Chapter 74 No One Competes with You
The next morning, Mu Nanyan got up early to wash up before going to work. She had been lying in the hospital every day for the past few days and was very uncomfortable. Now she could finally go back. She didn't know whether the new products for autumn were ready. She really wanted to go and see them.
After washing up and going downstairs, she saw Lu Yiran sitting in the restaurant drinking coffee. Seeing him in the morning, Mu Nanyan was a little uncomfortable and was stunned for a moment before walking over.
Lu Yiran heard footsteps and turned his head to look over. He saw Mu Nanyan in formal attire and said to her:
"Come and have breakfast."
"Here I come."
Mu Nanyan walked over and sat down. She found that the breakfast on the table was untouched. When did Lu Yiran come down? Did he just come down or had he been down for a while, waiting for her the whole time?
Mu Nanyan didn't ask the question out loud, but just thought about it in her heart. She picked up the chopsticks and started to eat breakfast silently. Lu Yiran also started to eat. He just took a bite of the sandwich and looked up to see Mu Nanyan with bulging cheeks stuffing buns into her mouth. He felt it was a bit funny for some reason. He adjusted his mood and looked at Mu Nanyan and said:
"Are you hungry?"
Mu Nanyan came back to her senses after hearing Lu Yiran's words and looked at Lu Yiran in confusion.
"Well?"
Lu Yiran pointed at her mouth, and Mu Nanyan realized something was wrong. She had stuffed three steamed dumplings into her mouth in one breath. She was distracted just now, and it was a completely subconscious action. She wanted to speak, but her mouth was full of dumplings and she couldn't say a word. She chewed for a long time before swallowing some of the dumplings.
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
She swallowed a little too much and choked. She started coughing violently. Seeing this, Lu Yiran quickly poured her a glass of milk. Mu Nanyan took it and drank it directly. She felt alive again. Today was really embarrassing. She wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it, but there was no hole for her to crawl into. She could only smile awkwardly at Lu Yiran and said:
"Thank you."
"You can eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you."
Lu Yiran looked at her with a meaningful expression. Mu Nanyan felt even more embarrassed by his gaze and quickly explained:
"Would you believe me if I said I don't usually eat like this? I was just distracted, so..."
Lu Yiran didn't say anything, just looked at her. Mu Nanyan knew that Lu Yiran didn't believe it at all, so she didn't know what to say. She just picked up the milk and drank it in one gulp, then said to Lu Yiran:
"Um...I'm going to be late. Take your time eating. I'm leaving now."
Mu Nanyan said this, picked up her bag and slipped away. She didn't want to stay with Lu Yiran anymore. It was so embarrassing.
Lu Yiran sat at his seat, watching Mu Nanyan disappear in the restaurant, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. After finishing breakfast, he also set off for the company.
Dingsheng Group
As soon as Lu Yiran walked out of the elevator, he saw Song Rui standing at the elevator door, his face full of worry. Lu Yiran asked calmly:
"What happened?"
"Mr. Lu, there's a problem with the chip our R&D department is researching. The director of our R&D department said we might not be able to complete the research today."
Today is the day for the R&D department to report its research results. This chip technology is particularly important to Dingsheng and is related to the future development direction of Dingsheng. The previous research has made great progress and is expected to be completed this week. Song Rui came to the company early to prepare, but the director of the R&D department said that there was a problem with the chip research and it had not been figured out yet. He himself did not dare to come and report to Lu Yiran, so Song Rui had to speak.
Everyone in the company knows that Lu Yiran is very strict at work. If you fail to complete the task within the specified time, being scolded is considered the best punishment. He might even ask you to resign.
Song Rui didn't dare to look at Lu Yiran's expression. He was ready to be scolded on behalf of the R&D director, but Lu Yiran said:
"Give him three more days. If he doesn't finish it, he doesn't need to come see me anymore."
Song Rui looked at Lu Yiran in disbelief. He thought he had heard wrongly. Not only was Mr. Lu not angry, he also gave him three more days. Was that fake?
Lu Yiran ignored him and walked straight towards the office. Song Rui stood there in a daze.
"Why does it seem like Mr. Lu is in a good mood today? Is it because the sun rises from the west?"
Song Rui even went to the window to look at the sun today, but it didn't rise from the west. What happened? Why was Mr. Lu suddenly in such a good mood?
Song Rui gave up when he couldn't figure it out. He returned to his seat and called the R&D director.
Pinshang Clothing Company
As soon as Mu Nanyan arrived at the company and parked her car, she met Shang Yu who had just arrived. His car drove into the parking space next to hers. Mu Nanyan recognized that the car next to her belonged to Shang Yu. She wanted to get out of the car to thank Shang Yu for helping her ask for leave, but then she remembered what she had promised Lu Yiran before, and suddenly she didn't know how to face Shang Yu.
There was nothing between her and Shang Yu originally, but after the rumors spread in the company, even if she and Shang Yu had a normal conversation, they would probably talk nonsense if they were seen by someone with ulterior motives. If Lu Yiran heard about it, she might not be able to come to work in the company. Forget it, she decided not to say hello to Shang Yu.
Mu Nanyan continued to sit in the car, she was going to wait for Shang Yu to leave before getting in. Shang Yu saw that the car next to him was Mu Nanyan's. He didn't expect Mu Nanyan to come to work at the company so soon. After getting out of the car, he walked directly towards the company without noticing Mu Nanyan in the car.
Mu Nanyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shang Yu leave. She opened the car door and got out, then went to the design department.
Mu Nanyan had just arrived at the design department when a girl sitting next to her said, "Shang Yu came to see you just now. I told him you weren't here, so he left."
"I see. Thank you."
After Mu Nanyan politely thanked the girl, she sat down directly at her workstation. She did not look for Shang Yu, nor did she send him a message. It would be better for the two of them to keep a certain distance in the company. She did not want Shang Yu to offend Lu Yiran because of her.
Mu Nanyan looked at the girl next to her and said:
"I've been away for a few days. Have you finished the new autumn products?"
"It's already done. It's already early August, and the new autumn products should be online in the next two days. Congratulations in advance."
This girl is quite cute and has a baby face. Her name is Zhou Ruxuan. She has been in the company for more than a year and is currently just a designer assistant.
She was actually quite envious of Mu Nanyan. After all, she had only been in the company for such a short time and was able to participate in the design of new products. She didn't even have the qualifications to design now.
