cooperate
"What? She didn't come to work?"
"Yes, Ms. Mu asked for leave last night. She said she needed to take care of some things and would come back in the afternoon."
Assistant Zhou Hang stood by nervously, not understanding why Mr. Yan was so angry so early in the morning.
"Good! Very good!"
——You didn’t go home all night, and now you don’t even care about the company, right?
Yan Chi stood up from the sofa, not even in the mood to button his suit. He glanced at Mu Qingyan's assistant and said word by word:
"Tell her to come to my office immediately after she comes back! Tell her that if she doesn't show up today, Yan's family won't have to come anymore. Got it? If you understand, get out of here!"
…
Shen Group Conference Room——
"Maybe I didn't explain it clearly. Mr. Shen, the deal I'm discussing with you this time has nothing to do with Yan's. It's a unilateral cooperation between me and Shen's."
Mu Qingyan looked at the frivolous and ignorant man in front of her, and for the first time she thought it would be better for her to work at Yan's.
I really don't understand why Lawrence Bedford would let such a idiot manage the largest branch of Bedford International Group.
If she hadn't been interested in its nanorobot research and development technology, she would never have dealt with it so easily.
The so-called nanorobots are naturally different from ordinary robots currently on the market. This concept was proposed by Nobel Prize winner in Physics Richard Feynman in 1959.
That is, humans can create a molecule-sized micro-robot that can use molecules or even single atoms as building blocks to reconstruct matter in a very small space. For the current robot market, which has huge demand, it is an extremely efficient and high-end repair technology.
In addition, if it can be properly combined with robot manufacturing in other aspects, effects and achievements that ordinary people can hardly imagine can be achieved.
Bedford International is naturally a leader in the field of nanotechnology and has sufficient strength.
It is precisely because of this that I would have been exhausted by this person in front of me in half a day.
"One-sided? I wonder what Miss Mu is planning to do to impress me? Are you planning to use the honey trap like you did with Yan Chi?"
The current head of Shen Corporation, Shen You, has been acting sarcastic from the very beginning and shows no sign of slowing down.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Mu, that's not what my brother meant. He meant to say that, although Mr. Mu is very capable, the plan you just proposed has all the manpower and funds to be borne by Shen's company. This is too risky, and I really can't help but ask a question."
This professional attitude, which was completely different from Shen You's, naturally caught Mu Qingyan's attention.
It seems that the Shen family is not completely foolish. This second young lady is quite acceptable.
"Vice President Shen means that he wants to see the chips in my hand in advance?"
Shen Chuxuan nodded:
"Please forgive me, President Mu. But now you are still the operations director of Yan's Group to the outside world, and the fiancée of Mr. Yan to the inside. How can we believe that this is not a chess game played by Yan's group?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Qingyan finally saw a sign that his goal was about to be achieved.
"Well, with all due respect, let me tell you the story of the rise of Infinity, the largest AI and robotics manufacturer in Country M!"
…
"Mr. Mu, please stay! It's lunchtime now. Why don't my brother and I treat you to a simple meal so we can discuss cooperation..."
"Cooperation? Seeing that Mr. Shen didn't speak for a long time, I thought it was a silent rejection!"
"No, you misunderstood. I'm just blaming myself for neglecting you before..."
"Oh? Is this true?" Mu Qingyan looked behind Shen Chuxuan and asked seriously, "Mr. Shen?"
At this moment, Shen You had lost all the arrogance he had when they first met. He looked at Mu Qingyan with an almost dull expression and said timidly, "Little Mu... Mr. Mu, why don't you stay a little longer and let my sister take you to visit Shen's..."
"What? Mr. Shen, are you not afraid of leaking Shen's secrets?"
"How could that be! It is an honor for Shen Corporation to cooperate with President Mu."
The atmosphere finally returned to harmony. Mu Qingyan was about to shake those hands when a whimsical voice suddenly interrupted him.
"Hey! My brother and sister are busy!"
…
At the other end of the corridor, a young man was sitting in a wheelchair with his foot bandaged.
Although he was injured, he was in good spirits. His face was really handsome and his clothes were very bold and unrestrained, which attracted many employees around to stop and take notice.
——Even the top robot designers would not be able to build such a perfect and exquisite outline model.
It was Shen Chuxuan who reacted first. He said "Excuse me" with a hint of apology and walked over to help the other person push.
Although Chen You looked unhappy, he still introduced:
"This is my good-for-nothing younger brother. He's been like this since he was a child. Mr. Mu, please don't mind."
Mu Qingyan waved her hand, not wanting to get involved in other people's family affairs.
But just as he was about to turn around and leave, the young man rushed over in a wheelchair.
"Mr. Mu? Which Mr. Mu?"
