After the project report, the improvement and rectification of the tense problems needs to be further sorted out according to the new requirements put forward by Jinghua.

Life is as usual, busy. On occasional days when I get off work early, I will drive home to accompany my son and grandma. Most of the time, I get off work in the middle of the night and go to work early in the morning.

Shi Yan didn't have any expectations for Mu Qing's return.

Shi Yan was reviewing another project's bid when he received an internal call from the chairman asking him to come to the office.

Putting down what he was doing, he went outside the chairman's office. After getting permission, he opened the door and went in. He saw that Ren Fang and the bosses of several other departments were also there.

Shi Yan walked over.

Mu Chunhao pointed to the chair opposite, and said, "It will take a long time, sit down and talk."

After Mu Chunhao was driven out of Jinghua by the Xin family, he quickly founded Harvest Technology with his own money. With his few contacts and resources, after five years of hard work, he finally managed to create his own sky. However, After all, it is a businessman's road, so it is impossible not to run into Jinghua, not to mention the inextricable relationship between the two.

When Shi Yan was looking for a job three years ago, he personally interviewed him. After being recruited into Harvest, as he promised, he has always been given the highest treatment and support.

Shi Yan didn't really believe in his ability at first, but after several years of working together, he found that after experiencing a series of things, he has matured a lot, and his actions are not as frivolous as he usually shows.

"It's like this," Mu Chunhao lit a cigarette, and Ren Fang, who was sitting next to him, pouted in disgust and moved to the side, "Just now I received a notice from Jinghua asking us to send a project representative to They are stationed at the headquarters to follow up the project. The other party appoints you, Shi Yan."

Shi Yan frowned and asked, "Do you only ask our family to send someone there?"

"I just contacted Hongsheng and Xinye, and they will also send people there."

"How long will it take? I have dozens of new cases waiting to be approved, so I don't have time to follow up."

"The tone of the other party is very tough. I have already sent an email to ask if I can change the designated representative, but I was rejected. I have to follow up to the end of the project. Judging from the current progress of this case, it will take at least two years."

Shi Yan lowered his eyelids and remained silent. Now is the rising period of his career. It is definitely not a good thing to be transferred at such a critical moment. Whether he can gain a foothold in the company after returning in the future is unknown. .

Mu Chunhao also scratched his hair in annoyance, and took two puffs of cigarettes, "There is no way, Shi Yan, when you come back after this project is delivered, I will give you the position of vice president of the company. At the same time, other board members of the company will not have an opinion."

Shi Yan was not tempted by this castle-like promise.

After a while, Shi Yan said: "Who is the person in charge of the other party? I want to go over there to discuss it in person. There is absolutely no need for a presence in this project."

Mu Chunhao knocked on the desktop, signaling Ren Fang and the others to leave first, and when only the two of them were left in the office, Mu Chunhao turned on his phone and brought up the page for Shi Yan to see, "Mu Qing, who I asked privately, is He personally issued the notice. You also know that my relationship with him is incompatible."

Mu Qing's reply on the WeChat page was very simple, "Stop talking nonsense with me, Harvest wants to hang out in Binhai, so hurry up and send someone over to me. If you don't see anyone within three days, Jinghua will withdraw its capital from Harvest."

As one of the company's veterans, Shi Yan is well aware of Harvest's situation, and most of the investment was obtained through Jinghua.

"Actually, there is another extreme solution. You resign from Harvest," Mu Chunhao shrugged. "In this way, he will have nothing to do with me. At most, he will bite me like a mad dog."

Shi Yan opened his mouth to speak.

Mu Chunhao changed his tone and said with a smile: "But don't think about it, I can't give up such a big gold mine to others. I know, many headhunting companies are looking for you, right?"

Shi Yan was silent.

Mu Chunhao smiled and didn't ask too much, "Shi Yan, the future is still long, only two years, and you can learn a lot by going to Jinghua, a large international group like this. You know, my Ambition does not mean Harvest curled up in a small place like Binhai.”

Shi Yan rubbed her temples with a headache, "Okay. I will hand over the matter at hand as soon as possible."

"You don't need to hand over, I ask you to have a separate office over there, just like working here, video, phone calls, meetings, now that communication is so developed, it doesn't matter where you are."

"Are you going to squeeze me dry?" Shi Yan roared angrily, going to Jinghua, the pressure over there is different from that in Harvest.

Mu Chunhao raised his hands in surrender, "Ren Fang, I will let Ren Fang assist you. Are you afraid that you will not be able to make it work if you join forces?"

"What an inhuman encounter!" Shi Yan stood up and complained, then turned and left.

