Chapter 356: Unanimous
Ignoring Zhao Mingyue's frozen face, Xiao Muzhen turned around and walked into his office.
Zhao Mingyue secretly resented this and her hand holding the flower tightened unconsciously.
That bitch Xiao Muzhen must have done it on purpose. If she wasn't a member of the Xiao family, she would have thrown the flowers at her just now!
She glanced coldly at the people watching the excitement and said coldly, "Are you guys free? Don't you have to work?"
Those who were seen by her quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to look her in the eye.
Zhao Mingyue snorted coldly, threw the flowers into the trash can, turned around and walked towards her office.
After closing the door, Zhao Mingyue immediately called Zhao Tianrui.
"Brother, that bitch Xiao Muzhen refused to accept your flowers and even said she was allergic to pollen!"
Zhao Tianrui chuckled and said slowly: "Mingyue, it's just a small matter, there's nothing to be angry about. Now that I want to marry her, of course I have to coax her."
Zhao Mingyue snorted coldly, "But I'm not satisfied. You're my brother. There are countless famous ladies in Beijing who want to be with you. What qualifications does Xiao Muzhen have to be so arrogant?"
"Just because she's a member of the Xiao family is enough to defeat those women who want to be with me."
What's more, Zhao Tianrui had never seen a socialite more beautiful than Xiao Muzhen. The moment he saw her, he made up his mind in his heart that he must marry Xiao Muzhen.
"Okay, then I'll put up with her for your sake. Don't forget, you promised me that you would help me get revenge after you marry her."
"Don't worry, you are my sister, of course I will help you."
Only after coaxing Zhao Mingyue did Zhao Tianrui hang up the phone.
Thinking of how he saw Xiao Muzhen downstairs of Qingshang Building yesterday, he called his secretary directly.
"Free up my time tonight."
In the evening, as Xiao Muzhen walked out of Qingshang, he saw Zhao Tianrui standing not far away, next to him was a low-key Land Rover.
When he saw Xiao Muzhen, he smiled and walked towards her quickly.
After standing in front of her, Zhao Tianrui smiled and said, "Miss Xiao, I'd like to treat you to dinner tonight to apologize to you on Mingyue's behalf. Are you free?"
A flash of surprise flashed across Xiao Muzhen's eyes, and then, not knowing what he was thinking, he frowned and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are not trying to pursue me, are you?"
Zhao Tianrui smiled and said, "I thought my purpose was obvious."
"Then I will clearly tell Mr. Zhao that I have no intention of falling in love at the moment. I hope you will not pester me."
A gloomy look flashed across Zhao Tianrui's eyes, and then he said sadly, "Why? Does Miss Xiao hate me?"
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether I dislike you or not. I just simply want to do my job well."
Just as Zhao Tianrui was about to speak, a cold voice sounded beside them.
"Mr. Zhao, Zhenzhen has already expressed that she doesn't like you. There's no point in continuing to pester her, right?"
Xiao Muzhen and Zhao Tianrui turned their heads at the same time and saw that it was Huo Yunting. Their reactions were completely different.
Zhao Tianrui was surprised, while Xiao Muzhen was a little dissatisfied.
Is she familiar with him? Who allowed him to call her Zhenzhen?
Zhao Tianrui reacted quickly, looking at Huo Yunting with a wary expression and said, "Mr. Huo, I'm Miss Xiao's blind date. I'm just pursuing Miss Xiao, not pursuing her as you said."
"Haha, if I heard correctly, Zhenzhen has clearly rejected you just now, right?"
The moment the words fell, Xiao Muzhen finally couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Huo, I don't seem to be familiar with you either. I hope you can call me Miss Xiao like Mr. Zhao."
When he met Xiao Muzhen's cold gaze, a hint of sadness flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes.
"I see."
It was time to get off work, and Xiao Muzhen might run into his colleagues at any time. He didn't want to continue to entangle with the two of them, so he turned around and left.
Zhao Tianrui wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Huo Yunting.
"Mr. Zhao, I hope you won't continue to bother Zhenzhen. Otherwise, the cooperation between Huo's and Zhao's will probably not be able to continue."
Zhao Tianrui's face froze. Huo Yunting's words were like pinching his weak spot, but he was unwilling to give up Xiao Muzhen just like that.
"Mr. Huo, I like Miss Xiao. It's my freedom to pursue her. You shouldn't have the right to interfere, right?"
Huo Yunting smiled, but his voice was extremely cold. "I really don't have the right, but I still have the right to terminate the cooperation with Zhao."
"You! Don't you feel despicable for doing this?!"
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. "So what if you're despicable? Aren't you afraid of the Zhao Group going bankrupt? Why don't you continue to pester Xiao Muzhen?"
After saying that, Huo Yunting left.
Zhao Tianrui stared at his back, his eyes filled with viciousness and unwillingness.
Returning to the car angrily, Zhao Mingyue hurriedly asked, "Brother, did you just have a conflict with Huo Yunting?"
"No, go back."
Seeing his gloomy face, Zhao Mingyue didn't dare to say anything anymore. She sat aside silently, hoping that her brother would calm down quickly.
After all, her brother was very scary when he got angry, and she didn't want to go through that terrifying experience again.
Xiao Muzhen and Xie Fu made an appointment to have dinner together at a private restaurant. As soon as she got off the car, she met Huo Yunting and she couldn't help frowning.
What bad luck! Why do I see this man everywhere?
Seeing the disgust in her eyes, Huo Yunting's eyes flashed with self-mockery. It seemed that her impression of him was not much better than Zhao Tianrui's.
Xiao Muzhen was the first to look away, as if she didn't see him, and quickly turned around and walked into the restaurant.
Huo Yunting followed behind her, and his gaze on her made her feel uneasy. It was not until she walked into the box that she felt the gaze on her disappear.
Xie Fu had already ordered two dishes. As she handed her the menu, she asked, "Why do you look so grumpy? Did something unpleasant happen at work today?"
"No, I just met an annoying person at the door."
She opened the menu, added two dishes and a dessert, and then handed the menu to the waiter.
"By the way, I'm looking for you for dinner today because I want to ask you for help with something."
Xiao Muzhen raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter?"
"As you know, my company recently invested in a new play and we need to find a designer to design the costumes. However, the designer we had previously booked suddenly got pregnant and went home to protect the fetus. Now we can't find anyone else, so I'd like to ask you to help."
"How many costumes are needed?"
Xie Fu whispered a number, and Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but frown. "I have a job now, so I can use my off-get off work time to draw the design, but I don't have time to go on site and supervise the revisions."
"Don't worry about that. Our company has recently hired a few new costume designers. It might be a little difficult for them to design, but it's no problem to modify the costumes."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, curled his lips and smiled, "Then let's talk about the reward."
"One million for a set of clothes. That's the highest price I can offer."
Xie Fu blushed a little as she spoke. After all, she knew that the cheapest costumes designed by Xiao Muzhen cost more than one million. She quickly added, "After this drama airs, I'll give you half of the dividends I get!"
Looking at Xie Fu's painful expression, Xiao Muzhen's smile deepened a little.
"Alright, no need for profit sharing, just consider it a friendship price. After all, you're my best friend!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Fu's face was filled with excitement. If the table hadn't been blocking her way, she would have rushed forward and hugged Xiao Muzhen.
"Zhenzhen, I know you treat me the best, please accept my heart!"
