Chapter 63: Unexpected Event
Ding Caiyan finished her makeup and received Mu Tianyang's admiring gaze, instantly feeling confident. Mu Tianyang took her arm, paid by card, and left the boutique. As soon as they got in the car, he received a call: "Director Zhou? Alright... I'll be right there."
Cai Yan inquired and stared at him.
He hung up the phone and gave her nose a tweak: "A minister is inviting me to dinner, I'll take you along to see the world!"
"Okay!" she replied hastily.
Mu Tianyang smiled faintly, started the car and gazed ahead with a cold glint in his eyes.
Upon arriving at a well-known private club, he asked the waiter: "Has Director Zhou arrived?"
"Right this way, in the private room." The waiter said with a warm smile, "Please follow me, Mr. Mu."
Two people walked into the private room and saw a slightly stout middle-aged man. The man's eyes lit up when he saw Ding Caiyan, then stood up to greet Mu Tianyang: "General Manager Mu, long time no see."
Mu Tianyang shook hands with him: "Minister Zhou doesn't have to be polite, just call me Tianyang... You call me Mu General, I don't dare to accept it."
"You're young and promising, capable of carrying on the Mu family's legacy. Don't you think 'Mu General' is a title that suits you?"
"Facing you, I am after all a junior, so I naturally don't dare to be presumptuous." Mu Tianyang pulled Wanqing forward, "This is Ding Caiyan, Miss Ding."
"Miss Ding, you're really beautiful!" Minister Zhou immediately shook hands with Ding Caoyan, his eyes lingering on her chest for a few seconds.
Ding Caiyan secretly resented herself, if she had known about this unexpected event, she shouldn't have chosen this outfit! Mu Tianyang was indeed a gentleman, but he was taken advantage of by this old man eating ice cream, just thinking about it made her feel sick. But now, she didn't dare to show it at all and still smiled politely.
After the polite exchange, the three of them sat down at a round table.
Taking advantage of Ding Caizhen's inattention, Mu Tianyang gave Director Zhou a hint. Director Zhou understood and after drinking two mouthfuls of wine said: "Tianyang, that piece of land is probably problematic..."
Mu Tianyang's face didn't look too good, but he still smiled and said: "Didn't we agree on this? Why are there still problems?"
"You know, it's real estate, and there's more than just your family in this business." Minister Zhou smiled, seeming to be confident and calculating something.
Mu Tianyang's face stiffened: "Then Minister Zhou, tell me, what should be done to avoid any issues?"
"This...," Minister Zhou coughed twice and then started talking about a bunch of data and trends.
Ding Caiyan didn't quite understand, and could only keep observing their expressions, feeling the atmosphere slowly become awkward. Mu Tianyang's expression was not good, and he even drank three cups of strong liquor in one gulp. She didn't know what to do, thinking that she could help him a lot, and his opinion of her would definitely be better.
At this time, she saw Director Zhou sizing her up. She smiled and raised her wine glass: "Come on, Director Zhou, no deal is made with kindness, don't spoil the harmony, this cup of Chrysanthemum wine is for you!"
Minister Zhou smiled: "A beauty offers a toast, how could I dare refuse!"
Director Zhou downed a cup of wine, his face relaxing a lot, but Mu Tianyang still didn't look too pleased. Cai Yan quietly pressed his hand and stood up to walk to Director Zhou's side, pouring him another drink: "Here, Director Zhou, this cup is from me on behalf of Tianyang to toast you!"
Premier Zhou sneered, thinking to himself: What makes you think you can replace Mu Tianyang? Mu Tianyang has already sold you out, and yet you're still helping her count the money! However, Cai Yan was standing close to him, and he gazed at her with a flirtatious expression, his eyes fixed on her breasts. He took the wine cup from her hand, and his thick, fleshy palm brushed against her buttocks.
