Chapter 82 Are you getting married?
Monday morning.
As soon as Mu Jia walked into the company, he noticed two female employees in KIC business suits leaning against the table where the coffee machine was placed and chatting.
“AI is indeed the current money-making king.”
"I heard that the tech company that makes AI smart toys is preparing to go public."
"Yes, the founder is not even thirty years old, right? He's already financially independent, so enviable."
Mu Jia passed by them expressionlessly.
As soon as she sat down at her workstation, the director knocked on her partition: "Conference room, regular morning meeting."
Inside the conference room.
The project manager handed a stack of documents to everyone: "This is the key project for next month. Everyone, familiarize yourself with it first."
Mu Jia opened the folder and his eyes were first attracted by a familiar name.
Lanyu AI Intelligent Technology Company IPO project.
Due Diligence Manager - Mu Jia.
She stared at the line of words for a long time.
An idea popped into my mind: He Chen’s company is about to go public?
"If anyone has questions about the assignment, they can raise them now."
The director looked around and his eyes fell on Mu Jia's frowning face.
Mu Jia controls his facial expressions due to face blindness.
The meeting room was silent, everyone was thinking.
The director concluded, "Since there are no objections, the meeting is adjourned."
The crowd quickly filed out.
Mu Jia walked at the end and closed the door of the conference room gently.
Back at her workstation, she held her forehead and stared blankly for a while.
I don’t know whether I should tell Song Mingxi this news.
The data reports on the computer screen turned into blurry blocks of color in her eyes. After a long moment of fascination, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Xie Siyan:
【Are you coming out soon? 】
The news fell on deaf ears.
Mu Jia put his phone upside down on the table and forced himself to focus on his work.
——
Less than two days.
Mu Jia met the popular Party A in the company's conference room.
He Chen was wearing a well-tailored dark blue suit and had a serious look on his face. He looked completely different from the gentle and casual person he had been when he was with Song Mingxi before. He exuded a faint sense of oppression.
From time to time, female employees cast prying glances at him.
Before entering the office, Mu Jia met him.
Without stopping, he walked over and knocked on her boss's door.
When he came out, he passed by her desk, tilted his head slightly, and said in a distant and polite tone, "Director Mu, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Mu Jia looked at the hand that was extended to her, and she felt her stomach churning as if all the deception and calculations had never happened.
Mild discomfort.
They were not on a handshake kind of relationship.
"Hello, Mr. He."
Mu Jia tried hard to remain professional, his hands clenched under the table, unable to smile. He could only greet them coldly and perfunctorily, then hurriedly tried to sit down.
Song Mingxi is a master of love.
As a result, she sprained her waist at the hands of a fox a few years younger than her, and even Mu Jia was not in a good mood.
He Chen was treated coldly, but he did not turn around and leave immediately.
He stopped in front of Mu Jia's desk, lowered his voice, and suddenly asked:
"Is she... okay?"
Mu Jia raised his head suddenly.
"Okay," she pursed her lips, looked up at him, and licked her lips. "She's doing well and is getting married soon."
——
Song Mingxi sat on the big bed in the bedroom, staring at the bird's nest soup that the nanny had just brought him.
The heat in the porcelain bowl gradually dissipated.
Condensed water droplets slid down the sides of the bowl. "Miss, please drink something. The mistress will be here soon..." The nanny stood at the door with a worried look on her face, hesitant to speak.
Song Mingxi waved his hand.
The new blind date candidate has been announced.
Song's father was very quick and didn't give her any chance to regret this time, so he arranged a meeting immediately.
He is a nice guy, her elementary school classmate Lin Sheng.
It is said that the other party has been interested in her since childhood, and his secret love for many years has finally come true. He was extremely attentive to her at the blind date party.
He gave her a valuable diamond as a gift right from the start, and the blind date party turned into a proposal party. The moment Lin Sheng knelt on one knee and took out the diamond ring, everyone in the restaurant applauded and cheered. The fiery look in his eyes made her feel at a loss, and his almost humble hospitality made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Except, she has no feelings for this person...
"Xixi, Mom knows you're reluctant, but feelings are developed through time."
"Xixi..." Song's mother knocked on the door and walked in, sitting on her bed. Song Mingxi knew that she was here to persuade her.
Unable to protest, she simply listened numbly.
Mother Song spoke softly, "You've had so many boyfriends, and you've followed Chi Zhao's butt in pursuit of true love. Look at you now, is there anyone willing to marry you?"
These words were like a blunt knife, stabbing into her heart.
The charm that she was proud of over the years and the carefully managed relationships may indeed be a joke in the eyes of others.
"No."
Song's mother's few words were very hurtful.
Song Mingxi was silent for a long time, and she began to doubt herself. She really had no charm at all these years. Seeing that her mind was loosening, Song's mother struck while the iron was hot. "That child from the Lin family really likes you, and her family background is quite good..." She held her daughter's cold hand, "Mom won't hurt you."
"We've also learned about his family. Their background is comparable to the Song family. If you marry into their family, it definitely won't be considered a down-marriage."
Song Mingxi said dryly, "Mom, let me think about it."
——
That day in Mu Jia's car, Song Mingxi was indeed furious and agreed to marry.
But now, when she really made up her mind to marry someone she didn't love, Song Mingxi hesitated.
The nanny and Song's mother were out. Song Mingxi stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom, looking at the lush rose bushes in bloom in the courtyard.
Those beautiful flowers were blooming, but Song Mingxi knew that if they were not watered, they would wither and decay, just like the pride she was holding on to at the moment.
The phone screen suddenly lit up, glaring in the darkness.
Lin Sheng: [Mingxi, I know you're still hesitant about marrying me, but I promise that I'm sincere to you.]
Song Mingxi stared at the message for a while.
Suddenly, another message came in my hand, without a signature: [Are you getting married? ]
Song Mingxi never replies to messages from unfamiliar numbers.
Especially now, the whole circle is laughing at her.
It was impossible for her to reply when she was not sure who the sender was.
Lin Sheng sent another message: [Mingxi, I want to invite you out for a walk tomorrow, is that okay?]
Song Mingxi thought for a while, neither replying well nor replying badly. She turned off the screen of her mobile phone and put it upside down under the pillow, but a name suddenly appeared in her mind.
When the little moments we spent together in the past come back to my mind, the happiness and the touching moments were real.
She wondered vaguely, was she really going to marry someone she didn't know well and had no contact with before?
