Chapter 55: Stuck in a stalemate
Since the last incident in the Vietnamese restaurant and coffee shop, the relationship between Zhao Mengkang and Mu Shiying has returned to its previous state, and the two come to work together every day and eat together. And Leng Mufan never appeared in Mu Shi again, let alone saw Mu Shiying outside.
Although Mu Shiying felt strange about Leng Mufan's abnormal behavior, she felt that it was actually better. After all, if Leng Mufan continued to participate in his plan, he would not be able to grasp the general direction of the entire plan.
But sometimes there was a moment, Mu Shiying felt strange in her heart, because not only did Leng Mufan not appear, but even Nuo Feng, who was sent by Leng Mufan to monitor her, did not appear for several days.
Mu Shiying recalled the latest news brought back by the person who had just been sent to monitor the Mengfan Group: In the past few days, Leng Mufan has commuted to and from work as usual every day, and there has been no abnormal behavior.
Except that they didn't come to her. Mu Shiying couldn't help but wonder if something had happened to Mengfan Group, but it was obvious that nothing major had happened in the entire business community in City B recently. So if Leng Mufan doesn't appear, he probably doesn't want to see himself. That's right, being used by himself like that should be a big failure in Leng Mufan's entire life.
Mu Shiying shook her head, shook off all these thoughts in her mind, and then continued to pretend that nothing had happened, and continued to deal with the work at hand.
Until Secretary Zhang knocked on the door and came in, saying that Mr. Leng of Mengfan Group was outside, should he let him in.
When she heard this, Mu Shiying's heart skipped a beat, and the whole person was stunned, but it was Secretary Zhang who reminded her loudly before she came to her senses: "Let him come in." ”
Looking at the figure of Secretary Zhang turning around and walking out, Mu Shiying fell into contemplation again: I just thought of him just now, and he actually came over in the next second. Mu Shiying couldn't explain what the glimmer of joy in her heart was, she tried to ignore it, but she found that she couldn't.
"You're thinking about me." As soon as Leng Mufan came in, he saw Mu Shiying looking out of the window with a stunned face, such a scene, I don't know why he just felt that Mu Shiying was in such a daze, it was because of himself.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about, I, how could I be thinking about you!" Mu Shiying was interrupted by Leng Mufan's sudden voice, and when she turned around, she found that Leng Mufan had already come in and stood firmly in front of her.
"You're not thinking about me, so what are you blushing now?" Leng Mufan looked at Mu Shiying with a smile, I don't know why she hadn't seen her for a few days, her appearance and expression turned out to be more vivid.
Hearing Leng Mufan say this, Mu Shiying raised her hand to cover her cheeks in a panic, and said in a panic: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you coming here today?" Even Mu Shiying didn't feel that there was a hint of complaint in her words.
"And said you didn't miss me? Your current sentence is more like a series of complaints because your husband went out to work and didn't come home for a long time, and then you missed it. Leng Mufan looked at Mu Shiying with a flustered expression with a somewhat amused smile, he really felt that today's Mu Shiying was a little different from usual.
"I don't want to discuss this with you, but what the hell is the matter with you coming to me today?" Mu Shiying slowly calmed down her thoughts and asked in a cold voice.
"There's a jewelry auction recently, you should know about it, right?" Leng Mufan didn't continue to dwell on it, and directly said his intention.
"I know that everyone should have received an invitation to such an important jewelry auction." Mu Shiying said in a deep voice, she received the invitation to this jewelry auction yesterday, and Zhao Mengkang happened to be by her side at that time, in order to gain Zhao Mengkang's trust, so Mu Shiying told Zhao Mengkang as soon as possible, and asked him to accompany her to participate in it at that time.
Mu Shiying clearly remembered that when Zhao Mengkang heard that he invited him, that unbelievable expression, and then a surprised expression.
Mu Shiying knew that Zhao Mengkang's love and trust in her had risen to a higher level. It's just that I don't know what Leng Mufan's purpose is for bringing it up now.
"You accompany me and I will participate in the treasure auction."
"No, I've already made an appointment with someone else." The meal in Mu Shiying's heart was similar to what she expected.
"Make an appointment with someone else? Is that your boyfriend? Leng Mufan smiled coldly, it seems that Mu Shiying doesn't know that this auction is not allowed to participate in this auction at will, only those with invitations can participate.
"That's right, what? I can't bring my boyfriend to an event yet? I believe that Mr. Leng's female companion has many choices, so there is no need for me to accompany you, right? Mu Shiying was a little annoyed, Leng Mufan has always had a lot of choices, in the previous banquets, Leng Mufan's female companion was never alone, so did he think he was the same as the women he knew before?
