Chapter 328 329 Regret the past, one move short of success

All the people at the red table meeting were seated.

The people at the back also sat down one by one, only Mu Zhendong was still standing there, which was very abrupt.

Beside him, Minister Xu glanced at Mu Zhendong, "Mr. Mu?"

He suppressed his voice.

Mu Zhendong came back to his senses, sat down in a daze, and his eyes were still on Mu Yiling.

Purifying uranium from seawater is a big project, and even the Gao family wants to get a piece of it. They specially found Mu Zhendong and wanted to insert people through him.

Mu Zhendong has been busy for this project from the Chinese New Year to now, for three or four months.

Today he can sit here and listen to the meeting.

Who would have thought that Mu Yiling actually sat directly on the red table where the parties were talking.

How did she get in?

The project manager sitting in the middle began to speak, introducing the guests one by one, "Executive representative Academician You Xinzheng, Vice President of the Academy of Sciences Mr. Xu Lixin..."

"Ms. Mu Yiying, Executive President of Mu Corporation."

In front of a bunch of honorable mentions, Mu Yiying, the Executive President of Mu Corporation, seemed extremely indifferent.

The people behind were asking why Mu Yiying was here.

Minister Xu next to Mu Zhendong was also extremely shocked, and couldn't help but look at Mu Zhendong, wanting to find out something.

But Mu Zhendong could no longer concentrate on listening to what they were saying. After

two hours, the meeting ended.

The person directly responsible for the project took the initiative to find Mu Yiying to chat, "President Mu, I have booked a lunch next door, let's chat together."

Behind them, a bunch of people went to find You Xinzheng.

Mu Zhendong was still sitting there. He looked at several project leaders around Mu Yixi.

It can be seen that these people were very polite to Mu Yixi.

After Mu Yixi left, many people came to greet Mu Zhendong, most of whom were people Mu Zhendong knew.

The familiar Minister Xu also came with two people, "Zhendong, this is Vice Dean Xu."

It has been a long time since the Mu family has seen researchers of this level.

After Mu Zhendong was stunned for a moment, he quickly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Xu Lixin, "Dean Xu, hello, I am Mu Zhendong."

"Mr. Mu." The two shook hands briefly, and Xu Lixin took the initiative to exchange contact information with Mu Zhendong.

Mu Zhendong went out in a daze with the flow of people, and the secretary who had been waiting outside saw Mu Zhendong from a distance.

He came forward after everyone had dispersed. The secretary said hesitantly, "I just seemed to see the eldest lady..."

Mu Zhendong's secretary naturally knew who were the people here today.

So he was surprised when he saw Mu Yiqing, and thought he had seen it wrong.

Mu Zhendong didn't say anything after hearing this.

He just walked towards his car in a daze. He was full of energy when he came, but now he was not at all energetic.

Seeing him like this, the secretary immediately realized that he was not mistaken, and that the person just now was really Mu Yiqing.

This trip has exceeded his expectations.

Mu Zhendong got into the car uneasily.

At noon, he made an appointment with the Gao family.

**

Mu Zhendong arrived at the private room.

He originally thought that at noon, just like before, only Mu Youjun would come.

Unexpectedly, not only Mu Youjun came, but also Gao Yi.

In all these years in the Mu family, Mu Zhendong had only seen Gao Yi a few times.

That was more than 20 years ago, when the Mu family was in its heyday.

After the Mu family declined, Gao Yi never came again. Not to mention him, Mu Youjun came back only a few times a year.

"Mr. Gao." Mu Zhendong came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted Gao Yi respectfully.

He was surprised that Gao Yi would come.

"Don't be polite to me." Gao Yi was wearing casual clothes, with a faint smile on his face. He raised his hand and invited Mu Zhendong to sit down, looking quite polite.

The Gao family's current status in Jiangjing is comparable to that of the Xu family.

When have they been so polite to the Mu family?

Mu Zhendong was a little flattered, and for a moment he couldn't even think about Mu Yiqun. He sat down and talked to Gao Yi.

After the meal was over, Gao Yi had something to do

and left first. Mu Youjun stayed to talk to Mu Zhendong alone.

She was wearing a decent black dress and a snow-white shawl today, and watched Gao Yi's car leave.

When Gao Yi got in the car, he looked at Mu Zhendong and said with a smile, "500 pure iridium, and other rare metals, we are all family. If you have such a large quantity in the future, you can discuss it with us."

After that, he got in the car and left.

Mu Youjun slowly turned around, twirled her shawl, glanced at him, and frowned: "Where is Yiqing? Why didn't she come with you?"

Mu Youjun specifically asked Mu Zhendong to call her yesterday, but Mu Zhendong didn't call her because of his own thoughts.

Mu Zhendong was confused.

