Ex-wife is bad
Chapter 362 The First Defeat
Wu Tong hurriedly followed behind his boss.I have been with Mu Xuncheng for so many years, and the last time I saw him so nervous was a few years ago.
Although Mu Xuncheng is usually unsmiling and always has a poker face in front of his subordinates, but in Wu Tong's heart, Mu Xuncheng has always been overwhelmed by Mount Tai and does not change color.
Of course, there was only one thing that would make him lose his composure, and that was Lengqingxi.
Yes, for so many years, Wu Tong has been deeply aware of this by following Mu Xuncheng's side.
Whether it was before or now, as long as there is anything related to Lengqingxi, Mu Xuncheng will lose his calm and judgement.
In this bidding meeting, the Mu family spent so much thought and so much effort to almost succeed, but at the last juncture, Mu Xuncheng suddenly announced the withdrawal of the bid and withdrew.
Although Mu Xuncheng didn't explain the reason, Wu Tong knew very well that this incident must have something to do with Leng Qingxi, otherwise the boss wouldn't have rushed to the hospital regardless of anything.
Mu Xuncheng sat in the car with a livid face, and doubled it in his pocket, only to remember that he had broken the phone in the hotel.
"Give me your mobile phone." Mu Xuncheng stretched out his hand and said to Wu Tong.
"Ah?" Wu Tong was stunned for a moment, then took out his mobile phone, put it in Mu Xuncheng's hands, and asked inquiringly, "Boss?"
"I accidentally broke my phone just now." Mu Xuncheng said casually.
Was it really accidentally broken? Wu Tong asked secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.
Mu Xuncheng took Wu Tong's cell phone, and pressed the number that he knew by heart.
This time it went smoothly unexpectedly, and the call was connected quickly.
Leng Qingxi's voice came from the phone: "It's Assistant Wu? What happened?" Leng Qingxi thought it was Wu Tong's call, and was a little strange.
"It's me." Mu Xuncheng replied.
"Muxuncheng, why do you use Wu Tong's phone?" Leng Qingxi asked rather strangely: "Did something happen?"
"No, where are you?" Mu Xuncheng forcibly suppressed his emotions and asked calmly.
"I? In the hospital." Leng Qingxi didn't understand why Mu Xuncheng would ask such a question.
"Hospital? That's good. I'll come to see you right now. You wait for me." Mu Xuncheng heaved a sigh of relief, and let go of his clenched hands.
"What's the matter? What happened? Isn't today the bid opening day?" Leng Qingxi keenly sensed that Mu Xuncheng seemed to be hiding something from him, and couldn't help asking.
"It's nothing, let's talk about it when we meet. My phone accidentally broke. If there's anything wrong, just call Wu Tong. I'll be right there." Mu Xuncheng told him worriedly.
"Oh, okay, then you should be careful." Leng Qingxi didn't know what happened in Mu Xun City, but she didn't ask, but hung up the phone full of doubts.
After a while, Mu Xuncheng's car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
Wu Tong followed behind Mu Xuncheng, and hurried to the door of Lengqingxi's ward.A few bodyguards were standing at the door dutifully, and when they saw Mu Xuncheng coming, they surrounded him strangely: "Boss."
Mu Xuncheng looked around and asked, "What's the matter?"
"No, boss, we have been guarding here, nothing happened." The head bodyguard replied.
"Where is the young lady?"
"Young Mistress just went for a check-up. She just came back and is resting."
"Why did no one answer the call just now?" Mu Xuncheng asked sternly.
Several bodyguards looked at each other.
After a while, the leader said submissively: "Boss, I don't know what went wrong just now. The phone signal in the whole hospital is not very good. We didn't receive a call from the boss."
"Oh? The whole hospital?" Mu Xuncheng narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Yes, it seems that there is some interference. Not only us, but even the doctors and nurses in the hospital can't make calls."
"So that's the case." Mu Xuncheng nodded, no wonder he couldn't get through to his subordinates, and couldn't get through to the doctors in the hospital.
"You guys take good care of it." Mu Xuncheng didn't say anything more, and waved his opponent's subordinates, telling them to return to their positions.
Mu Xuncheng gently opened the door, and Leng Qingxi was leaning on the bedside reading a book.
In fact, she didn't look into it at all. After answering the call from Mu Xuncheng just now, her heart was in a mess. She didn't know what happened to Mu Xuncheng.
Although Mu Xuncheng's tone is calm, but Leng Qingxi has lived with Mu Xuncheng for so long, she can tell from Mu Xuncheng's plain tone that Mu Xuncheng must have something to hide from herself.
Today is the most critical moment for Mu's and Ling's bidding. It stands to reason that Mu Xuncheng should be at the bidding venue at this time, but he rushed back, something must have happened.
Leng Qingxi felt that her heart was hanging in the air all the time, she randomly picked up a book beside the bed, but didn't read it at all.
When she was flustered, Mu Xuncheng opened the door and walked in.
Seeing Mu Xun City, Leng Qingxi quickly dropped the book in his hand, sat up, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Xuncheng walked up to Leng Qingxi and sat down, looked up and down several times, as if to confirm whether Leng Qingxi was really unscathed.Until Leng Qingxi asked again.
