"Hey!"
Xiao Fan said excitedly, "President, Miss Meng is truly amazing. She's already resolved it, resolved it."
Xiao Fan's voice was so excited it was about to reach the heavens; one could tell how thrilled he was just through the screen.
Mu Jiuchen's gaze flickered. He had underestimated Meng Yuan before. He said, "Prepare a separate office for Miss Meng. From now on, all company matters will be handled by her. Tell her her annual salary will be double the market rate. While I'm away, you will guard the company's affairs."
"Ah, Sir, when will you be back?" He needed to know how long he had to hold on. He couldn't bear it for too long.
You've won your beloved beauty, but my wife is still being nurtured by her future mother-in-law?
Mu Jiuchen: "Not yet determined."
Xiao Fan: "..."
Then, he watched the call hang up, looked at Meng Yuan, and smiled happily, "Miss Meng, you heard what was just said, right?"
Meng Yuan nodded excitedly, smiling. She heard it, clearly. This Mu Jiuchen was truly sending charcoal in the snow.
"I heard it, I heard it. Arrange an office for me immediately, and then transfer this payment to my account. I urgently need to buy furniture."
Xiao Fan didn't understand. With Mr. He's wealth, would he need your money to buy furniture?
This was personal privacy, and Xiao Fan really didn't dare to ask.
"Miss Meng, I'll prepare an office for you right now." With Meng Yuan in charge, he could sleep soundly tonight.
Better to have fewer troubles than more. Many people caused trouble at night.
Meng Yuan was also very confident. In this world, she had only been defeated by Jiang Nuan; she had never been defeated by any other hacker.
Now she didn't have to worry about the money for furniture, and she could even save a nest egg. Wow, Meng Yuan's heart was soaring freely.
Han Family!
Han Yifan's expression grew colder as he looked at the line of text on the screen.
[Welcome to the challenge, you're too weak today]
Han Yifan sneered. He had underestimated Mu Jiuchen. His company actually had such talent.
He picked up his phone and sent a message.
[Investigate all of Mu Jiuchen's industries in Qi Kingdom.]
He then sent another message to a different number, [Investigate who are the people in the technical department of Mu Corporation.]
The person who appeared today was indeed a worthy opponent.
Mu Jiuchen dealt with a few important documents, then looked at Jiang Nuan, who was sitting nearby reading a book.
She threw a cushion on the floor and sat by the window to read. Sunlight gently cascaded in, filling the room with warmth. She sat quietly reading, her fair skin almost transparent in the sunlight. Her profile was soft, and her quiet demeanor, less distant than usual, made her even more lovable.
Mu Jiuchen wished time could freeze, allowing him to cherish this warm and happy moment for a lifetime.
His tall, upright figure walked over, casting a shadow over the girl's slender form, yet it was unexpectedly harmonious.
Jiang Nuan was reading intently until she was enveloped by the shadow. She slowly raised her head, looking at Mu Jiuchen, blinking her slightly sore eyes.
The window reflected the figures of the two, one sitting, one standing. In their downward gaze and upward glance, both smiled. Mu Jiuchen slowly sat beside her and asked, "What are you reading that you're so engrossed in?" Mu Jiuchen disliked being ignored by her.
His sight was filled with her, but she, with her head down, couldn't see him.
Perhaps feeling unbalanced, Mu Jiuchen leaned down and kissed her red lips forcefully after sitting down, his deep eyes gazing at her.
Jiang Nuan put down her book and looked at him, "I'm reading a medical debate. Why do you have such books here?"
Mu Jiuchen shook his head, "I don't know. These books were left by the previous owner. I kept them because they are rare books not commonly found in the market."
"This house was bought by an elderly couple. Their son took the wife away later. Before the couple could move in, they sold the house to me. The old gentleman loved to read, so he moved these books over first, asking me to keep them for a while. But years have passed, and he never came back to collect them. Considering his age, he might have already passed away. I haven't even looked at what books they are myself."
So that's how it was?
Jiang Nuan picked up the thick book. She hadn't seen this kind of book elsewhere.
Many of the medical techniques recorded in it were unfamiliar to her.
Jiang Nuan looked at his handsome profile, which was impeccably perfect. She smiled and said, "Can you give me this book? If that gentleman returns, I will return it. I haven't encountered the medical techniques inside before. I've read the first few formulas, which combine Chinese and Western medicine and can effectively treat some sudden illnesses."
Mu Jiuchen extended his well-defined fingers and gently pinched her cheek.
Jiang Nuan felt a slight sting. His touch was somewhat punishing.
Before she could speak, a deep voice reached her ears, "Nuannuan, what's mine is yours. Unless you don't want to marry me?"
He had mentioned getting their marriage certificate, but Jiang Nuan hadn't agreed. She wanted to enjoy the process of dating, and he also liked the days of dating, the feeling of anxiety and fulfillment when he saw her.
If she hadn't appeared, Mu Jiuchen's life would not have included such experiences.
Jiang Nuan pointed at the book and said, "The book isn't yours. Also, are you jealous of a book?" Jiang Nuan looked at him with amusement. This man, in front of her, was like a child.
Mu Jiuchen glanced faintly at the book, then said slowly, "Besides me, you cannot care about anyone else. You can only care about me, otherwise I'll get jealous."
His words not only sounded sour, but his handsome and elegant face was also tinged with jealousy.
Mu Jiuchen helped her up and said slowly, "You've been sitting for too long. I'll accompany you for a walk."
"Mhm!" Jiang Nuan didn't refuse. By the afternoon, she was still full of energy, which was somewhat unexpected.
When they went downstairs, Mu Jiuchen received a message from He Mingrun, [The medicinal ingredients have all been prepared and handed over to Chen Feng.]
Mu Jiuchen replied: [Thank you!]
Then He Mingrun sent another message. Initially, it was an angry emoji, [Mu Jiuchen, you're not human! You've stolen Yuan Yuan away. I've been trying to persuade her to work at my company, but she's in charge of your company. That's my wife!]
Across the screen, Mu Jiuchen could feel He Mingrun's unwillingness and anger.
His slender fingers quickly typed a line and sent it, [I'm offering a high annual salary, and Miss Meng is willing.]
He Mingrun looked at the message. Was he very stingy? Everything he had belonged to Meng Yuan.
He turned his head to look at the happy Meng Yuan beside him, gritting his teeth in anger. While he was upset, he remained as gentle as ever towards the person he loved.
"Yuanyuan, am I not good to you?"
The happy Meng Yuan was taken aback by his question. She looked at him and said loudly, "Yes, you're the best man I've ever met."
These words made He Mingrun's anger subside by half. He quietly looked at her again and asked, "Yuanyuan, can you feel my love for you?"
