Chapter 58: Find Someone
Mu Yunchen personally came to Yuncheng Group with the final design of Nanhua Villa, which surprised Wen Yan, because he could have sent an electronic version of it.
Although her team had participated in part of the design of this project, the part of the design of her team had already been completed, and the final draft of Mu Jia's production had also been determined, Mu Yunchen came to Yuncheng Group, in fact, there was no need for her to show up for the meeting again, but Secretary Lin still informed her, so that she was not sure whether this was Mu Yunchen's meaning or Xiao He's meaning.
She attended the meeting as promised.
It was not as complicated as she imagined, Mu Yunchen explained the reason why he came over at the beginning, saying that he came to meet a friend, so he brought the final draft by the way.
Wen Yan didn't know who his friend was, and he didn't mention it, and after saying a word, he began to talk about the final draft.
The meeting was not long, it was just a formality.
It was almost lunchtime at the end, and as the host, Xiao He naturally proposed a banquet for Mu Yunchen.
Mu Yunchen didn't refuse, but Wen Yan couldn't help but show a hesitant look.
When she and Xiao He have to meet at work, she can still use official business as a medium, but it is not appropriate to eat together and talk about work again.
Her mind was quickly thinking about how to avoid this matter, and before she could come up with suitable words, Mu Yunchen took the initiative to speak.
"I remember last time Miss Wen seemed to be very interested in Tibetan tea, recently I went to Yunnan, met a lot of old tea people, learned a lot of new knowledge, we can have a conversation later. β
Wen Yan's face stiffened, and then he slowly pulled out an unnatural smile: "Where, I don't even know the fur, Mr. Mu is the real tea lover." β
Mu Yunchen smiled modestly and acquiesced in her that she was going to eat together.
Wen Yan smiled bitterly in her heart, she really lifted a stone to shoot herself in the foot, she really regretted why she talked to him about the tea ceremony last time, and in order to see Mr. Mu, she also insisted on how interested she was in collecting tea.
People are real experts, specially to learn, and they want to share their knowledge with her, they are so friendly and full of kindness, how can she open her mouth to refuse.
She shouted silently in her heart, in fact, I am really not interested in Tibetan tea, last time I was temporarily crammed to study just to cater to you, just to let you take over the design of the project.
She can't say this unless her brain is broken, so at this time, she can only look at Mu Yunchen with a smile on her face, making a look of infinite joy in her heart.
Mu Yunchen also looked at her with a smile.
The two smiled at each other, and the occasion was harmonious and beautiful.
Suddenly, Wen Yan noticed something unusual, she looked sideways, and unexpectedly bumped into a pair of dark eyes.
Xiao He's gaze was as indifferent as ever, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Wen Yan made her feel inexplicably cold.
The cold eyes swept over her face, and then fell on the face of Mu Yunchen, who was smiling modestly.
Mu Yunchen didn't seem to notice Xiao He's gaze, he lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.
The white tea buds and leaves are stretched, like a light dancer dancing lightly in the water, and the posture is very pleasing to the eye.
Mu Yunchen's eyebrows stretched, and a shallow smile appeared on his warm face, as if he was quite satisfied with this tea.
This is natural, Secretary Lin has already been instructed by the boss, and specially prepared good white tea in advance, just to entertain him.
He lowered his head to sip tea, but he didn't notice the suspicious look on Xiao He's face.
His eyes were bottomless, and in addition to suspicion, there seemed to be a vague displeasure, but it was hidden very deeply, and it was easy for people not to notice.
Mu Yunchen didn't see it, but Wen Yan did, she thought that Xiao He was suspicious of Mu Yunchen's coming over this time.
For some reason, she has a very good impression of Mu Yunchen, and he gives her the feeling that he is a gentle and humble gentleman, and talking to him always makes her feel cordial.
It's not that Wen Yan has any special feelings for Mu Yunchen, but everyone who has gotten along with him has this feeling, and she even asked Secretary Lin, and Secretary Lin also feels the same way.
Seeing that Xiao He seemed to be suspicious of Mu Yunchen, Wen Yan's heart sank, and he was inexplicably worried about Mu Yunchen.
"Mr. Xiao, it's arranged. β
Secretary Lin just walked in and reported to Xiao He softly, breaking the wonderful atmosphere.
Xiao He retracted his gaze, got up, and raised his chin slightly to look at Mu Yunchen: "Mr. Mu, please." β
The group came to a Linjiang teahouse.
