Chapter 13: Home Stolen

“Let’s pray first.”

“Okay.”

The chat was just right,

Shen Muyan hung up the phone first and went upstairs to have lunch.

After half an hour, Lu Lin arrived at Yinwan in his car and handed the package to the manager.

It has to be said that Qin Xian’s efficiency in handling things was always top-notch. It was great to have such an assistant.

The recruitment notice was posted everywhere, and hundreds of resumes were submitted. After screening out those who didn’t meet the basic requirements, there were still many left.

They only needed to recruit a casual assistant to work with Anna, but the current employment pressure was indeed quite high, and many talented people had to rack their brains to get an offer.

There was only half an hour left, and there were no companies left to interview.

She used her own time, and it was always better to do things herself, so she couldn’t completely hand it over to the personnel department.

“Anna, afternoon tea, someone’s here for an interview.”

“Okay, sister.” While answering the phone, Anna sent the resumes that Shen Muyan had preliminarily selected to the corresponding department.

The night was like thick ink, with stars scattered like jewels, shining brightly.

It was already past ten o’clock.

Qin Yanzhou was dealing with the eastern oil project documents. During a break, he personally brewed a cup of silver needle tea at the tea table. He accidentally saw Shen Muyan posting a status update.

“Off work…”

Paired with a photo of her with slightly messy hair, which added to her pure beauty.

She wasn’t wearing makeup, but her tender face was flawless, bathed in the sun, with a halo around her.

Beauty is so simple.

Qin Yanzhou closed the page after a few seconds. Maybe he should stay in the east for a while. In Shanghai, he would always be attracted by her affairs, losing his focus.

Half of the interviews were over, but Shen Muyan hadn’t arrived yet.

Just when everyone was losing hope, they suddenly saw someone who was slightly stunning and friendly.

She was the same age and looked similar, but she was two grades higher. She was dressed in a professional outfit, which was considered mature, but she also had a youthful and optimistic vibe, reflecting the characteristics of the times.

She didn’t have the qualifications of the other interviewees, but her projects during her studies were quite substantial. Seeing her ability was not bad, Shen Muyan couldn’t determine her temperament for the time being, so she planned to contact her tutor after the interview to ask.

She happened to know Professor Meyer.

In the afternoon, when Shen Muyan came back from her break, there was a pile of documents that needed her signature.

At this moment, she especially wanted to drag the Norwegian brother back and scold him.

“Twins, why are you so lazy when you’re only half an hour apart?”

“Sister, are you fully booked with interviews today? The personnel department is eager to give them an answer.” Anna asked tentatively as she came to deliver the documents.

“What do you think of Yu?”

Shen Muyan had asked Professor Meyer today, and Yu was quick-witted, serious, and actually had strong work ability. If she was willing to work so hard, it wouldn’t be a bad choice.

“Too young, too steady.” Anna shook her head, preferring someone more practical.

“Anna, I’ve decided.” Shen Muyan raised her eyebrows slightly without looking up. After signing her name neatly, she handed the document to Anna.

“She’s just like you, lacking a platform, but she has the ability. In this circle of qualifications, I’ve decided to give her a chance.”

Anna couldn’t refute, and she dared not refute. Whatever Shen Xian said, she would listen to her.

“Okay, I’ll inform her.”

The bidding for the No. 1 leather project was also progressing step by step, and Shen Muyan was busy again. When she saw Shen Yu’s moments，she was annoyed.

It was two in the morning in Norway, and Shen Yu was just right. She directly made a phone call.

Every time the other party just picked up, she immediately hung up.

Pure torture.

“Please let my brother go, okay?”

“Please.”

“I promise that after I chase her, I’ll take over the Shanghai company and let you travel around the world.”

Shen Yu sent a few messages before coaxing the ancestor, then dared to pull her sister, but then she was left alone by the whole family.

She had experienced it before. When she quarreled with Shen Muyan, she couldn’t even enter the house. In the end, she had to climb over the wall.

——

The next week, Yu officially joined the company. She was full of energy and enthusiasm. Perhaps she hadn’t experienced the harsh realities of society yet, so she was optimistic and positive.

As soon as Shen Muyan arrived at the company, she saw Yu waiting at the door of her office, so she called her in.

She assigned a relatively simple task: to contact Rong Family and discuss some details of the cooperation.

Rong Family had once again taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, targeting the integrated tourism project with the inland region.

“Ning Qing, go with her and first make a summary of the situation.”

“Okay.” Ning Qing just nodded and turned to leave, not even leaving a glance for Yu.

As soon as they left the door, Yu quickened her pace and followed, her voice extremely cheerful: “Sister Ning Qing, you’re so cool.”

“Sister?” Ning Qing had never heard such an address before. What kind of strange assistant was this?

“Just call me Ning Qing from now on.” Yan replied.

“This respect…” Yu’s handsome face was full of admiration. He was actually taller than Ning Qing, but he was always suppressed by Ning Qing’s aura.

Ning Qing ignored him.

Afternoon tea, at a certain style teahouse.

Her grandfather loved drinking tea and writing books, so Shen Muyan had been exposed to it since she was young. Her tea-making skills were quite good.

Most people in this circle preferred coffee shops, but they enjoyed life more, appreciated the rhythm, and loved the elegant atmosphere and the refinement of their cultivation.

“Your tea-making skills are much better than the tea masters in the teahouse.” Rong Jinyan met Shen Muyan formally for the first time. He was dressed in a suit, a gentleman with a gentle demeanor, trying his best to leave a good impression on her.

“Thank you for the compliment.” Shen Muyan smiled sweetly, her manners perfectly controlled.

She felt that Rong Jinyan wasn’t as insidious as Qin Xian had said, but it was always better to be cautious.

Compared to him, she trusted Qin Xian more.

At that moment, in a certain high-level suite in the Persian Gulf region, a man wearing a bathrobe was sitting on a genuine leather sofa, drinking wine. He had just come out of the shower, his hair still damp.

Drops of water flowed down his collarbone towards the outline of his chest, disappearing into the bathrobe.

The glass display case on the phone rang.

Qin Yanzhou was inexplicably irritable today. He frowned, finished his glass of red wine, and then answered the phone.

He was about to scold the person who called, but the other party spoke first.

“Qin Xian, Rong is trying to sign a contract with Shen for the No. 1 leather project.”

“Heh, Rong Jinyan is quite good at using this trick of taking advantage of loopholes.”
