Chapter 29: The Hongmen Banquet
After breakfast, as usual, Yun Jin cleaned up the dishes and Mu Lingfeng went back to his room to change clothes.
After changing his clothes, Mu Lingfeng picked up the tie that Yun Jin had given him yesterday, looked at it, then compared it with his collar, put it down, and picked up a tie of his own to tie it on.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Yun Jin came out and saw that Mu Lingfeng was not wearing the tie she gave him yesterday. She felt a little disappointed.
But then, Yun Jin put the matter behind her. With a wealthy family like Mu Lingfeng, there must be countless ties at home, many of which are more advanced than the one she gave him yesterday. What reason did she have to force him to wear the one she gave him?
On the way to the company, Mu Lingfeng, contrary to his usual practice, did not ask Yun Jin about the company's business. Yun Jin was free and began to close his eyes and doze off.
Although Blue Mountain Bay is much closer to the Mu Mansion and Yunshang Huating, Yun Jin would study until 12 o'clock every night in order to familiarize herself with the business as quickly as possible and meet Mu Lingfeng's requirements.
She goes to bed at 12 o'clock and gets up at 6 o'clock in the morning. Her sleep time of 6 hours a day is two hours less than Yunjin's previous sleep time. It would be strange if she didn't doze off.
Mu Lingfeng, who had been looking at his phone, glanced at Yun Jin who had her eyes closed beside him, thought for a moment, and did not speak.
Yun Jin was about to fall asleep when she was woken up by a rapid phone call. After taking a look at the caller ID, Yun Jin hesitated whether she should answer the call.
On the other end of the phone was Sister Li, a famous gossip expert in the branch. Yun Jin was worried that if the other party said something bad and Mu Lingfeng heard it, both of them would be in trouble.
After all, besides being a great gossipmonger, Sister Li also has a very loud voice.
"Why don't you answer it?" Seeing Yun Jin staring at the phone in a daze, Mu Lingfeng asked.
Turning his head to look at Mu Lingfeng, Yun Jin made up his mind and answered the phone.
Given Mu Lingfeng's stingy personality, if she didn't answer the phone now, he would definitely think that she had done something bad behind his back and that was why she didn't dare to answer the phone.
In order to prevent Mu Lingfeng from thinking that he was trying to hide something, Yun Jin had to answer the phone.
"Yunjin, why did you take so long to answer the phone?" As soon as the call was connected, I heard Sister Li's complaints.
"I'm in a crowded subway and it's a bit inconvenient. Sister Li, do you have something to talk to me about?" Yun Jin glanced at Mu Lingfeng next to him guiltily and responded.
Seeing Mu Lingfeng staring at her with a half-smile, Yun Jin's heart trembled slightly.
Just die, no matter what, I can't tell Sister Li that I am sitting in President Mu's car. With Sister Li's gossipy personality, as soon as I say it, the matter will spread throughout the entire branch.
Although the nature of my current job does require me to do this, it is better to have less trouble than more. I say this to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Strictly speaking, Mu Lingfeng should be grateful to me.
Yunjin started to build up herself in her heart.
"I'm on the subway. Let me make it short. Your boyfriend Zhao Yun came to the company to look for you yesterday, but I drove him away. I want to ask if there was a conflict between you two. If he comes today, what should I do?"
After briefly describing the scene of Zhao Yun coming to the company yesterday on the phone, Sister Li asked about Yun Jin.
After Zhao Yun left yesterday, Sister Li planned to call Yun Jin to tell her, but then she became busy and forgot about it.
On the way to the company this morning, Sister Li thought of this matter and decided to ask Yunjin.
"Sister Li, I have broken up with him. If he comes again, you can just shoo him away or call the police. There is no need to consider my feelings."
When Yun Jin heard Sister Li mention Zhao Yun, she felt nauseous and spoke mercilessly into the microphone.
"We broke up, that's great. To be honest, I've always disliked that guy, but I couldn't say anything before because of you."
"It's better to break up. I'll introduce you to someone later. I guarantee he'll be many times better than Zhao Yun."
Hearing Yunjin say that she had broken up with Zhao Yun, Sister Li said enthusiastically.
Knowing that Sister Li would never stop talking once she started, Yun Jin hurriedly stopped her and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Sister Li. It's very crowded here, so I won't say more to you. We can talk more later."
"Okay, I won't keep you any longer. Goodbye." Sister Li hung up the phone promptly on the other end.
"I didn't realize that Secretary Yun is still a popular commodity. We just broke up and someone has introduced you to a new target." After Yun Jin hung up the phone, Mu Lingfeng said in a sarcastic tone.
Yun Jin knew clearly that Mu Lingfeng had heard most of their conversation. Although she felt uncomfortable, she didn't know what to say.
Yun Jin smiled faintly at Mu Lingfeng and lowered his head to look at his cell phone.
Mu Lingfeng, who was looking for trouble, snorted softly after seeing Yun Jin's reaction and continued to look at his phone.
After the car drove for a few minutes, Yunjin's phone rang again.
This time, Mu Lingfeng did not look up again.
After glancing at Mu Lingfeng who was looking down at his phone, Yun Jin picked up the call.
A minute later, Yun Jin's refusal came from the car: "Mom, I don't want to go. I don't want to meet that family."
It was unknown what Zhang Guilan said on the phone, and Yun Jin said helplessly: "Okay, then send me the location and I'll go there after get off work."
After hanging up the phone, Yun Jin sighed softly, and then asked Mu Lingfeng for leave: "Mr. Mu, I have something to do tonight, so I can't have dinner with you."
After hearing Yun Jin say this, Mu Lingfeng raised his head. After seeing the faint sadness on Yun Jin's face, Mu Lingfeng suppressed the words of rejection.
Staring at Yun Jin, Mu Lingfeng said calmly, "Okay."
Looking at Yun Jin's expression, Mu Lingfeng wanted to ask: "What happened? Why are you so unhappy?"
But after thinking about it, Mu Lingfeng held back his words of concern.
Given his position, it seemed like the wrong question to ask.
Sitting at his workstation, Yun Jin thought about where he was going after get off work, and felt depressed. If things went as expected, tonight's party would be another Hongmen Banquet.
But I don’t know if this time will be as outrageous as last time?
Yunjin’s thoughts went back to an incident that happened half a year ago.
