A cheerful voice came from the phone.
Yun Shu Nian slowly opened her eyes, thinking that this young girl had a serene name but a personality completely contrary to it.
"Since you've all called me sister, how could I not go?"
Yun Shu Nian agreed without much hesitation. She liked this young girl very much.
Wishing her a happy birthday was something she wanted to do.
"Great! Then Sister, tell me your address, and I'll have someone send over the invitation."
"Mhm, I'll send it to you on WeChat later." Yun Shu Nian yawned, her voice exceptionally lazy.
"Sister, it's already noon. Did you just wake up?" the young girl asked in surprise.
Yun Shu Nian thought of last night and coughed awkwardly.
"Mhm. How could that be?" Yun Shu Nian denied. Ning Jing found Yun Shu Nian's tone a bit strange but didn't think much of it.
"Then Sister, goodbye. I'm going to eat." Ning Jing said, preparing to hang up.
"Hey, wait. The invitation can't just be for me alone, it has to be for my husband too. He can send you a gift then."
That person?
Ning Jing thought of Mu Qi's sharp aura and his handsome yet ice-cold face, shivering slightly.
"Okay... okay." Ning Jing replied, said goodbye to Yun Shu Nian again, and hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, after putting her phone aside, Yun Shu Nian began to ponder what gift to give the young girl.
Perhaps she should discuss it with Mu Qi.
Thinking this, Yun Shu Nian dialed Mu Qi's number.
"Hello, husband~" As soon as the call connected, Yun Shu Nian cooed at Mu Qi in her hoarse voice.
"Cough, cough, Madam CEO is currently in a meeting and not holding her phone. I'll deliver it to the CEO immediately."
Assistant Li's hurried voice came from the phone, and Yun Shu Nian's already flushed face turned even redder.
"It's alright, just have Mu Qi call me back after the meeting."
Yun Shu Nian moved the phone away, cleared her throat, and said seriously.
"No, no, no, the CEO will be very happy when he knows you called."
Assistant Li's hurried footsteps could be heard. Yun Shu Nian couldn't refuse any further, so she simply waited for Mu Qi to take the call. Sudan Fiction Network.
*Bang bang—*
Assistant Li, worried that Yun Shu Nian would get impatient, quickly knocked twice on the conference room door.
However, he didn't expect the door to the conference room to not be fully closed. After Assistant Li's two knocks, the door suddenly swung open.
Instantly, Mu Qi and a group of senior executives' gazes fell upon Assistant Li.
Seeing Mu Qi's darkened face, some of them pitied Assistant Li, while others watched with amusement.
"Assistant Li, have you been living too well lately and forgotten the rules?"
Mu Qi's intimidating question reached Assistant Li's ears. Assistant Li froze on the spot, holding Mu Qi's phone.
Just as everyone thought Assistant Li was doomed, suddenly, Yun Shu Nian's voice came from the phone in his hand.
The voice from the phone was not loud.
But in the silent conference room, both Mu Qi and Shan Gong behind him heard it very clearly.
"Mu Qi, he's just here to deliver your phone. Be nicer."
Everyone was startled by the person on the phone directly addressing Mu Qi by name and the questioning tone.
Mu Qi extended his hand towards Assistant Li.
Assistant Li immediately handed the phone to Mu Qi and then retreated to the side, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
"Mu Qi, Assistant Li said you'd be happy if I called. Am I right, Assistant Li?"
Yun Shu Nian indirectly told Mu Qi not to blame Assistant Li.
Everyone was shocked. Who was this person?
How dare they challenge Mu Qi's authority.
What surprised everyone even more was that after Yun Shu Nian asked this question, Mu Qi immediately responded.
"Yes."
The senior executives sitting in their chairs first widened their eyes, and then slowly came to their senses, realizing that the person on the other end of the phone must be Madam Mu.
"Alright. I have something to tell you."
"Mhm, what is it? I'm listening."
"Mmm~"
Hearing from Assistant Li that Mu Qi was in a meeting, Yun Shu Nian thought she didn't have anything urgent, so she didn't rush to say it.
"Mu Qi, it's nothing major. Mu Qi, you continue with your meeting. We can talk after it's over."
Yun Shu Nian hung up after speaking.
Mu Qi looked at the now black screen of his phone, remaining silent for a few seconds.
He then put aside the documents on his desk and placed his phone on the table in front of him.
"Meeting continues," Mu Qi said coldly, and a senior executive immediately stood up to report.
Five minutes later.
Mu Qi's gaze fell on the phone in front of him for the umpteenth time. After staring for a few seconds, he picked up the phone and pressed the lock button.
Seeing that Yun Shu Nian hadn't sent him any more messages, he frowned and then interrupted the half-completed meeting.
"Meeting adjourned. The rest will be in a video conference tonight."
After saying this, Mu Qi left the conference room without regard for anyone's reaction.
The remaining people looked at each other and then returned to their respective workstations.
"Nian Nian." Mu Qi immediately called Yun Shu Nian after returning to his office.
"Mhm, tomorrow is Ning Jing, that little girl's birthday. Do you have time to go with me?"
After Yun Shu Nian finished speaking, Mu Qi frowned and remained silent for a long time.
"You want to see Ning Chen?"
Yun Shu Nian heard the displeasure in Mu Qi's tone and quickly explained.
"Oh, of course not. I just want to celebrate that little girl's birthday."
Feeling the silence from the other end again, Yun Shu Nian quickly pleaded, "Pretty please, darling? Begging you."
Less than half a minute later, as if worried Yun Shu Nian would lose patience, Mu Qi agreed.
"Mhm, I'll go with you."
"Mhm, mhm, you're so good, darling." Mu Qi's tone was still not good, but Yun Shu Nian's voice became even sweeter.
"Mu Qi, when do you have time? Let's go pick out a gift for that little girl together?"
"Gift?" Mu Qi questioned, clearly not expecting there to be a gift to prepare.
Yun Shu Nian nodded, and then remembering that Mu Qi couldn't see her, quickly responded.
"Never mind, I'll have Auntie Ning go pick out the gift with me. You don't know what young girls like."
