"Since you have no objections, I'll be waiting for you at Mu Group on Monday. Remember to be on time!"
After a pause, he leaned closer to her, his handsome face showing a rare gentleness. "It's not good to yield so easily at the negotiation table. By exposing your weaknesses so readily, you're only giving the other party an opportunity. Try your best not to let anyone know your cards; that's how you stand a chance of winning. Director Gu, keep that in mind!"
"Are you trying to impart wisdom to me?" Hadn't he just taken advantage of the situation to flip the script on her? Now he had the nerve to say such things? Fine, she would remember this; perhaps she could use this tactic against him in the future!
But why was this man becoming increasingly difficult to read? What was he really thinking?
"You are still my subordinate, and I have an obligation to teach you by example." He looked straight at her, his dark Eyes silent, making it hard to discern his emotions.
Green Qi shifted to sit on the other side of the Seat, her clear Eyes holding a hint of vigilance as she contemplated all the ways he might be plotting against her.
Watching her evasive figure, Mu Tongzi slightly furrowed his brow and raised his eyes to the woman across from him who was clearly on guard. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips; his calm demeanor seemed to have captured all her thoughts.
"Do you think I'm particularly easy to talk to? Can't figure out why I would generously share valuable experience with you?"
"What exactly is your purpose?" Green Qi lowered her head and tentatively spoke.
A man of his status agreeing to her conditions and even allowing her to work at the company had to have ulterior motives.
"What do you think my purpose is?" He chuckled lightly, raising an eyebrow at her, his deep gaze glimmering with inscrutable intent.
Feeling flustered under his deep gaze, she tightened her nerves and stammered, "I... how would I know?"
This mysterious man was completely beyond her understanding, yet he had her firmly in his grasp, making her anxious.
"If you don't know, take your time to think about it. Remember not to be late on Monday!"
"Oh!" She glanced at the man who had already closed his eyes. Green Qi took a deep breath, opened the car door to leave, and made sure to close it behind her.
Once she got into her own car, IKEA nervously glanced at her and asked, "Gu Da, you weren't treated poorly by Mu Tongzi, were you?"
Her tense emotions gradually eased as Green Qi leaned back in her seat and gently shook her head. "It was nothing. Mu Tongzi has a good reputation; he wouldn't do anything to me."
Although he might have had those intentions, with his noble status and good upbringing, he would never stoop to forcing her.
Xia Yu came down with documents and a group of people. Seeing the figure leaning against the car and glancing at the departing vehicle, he frowned slightly. After sending those people off, he walked over to Mu Tongzi.
"President, Mrs. Jiang..."
Mu Tongzi slightly curled his lips. "She will report to Mu Group on Monday. Inform the executives at GK that they must be present on Monday. Also, from now on, call her Director Gu; constantly referring to her as Mrs. Jiang sounds awkward."
"Understood!" Xia Yu was momentarily taken aback but quickly responded. Although he didn't know what method the President used to get her to agree to come to work, it was clear that it had yielded good results; the process no longer mattered.
As soon as he sat down in the car, Mu Tongzi seemed to remember something. "Have you clarified what happened that night at Yunhu Resort?"
"Yes, Mosin has already checked it, and the results will be sent to the company shortly," Xia Yu said seriously.
"Okay, let's head back to the company!" Mu Tongzi closed her eyes and lazily leaned back in the seat.
"Understood!"
