Quite awkward

Back in the car, Qi Yu prepared to book a room online. The price of a double bed room, which originally cost several hundred yuan, has now doubled.

What's happening here?

Chen Yang was backing up and distractedly answered her, "Due to the market supply and demand, so many people at the airport couldn't get on their flights and were stranded in Linjiang. Now that rooms nearby have suddenly become popular, the shops are raising their prices. This is normal."

Qi Yu was very depressed, leaning her head against the car window, frowning. She planned to return to the city center first and make plans later, confident that she would be able to find a hotel at an affordable price.

It took Chen Yang 40 to 50 minutes to get back to the main city, which takes half an hour. It was the last working day before the Spring Festival, and the traffic outside was extremely congested. Qi Yu hadn't figured out where to get off the car, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove directly into the underground parking lot of the Mu Group.

Qi Yu got off the car and prepared to leave with her luggage. She turned around and looked around, trying to figure out where the emergency exit was.

Chen Yang got out of the car and was about to give Qi Yu directions when she suddenly looked behind her and saw President Mu's tall figure striding towards them, followed by a company executive.

"Mr. Mu."

Mu Chenan unexpectedly saw two people standing at the rear of the car. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost noon. Chen Yang had wasted most of the day trying to send Qi Yu off, and regretted that he had not been able to see her off.

He originally wanted to bring a random executive to the dinner, but now that Chen Yang is back, he has to bring him along.

As for Qi Yu...

Mu Chenan walked over to her side and turned his head to observe her. Fortunately, she was in a low mood and looked sleepy. He thought to himself that she shouldn't cause any trouble today.

"Qi Yu, come with me to dinner. After dinner, I'll have someone take you back to the villa."

Qi Yu suddenly raised his head, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally squeezed out a word "no" from between his lips.

"Be good, I'm very busy today and don't have time to take care of you."

After yesterday's incident, she no longer had the courage to disobey the arrogant and unruly man in front of her. Moreover, she was very sleepy and didn't have much energy to think about the problem, so she finally chose to obey.

……

The dinner was arranged at a Chinese restaurant, and the waiter warmly welcomed the group to the reserved private room.

There were two beautiful and capable women sitting in the box, perhaps the boss and his assistant.

Qi Yu stood at the back and looked inside from a distance.

I quickly recognized the woman wearing a beige knitted tight dress and a Chanel platinum brooch on her chest as Ling Qiao. They had dinner at the same table last year.

Ling Qiao and her assistant both put on exquisite makeup. When she first saw Mu Chenan, she greeted him with a smile, but then she found that Mu Chenan was followed by three people.

There were two men and one woman. She knew Assistant Chen. The other man in a suit should be a senior executive of Mu Group. As for the one at the back, she stretched her slender neck to look carefully, waiting for Mu Chenan to introduce him to her, but he had no intention of doing so. He raised his hand and gestured for everyone to take a seat.

Qi Yu came out from behind the crowd, a smile on her lips, and greeted Ling Qiao.

"Hello, Mr. Ling, I'm Qi Yu, do you remember me?"

Ling Qiao had some impression of this face. She seemed to have seen it at the recording site of a dating variety show. Now when she heard her introduce herself as Qi Yu, she finally remembered that this was Mu Chenan's sister.

He naturally breathed a sigh of relief. The explanation for Muchan's abnormal behavior at the recording site that day was revealed. It turned out that he had met his sister.

Recording a dating show behind her brother's back, no wonder he said Qi Yu was his enemy.

Ling Qiao responded gracefully: "Hello, Qi Yu, please take a seat."

This was a serious dinner party. Ling Qiao came to Linjiang specifically to confirm the cooperation matters after the new year with Muchenan. Both parties spoke seriously and rigorously, but the conversation was very pleasant.

Qi Yu picked up the rice with chopsticks. She happened to have no appetite, and there was no dish on the table that went well with the rice. Mu Chenan was not as good at eating spicy food as Mu Yanqing. His diet had always been light, so there was no trace of red chili peppers on the table today.

She put down her chopsticks in disappointment, and when she saw the video of North City Blizzard sent to her by Xiang Wei, she typed a resentful reply.

Qi Yu: [Weiwei, I'm so unlucky. I really can't come back this time.]

Qi Yu: [Maybe I'll have to stay in Linjiang for the New Year.]

……

Xiang Wei: [Safety is the most important thing. I'll wait for you to come home. By the way, have you finished everything you needed to do?]

No.

It was a mess.

Now she appeared at a business dinner for no apparent reason, and she felt very uneasy.

Qi Yu: [Well, I already know why the production team removed Jiang Yuhuai and me.]

Xiang Wei: [Why?]

Qi Yu edited a long paragraph to explain the cause and effect of the matter.

After knowing the truth, Xiang Wei was extremely emotional and sent a voice message.

Qi Yu quietly converted the voice into text.

Xiang Wei: "Jiang Yuhuai is really something. It was clearly his own problem, but he came to my house that day and made a scene as if he was here to blame me. He even thought that you were the one who got into trouble. It made me so angry. You are the one who was really implicated."

Qi Yu: [Alas.]
