Chapter 397: One is willing to be beaten
After Xiao Muzhen finished washing up, Huo Yunting was eating breakfast when she went downstairs.
She frowned and hesitated for a few seconds before walking over and sitting down opposite him.
Today's breakfast was millet porridge and fried dough sticks. The servant's cooking skills were very good, and the fried dough sticks were fried golden and crispy. Xiao Muzhen ate two in a row and drank a bowl of millet porridge before putting down his chopsticks.
"Have you finished eating? I'll take you to the company."
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "No need, I can drive myself."
Before, Xun Zi asked the Xiao family driver to deliver her car to Jinshuwan. Xiao Muzhen didn’t like driving herself, so she kept it in the garage.
But now she didn't want to be alone with Huo Yunting, so she had to drive by herself.
Huo Yunting looked at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you shy?"
"I just don't want to see you."
She turned and walked towards the door, but after taking two steps, she heard footsteps behind her, and the next second, Huo Yunting grabbed her wrist.
"Be good, I'm worried about you driving alone, I'll take you there."
Xiao Muzhen shook off his hand, a hint of impatience in his eyes.
"You can drive my car for a while, but can you drive my car for the rest of my life?"
Huo Yunting smiled and said, "Even if I'm not around, I'll arrange for a driver to take you. I don't want to go through the same situation as you had in the car accident last time."
Xiao Muzhen frowned, but suddenly saw the seriousness and fear in his eyes out of the corner of her eye.
He was really... worried about her...
After coming to this conclusion, she suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.
This feeling is hard to describe, but she has never experienced it before.
She subconsciously opened her eyes, not daring to look him in the eye.
"If you want to send it, just send it. Don't pull it."
"good."
On the way to the company, both of them were silent.
After sending Xiao Muzhen downstairs to the company, Huo Yunting slowly said, "There's a banquet tomorrow night. Please accompany me."
"What party?"
"Jin Yue's president has returned to China. Tomorrow night, Jin Yue is hosting a business banquet to welcome him."
Xiao Muzhen originally wanted to refuse, but when she thought that her father and third brother would probably attend the party, she nodded and agreed.
"knew."
As soon as I got off the bus and walked a few steps forward, I met Ding Yue who came by subway.
Ding Yue's complicated gaze lingered on the departing Maybach for a few seconds, then she looked at Xiao Muzhen and said, "Xiao Sheji, did your husband send you to work?"
"Right...what? How did you know?"
After the answer, Xiao Muzhen finally reacted and looked at Ding Yue in shock.
Ding Yue smiled and said, "Did you forget? Last night after we had dinner, you asked your husband to take me home. You fell asleep in the car. I asked him what your relationship was, and he said he was your husband."
Xiao Muzhen frowned. They were getting divorced in three months. If Huo Yunting told his colleagues that he was her husband, wouldn't he have to explain himself then?!
Thinking of this, Xiao Muzhen felt a headache!
Seeing that her face looked a little bad, Ding Yue quickly said: "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about this."
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "My situation with him is a bit special. Although we are husband and wife, we are actually just a little better than strangers."
"But I think Mr. Huo loves you very much. Last night when you fell asleep, every time he stopped at a traffic light, he would turn his head and secretly look at you, his eyes full of tenderness and affection."
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
Seeing that her face was not only not excited at all, but also speechless, Ding Yue couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Xiao Sheji, don't you like your husband?"
"Let's not talk about my personal affairs anymore. I'm almost late for work. Let's go."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Ding Yue's response, she turned around and walked quickly towards the company, fearing that Ding Yue would ask something else.
Ding Yue stared at her back, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.
As soon as he arrived at the company, Xiao Muzhen was called into the office by Yan Nan.
"Xiao Design, the president has decided to hand over your design to Party A."
"Manager Yan, I already have several projects on hand. If I were to take on this fashion show, I'm afraid I'd be too busy. Doesn't the president have any other designers' designs in mind?"
Yan Nan frowned, thinking about the fact that Xiao Muzhen already had three or four projects on hand and was indeed a bit overwhelmed, so he said, "I'll ask the president."
He immediately called the president and reported to him the project Xiao Muzhen was currently working on. The president agreed to replace him.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Nan smiled and said, "The president has chosen Ding Yue's design. She's your assistant, and this is her first major project. You'll have to assist her."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Of course, this is what I should do."
Yan Nan called Ding Yue into the office and told her that the president had chosen her design.
Ding Yue was immediately overjoyed, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Manager Yan, you really didn't lie to me?! The president really gave this project to me?!"
"Well, originally the CEO had his eye on Xiao Design, but Xiao Design was busy with other projects and didn't have time to work on this one, so it's your turn. You must do a good job!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yue's smile froze for a moment, but it disappeared in an instant. She walked up to Xiao Muzhen with a smile, "Xiao Design, thank you! If you hadn't given me some suggestions for revisions, I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity! I will definitely do my best and won't let you down!"
Xiao Muzhen smiled and nodded, "Well, work hard, you will definitely be able to do it well."
Yan Nan handed the project documents to Ding Yue and said, "We need to design 30 sets of costumes later. Please finish them as soon as possible. If you need any help, you can always contact Xiao Designer."
"Okay, thank you, Manager Yan."
As soon as Ding Yue returned to her workstation, private chat windows kept popping up, all congratulating her on getting the project for next month's fashion show.
However, amidst the congratulations, Zhao Mingyue made a sarcastic remark.
"I heard that this project was originally Xiao Muzhen's, but she didn't want it, so it became your turn, right?! Does it feel good to pick up things that others don't want?"
Ding Yue stared at her words for a few seconds, then closed the chat box directly, but a cold look flashed in his eyes.
She is capable and hardworking, and one day she will let everyone know that everything she has achieved is the result of her own hard work.
In Zhao Mingyue's office, she couldn't help but smile when she saw that Ding Yue didn't reply to her.
If Ding Yue disagreed with her, she would definitely reply with some words to defend Xiao Muzhen. She did not reply, which meant that she also felt that this project was something that Xiao Muzhen did not want.
As long as she had this idea, she could use Ding Yue to deal with Xiao Muzhen.
Being betrayed by someone you trust is definitely not a pleasant feeling.
In the evening, when Huo Yunting went to pick up Xiao Muzhen, he saw Ding Yue and Xiao Muzhen walking out together, and he couldn't help but frown.
He had no good feelings towards Ding Yue at all. If Xiao Muzhen hadn't wanted to send her off last night, he wouldn't have let a woman like this get into his car.
Seeing Huo Yunting, Ding Yue's hand holding the document tightened unconsciously, and her heartbeat quickened.
She glanced at Huo Yunting casually and said with a smile, "Xiao Sheji, thank you for today. Your husband is here to pick you up. Let's talk tomorrow!"