"Shi Yan!" Mu Chunhao suddenly stopped him, Shi Yan stopped and looked back at him, Mu Chunhao coughed uncomfortably, and said, "We are also friends, right?"

Shi Yan looked at him with disgust, reluctantly said: "Forget it."

It can be considered that we don't know each other, with this person.

Mu Chunhao scratched his head, and continued: "Well, it's about my nephew, Mu Mu. You also know that I haven't mentioned it to Mu Qing. But Mu Qing asked you to go there this time. The purpose is very clear. What do you think? of?"

Shi's face was expressionless and he said: "It's hard to get over the water!"

After speaking, he slammed the office door and left.

Mu Chunhao stuck out his tongue, "Little bastard, little bastard, just ask for blessings. Your brother and I are not a generous person, so don't blame me for being on the sidelines. Haha!"

Thinking of Mu Qing's expression after knowing the truth in the future, Mu Chunhao laughed out loud.

It is basically impossible to do a good job handover within three days. Shi Yan only picked some of the most urgent and important things to hand over, and the rest will be dealt with after Jinghua settles down.

The representatives of the three companies each have an office, but the difference in treatment is a bit obvious. The representatives of Hongsheng and Xinye are in the small office next to the washroom on the 28th floor of the headquarters building, and Shi Yan is next to the chairman's secretary office on the top floor. The spacious business suite is bright. Floor-to-ceiling windows, coffee bar, separate toilet and so on.

At the same time, out of work considerations, Jinghua provided a single apartment for the three of them.

This was somewhat beyond Shi Yan's expectations, but the next job might not be easy.

During the conversation with the engineers at Jinghua, I can clearly feel the pressure on them after the new chairman takes office, nothing more than speeding up the project progress to reduce investment risks as much as possible.

Fortunately, the single apartment rented in the outskirts was also a short-term rental, so Shi Yan directly returned the lease, called a pickup truck that day, and moved into the business apartment provided by Jinghua with a small amount of luggage.

It's just work. Shi Yan doesn't want to affect her work because of these trivial matters in life, and settles down as quickly as possible and devotes herself to work.

Shi Yan didn't ask too much about the office arrangement, it's just an old trick. The more you care about what the other party has done for you, the more you will fall into the trap set by the other party. It's better to take it lightly and see what the other party wants. What a trick.

Work, as expected at the beginning, is so busy that the sky is dark and the sky is dark. Every day is endless meetings, quarrels, strategies, and plan changes. Either the budget is not enough, or the funds are not in place.

I get up at six o'clock every morning and return to the apartment at eleven o'clock in the evening.

Unknowingly, the end of the year was approaching, and Shi Yan repeatedly confirmed the schedule, but she still couldn't get home on Christmas Day to spend the holiday with her son.

On his birthday, when he euphemistically told his son that he would only be able to go back to replenish him after the New Year’s holiday, the always sensible and well-behaved son couldn’t help being disappointed, and cried when he hung up the call.

Shi Yan put down the phone in discomfort, leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes to calm down. Tomorrow, she will be on a business trip to the next city, and the delivery results there are still waiting for him to check and accept. There is really no time to be distracted.

Taking a deep breath, he cheered up and looked at the computer screen again. It was already ten o'clock in the night, and he could only sleep after confirming the project proposal.

The cell phone next to it vibrated again, Shi Yan picked it up and looked, it was an overseas number, it was so late, who would call in?

Then he whispered, "Hi."

"...Happy birthday." There was a pause before saying in a hoarse voice.

Shi Yan immediately hung up the phone as if on fire and threw the phone aside, a surge of anger surged in her heart for no reason, and she disappeared for six years, and now she can still call to send her birthday wishes as if nothing had happened, it's really——! !

After a while, the phone screen lit up again, and it was the same number. Shi Yan put the phone on the desk and ignored it, focusing on reading the documents. .

Mu Qing has been overseas for a while, and he didn't come back until New Year's Day. I heard that he used to deal with the acquisition of the company he founded in the past few years. There were good news one after another from overseas, and Jinghua's stock price went up and down The market value has doubled in two months at the end of the year, approaching 5000 billion.

This is a terrifying size, and it has been able to keep pace with the Song Group, leaving Changhe behind.

Taking advantage of the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, Shi Yan went home to accompany Shi Mu and grandma, and gave him Christmas supplies.

His son is well-behaved and sensible. When Shiyan left to go back to the company apartment, he hugged him and told him: "Dad has lost a lot of weight, so he should pay attention to his diet and eat more delicious food. If he makes delicious food at home, Mumu will send it to you." dad."

"Yeah." Shi Yan put his arms around him and sat in the car, the two father and son were alone.

