Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes, nodded and said, "Okay."
After Shen Tian left, Chi Muzhen called Chen Wen.
After knowing that Shili Village had temporarily stabilized, she said: "Village Chief Chen, there is no need to worry about fabric production. It is not too late to start after the flood recedes."
"Okay, thank you, Miss Chi, for your accommodation."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen received a call from Huo Yunting.
"Dinner together at noon?"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "Huo's and MY are a little far away, so we might not be able to make it in time."
"I'll leave from Huo's half an hour early."
"Mr. Huo, I haven't thought about it yet."
Huo Yunting chuckled and said in a low voice: "I just want to have a meal with you. I don't mean to ask you for answers."
"Okay, what would you like to eat?"
"Should I be the one asking you this?"
Hearing the smile in Huo Yunting's tone, Chi Muzhen's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little, "I can do it."
“How about eating Sichuan food?”
Chi Muzhen's hand holding the phone unconsciously tightened, "Mr. Huo, you don't have to go out of your way to accommodate me. Just pick a restaurant where we can eat."
After a few seconds of silence, Huo Yunting whispered: "Okay."
"I still have to work, so that's it for now."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen touched her hot face, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.
She picked up the file and continued to read it. She could still read it at first, but as the time approached twelve noon, it became increasingly difficult for her to concentrate.
After finally staying up until twelve o'clock, Chi Muzhen turned on her phone. Huo Yunting had already sent her the name and location of the restaurant.
She went to the bathroom to put on lipstick, and when she went to take the elevator, she met Shen Tian.
Shen Tian looked at her in surprise, "Are you going out to eat at lunch?"
Chi Muzhen nodded, "Yeah."
"one person?"
"No, I made an appointment with someone else."
Afraid that Shen Tian would continue to ask questions, Chi Muzhen said quickly: "I suddenly remembered that I forgot something in the office. You go down first and I will go down later."
"it is good."
Seeing Chi Muzhen leaving in a hurry, Shen Tian raised her eyebrows. Is it an illusion? Why do I feel that Chi Muzhen is weird today.
After sitting in the office for a few minutes, Chi Muzhen went out after guessing that Shen Tian had already left.
When he arrived at the restaurant Huo Yunting had booked, he was already waiting there.
Huo Yunting couldn't help but frown when he saw Chi Mu Zhen's eyes wandering around as she walked towards him, as if she was looking to see if he knew anyone.
After finally sitting down opposite Huo Yunting, Chi Muzhen looked at him.
"Have you ordered your food yet?"
Huo Yunting handed her the menu, "No, you can take a look at what you want to eat. I've booked the restaurant, so no one else will disturb us."
Hearing this, Chi Mu Zhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, took the menu and read it.
The expression on Huo Yunting's face darkened little by little. After Chi Muzhen finished ordering, he said casually: "You don't want others to see me eating with you?"
Chi Muzhen was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "I'm just afraid that I need to explain when I meet an acquaintance. After all, our current identities are a bit awkward."
Huo Yunting said no more, but the aura around him became noticeably lighter.
"Are you upset?"
"No." Huo Yunting picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip, his tone was dry.
Sensing Huo Yunting's displeasure, Chi Muzhen wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but then thought that she hadn't decided whether to give each other another chance, so she lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Since there were only two of them in the entire restaurant, the food was served quickly.
Although Huo Yunting was unhappy with Chi Muzhen and didn't want others to see them eating together, he still took the initiative to chat with Chi Muzhen during the meal.
"By the way, what is the main purpose of your business trip to Shili Village?"
Chi Muzhen swallowed the rice in her mouth and said calmly: "MY plans to cooperate with the fabric factory in Shili Village, so I sent me over to investigate."
"Didn't you say you were a cleaner last time? Are the cleaners in your company still doing this job?"
Chi Muzhen: "..."
After a few seconds of silence, she looked up at Huo Yunting and said, "Do you really believe me when I say I'm a cleaner?"
"Of course I don't believe it, so what on earth are you doing at MY?"
Chi Muzhen took a sip of the soup, looked at Huo Yunting calmly and said, "You should have investigated what I am doing at MY, right?"
When she returned to MY, she asked Shen Tian to create a fake employment information for herself. If others went to the human resources department to investigate, they would only be able to find that fake information.
Huo Yunting frowned, "You don't trust me that much?"
Ever since he knew that she didn't like him investigating her affairs, he never asked Kening to continue the investigation, but sometimes asked him to check her location.
Seeing the displeasure in his eyes, Chi Muzhen tightened her hands holding the chopsticks unconsciously and whispered: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"Don't worry, I won't explore the things you don't want to tell me in the future. After all, everyone has secrets that they don't want to tell others."
Similarly, he also had some things that he couldn't tell Chi Muzhen.
Chi Muzhen felt that Huo Yunting had indeed changed a lot. He never cared about other people's feelings before, but now he was willing to take care of her emotions.
Thinking of this, Chi Muzhen smiled and said: "I am just an ordinary employee in MY. I do the same work as a secretary. I can be considered an assistant."
Huo Yunting also knew that Chi Muzhen had not graduated from high school, so such a job was not difficult for her.
Thinking of the fact that Chi Muzhen was always criticized by others for not graduating from high school, Huo Yunting looked at her and said seriously: "Have you ever thought about finishing high school? It's not too late for you to go to college at your current age."
Surprise flashed in Chi Muzhen's eyes, and then she shook her head and said, "No, a college degree is of little use to me."
Moreover, she had already obtained a doctorate degree before the Chi family found her.
At that time, she went to high school because her master told her not to act too different from ordinary people, so she only agreed to enroll when Chi Zhen and Xu Rou asked her to go to high school.
After what happened, she didn't go back to continue reading.
Huo Yunting frowned, "Are you just going to live your whole life with a junior high school diploma?"
Although he didn't mind, he didn't want others to look down on Chi Muzhen.
"Just getting a college degree doesn't seem to make any difference to my life."
"At least when people mention you, they won't say you didn't finish high school."
Chi Muzhen was silent for a while, and her eyes became indifferent.
"Mr. Huo, you seem to have made a mistake."
"what?"
"Let's not mention that I haven't agreed to start over with you yet. Even if I agree, you have no right to ask me to change.
If you don't like someone who only has a junior high school diploma, you can find a girl with a college diploma to be with you. And if I agree to retake the college entrance examination in order to gain your approval, will you have more demands from me in the future? Do I change? "
Huo Yunting's eyes flashed with displeasure, and his voice became a little lower, "I'm doing this for your own good too."
"I don't need it, I know exactly what I want."
Huo Yunting said nothing more, but the two of them ate in silence for the rest of the meal.
After finishing the meal, Chi Muzhen rejected Huo Yunting's offer to send her back to the company, said goodbye to him and left directly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the door of the company, she met Cheng Shumin who came to see her.
"Chi Muzhen, let's talk!"
