The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 970 - 369: If I Starve, It’s Your Responsibility, Got It?

At twelve noon, Mu Shinian promptly walked out of the office, locked the door, and left.

This company is considered one of the more well-known companies in Paris, and it’s also quite an old one. Mu Shinian works at the company’s headquarters. There are branches in other cities in France, and even one in An City.

There were quite a few people waiting for the elevator when he got off work. Mu Shinian raised his wrist to check his watch, calculating the time it would take to get home from the company, factoring in meal time, and then figuring out if he could make it back to the company before work.

After calculating, the timing was just right. With this in mind, he turned on his heel and headed straight to the restroom on this floor.

When he came out, most of the company’s employees had left. Mu Shinian glanced at the floor number where the elevator was paused, pressed the elevator button, and then took out his phone to check today’s emails and messages.

He actually quite likes the city of Paris, but it’s only a partial fondness. Instead, he loves the place where he grew up the most—An City.

Especially after seeing Lu Yulin at today’s meeting, the image of An City became even clearer in his mind, along with the scenes of going to and from classes with Lu Yulin and playing basketball.

Five years of life in Paris has made his personality more stable and has added a certain coldness he didn’t have before. The busy work schedule has taken away his previous naivety, making him more mature.

In fact, having grown up without parents, he has long been hardened with a very firm and decisive will. Especially the time when his grandfather was hospitalized, it made him realize that he could not be like his peers.

Just after checking an email, the elevator promptly opened in front of him. Mu Shinian put away his phone, and as he looked up, he suddenly froze in place, feeling as if his feet were glued to the spot.

In the elevator, Lu Yulin stood there in a suit, his face devoid of extra expressions, cold to a point. There were a few employees from CK Group who attended today’s meeting, and one of them was the general manager of Mu Shinian’s company.

When the elevator door opened, he just glanced at Mu Shinian faintly and then quickly looked away, as if he didn’t recognize Mu Shinian, treating him like a stranger, and continued talking with the people beside him about work matters.

The general manager lifted his head and immediately saw Mu Shinian, his face breaking into a smile as he reminded, "Shinian, aren’t you coming in?"

Mu Shinian snapped out of it instantly and smiled without saying anything, walking straight into the elevator.

The elevator was already quite crowded. Mu Shinian chose a spot in the front corner and pressed the button for the negative first floor.

The general manager and Lu Yulin were discussing future cooperation, mostly exchanging polite small talk. Mu Shinian was somewhat lacking in social exchanges like this. If he had to engage in such polite conversation, he really couldn’t manage it, so he remained silent.

However, wanting some peace and quiet seemed impossible. The general manager suddenly shifted the topic to Mu Shinian, "Shinian, I heard you’re from An City in China too? Young President Lu is also from An City, so you two are from the same place."

Lu Yulin’s gaze landed once again on Mu Shinian’s profile, with a semblance of a smile on his face, carrying a hint of coldness as he said, "Indeed a coincidence, and to be honest, your Team Leader Mu and I were classmates back in the day."

Hearing this, Mu Shinian couldn’t help but tense up, unclear about what Lu Yulin intended by saying this.

Indeed during these five years in Paris, he had thought about contacting Lu Yulin, after all, Lu was the only close friend he had known since childhood. But remembering his sister’s situation at the time, he suppressed that thought.

The general manager looked incredibly surprised and said, "You two really have fateful ties, then. Since Young President Lu has just arrived in Paris, Shinian won’t need to come to the company this afternoon; you can show Young President Lu around."

Mu Shinian’s face darkened immediately, intending to refuse, "General Manager, I..."

However, before he could finish, Lu Yulin had already shot him a glare, leaving him at a loss for words.

Lu Yulin turned towards the general manager with a gentle smile, nodding, "That’s a good idea. Just as well, I’m quite unfamiliar with this life in Paris, and Team Leader Mu must have quite a bit of experience here by now."

The general manager exchanged a few more courteous remarks, and just then the elevator arrived at the company’s negative first floor. The general manager didn’t say anything further since as soon as the elevator door opened, he saw his wife waiting not far away, greeted them, and left directly.

Mu Shinian didn’t understand what Lu Yulin was up to. In any case, they weren’t those close friends from back then. Before exiting the elevator, he responsibly said, "Young President Lu, just give me a call when you want to go out. I believe your project management has our contact information."

However, Lu Yulin said, "We haven’t eaten yet. Why not have Team Leader Mu take us out for a meal?"

Mu Shinian’s expression remained unchanged as he directly responded, "Sorry, I already have lunch plans. There’s a nice western restaurant not far outside the company; you could give it a try."

After saying that, regardless of what more Lu Yulin wanted to say, he walked straight out of the elevator.

Watching Mu Shinian’s retreating back, Lu Yulin’s face immediately darkened, and without looking back, he told his employees behind him, "Go handle your lunch on your own. The company will reimburse you."

After that, he followed in the direction of Mu Shinian’s departing figure.

The employees exchanged glances, watching their Young President Lu walk away without reacting for a long time.

Just as Mu Shinian got into his car and inserted the key, the passenger side door was opened, and a figure climbed in.

Turning his head suddenly, he immediately saw Lu Yulin already settled in the passenger seat, fastening his seatbelt. His face darkened as he fought down his anger and asked, "Lu Yulin, what are you doing?"

Lu Yulin fastened his seatbelt, unaffected, and turned to look at him, saying leisurely, "I’m starving. Hurry up and drive. If I starve to death, you’re responsible."
