Ten minutes later, Xiao He opened the car door and got out of the car, he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his face was indifferent.

Secretary Lin and the driver were standing not far away, and the two of them couldn't look this way, so they had to say things that were not salty or light.

It wasn't until Xiao He approached that Secretary Lin found out.

She hurriedly followed, and when she saw the boss coming alone, she couldn't help but look behind her, and she stopped talking.

Soon, the doors were opened again.

Secretary Lin saw Wen Yan come out of the car and walk with a step.

Her clothes were neat and graceful, with an elegant smile on her face.

Except that the lipstick seems to be a little redder, there seems to be no other change.

It seems that the boss and Miss Wen should have been talking about cooperation with Mu Sheng in the car just now.

Secretary Lin pursed his lips, and couldn't help but feel ashamed of his random speculation just now.

"I'm sorry, I just made up my lipstick. Wen Yan smiled elegantly at the few people present.

Secretary Lin nodded politely at her, and then looked at Xiao He: "Mr. Xiao, I just confirmed with Mr. Mu's secretary that he has arrived at the company." ”

The appointment was half-past nine, and it was now nine-fifteen.

Xiao He nodded: "Let's go in." ”

Mu Yunchen's secretary greeted the front desk in advance, so Xiao He and his party went in smoothly and took the elevator directly to Mu Yunchen's office on the eighth floor.

Mu Yunchen's secretary's surname is Xu, and he is a young boy. He has clear eyebrows and a good temperament.

When Secretary Xu saw Xiao Heyi and his party, he didn't wait for the other party to speak, so he greeted him with a smile first.

"It's Mr. Xiao and Secretary Lin, Mr. Mu is in the office, please here. ”

A very clever boy, delicate and clean, and a good match for Secretary Lin, Wen Yan couldn't help but look at him more.

When she turned around, she found that Xiao He was looking at her.

Seeing her look over, he quickly withdrew his gaze.

Wen Yan blinked, not understanding what he meant.

Mu Yunchen was standing at his desk drawing when he heard Secretary Xu's report and came in.

Xiao He walked into the office and his eyes fell on the man drawing behind the desk.

Different from Xiao He's suit and leather shoes, Mu Yunchen is wearing light-colored cotton and linen casual clothes, he has fair skin, a long figure, and a warm and elegant temperament.

Seeing Xiao He and his party coming in, Mu Yunchen stopped writing and walked out from behind his desk.

"Mr. Xiao, I have heard of it for a long time. Mu Yunchen smiled, his warm voice made the listener feel like being blown by the spring breeze.

"Mr. Mu is polite, this sentence should be my words. Xiao He also responded with a smile.

A few people sat down, and the two secretaries withdrew.

Wen Yan felt that Mu Yunchen spoke very gently, not to mention his temperament, which was easy to make people feel good.

Seeing that Wen Yan was looking at him, Mu Yunchen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao He, and said, "Who is this?"

Xiao He looked sideways at Wen Yan, and said in a faint voice: "The designer of our team, Miss Wen." ”

"Hello, Mr. Mu," Wen Yan smiled politely at him, "I've heard of your name for a long time, I like your work very much, and it's a pleasure to meet you in person." ”

She said this appropriately and humbly, which not only corresponded to Xiao He's words just now, but also expressed her admiration for Mu Yunchen's talent.

Everyone loves to hear nice words, especially from the mouth of such a beautiful and elegant woman, even if it is polite.

Mu Yunchen looked at her with a smile: "Miss Wen is polite." ”

Wen Yan stopped at the point and didn't say anything more.

Mu Yunchen took the tea set and prepared to make tea.

Xiao He didn't bother him, and waited until he had set up the tea set before he was ready to speak.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yunchen himself nodded first.

"Mr. Xiao is here for the design of the Nanhua Beach Villa District. ”

Xiao He was not surprised, before the appointment, Secretary Lin had already told Mu Yunchen's secretary about his care.

He nodded, "Exactly." ”

Mu Yunchen bowed slightly, his eyebrows drooped slightly, his face was peaceful, and he seemed to be hesitating how to speak.

His gaze fell on the purple clay pot, and after a while, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao He with a slight apology in his eyes: "I'm afraid our company can't do anything," he paused before continuing, "Honestly, this matter is not up to me." ”

Xiao He's eyes paused slightly, and he asked lightly, "What does Mr. Mu mean?"

