Chapter 10 Crossing the Line
She thought he would accuse or warn her, but unexpectedly, what she heard was concern, "Did he bully you?"
Nan Xi raised her eyes and looked at Mu Yichen. Her deep eyes were soft and full of concern, and she looked very sincere.
She couldn't help but think of Qin Xiaoze's domineering eyes when he was angry. She had known him for so many years, and he had always been like this. Whatever he wanted to do was always right. He was strong and domineering, and never cared about her opinion.
Now that they were finally separated, she would no longer feel wronged. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
"Come to me if you need help." Mu Yichen said.
How could she trouble him with such a matter? "I will handle it myself and it will not affect the marriage between the two families."
The most important thing for her now is to stabilize her marriage and save the family business. She doesn't care about anything else.
Seeing the bitterness in her eyes, Mu Yichen's fingers under the table slowly curled up. He could see that she was still in pain and needed time to get over it.
He really wanted to help her, but was worried that doing too much would affect her, so he had to give up, watch her silently, and give her some help when necessary.
"good."
The topic was too awkward, so Nan Xi turned around, picked up the gift box on the ground and handed it over, "I'll give you the skirt back."
Master DC's high-end custom-made items were very valuable. After all, they were not married yet, and their marriage was only in name only. She didn't want to owe him too much.
Mu Yichen said, "If you buy it, it's yours."
Nan Xi shook her head, and the words Qin Xiaoze used to humiliate her for wearing this dress came to her mind. She shook her head and said, "I don't have a suitable occasion to wear it."
Mu Yichen noticed her expression and could tell that she liked the dress. Perhaps it had been a while since she had worn it, so she wasn't as confident as before.
He pushed the gift box in front of her and said, "Nanxi, you have to learn to love yourself. This dress is yours, you deserve it. Besides, as a fiancé, it's my duty to buy a gift for my fiancée."
Nan Xi did not refuse again. She and Mu Yichen were in a marriage arrangement, which was simply a marriage transaction. In business, it would be a give-and-take relationship. Only by accepting his gift would he be able to trust her to do a better job. She understood.
"Thank you." She accepted the clothes.
Mu Yichen didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing her accept it, he opened the drawer and handed her a business card.
Nan Xi took it and saw the person on the business card. She looked up in surprise and looked at Mu Yichen.
"It's Zhao Dong."
"Do you know him?"
Of course Nan Xi knew him.
Having worked as Qin Xiaoze's assistant for so many years and having dealt with too many corporate managers, she was deeply impressed by Zhao Dong, not only because of his outstanding abilities, growing from an ordinary salesperson to the position of deputy general manager, but also because he was an employee of the Lin Group.
However, some time ago, she heard that Zhao Dong was fired.
"He is the deputy general manager who was fired from the Lin Group." Nan Xi continued.
Mu Yichen said with certainty and admiration, "He is capable enough to be a CEO."
Nan Xi understood instantly, "You mean, ask him to be the CEO of our Nanyuan Group."
Mu Yichen nodded, "Zhao Dong was fired because of Lin Rufei."
Nan Xi didn't know this.
However, Lin Rufei, this woman, thinks she is noble. After spending a few years abroad, she feels that she is quite capable and actually drives away Zhao Dong, the most core figure in the company.
"Lin and Qin planned to cooperate, but Zhao Dong raised objections and was maliciously fired."
“No wonder.”
If the Lin family doesn't cherish such a good talent, there must be a reason why they cherish him.
Nan Xi made a decision immediately, "I'll go see him."
Her brother doesn't like doing business, and she is now committed to reversing the failed decisions of the family. She spends more time at the Mu family and really cannot be distracted from running Nanyuan.
Nan Xi took the business card and left. She turned her head and suddenly remembered something. She looked back at Mu Yichen and said, "Thank you."
"How do you thank me?" Mu Yichen asked with a smile.
"I'll treat you to a meal."
"Okay." Mu Yichen smiled and stood up, but just as he stood up, his brows suddenly frowned and he took a breath.
Nan Xi noticed something unusual and asked, "What's wrong?"
When the old man got angry, his crutch hit Mu Yichen's back. He naturally wouldn't tell her, "It's okay, go do your work first, and we'll have dinner another day."
——
Not long after Nan Xi left, the secretary reported, "Mr. Mu, Qin Xiaoze, the general manager of Qin Group, is here and wants to see you."
"No." Mu Yichen refused.
Qin proposed to cooperate with Mu many times, but Mu Yichen refused.
Many of Qin's projects are not very glorious, and Mu Yichen disdains to cooperate with such a company. However, because Nan Xi is there, he has turned a blind eye to it for so many years and has never exposed it.
"Wait." Thinking of Qin Xiao's attitude towards Nan Xi, Mu Yichen suddenly said, "Let him in."
"Mr. Mu, I've heard a lot about you." Qin Xiaoze came in, followed by Lin Rufei. When he saw Mu Yichen, he took the initiative to extend his hand.
Mu Yichen didn't shake hands with him, but glanced at him coldly, "What's the matter?"
Before Qin Xiaoze could speak, Lin Rufei stepped forward and said, "Mr. Mu, we are here to tell you something. You have been deceived."
"oh?"
"Nan Xi, your employee, was fired for violating Qin's rules and regulations. She must have concealed the fact of her dismissal when she joined Mu's. I'm worried that the company will be ruined by someone like her, so I came to inform you."
Mu Yichen's eyes were like knives, scraping across Lin Rufei's smug face, his voice as cold as iron, "Really?"
"Yes, besides that, there's one more thing you probably don't know. She's Mr. Qin's wife, but she made some mistakes and divorced him. Unexpectedly, she came to work for Mu Corporation. Think about it, someone like her, who can turn against you so easily, and even went to a banquet under the Mu Corporation's name, will definitely damage Mu Corporation's reputation in the future."
"did you mean?"
"What I mean is that someone like her who has no professional ethics is not suitable to work at Mu Corporation. You should fire her to avoid unnecessary losses."
"Bang!" As soon as Lin Rufei finished speaking, Mu Yichen picked up the folder on the table and threw it directly over.
The folder hit Lin Rufei's arm. She was startled and shrank to Qin Xiaoze's side.
Qin Xiaoze protected her with a concerned look in his eyes. Seeing that she was fine, he looked at Mu Yichen and asked, "Mr. Mu, what does this mean?"
"As far as I know, President Qin hasn't even gotten his wife's divorce certificate yet, yet you brazenly brought another woman to my office to expose your wife. Your behavior is truly eye-opening!"
Qin Xiaoze looked grim.
"This is my personal matter!"
"So you knew that!" Mu Yichen asked back, "Since you know that personal matters are private, this is the Mu Group. It's my right to hire whoever the Mu Group wants. You showed up at my company with your mistress and exposed your ex-wife. You've crossed the line!"
Lin Rufei didn't give up, "Boss Mu, we are here to help you too."
"Put away your tricks. Not everyone is a fool and can be fooled by you."
Qin Xiaoze felt as if Mu Yichen was scolding him, "Mr. Mu, it's inappropriate for you to say that."
"You're mistaking fish eyes for pearls, Qin Xiaoze. One day you'll regret it. Unfortunately, you don't have the chance anymore."