After a while, the son in his arms asked sullenly, "When will Dad come back next time?"

"It's almost the end of the year, and I'm too busy with work. I might only have time on Saturdays and Sundays. How about Mumu and Dad's video every day?"

Shi Yan kissed her son's cheek and said softly.

Shi Mu nodded, "Okay. There's nothing we can do about it. It's too hard for Dad to support our family alone. Mu Mu has to grow up quickly and help Dad."

Shi Yan smiled and rubbed his hair, "Our Mu Mu is so obedient and sensible. Didn't you want to drive before? Dad taught you."

"Really? Dad isn't leaving?" Shi Mu looked up in surprise and asked.

Shi Yan kissed him, started the car, drove the car into an empty alley behind the house, let go of his hand, and said, "There are usually no cars here, try it, just like the children's car you usually drive, the steering wheel You master it, and the other dads come."

It's an automatic transmission, so I don't worry about accidents.

Shi Mu stood in his arms and happily lay on the steering wheel.

It was already late, and I didn't dare to let Shi Mu play for too long, so Shi Yan drove him to the door of his house and said goodbye to him.

Tomorrow is the project stage meeting, so I have to get up early to prepare, so I have to rush back to the apartment tonight, otherwise I may be late, and tomorrow is the first day of work on the New Year's Day holiday, so there will definitely be a traffic jam.

However, even though it was eleven o'clock in the middle of the night on the last night of the New Year's Day holiday, Shi Yan was blocked for more than half an hour before returning to the apartment.

When I got home, I took a quick shower and went to bed.

I was so tired that I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

The next day I was woken up by the alarm clock, my body was abnormally heavy, and when I sat up, I found that my nose was also stuffed, bad, it seemed like I had a cold.

Really!

While secretly complaining about the recent weather, he washed his head and feet lightly. After finishing, he found the cold medicine in the bedside table, stuffed two pills and swallowed them.

Hope it works.

Every time I catch a cold, I have to toss back and forth for a week, and taking medicine is useless.

After taking the medicine, I put on my overcoat, took my briefcase, and opened the door. It was only seven o'clock, and I had more than enough time to prepare now.

The electronic lock on the door made a beeping sound, Shi Yan turned around, and the door of the opposite apartment was also pushed open at this time, Mu Qing was wearing a tracksuit and came out carrying a bag of garbage.

Shi Yan's heart skipped a beat, she secretly lived here for almost a month, and thought that there was no one living across the street, who knew——

"Mu Dongzao." After the respectful greeting, Shi Yan raised his head and was about to leave. Mu Qing walked together to the elevator and said hello, "Wake up so early?"

"Hmm. Mr. Mu is going to exercise in the morning?"

"Yeah, I sat on the plane for more than ten hours yesterday, so I have to run anyway today, otherwise my whole body will be stiff."

Mu Qing was as familiar as before, walking into the elevator with Shi Yan casually and naturally.

"Ah."

After walking into the elevator and pressing the first floor, Shi Yan didn't speak again.

Mu Qing glanced at him quietly with his hands in his pockets, brought up the topic again, and asked, "Do you go to work so early every day?"

"Ah."

"Busy at work?"

I'm so busy!

Shi Yan replied angrily in her heart, it wasn't you who made it.

But on the surface, he still heard the wind and didn't move, snorted, "Yeah."

"..." Mu Qing frowned and bowed her head, without saying anything else.

The elevator reached the first floor with a ding, and Shi Yan reminded the dazed man next to him, "Mu Dong, we're here."

"Huh? Oh."

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment before quickly walking out of the elevator, Shi Yan tidied up her suit and overcoat, and once again put on an impeccable professional smile on her face.

"Mr. Mu, you exercise, I'm leaving first."

Mu Qing stopped and looked at Shi Yan with a strange look, and said, "We are also friends. Let's call each other by name, Shi Yan."

"Don't dare to climb high, Mr. Mu." When Shi Yan heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious and comfortable, and he bowed his head slightly and said again: "You are busy, I will go first."

After speaking, without waiting for Mu Qing to say anything else, he straightened up and walked towards the gate, leaving Mu Qing alone on the spot, his face turning red and then pale.

I was not feeling well, and Yan kept trying to cope with it throughout the meeting.

At noon, the body temperature was getting higher and higher, and Shi Yan had to take half a day off to go back to the apartment to rest. If she collapsed at the company at this time, it would cause trouble for others.

I didn't eat lunch, and after returning home and taking antipyretics, I covered myself with a quilt and fell asleep.

I am used to such a body, and my immunity is weakened. No matter how careful I am, I cannot avoid catching a cold, fever, or stomach upset.