The style of the teahouse is simple, there is a tall plane tree planted outside the door, the autumn mood is strong, the yellow leaves are scattered, it is not lonely, but it adds a bit of poetry.
Secretary Lin has booked a private room facing the river.
The environment is elegant, the dishes are exquisite, and after a meal, both the host and the guest are happy.
Mu Yunchen seems to be a casual artist, but in fact, he is also a manager who is proficient in business, and he can grasp what to say on any occasion.
During the banquet, Mu Yunchen exchanged business management methods with Xiao He from time to time, and did not forget to share his Tibetan tea experience with Wen Yan.
With him, the atmosphere is not as awkward as Wen Yan imagined.
At the end of the banquet, Secretary Lin softly reminded Xiao He that he had a meeting at half past two.
Everyone had stopped their chopsticks, Xiao He looked at Mu Yunchen with an apologetic expression, and before he could speak, Mu Yunchen immediately reacted.
"Originally, I only made an appointment with Mr. Xiao for an hour in the morning, and Mr. Xiao had a banquet, but I still delayed your time. Mr. Xiao has every opportunity, if I delay your affairs any longer, then I will have to feel uneasy. β
He spoke a few words with humility and grace.
Xiao He smiled slightly: "It's Xiao who is not well entertained." β
"Where, Mr. Xiao is polite. Mu Yunchen still smiled warmly, he paused, turned his head to look at Wen Yan, and his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, "If Miss Wen has something to do, please go and get busy, the scenery here is good, I'll sit alone for a while." β
Wen Yan: "......"
Seeing that Xiao He had business to leave, she originally planned to slip away on the grounds of work, but Mu Yunchen's later words completely blocked her way.
She is providing services for Xiao He's company, and she is also half of his employees, originally he was leaving, so she would not follow immediately, but if Mu Yunchen also wanted to leave, she could push the boat and leave. But this gentleman actually said that the scenery here is good, and he wants to sit alone for a while.
He's going to stay here, and where can she leave him alone.
Last time she and Xiao He were in the south, Mu Yunchen's hospitality to them was so thoughtful that people couldn't fault it.
It stands to reason that she can't just leave at this time.
She sighed silently, but there was a smile on her face: "I'm an idler, the scenery is so good, I can't let Mr. Mu enjoy it alone." β
said witty and funny, not saying that he was staying with him, but saying that he wanted to "compete" with him to enjoy the scenery.
The smile on Mu Yunchen's face deepened: "Miss Wen is really good at talking. β
"Where, Mr. Mu is an expert who knows the subtleties of language. Wen Yan smiled with crooked eyebrows.
Xiao He on the side looked at the two people in front of him with gloomy eyes, and his indifferent eyes were so deep that they were frightening.
Secretary Lin glanced at the boss's expression, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
She felt that the boss was in a very bad mood at the moment, and looking at Mr. Mu's eyes made her very frightened, and she felt that the boss seemed to want to throw Mr. Mu into the Ningjiang River outside the window.
She suddenly regretted what she had just said.
In fact, if she doesn't remind her, the boss himself remembers, but in this case, of course, the boss is inconvenient to mention this kind of thing, and the role of the secretary is this, saying things that are inconvenient for the boss to say, and doing things that are inconvenient for him to do.
Eh, it's not easy to work as a worker.
Thankfully, things didn't go in the direction she feared.
Xiao He bowed slightly towards Mu Yunchen, his gaze seemed to inadvertently sweep over Wen Yan's face, and then he retracted it in a flash, got up and left the private room with sharp steps.
Seeing Xiao He leaving, Wen Yan unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and touched his nose.
There was a sudden silence in the private room.
She looked up at Mu Yunchen and found that the latter was looking at her with a thoughtful gaze.
Seeing her come over, he was not embarrassed by being caught, and smiled at her slightly, with a warm and elegant smile.
Wen Yan blinked, and suddenly felt embarrassed that her heart was being seen through.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, she took the initiative to speak.
"Did Mr. Mu meet a friend in the afternoon, do you need me to send you over?"
Mu Yunchen smiled meaningfully, his voice was warm and clear, but what he said made people a little confused: "Miss Wen's mind is very delicate, her personality is funny, and her character is good, so she is indeed worthy of deep friendship." β
Wen Yan looked at him stunned.
Why is this suddenly boasting?
She barely dared to admit that she was delicate and funny, but this character was ...... In order to cater to Mu Yunchen's interests, she specially learned tea culture by cramming Buddha's feet, and in order to meet Old Man Mu, she dug a pit for him, which can still make Mu Yunchen feel that she has a good character?