Mu Yunchen's fingers fell on the purple clay pot, and his voice was faint: "This is what my grandfather meant, this matter involves a family matter of my Mu family, so ......"

He didn't say anything, so it should be inconvenient to say.

Xiao He nodded, as if to show understanding.

He was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "I heard that Mr. Mu likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, and he has a lot of research on calligraphy and painting.

Mu Yunchen was a little surprised, firstly, he was surprised that Xiao He had Zhang Daqian's authentic works, you must know that this is not something that can be bought with money, and secondly, he was surprised that he would ask to see his grandfather, because the outside world knows that his grandfather has basically disappeared in recent years.

"This ......" Mu Yunchen couldn't finish his words, and his face was sad.

The carved cast iron teapot is emitting pale white smoke, and Mu Yunchen pours the pot into the purple clay pot, and the hanging pot is high, and the action is smooth, which makes people look quite pleasing to the eye.

His gaze was fixed on the teapot, as if he had forgotten that he had not yet answered the other person's question.

After a moment of silence, he slowly lifted the purple clay pot, poured the tea soup into the fair cup, and then poured it into the quaint teacup one by one.

"Mr. Xiao, Miss Wen, try our local tea in the south. Mu Yunchen smiled slightly, and his tone was gentle.

Xiao He's eyes were slightly condensed, his gaze fell on Mu Yunchen's face, and then he responded with a smile and picked up the teacup.

Wen Yan smiled and said thank you, and also picked up the teacup.

The tea soup is red and translucent, and the tea fragrance is clear and fragrant, refreshing and refreshing.

She took a sip, the taste was clear and mellow, the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, the breath of Zhilan was pervasive, and the tip of her tongue was full of sweetness.

After drinking a cup, Wen Yan's eyes widened, and he looked at Mu Yunchen with a smile: "Good fragrant tea, Mr. Mu, what is the name of this tea?"

Mu Yunchen smiled lightly: "This tea is called Jiuqu Red Plum, because its color is red and fragrant like red plum, so it is called Jiuqu Red Plum." ”

"It turns out that this is the nine-song red plum," Wen Yan behaved like a studious student, "This tea won the gold medal at the Panama World Exposition in the eighteenth century, I have always been curious about it, I didn't expect to be able to taste it here today, thank you Mr. Mu." ”

Mu Yunchen was a little surprised, Jiuqu red plum is not a well-known black tea, maybe the southerners know more, but it is little known in the north, but Wen Yan has heard of this tea, and seems to know quite a lot about the history of this tea.

He is a tea lover, and not many people know this except for those who know him. Seeing that Wen Yan was quite interested in this tea, he also started talking for a while.

"Miss Wen must have studied tea quite a bit. He looked at her with a smile, his eyes warm and focused.

An elegant man like Mu Yunchen is easy to make people feel intimate, especially women, and Wen Yan is no exception, and she has a very good impression of Mu Yunchen.

The two talked about their understanding of tea and exchanged experiences, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Xiao He sat aside, his gaze swept thoughtfully over Wen Yan's face, and quickly retracted, his expression was indifferent, and he did not have any displeasure to be left aside.

At the end, Wen Yan suddenly asked, "Mr. Mu should have a lot of tea in his house." ”

Mu Yunchen didn't notice anything wrong, and naturally answered: "That's not true, when it comes to collecting tea, my grandfather has collected a lot, all of which are some years old, and some are older than me." ”

Wen Yan blinked and said happily: "It turns out that Mr. Mu is the real person in the tea ceremony. ”

Mu Yunchen smiled.

"I really hope I can ask Mr. Mu Lao for this knowledge. Wen Yan smiled with crooked eyebrows.

Mu Yunchen: "......"

It turned out that I was waiting for him here after chatting for a long time.

He glanced at Wen Yan with his eyes, and then looked at Xiao He, who looked calm and calm.

Mu Yunchen wasn't sure for a while whether Wen Yan came out casually or if the two of them had discussed it early in the morning.

Xiao He squinted at the woman next to him, Wen Yan opened his round eyes, and looked at him with a smile.

At this time, it is time for him to take a stand.

"Mr. Mu, the matter of visiting Mr. Mu is tired. ”

Mu Yunchen's eyes were silent, and after thinking for a moment, he said slowly: "That's it, please go back first, I will discuss with my grandfather, and then contact you, what does Mr. Xiao think?"

