Until the dinner was served, neither of them had the will to take the initiative to deal with each other.

Aunt Mei also seemed to feel the low pressure in this room, put the food on the table and hurriedly left.

The meal was extremely silent, and the two of them were like diners who had never known each other to a table, and they were even stingy with each other's eyes.

After eating, Mu Shuyao put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen and washed them, took out the two bags of items he had just purchased, and prepared to put them in the refrigerator by category.

When she pulled out the horseshoe powder and hangover herbs, her hand paused slightly, thinking that she should simply throw them in the trash.

She stepped on the trash can pedal to open the lid and saw that the contents in her hand were in the bucket, but suddenly put her hand back and stuffed the things into the refrigerator.

After all, these are her hard-earned money, can she not give him food, and she can eat it all herself?

Mu Shuyao thought that this time Ning Hongjie was so angry that he would have to dry her for ten days and eight days, I am afraid that he would have to wait until she came back from traveling before he relieved his anger and forgot about Zhang Haoguan.

This time, however, she miscalculated.

When she packed up the things she bought, Ning Hongjie, who usually works overtime in the study at this time, sat on the sofa in the living room today, holding an iPad and didn't know what she was looking at.

When he saw her come out, he beckoned to her and motioned for her to come over.

Mu Shuyao wanted to ignore him for a while, but after thinking about it, why bother, the relationship is stiff, and it is she who suffers after all, and it is not she who wants to coax her?

Reluctantly, she walked over and sat down on the single couch across from him.

Ning Hongjie raised his eyelids and glanced at her, his tone was quite gentle.

"Come here......"

Mu Shuyao asked him with a squeezing temperament, "What are you doing?" He asked, and moved over slowly.

Ning Hongjie handed the iPad in his hand to her, "Take a closer look, which one do you want to work with?" ”

Mu Shuyao glanced at the screen inexplicably, and saw a long list of them, without exception, all of them were entertainment companies, artist studios or brokerage companies.

She froze for a moment, then quickly reacted, shoved the Ipad into his hand, and said categorically with a strained face.

"Mr. Ning, I don't need you like this!"

Ning Hongjie looked surprised, and after a while, he turned his head slightly, pursed his lips and looked at her with a displeased expression.

Mu Shuyao was not in a good mood, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds, but finally Ning Hongjie couldn't hold her breath and questioned her in a deep voice.

"What, Zhang Haoguan helps you, you can accept it happily, I help you, but you can't accept it?"

From his forbearant look, Mu Shuyao could feel that he was already on the verge of exploding.

But between people, there has always been a difference between relatives and aliens.

Generally speaking, the more intimate a person is, the less polite and incalculent they are.

The more unfamiliar people are, the more accustomed they are to measuring and balancing their relationships with the exchange of interests.

Therefore, in Ning Hongjie's view, Mu Shuyao gladly accepted Zhang Haoguan's help, representing intimacy.

Refusing his help represents rustiness.

But Mu Shuyao's views and understandings are obviously different from him.

She finally suppressed her temper, so she didn't slap the Ipad directly in his face.

"Mr. Ning, is Zhang Haoguan calling for help? It can be seen that I, Guanfeng and I, are simply a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, whether he is still me, he can benefit from it, which can be described as a win-win situation. As for what you're showing me, you might be able to easily get them to sign me up, but can you profit from that? Can't you? ”

Obviously, here in Mu Shuyao, whether it is Zhang Haoguan or Ning Hongjie, it is not the head line that she can lead their favors for nothing.

But Ning Hongjie obviously didn't think so, and after listening to her series of rhetorical questions, his face became even colder, and his eyes looked at her even more fiercely.

"Mu Shuyao, can my relationship with you be the same as Zhang Haoguan's relationship with you?"

Mu Shuyao sneered, and Chi Guoguo's mockery appeared in his eyes.

"What's the difference? You and I are just a contractual couple, whether it is property or interests, it is clearly written, in addition to the mutual prohibition of interference in each other's work and career decisions, I remember that there is also a clause that each other shall not ask for or use each other to obtain any financial benefits. ”

These two clauses were also present in the first version of the contract two years ago, and in the second version of the contract that was later renewed.

Ning Hongjie glared at her viciously, both annoyed that he had been hit by the stone he moved again, and hated Mu Shuyao's inflexibility and stubbornness.

"The terms are dead, people are alive, you can't be flexible? Besides, these customers I showed you, all of them have requests from Ning's, you want to cooperate with them, I am just a phone call, a gesture, and it does not hurt my interests, so that you can make money, and I don't need to pay anything, why not? ”

Ning Hongjie's rhetoric is actually very exciting.

However, Mu Shuyao shook his head without hesitation and rejected his lobbying.

"Mr. Ning, this is not a question of change, but a matter of principle."

Not to mention that she and him are only a contractual husband and wife, she can't comfortably use his efforts to obtain the slightest benefit.

After all, it is easy to take people's hands and eat people's mouths.

Moreover, even if she and him are a real husband and wife, she probably will not accept his favor and kindness.

In the past twenty years, Mu Shuyao had a difficult time, many times she was isolated, but she has survived.

After so many years of suffering, she has formed a concept.

All kinds of life are too easy to obtain, often do not know how to cherish, and at the same time, will consume people's willpower and enterprising.

It's like a beast in a zoo, if you eat too much free lunch, you will gradually lose your animal nature and lose your ability to hunt normally.

If they are released back into the harsh wilderness one day, these kings who dominate the wilderness forest may lose their ability to survive because they have been comfortable for too long, and eventually starve to death in the wilderness.

Mu Shuyao, who was extremely sober in his heart, after making his thoughts clear, he stuffed the Ipad back into his hand and stood up with his knees propped up.

"Mr. Ning, if there's nothing to do, I'll get busy first."

After speaking, regardless of Ning Hongjie's reaction, he walked around the sofa and went to the study.

She was busy in the study for an unknown amount of time, and suddenly received a voice message from Ning Hongjie.

"Make me a pot of coffee."

Mu Shu snorted and replied to him very honestly.

"There are only regular coffee beans, do you want them?"

Ning Hongjie seemed surprised, "Didn't you say before that you bought several different flavors of coffee beans?" ”

Mu Shuyao burst out laughing, "Recently, I've been working overtime every day and drinking it out!" ”

Hum!

If you rush to show him goodwill, she is a pig!
