◎Motion and Stillness◎
The red tea soup rippled slightly, and Fen's image appeared in the tea soup.
She finished brewing two cups of black tea, picked up the teacups, and placed them on the marble coffee table.
“I remember you like black tea. Try it, it tastes good.” Ouyang Zhu picked up the black tea and took a sip.
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "It's alright, I'm not picky."
“When I first met you, you were just a tiny little thing. In the blink of an eye, I’ve grown old, and you’ve grown up too,” Ouyang Zhu said with emotion.
Jiang Mu leaned back in his chair, not drinking any black tea. "Please speak frankly, Chairman Ouyang."
"What is your purpose in coming to this art exhibition? Why did you suddenly contact people from Guihui?" Ouyang Zhu asked directly.
“Even if I told you directly that I was interested in the art exhibition, you wouldn’t believe me.”
"Of course I don't believe it, you know why," Ouyang Zhu sneered.
Jiang Mu looked out the window. They were in a VIP lounge in the art exhibition. From the lounge window, they could see the entire Guihui Group building.
So magnificent and enormous.
A company that has achieved this level of success has few rivals.
Seeing that Jiang Mu remained silent, Ouyang Zhu continued, "Back then, you caused Guihui so much loss, and now you still dare to appear in front of me?"
Jiang Mu found this amusing: "Losses? You didn't mention how much was preserved. If it weren't for me, would Guihui be this large-scale now?"
"Then you are too greedy and too ruthless."
Jiang Mu held up one finger. "Chairman Ouyang, this is what you've secured."
He then held up another finger. “This is what I got, a one-to-one split. I’m fair and not greedy. I’m just taking what I deserve. If you can’t give it to me, I have to take it myself.”
Ouyang Zhu took a sip of black tea to suppress his emotions, "If we hadn't used you, the Guihui Southwest Market might not have been lost at all back then."
"You don't dare to gamble. It's better to lose only half than to lose everything. Besides, haven't you taken it all back little by little over the years?" Jiang Mu said lazily, lacking energy.
Asking him to come over and just talking about these old, pointless things doesn't really get him excited.
Ouyang Zhu: "Jiang Mu, what exactly is the purpose of your visit to Guihui this time?"
Jiang Mulai did it for Mu and Qing, of course, but he didn't want to say it.
He stood up: "If this is all you wanted to talk about, then we have nothing to discuss. For my brother's sake, let me give you a piece of advice: don't rely too much on external things."
After Jiang Mu finished speaking, he quickly left; he didn't want to stay there.
Only Ouyang Zhu and Secretary Fen remained in the lounge.
Ouyang Zhu walked to the French windows and saw her reflection. Today she did not ask Sifei to do her makeup; she only asked Sifei to do her makeup when necessary.
However, the number of times she needed to be there increased, to the point that her face was often covered with makeup applied by Sifei.
Not dependent on external things? Easier said than done.
Jiang Mu was too young and thought he could do anything.
As he experiences more and more moments of helplessness, he will only want something external to rely on.
“Fen,” Ouyang Zhu called out.
As usual, she prepared to give some instructions, and Fen waited for orders as always.
Ouyang Zhu, however, saw Fen's shadow.
Did that shadow move?
Ouyang Zhu's heart trembled, and she changed what she was about to say, "Go outside and look at the art exhibition, I'll stay here and be quiet."
Fen nodded in agreement, tidied up the tea set, and went out.
Ouyang Zhu's face turned ashen as she dialed a phone number.
…………
Sifei took out a small pink cell phone from her breast pocket. It was an old-fashioned flip phone that glowed when someone made a call.
Mu and Qing breathed a sigh of relief; she had almost thought that Sifei was about to turn into Ultraman.
"Hello? Ouyang, what's wrong? What did you say? I'm coming right now."
Sifei angrily hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Mu Heqing asked.
"It's Yin Yin! He's still here, daring to run wild on my turf. I'll go kill him right now. He Qing, wait for me here." A series of colorful lights flashed in Si Fei's eyes, making her look extremely eerie.
She left with a murderous aura, leaving Mu and Qing alone.
Mu Heqing: ?
There's nothing here, so why should she stay? She doesn't want to wait for Consort Si here.
Consort Si was clearly furious; she walked away quickly and soon disappeared from sight.
Mu and Qing didn't see Si Fei after leaving the house, and she didn't want to chase after her. It would be best if Si Fei could get rid of Yin Yin.
She walked to the elevator, where several workers in gray overalls were carrying a painting covered with a yellow cloth.
This is probably a painting by Sifei.
Mu Heqing stepped aside to let the workers pass. There was more than one elevator on this floor, and she planned to take another one.
Another elevator was on the other side of this floor. Mu and Qing had to walk through a corridor with many paintings covered with cloth, presumably brought up by workers.
They probably put the painting in the hallway first, and then discussed how to display it when Sifei arrived.
As Mu Heqing approached another elevator, she saw Qin You.
Qin You stood there, motionless.
Did they finish arguing?
Mu Heqing didn't want to have any more contact with him, so she pretended not to see him.
But she overheard Qin You speaking.
"It's really, it's perfect."
Mu and Qing paused in their steps.
Qin You was still talking.
"I have never seen such exquisite brushstrokes and artistic conception. This is true art."
Mu Heqing looked at Qin You, who was staring intently at the object in front of him.
