Soon, Mu Yinyin finished reading the contract.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she put down the contract, looking at the man. "The issue of the ratio..."
Before she could finish, Lu Sinian directly interrupted her, "Do we really need to discuss this issue carefully?"
Mu Yinyin was speechless.
She suddenly fell silent.
Lu Sinian chuckled lightly, took the contract, signed his name, and handed it back to Mu Yinyin. "Your turn."
Mu Yinyin pursed her lips and, ultimately saying nothing, took the contract and signed her name.
The smile on Lu Sinian's lips deepened. "It's my honor to collaborate with my goddess."
"The male god is quite the jokester," Mu Yinyin said casually.
Lu Sinian couldn't help but laugh, looking at the person in front of him. "Shall we rest here for a moment before going to work?"
Mu Yinyin shook her head. "No, there are still some matters at the company. Since the cooperation has been established, I should start planning. The date for the national competition is also approaching."
Before all cooperation could be finalized, the next steps could only be taken after participating in the national competition.
The designs during the national competition might not be very important, and they might not even be used later. What they wanted was not the competition entries themselves, but the prestige of winning the championship.
Lu Sinian raised an eyebrow and said carelessly, "I believe in you."
His tone was relaxed and casual.
It was trust in an ally.
Mu Yinyin twitched her lips and stood up. "Then, I'll see you next time."
As she spoke, she extended her hand, a gesture of cooperation and a handshake.
The moment their fingertips touched, Lu Sinian said with a light smile, "What should I do? The moment I hold your hand, I don't want to let go."
Mu Yinyin tugged at her lips. As she withdrew her hand, she chuckled and replied, "Perhaps Mr. Lu doesn't know much about me."
"With time, one will come to know little by little," Lu Sinian said, unfazed.
Mu Yinyin smiled and continued, "Then perhaps Mr. Lu doesn't know one thing."
The two stood facing each other, yet it seemed neither knew the other's true thoughts.
As Lu Sinian gazed at her with a smile, Mu Yinyin casually said, "When you came to find me earlier, you should have seen that I was talking to my ex-husband."
I was talking to my ex-husband.
She enunciated these words very clearly and didn't lower her voice, making it explicit to this man that she was a divorced woman.
Regardless of whether Lu Sinian genuinely had romantic intentions or was seeking a partnership for business interests, Mu Yinyin had no intention of getting involved with him.
However...
To Mu Yinyin's surprise, Lu Sinian's expression remained unchanged. A faint smile played on his lips as he said, "An ex-husband who only had a marriage certificate but hadn't shared a bed for three years?"
Mu Yinyin's eyes narrowed slightly.
She and Fu Siye had a private marriage, yet Lu Sinian knew the details so clearly.
However, in the next moment, she twitched her lips. Even if it was a private marriage, she still had to visit the old house frequently. Lu Sinian was a business partner of Fu Siye, so he would naturally pay more attention to Fu Siye, thus learning about her from him.
It should be quite normal.
Mu Yinyin twitched her lips. "It seems Mr. Lu knows quite a bit. See you next time."
After saying that, she picked up one of the contracts and walked out.
She didn't intend to say anything more.
Lu Sinian also said nothing. His previous words seemed like a joke, or perhaps a hint that there was plenty of time for them to get to know each other.
After they went outside, Lu Sinian spoke a few more words to her, and then they parted ways.
This time, they did not encounter Fu Siye and Nan Shiqing, because...
They had left much earlier.
They hadn't even eaten properly.
In the afternoon.
Mu Yinyin returned to her company to retrieve some documents, and then headed to Fu's.
Upon entering, she addressed the receptionist. "Hello, I'm from Fanxing. I have a cooperation to discuss with Mr. Fu."
The receptionist looked at Mu Yinyin for a moment and then smiled. "Do you have an appointment?"
Mu Yinyin replied softly, "Please inform him now."
The receptionist's eyes flickered, but she simply said softly, "Okay, I'll inform the higher-ups now. Please wait."
Soon, the receptionist made a call upstairs. Two minutes later, the receptionist's desk phone rang again.
She answered it, and after hearing what the person on the other end said, she replied, "Alright."
Then she hung up.
Mu Yinyin was still waiting when the receptionist smiled at her. "I'm sorry, madam, our Mr. Fu is not available."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Mu Yinyin's eyes. Was Fu Siye playing this game with her?
Fine.
She nodded faintly at the receptionist and directly dialed Fu Siye's number.
However, the call was hung up after one ring.
Mu Yinyin didn't react and continued to dial.
The receptionist looked at Mu Yinyin with some confusion. What was she doing...
Who was she calling?
She raised her phone three times, appearing to have dialed three times.
The other party seemed to have answered this time.
The receptionist kept staring in Mu Yinyin's direction, her eyes filled with curiosity.
This woman had excellent temperament and was beautiful. Although she hadn't seen her before, she could clearly sense that she was no ordinary person.
Immediately after, she heard Mu Yinyin's cold snort.
"Fu Siye, are you trying to vex me here? If you don't let me up now, I'll have no choice but to take action against her. You decide."
The receptionist's expression stiffened. What was going on?
Her tone with Mr. Fu... was so sharp!
"Is that so? Are you sure?" Mu Yinyin's voice remained extremely cold.
The receptionist frowned slightly. Was she just putting on an act here?
Afraid of losing face?
"I am currently downstairs at your company, Mr. Fu, near the reception area. Mr. Fu, do you think it would be more convenient for me to wait for you to finish your work, or for me to talk to you now?"
"Alright, it's good that Mr. Fu is sensible."
The receptionist could only hear Mu Yinyin speaking so freely, with a tone that completely disregarded Fu Siye. How impressive!
Just now, the receptionist thought she was finished.
But...
In just a minute, her desk phone rang again.
It was Mu Teng who called.
"Please let Ms. Mu, the lady who was just speaking to you, come up now. She can use Mr. Fu's private elevator."
Receptionist: "..."
She was stunned for a moment before regaining her senses and replying.
She hadn't expected at all that Mu Yinyin's call just now was actually to Mr. Fu!
This woman is so amazing! Who is she!
But as she was still in a daze, she noticed Mu Yinyin's gaze towards her. The receptionist dared not show any negligence or offense. She quickly replied, "You can go up now. You can use Mr. Fu's private elevator..."
She said this as if she hadn't fully recovered.
Mu Yinyin's lips curved slightly. "Thank you."
After saying that, she walked inside.
