C51 I Want to Call Him
The next day, Luo Xue woke up and found herself in the room. She thought Mrs Wang was the one who helped her up from the sofa. She did not think much and walked downstairs. She did not see Mu Shucheng.
"Miss Luo is awake. I made some red dates lotus seed soup for you. Drink it while it's hot."
"Yes, thank you." After sleeping for so long and not eating properly for a few days, she really felt hungry.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge and eating another egg, she immediately felt much better. She looked at Mrs Wang with a haggard face.
"Mrs Wang, when will Mr. Mu come back?"
"I don't know. If you have anything, you can call him."
Luo Xue thought for a while. She did not seem to have saved Mu Shucheng's number.
"Has he been very busy recently?"
"He just returned to China. The matters at the company have not been settled yet. How could he not be busy? He also had a lot of hard work. Don't look at him as if nothing had happened every day. Actually, he's very busy. There are so many people waiting for him to eat. The pressure is very great. "
"Is he in a hurry to get married?"
As Luo Xue spoke, she picked up a mouthful of vegetables and put it into her mouth.
Mrs Wang hesitated for a moment but still whispered.
"If you can agree to his marriage, you will be able to help a lot!"
Mrs Wang said it bluntly but Luo Xue's heart still skipped a beat. She had eaten this breakfast for nearly an hour.
After finishing the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, she picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth and softly said.
"I want to call him."
...
In the meeting room of the Mu building, there was complete silence. Mu Shucheng's phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence.
He walked out of the meeting room and the meeting room immediately exploded.
"Old lady Mu, it's not that we don't trust young master Mu, but he's still young after all. He just came back from overseas and the company was handed over to him. We don't feel at ease."
"Yes, what we're trying to say is that we want to give Young Master Mu a manager position first. Then, after he becomes familiar with the company for a few years, it won't be too late to give him the position of CEO."
"Yeah. Besides, isn't Jingming still here? My son has become the leader, and I'm the assistant. If this gets out, it won't be nice either. "
"Although Shucheng is young, has he not done much for our Imperial Capital in the past few years abroad? SK real estate projects, RG commercial projects, including the collaboration between Imperial and the strongest company in the world, Yu Feng. It's all thanks to Shucheng! "
"That's right. On the other hand, we, Director Mu, are in charge of the project. Which one of them can do it? It's nothing more than hunger and not being able to hold on. Ever since Old Man Mu left, although Imperial wasn't weak in fame, each year was worse than the last. There are so many new talent shows. If we don't hand them over, something will happen to Imperial sooner or later!"
"That makes sense. Business isn't about age. It mainly relies on one's brain. If one's brain doesn't work, no matter how old one is, it's useless."
When Mu Jingming heard that, he immediately became angry. "Who do you think has a brain that doesn't work?"
"Whoever speaks will speak!"
"If you have the ability, say it again. Try saying it again!"
The office was in a mess. Shi Lan slammed the table hard.
"All of you, quiet down!"
The two groups of people glared at each other before obediently sitting down.
"All of you are the old directors of Mu family. You and my husband fought the entire Imperial Capital together. I know that all of you value this, but what is the point of arguing now? Especially Jingming. Is this how he talks to his elders? Look at the person sitting opposite you, who isn't older than you!"
" Mom! "
"[Shut up. Call me Director Mu!]"
Shi Lan slammed the table hard. Although she was already seventy years old, her thin and weak body was stuck between the group of men. Her momentum was not weak at all.
Mu Jingming pursed his lips in anger and did not speak anymore. Gao Xian, who was beside him, pulled Mu Jingming's arm to signal him to calm down. Then he looked at Shi Lan's smiling face and said respectfully.
"Sister-in-law, you should calm down first. No matter how we old directors quarrel, it is all for the development of the Imperial Capital. There is no outside heart, and life is still alive. Which one of us doesn't want to earn big money? We all know about Shucheng's ability, but you are also an experienced person. If this man doesn't become a family, he won't be able to control his emotions. Even if he wants to hand over the company to Shucheng, we'll have to wait for him to get married, right? "
This sentence seemed to have reminded her of something. The meeting room exploded once again. Shi Lan frowned and was speechless. She looked at the two groups of people who were arguing and did not stop them.
"Creak."
The office door was suddenly opened. Mu Shucheng walked towards Shi Lan with an expressionless face. He lowered his head and said a few words, which made the old lady in her 70s laugh.
"You brat, why didn't you say so earlier? Go back to your seat first. Grandma will announce it!"
"This is the will that my husband made before he left. As long as Shucheng gets married, he will be given 50% of the shares. Lawyer Zhang, please verify the authenticity in front of everyone."
Once the news was out, the office exploded once again.
...
At night, in Scenery Villa.
"My mom left in a strange way. You know something, right?"
Luo Xue stood in front of Mu Shucheng's desk and spoke urgently.
Mu Shucheng did not speak. He stood up and took out two bottles of pure water from the fridge. He handed one to Luo Xue and left the other to himself.
"Calm down first! Calm down!"
Luo Xue frowned and took it. She thanked him and took a sip. She continued to ask.
"Did someone do it on purpose?"
Seeing her anxious look, Mu Shucheng frowned slightly.
Xu Hui had a heart attack, but that day she suddenly found something that seemed to be cancer cells in her body. Faang Yuze felt that it was very strange, so he told Mu Shucheng that they had gone to adjust the surveillance. Sure enough, someone had sneaked into Xu Hui's ward secretly.
And looking around, he actually found out about that person strangely!
Mu Shucheng knew the grudges between Luo Xue and this person. His foundation was not bad. There must be someone behind his back who instructed him to do so. Mu Shucheng had not figured out the sequence of events during this period of time, so he could not explain it to Luo Xue.
Even if he did, he did not know how to tell Luo Xue. Mu Shucheng did not know if Luo Xue could take the blow from both of them.
"Grandma called to ask you to go to Lan Ling Garden again when you have time."
Mu Shucheng suddenly said.
Luo Xue frowned. Mu Shucheng was deliberately avoiding her. If she did not deny it, then it must be true!
Xu Hui had been kind all her life and had never had any conflicts with anyone. Even when she was chased out of the Luo family, she did not hold a grudge against him. How could such a gentle person have an enemy?
The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. Her eyes were filled with hatred. Who was so cruel to kill a person who was about to die?
Looking at Luo Xue's tightly knitted brows and increasingly pale face, Mu Shucheng said calmly.
"If your mother was really killed, do you want to kill that person to pay with your life? Or do you want him to suffer the punishment of death?"