Wen Yanzhen didn't know if he was praising her or hurting her.
She laughed dryly: "I didn't know I was so good." β
Mu Yunchen's eyes widened slightly, and the smile quickly dyed his moist eyebrows, and he smiled so much that his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he almost laughed out loud.
"Miss Wen is really funny and ...... to speak," he paused, coughed lightly, and smiled gently and kindly, "Lovely." β
Lovely?
Wen Yan blinked, there was no word cute in her self-perception, Mu Yunchen actually thought she was cute.
Wen Yan felt that Mu Yunchen probably misunderstood the word cute.
After laughing, Mu Yunchen's expression became gentle and elegant again.
He looked at Ning Jiang outside the window, his eyes were as clear as water, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Does Miss Wen have a boyfriend?"
Wen Yan: "......"
The topic is changing too quickly.
Seeing that she was stunned, Mu Yunchen quickly added: "I'm sorry, I offended, if you don't want to, you can not answer." β
Wen Yan looked at him deeply, and felt that this person was really interesting to speak, which could be said to be polite and considerate, or it could be said to be leaky.
He had already said sorry in advance, and if she didn't answer, it didn't mean that he really offended her, and it seemed that she was too small-bellied.
It's not a big deal, Wen Yan didn't hesitate much, and said in a playful tone: "Yes." β
Mu Yunchen raised his eyebrows slightly, and Wen Yan continued, "It's in the belly of my future mother-in-law." β
Mu Yunchen blinked, and then reacted, and laughed for a while.
His laughter was so low that Wen Yan couldn't help but laugh, and the laughter was light and cheerful, like a crisp bell struck by a breezy wind chime.
After laughing, Mu Yunchen stared at her for a while, and then asked, "Then, is there anyone you like?"
Wen Yan: "......"
It's a bit embarrassing.
As far as the relationship between the two is concerned, it is almost no different from a stranger, and the private matters up to the point of inquiry are still acceptable, and it is a bit too much to talk about such a private personal emotion.
Thinking of this, the smile in Wen Yan's eyes faded, and he looked at him with a little caution: "Why is Mr. Mu suddenly so interested in my private affairs?" she paused, and deliberately joked, "You don't want to introduce me to a boyfriend, right?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Yunchen really nodded, his voice was still clear, with a gentle smile: "Yes." β
Wen Yan: "......"
She's really afraid that he will say the next sentence - introduce myself to you.
That's really embarrassing.
Fortunately, Mu Yunchen didn't open his mouth after only saying two words, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes, as if waiting for her answer.
She had no choice but to continue to gag and shrugged her shoulders deliberately: "If you want to mix in the workplace, it's best to be a bachelor." Now that life is so stressful, how can low-level workers like us have time to fall in love. As she spoke, she also pretended to sigh, "Love is beautiful, but it's a pity that I don't deserve itβthe fate of a single dog." β
Mu Yunchen couldn't help it, he couldn't suppress his laughter, and his clear laughter made people feel his happy mood at this time.
He'd never seen a girl so good at talking.
It's lovely indeed.
Laughing so much that his eyes were filled with tears, he wiped the tails of his eyes embarrassedly, and after his emotions eased down, he suddenly looked at Wen Yan and smiled meaningfully: "Very good." β
Wen Yan: "......"
Hearing her singleness remarks, he actually said it was very good.
She had reason to suspect that he was laughing at her.
Mu Yunchen didn't explain, he looked at the time, his eyes turned slightly, and he said softly: "Miss Wen has something to do, just go and be busy, I made an appointment with my friend at three o'clock in the afternoon, he should be over soon." β
Wen Yan sighed.
Just now she felt that she was forced to stay with Mu Yunchen, and she was reluctant, but chatting with him was easier and happier than she imagined, after all, there were really not many people who were so happy with her cold jokes. At this time, knowing that she could leave, she didn't feel relieved, but felt that time passed quite quickly.
She nodded: "Okay, then I'll go first, if Mr. Mu needs a tour guide in Jianning, please feel free to contact me." β
The latter sentence is, of course, a polite remark.
"Thank you, Miss Wen. Mu Yunchen smiled and thanked him.
Wen Yan picked up her bag and got up to leave, and when she walked to the door, she suddenly turned around and glanced at Mu Yunchen deeply: "Mr. Mu, what happened last time wasn't my luck, right?"
Mu Yunchen was stunned, but quickly understood what she said last time.
He stared at her with a gentle expression, but did not answer.
