in reality, he has been involved in many things, but no evidence has been found.
Do you know when Shengyi's flight is?
"Next Monday."
...
Soon it was time for Qin Shengyi to officially leave the country. Despite the fact that it was not necessary, Ouyang Ming and his wife still insisted on sending their daughter to the airport.
