Chapter 97: You Say One Things and Mean Another, I Still Understand You
It was already ten o'clock when Mu Sheng returned to the harbor.
Harbor, the most famous wealthy area in Jiangcheng, Mu Sheng's villa covers an area of three hectares, with a musical fountain in the courtyard and garden facilities.
But he rarely came back.
Except for a gray and white Garfield cat who is a permanent resident, the servants are all hourly workers.
He had originally planned to enjoy himself here today, but because An Nuan was participating in a competition, Zhang Yang took him to be contracted by An Nuan's classmates. After having milk tea before the college entrance examination, he asked Zhang Yang to take him back to the company.
An Nuan's performance in the competition was beyond his expectations. He took out the three gifts that An Nuan gave him during the interview from the file rack and looked at them again.
The gray and white Garfield cat smelled the scent of its owner and jumped from the cat stand to his shoulder. Mu Sheng didn't know if it was an illusion or something else, but the more he looked at this gray and white Garfield cat, the more it looked like An Nuan, the little fox.
It was also cunning. For example, now, it stood directly on his shoulders, not even bothering him that it was heavy. In short, it followed him wherever he went.
Mu Sheng was getting ready to take a shower. He wasn't going to play with the cat tonight. He had just unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt when his cell phone rang.
Mu Sheng took it out from his trouser pocket and Zhang Yang called.
"Mr. Mu, I have news. The board of directors has changed its stance on the document submitted by Mr. An, who you asked me to invest in. They are no longer opposing it as before. Mr. Lin even called me personally just now, and I rejected him as you instructed."
Mu Sheng chuckled. Although he had many doubts about An Nuan's three gifts, each one helped him solve an urgent problem, so it was inevitable that he would sponsor this little fox.
"They might make a bigger move next, so keep your people on the lookout. Oh, and by the way, An Nuan won the competition. Did the private investigator find anything?"
Mu Sheng turned sideways, and in front of him was a large floor-to-ceiling window, reflecting his beautiful face and perfect figure.
Zhang Yang paused, "I'm reporting this to you, President Mu. Please don't be angry when you hear this."
Mu Sheng: “?”
"Why, is the person behind this really the one I pushed?"
"No, the person behind the scenes hasn't discovered anything yet. But An…" Zhang Yang thought about the wording, "She was slapped by Ji Linchen."
Mu Sheng: “?”
"The private detective is still investigating, and the information they've reported so far seems to be related to An's father. Oh, it should be a classmate named Xu Jiao. She said Ji Linchen spent 30,000 yuan on her, and Ji Linchen's mother has been asking her to pay it back. This classmate is very capable. Before she even paid it back, she even used a trick to get Ji Linchen to slap An."
"However, you don't have to worry. An slapped Ji Linchen's mother and even managed to make Ji Linchen kneel down and apologize. Although Ji Linchen didn't kneel, his mother is in the hospital."
Mu Sheng: “…”
"So, what exactly do you want to say? Zhang Yang, has your work as Chief Secretary left you very idle lately? Can't you investigate this classmate named Xu Jiao on your own? Do you need me to teach you?"
Zhang Yang: “…”
"What I mean is, Mr. Mu, do you want to know about the relationship between our two families?"
"Zhang Yang, it seems you're not the one who's free, I'm the one who's free, right?" Mu Sheng said sternly, "From now on, your reports will only be about the person behind the scenes. If you make a mistake again, forget about this month's bonus."
Zhang Yang quickly said, "No, Mr. Mu, it's my inability to express myself. I didn't convey my true thoughts to you. What I meant was that through the private detective's investigation, I learned that An Nuan and Ji Linchen changed into two different people in just one day. Mr. Mu, don't you think there is some opportunity?"
Mu Sheng's eyes, as dark as a cold pond, released an unfathomable light, "For example?"
"For example, even though both families knew that Du Ming and Ji Linchen's mother were pursuing An Nuan's father, their lives were peaceful. Ji Linchen never skipped classes, never wore clothes more than the next day, or ordered takeout. But now he has all of that. An Nuan even begged for money on his father's behalf, helped him open a shop, and even helped a woman named Zhu Xiulian who sells boxed lunches."
"I think that if one person changes, it's impossible for both of them to change and reach a consensus. As for the interview, Ji Linchen gave up the sponsorship and An Nuan took his place. Did the school and Ji Linchen have any objections? Even if they didn't object, Ji Linchen's mother couldn't have been unaware of it. Everyone in the alley knew that Ji Linchen was the one we were going to sponsor."
Hearing this, Mu Sheng's mind flashed through the conversation between the two during today's competition. It seemed as if they had reached a consensus. "Investigate, apart from all the relationships between the two families, focus on this person named Xu Jiao."
Mu Sheng always had a feeling that this Xu Jiao was the key figure in the sudden change between the two of them.
He acknowledged that Ji Linchen had fallen in love with someone else, but An Nuan didn't seem to have any intention of revenge.
"Yes, then you should rest early."
Zhang Yang hung up the phone, but Mu Sheng asked, "Is her face okay?"
Considering that Ji Linchen lost the game and was so mad that he strangled her neck, the slap the little fox received must have been quite severe.
Zhang Yang was slightly startled, thinking, "Don't you think I'm too idle now?" "Boss Mu, I've actually been wanting to complain about you. You're really saying one thing and thinking another. You clearly want to know everything about An's recent situation, yet you insist on saying that you don't need to report unless there's someone behind it."
I understand you, right?
The private investigator will report to you immediately.
"It's okay. The private detective said he's in a good mood and is even singing a little tune."
Mu Sheng: “…”
I guess she would be happy if she was strangled to death by Ji Linchen.
"Okay, let the private detective keep watching."