He was not stupid. He felt that something had changed when he saw Mu Yiqing at the meeting, but he really couldn't figure out why Mu Yiqing could sit there. The only explanation he could think of was that Mu Xianguang took action. It was

also very strange. Mu Xianguang didn't even leave the temple, so how could he know the new generation?

Until Gao Yi's words just now, he completely understood.

Mu Yiqing has a large amount of rare metals, so much that she is considered a key personnel in the seawater uranium extraction project, so much that even the Gao family can't help but be moved...

Therefore, Mu Yiqing can sit on the red table meeting!

Minister Xu brought Xu Lixin to see him!

Even Gao Yi came in person...

...

It was spring and the weather was warm and the people in Jiangjing took off their heavy down jackets, but Mu Zhendong broke out in a cold sweat.

It took him so long to negotiate a small batch of rare metals, and the other party hasn't signed the contract yet. Mu Yiqing...

Where did she come from?

**

Jiangjing has been in a state of turmoil recently, and the news spreads very quickly in the circle.

The Mu family's economy was on the rise before, and most people just laughed it off.

Now the Mu family has put out enough capital to cooperate with Chonggong, which involves several research institutes behind him. Anyone with a long-term vision can see that there is a master behind the Mu family this time.

The Xu family naturally received the news.

At the meeting in the evening, Mr. Xu looked at Xu Nanjing: "Nanjing, have you been discussing cooperation with the Mu family recently?"

Even this old man was surprised by Xu Nanjing's sharpness.

"Yes," Xu Nanjing raised his eyes, his tone calm, "The Second Research Institute is discussing with them in further detail."

Xu Nanjing was the next heir decided on the old man's birthday last year, directly bypassing the grandson decided by Xu Jueling and Xu Jueming. Xu Nanjing's status in the Xu family has always been very high.

No one could have predicted what happened to the Mu family, and Xu Jueming did not receive any news at all.

The Xu family has a new understanding of Xu Nanjing's methods.

Listening to Xu Nanjing's words, Xu Jueming couldn't help but look up and look at him more, trying to see what he was thinking.

He wanted to know how the Mu family turned the tables, and he wanted to know how Xu Nanjing could turn the tables.

The third young master Xu was used to following Jiang Fuli's group of people. His eyebrows were indifferent and there was no trace of emotion.

After the family dinner, Xu Nanjing took the key and went out.

Xu Jinyi caught up with Gao Yan.

**

It was Friday evening, and it rained in Jiangjing.

Cultural Bureau.

Time to get off work.

Dean Jian has been here today, and Deputy Director Liang is waiting for him to get off work together.

He didn't even glance at Dong's father when he passed by.

Last year, because of Dong Chuan and the Mu family, Deputy Director Liang was very caring towards Dong's father, and his colleagues thought he would be promoted soon.

"Did you offend Deputy Director Liang?" someone asked in a low voice. There are not many people who are close to Dong's father recently.

How would Dong's father know? After thinking about it, the most likely thing is Ren Wanxuan's matter.

After he left, he called Dong Xiaobai. The Ren Wanxuan incident happened too long ago, and the book association couldn't hide it. No matter what the reason was, it would have a great impact on her. People in the circle were making

rumors recently. The Dong family attaches great importance to family style. They all think that the Mu family is making a fuss. The family can solve the problem behind closed doors. Wouldn't it be a joke to make it public?

"I really can't control this matter," Dong Xiaobai refused directly this time. "When you and dad chose to keep Ren Wanxuan, you should have expected the worst case scenario."

Dong Xiaobai hung up the phone.

Looking at Mu Yixiang next to him, he quickly said, "I really don't want to speak for him."

"Well," Mu Yixiang pressed his brows and went to get the car keys, "buy some things and go to Shanhai Apartment."

This time, Dong Xiaobai didn't dare to say no.

**

Jiang Da.

Jiang Fuli and Ma Tongfeng set out in the early morning, and not many people knew about this.

Bai Di had already known about this from He Wen in advance.

There were many people in the school, and because of the sudden rain in the afternoon, most of the students did not bring umbrellas, and the students were crowded at the door.

Only one person stood on the left, holding a long-handled umbrella from the car, standing in the dusk rain curtain, surrounded by mist, with a calm and unhurried posture, noble and elegant .

The crowded door seemed to be slowed down.

Seeing Jiang Fuli, Bai Di took a few steps forward, and Jiang Fuli moved the umbrella to the side.

The two went down the stairs together.

Rainy days are always quiet.

Bai Shi looked at his clean fingers holding the handle of the umbrella, and remembered that it was a rainy night like this last year when she first went to Xiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.

"Look at this?" Jiang Fuli glanced at the jade ring on his thumb.

It looked a bit rustic, with spring-water-colored jade and a dragon pattern on the top.

It looked quite rich, but it looked particularly elegant in his hands.

Bai Shi came back to her senses and saw that he was wearing a ring unexpectedly today. "No."

Jiang Fuli seemed not to hear him, and took off the ring with his other hand and handed it to Bai Shi's palm, "Look closer."

