44. Chapter 44
Li Zhiyuan pushed open the door and saw Mu Chen looking at him, the two glanced at each other, and Mu Chen hurriedly staggered his gaze and looked behind him. But Li Zhiyuan just felt that Mu Chen's eyes seemed to be a little red.
Li Zhiyuan sighed, Mu Chen is not a strong person, he used to shed two tears every time he was very tired or depressed in his heart, he always felt very impatient, men don't flick when they have tears, how can Mu Chen be embarrassed to be a twenty or thirty-year-old person. But Li Zhiyuan was in a complicated mood at this time, was he really attentive?
Neither side spoke, and the scene was a little depressing for a while. Ma Yubo's secretary hurriedly stood up at this time and said, "I'm really sorry for making everyone wait for a long time." This is our director Li, who came to inspect the company today. He turned to Li Zhiyuan and said, "This is the representative of the Mu team this time, Mu Chen." β
Mu Chen took the lead in stretching out his right hand: "Hello, Director Li." "There's a bit of tentativeness.
Li Zhiyuan slowly pulled the corners of his mouth, and the original feeling of cold alienation was like an iceberg melting, and it was shattered in an instant, and Li Zhiyuan's own beautiful face slowly revived because of this smile.
Slowly stretched out his right hand and held it, "Hello, Mr. Mu." β
Mu Chen's eyes lit up quickly, and he shook Li Zhiyuan's fair and slender hand vigorously. Li Zhiyuan's hands look beautiful, but in fact, because of years of practice, his hands are very hard, and there are very hard calluses on the inside of his fingers.
Seeing that the two had no eye contact, Ma Yubo's assistant hurriedly coughed twice, and the two let go of each other's hands.
Mu Chen rubbed his right hand, as if he had identified something, and clenched his fist hard.
Although Mu Chen's face was expressionless, his eyes were amazingly bright, and Li Zhiyuan kept the corners of his mouth hooked, and he didn't hide it if he was in a good mood.
The next time was the working hours, and the two sides seemed to have a clear heart, and for the first time there was no argument for interests, and all the problems were hastily solved in about two hours, and the contract was signed before 11 o'clock at noon.
As soon as the two sides separated, Mu Chen couldn't wait to grab Li Zhiyuan's hand, hold it hard, and hook the corners of his mouth stiffly: "Go to my house!" β
Li Zhiyuan lowered his eyes silently, knowing that Mu Chen had no bad intentions, but why was his smile so fascinating......
It's still the last house, but the mood of the two is completely different.
Li Zhiyuan sat down, and Mu Chen took out the tea set to make him his favorite tea. Li Zhiyuan looked at Mu Chen, who was hazy and strict behind the water vapor, and there was a trace of warmth in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout: "Mu Chen." β
"Huh?" When I raised my eyes, I was filled with joy and trust.
Li Zhiyuan lowered his eyes, avoided his gaze, and deliberately said coldly: "We have something to say in front." β
Mu Chen pursed his lips and kept moving, "I'll talk about it after drinking tea." As he spoke, he began to move like a cloud.
It didn't take long for a cup of warm tea to be placed in front of Li Zhiyuan, and he gently sniffed the fragrance of the tea, which was still the same as before, but it had always made Li Zhiyuan unbearable.
picked up the teacup but didn't drink it, just gently put it in his hand and played: "Mu Chen, you have told me a lot about you, but I haven't told you about my affairs yet." β
Mu Chen nodded and looked at Li Zhiyuan.
Li Zhiyuan looked into the distance, and a look of memory appeared in his eyes: "When I was about twelve or thirteen years old, I just found my master, I had a place, and I met a benefactor, so I was not so easy to be bullied, but unfortunately I was full of food and β‘β‘thought, and I let down my vigilance when I was relieved of the danger." My benefactor likes to paint, and he has a lot of painters under him, all of whom are capable people. However, if you have the ability, you may not be able to get ahead, I was working under my benefactor at the time, and I was very liked and relied on by him, so they hit me with the idea. Saying this, Li Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, the whole person was not angry and arrogant, obviously sitting on the sofa in an elegant posture, but Mu Chen felt a monstrous momentum.
But Mu Chen stared at Li Zhiyuan tightly as if he didn't notice it, with nervousness and worry in his eyes.
"At that time, there was a person in the group of painters, who could be called Yushu Linfeng Bi Pan An, talented and graceful Zijian, but because he had no background and could not be reused by his benefactor, he designed to know and love me, respect me, take care of me, teach me to write, paint, and play the piano. I used to think that he was the best person in the world for me, and that we would be together for the rest of our lives, but after all, I was still young and ignorant, and I couldn't understand people. Li Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Mu Chen, his smiling face was bright, but there was no warmth in his eyes: "When he was finally valued by my benefactor with my help, he took refuge in my benefactor's enemy, turned his head and betrayed us completely, I was almost cut off my neck at that time, and my benefactor was also pierced in the chest." β
Li Zhiyuan looked at Mu Chen, who lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, leaned closer, covered his face with his right hand, lifted it up, and said word by word in the eyes of the two: "So, Mu Chen, I'm afraid, I don't dare to play, and I can't afford to play." Don't blame me. β
Tears flowed down the corners of Li Zhiyuan's eyes, but his eyes as he looked at Mu Chen were still clear and cold.
