After returning from rebirth, Mr. Mu completely lost control

Chapter 216 Returning to the Friend’s Place (Page 12)

Liu Yun was taken away by her father reluctantly.

Shi Ning looked at Mu Shaochen and hesitated to speak.

Mu Shaochen slowly took a mouthful of rice and then turned to look at her, "What do you want to say?"

"Thank you for standing up for me today."

Even though he might think he was being sentimental, Shi Ning felt that she still needed to thank him.

Mu Shaochen did not deny her words.

He just stared at her thoughtfully for two seconds, then chuckled with unknown meaning and asked in a low voice, "Verbal thank you?"

"Water instead of wine."

Shi Ning raised the water glass in front of him and raised his hands towards him.

Fortunately, Mu Shaochen did not accuse her of not being sincere enough.

Instead, he picked up the half-drunk glass of water and clinked it with her.

The water glass made a pleasant crashing sound in the air, as if some mysterious ceremony was being performed.

Shi Ning drank all the water in the cup before looking up at Mu Shaochen who was drinking water slowly.

The man drank water slowly.

While your Adam's apple is rolling up and down, drink half a glass of water.

The moment he took the water glass away, Shi Ning clearly saw that there seemed to be some tiny water droplets on his lips.

She watched the man lick away the drop of water on his thin lips, and slowly picked up a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth.

Unconsciously, he also swallowed.

The man looks damn sexy like this.

"Cooperation matters..."

Throwing away the tissue, Mu Shaochen looked at Shi Ning again.

He only said half of it, waiting for her reply.

"I……"

Shi Ning frowned and wanted to continue to use the previous rhetoric and push it to Zhou Huai.

"You've seen what's going on now."

Mu Shaochen sat upright with a serious look on his face, "If you want to continue the current situation and are not afraid of rumors, then just pretend that I didn't say anything. But it doesn't rule out that someone will do something drastic to hurt you because of these rumors. I can't It just happens every time. If Zhou Huai thinks about you, he will not let the situation develop like this."

The world is so unfair.

If a man hears such scandals, he will most likely be called a libertine.

He has a bad reputation, but no one will do anything obscene to him.

Women experience the same thing, but no one cares whether it is true or false.

He would only look at her with contempt and regard her as a dissolute person.

If we don't find a way to clarify and refute the rumors, this kind of thing will happen again.

But if it’s just a refutation of rumors, how many people will believe it?

Many people don't want the truth, they just want to believe what they want to believe.

Standing on the high ground and looking down on those who were once unattainable will give you a sense of satisfaction.

Shi Ning, however, did not let him go around him. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can we get rid of the rumors by working together?"

"At the very least, if others know that we are not fighting over the divorce, they will be a little wary of you. They will be a little wary when they want to reach out to you."

Mu Shaochen came up with the words he had already thought of.

Shi Ning still shook his head, "What about you? Why are you so keen on promoting cooperation between the two parties?"

Mu Shaochen had previously explained why he wanted Sixing to cooperate with Shuyi.

She asked now, obviously not believing it.

But Mu Shaochen's expression remained unchanged.

He tapped the table lightly and curved the corner of his mouth just right, "I think the cooperation between Sixing and Calligraphy Art is a win-win situation. Businessmen pursue profits, do you think I will give up such a big benefit for personal reasons?"

After a pause, he continued, "Also, your scandal this time may be bad for you, but our cooperation, in addition to getting rid of inappropriate rumors, can also generate a wave of hype and attract the attention of netizens who follow hot searches. Let's transfer it to the company. At this time, we will release a few more movies with you as the screenwriter, which can save a lot of publicity expenses."

Don’t say anything else.

The script that Shi Ning won the first prize in the screenwriting competition has almost been completed recently.

At this time, publicity and momentum will begin, and the box office will definitely sell well.

Maybe it can win a few awards, but we don’t know.

"I remember you never cared about Si Xing's business before."

Shi Ning presented strong evidence.

Mu Shaochen smiled, "Cheng Zizhi thinks that cooperation between the two companies is beneficial, but he can't convince you, so he begged me to come forward. As a boss, do you think it's inappropriate for Miss Shi to run errands for her company?"

Shi Ning's eyes were dazzled by his smile, and his heart beat a few times.

But I still don’t want to agree so hastily.

After all, she had promised Zhou Huai before that this kind of matter would be decided by him.

Now that she can't contact Zhou Huai, it's even more impossible for her to make her own decision.

Just when Shi Ning was about to reject Mu Shaochen, he was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his cell phone.

She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded apologetically to Mu Shaochen.

Mu Shaochen made a "please" gesture, stood up and picked up the kettle next to him to add water to the cups in front of them.

Shi Ning took out his cell phone from his bag and his eyes widened slightly when he saw the caller ID.

The heart that had just been put down was raised again.

He pursed his lips, then lowered his eyes and answered the phone.

"Ningzi! Are you okay?"

As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Huai's nervous voice came from the phone.

The background sound is a bit noisy, and occasionally a whistle can be heard.

"I am fine."

Shi Ning replied dryly.

I wanted to ask him why he didn't come to the company today and couldn't get through on the phone.

But thinking about the phone call yesterday, I swallowed the words that came to my lips.

Zhou Huai didn't seem to notice anything unusual about her, and continued to ask, "Where are you? Are you still in that hotel?"

"Yeah. We met Mr. Mu, and we..."

Shi Ning looked up at Mu Shaochen and saw him sitting there, holding a glass with his slender fingers and sipping water.

Hearing her mention him, the corner of his mouth raised a polite smile and nodded slightly.

"Which box are you in? I'll be there soon."

Zhou Huai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Mu Shaochen was also there.

This reaction was somewhat unexpected.

Shi Ning was stunned for a moment before reporting the box number.

After hanging up the phone and meeting Mu Shaochen's questioning gaze, Shi Ning told the truth, "It's Zhou Huai. He seems to know what happened before and is on his way over."

"He probably hasn't eaten yet. I'll ask the waiter to take these away and order a few more dishes."

Mu Shaochen raised his eyebrows.

Without waiting for Shi Ning to refuse, he rang the bell and called the waiter over.

Not long after, people came over and took away the dishes they hadn't finished yet.

Not long after the new dishes arrived, the box door was pushed open again.

Zhou Huai walked in quickly, looked at Shi Ning up and down, made sure she was okay, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Ningzi, I'm sorry. It was my lack of consideration that made this happen to you."

He apologized with remorse and guilt on his face.

That man was a bit lustful, and Zhou Huai knew it.
