Chapter 130 I am the Queen
In a blink of an eye, it was the day before the charity reception and it was time to set off for Hai City.
In the back seat of the business car, Meng Anran leaned in Qin Mu's arms, playing with his fingers, looking a little absent-minded.
Noticing the gloom in her mood, Qin Mu lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, "Are you in a bad mood?"
"No." Meng Anran raised her head, looking drowsy. "I've just been tired lately and haven't slept well."
Qin Mu lowered his head and pecked her lips, carefully protecting her as if she were a child. "Yunduan Group has entered a stable period. I plan to hire a professional manager to take on the role of president to manage the company's affairs. This way, I can spare some time to help you in Ruiming."
He also has shares in Ruiming Group. Although the proportion he holds has decreased after the financing and listing, he is still a member of the board of directors and has the right to participate in the company's decision-making.
"Don't do that." Unexpectedly, Meng Anran flatly refused. "Rui Ming and Yun Duan have a cooperative relationship, not a subsidiary one. As the chairman of Yun Duan Group, if you come to interfere in Rui Ming's decision-making, if there is any problem in the cooperation between the two companies in the future, won't you be accused of abusing your power for personal gain?"
"I just don't want you to be too tired." Qin Mu hugged the person in his arms tighter and leaned his face against her head.
Meng Anran nestled in the warm embrace, listening to Qin Mu's strong heartbeat, and felt very safe. "Rui Ming is on the rise now, and we can't let anything go wrong. After this busy period is over, I will also hire someone to take charge of it."
Managers should learn to delegate power appropriately, supervise and manage at all levels, and not hold all matters, big or small, in their hands. This will make things much easier for them.
Meng Anran and Qin Mu both understood this principle very well, so they never complained about each other's busy work schedules resulting in less time for them to meet, because they knew that there would be plenty of time for them to spend together in the future.
It takes three hours to fly to Haishi.
As soon as they got out of the airport, someone came to pick them up. It was a car arranged by Qinghe Association, which took them to the hotel arranged in advance.
The two cars were prepared for Ruiming Group and Yunduan Group respectively.
Qin Mu pulled Meng Anran into one of the cars and drove Zhuo Cheng and Xiao Li into the other.
They are said to be two different groups, but they look like a family.
After arriving at the hotel and entering the room, Meng Anran put the suitcase aside and followed Qin Mu to his room.
"I always feel that Duan Xi is testing me." Meng Anran walked to the sofa and sat down.
Qin Mu locked the door, put away the suitcase, walked over and sat down beside her, and naturally put his arm around her waist, "What about the bus arrangements?"
He also felt that Duan Xi should have known about his relationship with Meng Anran from Duan Jingyao a long time ago. It was obvious that sending a seven-seater commercial vehicle would have solved the problem, but they sent two sedans instead.
Perhaps this is more appropriate, but when he and Meng Anran walked out hand in hand at the airport gate and were about to get in the car, the driver of another car came up to them and emphasized that the other car was to pick up the VIP of Ruiming Group.
It seemed like he was testing whether the two of them would separate because of this. To be more precise... it was really testing the depth of their feelings.
Of course, it is also possible that they are thinking too much and are prejudiced against Duan Xi, so no matter what arrangement is made, they think that Duan Xi has other intentions.
"Don't worry about it for now. Are you hungry? Let's go to the restaurant on the third floor to eat something."
"Um."
The two of them didn't expect to meet Duan Jingyao, whom they hadn't seen for five years, in the hotel restaurant.
Duan Jingyao is much more mature than he was in high school. He is less gloomy and more elegant. He wears a comfortable light green shirt tucked into brown trousers, looking simple and clean.
The moment he saw Meng Anran, he was obviously stunned.
After not seeing her for five years, she has become more elegant and charming, with the charm of a career woman in her temperament. She is wearing a satin long dress, black hair and red lips, and looks like a fairy.
"What a coincidence." He smiled softly and greeted me naturally, as if he was a friend he hadn't seen for a long time. He was not reserved, close, or awkward.
"Long time no see." Meng Anran curled her lips and responded, "It seems... you have had a good time in the past five years."
The implication is: He was not led astray by those two lunatics, Lu Heng and Lu Yi.
Even my temperament has become a little sunnier than before.
"Well, it's nice to see you again, Miss Meng...you should call me Director An."
After meeting again after a long separation, Duan Jingyao's eyes could not hide the surging emotions when he looked at Meng Anran, but he always kept a polite distance, quickly looked away and stretched out his hand to Qin Mu.
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Qin."
Qin Mu maintained his business etiquette and shook hands with Duan Jingyao. "We met in high school. No need to be so polite. Let's have dinner together."
Duan Jingyao glanced at Meng Anran, and seeing that her expression didn't change, he shifted his gaze after just a second, "Okay."
Logically speaking, this lunch should have been a Shura scene, but the atmosphere among the three seemed very ordinary. There was no tit-for-tat between the rivals, and there was no embarrassment for Meng Anran to be caught in the middle.
We chatted casually about recent events, as if it was just a dinner party with old classmates.
People in high positions will not lose their dignity because of their children's love affairs. Jealousy and mutual insults are too childish for them.
In the world of fame and fortune, crazy love will only be a weakness and a stain, and will only bring ridicule. No one will think that pursuing true love at all costs is a sign of bravery.
"I didn't expect my aunt would invite you here." Duan Jingyao said with a smile, with a hint of meaning in his tone.
Qin Mu looked over and could probably guess that Duan Jingyao was being monitored all the time in Hai City, and many things could not be said clearly.
He then asked cryptically, "It seems we have to be quite famous in the Beijing circle to receive an invitation."
Duan Jingyao apologized as if he had said something wrong. "Aunt invited the Lu Group. I thought that given Miss Meng's relationship with President Lu, Aunt would avoid it."
Meng Anran pursed her lips and remained silent for a while. Duan Xiyuan was in Hai City, so it was not surprising that he planned a cocktail party and invited the three top companies in the Beijing circle.
But Duan Jingyao mentioned this deliberately, it seems that this cocktail party is not as simple as imagined. It is very likely that only Lu, Ruiming and Yunduan from the Beijing circle were invited.
She smiled and said, "Lu Heng and I are sworn enemies in private. We don't discuss personal grudges in the business world, so there's no need to avoid it."
Duan Jingyao was just conveying the message and giving the two of them a reminder. Since they understood it, there was no need for him to continue discussing this topic.
The three of them finished the meal in a dull manner and then left.
"Baby, he seems to be obsessed with you."
After returning to the room, Qin Mu buried his face in Meng Anran's neck, his tone a little jealous.
Actually, I don’t care much about it. After all, couples always like to act coquettishly with each other.
Meng Anran poked Qin Mu's shoulder and asked, "Why were you so magnanimous just now?"
Qin Mu chuckled, put his arm around the girl's waist, and held her in his arms. "I'm the principal wife, so I have to behave more generously in public and make you look good."