Mu Chen turned his head, broke away from Li Zhiyuan's hand on his face, closed his eyes and calmed down for a while before relieving the pain in his heart, but some things became more firm.
Mu Chen opened his eyes, looked at Li Zhiyuan, and said firmly: "I am me, he is him, I know you are afraid, but I can wait, I believe that time will prove it." Don't avoid me, even if we can't be lovers, we'll be friends for many years. I understand you, and I won't force you. β
Looking at Li Zhiyuan's stunned expression, Mu Chen suddenly felt that a powerful and proud power in his heart was born leisurely, and his whole body was full of enthusiasm, and he didn't say anything more, leaving only one sentence "I'll cook for you", and left the room.
Li Zhiyuan watched Mu Chen's figure disappear from sight, and then slowly put away his stunned expression and hooked the corners of his mouth.
He said that Mu Chen couldn't run away.
The story is true, but not as exaggerated as he says, he does fall in love with the painter, but he is not stupid, he dealt with it in time when he first noticed that something was wrong, if it was really like he said, he would have died long ago.
However, it would be good if Mu Chen believed it.
In fact, he also knew that this kind of delay was not a long-term solution, but he had no better idea, and after these two months, he had to admit that he needed Mu Chen, his talent and care.
That's right, he admits that he is selfish, and he obviously doesn't like people and hangs on others, so that people can trouble him. But I'm sorry, his living environment since he was a child didn't teach him kindness and honesty, life told him, he wanted him to fight for it, and he didn't hesitate to use any means.
He didn't like Mu Chen, but he wouldn't let him leave if he needed him for a day.
Even with this means that he disdained the most.
Walking to the door, leaning against the door frame, watching Mu Chen busy in the kitchen, he couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, very proud in his heart.
But it happened to be seen by Mu Chen, the Huafa boy leaned against the wooden door frame, turned his head and looked at him with a smile, gentle and satisfied.
Mu Chen suddenly had a picture in his heart, ten or twenty years later, Li Zhiyuan at that time was really as mottled as he is now, but he still looked at himself as he does now, and he would still cook for him like today.
Thinking like this, Mu Chen also laughed, his eyes full of happiness and expectation.
But this smile is not so beautiful in Li Zhiyuan's eyes, he lowered his eyes, and mocked in his heart, sure enough, he hates to use this kind of unpopular means the most, I hope this is the first and last time I use it.
"How about shooting cucumbers, stir-fried rape with shiitake mushrooms, steamed broccoli with sausages and a pork ribs corn soup?" Mu Chen's voice interrupted Li Zhiyuan's self-deprecation, because Li Zhiyuan likes fresh vegetables, most of them are vegetarian.
Li Zhiyuan nodded: "When did you learn to cook?" β
Mu Chen's hand kept patting, patting the cucumber: "After so many years abroad, you always have to do it yourself." In fact, he specially learned it for the two of them to be together in the future, Li Zhiyuan is a good person, he just doesn't like to do trivial chores, obviously washing clothes and cooking is not bad, but he won't do it himself unless he has to, Mu Chen knows that he is not lazy or dislikes.
Just like he obviously has a much better tea making skill than himself, and even he learned the tea art from him, but if others don't make it for him, he won't make it himself, even if he can't do it, he will go all the way to the teahouse with tea to find his favorite craftsman to help him make it, but he won't brew it himself, and he has an extraordinary aversion to these things.
The meal was quickly ready, and the two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was much more eager.
"That's right." Mu Chen pretended to be casual and said, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to join the Mu family, what do you think of Zhou Jingxuan?" β
Zhou Jingxuan is one of the five gold medal brokers of Muhammad, although he looks ordinary but has a good wrist, the energy behind him cannot be underestimated, and the resources in his hands are inexhaustible, but there is a fly in the ointment, he seems to be the worst of the five gold medal brokers on the surface, and he has the least shares.
Li Zhiyuan nodded and asked casually, "What about An Xuefeng?" How is he doing? I remember more than ten years ago he was Muser's gold agent? Since Ang Lee withdrew from the showbiz, the relationship with An Xuefeng has faded, after all, with Ang Lee's identity, even if An Xuefeng is tightly held, he can't hold it, so he is also very self-aware and rarely bother, but he left a good impression in front of Li Zhiyuan and Ang Lee, and the advertisements shot by Ang Lee and the company in recent years have also used the artists under his hands.
"Him?" Mu Chen's eyes flashed with a faint mockery, "He is indeed a good mix, and now he can be said to be the head of Mu's gold medal agent, and he is also the one who has the most shares of Mu's among the five, but in the past few years, he is probably old, and his eyesight is poor, so he actually put the standard on Mu Zhengjie." Speaking of Mu Zhengjie, Mu Chen laughed at himself again: "But if you follow the development of the previous life, it is right for people to win the bid." After my death, Mu Zhengjie must have inherited the Mu clan created by my father, and he is also a discerning person. β
Hearing Mu Zhengjie's name, Li Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes: "I just got the news yesterday that Mu Zhengjie met Li Qingqing with the help of Li Anjing. β
