Chapter 42 You’ll know if it works if you try
Qin Mu choked and immediately raised three fingers, "God is my witness, I swear to God! That's definitely not what I meant!"
Meng Anran raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
Qin Mu pursed his lips pitifully, took her hand and held it in his palm, "I just...just want to act coquettishly with you."
Meng Anran narrowed her eyes and teased with a hint of disdain: "Qin Mu, you've become more and more coquettish recently."
Qin Mu chuckled and did not refute.
There's no way, his An Xiaoran is about to become an adult.
Before switching relationships, there must be a transition period for her to adapt.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm here to discuss cooperation with you." Meng Anran even prepared the contract. After talking about cooperation, she would go to the hospital with him to visit his uncle and aunt.
Since its founding, Ruiming Technology has been dedicated to developing chip technology. Just an hour ago, the new chip successfully tested and is fully capable of replacing Lihai's chips. Meng Anran hurried over with the contract, precisely to prevent Qin Mu from being subject to the Song family's unreasonable demands.
When talking about cooperation, the two of them were serious and focused. One represented Ruiming and the other represented Qin's. They refused to give in to each other for a little benefit. After an hour-long verbal battle, they finally negotiated the conditions and signed a new contract.
"What would you like to eat for lunch, Miss?"
After finishing work, Qin Mu returned to his usual attitude, rubbed Meng Anran's head lovingly, but was slapped away.
"Don't mess up my hair!" Meng Anran glared at him resentfully, fixed her hair, and said casually, "I want to eat beef brisket noodles."
Qin Mu laughed, "Okay, I'll take you to eat beef brisket noodles."
The two took the elevator downstairs. Along the way, all the employees greeted Meng Anran respectfully and called her "Ms. Anran".
Meng Anran sighed sadly. Qin Mu pinched her face and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
“When can I be a boss?”
Although she has invested in many companies and some people compliment her by calling her "Ms. An," she ultimately does not hold a formal position.
Qin Mu was forced to take the position of president because of a change in his family, and she was not envious.
She just felt that only when she could become famous in the Beijing circle under the name "General An" would she have the capital to stand proudly in front of Lu Heng, instead of being treated as a toy for his entertainment and thinking that he could take her away with a little favor.
Qin Mu chuckled. An Xiaoran's wish was still so simple and consistent. All she thought about was making a lot of money and building a career. The more Lu Heng suppressed her, the harder she worked to climb up. She learned about investment, accumulated connections, and set up businesses. Even after experiencing countless failures, she still became more and more courageous.
This is An Xiaoran, the girl he likes. No matter her name, she is the only girl he wants.
The increasing rain did not affect their good mood.
After sitting in the passenger seat, Meng Anran looked at the boy beside him with suspicion and fear, "Are you a good driver? You won't throw me off the road, will you?"
Qin Mu couldn't help laughing, "You'll know if it works if you try it."
Meng Anran glared at him. What he said sounded very ambiguous. She was still just an innocent seventeen-year-old girl!
"Don't worry, I've been driving for over a year." Qin Mu leaned over and fastened her seat belt, jokingly saying, "Compared to Lu Yi, I'm definitely not as good. He could drive into a banquet hall, but I don't have that much courage."
Meng Anran smiled. It was hard to find someone as crazy as Lu Yi in the world. "By the way, Lu Yi hasn't come to see me since that night."
"He went to Chengdu to compete. I heard he won a prize in Country R last year and has quite a few fans in the racing community. This time, the organizers specifically invited him to make an appearance."
Lu Yi has been rebellious since he was a child. He doesn't like to follow his family's arrangements to study boring finance. He always does the opposite of what his family asks him to do. The Lu family values the face and rules of the aristocratic family the most, but he goes against the family's wishes and goes to play racing.
The first thing he did after getting his driver's license as an adult was to buy a supercar. He drove at 150 miles per hour on the city center roads. The speeding tickets he received were thicker than the Xinhua Dictionary. After being scolded by Lu Zhong and Bai Yujin more than a dozen times, he started racing on mountain trails, racing on Akina Mountain with a few second-generation rich kids, accompanied by beautiful women, just to win some prizes.
His reputation as a playboy spread far and wide, and no one in the Beijing circle had anything good to say about him, using him as a negative example to educate the next generation.
Meng Anran was lucky enough to be caught by Lu Yi and participated in a privately organized curve car race. Lu Yi forced her to sit in the passenger seat. The curves on the mountain were dangerous, and she was driving very fast. She almost rushed off the cliff. Although Meng Anran survived the race, she was so autistic that she didn't dare to ride in a car for a month.
Meng Anran always felt that Lu Yi was a little too crazy. Not only was he not afraid of death, but he also wanted to drag her to death with him.
Later, Lu Yi became a professional racing driver despite his family's opposition and rumors from the outside world.
He did win a lot of competitions, but this kind of honor was not recognized among the aristocratic families and was considered a symbol of stubbornness and rebellion.
"Lu Yi is like a gambler who's not afraid of his own life. He's using his life and future to resist the Lu family's arrangements. There's no guarantee that he might not be able to come back from any of the competitions."
"Worried about him?"
"Think about how I've survived these past seventeen years, and you won't worry about him anymore."
Qin Mu curled his lips in understanding. He knew that Meng Anran was not just pretending to be stubborn. She really hated Lu Yi. If it weren't for God's mercy, she might have died at Lu Yi's hands long ago.
The car was not driving fast and drove smoothly all the way to a noodle restaurant called "Niu Ji" near the seventh primary school.
Meng Anran likes to eat the beef brisket noodles in this restaurant. When she was in elementary school, she often didn’t want to go home to face her two crazy brothers, so she would come here to fill her stomach before going home.
After graduating from elementary school, whenever she missed this dish, she would drag Qin Mu to eat it with her.
"Uncle Niu, give me two bowls of beef brisket rice noodles." Qin Mu ordered the food familiarly as soon as he entered the door.
"Okay!" Uncle Niu responded, put the noodles into the pot and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I saw you guys. Where are you going to school now?"
"I'm still in this city. I'm not sure about next year." Meng Anran smiled brightly, without any airs at all.
The rice noodles were cooked and topped with beef brisket and ready to be served. Uncle Niu brought two bowls of rice noodles over and placed the bowl without chopped green onions in front of Meng Anran, "Here, yours without chopped green onions."
"Do you remember all this?" Meng Anran stirred the noodles in the bowl, allowing the beef brisket juice to blend into the soup.
Uncle Niu chuckled a few times, "How could I forget? You once forgot to tell me not to add chopped green onions, and this guy picked them out for you one by one. It's rare to find such a thoughtful guy. I was deeply impressed!"
Meng Anran pursed her lips, and the tips of her ears suddenly turned a little red.
She had just taken a bite when her cell phone rang.
Unknown caller.