Perhaps because the workers had too many paintings to move, the paintings were piled up one by one, and the cloth covering one of the paintings was slightly lifted, revealing a corner.
Qin You somehow happened to pass by and saw this exposed corner.
Mu and Qing quickly blocked Qin You's view and put the yellow cloth back in its original position.
Even when the painting in front of him turned into yellow cloth, Qin You was still staring at it intently.
Seeing only a part of it doesn't mean you're completely lost, right?
Mu Heqing was puzzled. She walked up to Qin You, who seemed to be in a daze, his eyes not moving at all.
He stood upright for two minutes before finally collapsing, his eyes still fixed on the direction of the covered painting.
"It should be fine, right?" Mu Heqing hesitated.
Now that Yin Yin is in Gui Hui, she can't directly let Ouyang Zhu handle it, in case Ouyang Zhu is busy.
Mu and Qing had no choice but to search around the building to see if they could find a security guard and ask him to take Qin You to the hospital.
She is currently on a floor not far from Ouyang Zhu's office, probably for convenience.
Unbeknownst to them, Mu and Qing found themselves near Ouyang Zhu's chairman's office, where a man was squatting in front of it.
Mu and Qing approached and saw that it was Jiang Kaicheng.
Jiang Kaicheng had no sense of image whatsoever. He squatted on the ground, his hands supporting his chin, and his arms resting on his thighs.
Upon seeing Mu and Qing, he turned his head and said, "Oh, it's my little sister. What are you doing here?"
“I’m not your sister,” Mu Heqing retorted. “Chairman Ouyang should be at the art exhibition today, what are you doing squatting here?”
Jiang Kaicheng stood up, shook his leg, and said, "I know, I'll wait for my mom here."
As the only son of the chairman of Guihui Group, he squats here, which is a bit heartbreaking to think about.
Why don't you find somewhere to sit down?
“I’m here, so my mom can see me as soon as she gets back to her office,” Jiang Kaicheng said with a happy smile.
Upon hearing this, Mu Heqing was at a loss for words. This was a family matter between him and Ouyang Zhu, and as an outsider, she had no need to interfere.
However, with Yin Yin here, Jiang Kaicheng might be in danger, so she still advised, "The art exhibition is very busy today, and Chairman Ouyang may not be back. Waiting is pointless."
Mu Heqing meant well in trying to dissuade Jiang Kaicheng, but he didn't expect to hurt Jiang Kaicheng's feelings.
“You’re right, my mom cares more about that girl. I’m just waiting here for nothing.” Jiang Kaicheng frowned sadly.
He sighed and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll come back after the exhibition ends."
Mu Heqing watched him leave with his head down, unable to understand the relationship between Jiang Kaicheng and Ouyang Zhu.
However, it seems that Ouyang Zhu cares more about Guihui Group.
Mu Heqing shook his head, preparing to find another security guard for help, but a few minutes later, Jiang Kaicheng returned, panting and pale, shouting, "Run, little sister!"
"What's wrong?"
"Don't ask so many questions." Jiang Kaicheng dragged Mu Heqing to a corner.
The two ran to a storage room on some unknown floor, and Jiang Kaicheng blocked the door with a mop.
Mu Heqing was also startled and looked at Jiang Kaicheng uneasily.
Jiang Kaicheng took a deep breath. "You won't believe it, but when I got off the elevator just now, I ran into someone. I saw it was my mom's employee, so I didn't pay any attention. But then, that person suddenly got close to me and gave me a fright."
"Then we don't need to run, right?" Mu and Qing thought it was Yin Yin.
"Before I finished speaking, the employee was bent over, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights. When he got close to me, he opened his mouth and his eyes wide open. Suddenly, a black thing flowed out of his mouth and eyes. The thing floated in front of the man's big face, and it looked more like a human face than the man's face itself."
As Jiang Kaicheng spoke, he also widened his eyes and opened his mouth, making vivid movements to try to make Mu and Qing feel the same way.
But Mu and Qing couldn't figure out what it was from his description.
Is it a hidden yin? Mu and Qing were unsure.
Sifei said that Yinyin had arrived, but the description didn't seem to match.
Jiang Kaicheng suddenly slapped his thigh again: "Damn it, why am I hiding here? I need to go see my mom. Let me tell you, sis, this was definitely that girl's doing. That girl is not normal. Aren't you classmates with her? Tell me about her background."
What's their background?
Mu Heqing was still organizing her thoughts when Jiang Kaicheng spoke up again, "Never mind, why did I ask you? You look so clueless, you probably don't know either."
She was called an idiot by a fool, and Mu and Qing twitched their lips.
Jiang Kaicheng moved the mop aside and peeked out.
"Chairman Ouyang must have a lot of security guards around him, so don't worry too much," Mu Heqing advised.
Now that Consort Si is gone, she certainly won't let Ouyang Zhu get into trouble, after all, she still needs Ouyang Zhu.
In comparison, the two of them are in more danger. Li Shi is not here, and they don't know what's outside. The two of them are just ordinary people, and they can only wait here.
Mu and Qing worship Li Shi, and can exchange items for money, power, and fame. Li Shi himself is a capable fighter, but he can't fly over.
Money is useless in a critical moment.
Mu and Qing recalled the painting that Bao Lisifei had given them.
