Chapter 769: Neither humble nor arrogant
Xiao Muzhen looked helpless, "Okay then."
After signing the contract, Xun Zi asked Xiao Muzhen to give her the document and she asked her assistant to handle it.
"Zhenzhen, it's almost noon. Let's have lunch together. Then go shopping with me this afternoon. I haven't bought clothes in a while."
Xiao Muzhen had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he nodded and said, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"I heard there's a new Western restaurant nearby. Let's go and have some Western food."
Xiao Muzhen asked Xun Zi to send the address to him and navigated there directly.
As soon as they parked the car, Xun Zi said in surprise, "Zhenzhen, look, is that Huo Yunting?"
Xiao Muzhen looked up and saw Huo Yunting, dressed in a suit and tie, walking into the restaurant with Ke Ning.
"Yes, it's him."
"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Maybe this is fate!"
Xiao Muzhen turned her head and glanced at her. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mom, your acting is too bad."
Xun Zi: “…”
Is it that obvious?
"What are you talking about, kid? I don't understand. Let's get off the bus quickly. I've been running around with you all morning and I'm already hungry."
Xiao Muzhen smiled and didn't expose her.
The two walked into the restaurant and found a seat by the window.
Xun Zi looked around and didn't see Huo Yunting, feeling a little disappointed.
She did learn from Xiao Tuo that Huo Yunting was going to discuss business with someone here today, so she asked Xiao Muzhen to accompany her.
Xiao Muzhen picked up the menu and looked at it for a while. Seeing that Xun Zi hadn't ordered yet, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said, "Mom, don't look at it anymore. He should be in the private room. If you really want to know where he is, I'll ask the waiter to ask for you."
Xun Zi glanced at her unhappily, "Who am I doing this for?"
"Okay, we'll handle the situation between us, you don't have to worry about it."
Xun Zi didn't say anything else, picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes at random.
After all, her purpose of coming here was to create an accidental encounter between Xiao Muzhen and Huo Yunting, not really to come here to eat.
After they ordered their dishes, Xiao Muzhen stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
After Xiao Muzhen finished using the bathroom and came out to wash her hands, she met Jing Xuechu.
Seeing her, Jing Xuechu smiled.
"Miss Xiao, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Xiao Muzhen turned off the water and wiped his hands with paper while saying, "Well, it's quite a coincidence."
Seeing that she didn't give him any face, Jing Xuechu didn't get angry and continued, "My dad is discussing business with Mr. Huo. Do you want to go say hello to Mr. Huo? We just mentioned you!"
Xiao Muzhen raised an eyebrow and looked at her, his expression indifferent: "No need to say hello, I have something else to do. Goodbye, Miss Jing."
Jing Xuechu watched her leave with a smile, and the temperature in his eyes gradually turned cold.
Xun Zi was a little disappointed that Huo Yunting didn't come out until the meal was over.
However, thinking that Xiao Muzhen's studio had been finalized, there would be many opportunities to meet Huo Yunting in the future, and his mood improved.
While shopping in the afternoon, Xun Zi didn't look at much herself, but she bought a lot of skirts for Xiao Muzhen.
Every time she tried one, Xun Zi said it was beautiful and asked the salesperson to pack it up directly.
After trying a few, Xiao Muzhen refused to try again.
Xun Zi handed a light green embroidered silk slip dress to Xiao Muzhen, "This is the last one. After you try this one, you won't have to try any more."
When Xiao Muzhen changed into her skirt and walked out, Xun Zi's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Wear this when you go to the Su family banquet!"
This skirt reveals a little too much of the back, and Xiao Muzhen doesn't like it very much.
"Isn't this one too revealing?"
"How is this too much? At your age, you should be as beautiful as you can be. When I was younger, the clothes I liked were much more revealing than this. This is it!"
After shopping, Xiao Muzhen sent Xun Zi back to the Xiao family and then went home.
Seeing her large and small bags of clothes, Shen Tian's eyes were full of surprise.
"Zhenzhen, why did you suddenly buy so many clothes?"
After all, in her impression, Xiao Muzhen doesn't like shopping for clothes, and she doesn't pursue beauty in clothes, as long as she is comfortable.
"My mom bought it. By the way, are you going to the Su family's banquet in a few days?"
"The one you're talking about for Huo Yunting? I received the invitation and was just about to tell you about it. Are you going to attend?"
"Well, go with my mom."
"That's great. I was thinking it would be a bit lonely if I went alone. We can go together then."
Xiao Muzhen carried her things upstairs, changed into home clothes and went downstairs. As soon as she sat down on the sofa, the doorbell rang. It was Xun Zi's assistant who brought the property certificate and various documents.
Knowing that Xiao Muzhen's studio had already chosen a location, Shen Tian smiled and said, "Then you will be busy from now on. Renovation is also a big project."
"Well, I plan to design it myself and then outsource it to an outside company."
"If it's a full-service package, you have to keep an eye on it frequently, otherwise the workers are likely to cut corners to save costs."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Well, I'll go there every day to check the progress."
"Oh, I remember Xiao Corporation has a decoration company. Why don't you just ask a company under Xiao Corporation to help you with the decoration?"
"This store was sold to me by my mother's friend. It was much cheaper. I don't want to trouble them anymore."
Moreover, Xiao Tuo is the president of Xiao Corporation. If she asks him for help, the company's shareholders might use this as an excuse to say that he is abusing his position for personal gain. She doesn't want him to be criticized.
"All right."
"Well, I'm going to work on the books. Call me if you need anything."
Entering the study, Xiao Muzhen put away the documents and property certificate and began to design his own studio.
On the other side, in the restaurant's private room.
After Jing Sui signed the contract with Huo Yunting, he smiled and said, "Yunting, if Xue Chu hadn't always told me that you were young and promising and had strong work ability, we might not have cooperated so quickly. My daughter, you really can't be kept back when you grow up!"
He seemed to be expressing his feelings, but in fact he was hinting to Huo Yunting that he hoped there would be further development between him and Jing Xuechu.
Jing Xuechu blushed and couldn't help biting her lower lip.
"Dad, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Huo is very capable."
"Yes, yes, I won't say anything."
Huo Yunting looked calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Mr. Jing, you will not regret cooperating with Su's."
When Jing Sui saw that he didn't respond to his words, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled kindly.
"I still believe in your abilities. You young people are the masters of the world now. I'm afraid we old folks will soon be surpassed by you!"
"No, Mr. Jing is in his prime. I still have a lot to learn from him."
Seeing Huo Yunting's calm expression and his neither humble nor arrogant attitude no matter what he said, Jing Sui was quite satisfied.