He just came back to his senses, looked at Leng Qingxi, and shook his head.
"There must be something wrong, right?" Leng Qingxi asked resolutely.
Mu Xuncheng didn't answer her words, but picked up Leng Qingxi's arm and took a look. Sure enough, her arm was empty, and the bracelet was gone.
"Where's your bracelet?" Mu Xuncheng asked abruptly.
"Bracelet?" Leng Qingxi repeated: "Bracelet, oh, yes, why is my bracelet missing!"
Only then did Leng Qingxi realize that a bracelet she was wearing was missing.
"It must have been lost during the inspection just now." Leng Qingxi said anxiously: "Xiaomei, Xiaomei, have you seen my bracelet?" Leng Qingxi called out, but no one agreed.
But Mu Xuncheng suddenly understood something: "Forget it, stop shouting, if I guessed correctly, we will definitely not be able to find this little beauty."
"How could it be? She just sent me back." Leng Qingxi didn't understand why Mu Xuncheng said that.
"Hmph, I'm afraid she would have escaped by now." With a pale face, Mu Xuncheng called Wu Tong, and Wu Tong walked in in response.
"Boss, what are your orders?"
"Take a few people and find Xiaomei, the maid who takes care of Qingxi, and see if she is still in the hospital." Mu Xuncheng ordered.
"Okay boss." Although Wu Tong had doubts on his face, he nodded and retreated.
"What happened? Isn't today a bidding conference? Why did you come back because you weren't at the venue? Also, what happened to Xiaomei? Are you hiding something from me?"
Lengqingxi asked a series of questions.
Mu Xuncheng sighed and said, "We don't want that project."
"What?" Leng Qingxi exclaimed, wanting to sit up.
"Don't move, don't move, I don't want to tell you because I'm afraid you will get excited." Mu Xuncheng pressed Leng Qingxi's shoulder to prevent her from moving.
"But, why exactly?" Leng Qingxi became anxious, she looked at Mu Xuncheng, and asked eagerly: "How can you give up? Didn't you say that everything has been settled? What went wrong? Is it the Ling family again?"
"Hey..." Mu Xuncheng looked at Leng Qingxi, not knowing where to start.
The two were struggling, Wu Tong walked in: "Boss, I've searched all over, but I haven't seen Xiaomei."
"I expected this to be the case. All right, you go out first. Send someone immediately to try to find this person."
"Okay boss, but the old man called and asked about today's affairs, what do you think I should say?" Wu Tong said cautiously.Just now, Mr. Mu called to ask the teacher about the crime, and he just scolded Wu Tong.
"If he messes around, do you just let him mess around? This matter is so big, how can he be so capricious?"
In order to facilitate this project, the two old people from the Mu family have been running around a lot. Now that Mu Xun City has been handed over to Ling's without a word, how can the two old people not be angry.
But until now, Wu Tong only knew that this matter must be related to Lengqingxi, but he couldn't tell what it was related to.
He could only falter and say: "I'm sorry, old man, the boss ordered me to do this, and you know the boss' temper."
"Are you an idiot then? Can't you call me first? What an asshole!"
Mr. Mu rarely loses his temper with his subordinates on weekdays, especially Wu Tong, who has always been a young man he admires, otherwise he could not have been arranged to assist Mu Xuncheng all the time, but today he was really beaten by Mu Xuncheng. The city spirit is not light.
"I'm sorry, old man, it's my fault, my fault." Wu Tong could only nod his head and endure the mistake.
"Why can't I get through to him on the phone? Now people all over the world are looking for him again. Where is he? He will hide. Since he has the courage to do it, what is he hiding now?"
"The boss's cell phone broke, and he can't answer the call now, look."
"Excuse me, tell him to call me back immediately, or you won't go back to our Mu's house, hum!" Old Man Mu said, and hung up the phone angrily.
Wu Tong hesitated at the door for a long time, but decided to speak to Mu Xuncheng.
The boss and the old man are both his own food and clothing parents, so he can't afford to offend anyone.
Now it seems that the boss should be in a better mood than the old man. If he doesn't bring his words to him, maybe the old man will quit him in a while.
Mu Xuncheng frowned after hearing Wu Tong's words.
It happened so suddenly, he really didn't think too much about it. At that time, his mind was full of worries about Leng Qingxi's comfort, so he didn't think of it.
He said to Wu Tong: "You call the old man back and tell him that I have something to do now. I will definitely give him an explanation when I go back tonight."
"But, this..." Wu Tong looked embarrassed. If he told the old man like this, he would inevitably be scolded again.
"Go, don't worry, I will explain to him." Mu Xuncheng waved to Wu Tong and let him go out.
Wu Tong reluctantly withdrew, and the husband and wife were the only ones left in the room.
Although Mu Xuncheng is usually unsmiling and always has a poker face in front of his subordinates, but in Wu Tong's heart, Mu Xuncheng has always been overwhelmed by Mount Tai and does not change color.
Of course, there was only one thing that would make him lose his composure, and that was Lengqingxi.