Xiao He simply said: "Of course." He paused and smiled slightly, "I brought the painting, if it's convenient, please hand it over to Mr. Mu directly, and I'll pick it up myself next time." ”

Mu Yunchen: "......"

Speaking of which, I still have to meet people!

He still felt that Xiao He was very good at talking just now, and he would listen to him, only then did he know where he was good at talking, it was clear that he was waiting for him one after another, and he had long expected that he would refuse to cooperate when he came today, and even brought the painting directly, just to meet his grandfather.

Mu Yunchen's eyes looking at Xiao He couldn't help but be a little vigilant.

Knowing that his grandfather loved calligraphy and painting, and that he was also Zhang Daqian's Danqing, this was obviously done in advance.

Xiao He's face was calm and let him look at it, his eyes looked at Mu Yunchen indifferently, and his tone was sincere: "I hope Mr. Mu can feel our sincerity." ”

His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, although his face is light, his words and deeds are not arrogant, but make people feel that he is indeed quite sincere.

Mu Yunchen was silent for a long time, and nodded slowly: "Okay, then I will help Mr. Xiao transfer the calligraphy and painting to my grandfather to see what he means." ”

Xiao He smiled slightly: "It's hard work." ”

*

As the host, Mu Yunchen was naturally thoughtful, he wanted to invite Xiao He and Wen Yan to lunch, but it was still early, it was not even eleven o'clock, and this point was not up to it.

Wen Yan made a suggestion to visit Mu Sheng's architectural model.

As an architectural design firm, it is natural to keep the models of the works that have already been completed.

This does not involve any design secrets, and of course Mu Yunchen will not refuse.

He took Xiao He and his entourage to visit the company and led them to the exhibition room.

The design of the exhibition room is simple, and there are no other furnishings except for the design models.

Most of the works are classical gardens, and there are also some designs that mix Chinese and Western elements, although they are only small works, but they still show the meticulousness and exquisiteness of their design.

Xiao He didn't have much research on classical gardens, he just watched quietly, and didn't say anything else, but he was gentle, and seemed to be quite interested in Mu Sheng's design, exclaiming from time to time, the joy and amazement in his eyes did not seem to be fake.

She asked Mu Yunchen questions from time to time, and the questions she asked were quite professional.

Mu Yunchen also seemed to be interested in talking, and patiently introduced the design concept and style of the work to her.

Unknowingly, several people stayed in the exhibition room for nearly an hour.

It was almost noon, and seeing that the time was almost up, Mu Yunchen proposed to go to dinner first, and Wen Yan reluctantly left the exhibition room.

During the meal, Wen Yan and Mu Yunchen chatted about the tea ceremony and traditional Chinese culture, and the two seemed to be friends for many years, not at all strangers who met for the first time.

Naturally, Mu Yunchen also chatted with Xiao He about company management and business.

In short, Mu Yunchen and Wen Yan talked more than they talked to Xiao He.

Mu Yunchen still had work in the afternoon, and after dinner, Xiao He and his party got up and said goodbye.

Mu Yunchen's secretary sent Xiao He and his party to the parking lot, he was meticulous and courteous, bowed slightly when Xiao He got into the car, and specially told her to be careful not to touch her head when Secretary Lin got in the car.

The more Wen Yan looked at it, the more she felt that this boy with a gentle temperament was a good match for Secretary Lin, which made her think about some gossip.

She looked at Secretary Xu with a smile: "Does Secretary Xu have a business card?"

Secretary Xu was slightly stunned, and then quickly smiled politely: "Yes." ”

As he spoke, he took out a business card, held it in both hands and handed it to Wen Yan.

Wen Yan thanked him with a smile, took the business card, glanced at it, and put it away.

On the way back to the hotel, Secretary Lin was still sitting in the passenger seat.

Out of the sensitivity and carefulness of the secretary's profession, she clearly felt the subtle emotional changes of her boss.

Before coming to Musheng, the boss's mood was quite normal. But he seemed more silent.

Although the boss has always talked very little.

Secretary Lin sat upright, did not squint, and very wittily chose to be a puppet who did not listen to what was going on outside the window.

Xiao He leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

It was quiet in the car for a while.

Halfway through the car, Wen Yan felt that the atmosphere was too dull, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Secretary Lin, what do you think of Secretary Xu?"

Secretary Lin: "......"

What the hell is she talking about?

Secretary Lin wanted to be a sculpture, but unfortunately he didn't follow people's wishes.

