BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22
Chapter 22: Old Master Chen’s Invitation
Mu Qiannian was not in a hurry and said slowly, “However, I’m representing the Mu Group and working with the Mu Group. I guess that’s why you invited me to meet you, isn’t it?”
Indeed. After Pei Mingchen’s investigation, there was very little information about the Mu Group, and even less information could be found.
It was too mysterious and too powerful. He was worried about the existence of such a mysterious and powerful organization.
Pei Mingchen was silent for a moment before his tone softened. “If this land is given to you, I want to see the boss behind the Mu Group.”
Mu Qiannian did not agree immediately. Instead, she thought about it.
“That’s impossible. I have no way of making a decision or making a promise on such a matter..”
Mu Qiannian paused for a moment before giving Pei Mingchen a chance to relax. “However, you can work with me first. Then, you will slowly be able to get in touch with the boss of the Mu Group in the future.”
Pei Mingchen said, “I have plans for that piece of land as well. It’s fine if you want to get involved. However, I’ll have to take the big end.”
Mu Qiannian thought for a moment but did not agree immediately. Instead, she understood something else.
“Sir, do you have other plans?”
Pei Mingchen was slightly surprised, Mu Qiannian said, “That piece of land is not important to Intelligent Technology. What you’re interested in is the impact after the construction of the landscape. This is a reconstruction approved by the country. If it’s done well, it will be a good response. You want to take the opportunity to cooperate with the country to give your own Intelligent Technology a good reputation.”
In fact, the reputation of Intelligent Technology had already been established. However, if there were any country-linked transactions, it would be different.
Pei Mingchen was silent while Mu Qiannian was confirming her guess.
“If that is the case, I can promise you that as long as I am qualified to rebuild, all the facilities inside will be provided by Intelligent Technology. How about it?”
Pei Mingchen thought about it and finally stood up. “I’ll get that piece of land. Let’s talk about cooperation when we meet next time.”
After Pei Mingchen left, Mu Qiannian heaved a sigh of relief.
She did not plan to stay any longer. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Eighth Brother at the door.
Eighth Brother came over after seeing Pei Mingchen with his own eyes. He handed the bag in his hand to Mu Qiannian.
“He’s already gone. Where are you going next, boss?”
Mu Qiannian took the bag and said emotionlessly, “I’m not going anywhere. I’m going home.”
She took her clothes and followed the sign on the wall to find the toilet. She had just changed back into her previous clothes when she saw the masked man who had returned.
This was not the direction of the private room. was he here to use the toilet?
Mu Qiannian looked up in a panic and saw that the man had his eyes on the sign of the men’s washroom.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Mu Qiannian did not even think about entering the women’s washroom again.
Pei Mingchen saw the corner of her light blue suit, but they had already closed. Pei Mingchen did not look at her for long.
The color of her clothes was really similar to Niannian’s. However, Niannian had gone to talk about work, so it should not be her.
Pei Mingchen did not have the slightest suspicion. He only thought that the color was a coincidence. It was probably just a person who wore the same clothes as Mu Qiannian when she went out.
After confirming that the boss of Intelligent Technology had entered the men’s room, Mu Qiannian rushed out hurriedly. She only heaved a sigh of relief after she got into the car with Eighth Brother.
The car stopped not far away from the hotel. It was already past eight o’clock. Mu Qiannian walked a few steps to the hall.
Pei Mingchen’s voice came from behind. “Niannian!”
Mu Qiannian turned her head and saw Pei Mingchen with takeout in his hands. Her brows furrowed.
“Are you only eating now?”
Pei Mingchen felt guilty and did not look into her eyes. “I wasn’t hungry before, so I didn’t eat on time.”
Mu Qiannian pursed her lips. She did not say anything to teach him a lesson.
She held Pei Mingchen’s hand and entered the elevator. Her gaze fell on his takeaway. “Is it the preserved egg and lean meat porridge again?”
Pei Mingchen nodded. “It’s not as good as the one you made, but I don’t know what to eat either.”
Mu Qiannian pointed at another box. “What’s This?”
“Fried dumplings. It’s your favorite. I was afraid that you would be hungry when you came back at night, so I bought it for you.”
Mu Qiannian’s heart softened. She had used the excuse of going out to socialize this time, so it was impossible that she had not eaten anything. However, she had indeed not eaten anything.
Seeing how thoughtful Pei Mingchen was and how he had prepared her supper in advance, she was very touched.
“I was too busy discussing the collaboration just now and did not have a chance to eat. Let’s eat together.”
Pei Mingchen nodded.
The next day, Pei Mingchen left early in the morning. When Mu Qiannian woke up, she saw a note by the bedside. “I have something to do. I’ll come back at noon.”
Pei Mingchen put on his mask and returned to the company. He took out the proposal that he had prepared in the drawer.
Assistant Li Pei was called in. “Boss.”
Pei Mingchen handed the proposal to him. “The land contractor here has to make some changes. The equipment provider will remain the same. Make five copies of the proposal. I’ve sent the content that has to be changed to your phone.”
Li Pei replied, “Yes.”
Li Pei’s ability was not bad. He was very agile. After Pei Mingchen confirmed that there was no problem with the proposal, he immediately went to the government to submit it at 9:00 AM.
The government’s receptionist read through the proposal and then said to Pei Mingchen, “We will review the proposal. There will be a seminar bidding in a few weeks. At that time, you will need to prepare the bidding documents and compete with other bidders.”
Pei Mingchen left. After returning to the car, he sent a text message to Li Pei, “Prepare the bidding documents. I will sort out the quotation in the document and send it to you.”
Li Pei replied, “Got it.”
After doing all this, Pei Mingchen took off his mask and said to the driver, Old Chen, “Let’s go back to the hotel.”
By the time Pei Mingchen returned to the hotel, it was already 2:00 PM. Mu Qiannian was sleeping soundly.
The sound of the door opening made her alert and awake. When she came out and saw Pei Mingchen, she blinked her eyes in confusion. “Are you done?”
Pei Mingchen nodded. “Yes. If you’re tired, you can continue sleeping. I need to rest too.”
Pei Mingchen changed into a clean set of clothes and laid down. Mu Qiannian fell asleep again very quickly.
At around 4:00 PM, Pei Mingchen’s phone rang.
Looking at the number on it, Pei Mingchen frowned. Why did he call?
Mu Qiannian was also woken up by the ringing. Pei Mingchen decided not to go out and picked up the phone.
Old Master Chen’s voice came from the other side. “There’s a family dinner tonight. Remember to come.”
The other side paused for a moment. “Bring Mu Qiannian along.”
The call was quickly hung up. It did not give Pei Mingchen any chance to hesitate or reject.
‘Why did he call for Niannian? Was it because…’
Pei Mingchen’s expression darkened. Mu Qiannian heard it from the side and asked in confusion.
“Grandfather Chen asked to see me. Is it because of Chen Jia?”
Actually, ever since she was reborn, she seemed to be constantly embarrassing the Chen family and Chen Jia.
It seemed that Grandfather Chen was going to do something this time.
Although she could ignore Grandfather Chen and the people of the Chen family, she could not ignore Pei Mingchen.
Grandfather Chen was Pei Mingchen’s biological grandfather. If she really wanted to be with Pei Mingchen, she could not disobey or make this elder unhappy.
Then what would she do if the Chen family went too far later?
She could not just flip his table, right?
As she was hesitating, Pei Mingchen held her hand and comforted her softly, “Don’t be nervous. I’ll go with you. I’ll protect you when the time comes.”
