Lunch was eaten in a French restaurant, and after confirming that Mu Shuyao did not have a cold, Ning Hongjie asked people to open a bottle of red wine.

The doctor at the clinic reminded Mu Shuyao to drink as little as possible.

But Mu Shuyao was afraid that Ning Hongjie would be suspicious, so he took the wine he handed over and bargained.

"I'll just drink a little bit, okay?"

Mu Shuyao slept for most of the morning, as if he hadn't woken up yet, the whole person was a little lazy, and then deliberately pretended to be pitiful, those beautiful eyes were wet and seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and his long eyelashes were sparkling at Ning Hongjie.

Ning Hongjie was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Well, don't drink if you don't want to......"

Today's Ning Hongjie is particularly good at talking, and Mu Shu secretly compares "yes".

During the meal, she really just took a sip of wine, and Ning Hongjie chatted with her about some industry rules and quotes in the fashion industry as if she hadn't seen it.

Mu Shuyao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard him speak the truth.

"Mr. Ning, are you preparing for the development of the fashion industry?"

Ning Hongjie was quick to deny her speculation, "No, the Ning clan will not have this plan in ten years. ”

Seeing Mu Shuyao's confused face, he immediately explained, "A few days ago, Lin Boji chatted a few words when he delivered the ticket. ”

In other words, what he talked to her about was heard from Lin Boji.

Mu Shuyao was so smart, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "He wants to pull sponsorship?" Or do you want to invest? ”

Ning Hongjie looked at her quietly, obviously, acquiescing to her guess.

Mu Shuyao was not interested in who he wanted to invest in, but since she mentioned it, she said it relatively neutrally.

"The pompous style has been quite popular in recent years, and, according to the current situation, it should be able to prevail for a while, and with his fame, short-term investment should still be able to make money."

Ning Hongjie was noncommittal, and after a while, he said, "I don't like his tune, what about you, what do you think?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a little fat." , Mu Shuyao just ate a bite of meat, felt tired, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "But this kind of grandstanding # pet style has never lacked people, so the commercial value should be quite high." ”

Ning Hongjie was amused by her description, and took a sip of wine from his wine glass, looking happy and authentic.

"If Limboge knew that you described his design as fatty meat, he would probably vomit blood."

Mu Shuyao smiled, "What's this, it's like the major cuisines born to meet the needs of mortals, some people love to eat Dongpo meat, and some people love to eat boiled vegetables, personal preferences, the market is so big, it is impossible to meet all preferences." ”

Ning Hongjie stared at her with interest, "Then what is your design, boiled greens?" ”

Mu Shuyao thought for a while, "It should be a steamed seafood bar, retain the original flavor and umami, add some soy sauce and shallots appropriately to improve the freshness and remove the fishiness, and fully respect the original taste and personality of various ingredients." ”

Ning Hongjie looked at her intently, and after a while, he picked up the wine glass and handed it to her, "To your steamed seafood!" ”

Mu Shuyao smiled and picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you!" He took a shallow sip of red wine, then heard him ask, "Doesn't your studio have expansion plans?" ”

Mu Shuyao raised his eyelids and looked at him with a smile, "Ning always has the intention of investing?" ”

This was originally said to tease him and have fun.

After all, Lin Boji's such a mature and successful brand can't impress him, thinking about such a budding small role, how can a predator like Ning's be eye-catching?

Who knows, Ning Hongjie actually replied to her without thinking about it, "Yes, do you want to think about it?" ”

Mu Shuyao was stunned on the spot, staring at his eyes seriously, wanting to see a laughing look in his eyes.

However, there was no hint of ridicule in his deep eyes.

"Mr. Ning, are you serious?"

Ning Hongjie nodded, "Naturally! I never joke about business. ”

The alarm bell in Mu Shuyao's heart rang for a long time, and he became more and more suspicious that Ning Hongjie had really been replaced.

However, Mu Shuyao didn't have the heart to delve into why Ning Hongjie suddenly changed the direction of the wind, and categorically rejected his proposal.

"Then thank you, Mr. Ning, however, I have no plans to expand for the time being."

Mu Shuyao refused so neatly, which surprised Ning Hongjie.

"Why? Are you worried that I will be involved in decision-making after investing? That's not necessary, I only get dividends according to the amount invested, and nothing else. ”

In the face of such a huge temptation#, Mu Shuyao still shook his head resolutely.

"No, at present, both my design level and management level need to be honed and improved. If the scale of the studio expands rapidly, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep up with the design and management, so it is better to accumulate and grow slowly at the current pace. ”

Mu Shuyao has always been a sober and self-aware person, she rejected Ning Hongjie, on the one hand, she didn't want to have too much money to do with Ning Hongjie, and on the other hand, she considered it out of her own ability.

She believes in her own talent and abilities, but she is not blindly arrogant.

Ning Hongjie looked pity, but he didn't persuade again, but looked at her with approving eyes.

"Well, then you have to work hard, with your ability and mind, you will soon achieve something!"

Mu Shuyao took the initiative to raise the cup and handed it to him, "Thank you!" ”

Ning Hongjie reached out and took the wine glass in her hand, "Don't drink it if you're uncomfortable!" ”

Mu Shuyao smiled gratefully at him.

Ning Hongjie took a sip of wine, "Among the people I know, your age and qualifications are not outstanding, it is rare that you are very sober and willing to be down-to-earth." ”

He stared at her deeply, his dark eyes undisguised his appreciation and approval.

Mu Shuyao was embarrassed by his face, laughed and coughed twice, touched the tip of his nose and replied to him.

"Mr. Ning, don't boast, if you praise me again, I'll find a sand pile and bury my face in it."

A meal that is rare and extremely pleasant.

It was only at this time that Mu Shuyao realized that Ning Hongjie was not really as centered on himself as she thought.

As long as he is willing, he can also lift people to the clouds and make you laugh in his praise and compliments.

After settling the bill, Ning Hongjie looked at his watch, "The flight at seven o'clock, we will leave from the hotel to the airport at about five o'clock, do you have any arrangements next?" ”

At the beginning, Mu Shuyao planned to go to a photography exhibition today, but Ning Hongjie, who came with her, disrupted her arrangement.

"You've got something to do, don't you? I'll go out and walk around by myself and get back to the hotel by five o'clock, okay? ”

Ning Hongjie said, "I'm fine, where do you want to go, I'll accompany you." ”

Mu Shuyao didn't want him to accompany her, and she didn't think he would accompany her to do such a boring thing.

"I want to go to the photography exhibition, you can go back to the hotel and rest first."

Who knows, Ning Hongjie said, "I'll go with you." ”
