Not far away, Mu Beiyao was glaring at the man in front of her, puffing out her cheeks in indignation.
"Mr. Lu, are you a hunting dog? When did our little temple ever invite a great Buddha like you?"
"Why do you have to come here and point fingers at me? If you want to prepare some jewelry or gifts for your woman, you can easily ask your sister for it! You’re paying Lu Xiangyi a fair price, so that counts as taking care of our business!"
"And here you are, standing in front of me, nitpicking about the lighting, stage design, exhibits, and services; finding faults as if you know everything!"
"It's like telling a mother who has painstakingly raised her child that she has failed miserably in educating him."
"You're slapping me in the face! Mu Beiyao is used to being the big sister; when she’s out there fighting, hardly anyone dares to say a word against her."
"Let’s not even mention that Mu Beiyao won’t stir up any major trouble; even if she did, there’s no need for the Mu Family to step in. Her brother, Mu Beiming, is more than enough to handle everyone around!"
In this city, Shen Jingyu was the first exception. Mu Beiyao respected him and acknowledged him as a relative with little blood relation; more importantly, she recognized him as a friend of her man.
But today, another exception appeared in Mu Beiyao's life: Lu Xiangzhuang.
Lu Xiangzhuang had been raised as an heir in a prominent family, and his demeanor resembled that of nobility. He could appear gentle on the surface while calculating ruthlessly beneath. This time, under the guise of helping his sister manage her affairs, he was merely playing along with her whims.
"Mu Zong," he said smoothly, "I’m here on behalf of my sister to lend a hand; this only represents my and Xiangyi's sincere attitude towards your company. If there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, please treat me just as you would treat Lu Xiangyi!"
Mu Beiyao scoffed, "Is it now fashionable for CEOs to be thick-skinned?"
Lu Xiangzhuang silently observed the woman across from him as she fumed. She seemed to favor black; the last time he had spilled red wine on her, she handled it with grace and didn’t make a fuss at all.
But today, in her own territory, it was clear that she was a woman with a strong desire for control.
Mu Beiyao was capable. Lu Xiangzhuang had thought about finding someone gentle and home-loving, soft and cute. But unexpectedly, as life rushed by and he looked around, the only one who caught his eye was someone whose aura matched his own.
Mu Beiyao wanted to curse him: "Do you have no shame?"
"Mr. Lu," she continued sarcastically, "do you think you can be as quirky and charming as our Xiangyi?"
Lu Xiangzhuang swallowed hard: "Siblings do share some similarities."
Mu Beiyao quickly responded, "Oh, is it the power to annoy people that Lu Zong mentioned?"
Lu Xiangzhuang looked at the flamboyant and domineering woman, unable to suppress a chuckle.
Mu Beiyao observed his pretentious demeanor, feeling as if she had stomped her high heels on the ground several times in frustration.
Meanwhile, Su Xing and Lu Xiangyi were increasingly entertained by the scene, almost wanting to lean in closer to listen. Su Xing inadvertently discovered that Lu Xiangyi could actually do quite a good job at reading lips.
After laughing enough at her friend's exasperation, Su Xing finally asked, "When did you learn to read lips?"
Lu Xiangyi replied somewhat helplessly, "Well, back when I was less knowledgeable, I saw someone do it and couldn't stand it, so I learned."
Little did she expect that one day it would come in handy to translate the romantic escapades of her brother and sisters!
Lu Xiangyi actually felt it was quite resourceful.
"Are you two sure you're not the main organizers of this event?" Qin Bing remarked. Her talent lay in orchestrating the overall situation and precisely timing plans.
Watching the two women who were just a step away from grabbing some seeds to munch on, she couldn't help but remind them, "Aren't you busy with something else?"
Su Xing replied, "I forgot about Zheng Er!"
Lu Xiangyi added, "Zheng Er doesn't want to work; she just wants to snack!"
Qin Bing bluntly stated, "Your company hasn't gone bankrupt; you're definitely being rewarded by heaven!"
Su Xing retorted defiantly, "We earn our own living! Just like you! Don't put labels on us!"
Qin Bing silently chuckled and shook her head; perhaps she was a bit clearer-headed than the three women.
If they didn't have family backgrounds or supportive men behind them, how could they rise to create a hundred billion brand in less than five years? Qin Bing certainly didn't agree with that!
As the three women chatted excitedly, two assistants along with Mu Beiyao stormed over with an imposing presence!
Shen Jingyu and Rong Xigu walked side by side; they weren't alone as Lu Xiangzhuang responded from afar.
"Finally, you two have arrived!" Randy and Zheng Ying exclaimed, almost pulling their hair out in frustration. Their leaders seemed like two decorative vases.
"Did you both remember to come find me? Are you looking for a good beating?" Mu Beiyao's temper flared.
Coughing lightly, Su Xing redirected the conversation. "Why are there so many people tonight? Is the number exceeding expectations? Will it affect the subsequent processes?"
Mu Beiyao shot them both a glaring look. "You all stay here and host! Su Xing, go greet our guests in the VIP lounge; those ladies are resting while playing cards!"
"You're here too! Especially you, Lu Xiangyi! No, I mean Lu Xiangyi! If you let your brother take your place again, I swear I'll kick you out!"
Mu Beiyao was full of energy, and just one name mispronounced almost made Lu Xiangyi and Su Xing burst into laughter. Lu Xiangyi kept his head down, blinking furiously, while Su Xing turned away, as if his shoulders were shaking with suppressed laughter.
This entire evening had yet to get to the main topic, and Mu Beiyao was already on the verge of losing her mind. Just then, Mu Beiming arrived late, and Mu Beiyao found a free outlet for her frustration.
"Mu Beiming! Your sister is in charge here; why are you only just showing up? Don’t you know to come early and help out?"
Mu Beiming instinctively glanced around at the two ancestors and their two scheming friends. There was nothing left to guess about. Once again, Mu Beiyao felt indirectly controlled by her friends!
It seemed that this situation would only get worse in the future.
"I'll get you a professional manager; how about that?" Mu Beiming said in a calm and submissive tone.
Mu Beiyao, with an air of superiority, retorted, "Do you dare to brush me off? This company is my hard work; why should I let a professional manager run it?"
"I’ve already let you control my six secret techniques for a whole day; isn’t that enough for you? You should be content, dear sister! If those two get involved as well, you'll be sidelined in no time! You might as well go home and be a maid!"
"Or how about this: Lu Zong is still single. I could swallow my pride and ask him to consider you?"
"Get lost! Get out of here! In this place, it's either me or you; do you understand?!"
Mu Beiyao exploded with anger. With so many people watching, she not only shouted but also kicked out!
Fortunately, Mu Beiming was quick on his feet and dodged just in time, smoothly transitioning into a conversation with Shen Jingyu and the others.