The ring was green with purple, and it felt a little cool.

Bai Shi held it in his hand and played with it for a while.

Ming Dongheng, who was waiting by the car and opening the door for the two, watched Bai Shi playing with the ring in her hand. He thought it was going to fall to the ground several times.

His temples twitched visibly several times.

**

103.

Ji Heng's embroidery frames were all placed in the yard. The Concubine Yu on the embroidery frame had been completely embroidered. The few strokes left by Jiang Fuli before were also left abruptly on it, which did not seem particularly incongruous.

Dean Jian went straight to Shanhai Apartment as soon as he got off work.

At this moment, he put his hands behind his back and bent over to look at the design drawing that Ji Heng drew for him.

The Chinese robe with a stand-up collar and the dark pattern of the 21-string guzheng, just this design drawing gave off an ancient aura.

Ji Heng put down the drawing pencil and looked up at the rain outside.

Raindrops fell obliquely, landing on the glass in the courtyard of 103, leaving mottled water marks.

"The rain is getting heavier." Ji Heng narrowed his eyes, picked up the cigarette bag beside him, and slowly stuffed the cigarette into it.

Next to him, Jiang He sat on the stairs, holding his cabbage schoolbag, tilting his head to read a picture book.

Lao Hu put a plate of nuts next to him and peeled a small plate of walnut kernels and almonds for him. He bit the walnut kernels in small bites.

The gate of Shanhai Apartment.

Mu Yiqing drove into this road.

At the gate, I saw a boy wearing the uniform of Jiangjing High School. He was carrying a black schoolbag on one shoulder. He was tall and straight, with a few silver highlights on his black hair. He had beautiful eyes and eyebrows. People passing by couldn't help but turn their heads. There was also a female student from University City who secretly took a photo with her mobile phone.

Opposite him was a bald man in his thirties.

The weather was over ten degrees, and the man was only wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, revealing his blue arms. He was holding a lit cigarette in his hand, and he didn't look like a decent guy.

He was handing two exquisite square iron boxes to Zhang Shize.

Bai Shi's group of people looked like excellent students. Zhang Shize and Mu Yiqi had also heard Ji Heng mention that they were going to apply to the School of Political Science and Law with good grades.

Mu Yiqi quickly stopped the car at the gate, honked the horn, and asked Zhang Shize to get in the car.

Zhang Shize always respected Bai Shi's relatives. He didn't know much about it, but he still pushed his head to get in the car.

Mu Yiqi waited for Zhang Shize to get in the car before stepping on the accelerator and entering the community.

Before leaving, she and Dong Xiaobai looked at Li Sheng warily.

Li Sheng finally understood Mu Yiqing's expression: "..."

Sometimes he really wanted to call the police.

**

"Just call him Uncle Dong." Outside the door of 103, Mu Yiqing carried a gift bag and introduced Dong Xiaobai to Zhang Shize.

And pressed the doorbell.

Zhang Shize grinned and called "Uncle Dong".

It was quite early at this time, and there were not many people in the hall. It was Lao Hu who opened the door.

Mu Yiqing had never seen Lao Hu before and was stunned.

But Zhang Shize greeted him very familiarly, "Uncle Hu."

Lao Hu smiled and nodded at Zhang Shize, "You are going to take the college entrance examination, right?"

"It will be released next month." Zhang Shize saw Ji Heng and Dean Jian in the yard, and walked into the yard.

When passing by Jiang He, she bent down and took all the peeled nuts on his plate in her hands and swallowed them in one bite.

Jiang He's little hands touched nothing.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Jian," Zhang Shize said while eating walnut kernels, greeting the two old men, "This is the new tobacco this year. Grandpa said that you, Grandpa Jian, also like it, so I asked someone to bring an extra box."

As he spoke, Zhang Shize showed the two of them two 30-centimeter-high square iron boxes.

Ji Heng and Dean Jian temporarily put down their embroidery.

They opened the cigarette boxes and looked at the tobacco inside.

Dean Jian no longer pestered Ji Heng to draw another small zither for him, and wanted to roll one to try.

In the hall, Mu Yiqing and Dong Xiaobai put their things down.

Shen Qing was making tea for them, and Dong Xiaobai was standing up to thank Shen Qing.

Dean Jian in the yard turned sideways, and Dong Xiaobai happened to see his face. He was stunned for a moment, and then he was moved: "This... Dean Jian?"

He is a member of the Dong family, and his brother still works in the Cultural Bureau, so he naturally knows Jian Zhongyou. He

is notoriously difficult to approach.

Only the president of the Calligraphy Association is familiar with him.

The Dong family would rather make friends with the Liang family, and never thought of taking advantage of Dean Jian.

"Dean Jian, A-Xi's close friend," Shen Qing put the teapot back, "is asking A-Xi's grandfather to make performance clothes for him recently."
