Chapter 417 Breakup
At 3:30 in the morning, the crabapple blossoms are still awake.
But Meng Anran has already fallen asleep.
When she received the call from Xiao Han, she wanted to kill someone.
"You'd better have something big to say!" She yawned, her anger rising.
Qin Mu beside her was also woken up by the ringing. Seeing that she answered the phone, he thought it was something important. He turned on the bedside lamp, got up to pour a glass of water, and stayed with her.
Xiao Han exhaled a puff of green smoke, and the light from the street lamp reflected in his pupils, like a pool of stagnant water with no bottom to be seen.
"Break up." He simply uttered three words, his voice a little hoarse from the smoke.
Or maybe it wasn't because of the cigarettes.
Meng Anran was stunned for a moment. After her brain slowly started working, she realized what he said, and her sleepy eyes finally regained their spirits.
She took the water Qin Mu handed her and took a sip. She was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say.
After hesitating for a moment, he only asked: "Where are you?"
"It's the convenience store downstairs from the apartment building." Xiao Han answered honestly.
"My sister is in your apartment?"
"Well, she sprained her ankle during the Chinese New Year, so I brought her here so she could be taken care of. She's been living here ever since." Xiao Han finished speaking, then added, "No sex took place."
Meng Anran had no intention of asking the latter question at all, she still trusted Xiao Han very much.
Then he asked, “Why did you split up?”
This time Xiao Han was silent.
It's a bit complicated and can't be explained in a few words.
He answered irrelevantly: "She said she wanted to go back to Beijing for a while. I will take her to the airport tomorrow."
Meng Anran didn't ask any further questions and just said, "Let's get a room in a nearby hotel for one night and come back with her tomorrow. Or, I can fly over to see you the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Han thought for a while and decided that he probably didn't have the heart to work during this period of time, so it would be better for him to go back to Beijing with Meng Zhen.
At least I can talk to Meng Anran.
"I'll be back tomorrow." He made his choice.
"Okay, find a hotel and have a good night's sleep. I'll book you a flight for the afternoon."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Anran calmly opened the aviation software to check the flight tickets from Hai City to Beijing City tomorrow... no, this afternoon.
Qin Mu had been listening nearby and had a basic understanding of the current situation: "Did Xiao Han break up with Meng Zhen?"
"Okay." Meng Anran selected the ticket, filled in the passenger information, and booked the ticket quickly and efficiently.
She was not surprised by this result, and neither was Qin Mu.
One can even guess the reason why Xiao Han and Meng Zhen broke up.
"Okay, let's go to bed early." Meng Anran put down the phone and snuggled back into the quilt. "Our flight is at nine in the morning."
"Yeah." Qin Mu put the cup of water on the bedside table, kissed her forehead, then turned off the light and continued to sleep.
At twelve noon, the flight that Qin Mu and Meng Anran were on landed.
Xiao Li and Xiao Chen, who came to pick them up at the airport, had been waiting for a long time. When they saw them come out, they immediately went to greet them.
"Mr. Qin, this is the latest monitoring report from the meteorological station. A 6.8-magnitude earthquake occurred in Shuzhou, which is very likely to affect the Wushan area." Xiao Chen took Qin Mu's suitcase with one hand and handed him a folder with the other.
Qin Mu took a quick look and made a quick decision: "Notify the mine to stop work first. All workers must evacuate Wushan as soon as possible and take paid leave. The resumption time is to be determined."
"Understood." Xiao Chen took the folder back and continued to report: "The Lihai South City Planning Project is progressing smoothly. There is a project shareholders' meeting at 3 o'clock, and you need to go there."
"Got it." Qin Mu opened the car door and before getting in, he looked at the girl in another car who was listening to Xiao Li's work report and called out with a smile, "Baby."
Meng Anran turned around and met his eyes filled with tenderness and love.
Qin Mu said: "See you tonight."
Meng Anran smiled slightly and said, "See you tonight."
The two of them got into their cars and left in different directions.
In the business car, Meng Anran sat on the left side of the middle row, looking through the documents on her legs.
That was a detailed background check of all employees at the group headquarters, including C-level executives, who had access to chip technology.
I asked Xiao Li to check it last night, and the information was handed to her today. Her efficiency is very good.
The information is sorted according to the employees' positions, and the first one is CEO Mu Yuqin's.
Yunduan Group had a cooperation with Mu Yuqin's former company. Qin Mu therefore learned that Mu Yuqin was discriminated against because of her gender in the former company, and took the opportunity to poach Mu Yuqin to Ruiming.
Meng Anran trusted the person introduced by Qin Mu, so she did not do any additional background checks.
I only know now that after graduating from university, Mu Yuqin started her own business and used all her savings to open a small advertising company, which developed quite well at first.
Later, she met the wrong man and lost both her money and her ex-husband took away all the funds of her company, leaving her with only a two-year-old son and more than 10 million in debt.
Mu Yuqin became a single mother, working hard to earn money while raising her children.
He originally worked as a clerk in another advertising company, but later felt that there was no future, so he switched to a foreign-funded trading company.
I worked there for twelve years.
She encountered gender discrimination again, and Qin Mu happened to extend an olive branch to her, so she decisively resigned and applied for a job at Ruiming.
The debt was not paid off until last month.
After reading the information, Meng Anran couldn't help but admire Mu Yuqin. The greatness of a mother is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Not only did he pay off more than 10 million yuan in debt, but he also taught his son well.
Mu Yuan is currently a senior at a famous financial college in China. He is both excellent in character and academics and will graduate in six months.
"We are from the same university..." Meng Anran muttered.
Xiao Li glanced at the information. When he saw Mu Yuqin's experience last night, he was also impressed.
At this moment, he spoke with a bit of selfish motives: "Boss, I found out that Mu Yuqin wants to send Mu Yuan abroad as an exchange student for another two years of further study. However, there are very few places for exchange students. She has been using her connections everywhere recently, and it must have cost her a lot of money."
Meng Anran nodded thoughtfully, "Turn around and go to Huajing University first."
…
In the president's office of Ruiming Group.
Mu Yuqin, who hadn't had a good rest the whole night, took the time to call her son after finishing two meetings today.
"Mom, aren't you at work? How come you have time to call me?" Mu Yuan put on the Bluetooth headset and hung up the phone, his hands still typing on the keyboard to revise his graduation thesis.
Hearing her son's voice, Mu Yuqin felt much more energetic and spoke in a very gentle tone, "Son, how's your paper going? Have you had a good rest recently?"
"It's pretty good, and it's almost finished."
Mu Yuan keenly sensed that his mother was not in a good state. He stopped what he was doing and asked with concern, "Mom, is your work not going well? I heard that Ruiming Group treats female employees very well. Are you feeling wronged?"
"No." Mu Yuqin smiled. "Didn't you say before that you wanted to study abroad? I... found a channel that can help you get a letter of recommendation."
Mu Yuan frowned. "Mom, I'm a Huajing University graduate after all. Even if I don't go on to further studies, I won't have trouble finding a good job. If you force yourself to do something you don't like just to get a letter of recommendation for me, how can I study abroad with peace of mind? You should focus on resting more and worry less about these things."
Mu Yuqin's eyes suddenly turned red. Her child was her only spiritual support in this world and the person who understood her the most.
Whenever she was in a dilemma, he could always push her back to the right path.
At the critical moment, there was a knock on the glass door of the office.
Mu Yuqin looked back and found that it was Meng Anran who came.
She hurriedly said to the other end of the phone: "The chairman is coming. I will call you later."
