Chapter 882: Master Xiao, You Can’t Be Like This
“After getting pregnant with your child, I’ve clearly been much more stable.” Mu Qiqi snorted back at Sheng Xiao lightly, expressing her dissatisfaction with him.
“In the future, if your sister calls again in distress in the middle of the night, I won’t care.”
Mu Qiqi knew that it was not good to offend this man, so she tried to gain sympathy. “Master Xiao, you can’t be like this… I can’t go out to see my friends. I’m already very pitiful.”
Seeing how well she had been fed and pampered by Fifth Aunt till she was fair and chubby, how was she pitiful at all?
“If you want to go out, I’m not really restricting you.”
“But I’m restricting myself.” Mu Qiqi was very self-aware. “The Song family’s people are still out there. I don’t want to simply head out and become a target for them.”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything to refute. He hugged and kissed her. Only then did her pouty lips relax.
In the morning, after Sheng Xiao left, Lu Qianqian called Mu Qiqi excitedly. “Xiao Qi, Lin Mu’an’s grandfather has agreed to let us be together. Lin Mu’an said that his grandfather asked him to bring me back for dinner.”
“This old man is finally enlightened.” Mu Qiqi sighed. She thought that he was going to be the most stubborn of these old men.
“What should I do? I’m so nervous…”
“Are you going today?”
“Lin Muan has returned to school. We have to wait for his holiday arrangements…”
Mu Qiqi rolled his eyes and said, “Then you won’t be nervous when he comes back from his holiday.”
After suffering for so long, Lu Qianqian was finally satisfied. Mu Qiqi was naturally happy for her good friend.
“I really don’t regret going to London at all. It was worth it!”
“You don’t regret it at all. You just called me in the middle of the night and was intercepted by Master Xiao.” Mu Qiqi was not happy about this.
“I’m sorry. I won’t call you in the middle of the night anymore.”
Mu Qiqi finally understood why Sheng Xiao didn’t tell her. Even if she received the call, her phone would still end up in Sheng Xiao’s hands.
“You guys have done a great job. If there’s any good news, you have to inform me immediately. I’ll come out to celebrate for you.”
“Of course. You’re my best friend.”
At this moment, Lu Qianqian was completely immersed in happiness. She had no idea… what kind of storm was headed her way.
A while had passed since Lu Qianqian went to London. She hadn’t heard any news about Mama Lin, but she vaguely knew from Lin Mu’an that his aunt seemed to have handled the matter very well.
Thinking that everything was going well, Lu Qianqian gradually put down the heavy weight in her heart.
In addition, the assistant sent by Zhongteng was very compatible with her. The two of them quickly became familiar with each other, especially during meetings. Their ideas couldn’t be more alike.
“The new material has already been put into use in the formula, so today we are going to discuss the issue of packaging. I think that working with foreign manufacturers, in addition to being more cost-effective, can also pave the way for us to open up an international road.”
Lu Qianqian’s trip to London this time had had a lot of stimulation, and of course, it had also broadened her horizons.
The new vice president gave her a thumbs up. The two of them had the same idea again.
“How about this, Vice President Qin. We find a few suitable advertisers, and then we’ll discuss the selection.”
“No need. I already have a suitable choice on my side. It’s just a matter of a discussion of cooperation. It might require you to appear personally, President Lu, or in London.” Vice President Qin winked at her.
“Okay, I’ll go. Strategic cooperation has to be mutual. Of course, I have to express our utmost sincerity.”
After the meeting, Vice President Qin walked with her and said, “President Lu, I’ve made an appointment with the other party to meet in London in two days.”
“Alright, then I’ll go back and make some preparations. You can come with me.”
After that, Lu Qianqian returned to her office.
However, little did she know that it was no longer a safe space. She would never have thought that the potted plant in the office belonging to the Lu Corporation had already had a surveillance camera installed.
She’s going to London again, isn’t she?
Song Bozhi, who was sitting across from the surveillance monitor, stroked his chin with interest.
Spring was really a season that was suitable for dating.
..
Although Song Bozhi seemed to be very free, in this short period of time, he had already displayed his swift and decisive side in the business world. His outstanding control had allowed his educational institution to completely overcome the problem of originally not being able to adapt to the new environment. Very soon, his foundation was firmly established in Jianchuan.
A layman might not be able to tell, but an expert could, at a glance, see that the Song family had made up their mind to move to the south for development. Therefore, the company had already made the corresponding policies and transformation.
Song Bozhi was a person with a very high IQ. Of course, he also thought highly of himself. However, he was also born with a hint of laziness. He was very patient when it came to his goals.
So, with Lu Qianqian, he had a cat-and-mouse mentality. In the end, he was targeting Mu Qiqi.
Of course, the peace in the Song family would arouse Sheng Xiao’s suspicion. There was a possibility that he might shift his focus. He also did not know what was going on with Sheng Kai.
“Song Bozhi seems to know that someone is observing him. That’s why his every move seems to be a way of toying with others. He’s also very vigilant. No one can get close to him.” This was the result of Xu Che’s observation over the past few days. He did not gain much from it.
Sheng Xiao stopped signing documents and put down the expensive pen in his hand. “Song Bozhi is Song Jiang’s trump card. Of course, he’s not an ordinary person. Let’s see who’s more patient. He’ll eventually make a move.”
“How’s the situation at the hotel?”
“The investigation is ongoing now, so Song Jiang has temporarily stopped making any moves.”
Sheng Xiao leaned back in his chair, the corners of his mouth curling into a sneer. “Everyone makes trouble for each other from time to time. This is called tit for tat.”
“Aren’t we going to continue investigating on behalf of the Shen Family?”
Master Xiao was unusually calm. He shook his head. “Although I’m in the military industry, I’m not willing to participate in politics. Xu Che, remember, I’m just a businessman. Protecting my family doesn’t have to be this way. Moreover, the Shen family doesn’t care about such dirty methods.”
Sheng Xiao’s motive for doing this was very simple. He wanted to maintain the innocence of the Shen family and Zhongteng. Even if they were to be investigated one day, he would not fear anyone.
“Got it.”
Looking at the time, it was almost time to go home.
Thinking of the little pig at home, Sheng Xiao took his coat from the hanger and quickened his pace as he headed home because Mu Qiqi had a prenatal check-up that night.
When the doctor announced that the child was officially eight weeks or two months old, Mu Qiqi cheered and suddenly became even more depressed.
Because there were still eight months left.
“Actually, being pregnant isn’t as scary as you think. There’s also no need to have so many taboos. You can do whatever you like,” the doctor said to Mu Qiqi with a smile.
Mu Qiqi suddenly raised her head, her eyes shining. However, a moment later, she lowered her head again.
You can’t count on a science student to paint and play the piano to cultivate your character.
Sheng Xiao knew that this thing’s favorite things were the cold knives in the forensic laboratory.
So, he relaxed. “Tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to the branch office for a visit.”