Dizzy, I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep, I was woken up by the doorbell, I was forced to get out of bed, my head was spinning, my whole body was weak, but the doorbell didn’t stop, I don’t know who it is, what time is it now?There is no one I know here, who will come to visit?

Leaning on the wall, walk to the foyer and open the door.

He didn't see the person standing at the door clearly, and leaned against the door weakly, "Hello, may I ask—yes, what's the matter?"

His whole body was hot, and his clothes were drenched with sweat.

Shi Yan didn't know if she didn't support herself, she seemed to be hugged in a daze.

Is a strange familiar embrace.

Very nostalgic.

In a daze, I couldn't bear the crazy thoughts in my heart anymore, and murmured: "Mu Qing, are you back? Are you back?"

I don't know if it's because I'm delirious due to illness or what, but I heard the answer, "I'm back, Yanyan."

My heart immediately sweetened, and I smiled, "That's great. My Mu Qing is back."

Later, he rambled on and said something, but he couldn't remember anymore, his body was tossing and turning in the double sky of ice and fire, and he couldn't wake up no matter what.

When I opened my eyes again, what I saw was the pale ceiling of the hospital, and it was raining outside the window. The winter rain was mixed with a cold chill.

Ren Fang came out of the bathroom with the vase that had just been replaced with water, and was relieved to see Shi Yan's dazed and dazed look, "You've woken up, my God, you've been in a coma for three days."

so long?

"I remember I was lying in Jinghua's apartment, who sent me to the hospital?"

Ren Fang helped him raise the bed and asked, "How do you feel? I'll call the doctor for you."

After pressing the bedside pager, Ren Fang sat down and peeled an apple for him, and said, "I don't know, the people from Jinghua contacted me. When I arrived, no one was there."

After the doctor came for an examination, he said that it was caused by excessive fatigue some time ago, and asked him to pay attention to rest and balanced nutrition, and he needed to be hospitalized for two days for observation.

Shi Yan hurriedly found her mobile phone to contact her home, but she hadn't contacted her son or grandma for three days, so she didn't know how anxious it would be.

Ren Fang helped him cut up the apples and put them aside, then handed him the phone, "Don't worry, I called for you and said that you can't use your phone for the time being on a business trip."

"Thank you." Shi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and dialed Mu Mu's voice call. It's noon now, and the lunch over there should not be over yet.

Sure enough, after the phone was picked up, there was Mu Mu's milky voice, and the sounds of children playing beside her.

"Dad, have you come back from a business trip?"

"Yes. Dad just came back. Is Mu Mu good at home these days?"

"Yeah, I learned how to make biscuits from my grandma. When Dad comes back, Mumu will make bear biscuits for Dad to eat."

"Okay. Dad is a little busy these two days, so he will go home to accompany Mu Mu and grandma after two days."

"Okay, Dad, when you go out, take care of your body, eat delicious food, and don't fall ill. If you fall ill, call Mu Mu. Mu Mu is a man and can take care of Dad."

"Okay, eat obediently, little Mumu, dad will call you in two days."

Hang up the phone after speaking.

Ren Fang looked at him with pity, "If I had such an obedient child, I wouldn't want to be separated from him for a moment. Look how sensible Mu Mu is."

Shi Yan sighed, "No way."

Although grandma's uremia is cured, she still needs to take immune drugs for life. Old man Zheng's health has not been as good as before in the past two years. Mu Mu is still so young, and he is the only support in the family. Even if he can't bear it, he has to harden his heart.

Recently, Shi Yan has become more and more understanding of his dead father, his hard work, silence and sternness.

All tenderness has long been worn away by the burden of life.

I just hope that I won't let Mu Mu have an unhappy childhood like myself in the future.

"You don't need to worry about the company's affairs. Mr. Mu has arrangements. If you really can't hold on to Jinghua, you can ask for an assistant to go there."

Ren Fang picked up the handbag and said to him: "You have a good rest, I am going on a business trip in the afternoon, and you will come to see you tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you." Shi Yan nodded, suddenly remembered that the phone was not with her, and opened her mouth to ask her to help her get it to the apartment, but Ren Fang was quick-legged, and within a moment of delay, she had already closed the door of the ward and left.

Only now did Shi Yan have the leisure to check the ward.

Obviously, this is a very expensive VIP ward, and I don't know who arranged it.

When the nurse came to check the ward, Shi Yan asked whose account was charged by the hospital, and was told that it was Jinghua's public account.

It seems that someone from Jinghua should have sent him to the hospital, but I don't know who it is, and if there is a chance, I must thank him in person.
