MTL - Not Spare the Years-Chapter 16

Anyang City, Shen family.

Mu Ruqing put down the gift she had carefully prepared in her hand, and greeted the old man in front of her with a smile: "Principal Shen, look, it's been a month since you took office as the principal of Anyang University of Finance and Economics, and I only have time to visit today. Excuse me."

Shen Lei waved his hand with a smile, asked Mu Ruqing to sit down beside the wooden coffee table, and poured her a cup of freshly brewed Dahongpao.

"You're welcome, I still like when you called me old man Shen at school."

Mu Ruqing smiled and said, "Time flies so fast. You were my mentor back then, but now you are the principal. However, you are the principal, who is teaching the finance major of the business school now?"

Shen Lei stroked his beard and said proudly, "It's my daughter. Her name is Shen Huaixing. Recently, several papers published in journals are very good. You can read them when you have time."

Mu Ruqing was stunned for a moment, then intriguingly curled the corners of her lips: "Is Shen Huaixing your daughter?"

She vaguely remembered that her sister had been entangled with a professor named Shen Huaixing, but she didn't know that Shen Huaixing was Shen Lei's daughter.

Shen Lei took a sip of tea, and his face was not shocked: "Why, didn't you hear your sister mention her?"

Mu Ruqing became interested: "You actually know about them?"

Shen Lei shrugged: "More than knowing, when they were still talking, I called Huaixing to the hospital-level leadership office every day to write a check." He clicked his tongue twice, "At that time your sister was still young, I just I don't think Huaixing should delay a child. However, now Xueyi has grown up, right?"

Mu Ruqing nodded: "Yes, she is twenty-eight years old."

Shen Lei smiled: "Huai Xing seems to be thinking about reviving old love recently. I think she always looks at their previous albums in her room by herself. Actually, that child in Xueyi is good and sensible. She even gave it to me before. The tea leaves dried by themselves. If they can really get back together, it would be good. Huaixing has always refused to get married. I guess I just can't put snow clothes in my heart. "

Mu Ruqing raised her eyebrows: "That's it."

Shen Lei asked again: "Hey, what exactly are you looking for me? If you have something to say, don't be polite."

Mu Ruqing smiled slightly: "Just...I want to talk to you about the school-enterprise alliance."

Shen Lei: "It turned out to be this purpose." He smiled and shook his head, "This year, the Zhou family also has the intention of in-depth cooperation. I am still observing, so don't worry."

While speaking, the sound of the key turning came from the security door. After a while, Shen Huaixing walked in.

Shen Lei stood up and introduced: "Huixing, this is Mr. Mu, Mu Ruqing." He hesitated for a while, but added: "Sister Xueyi."

Shen Huaixing stared at Mu Ruqing for two seconds.

Then, she took off her gloves and held Mu Ruqing's hand, "Hello."

Mu Ruqing showed a very friendly smile: "Professor Shen, I'm sorry. Let's have dinner together another day? I'll call Xueyi too."

Shen Huaixing was silent for a moment, and said, "The last time I saw her, it seemed that I had a bit of trouble with my family."

Mu Ruqing: "No matter what kind of awkwardness she makes, she is still a member of the Mu family. Professor Shen should also know her, and has always been very obedient. I asked her to accompany you for a meal."

Shen Huaixing smiled lightly: "I understand your kindness. But she is with Zhou Zhenyue now, don't force her."

Mu Ruqing tilted her head: "Zhou Zhenyue?"

Her smile deepened, and she said inexplicably, "You don't have to worry about this, just leave it to me."

Shen Huaixing frowned: "What do you mean?"

Mu Ruqing didn't answer, just said a few more polite words, and then politely said goodbye to Shen Lei. Before leaving, he asked for Shen Huaixing's mobile phone number.

When she came out of Mu's house, Zhong Wan was leaning against the car door and looking at her phone, holding two cups of coffee in her spare hands.

Mu Ruqing hugged Zhong Wan's shoulder naturally, and said, "Why don't you wait in the car? It's so cold outside."

Zhong Wan flicked her shoulders, avoided Mu Ruqing's touch, lowered her head and handed her the coffee, "...Your coffee."

Mu Ruqing took it and touched it: "It's already cold. Throw it away, I'll buy you a new one."

But Zhong Wan didn't listen to her, she opened the coffee lid without saying a word and started drinking.

After all, it was something money bought, and she was reluctant to waste it.

Mu Ruqing hugged Zhong Wan and got into the car. After Zhong Wan sat down, she thoughtfully helped her fasten her seat belt.

"This month's money has already been deposited into your parents' bankbook. They are doing well in the mountains, so you don't have to worry." Mu Ruqing's tone was very gentle, as if she had given all the tenderness in her life to this man beside her. Woman, "I also donated some money to the village committee to let them renovate the elementary school you attended. When the work at hand is over recently, I will accompany you back to the mountains to see."

Zhong Wan squeezed the coffee cup tightly and said in a cold tone: "As long as the neighbors see you with me, they will guess the relationship between me and you. My parents will also know that I have nothing to do with the women in the village who go out to sell. two."

Mu Ruqing didn't speak for a while.

After a long time, she said, "Okay, I won't go."

The car drove on the loop line and joined the endless stream of cars.

Zhong Wan looked at the bustling city outside the car window, and suddenly felt that the city was no different from when she first came here 20 years ago.

Maybe... if she didn't come here twenty years ago, everything would have been different.