Wen Yan smiled slightly, she already had the answer in her heart, and her eyes were thoughtful: "Let me guess again, this friend of Mr. Mu should also happen to be someone I know, right?"
This time, Mu Yunchen couldn't help but show a look of surprise, his eyes widened slightly, and his eyes were meaningful.
After a while, he curled the corners of his lips slightly: "You are really smart, no wonder ......"
As if realizing that he had almost lost his words, he coughed lightly and faintly disguised his past.
Wen Yan looked at him for a while, and seeing that he had no intention of explaining, she didn't care, she curled her lips and smiled, bowed her head lightly at him, and then raised her head slightly and strode away.
Mu Yunchen shook his head helplessly, feeling as if he had accidentally let her see through.
The scraps on the table have long been removed by the waiter, and in addition to the dining table, there is also a set of root carved tea tables in the private room.
At this time, Mu Yunchen was sitting behind the tea table, quietly boiling water, waiting for the person he had made an appointment.
When the cast-iron carved kettle gurgled with white smoke, the door of the private room was pushed open again.
The person who came was wearing a white casual suit, with a long figure, two straight long legs that perfectly fit the silky white trousers, a noble and handsome face, and a few strands of hair on the forehead fell on the eyebrows and eyes, looking like a noble son.
He put one hand in his pocket and the other on the doorknob, looking at the moist man behind the tea table, his lips bent slightly, and a pair of peach blossom eyes burst into a lazy smile.
"Brother Chen, why are you willing to leave your sister-in-law and come out alone?"
Duan Chen looked at Mu Yunchen with a playful look on his face, smiling lazily.
Mu Yunchen looked up at him and smiled slightly: "Come in and talk about it." β
Duan Chen smiled, didn't tease him anymore, stepped forward with two long legs, and with a casual push of his hand, the door was closed.
He sat down across from him, leaning lazily against the back of a log chair, his legs folded casually, his posture languid and casual.
"Why did you come to Jianning suddenly?" Duan Chen asked.
Mu Yunchen lowered his eyes, poured water into the purple clay pot with a pot, and his voice rose lightly: "Come and find someone." β
"Who are you looking for?" Duan Chen asked again.
Mu Yunchen sighed a little sadly: "Don't talk about this," he poured tea and handed a cup to Duan Chen before continuing, "I went to the Yuncheng Group today and met Miss Wen. β
Duan Chen's expression suddenly became uncomfortable, he brushed the broken hair in front of his forehead, coughed lightly, and then said, "She mentioned me?"
"Not really. Mu Yunchen said.
Duan Chen snorted, seemingly relieved.
"But," Mu Yunchen raised his eyes to look at him, a playful smile in his eyes, "she should have guessed." β
Hearing this, Duan Chen's expression was a little complicated.
He put his head against the back of his chair and sighed faintly, "You said she was so smart, why can't she remember who I am......" He almost muttered later, "Maybe she never took that to heart." β
It was rare for Mu Yunchen to see his lonely expression, and he was also in a mood of ridicule for a while.
"She doesn't remember you, but Zhiyi hasn't forgotten you, and your sister-in-law said that Zhiyi also came to Jianning. β
Duan Chen was still feeling sorry for himself, and when he heard Mu Yunchen mention Qin Zhiyi, his eyebrows couldn't help but tremble.
"Brother Chen, you said that your sister-in-law is so gentle and virtuous, how can she be so ......" He couldn't think of the right word for a while, he originally wanted to say tough, but considering that Qin Zhiyi was Mu Yunchen's sister-in-law, he had to change his words stiffly, "Such an unusual cousin." β
Mu Yunchen smiled, and after a while, he sighed helplessly: "This is also one of the purposes of my visit this time," he paused and smiled meaningfully, "Your sister-in-law thinks that your kid is too romantic, let me persuade Zhiyi and let her die for you as soon as possible." β
Duan Chen knew what he was referring to, and his face showed a hint of embarrassment: "Brother Chen, if you can make Qin Zhiyi die, I will agree to whatever you ask me to do in the future", he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed lowly, "I've been looking for her for many years, I'm really...... Love her. β
Who she was referring to, Duan Chen didn't say, but Mu Yunchen understood.
"Miss Wen is really good, and I have a lot of love with her, so when you said that I would help take over the design of Nanhua Villa, I would agree, but," he paused, and looked at him leisurely, his eyes thoughtful, "Are you sure you like it?"
Duan Chen suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, frowning, with puzzlement in his eyes.
"You ......"
Mu Yunchen was about to continue, when there was a sudden knock at the door, and then the door was slowly pushed open.