"Don't be rude." Shen Chuxuan patted the person's shoulder and reminded him quietly, then turned to Mu Qingyan, "Miss Mu, this is my third brother, Shen Yin. He has been hanging around in the entertainment industry and is ignorant. Please don't be offended. Ah Yin, this is Mu Qingyan, the operations director of Yan's, President Mu."
"Chen Yin?" Mu Qingyan asked instinctively.
"In the flesh! Beautiful girl, just call me Kinsley. How about we get to know each other?"
The young man performed an exaggerated British aristocratic salute, and then, as if remembering something, he tugged at Chen You's sleeve and said, "Hey, brother, why do I feel like I've seen this Mr. Mu somewhere before?"
"If you keep talking nonsense—"
"Oh, right!" The young man ignored Chen You's words and said as if he had suddenly realized something, "Mu Qingyan! Isn't she going to marry the heir of the Yan family? Hey beauty, I heard that Mr. Yan has a white moonlight. What's going on with you... is this a script of family feuds? What are you trying to do——"
"This young master..." Mu Qingyan didn't care about the young man's rude words and greeted him lightly, "Excuse me, it's rare to see you like this in normal times."
This statement successfully diverted the other party's attention—
"Beautiful lady, I don't like what you said! What's rare? Go out and look around. From the elderly to the youngest who can just walk, who doesn't know me? But it's too late for you to pay attention now. The top stars will retire in a few months..."
There was a hint of regret in his tone.
Mu Qingyan did not continue to be polite with him:
"What kind of job you do is secondary. In any case, you should pay attention to your health and behavior. After all—" She finally said, "Misfortune comes from the mouth."
After saying that, she nodded to the other two, turned around and left.
…
Shen Group Parking Lot——
"Sir, weren't you going to have dinner with Miss Chu Han? Why did you come down?"
"I don't want to eat anymore. Let's go back."
"Are you feeling unwell?" the butler asked worriedly while driving.
But I never heard a reply.
I don't know how long it took before a few low words came from the back seat:
"Hmm...my heart...is a little painful..."
…
In the conference room, Yan Chi sat in his seat with his forehead supported, ignoring many senior executives who greeted him.
Ever since he learned this morning that Mu Qingyan had not returned home all night, he had been suppressing his emotions all the way.
——This obviously shouldn’t happen.
Ever since Mu Qingyan moved into the Yan family, he basically treated her as a transparent person. They were rarely together at work, home from get off work, or even for meals.
It was as if he was silently resisting his father's stubbornness.
But last night, the woman really didn't come back. Instead, he felt a strange sense of anger and wanted to catch her and keep her under surveillance immediately.
Just like now, although the conference room was bustling with activity, he felt extremely bored and was madly wanting to see the person who had disappeared for a long time.
Yan Chi didn't even dare to think about what he would do if the meeting officially started and Mu Qingyan still didn't show up.
"Mr. Mu——"
"Mr. Mu, good afternoon!"
"Hello, Mr. Mu—"
The voices of greetings rang out one after another, and Yan Chi naturally caught the key words. He suddenly looked up -
The person who came in from the door smiled and greeted everyone in the conference room one by one. He was still wearing his professional attire, looking gentle yet capable.
But only Yan Chi, who had experienced last night, knew that the man might not be as harmless as he thought.
He stared at Mu Qingyan closely, and spoke in a very aggressive tone:
"Mr. Mu was absent from work this morning and was late in the afternoon. It's only been a few years, and he's so slack at work. How can he set an example for his employees?"
Mu Qingyan met the man's gaze, but turned away as if nothing had happened the next second:
"I wasn't absent from work. I just felt a little unwell when I woke up this morning, so I asked for leave to go to the hospital. Mr. Yan is so conscientious and responsible, he wouldn't even bother me with sick leave, right?"
Others may not have noticed it, but Yan Chi noticed a hint of sarcasm on Mu Qingyan's lips.
His originally somewhat worried mood instantly turned into a feeling of powerlessness like hitting cotton.
——Mu Qingyan...
He said this in his heart with gritted teeth.
…
“…The above is the budget arrangement for the next quarter. If you have any questions, please feel free to raise them for discussion…” The CFO made a final summary.
"It's been pretty much the same over and over again, with no discrepancies. But why is there so much effort being put into overseas promotion this time? Is Chairman Yan really planning to expand into Europe and the United States?"
"Yan's has inherent advantages in its home market, but if it were to compete in the global market, I'm afraid..."
“…”
Several executives quarreled for a while.
Yan Chi couldn't help but look across.
Normally when encountering such situations, Mu Qingyan is either typing furiously on the keyboard or writing quickly, and then putting forward his views concisely and fluently.
But at this moment, she was unusually motionless, and looking at her almost distracted eyes, it was obvious that she was in a blank state.
Yan Chi suddenly found it a little funny.
On a whim, he waited to see how his capable fiancée would react when she was mentioned in person.
"Boss Mu, with all due respect, don't you feel like you're at your wit's end here?"
