Chapter 81 Don’t you know I’m allergic to alcohol?
Lu Yiran sat on the sofa and then remembered that he was not going home for dinner today and had not sent a message to Mu Nanyan. He took out his mobile phone, clicked on Mu Nanyan's WeChat, and typed:
[I have something to do tonight, so I can't go back to have dinner with you.]
Soon Lu Yiran received a reply from Mu Nanyan:
[I understand. Go ahead and get busy.]
Lu Yiran did not reply to the message. He put the phone back into his pocket and looked at Xu Nanxing and said:
"Nanxing, you've been at Dingsheng for a few months now. How do you feel?"
Xu Nanxing didn't expect Lu Yiran to take the initiative to find a topic to chat with her. She thought Lu Yiran was concerned about her, so she thought about it carefully before saying:
"It's great. The colleagues in the President's Office are easy to get along with, and I'm pretty familiar with the work."
"Have you decided which department you want to join? Is there anything you particularly like?"
Xu Nanxing didn't expect that Lu Yiran was actually waiting for her here. She had finally stayed with Lu Yiran, so how could she leave so easily?
"Brother Yiran, I've just gotten familiar with the secretary's job, and I've just gotten familiar with my colleagues in the secretariat. If I leave now, I'll have to get to know new people. Otherwise, why don't you just let me stay in the secretariat."
There was a hint of coquettishness in Xu Nanxing's tone. After all, she was Liu Ma's daughter, so he didn't want to force Xu Nanxing to leave. Lu Yiran also remembered that Song Rui had said before that Xu Nanxing worked very hard and didn't cause any trouble, so it was not impossible to keep her in the secretariat.
"Have you decided whether to stay in the secretariat?"
"I've thought it through. I've thought it through very clearly."
Xu Nanxing answered very readily, without any hesitation.
"Well, then, you should work hard in the secretarial department."
"Yeah, I know."
Seeing Xu Nanxing being so well-behaved and obedient, Lu Yiran didn't say anything else, and the matter was settled.
On the other side, Mu Nanyan had just returned home when she received Lu Yiran's message. She didn't care and said directly to the housekeeper:
"Housekeeper, Lu Yiran won't be back for dinner today, so ask the kitchen to cook less."
"Okay, Madam."
The housekeeper went to the kitchen to prepare dinner after receiving the order, and Mu Nanyan sat on the sofa and watched TV series. She was relatively free in the past few months, and she liked to watch TV series when she had nothing to do after get off work. She happened to watch a new drama two days ago, and it happened to be updated today, so she started watching it with relish.
"Ding-ling-ling~"
She had just read half of it when her cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Mu Feng calling. Mu Feng had basically not called her in the past few months. The sudden call must be nothing good.
She paused the TV and answered the phone.
"Hello, Dad."
"Yanyan, have you eaten?"
Mu Feng's attentive voice came from the phone. Hearing Mu Feng's tone, Mu Nanyan felt that something bad was going to happen. This was simply like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, with ulterior motives.
"Not yet. What's wrong?"
"Do you still remember the conditions you promised me before?"
"Remember, have you thought it through now?"
"I've made up my mind. Mu Corporation wants to secure a cooperation agreement recently. I have a dinner date with them this Saturday. If you can help me secure this agreement, I'll consider it as fulfilling one of your conditions."
"You want me to be a drinking companion? Don't you know I'm allergic to alcohol?"
Mu Nanyan really didn't expect that Mu Feng actually wanted her to accompany drinking. Mu Feng saw that she was married now and there was no way to arrange a marriage, so he had to start from other aspects. Moreover, he clearly knew that she was allergic to alcohol, but he still asked her to accompany drinking. This really made Mu Nanyan see through this man, and she became even more disgusted with Mu Feng.
Mu Feng seemed to have truly forgotten. He suddenly realized something and said, "Look at me. I haven't lived with you for so long that I've forgotten about this. It doesn't matter if you can't drink. I don't care what method you use, as long as you can help me get this cooperation."
Mu Nanyan knew exactly what Mu Feng meant. What else could a woman like her do if she couldn't drink during the cooperation negotiations? Mu Nanyan had called him dad for over twenty years, and he actually wanted her to use her body to gain benefits for him. Mu Nanyan secretly clenched her fingers. Fortunately, Mu Feng was not her biological father, otherwise she would be heartbroken.
Seeing that Mu Nanyan was still silent, Mu Feng threatened:
"Yan Yan, you've lived in the Mu family for over twenty years. If you don't want to leave, then I won't be able to repay the kindness I've shown you over the years. Don't even think about severing ties with me."
"I understand. Please send me the client's information."
Mu Nanyan gritted her teeth and said. Mu Feng readily agreed:
"Okay, I'll send you the information right away."
Mu Feng originally wanted to find Mu Nanyan this time just to have her sleep with him. He had already agreed with the other party that as long as he could sleep with her once, the cooperation contract could be signed immediately. He asked Mu Nanyan to accompany him drinking just to go through the motions. Whatever happened then would have nothing to do with him, Mu Feng.
Mu Feng directly sent the information to her via email.
"I sent it to your email, please check it yourself."
"I see."
Mu Nanyan hung up the phone after she finished speaking. She didn't want to hear Mu Feng's voice for even a second.
She now goes to and from work every day, and her life is too comfortable. If Mu Feng hadn't looked for her today, she would have almost forgotten about this matter. She must find a way to draw a clear line between her and Mu Feng as soon as possible. She doesn't want to call him dad for a day. And she must investigate her mother's car accident thoroughly.
Mu Nanyan was secretly making up her mind when suddenly a voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Madam, the meal is ready, you can enjoy it now."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Mu Nanyan turned off the TV and walked towards the restaurant.
"Today is Thursday, and there's only one day left until Saturday. I have to hurry and finish reading the materials. I have to get this cooperation."
Mu Nanyan was thinking this when she walked into the restaurant. She sat down at her seat and looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table, but she had no appetite at all.
"It's all Mu Feng's fault. He had to call me at this hour and now I can't even eat."
Mu Nanyan complained a few words in her heart, then took two mouthfuls of rice and put down her chopsticks.
"Butler, I'm done eating. Please ask someone to come and clear it away."
Seeing that the dishes on the table were basically untouched, the housekeeper kindly reminded:
"Madam, is the food not to your liking? How about I ask someone to make a few dishes that you like?"
"No, I'm not that hungry. I have something else to do, so I'll go upstairs first."
"All right."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, the housekeeper could only nod and agree. Mu Nanyan turned and walked upstairs, returning directly to her room. She opened her laptop and began to read the information Mu Feng had shown her.
