Chapter 145: The Line Between Water and Sky
Chi Muzhen felt that Qi Yunzhe looked at her in a strange way, but since she came to attend this party, she had no intention of hiding her identity anymore.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Qi Yunzhe's eyes flashed with an inexplicable emotion, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were the president of MY before, otherwise I wouldn't have asked my secretary to cancel the meeting last time."
Chi Muzhen was stunned for a moment, feeling that what he said was a little strange.
"Mr. Qi, you don't need to apologize. This is normal."
Qi Yunzhe's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he whispered: "If there is another cooperation next time, I will give priority to MY."
Chi Muzhen was a little surprised, but then she realized that he must be doing this for Huo Yunting's sake, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, President Qi!"
"I mean it."
Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Chi Muzhen was a little surprised. Just as she was about to speak, a cold voice sounded behind her.
"What are you talking about?"
Chi Muzhen rolled her eyes silently in her heart and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."
Huo Yunting's face darkened. He walked over to sit next to her and replaced the cocktail in front of her with milk.
"Drink less alcohol, it's harmful to your health."
Chi Muzhen wanted to refute him, but didn't want to argue with him in front of Qi Yunzhe, so she simply lowered her head and said nothing.
"Yunzhe, go and do your work. You don't have to stay here with us."
Qi Yunzhe's eyes darkened, and he looked at Huo Yunting and said, "Well, I still have a few cooperations to discuss, so I'll go over first."
After Qi Yunzhe left, Huo Yunting looked at Chi Muzhen and said, "Keep your distance from him in the future."
Chi Muzhen gave him a cold look and said, "Don't worry, even if I'm in need of a man, I won't attack anyone around you."
Huo Yunting frowned, but said nothing more.
Chi Muzhen ate the cake quietly. After finishing, she stood up and wanted to leave, but Huo Yunting grabbed her wrist.
"I want to talk to you about what happened between us."
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with surprise, and she looked at him incredulously and said, "Here? Now?"
"Is it not possible?"
"inconvenient."
As soon as she shook off his hand, Shen Tian came over and treated Huo Yunting as an invisible man.
"Zhenzhen, come with me over there to meet some clients."
"good."
It wasn't until the two of them were out of Huo Yunting's sight that Shen Tian spoke angrily, "What does Huo Yunting mean by this?! He brought Chi Xuan to the banquet, but he pestered you at the banquet. Is he planning to have it all?!"
Chi Muzhen was silent for a while, and looked at Chen Tian with a difficult expression and said, "Be good, try not to use idioms when you speak in the future."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid others will laugh at you."
Chen Tian rolled her eyes at her in annoyance, "Is that the point?! Don't you know that he brought Chi Xuan with him to every banquet he attended this month? He didn't refute others when they said Chi Xuan was his girlfriend, and now he's pestering you again. He's such a scumbag!"
Chi Muzhen nodded in agreement, "You are right."
Shen Tian frowned, "I'm serious, I don't want you to make the same mistake again!"
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes, and her hands at her sides tightened unconsciously.
"Don't worry, I won't."
"That's good. I'm just worried you'd get hurt again."
Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "I know."
Until the banquet ended, Huo Yunting did not come to see Chi Muzhen again.
Chi Muzhen drank a lot tonight, so Chen Tian directly found a designated driver for her and asked her to call her after she got home before leaving.
On the way back, Chi Muzhen kept looking out the window with an expressionless face, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the other side, Qi Yunzhe just arrived at the parking lot and saw Chi Xuan standing next to his car with a faint smile on her lips.
"Mr. Qi, there are a few things I don't quite understand about the contract between Jinxiu and Qi's. I'd like to ask you."
Qi Yunzhe's face was expressionless, and he said indifferently: "You can ask my secretary tomorrow."
Chi Xuan smiled slightly, "Since Mr. Qi doesn't want to talk about work, why don't we talk about something else, such as the fact that you like my sister."
Qi Yunzhe's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and his eyes looking at Chi Xuan were full of coldness.
As soon as she arrived at the company the next day, Shen Tian came to find Chi Muzhen with an excited look on her face.
"Qi's is planning to vacate a storefront in its store to cooperate with us!"
Chi Muzhen was really surprised this time. She thought Qi Yunzhe was just saying polite words last night.
However, she didn't really want to cooperate with Qi Yunzhe. After all, he and Huo Yunting were good brothers, and she might get involved with Huo Yunting after the cooperation.
"Please reply to Mr. Qi. We are not considering expanding MY stores for the time being."
Shen Tian frowned, "Why? Do you know how many stores Qi has? If we can cooperate with Qi, MY's profits may double."
"Qi Yunzhe and Huo Yunting have a good relationship."
"So what? We're working with Qi's company, and we'll rent those storefronts at normal prices. We promise not to take advantage of Qi's company. If you're worried, you can pay Qi's company more rent. What do you think?"
Chi Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Okay, then you will be responsible for this part."
"OK."
After Chen Tian left, Chi Muzhen thought for a while and finally called Qi Yunzhe's secretary to express her desire to invite Qi Yunzhe to dinner.
After all, it is difficult to get a store in Qi’s shopping mall, and generally requires bidding.
"Wait a mininute."
Soon, Qi Yunzhe's gentle voice came from the phone.
"Boss Chi, I'm going to Country F on a business trip for a week tomorrow. If you want to treat me to a meal, I guess it can only be tonight or after I get back."
Chi Muzhen didn't expect the secretary to directly hand the phone to Qi Yunzhe. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Let's go tonight. I'll have the secretary book a private room later. What kind of food do you like, Mr. Qi?"
"I'm fine with either."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen asked his secretary to book a Western restaurant.
On the other side, Qi Yunzhe unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile, and he was already secretly looking forward to meeting Chi Muzhen in the evening.
He put down his phone, looked at his secretary and said, "How do you like my outfit today?"
The secretary was a little surprised, but after realizing what was happening, she quickly said, "It suits you very well."
"Well, go out and work."
Qi Yunzhe had just picked up the document and looked at it for a while when Huo Yunting called.
"Yunzhe, I heard that you suddenly gave the store that we had agreed to give to Jinxiu to someone else?"
After a few seconds of silence, Qi Yunzhe slowly spoke: “Well, I talked to Shen Tian for a while at the banquet last night, and I felt that MY needed this store more, so I planned to cooperate with MY.”
"Why are you suddenly helping MY?"
Huo Yunting originally planned to give the best store under the Huo Group to Chi Muzhen, but was afraid that she would refuse. He was thinking about how to give it to her, but he didn't expect that the Qi Group would get there first.
"After all, Chi Muzhen has taken care of you for two years, and I don't want to see her having a hard time."
"I will handle this matter myself, you don't have to interfere."
"The contract between Qi and MY has been signed."
Upon hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes and his voice became a little deeper.
"Yunzhe, I hope you won't interfere in the affairs between me and Chi Muzhen anymore."
After saying that, Huo Yunting hung up the phone.
Qi Yunzhe's hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously, and a hint of forbearance flashed in his eyes.
