"How about you?" She raised her head, suddenly realizing she had asked an inappropriate question, and lowered her head, obediently closing her mouth.
What right did she have to interfere in his personal life? Where he went was not something she could question.
Seeing her lift her head only to shrink back again, Mu Tongzi smiled helplessly, a hint of indulgence flashing in his eyes as he reached out to touch her hair. "There's a welcome dinner for Yue Qingchen today. I'm just here to make an appearance and will head back for a meeting later."
"A meeting this late?"
"Just a video conference. Call me when you get home!" With that, he took her out of the emergency staircase. Watching her enter the private room, he turned to walk back.
At the entrance of the private room, Mu Tongzi stood silently for a moment before pushing the door open. The smell of alcohol and the noisy atmosphere hit him, causing him to frown involuntarily, but he quickly put on a light, formulaic smile.
"Tong, you finally came back! Why did it take you so long to answer a call?" Seeing him enter, Yue Qingchen hurried over and linked her arm with his, treating him as if he were her possession, proudly smiling at their friends in the room.
For so many years, she had lived a life surrounded by admiration, all thanks to this outstanding and noble man by her side.
The crowd urged him to drink a toast in celebration. He suppressed his impatience, took the glass handed to him, looked at his eager friends, and smiled slightly. "I can have a drink, but I have another meeting later, so I won't be able to join you all for fun. Let this drink serve as an apology!"
Saying this, he tilted his head back and downed the drink with ease. After placing the glass on the table, he turned to the disappointed Yue Qingchen. "Let them keep you company and have fun; I'll send the driver to pick you up later!"
"Why didn't you mention earlier that you had a meeting..." Yue Qingchen's face fell, her beautiful features subtly revealing displeasure.
"It was an emergency meeting decided at the last minute; otherwise, would I have taken so long on a call?" He smiled lightly, his dark eyes calm. "Enjoy yourselves; I'm leaving now!"
"I'll see you out..."
"No need, you're the main character tonight." He calmly pulled his hand away and turned to Nie Fengling, instructing in a low voice, "Take good care of her."
"Okay, I understand..." Nie Fengling didn't particularly like the arrogant Yue Qingchen, but she would at least honor a friend's request.
At the entrance of the club, Xia Yu sat in the driver's seat. Spotting a figure coming out of the club, he quickly got out of the car and opened the door. After Mu Tongzi got in and settled, he turned the steering wheel and drove towards One Pinnacle Mansion.
"My subordinate just saw Jiang Shao and Miss Gu."
"I ran into them at the club." In the back seat, Mu Tongzi slowly closed her eyes. "I've reviewed the budget report for the Resort. The prices are too high. Tell them they must come up with a competitive budget and deliver it to me by tomorrow before closing time."
"Understood!"
"What movements are there from the Jiang Family and Xue Family?"
"The Xue Family hasn't had enough time to prepare since Xue Yiyang just returned to the country, so they're probably quite busy lately! As for the Jiang Family, they seem well-prepared. They probably didn't get a clear answer from the mayor before, so they have a backup plan ready."
"Jiang Chengmu really knows how to plan ahead."
"Jiang Shao is indeed capable. He appears carefree on the surface, but he understands everything deep down!"
"Then you should be happy to have such a strong opponent." Opening her eyes, Mu Tongzi chuckled lightly.
"Ha..." Xia Yu chuckled bitterly, recalling what President had instructed earlier. "The photos of Xue Lianhe have already been sent to various newspapers, and the news will be out tomorrow!"
"Mm."
