My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 156: What’s bothering you?
Chapter 156: Chapter 156: What’s bothering you?
In such a scenario, it would be hard not to misunderstand. Mo Anna was quite seasoned, and her mind immediately jumped to some rather unsavory possibilities, causing her complexion to pale.
When Xiao Zheng saw Mo Anna’s expression, he knew she had misunderstood and smiled wryly, "Sister Mo, don’t get the wrong idea..." He was about to continue, but Mo Anna cut him off.
"You...there’s no need to explain, I understand. I won’t disturb you further." Mo Anna gave a strained smile, said this, and then walked out as if she had lost her soul.
Xiao Zheng had wanted to clarify, but seeing Mo Anna leaving, he had no choice but to stop speaking. After all, it was just a small matter and he couldn’t really chase after her to explain, right?
However, at this moment, Mu Yiqing was confused and asked Xiao Zheng, "Brother Xiao, what’s wrong with Sister Mo? Why did she say she was disturbing us? That’s not true at all."
Xiao Zheng glanced at the tissue Mu Yiqing was holding in her hand and at the girl’s puzzled face. He coughed dryly and couldn’t help but blush. How could he possibly discuss such a thing with this young lady?
Changing the subject, Xiao Zheng’s expression became serious as he asked Mu Yiqing, "Xiao Mu, are you troubled by something?"
"Ah... no, not at all."
Mu Yiqing hesitated for a moment after being questioned by Xiao Zheng, then replied.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Xiao Mu, I’m your Brother Xiao. If there’s anything bothering you, why couldn’t you tell me? Heh, you can’t fool me. Normally, you aren’t so distracted."
Mu Yiqing had always been close to Xiao Zheng, and hearing him say this, she bit her lip and finally looked down, saying, "Today, I have to sign a contract with a minister from another company, but... but..."
She stopped there and didn’t continue.
Xiao Zheng, upon hearing this, understood what had happened.
The contract was undoubtedly part of Mu Yiqing’s work duties, but the minister from the other company clearly wasn’t a good person and might have some designs on Mu Yiqing.
Then he could use the contract to threaten her, stating that if she wanted to successfully sign it, she would have to agree to certain conditions.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Zheng’s eyes narrowed into a line, and he said with a smile, "Alright, I’ll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yiqing quickly lifted her head, her eyes gleaming with surprise, "Really?"
Xiao Zheng stood up, stroked Mu Yiqing’s hair, and smiled, "Of course it’s true, but you’ll have to wait for me while I change my pants first."
Mu Yiqing felt a bit embarrassed, her cheeks turned pink, and she said softly, "Brother Xiao, you’re so bad."
Xiao Zheng laughed heartily.
...
In the afternoon, the two of them came to a very upscale hotel. Led by Mu Yiqing, they entered a very luxurious private room.
Inside the room, there were already many people gathered, creating a lively atmosphere.
According to Mu Yiqing’s introduction, most of these individuals were sales representatives from other companies, who, just like Mu Yiqing, were very eager to get an order from the minister of Jinhua Company.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Zheng saw a group of people crowding around a certain junior minister, fawning over him in various ways, with some female sales staff almost pressing themselves against him.
When Mu Yuqing and Xiao Zheng walked into the private room, everyone went silent for a moment before turning their attention to Mu Yiqing, who was recognized by all those present.
The main reason was that Mu Yiqing was a salesperson for Qianqiu Group, and the products of Qianqiu Group had some advantages over those of the companies these people worked for.
Upon seeing Mu Yiqing enter, the minister’s face broke into a smile, and a hint of lecherous light flashed in the depths of his eyes. However, he quickly noticed Xiao Zheng.
He then saw how close Mu Yiqing was to Xiao Zheng and felt instantly displeased, silently thinking, "Who is this guy? Could he possibly be Mu Yiqing’s boyfriend?
Hmph, he really overestimates himself, daring to get so close to the woman I have my eye on!"
This minister, ever since he first laid eyes on Mu Yiqing, had been struck by her and wanted to make her his. The signing of the contract was a perfect opportunity, and he planned to use it to entice Mu Yiqing into submission. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Mu Yiqing naturally sensed this and hence appeared so distracted when she went to sign the documents with Xiao Zheng today because she was worried she wouldn’t be able to complete the task.
The junior minister’s thoughts raced, and then he put on a very enthusiastic smile, stood up, and made a beeline for Mu Yiqing, laughing heartily, "It’s Xiao Mu, you’ve finally arrived; we’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Come, come, sit next to me."
As he spoke, he reached out to put his hand on Mu Yiqing’s back, then intended to half-hug her to the seat beside him, completely ignoring Xiao Zheng.
But Mu Yiqing frowned slightly, took a step back, and said in a low but firm voice, "Thank you, Minister Liu, but I am just a junior staff member. How could I sit next to you? I will sit with Brother Xiao."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Minister Liu’s face turned cold, showing a hint of displeasure as he said, "Xiao Mu, that’s not right of you. How can you refuse my kindness like this?"
"Heh, she can sit wherever she wants to, does she need your permission?" Xiao Zheng said with a sneer, stepping forward to stand in front of Mu Yiqing.
"You..."
Seeing this, Minister Liu’s face couldn’t help but flash with anger, but after all, this was a gathering with drinks, and it wouldn’t look good to have a dispute, so he could only snort coldly.
"Fine, if you two wish to sit in those corners, then I won’t stop you." With that, Minister Liu turned back and sat down in his original seat.
Xiao Zheng, with a smile, led Mu Yiqing to two empty seats at the table and sat down.
The others watching this scene had various thoughts flashing in their eyes, secretly thinking, "This time, because of its superior quality, Qianqiu Group’s products are almost certain to be signed on, but besides that main order, there are other products that our company has a chance to obtain.
"Heh, looking at how things are, Minister Liu is quite unhappy with that Xiao something. If we can make Xiao Zheng embarrassed later and cheer up Minister Liu, maybe we can get the contract!"
These salespeople at the table were all shrewd operators, so they knew what to do and started planning how to embarrass Xiao Zheng later.
Xiao Zheng didn’t pay much attention to this and began to eat, finding the fare on the table to be quite lavish, so he started enjoying it.
As for the specifics of the contract, naturally, he would leave that to Mu Yiqing, the professional. He had come here merely to protect and escort Mu Yiqing.
