78 -78: Mucen, Shall We Meet the Mayor’s Daughter Tonight?
Ou Mucen: “…”
He gazed helplessly at the ceiling for a while before finally putting down his phone, turning on speaker mode, and climbing out of bed.
“Who told you I took their stock channels?”
“Your second brother came to pay respects to the old man this morning and mentioned it himself.
He also said it was to compensate you, so I gave you a call to ask about it,” Bai Tingfang hastily explained over the phone upon sensing her son’s displeasure.
There was no helping it; she knew her son well.
Ever since he was young, the last thing he liked was people keeping tabs on his movements or planting spies around him.
If he ever found out about such things, it wouldn’t go well for anyone involved, not even if it was his own mother.
Hearing that it was Ou Muyuan who went to the old man that morning, the man on the phone did indeed look less upset than before.
“Hmm, I got it; I just signed the contract yesterday.”
“Really?
That’s wonderful!
Listen, Xiaocen, you must seize this opportunity well this time; you can’t let them get the upper hand again…”
She prattled on and on…
Ou Mucen wasn’t really listening; instead, he carelessly set the phone on the washbasin and began tending to his own business in the mirror.
“By the way, Xiaocen, your father has invited the mayor over to our house tonight.
Could you come back for a bit?”
Ou Mucen, who was shaving, paused: “The mayor?
What’s he inviting him for?”
Bai Tingfang: “It’s probably some investment issues.
I don’t really understand it myself, but what I do know is that he’s bringing his daughter along.”
His daughter?
The overbearing mayor’s precious daughter?
The man, who was washing his face, immediately felt a wave of repulsion at the news: “I’m not available; I’ve got an appointment tonight.”
“What appointment could you possibly have?
Let me tell you, Mucen, that kid from the second house was so thrilled to hear that the mayor’s daughter was coming that he didn’t even go to work today, and here you are telling me you have an appointment tonight?
You…”
The line went silent, and the crisp “beep beep” of the dial tone almost made her explode with rage.
Ah!
What kind of son was she raising?
Always at odds with her—it’s not like asking him to meet a girl was tantamount to taking his life, was it?
Does he not realize that’s the mayor’s daughter?
If the sly kid from the second house ends up marrying her, it would be really disadvantageous for their branch of the family!
Bai Tingfang hung up the phone, fuming…
Meanwhile, Ou Mucen, after hanging up, didn’t spare another thought for the matter.
He checked the watch on his wrist, saw it was nearly time, grabbed his briefcase, and left the house.
The mayor’s daughter?
If he wanted to, Ou Mucen could have any woman he desired.
Let Ou Yuze have her if he’s interested.
Half an hour later, at the Ou Empire Building—
Secretary Gao had just arrived at the company when she saw the president, briefcase in hand, also appearing at the elevator door, leaving her somewhat astonished.
The president hadn’t been at the company all of yesterday and probably had been busy until late.
Why had he come so early today?
Secretary Gao was inexplicably a bit anxious: “Young Master Mucen, good morning!”
“Notify Yuzhirun Management Department, meeting in ten minutes!”
“…”
Secretary Gao stood there, watching as he walked away without giving her a second glance, and quickly picked up the phone on the desk to make the call.
They had just received the jade samples from the Huo Family yesterday, so it was natural they would hold a meeting about the jewelry section today. noveldrama
But just as she picked up the phone, the man who had reached his office and pushed the door open, turned back around looking quite displeased: “Where’s An Ning?”
