Chapter 351 A great goal. The lights are on. The Huangpu River is like a jade belt, lying on the neon-lit Bund.
In a villa by the river, Mu Ningyan stood in front of the window, quietly looking at the river in the distance.
Xu Lu stood behind Mu Ningyan, flipping through the folder in her hand, and recounted the latest news she had just received.
"Boss, at four o'clock this afternoon, the four French warships that were conducting anti-piracy military exercises in the waters near Cutthroat Island have all withdrawn from the waters of Cutthroat Island and are returning to the Dakar military base in Senegal. This news has been
Confirmed by the local government of Madeira, Portugal.”
Xu Lu raised her head, looked at Mu Ningyan's graceful and graceful back, and continued, "For the other unit participating in this anti-piracy military exercise, which is the paratrooper regiment currently fighting on Cutthroat Island, all parties in France
There are no relevant reports in the major media. Moreover, neither the headquarters of the French Foreign Legion, nor the French Ministry of Defense, nor even the French Presidential Palace have made any further statements about this military exercise. It seems that the Parachute Regiment has been abandoned by the French government.
, they once again became the outcasts of the French government."
Mu Ningyan's face was calm and calm, as if she was just an outsider who stayed out of the matter. After a long time, she slowly uttered a sentence. "That bastard is coming back."
Suddenly hearing such a sentence, Xu Lu, who was looking through the documents, almost laughed out loud. Looking at Mu Ningyan's slender and graceful back, Xu Lu hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth. After her emotions calmed down, she continued. "
Boss, the preliminary preparations for the overseas investment plan have been completed today, and all funds have been received."
"Very good." Mu Ningyan lowered her head and looked at her watch. Today is December 20, which is still half a month away from January 6, the day when the Buddha's bone relics will go to England for exhibition.
In another half month, I will be able to successfully implement my overseas investment plan. In order to achieve this goal, I have been carefully preparing for several months and put in countless sweat and efforts, but when this moment is about to come
At that time, except for the extremely plain "very good", Mu Ningyan did not say another word. Her flawless and delicate face remained calm, with only a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
, vaguely revealing her inner joy and pride.
"Boss, there is a guest from Honolulu, Hawaii who wants to visit you. She did not make an appointment before, but she just made a phone call to me at 5:30 this afternoon and said she wanted to come and see you in the evening." Xu
Lu paused and then continued. "I originally wanted to refuse her visit, but she said something that surprised me very much."
Listening to the tone of Xu Lu's words, Mu Ningyan understood that Xu Lu had agreed to the guest's visit in the evening. This surprised Mu Ningyan. As Mu Ningyan's most trusted female assistant, Xu Lu followed Mu Ningyan
After many years, I naturally knew that Mu Ningyan never met visitors at night.
Mu Ningyan manages her family business in an orderly manner, and similarly, she allocates her work and rest time in an orderly manner. Work is work, and life is life. Mu Ningyan doesn't like to mix the two, she needs
Some time that belongs to you and can be freely managed by yourself. During the day, Mu Ningyan usually stays in the office to handle official duties and meet with visitors. At night, Mu Ningyan likes to stay at home quietly, reading and doing things.
Exercise, or quietly analyze the various information Xu Lu collected.
However, in addition to being surprised by Xu Lu's behavior, Mu Ningyan was even more interested in what Xu Lu said that surprised her.
Mu Ningyan slowly turned around, staring at Xu Lu calmly with her big, clear and translucent eyes like autumn water, gesturing for her to continue speaking.
Seeing that Mu Ningyan didn't mean to blame herself, Xu Lu's worried heart suddenly relaxed. She hurriedly looked through the documents in her hand and said loudly. "Boss, the guest who came all the way from Honolulu calls himself c
Miss. Ms. C said that she is very aware of the affairs of Mushi Group. On the surface, it seems that Mushi Group is firmly at the top of China's industrial and commercial circles and has a good momentum of development. But in fact, it has reached a bottleneck stage, and the Chinese market
It is currently in a saturated state. If you want to make further development or industrial adjustment, you will face many difficulties. In addition, Miss C also pointed out that the potential crises of our Mushi Group are not just these, there are also serious internal crises.
.”
