Chapter 94 Compensation for You That Night
Finally, when the host read out "No. 29, Mu Nanyan from Pinshang Clothing Company," she felt an indescribable joy and relief. Although she had barely made it to the finals, for Mu Nanyan, this was the greatest affirmation of her past efforts.
.......
Mu Nanyan walked briskly through the rows of busy cubicles in the company, her heart pounding like a little rabbit.
As soon as I pushed open the door to the design department, I was greeted by a bustling atmosphere. Design Director Liu Dahai stood in the middle of the office, his face a beaming smile. Surrounded by a group of colleagues, their eyes sparkled, as if they were waiting to see something spectacular.
"Nan Yan, come here quickly!"
Liu Dahai's loud voice could be heard throughout the room.
"Our design department has to celebrate for you today!"
Mu Nanyan was stunned for a moment, then her mouth widened like a crescent moon and she walked over quickly:
"Thank you, Director, thank you everyone, I really didn't expect..." Before she finished speaking, her eyes were a little wet. This was the best proof of her ability and hard work.
Liu Dahai patted her shoulder, his eyes full of admiration:
"Nan Yan, your design is creative and full of emotion. You've earned back the reputation of our design department. Remember, this is just the beginning. There's still a long way to go. Keep working hard, and you'll definitely go further."
As soon as the words fell, the room erupted in applause. Mu Nanyan's assistant, Zhou Ruxuan, could no longer contain herself and squeezed out of the crowd, hugging Mu Nanyan tightly. Her voice was choked with sobs:
"Nan Yan, I knew you could do it! Your design is amazing, I'm so happy for you!"
Zhou Ruxuan's hug was warm, as if she wanted to pass all her happiness and pride to Mu Nanyan. Mu Nanyan patted Zhou Ruxuan's back gently, her eyes reddened:
"Thank you, Ruxuan. It's great to have you along the way."
At this time, colleagues gathered around, some handed over small gifts, some held Mu Nanyan's hand and talked non-stop. Those who had previously been pessimistic about Mu Nanyan also smiled, with a little more recognition and respect in their eyes. After all, Mu Nanyan brought honor to the company this time, who could not admire her?
A colleague who usually had a good relationship with Mu Nanyan patted her shoulder:
"Nan Yan, our department was under a lot of pressure before. You made it to the finals this time, which really gave us a boost! From now on, our design department will have to rely on you!"
Mu Nanyan smiled, feeling warm in her heart. She knew that all this was not only a recognition of her personally, but also an encouragement to the entire team.
"Ding-ling-ling~"
At this moment, Mu Nanyan's phone rang. She walked past the crowd and went to the balcony. She saw that it was Mu Feng calling and frowned. Didn't she say that she had cut ties with the Mu family before? Why would Mu Feng call her suddenly?
Mu Nanyan hesitated for a long time, but finally answered the phone.
"Hello."
"Nan Yan, do you really not know Mr. Lu from Dingsheng Group?"
Mu Feng spoke in a gentle voice, but in fact he was almost mad to death, but he didn't dare to get angry at Mu Nanyue, so he could only endure it.
Mu Nanyan didn't understand why Mu Feng mentioned Lu Yiran again. He wouldn't still be thinking of using her to get close to Lu Yiran, right?
"I have no relationship with your Mu family anymore. Whether I know him or not is none of your business."
"How can it be irrelevant, Nan Yan? You still have shares in Mu Corporation. Mu Corporation has been suppressed by Dingsheng Group. Are you sure you don't care? If this continues, Mu Corporation will go bankrupt soon!"
What? Dingsheng Group is suppressing the Mu Group? How is this possible? The Mu Group and Dingsheng are not even on the same level. How could Lu Yiran target the Mu Group for no reason?
"How do you know it's Dingsheng that's suppressing the Mu Group? Could it be one of your other competitors?"
"Didn't you read the news? Xu Fanghai's company was also targeted. He was investigated for material quality issues. Their company has never had such a thing before. It's obvious that someone has messed with them. Recently, our two families haven't offended anyone except Lu Yiran."
"Nan Yan, if you know Mr. Lu, please talk to him. That matter has nothing to do with me. Besides, your mother has shares in the Mu Group. That is the last thing your mother left you. Do you really want to watch it be destroyed?"
Speaking of her mother, Mu Nanyan was really shaken. Although the bankruptcy of Mu Group had nothing to do with her and she didn't care at all, this was indeed the last thing her mother left her, and she couldn't just watch it disappear like that.
"I understand. I will take care of this matter."
Mu Nanyan hung up the phone after she finished speaking. She looked at her phone, reluctant to make the call. Since that night, she had never contacted Lu Yiran again. She thought Lu Yiran had forgotten his promise, but he remembered it, so why didn't he want to see her?
All of Mu Nanyan's previous joy was dashed by this incident. What Lu Yiran gave her was not what she wanted at all.
After much hesitation, Mu Nanyan finally dialed the number. The phone rang for a long time and was connected when she was about to hang up.
"Hello, what's up?"
Lu Yiran's cold voice came from the phone. Although it had only been half a month since they last saw each other, Mu Nanyan felt that the last time she heard Lu Yiran's voice was several months ago.
"Did you cause the Mu family's crisis?"
Mu Nanyan was very calm when she said this, as if nothing had happened.
"Um."
Mu Nanyan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this answer. She really didn't know what Lu Yiran was thinking. He was venting his anger on her, but at the same time he didn't want to see her.
"Why did you do that?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before Lu Yiran slowly spoke:
"Consider it my compensation for that night."
Hearing this answer, Mu Nanyan looked ahead with empty eyes, as if the whole world had lost its color. The flame that once burned in her heart was now only a pile of cold ashes, allowing endless despair and indifference to devour the last bit of warmth.
Seeing that Mu Nanyan was still silent, Lu Yiran continued to add:
"If you think it's not enough, I can give you a separate sum of money."
So, all this Lu Yiran did wasn't because he remembered the promise he made that night, but was simply compensation for sleeping with her for the first time? What did he think of her? How was she any different from those prostitutes?
"I don't need your compensation. I didn't take what happened that night to heart. You can pretend that nothing happened."
Does she...really not care at all?
Lu Yiran didn't expect Mu Nanyan to be so heartless. Maybe it was because she didn't like him and wanted him to pretend nothing had happened. So Mu Nanyan really wanted to forget that night.
"Um."
"Then can you please stop suppressing the Mu family? I've already resolved the previous matter. The Mu family doesn't owe me anything, and I don't want them to get hurt because of me."
