MY LOVING MARRIAGE - Season 20 Episode 13

After Yang Sheng answered, Qi Lei hung up. He took the laptop and started flipping through it.

He had been handling things in City C these past few days, so he had left a lot of things behind in the company. There were more than a dozen missed calls. Other than Yang Sheng, there were Vice President Wang Chun and the other two managers. Of course, Mu Yuchen had also called twice.

As Qi Lei skillfully found the information, he took his phone and called Mu Yuchen.

The ringtone rang a few times, and the person on the other end picked up. However, it was Xi Xiaye’s voice—

“Hello? Qi Lei?”

When he heard Xi Xiaye’s voice, Qi Lei was naturally a little surprised, but he quickly reacted.

“Xiaye? Why Is it you? Where’s Mu Yuchen?”

“He’s making tea and getting some snacks. What’s wrong? Shouldn’t you be resting at home at this time?”

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Xi Xiaye was sitting on the rattan chair outside the balcony, looking at the beach outside. When she saw the sparkling sea surface on the other side, she could not help but be a little puzzled.

“You guys seem to be at ease. I still have to look at the project’s data. How have you been these few days?” Qi Lei asked with concern.

“It’s been quite fun. It’s been hard on you. It’s late now, you should rest early. The body is the capital of the revolution.”

Xi Xiaye said with concern.

“It’s okay. There’s too much stuff piled up. I can’t sleep either. I’m used to it.”

“Mu Yuchen mentioned it to me before. I’m afraid you’ll have to work harder during this period of time. How’s your relationship with Liuyun? is everything going well?”

Xi Xiaye sat up slightly and took the tea from the man. She took a sip and asked.

Mu Yuchen sat down beside her.

“It’s just a small matter. Everything’s fine. Enjoy your time together. It’s almost time, your tasks won’t be easy when the two of you come back. You’ll have a lot to handle at the end of the year too.”

Qi Lei said as he browsed through the data in his laptop.

“Listening to yourself, I feel like you’ve planned this before. Aren’t you worry that we won’t be able to handle the things at the end of the year?” Xi Xiaye smiled helplessly.

“I wouldn’t dare to guarantee if it were someone else, but if it’s Mu Yuchen, I won’t have any worries.”

Qi Lei was not stingy at all with his words.

At this moment, Xi Xiaye chuckled as she looked up at the man who was serving tea.

When he noticed her gaze, Mu Yuchen instantly looked up and met her smiling gaze. Then, he put down the teacup in his hand and reached out.

Xi Xiaye very quickly understood and handed him the phone.

Mu Yuchen took it—

“It’s me.”

“I just looked at my phone. A few missed calls. What’s wrong?”

Qi Lei got straight to the point.

“Vice President Zhang Lan called, she hasn’t seen you in a few days. There’s a problem with the budget data for the second phase. She’s already sent the data directly to your email and sent me a copy. I’ve taken a look at it and made comments on the areas where I have questions. Work hard these two days. Find some time to go take a look at the construction materials market and see if you can verify the price. This price is too high. I don’t have a deep understanding with the people over there, so it should be more suitable for you to go over.”

Mu Yuchen leaned back into the rattan chair behind him as he explained.

“I went to City C these past two days and didn’t manage to make it. Send the annotated copy directly to my email. I’ll take a look.”

“I’ve already sent it to you. See if you agree with me. What’s wrong with City C? Didn’t your project in City C finish already?” Mu Yuchen asked curiously.

Qi Lei could not help but rub the space between his brows, “It’s not going as smoothly as you have here. The project in City C has indeed been completed, but the later stages of the project still need to be inspected personally. The evaluation team is prudent. In addition, the other party hasn’t given me the final payment. This time, I’m going over to get evidence.”

Qi Lei did not have any qualms talking to Mu Yuchen about business matters.

“Get evidence? Do you need to personally collect the debt?”

Mu Yuchen was a little surprised. He, Qi Lei, had a lot of people he could use.

“It’s good that things are that simple. This partner has some connections with Qi Kai before. This debt has been owed for a long time. I’ve told you before that he should still have some trump cards, but he doesn’t dare to reveal them easily. I’m going over now to get evidence of a recording, and I also have the intention to get him to speak.”

“Now his loan notes, recording, and the materials for the debt are in my hands. I’ve already handed them over to the lawyer to handle. If it doesn’t work, I can only let him use the house and car as collateral to pay off the debt.”

“The account hasn’t been frozen?”

“It’s frozen. There’s no money in it. This old man is sly. He had already transferred his savings, house, and car to his son’s name.”

“As far as I know, didn’t he have a piece of land near the east of your city?” Mu Yuchen thought about it and suddenly asked.

“Mmm, the Jin family couldn’t get any ideas from me before, so they’re keeping a close eye on this piece of land now. I’ve checked, and that piece of land is still under his name. I’ll get Wang Chun to submit the materials tomorrow and see if he can get that piece of land.”

Qi Lei opened his email as he read through the email Mu Yuchen sent him.

“You’re not planning to do a new project over there. What are you doing here?” Mu Yuchen asked with a meaningful look in his eyes.

“I can tell what you’re thinking from your tone.” Qi Lei replied unhappily.

Mu Yuchen just smiled and did not say anything.

“I’ve always heard that the Jin family is very interested in the project over there, and you didn’t seem to have any conflict of interest with the Jin family before this. Moreover, the Jin family seems to be the son-in-law of the Dongfang family now, and they’re related to you. I don’t understand why you’re doing this.”

Mu Yuchen’s tone carried a hint of ridicule.

“I don’t want to be related to them. I just want to take back the rest of my money. It’s not a small amount! I’ve always just done things where necessary, it’s not as complicated as you say.” Qi Lei explained.

“It’s not like you at all.”

“Then, what’s more like me?” Qi Lei asked.

“You know what you’re doing, but there’s nothing wrong with you being like this. At least, you’re living a more realistic life than before.”

Mu Yuchen was silent for a moment before replying.

Qi Lei smiled disdainfully.

“Xiaye and I will only be back next week. The weather these two days has been pretty good, we’ll stay for a day or two more,” Mu Yuchen said.

“You’re really like a capitalist now. You’re only squeezing me. Alright, go ahead. I’ll take a look at the information.”
