"Chairman Cao, I’ve taken note of this favor, and if you ever need my help in the future, I will definitely not decline."
Although Cao Jinxiu’s initial intention wasn’t to gain a favor from Mu Tiancheng, the situation had reached this point, and faced with such a freely offered favor, as a businessperson, Cao Jinxiu had no reason to refuse.
Mu Tiancheng felt he had expressed his sincerity sufficiently and stood up.
"Then, Chairman Cao, I’ll leave you to your work. My daughter is about your age, so you two could chat more; I believe you might have many common topics among peers."
"Alright, take care, Chairman Mu."
Mu Tiancheng bid farewell to Cao Jinxiu and Mu Binglan and returned to work with his secretary.
Mu Binglan looked at the intellectual and graceful Cao Jinxiu in front of her and raised her glass as a gesture, "eting you for the first ti, Chairman Cao, you gave a huge surprise. Thank you so much."
Faced with Mu Binglan, who was about her own age, Cao Jinxiu spoke more casually, "You’re too kind, President Mu, no need to thank . Actually, it’s mainly because you are so outstanding. After seeing your resu, I felt ashad of my inferiority. That’s why I was willing to support you as the president, because I believe you have the capability."
"In any case, thank you for your trust and support, Chairman Cao." After putting down the coffee cup, Mu Binglan stated, "At the sa ti, please rest assured, Chairman Cao. Now that I’m the president of the wine and travel business group, I will do my utmost and never let you down."
Chapter 144 Cao Jinxiu’s Doubt
"I wonder if you are free at noon, Chairman Cao?"
"If President Mu invites , naturally I am."
"Very well, let’s not put off until tomorrow what we can do today; let’s have lunch together at noon."
Cao Jinxiu nodded in agreent. Though she wasn’t fond of socializing since childhood, she had a strange sense of trust in Mu Binglan.
Mu Binglan was considering where to take Cao Jinxiu for lunch when her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw it was Luo Chen calling. Mu Binglan planned to tell Luo Chen the good news that she had beco the president.
"Luo Chen, I’ve got good news for you, I..."
Holding a spoon and stirring her coffee, Cao Jinxiu was suddenly startled at the ntion of Luo Chen.
However, Mu Binglan didn’t notice Cao Jinxiu’s abnormal reaction and was interrupted by Luo Chen on the other end of the phone before she could finish speaking.
"You’ve beco the wine and travel business group’s president, right? Congratulations!"
"How did you know?"
Mu Binglan was puzzled, then imdiately recalled what her father ntioned earlier about two directors who didn’t usually side with their family suddenly supporting them. Suspicion arose in her mind.
"Today, two directors suddenly supported my dad at the board eting, was that your doing?"
Luo Chen chuckled, neither confirming nor denying.
If it wasn’t Luo Chen, who else could it be?
Not long ago, Yu Wenjie had called Luo Chen and told him the outco of the board eting: Mu Binglan had successfully beco the president of the wine and travel business group. Luo Chen then imdiately called to congratulate Mu Binglan.
The two chatted casually for a while and agreed to have dinner at ho in the evening before ending the call.
"Chairman Cao, what’s wrong?"
After hanging up, Mu Binglan finally noticed Cao Jinxiu’s anomaly. She was sitting there, staring blankly at her.
"Oh, it’s nothing."
Cao Jinxiu snapped back to reality and couldn’t help but ask Mu Binglan, "I heard you ntioning Luo Chen earlier, may I ask who this Luo Chen is to you?"
Seeing Cao Jinxiu inquire about Luo Chen, Mu Binglan was initially taken aback. Considering Cao Jinxiu’s status, she frankly answered, "To tell you the truth, Luo Chen is my... husband."
Upon hearing this, a sudden fear crept into Cao Jinxiu’s heart.
She feared that Mu Binglan’s husband was the boy she rembered.
Seeing Cao Jinxiu lost in thought again, Mu Binglan furrowed her brows slightly, "Chairman Cao, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