"The internal crisis she is talking about refers to the internal affairs of the Mu family." Xu Lu glanced at Mu Ningyan secretly and whispered. "Also, she also knew about our plan to make business investments in Europe and the United States.
.”
"Oh." Mu Ningyan was very surprised, walked quickly to the desk, and began to think deeply.
"I was also surprised at the time." Xu Lu also followed Mu Ningyan to the desk and continued. "The things she mentioned about the internal affairs of the Mu family are only known to a very few people at our group headquarters.
In addition, regarding our plan to make business investments overseas, that was a decision we made recently, and the only person who knew about it, apart from the two of us, was Ye Feng. So, I thought at the time that this c
The lady is a friend of Ye Feng, so I asked her how she knew about us. Who knew, but she told me lightly that these were all her guesses."
After some contemplation, Mu Ningyan regained her usual calmness and said calmly, "If she guessed all these things out of thin air, then she can be called an immortal descended from heaven."
"Yes, the chance of guessing so many things and completely guessing the result is too slim." Xu Lu hesitated for a moment and then said. "Perhaps, this Miss C has secretly controlled many things about our Mu Group.
thing."
"Of course." Mu Ningyan smiled lightly and said. "Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Since she is so interested in me, then I will meet her and see what she wants to talk to me about.
What."
"Boss, she's going to visit at seven o'clock in the evening." Xu Lu looked at her watch and promptly reminded Mu Ningyan that the time to meet the guests was almost up.
"Take her to my study later." Mu Ningyan stood up and walked to the bedroom.
…
The water mist is misty and the tea smells faint.
In an elegantly decorated study room, two stunning beauties sat face to face on the sofa.
Mu Ningyan has changed into an exquisite black dress, noble and elegant. Just like the dress on her body, Mu Ningyan's demeanor is equally elegant and generous. Mu Ningyan is seen washing her hands carefully, and being meticulous
He was cleaning the tea sets, boiling water, making tea, and pouring the tea. Every process was so beautiful, and he looked like a master in the tea ceremony.
Miss C, who sits opposite Mu Ningyan, is a mixed-race woman with a tall and graceful figure, a youthful and sexy temperament, and a perfect blend of Eastern mystery and Western beauty.
"Miss C, do you like tea?" Mu Ningyan said in standard English.
Ever since she walked into the study, Miss C was completely impressed by Mu Ningyan's skillful and elegant tea art. She sat on the sofa, her clear and bright blue eyes staring closely at Mu Ningyan's hands, and she was concentrating on admiring Mu Ningyan.
Tea ceremony interpretation of smoke.
"The tea is very fragrant, I like it very much." Ms. C spoke in half-baked Chinese, with a faint hint of a southern Fujian accent. "I am of mixed race, with half Chinese blood. However, my Chinese is not very good.
No, please don’t laugh at me, Sister Mu."
Mu Ningyan smiled, nodded and said, "I hope Miss C can forgive me for not greeting me well."
"Sister Mu, you are so polite." Miss C stretched out her little hand, picked up the purple clay tea cup on the tray, put it between her nose and gently smelled the faint fragrance of tea. "What a wonderful feeling, compared to me
All the tea I have ever tasted is the best."
"The pleasant fragrance floats out leisurely from the bottom of the cup. The fragrance rises in a spiral and slowly spreads into the body. You can almost feel the expansion of the skin as it is absorbed. It feels as if you are standing in the strong wind and about to fly. Then the strong fragrance disappears.
It goes away, and then becomes uncertain, sometimes thick and light, sometimes present and sometimes absent. When it is light, it is light and shallow, and it goes away as soon as a little bit, like the clear breeze and bright moon; when it is thick, it is soft, leaving traces, like the inadvertent expression of a beautiful woman.
Eye wave. However, no matter how much you love it or not, it cannot be controlled by your will. Its changes are random and careless. The only thing you can do is to wait quietly for it to come." Miss C stuck out her tongue playfully.
, then he raised his tea cup and took a sip, and said with a smile. "It's amazing. I really like this feeling. It's really amazing."
Listening to Miss C's eloquent feelings, Mu Ningyan couldn't help but smile, and her mind suddenly drifted to a distant place. Mu Ningyan thought of a person, who, like Miss C in front of her, spoke with eloquence.
, sway freely.
