"Hmph, what’s a big meal, if you listen to me, I might consider sleeping with you!" Qi Manlin said cheerfully, of course, she was just teasing Lin Mu and didn’t actually intend to have a car romp with him.
"Uh... girl, congratulations on finally figuring it out? There’s a hotel ahead, I’ve heard the environment’s quite nice, how about we take a break and delve into our ideals and life?" Lin Mu grinned at Qi Manlin.
"Hmph, dream on, go have your fantasies!" Qi Manlin playfully punched Lin Mu.
"Well, a car romp isn’t bad, it’s romantic, has a vibe, and will be unforgettable for you!" Lin Mu said eagerly.
"Hmph!" Qi Manlin slammed the accelerator and took off, "Okay, I’ll shake you to death today!"
"Oh my god, oh... girl... girl, slow down... oh my head!"
Lin Mu rubbed his head and quickly fastened his seatbelt. When riding in Qi Manlin’s car, if you want to tell a dirty joke, you must fasten your seatbelt; otherwise, if this wild policewoman suddenly acts up, you might end up with a head injury!
Qi Manlin drove Lin Mu to Yunhai Mansion, then headed back to the police bureau. She holds a high position now as the grand bureau chief, so naturally, she couldn’t appear stingy. She definitely needed to set up a celebratory feast first, which would also facilitate her future work.
After Lin Mu got out of the car, he rubbed his forehead and entered Yunhai Mansion, greeting a few familiar security guards before taking the elevator to the top floor and strolling into the CEO’s office, greeting Sophie by the window with a cheerful,
"Hi, gorgeous, good morning!"
Sophie crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned to look at Lin Mu. After not seeing him for a few days, she was unaccustomed to the lack of his antics around her and even found herself missing him a bit!
"What brings you to my place?" Sophie smiled at Lin Mu.
"Hey, haven’t seen you in days, I missed you!" Lin Mu pretended to confess earnestly, but his next statement was full-on goofy, "Hmm, just checking if my future wife has been seeing any pretty boys!"
Sophie laughed at his jest, gracefully walked to the sofa, sat down elegantly, and sipped her coffee lightly.
"Who’s your wife? The term ’wife’ isn’t one you can just throw around, or else you’ll never find one in your entire life."
"Hey, I’m not randomly saying it. We have a marriage contract, you know. And now, who says we’re not a match made in heaven?" Lin Mu chuckled.
"Heh, when did I ever agree to that!" Sophie retorted playfully.
Lin Mu grinned and sat down next to Sophie, extending an arm as if to wrap it around her shoulder but thought better of it. After all, Sophie wasn’t like Zhou Xun, a meek woman, nor was she a brash, bold type like Qi Manlin. Recklessly taking liberties with Sophie might provoke a strong retaliation from the CEO!
"Ha, Feifei, we’re engaged. Rest assured, I swear you’re bound to be mine sooner or later. With such an outstanding man like me, who else in the world could be worthy of you?" Lin Mu shamelessly laughed.
"You’re just full of yourself, aren’t you? Spill, what brings you here?" Sophie rolled her eyes at Lin Mu.
As the CEO of Su’s Great Enterprise, a business empress of the Golden Triangle among the world’s top 500 companies, Sophie was unlike ordinary women. She had extraordinary insight and could immediately tell Lin Mu had a request. Such a woman was destined to become a legendary figure in the business world!
"Hehe, it’s , I got the Shengshi KTV in Wancheng South City, but we’re short on crew, so I wanted to temporarily transfer a few people from you. It’s not workable without anyone there!" Lin Mu smiled.
Regarding Shengshi KTV, Lin Mu and Zhang Yangwei signed a legitimate transfer contract, and Lin Mu only gave Zhang Yangwei five million, while all assets worth fifty million became Lin Mu’s, practically a no-cost deal!
"Oh? You got Shengshi KTV too?" Sophie cast a glance of approval.
In such a short time, Lin Mu had consecutively taken over two super well-located entertainment venues, practically monopolizing the large-scale entertainment industry in East City and South City. These were prime areas; it’s impossible for the business not to thrive. The money earned was practically like being blown in by the wind.
"Haha, don’t look at me with those admiring eyes, it’s just a trifle. Of course, I also left a little benefit for you, my fiancée. You’ll get twenty percent of the shares in Shengshi KTV. How does that sound, satisfied?" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"Oh? Why’s that?" Sophie smiled.
"No particular reason, it’s simply because you’re my fiancée. How about it, isn’t my character good?" Lin Mu thumbed himself up.
"Smooth talker! Not a bit serious!"
"Let’s do it this way, you arrange a few key people from Yunhai Mansion to go over there, and I’ll recruit people as soon as possible. Sigh, the business is getting too big, it’s impossible without manpower." Lin Mu said.
"No worries, I’ll have Xiaowan arrange for some experienced managers to go over, guaranteeing the business will flourish!" Sophie nodded, then added, "By the way, the maritime safety escort shouldn’t be delayed. Last time, Su’s Great Enterprise let you earn ten million all at once, wasn’t that taste sweet?"
"Not bad, not bad, hey, a good opportunity should first be given to me, the benefits shouldn’t go to outsiders, after all, aren’t we in a marriage relationship?" Lin Mu grinned foolishly.
"Pfft, who’s married to you? Did I ever agree?"
"Oh? Are you trying to back out? Last time you said yourself, within a month, either you accept me, or let me leave! So now, with a month almost up, since I’ve saved you many times and you’ve reciprocated my kindness, wouldn’t it mean by now, we should, well, you know?" Lin Mu said with a sly grin.
"You know what?" Sophie teased charmingly, "I’ve changed my mind. A month is too short a testing period; I haven’t decided yet!"
"Then, how long do you need to decide to marry me?" Lin Mu asked eagerly.
"That’s hard to say, maybe a year or two, maybe ten or eight years, anything’s possible!" Sophie deliberately teased Lin Mu.
"Oh my, ten or eight years, we’ll be old by then!" Lin Mu was in a rush, "How about we seize the moment while we’re young, enjoy life, how’s that?"
Just then, Lin Mu’s eyes caught a very prominent book on Sophie’s shelf, clearly something she had just read, as its pages were still open. The title was "To Youth," with a poetic line on the inside: "Let’s go insane, for our youth will be wasted if we don’t; if we don’t enjoy life, we’ll grow old too soon!"
Lin Mu turned the book over, held it in his hands, and foolishly laughed, "Haha, Feifei, this book seems to be written just for us!"
