The usually aloof, elegant, and cold gentleman was now holding his wife affectionately, the two of them looking so lovey-dovey and adoring.
This is...unbearable to look at.
Shang Qi quickly regained his composure, acting like a robot with a blank expression, and said, "Sir, Zhou Xinlan, the general manager of Zhou's Group, wishes to see you."
"Yes, there's a collaboration project I'd like to discuss with you."
Upon hearing Zhou Xinlan's name, Mu Xiaocheng froze instantly, glancing at Ji Huaishen with a quiet look.
Has he maintained contact with Zhou Xinlan?
Ji Huaishen frowned slightly and said coldly, "I won't see you."
There's nothing to discuss regarding cooperation.
"yes."
Shang Qi nodded, turned around and left.
After Shang Qi left, Mu Xiaocheng struggled in Ji Huaishen's arms for a moment and said, "Put me down first."
Ji Huaishen didn't insist any further and put her back on the chair.
Mu Xiaocheng didn't even look at him, and as if in a fit of pique, she turned on her computer.
He told her not to look, but she insisted on looking anyway.
Hmph.
Ji Huaishen saw her turn on the computer again and was about to stop her when he heard another knock on the door.
Shang Qi's handsome, cold face reappeared in Ji Huaishen and Mu Xiaocheng's sight.
"Sir, Ms. Zhou said that she and Madam are relatives and hopes that you can give the Zhou family a chance."
"She also said, please, madam..."
Before Shang Qi could finish speaking, Zhou Xinlan, dressed in a professional suit, appeared at the door.
She squinted at Mu Xiaocheng in the office, then smiled and said, "So Xiaocheng is here too."
Her tone was completely natural.
On the contrary, they were quite amiable.
Mu Xiaocheng couldn't help but look up at Zhou Xinlan, who was still dressed as a sophisticated and capable businesswoman, exuding extraordinary competence. At this moment, she walked in as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Xinlan didn't speak to Ji Huaishen immediately, but instead looked at Mu Xiaocheng.
She was sitting at Ji Huaishen's desk without even wearing shoes, and in front of her were all sorts of snacks.
Zhou Xinlan glanced at it indifferently, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
That's true, they really have no manners.
"Since you're here, I'll get straight to the point."
"Our Zhou family recently had a very good cooperation project, which is of considerable value both in terms of short-term profits and long-term development."
"That's perfect, we need a partner like Mr. Ji."
"I came here today to talk to Mr. Ji. You... won't mind, will you?"
That's a really bad question...
Actually, at the beginning, Mu Xiaocheng didn't dislike Zhou Xinlan; on the contrary, she even admired her.
After all, Zhou Xinlan is quite different from other young ladies from prominent families.
Although they both live in luxury, Zhou Xinlan is very capable.
He excelled in his studies and is now capable of handling the entire Zhou family business single-handedly.
As a woman myself, Mu Xiaocheng admires her.
It's really not easy to do what Zhou Xinlan has done.
But she felt increasingly uncomfortable with this woman.
Although her words and actions seemed appropriate to outsiders, they always gave her an air of arrogance.
She didn't quite like the aura she exuded.
Zhou Xinlan has already said all that, what else can she say?
Should I refuse?
That's impossible.
She is a member of the Zhou family.
Your presence here today represents the entire Zhou family.
My aunt is also a member of the Zhou family, and they treat her like their own daughter. They treat her with respect, even if it's just for the sake of the family.
For both emotional and rational reasons, she couldn't bring herself to say the word "mind".