When she was a child, she was just the most ordinary child in the countryside. In her spare time, she helped her parents with farming, and during class, she sat in a leaky mud classroom and listened to lectures. When she was in the second grade of elementary school, a family from the city suddenly found her and offered to help her go to school in the city. The only requirement was to live with the family, study and grow up with their daughter.

At that time, the whole village felt that she was the luckiest child who could be given such precious hope by the rich.

But she realized after a long time that she was just a gift from Mu Guocheng to Mu Ruqing.

At that time, Mu Guocheng had just brought his illegitimate daughter Mu Xueyi home, and Mu Ruqing was very angry. In order to compensate her, Mu Guocheng picked up a beautiful girl from the countryside and came back to play with her.

On the first day she arrived at Mu's house, Mu Ruqing dominated her by his side. Mu Ruqing asked her to accompany her when she was eating, she asked her to accompany her when she was sleeping, and when she went to the toilet, Mu Ruqing did not allow more than ten minutes.

In fact, from childhood to adulthood, Mu Ruqing treated her not badly. When she was a child, she protected her everywhere in the school, and prevented the little boys in the city from bullying her. When she grew up, she took her by her side as an assistant, doing the least work with the highest salary.

It's just that she treats her like pampering a puppy. There is no respect, no equality, only possession and willful giving.

She didn't know whether Mu Ruqing's feelings for her were considered love, she only knew that she did not love Mu Ruqing.

Of course she didn't like Xueyi either, although Mu Ruqing always felt that way.

Xueyi has something very similar to her, the kind of helplessness that climbs from the bottom to the top, the obedience under the fence, it is too similar. Therefore, in the Mu family full of superior people, she was destined to be friends with Xueyi only.

But obviously, her choice to be friends with Xueyi will only make Mu Ruqing hate this sister even more.

She has rarely spoken to Xueyi over the years, but Mu Ruqing is still very keen on suppressing Xueyi, and every time she is done, she will show off in front of her slowly. While showing off, she eagerly searched for various reactions in her eyes.

Mu Ruqing seemed to want to prove that in her Zhong Wan's heart, she was more important than Mu Xueyi.

"I'll take you to eat French food when I go back to the company for a meeting." Mu Ruqing softened her tone, "What do you want to eat? I'll ask the chef to prepare it in advance."

Zhong Wan stared out the car window: "You didn't eat at Principal Shen's house just now?"

Mu Ruqing: "I wanted to have some refreshments, but I met Shen Huaixing and came back..." She changed her tone, "You know Shen Huaixing, right? The professor Xue Yi liked."

Zhong Wan was silent for a while, then said softly, "I know."

She was the same age as Mu Xueyi and went to the same university. When Mu Xueyi was chasing Shen Huaixing, she contributed a lot in the middle.

Mu Ruqing asked again, "Wanwan, do you think Xueyi is better with Zhou Zhenyue, or with Shen Huaixing?"

Zhong Wan frowned: "...Why are you asking me? Xueyi will be with whomever she likes."

Mu Ruqing chuckled lightly: "Like her, you think about this matter too simply. As the daughter of the Mu family, marriage must be able to contribute to Mu's enterprise. She The connection with the Mu family is not something she can break if she wants to."

Zhong Wan squinted at Mu Ruqing and suddenly asked:

"You are also the daughter of the Mu family, how about you?"

Mu Ruqing replied calmly: "Of course I am the same. When the time is right, I will marry the entrepreneur who is most suitable for joint development with M Moser. When you sit in my position, you will understand that there is nothing you can't become means in the business field.”

Zhong Wan opened her mouth and hesitated. In the end, she didn't ask the question that was tossing in her heart.

-what about me?

She was amused again.

She knew very well that she didn't love Mu Ruqing, but when she heard that Mu Ruqing would not give her any credit, she had the illusion that her expectations had failed.

Mu Ruqing glanced at the time on her phone and changed the subject abruptly: "Call Mu Xueyi."

Zhong Wan didn't react for a while: "What?"

Mu Ruqing repeated: "Use your mobile phone to call my sister."

Zhong Wan was a little wary: "What do you want to do?"

Since Mu Xueyi left, Mu Ruqing has not contacted her.

Mu Ruqing shrugged: "She blocked me, and I can't get through. Let me borrow your number and I'll have a word with her."

Zhong Wan hesitated for a while, but was unable to resist, so she had to call Mu Xueyi with her mobile phone. The beeping sound in the handset of the mobile phone rang for a long time, and finally, when it was about to hang up automatically, the call was connected.

Mu Ruqing didn't wait for the people over there to speak, and said first: "I don't know it's inconvenient for you over there, I'll make a long story short, within three days, get the latest price list drawn up by Zhou Zhenyue. This time the partner It's very important, Mu Shi has to win over, you should be able to understand, right? Don't stay at Zhou's house for too long, forget what you want to do yourself."

She then hummed: "You know my email address, I'll wait for your email."

When the words fell, Mu Ruqing stretched out her hand and pressed the hang up, without giving the other party a chance to answer the call.

Zhong Wan clenched her fists and was about to say something when she noticed something more important.

She suddenly looked up at Mu Ruqing: "Is it eight o'clock in the evening?"

Mu Ruqing raised the corners of her lips: "I know."

Zhong Wan blurted out: "You know that Xueyi takes a shower every day at eight o'clock, so—"

Mu Ruqing said lightly: "That's right. The person who just answered the phone was Zhou Zhenyue."