That guy who likes to talk glibly doesn't know when he will come back. Finding that Miss C has put down the tea cup, Mu Ningyan's mind immediately returned to reality, looking at Miss C who warmly called herself her sister when they met for the first time.
, Mu Ningyan said with a smile. "Miss C, I hear you speak with a Minnan accent. Are your parents from Minnan?"
"I don't know, I'm an orphan." A trace of melancholy flashed in Miss C's eyes, and then she changed into a smile. "My parents died when I was young, and I was raised by my adoptive father. He said that my father's ancestral home is in China.
Xiamen, so when I grew up, I found an overseas Chinese from Xiamen to be my teacher and asked her to teach me Chinese. Hehe, sister Mu, does my current Chinese dialect have a strong southern Fujian accent?
"
She inadvertently touched other people's sad things, which made Mu Ningyan feel a little embarrassed. She hurriedly stretched out her little hand, picked up the purple clay pot, her orchid fingers were slightly raised, and poured another cup of tea for Miss C.
Seeing the apology in Mu Ningyan's eyes, Miss C smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Mu, I came all the way but didn't tell you my name. You won't blame me, right?"
"A name is just a symbol. If you want to make friends, sincerity and trust are the most important." Mu Ningyan said with a pun.
Miss C nodded appreciatively, took out a document from her handbag and handed it to Mu Ningyan. "Sister Mu, this is a business plan."
"Sister Mu, although I can't tell you my name yet, if Sister Mu chooses to cooperate with me, in order to show my sincerity, before we start cooperation, I will pay all the prepaid funds in accordance with the provisions of the contract.
Enter the bank account designated by Sister Mu."
Mu Ningyan calmly looked through the business plan in her hand, and the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became. Miss C, on the other hand, was sipping her tea as if nothing had happened.
Closing the business plan, Mu Ningyan said calmly. "Miss C, this is a perfect business investment plan. I sincerely admire Miss C's talent. However, there is one thing I don't quite understand.
In this business plan jointly funded by both of us, your investment share is 20% more than mine, but you handed over the management rights to me and shared the profits equally with me. You did this, which made
I’m very puzzled.”
Miss C played with the purple clay tea cup in her hand and said lightly, "I do this not for money or profit, but for a great goal."
"What a great goal." Mu Ningyan put down the business plan in her hand and looked at Miss C. "Can you explain it to me?"
"We are all women, and what I do is also related to the future of thousands of women." Miss C put down the purple clay tea cup in her hand, sat upright, and said solemnly. "In this world where men do their own thing.
In the world, men look down on us women more and more, and they only regard women as accessories, as capital to show off their strength to other men."
"Sister Mu, I wonder if you have this experience. As the helmsman of the Mu Group, you have made great contributions to the restoration of the Mu Group's glory, but the internal members of the Mu family are rejecting you. The reason why they are like this
You do it just because you are a woman."
"Sister Mu, you are the best among us women. The reason why I asked you to cooperate is that through our joint efforts, we want to change the disadvantaged status of us women. We want to let those men who discriminate against us see that we women also have the ability to
The ability to change the world.”
Mu Ningyan was speechless, holding the purple sand cup and quietly savoring the fragrance of the tea, but Mu Ningyan's heart was shaken. Indeed, as Miss C said, if Mu Ningyan is a member of the Mu family
As a male member of the group, they might acquiesce in Mu Ningyan's leadership position. Even if someone makes trouble, at least it won't be as chaotic and incompatible as it is now.
Seeing that Mu Ningyan remained silent, Miss C picked up her handbag, took out a beautifully crafted invitation letter, and handed it to Mu Ningyan with both hands.
"Sister Mu, there is a lecture at Tianjing University this weekend. Please take the time to go and listen to it. By then, I think Sister Mu will definitely understand what I just said."
Mu Ningyan put down the purple clay teacup, reached out to take the invitation, and asked casually, "During the weekend, Miss C, will you also go to Tianjing University to attend lectures?"
"I also want to visit Tianjing. I heard that it is the largest city in northern China. It has a long history and many cultural monuments. I have long heard about that city from my Chinese teacher."
Miss C smiled and then sighed. "Unfortunately, I still have important things to do. I have to take a plane to leave China tonight."
