"Don't worry, I'm fine!" I looked at Mu Xichun and comforted, I really can't do it because of my own little grievance, let her efforts be wasted, not for anything else, just for her, I can't be impulsive.

Mu Xichun wanted to say something, but then Ah Wei suddenly walked in, and when he saw the two of us talking to each other, he seemed to realize that he was a little abrupt, and said with a guilty face: "I want to come over and help you clean up the tables and chairs!" ”

Mu Xichun smiled and said, "It's okay, then let's prepare together!" As he spoke, he walked over to set up the dining chairs.

The meals were quickly served, and a round table with a diameter of three meters was filled with all kinds of dishes, not to mention its richness, it was enough to see that Mu Zhongren's personal chef was profound, and the dishes were made like works of art, as if they were not for people to eat but to see.

After everyone sat down, Mu Xichun took two bottles of red wine from the cabinet, and just about to pour wine for everyone, Ah Wei suddenly said: "Xichun, what about the two bottles of palace special offerings I brought back to you?" It's rare for our two families to get together, and today is my uncle's birthday, so I can let my uncle taste this century-old French royal tribute! ”

As soon as Ah Wei said this, everyone was at a loss, thinking that they didn't know about it.

But I knew, when Ah Wei said this, I already knew that the last time on my birthday, the two bottles of red wine that Mu Xichun brought were probably the two bottles of wine produced by the winery he said.

It wasn't until this moment that I realized that the last time Mu Xichun said that the two bottles of wine were given to her by her friend, the friend in her mouth was undoubtedly the person named Xu Jiawei in front of her.

After I learned the price of these two bottles of wine from Xiang Dongkou at that time, I once wondered why Mu Xichun would give us such a good wine to taste, and now I can probably understand that at that time, Mu Xichun was afraid that he already had a love for me.

"What kind of hundred-year-old royal tribute did you kid say? What is it? Xu Yongchang asked.

An Wei looked at his father, then at Mu Zhongren and explained: "A few months ago, I got two bottles of Romanée Conti Winery Reserve Red Wine in France, and asked a friend to bring it back and give it to Xichun. ”

Mu Zhongren nodded after hearing this and said, "It's rare that Ah Wei still has this heart!" Then he turned to his daughter and said, "Girl, if you don't take out such a good wine earlier, are you reluctant to give it to your father?" ”

Mu Xichun's hand that was about to pour wine suddenly froze, looked up at everyone, and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry everyone, I really couldn't hold back those two bottles of wine, I have already drunk them!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and then they all laughed, Mu Zhongren shook his head and said to Xu Yongchang: "My daughter, I never remember my parents when there are good things, but Ah Wei is sensible and knows how to share it with everyone!" ”

Xu Yongchang laughed and said: "Don't say that, he does know how to share, but I have never seen him share anything good with his parents, and he turned out with his elbows together!" ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to realize that there was something wrong with what he said, and hurriedly said: "Fortunately, neither of us is an outsider, if it were someone else, I am afraid I would not even have the right to know about this matter." As he spoke, he glared at his son to show his dissatisfaction.

Ah Wei smiled and bowed his head silently.

While speaking, Mu Xichun had already prepared a glass of wine for everyone, Mu Zhongren raised his glass and stood up from his seat and said to everyone: "Today is a happy day, although everyone is not an outsider. But I still want to say thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday and for all of you! ”

Several people stood up one after another, raised their wine glasses and touched them together, and they all drank it all.

With this opening, the atmosphere that followed became a little casual, the two families were already familiar with each other, chatting with each other without any trouble, but not mentioning the company and the group at all.

I took advantage of the gap between their speeches to raise a glass of wine to Mu Zhongren and Xu Yongchang respectively, and both of them did nothing to shirk.

As the only outsider at the table, Mu Zhongren did not snub me, he took care of my feelings and frequently beckoned me to eat more vegetables, but Mu Zhongren's mother and Aunt Wu have been taking care of the two children and rarely talking to me for dinner, but I didn't pay too much attention to it.

Although the chess thing made me feel a little blocked, I still tried to behave naturally, the atmosphere at the dinner table was quite harmonious, and Mu Xichun's originally worried expression gradually relaxed.

The only thing that makes me unhappy is that although this is Mu Zhongren's birthday dinner, Ah Wei has become the focus of everyone's attention during the banquet, he is sunny and handsome, and always has an amiable smile, and his mouth is full of sweet and greasy uncles and aunts.

And as mentioned earlier, this person is very good at speaking, and every time he says something, several well-informed business giants can only smile and nod.

He also seems to have a knack for manipulating the atmosphere, losing no time in telling some anecdotes he has seen abroad, or making innocuous jokes. In short, he always keeps everyone's eyes on him.

In contrast, I, who was also a young man with him, seemed very clumsy and wooden, and I could only sit there and laugh awkwardly.

Although I always play the role of atmosphere when my colleagues or friends get together, I know very well that this is not my main battlefield.

And I know that no matter what the occasion, there will always be only one person who will be in the limelight, obviously this person can only be Ah Wei on this occasion at the moment, and I can naturally behave very well.

