The plane landed at Shanghai Pudong Airport. Tong Nian'an was already very tired and was still jet-lagged when she came back. Unexpectedly, Enen was very excited and didn't look like she was going to sleep at all.
The hotel was arranged at the Shangri-La in Lujiazui. When Tong Nianan took a taxi there, she slept in the car all the way, but the little guy Enen kept jumping up and down in the car, pulling Tong Nianan to talk about this and that.
When Tong Nianan arrived at the hotel, she was no longer sleepy. The hotel waiter helped carry their luggage to the room, but Enen insisted on taking Tong Nianan to play on the Bund.
"Uncle John said that the Bund is famous, oh, and there is also the Oriental Pearl Tower!" the little guy tilted his head and said seriously.
Tong Nian'an had no choice but to take her down. Although she grew up in China, she had never been to Shanghai, let alone the Oriental Pearl Tower. However, they were not very lucky. After half an hour, there was a heavy fog.
You can no longer see the revolving restaurant above under the Oriental Pearl Tower, and you probably won’t be able to see much of the view from the top.
Tong Nianan picked up Enen, kissed her cheek and said with a smile: "Today is not the time. We will go up another day. Mommy will take you to the other side to have a look, okay?"
Enen stretched out her little hands to hold Tong Nian'an's face, and said with a smile: "Well, Uncle John said you should listen to mommy."
"Yeah, you're so good."
"Mommy, please let me down. I can walk by myself." Enen struggled to get down. She trotted forward a few steps, turned back and smiled at Tong Nian'an, "Mommy, come on!"
The mother and daughter walked from the Bund to Nanjing West Road, and then went to the City God's Temple. There is a saying that "come to Shanghai to see the heads of people." Sure enough, there are a lot of tourists every day. After walking all the way, both of them were tired. Back to the hotel
, Tong Nianan just gave Enen a bath, and the little guy had already fallen asleep.
She sat down beside her daughter's bed, stretched out her hand and caressed her pink face slowly, with a happy smile on her lips. She and Shen Han had been separated for four years. Fortunately, she had Enen by her side in the past four years, otherwise, she would
She really didn't know what to do. Tong Nian'an leaned over and kissed Enen. Her phone started ringing, so she hurriedly took it and left the room.
"John? Yes, we are already here. Everything is fine, don't worry. Hmm? Is there a fax? Okay, wait a moment, I will go down and ask the front desk right away." Tong Nian'an walked to the door and closed the door as he spoke.
, she turned around and walked to the elevator.
...........
At this time, inside the elevator.
Mu Jingxi was exhausted after sitting in the car for three hours. The driver beside him carried his luggage for him and glanced at him worriedly: "Third Young Master, are you okay?"
He responded, and the elevator door opened with a "ding". As he stepped out, he saw a petite figure entering the elevator nearby. Mu Jingxi couldn't help but glance sideways. It happened that the elevator door closed, and he only saw
A corner of Tong Nian'an's clothes.
The driver opened the door for Mu Jingxi. Mu Jingxi walked into the bedroom and put down the information in his hand. Mr. Mo's phone call came after him.
There was Mu Jingbei's defensive voice over there. Mu Jingxi breathed out and said, "Old man, it's none of Xiaobei's business. I came here myself."
The old man's voice still sounded very angry: "You don't have to ask him to cover up, I don't know what his temper is! I'll take care of him later! Jingxi, I'm going to ask Jingdong to send someone to Shanghai now, and you'll be back soon."
Mu Jingxi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said with a low smile: "I have been riding for three hours, and now I just want to have a good sleep, and I don't want to do anything else. That's the end of it.
Or do you not believe that I can do this well?"
Mr. Mo was silent. Mu Jingnan's voice was faintly heard over there, and then she picked up the phone: "Jingxi, do you have any medicine on you?"
Mu Jingxi subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the driver. The driver had already gone out. Then he nodded: "I'll take it with me."
"Don't forget what I told you, don't be too tired. If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself..."
"Second sister, I'm tired of hearing your words, so that's it, I'll hang up first." Mu Jingxi cut off the phone decisively, stood up, walked to the window, and opened the curtains.
Shanghai was ablaze with lights at night, and you could easily see the panoramic view of the Bund. He poured a cup of hot water and held it in his hand, with a smile slowly appearing on his lips. Maybe Xiaobei was right, it would be nice to go out for a walk.
.
...........
The next day, Mu Jingxi arrived at the club very early, so he rested in the lounge. However, an hour had passed and no one came to notify him. Mu Jingxi couldn't help but open the door and called someone in.
, the man hesitated for a long time before saying that Naris's representative hadn't arrived yet.
As a result, another hour had passed and there was no one around. Mu Jingxi was obviously a little impatient. They said foreigners were the most punctual, but he didn't think so!
The manager of Otto's Shanghai branch came over and asked cautiously: "Third Young Master, there will be a press conference soon. I think it may be too late. What do you think we should do?"
Mu Jingxi pondered for a moment. Many big companies were watching this contract, and he didn't want those people to see Otto's jokes, especially Jing Yichen!
"Third Young Master..."