"I think Miss Mu hasn't figured out the invitation restrictions for this jewelry auction yet, and no one who doesn't bring an invitation letter will not be allowed to enter, or does Miss Mu think she has the ability to bring Mr. Zhao into the venue without an invitation letter?"
Mu Shiying heard Leng Mufan say this, immediately picked up the invitation letter at hand, and found that it was really the same as what Leng Mufan said, because of the exhibition of precious jewelry, this jewelry auction is very strict about the control of the invitees, only relatively large listed companies will receive this invitation, and the invitation letter is even more indicated, only I can enter the event venue with the invitation letter.
"How? I don't know if I have the honor to be Miss Mu's male companion? Leng Mufan smiled faintly, as if he didn't mind Mu Shiying's cold attitude.
"Even if that's the case, I'd rather participate alone than be with Mr. Leng." Mu Shiying raised her head and looked at the smile on the corner of Leng Mufan's mouth, and her heart panicked all of a sudden.
"I had already gone to Mr. Mu before I came, and Mr. Mu was very happy to see us go together." Leng Mufan was not surprised by Mu Shiying's answer, so he had already contacted Mu Qingfeng before, and Mu Qingfeng had always been very optimistic about his relationship with Mu Shiying, so everything went smoothly.
"You, don't think that if you get my daddy done, I will definitely agree to participate with you, I tell you for the last time now, I don't want to, you go find another female companion." Mu Shiying became more and more annoyed, it was the same last time, Leng Mufan went directly to Daddy, let him be Mu's representative, and then pretended to come to ask for his opinion, and when he refused, he moved Daddy out, so that he had no way to refuse.
"I believe that Miss Mu's words should be just talking, you shouldn't let Mr. Mu down and be sad, right?" This sentence can be regarded as speaking to Mu Shiying's heart, from childhood to adulthood, Mu Shiying has always been with her father, Mu Qingfeng has not asked her to do anything since she was a child, since she experienced the things in her previous life, Mu Shiying knew that Mu Qingfeng's body has not been very good, so she will try her best to meet some of his wishes.
So this time, Mu Shiying will definitely accept Mu Qingfeng's idea, not to mention, in the depths of Mu Shiying's heart, she actually doesn't reject Leng Mufan too much.
"That's it, on the day of the auction, I will come to pick you up in person, I hope Miss Mu can make my eyes shine that day, I am looking forward to it." Leng Mufan said and walked out of Mu Shiying's office.
Leng Mufan was in a good mood, because this time, Leng Mufan could clearly feel the change in Mu Shiying's attitude towards herself, although Mu Shiying was still unforgiving verbally, she could feel her panic.
When Leng Mufan came out of Mu Shiying's office with a smile, he happened to meet Zhao Mengkang, who came to find Mu Shiying.
Zhao Mengkang saw Leng Mufan coming over from there, and he was very unhappy for a while, coupled with Leng Mufan's smiling face, the more unpleasant Zhao Mengkang looked at.
So he just said hello coldly, and skipped Leng Mufan and walked into Mu Shiying's office.
"Xiaoying, you can help me see which suit is more suitable for me."
As soon as Mu Shiying looked up, she saw Zhao Mengkang coming in with a magazine, and then put the magazine in front of Mu Shiying.
Mu Shiying took a look, this is the latest issue of men's clothing magazine, it seems that Zhao Mengkang attaches great importance to this auction.
Yes, after all, it is such a high-level auction, in the eyes of anyone, it is an unavoidable opportunity, and participating in such an auction means that you can quickly enter the upper class, and then it is a good help for your future work and life.
"Meng Kang, listen to me." As soon as Mu Shiying spoke, she was interrupted by Zhao Mengkang's excited tone.
"Xiaoying, or is this set more suitable for me?" Although he had just met Leng Mufan at the door, compared to the jewelry auction, Leng Mufan's appearance was nothing.
"Meng Kang, don't be so excited, you listen to me first." In fact, Mu Shiying really didn't know how to talk about it, but if she didn't talk about it now, she wouldn't know how to explain it until the day of the auction.
"Okay, Xiaoying, if you have something, you can tell me first." Zhao Mengkang temporarily suppressed his excitement and said.
"Meng Kang, I can't take you to this auction." Mu Shiying lowered her head and said in a low voice.
"Can't take me there? Is it because of that Leng Mufan? I just ran into him at the door, is it because of him? When Zhao Mengkang heard Mu Shiying's words, his expression was excited, and his whole body was condensed between his eyebrows, and then instantly turned into full anger.
Mu Shiying looked at Zhao Mengkang's expression of change, and was a little impatient for a while: "It's not because of Leng Mufan, it's because this auction has relatively high requirements for the identity of the participants, even if you go by then, you won't be able to enter the auction site." Mu Shiying suppressed the impatience in her heart, put down her body and explained in a low voice.