I thought the dinner would take place in such a calm and harmonious atmosphere. Unexpectedly, what happened next was the beginning of my torment.

Halfway through the dinner, Mu Zhongren suddenly asked Ah Wei: "Ah Wei, you will definitely not go out again when you return to China this time, what are your plans in the future?" Your dad has always wanted you to stay with him and help him with some of the group's affairs. What do you think? ”

Ah Wei pondered for a moment and said: "I naturally want to do something in the group when I come back this time, but I just joined the group as soon as I came back, I am afraid that I will be gossiped, I think I still exercise at the grassroots level." I heard that Xichun has made the branch in City A prosperous, so it is better for me to stay in City A to help Xichun do things first, so as to adapt to the domestic environment. ”

After speaking, he looked at Mu Xichun and said, "I just don't know if there is a suitable position for me in Xichun?" ”

Mu Xichun pursed his lips and smiled: "You, a great talent who returned from abroad, wouldn't you have wronged your knowledge by staying with me!" I still think that you can better show your talent by returning to the group with your uncle to develop. ”

Ah Wei Chunfeng smiled and said: "Listen to what you mean by this, there is no vacancy suitable for me in the A City Branch." If that's the case, then I'll be a small clerk under you. ”

Mu Xichun smiled and was about to speak, but Mu Zhongren opened his mouth first: "If you really think so, then I think there is a position that is very suitable for you." After speaking, his eyes turned to Mu Xichun and said, "Girl, didn't you just set up a construction company?" I think it would be nice to have Ah Wei in charge of this construction company. ”

Hearing Mu Zhongren's words, I, who was silent beside me, felt like a thunderbolt suddenly remembered in my heart, I couldn't hold back the vibration in my heart, and turned my head to look at Mu Xichun.

At this time, not only me, but all the eyes of everyone present except for the two children who were eating lobsters by themselves, all looked at Mu Xichun.

Mu Xichun frowned

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The head said: "I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, because I already have a suitable candidate for this position, and ......"

"Huh?" Mu Zhongren interrupted his daughter's words.

"As far as I know, you haven't officially appointed this position in the construction company, even if you have a candidate in mind, you can change it! You see that you have just established a new company, and none of the company candidates have been officially appointed, and Ah Wei happened to return to China at this time. In my opinion, this is the will of God, this position is specially prepared for Ah Wei, and it is perfect for An Wei to sit. ”

At this time, Xu Yongchang also spoke: "Don't be embarrassed by Xichun's niece, if this matter really can't be changed, it's okay to let Ah Wei do some deputy work." ”

Mu Xichun's expression gradually became ugly, although Xu Yongchang said so, anyone could hear it, he didn't think so in his heart. On the surface, he said this to relieve Mu Xichun's pressure, but in fact, he forced her to take a step back.

Mu Xichun pursed her lips, her brows furrowed slightly, at this moment she can be said to be riding a tiger, on the one hand, she agreed to my things, on the other hand, it was the pressure exerted by her father and her father's best friend, no matter how she chooses, it will inevitably hurt one party.

At this time, Mu Xichun's mother spoke: "Girl, Ah Wei has just returned to China, it is rare that he has the heart to stay and help you, you two have been playing since childhood, I think you will be responsible for this newly established company to Ah Wei, as for the previous candidate, you are the president, can he still listen to you?" ”

Aunt Wu, who had just finished speaking, smiled at Mu Xichun's mother and said: "I remembered what you said, I remember that when they were young, we joked that we would set a baby for them and let them get married when they grow up, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, my kung fu and two children have grown so big!" ”

Then it seemed that the two women were talking about something again, but my ears couldn't hear it anymore, and my brain suddenly buzzed, and I only remembered the words growing up together, baby kissing, and marriage.

I slowly looked up at Mu Xichun, who had already stood up from her seat, she seemed to be saying something to her mother, her expression was a little displeased, but I saw her lips shaking, but I couldn't hear what she said.

The dinner that had been in a harmonious atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, and no one spoke for a while. My ears finally regained their hearing in this moment of silence.

I turned my head and said to Mu Xichun slowly: "You just listen to your uncle, Ah Wei has returned from studying abroad, he is naturally well-informed, and he is definitely more suitable for this position than the person before you, and I don't think he will have any opinions!" ”

Mu Xichun looked back at me with complicated eyes, as if she wanted to see my thoughts from my expression, but this was my true thoughts, when Mu Zhongren proposed this idea, I knew that this matter had become inevitable, and Mu Xichun's struggle was in vain, because the pressure exerted on her was too great.

I really don't want to see Mu Xichun in a dilemma about this matter, but what made me say this is not because of this, but because of Aunt Wu's words: We jokingly said that we would order them a doll and let them get married when they grow up......

Although she said it was a joke, it was clearly based on the fact that they both had the idea. This made me suddenly feel like my beloved things were about to be snatched away, and the opponent was so much stronger than me that I had little room to fight back.

At that moment, I suddenly became disheartened, and I didn't want her to fight for me anymore, and my mood was instantly so low that I was almost on the verge of collapse, so I said those words to Mu Xichun inexplicably.
