Chapter 502 The Orphan Girl Who Will No Longer Be Manipulated (28)
Initially, Mu Xingbang only intended to make up for Mu Zhou's shortcomings and let himself experience the joy of being surrounded by his children again at this age.
It's just money anyway, he can afford it.
But later, he discovered that Mu Zhou actually had some abilities, so he planned to train her well and make her an asset to Mu Jin's business in the future, and even gave her a share of the company.
But now, he has discovered Mu Zhou's more important role.
That was to win over Gu Yanli.
Gu Yanli was clearly interested in Mu Zhou.
Mu Xingbang wasn't stupid; he could naturally see through it.
He wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to get closer to Gu Yanli.
Now, Gu Yanli is making a strong comeback with Yuanying Group, and his momentum should not be underestimated.
If we can cooperate with him, it will be an absolute advantage for the Mu family's future overseas expansion.
Therefore, he entrusted Mu Zhou with important responsibilities and had Mu Zhou attend many important occasions on his behalf.
They even promoted Mu Zhou to honorary vice president.
This is all for the purpose of achieving further cooperation with Gu Yanli and enabling Lianzhong Group to create new glories.
This infuriated Mu Ruxin.
Lately, nothing she does has been going well.
At work, her supervisor, Manager Yin, was extremely harsh on her, showing no regard for the fact that she was the chairman's granddaughter and the general manager's biological daughter.
She would be punished for making mistakes and forced to work overtime.
In her private life, she was already angry enough about failing to drug Jiang Yan last time, and then Jiang Yan found out.
She still can't forget the warning look Jiang Yan gave her that day.
It was sinister and terrifying, like a demon crawling out of hell, as if it wanted to tear her flesh apart.
However, Mu Ruxin did not take it to heart.
No matter what, Jiang Yan is someone without a family background. She had heard from her father that when Jiang Yan's family fell from power, many powerful figures got involved, and they would not let Jiang Yan rise to prominence.
Mu Ruxin herself is a true heiress, and she has no fear of Jiang Yan's revenge.
However, failing to disgust Mu Zhou still made her somewhat irritated.
In particular, Mu Zhou has now become the vice president.
"Dad, I don't care, you have to get Grandpa to remove her. Why is she the vice president while I'm just a lowly salesperson?"
Mu Ruxin acted coquettishly towards Mu Jin.
But at this moment, Mu Jin also had a lot of worries and couldn't help but scold his daughter.
Mu Ruxin was frightened, but Meng Xiyuan couldn't stand it and said a few words to Mu Jin before coaxing Mu Ruxin away.
After their daughter left, Meng Xiyuan and her husband both looked gloomy.
They're now a little unsure of what the old man is thinking.
Originally, it was thought that this was just simple compensation for Mu Zhou, but now it seems that they are gradually transferring the group's affairs to Mu Zhou.
They were unaware that Mu Xingbang simply wanted to use Mu Zhou to get close to Gu Yanli, and they thought he really intended to let Mu Zhou inherit the family business.
The couple has been unable to sleep for the past few nights.
Who could accept having a huge fortune that they've always held in their hands suddenly being told that it's going to be taken away and given to a sister who appears out of nowhere?
Mu Jin's face was gloomy, and he frowned in annoyance.
After pondering for a long time, Meng Xiyuan glanced at his expression and slowly spoke:
"Are you really willing to hand everything over to that younger sister?"
Mu Jin's face darkened instantly:
"Bullshit, it's all mine, she can forget about it."
Meng Xiyuan sneered:
"What's the use of saying all this? Today, Attorney Lin secretly went to the company."
"what?!"
Attorney Lin is the Mu family's family lawyer. He rarely appears in public and only shows up on important occasions.
For example, changing a will.
Mu Jin instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.
His eyes shifted from panic to confusion, and finally to ruthlessness:
"The old man is getting old and his mind isn't clear anymore. Since he's acting haphazardly, he should obediently step down."
"what do you mean……"
Meng Xiyuan understood.
Naturally, they wanted to do something before the will was amended, so that Mu Xingbang would never be able to change it again.
A legal and compliant will requires multiple witnesses to be present. Today, only Attorney Lin is present, which may mean that the discussion is only temporary and has not yet been formally amended.
They still have time.
All of this was within Mu Zhou's plan.
Attorney Lin came to the company not to change a will.
She knew very well that Mu Xingbang would not leave the group to her.
She simply used Gu Yanli as an excuse, under the guise of discussing an important collaboration, to get Attorney Lin to appear at the company after get off work hours, and deliberately let Meng Xiyuan see him.
She will definitely do something.
When Zhang Mo was just pregnant, Meng Xiyuan and her husband were already so eager to drive her to her death.
Now that they may lose out on a huge fortune, they will not sit idly by.
Mu Zhou just needs to wait patiently.
Just then, the department manager knocked on the door.
"Mr. Mu, Ms. Mu Ruxin used uncivilized language again when communicating with the client, and the client is very angry."
Recently, Mu Zhou has been in charge of a very important project, and Mu Ruxin volunteered to join, but she has been secretly sabotaging it.
Mu Zhou didn't even look up after hearing the manager's words:
“Punish her according to the rules and regulations, and then have her work with the after-sales team to handle the complaint.”
Handling complaints is the most troublesome issue for the after-sales department. It's basically a job where you get scolded and have to keep apologizing, and the salary you earn is just compensation for your mental distress.
But this job is also the one that allows you to understand customer needs most directly.
Mu Ruxin's inability to be professional when negotiating with clients indicates a lack of solid business skills, making her well-suited for experience in the after-sales department.
Even Mu Xingbang wouldn't say much about this reason.
Mu Zhou didn't want to waste too much time on Mu Ruxin. A simple arrangement would make her uncomfortable for a long time, so there was no need to put in any effort.
Moreover, once Mu Jin and Meng Xiyuan fall, Mu Ruxin's current life of wealth and luxury will naturally disappear.
At this time, Mu Ruxin was indeed feeling extremely frustrated because of Mu Zhou's transfer.
She went to her grandfather and father, but they couldn't change the outcome, and in the end she had to accept reality.
I went to the first place and got a really bad scolding.
She had never been so disheveled in her life.
Just as Mu Ruxin was apologizing everywhere, Mu Zhou drove to Gu Yanli's residence.
Just an hour earlier, she was about to go home when she suddenly received a call from Gu Yanli.
Judging from his voice, he seemed to be unwell; his voice was much lower and hoarse than usual.
Mu Zhou assumed he was just drunk.
*
Gu Yanli lives in a villa on the hillside, in an extremely tranquil environment, overlooking the dazzling city below.
As soon as the door opened, Mu Zhou looked at the pitch-black room and suddenly hesitated.
"Gu Yanli, are you there...?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than a large hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the house.
Mu Zhou was pinned against the wall, overwhelmed by a powerful sense of aggression.
Her hands were restrained at her sides and she couldn't move, and the bag on her shoulder fell to the ground.
Although he couldn't see the person clearly, Mu Zhou had already smelled that familiar scent, so he didn't struggle.
Gu Yanli lowered his head and buried it in the crook of her neck, his thin lips pressed against her soft, tender skin, his breath hot.
"I've taken Chinese medicine."
