Chapter 362: The First Defeat
Wu Tong hurriedly followed behind his boss. I've been with Mu Xuncheng for so many years, and the last time I saw him so nervous was a few years ago.
Although Mu Xuncheng is not smiling on weekdays, he will always be a poker face in front of his subordinates, but in Wu Tong's heart, Mu Xuncheng has always been pressed by Mount Tai and does not change color.
Of course, there is only one thing that will make him so gaffe, and that is Leng Qingxi.
Yes, for so many years, following Mu Xuncheng's side, Wu Tong has deeply realized this.
Whether it was before or now, as long as it is related to Leng Qingxi, Mu Xuncheng will lose his cool and judgment.
In this bidding meeting, Mu Shi spent so much effort and almost succeeded, but at the last moment, Mu Xuncheng suddenly announced that he would withdraw the bid and withdraw.
Although Mu Xuncheng did not explain the reason, Wu Tong knew very well that this matter must be related to Leng Qingxi, otherwise the boss would not have rushed to the hospital without caring about anything.
Mu Xuncheng sat in the car, blushing, and doubled in his pocket, only to remember that the phone had been broken by himself in the hotel.
"Give me your phone." Mu Xuncheng stretched out his hand and said to Wu Tong.
"Huh?" Wu Tong was stunned for a moment, then took out his mobile phone, put it in Mu Xuncheng's hand, and asked inquiringly, "Boss?"
"I accidentally broke my phone just now." Mu Xuncheng said casually.
Was it really accidentally broken? Wu Tong asked secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.
Mu Xuncheng took Wu Tong's mobile phone and pressed the number that he had long been familiar with.
This time it went unexpectedly well, and the call was quickly connected.
Leng Qingxi's voice came from the other side of the phone: "Is it Assistant Wu?" Did something happen?" Leng Qingxi thought it was a call from Wu Tong, which was a little strange.
"It's me." Mu Xuncheng replied.
"Mu Xuncheng, how do you use Wu Tong's phone?" Leng Qingxi asked rather strangely, "Did something happen?"
"No, where are you?" Mu Xuncheng forcibly suppressed his emotions and asked calmly.
"Me? In the hospital. Leng Qingxi didn't understand why Mu Xuncheng asked like this.
"Hospitals? That's good, I'll come and see you right now, you wait for me. Mu Xuncheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his clenched hand also loosened.
"What's wrong? Did something happen? Isn't today the day the bid is opened?" Leng Qingxi keenly felt that Mu Xuncheng seemed to have something to hide from him, and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, let's talk about it later, my phone was accidentally broken, if anything happens, just call Wu Tong, I'll be there soon." Mu Xuncheng told uneasily.
"Oh, okay, then be careful yourself." Leng Qingxi didn't know what was going on over there in Mu Xuncheng, but she didn't ask, just hung up the phone with doubts.
After a while, Mu Xuncheng's car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
Wu Tong followed behind Mu Xuncheng and hurried to the door of Leng Qingxi's ward. Several bodyguards were dutifully standing at the door, and when they saw Mu Xuncheng coming, they surrounded them a little strangely: "Boss."
Mu Xuncheng looked around and asked, "Is there any situation?"
"No, boss, we've been staying here, nothing happens." The head bodyguard replied.
"Where's the young grandmother?"
"The young grandmother went to check just now, and she just came back and is resting."
"Why didn't anyone answer the phone just now?" Mu Xuncheng asked sternly.
Several bodyguards looked at each other.
After a while, the leader only said resignedly: "Boss, I didn't know what was wrong just now, the phone signal of the whole hospital was not very good, and we didn't receive a call from the boss."
"Oh? The whole hospital?" Mu Xuncheng narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Yes, it seems that there is some kind of interference, not only us, but even the doctors and nurses in the hospital can't make calls."
"I see." Mu Xuncheng nodded, no wonder he couldn't get through to his subordinates, and he couldn't get through to the doctors in the hospital.
"Hold on to it." Mu Xuncheng didn't say anything more, waved his hand to his subordinates, and asked them to return to their positions.
Mu Xuncheng gently pushed open the door, and Leng Qingxi was leaning on the head of the bed reading a book.
In fact, she didn't look at it at all, after answering Mu Xuncheng's call just now, her heart was in a mess, and she didn't know what was going on over there in Mu Xuncheng.
Although Mu Xuncheng's tone was calm, Leng Qingxi had been living with Mu Xuncheng for so long, and she could tell from Mu Xuncheng's flat tone that Mu Xuncheng must have something to hide from herself.
Today is the most critical moment for the bidding between the Mu clan and the Ling clan, it stands to reason that at this time, Mu Xuncheng should be at the bidding venue, but he rushed back, something must have happened.
Leng Qingxi felt that her heart had been hanging in the air, and she picked up a book by the bed, but she didn't read it at all.