She thought about it for a moment before she replied cautiously, "I think he's quite professional." ”

Professional, praised, and without strong personal emotional overtones, it is indeed a very pertinent answer.

But Wen Yan was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

She blinked her sparkling eyes and continued to ask, "I mean, what do you think of him as a person, such as his appearance, personality, temperament, ......?"

Secretary Lin couldn't cry or laugh, she only saw someone for the first time today, how did she know the other party's situation.

Wen Yan tilted his head sideways and waited for her answer, but after waiting for her answer for a while, the man next to him spoke.

"What about Miss Wen, what do you think of Secretary Xu?"

"Huh?" Wen Yan turned her head to look at the person who spoke, her eyes widened, and she was surprised that he suddenly spoke.

Xiao He's eyes were indifferent, meeting her gaze.

"I think," Wen Yan put one hand on his cheeks, rolled his eyes, and smiled slightly, "Secretary Xu is very good, handsome, gentle personality, and warm temperament......"

The corners of Xiao He's lips raised a small arc, as if he was smiling but not smiling, but his eyes seemed to have some kind of mockery: "Miss Wen has a good impression of strange men. ”

Declarative sentences, not interrogative sentences.

Wen Yan touched her chin, as if she realized something.

She was just about to say something, but Xiao He suddenly changed the topic: "Since when did you start researching Mu Sheng?"

Just now, whether it was her and Mu Yunchen's discussion of classical garden architecture or their views on traditional culture, although they all sounded quite natural, Xiao He knew very well in his heart that these were all deliberately studied by Wen Yan before. It's just, why should she help herself?

His topic shifted too quickly, and Wen Yan was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

Her eyes were playful, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked: "Mr. Xiao's words sound like I have some bad intentions for Mu Sheng." She stared at him, smiling, "These are just majors that I minored in college, and the rest is just a hobby." Who knew that it was just so coincidental, and Mr. Mu was like-minded. ”

"Like-minded," Xiao He repeated these four words in a low voice, raised his eyes to look at her, and sneered, "It seems that Miss Wen also minored in sociology in college. ”

"Sociology, which is the body of knowledge that studies the structure and activities of human society, is too advanced for me to learn. Wen Yan smiled and answered his words.

"Yes," Xiao He smiled faintly, "I think you're quite professional." ”

Secretary Lin: "......"

Boss, don't learn from me!

Wen Yan didn't care, she winked at him, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for the compliment." ”

The car drove back to the hotel, Xiao He got out of the car and walked straight inside, he and the team still had internal meetings to have in the afternoon.

Internal meetings, which means that it is inconvenient for Wen Yan to participate.

Wen Yan naturally had no objection, and she went back to the hotel room.

Sleeping late last night and waking up early in the morning would have been a little sleepy, but instead of resting, she opened the laptop she had brought with her.

The computer displays a document filled with dense text and architectural design patterns.

This is a document about the Mu family's architectural works and interpersonal relationships.

The document was sent to her by Sheng Yu.

The purpose of her trip is to help Xiao He negotiate cooperation with the Mu family, as well as ......

When she thought of Sheng Yu's words, she suddenly felt bored.

The depression was only for a moment, and she quickly collected her emotions and continued to study the document.

She has so much to do that she doesn't have time to be sad about what her children are passionate about.

Before the age of eighteen, her life was so beautiful, she had a happy and complete family, enlightened and kind parents, a cute and well-behaved sister, excellent grades, and a beautiful love that she met unintentionally. But after the age of eighteen, her world was turned upside down. Since then, she has had to support a family on her own and protect her only family.

Other than that, nothing else matters, even if it's ...... Love.

Mu Yunchen didn't say absolutely, Wen Yan wanted to help Xiao He negotiate cooperation, and she would inevitably pass Mu Yunchen's level.

She had already thought about it, although Mu Yunchen hadn't given an exact answer tomorrow, then she would implement plan-B, but fortunately, the next day, Secretary Lin received a call from Secretary Mu Yunchen, saying that they would be invited to the Mu family's old mansion as guests.

Old Man Mu lives in the old house of the Mu family, and the meaning of this sentence is that Old Man Mu agrees to meet them.

This is naturally excellent news, and if Old Man Mu agrees to meet them, he will be one step closer to cooperation.

Wen Yan thought that it was their luck, but they didn't know that it was not luck at all, but someone was helping behind it.