"The press conference will be held as usual!" His voice was slightly cold. Those reporters will not know whether the contract is signed or not. They will just make up for it when the time comes. Nerys's representative is not here yet, and it seems that it is early.
No more.
As expected, Mu Jingxi didn't see anyone there until the beginning of the press conference.
At the table, the reporters’ questions became more and more pointed:
"Mr. Mu, I heard that today is the day when Otto and Nerys signed a contract, but why don't you see Nerys's people? Has the signing changed?"
Mu Jingxi smiled elegantly: "Of course not, the signing went smoothly, but the other party took a step in advance."
"There are rumors that Odo and Nerys are not getting along. Are the rumors true?"
Mu Jingxi still kept smiling: "If we don't get along, how can we have today's cooperation?"
…
...........
"Mommy, Mommy..."
Faintly hearing En'en's voice in her ears, Tong Nian'an opened her eyes slightly and saw En'en sitting next to her, pulling her arm. Tong Nian'an jumped up suddenly, grabbed the cell phone on the side and took a look. Oh no!
! She was too tired last night, and she was still jet lag, so she overslept! Damn it, she forgot to turn on the alarm clock!
Tong Nian'an quickly got up from the bed, tidied everything up, and told Enen to wait for her at the hotel. She got down and took a taxi to the scene.
When she arrived, someone was already cleaning up the scene. Tong Nian'an was surprised and quickly grabbed someone and asked, "Where are the people here?"
The man smiled: "I left early. I was laughing so hard. I even heard those reporters saying that they originally wanted to see how beautiful Master John's beloved disciple is, but I didn't expect that no one saw it at all!"
Tong Nian'an's face changed slightly: "What about Odo's people?"
"I've gone back too. I see that their president's expression is not good. Hey, miss, I won't say any more. I'm cleaning up the venue!"
Tong Nian'an let go of her hand. She was stunned for a moment, and then gritted her teeth. John believed her and asked her to come. He didn't expect that she couldn't even do this little thing! She was so late and couldn't catch up with the press release.
Yes, the CEO of Otto will definitely be in a bad mood! Tong Nian'an was a little confused. When she turned around, she remembered that John seemed to have given her the phone number of Otto's Shanghai branch before leaving. She hurriedly found it and called it.
The female voice that answered the phone was very sweet.
"Is your president here?" After four years, Tong Nian'an has become accustomed to communicating in English, and she can't change it after coming to Shanghai.
"Oh, our president went to the hotel to rest."
"which hotel?"
“Shangri-La in Pudong.”
Tong Nian'an was startled. Such a coincidence?
"Can you help me check which room it is? I'm Nerys's Ann."
They quickly gave her a room number, Tong Nian'an closed the call and took a taxi back.
...........
Mu Jingxi was in a bad mood all the way. When he walked into the hotel lobby, the elevator was busy at this time. At the venue, he waited for Naris's people for more than two hours in vain, and let the group of reporters drag him around to ask questions for two hours.
Feeling very tired and uncomfortable, he waited for a long time but no elevator came down, but his vision gradually blurred. Mu Jingxi subconsciously stretched out his hand to support the wall. A woman behind him who had just come in helped him, and he turned around
When she saw that beautiful face, her eyes showed shock, her red lips slightly lifted, but she heard him smile slowly and say softly: "Thank you, I'm fine."
In her astonishment, he had quietly pulled out his arm.
When the elevator arrived, Mu Jingxi stepped in, and the woman behind him quickly followed.
"Wait a minute!" Tong Nian'an saw someone entering the elevator from a distance, but when she ran in, the elevator had already gone up. She cursed in a low voice and could only wait for the next elevator.
Thinking of the room number in her mind, Tong Nianan thought it was a coincidence that she was on the same floor.
...........
Mu Jingxi walked out of the elevator, and the woman behind him hurriedly followed him out. He walked straight to his room, and heard someone calling him "Sir" behind him. He stopped and turned around, and saw an aunt dressed as a cleaner running over, panting and saying
: "There is a child in front of me who ran out of the room crying, but I can't understand the English she spoke. Could you please come over and have a look?"
Mu Jingxi nodded and turned around.
Enen was standing at the door crying and kept saying in English that she wanted to find her mother.
Mu Jingxi stood in front of her and saw her raising her head with tears in her eyes. Under her golden curly hair, she had the face of an Oriental child. Mu Jingxi frowned unconsciously and knelt down and asked her in English: "
What's wrong?"
Enen cried and said: "My mommy is missing. She came when she said she would, but she didn't come for a long time!"
He raised his hand to wipe her tears and smiled gently: "Did your mommy tell you to wait in the room?"
Enen thought carefully and then nodded.
"Then you go back and wait patiently."
Enen grabbed his arm and stared at him: "You won't lie to me?"
He was amused by her: "How could I lie to you?"
"Then do you dare to wait for me and wait for my mommy?" For such a young child, he speaks quite powerfully.
dare……
In his memory, there seemed to be someone who had said this to him. Mu Jingxi's face looked a little ugly. Before he could answer, Enen had already pulled him in.
"Hey..." The woman who followed Mu Jingxi was about to speak, but the door had already slammed shut. She had no choice but to turn around and leave.