Just when she was flustered, Mu Xuncheng pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing Mu Xuncheng, Leng Qingxi hurriedly threw down the book in his hand, sat up, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Xuncheng walked to Leng Qingxi's side and sat down, looking up and down several times, as if to confirm whether Leng Qingxi was really unscathed. Until Leng Qingxi asked again.
He came back to his senses, looked at Leng Qingxi, and shook his head.
"Something's going to happen, right?" Leng Qingxi asked reluctantly.
Mu Xuncheng didn't answer her words, but picked up Leng Qingxi's arm and took a look, sure enough, her arm was empty, and the bracelet was gone.
"Where's your bracelet?" Mu Xuncheng asked abruptly.
"Bracelets?" Leng Qingxi repeated: "Bracelet, oops, yes, why is my bracelet missing!"
Leng Qingxi found a bracelet on his body and disappeared.
"I must have lost it during the inspection." Leng Qingxi said anxiously: "Xiaomei, Xiaomei, have you seen my bracelet?" Leng Qingxi shouted, but no one answered.
Mu Xuncheng suddenly understood something: "Forget it, don't call it, if I guessed correctly, we won't be able to find this Xiaomei."
"How so? She just sent me back. Leng Qingxi didn't understand why Mu Xuncheng said this.
"Hmph, I'm afraid she'll have already fled by now." Mu Xuncheng Tie blushed and shouted Wu Tong, and Wu Tong walked in in response.
"Boss, what do you command?"
"You take a few people, find the maid named Xiaomei who takes care of Qingxi, and see if she is still in the hospital." Mu Xuncheng commanded.
"Okay boss." Although Wu Tong had doubts on his face, he still nodded and withdrew.
"What the hell is going on? Isn't it a bidding convention today? You're not in the venue, why run back. Also, What happened to Xiaomei? Are you hiding something from me?"
Leng Qingxi threw out a series of questions.
Mu Xuncheng sighed and said, "We don't want that project."
"What?" Leng Qingxi exclaimed, wanting to sit up.
"Don't move, don't move, I'm just afraid that you'll be excited, so I don't want to tell you." Mu Xuncheng pressed Leng Qingxi's shoulder and didn't let her move.
"But why?" Leng Qingxi became anxious, she looked at Mu Xuncheng, and asked eagerly, "How can you give up?" Doesn't it mean that everything has already been decided? What went wrong? Is it the Ling family again?"
"Hey......" Mu Xuncheng looked at Leng Qingxi, not knowing where to start.
The two were entangled, and Wu Tong walked in: "Boss, I've searched all over the place, but I haven't seen Xiaomei."
"That's what I expected, okay, you go out first. Send someone right away and try to find this person. ”
"Okay boss, but, the old lady is calling and asking about today's incident, what do you think I should say?" Wu Tong said cautiously. Just now, Old Man Mu called, Xingshi asked for the crime, and he scolded Wu Tong by splitting his head and covering his face.
"If he's messing around, are you going to let him mess around? This matter, so big, how can he be so willful?"
In order to promote this project, the two old men of the Mu family have been running around a lot, and now Mu Xuncheng has given it to the Ling family without saying a word, so how can the two old men not be angry.
But up to now, Wu Tong only knew that this matter must be related to Leng Qingxi, but he couldn't tell what it had to do with it.
He could only say hesitantly: "I'm sorry, old lady, only the boss told me to do this, and you also know the boss's temper."
"Are you a fool then? Can't you just give me a call first? What a bastard!"
Old man Mu rarely loses such a big temper with his subordinates on weekdays, especially Wu Tong, who has always been a young man he admires, otherwise he can't be arranged to assist Mu Xuncheng all the time, but today he is really angry with Mu Xuncheng.
"I'm sorry, old lady, blame me, blame me." Wu Tong could only nod and endure his mistakes.
"Why can't you call him, now people all over the world are looking for him again, where is he? But he will hide cleanly, since he has the courage to do it, what is he doing hiding now?"
"The boss's phone was broken, and now he can't answer the call, you see."
"Excuse, let him call me back immediately, otherwise don't go back to our Mu family, hum!" Old Man Mu said and hung up the phone angrily.
Wu Tong hesitated at the door for a long time, but decided to say something to Mu Xuncheng.
This boss and the old lady are their own food and clothing parents, and he can't afford to offend anyone.
Now it seems that the boss's mood should be better than that of the old lady, if he doesn't bring the words, maybe the old man will quit after a while.
Mu Xuncheng listened to Wu Tong's words and frowned.
It happened suddenly, he really didn't think too much, at that time he was worried about Leng Qingxi's comfort, where did he think of this.
He said to Wu Tong: "You call the old man back and tell him that I have something to do now, and when I go back in the evening, I will definitely give him an explanation."
"But, this ......" Wu Tong's face was embarrassed, if he told the old man like this, he would inevitably be scolded again.
"Go ahead, don't worry, I'll explain it to him." Mu Xuncheng waved his hand at Wu Tong and asked him to go out.
Wu Tong reluctantly retreated, and only the husband and wife were left in the house.
