Chapter 26 Conversation
By the time Mu Jia's leg was almost healed, it was almost the twelfth lunar month.
During this period, Mu Jia kept in touch with Lin Nuo online.
"Senior, why didn't you tell me about your leg injury?" On the first day of removing the bandage, Mu Jia went to the gate of Lin Nuo's school to wait for him.
Lin Nuo came out of the school and thought of the message she sent before she came, and asked subconsciously.
He had been busy revising his thesis for over a month. Even though Mu Jia hadn't asked him out, he was still racing against time to prepare for graduation and had indeed neglected this relationship.
Mu Jia pursed his lips.
Maybe the person you meet on a blind date is indeed different from the person you get to know after actually getting to know each other and formally confessing your love to each other.
For the past half month, she subconsciously didn't want to trouble him.
Maybe they're worried about his graduation...
So I had to say, "Your graduation is more important. It's not convenient for me to come out, so just contacting you online is also fine."
Lin Nuo felt a little guilty and took a step forward to hold her hand. "Then let's go to the nearby financial street this afternoon. I happen to have an interview there... Is your leg comfortable?"
Mu Jia shook his head, "My leg is fine."
——
I had originally wanted to go hiking during my annual leave, but I didn't expect Lin Nuo to have an interview. Mu Jia thought about it and decided to prioritize his business.
"Aren't you planning on staying on campus to get a doctorate? Why are you having another interview?"
The two of them were walking and talking, and Mu Jia asked casually.
"I'm planning to get a PhD, but I'm thinking of sending out resumes as well. If there's a suitable opportunity, I'll start working first. So, I'm prepared for both situations."
Mu Jia also agreed with this choice.
She felt that Lin Nuo was a relatively motivated person and more realistic. He might not be able to accept a long-term boring academic life, and studying for a doctorate would put a lot of pressure on his family.
The two of them soon arrived downstairs of the company.
"Senior, I'm sorry. You took annual leave specifically to come here, but I asked you to accompany me for an interview..." Lin Nuo stopped downstairs and gave her a light hug.
This was the second relatively intimate contact between them after they confirmed their relationship.
"It's okay," Mu Jia looked around. "On weekdays, I usually work hard in the cubicle upstairs. Now walking on the street is a different feeling."
As she spoke, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Mu Jia never expected that he would meet Xie Siyan here on a weekday.
She suddenly became a little nervous.
Even Lin Nuo beside him noticed it and turned his head to look back, "Senior, what's wrong?"
Mu Jia shook his head, "It's okay."
She gave him a quick empty hug, then took a step back and urged, "Hurry up and go up, don't be late."
Lin Nuo's figure completely disappeared at the entrance of the building.
Mu Jiacai turned around and looked in the direction he had just been looking at.
Xie Siyan was dressed in a suit and tie, and a group of people followed him.
Like a business dinner.
Zhou Xu was also in the crowd, with a warm smile on his face. When she looked over, he even curled his lips at her.
Only then did Mu Jia realize that this building seemed to be near Zhou Xu's company.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the building behind her again.
Not such a coincidence, right?
Mu Jia rarely saw Xie Siyan socializing.
He always had the demeanor of a mountain and snow-capped mountains, but unexpectedly, when socializing, he seemed polite and well-mannered, and not the aloof person she had imagined.
Xie Siyan quickly said goodbye to the people behind him.
The only people left in the distance were him, Zhou Xu, and the assistant behind him.
At this time, Mu Jia felt him looking back and looking in her direction again.
The expression was cold, as if he wanted to kill someone. Mu Jia only took a glance at him, then quickly turned around and hurried towards the small woods next to him.
Anyway, they don't matter anymore.
She didn't want to upset him.
——
Xie Siyan stopped there for a while.
From that look, the assistant could sense that the atmosphere was not right.
When the two turned around and went upstairs, Zhou Xu came over to gossip, "Those two seem to be quite in love. Why don't you just forget it?"
The air was eerily quiet.
The only sound left was the elevator car starting to move upwards.
Xie Siyan's expression was as cold as if covered with frost and snow.
"Will you die if you don't speak?"
"You won't die if you don't talk," Zhou Xu said, still daring to talk nonsense in this situation, "but it will make you feel suffocated. That little boy is quite good-looking, mainly because he's tender. Hey, I told you before, your style won't always be popular. There will always be people who don't like it, you see..."
Xie Siyan interrupted him.
"Find me someone."
"You mean..."
"He just went upstairs to your building." Xie Siyan turned around, glanced at him, and gave him an ultimatum, "Two days."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the elevator first.
Zhou Xu looked at his background.
Depend on.
Two days.
Why doesn't he ask a private detective to do the job for him?
Doesn't he have to pay?
——
Two days later.
Zhou Xu reluctantly summarized the information he had found and gave it to Xie Siyan.
"Look, this person is Professor Lu from your School of Finance. He supervised Lin Nuo's graduation thesis. I guess because of this, he got to know him a little and thought he was a good person, so he introduced him to Mu Jia...his niece."
"Lin Nuo, 22 years old, is currently a senior at Peking University, majoring in finance like you. Oh, and... he recently had a brief internship at Shengxun Precision, a subsidiary of your China Construction. He probably felt it didn't align with the plan, so he left the project."
Professor Lu...?
Xie Siyan's memories were briefly pulled back to his student days.
He curled his lips.
-
Saturday.
Mu Jia was called to his aunt's house for dinner again.
In fact, before she came to Beijing to study, the two families were not very close. After all, since her father stopped doing business, the family's finances plummeted, and the class gap between the two families widened, and they could not talk to each other.
But unexpectedly, Mu Jia is a person who can read.
Not only did he get into the prestigious University of Tokyo thanks to the college entrance examination and bonus points for art students, but he also joined a top financial institution after graduation.
Although he is just a junior employee, he has established a firm foothold in Beijing.
"Jia Jia, your uncle has a student coming over later." Her aunt warned her, "Why don't you go to the inner room and change your clothes."
Mu Jia looked at himself.
She was wearing a fleece hoodie today, which was probably too casual, a bit like pajamas.
Mu Jia wanted to ask what kind of students were involved and why so many people were mobilized.
But when the words came to her lips, she still obediently walked into the inner room and changed into the coat prepared by her aunt.
"This one is much better."
My aunt looked at her and commented.
Mu Jia felt a little uncomfortable, but didn't say anything.
——
The doorbell rang three times.
Mu Jia stood up and was about to open the door, but her uncle Lu Wenxu put down the newspaper first, stood up and walked over.
"Si Yan, you're here."
Mu Jia heard his uncle greeting that man.
The next second, the door opened and Xie Siyan walked straight in.
Mu Jia:?
Mu Jia froze in place and didn't even hear her aunt say "say hello".
Xie Siyan, why is he here?
No, he is the student of her uncle who is coming home today to discuss cooperation plans? She has never heard her uncle mention that they knew each other before.
Mu Jia bit her lip.
Xie Siyan didn't even look at her. Accompanied by Lu Wenxu, he quickly went upstairs to the study.
Before going upstairs, Lawrence Lu turned back and said, “Lixiu, Si Yan and I will go upstairs to discuss some business, you guys go ahead and do your work.”
Mu Jia's aunt nodded.
Ten minutes later, Chen Lixiu came out with a plate of washed, cut and arranged fruits and handed it to Mu Jia, "Jia Jia, go upstairs and take the fruit plate."
Mu Jia had no reason to refuse.
She had no choice but to take the fruit plate and go upstairs.
There were sounds of conversation coming from the study.
Mu Jia stopped at the door.
After hesitating for two seconds, he pushed the door open.
