Xin Zaozao overslept because she hadn’t been able to sleep the night before.
Because she was sharing her bed with Wanwan, she hadn’t set an alarm, and when she woke, it was already nine in the morning.
She had an important project eting this afternoon, she needed to go over the presentation in the morning, she hastily scrambled out of bed.
At this point, Wanwan was no longer on their bed, probably having gotten up and been carried away by Mu Cidian.
She was a bit furious.
Her phone was on silent mode, seeing multiple missed calls from Song Lifei, she felt like her world was crumbling.
She hurriedly freshened up, changed, and put on makeup.
The mont she stepped out of the room, she saw Mu Cidian and Wanwan playing together. Storming over to Mu Cidian, she was in a grave fit of anger, "Why didn’t you wake ?!"
Mu Cidian turned towards her, Wanwan cradled in his arms.
He saw her flushed face due to the rush.
He looked particularly indifferent, "You didn’t ask to wake you."
"You knew I was late for work!" Xin Zaozao was quite angry.
They were sharing a bed, couldn’t he have spared an instant to wake her up?
"Isn’t that your problem?" Mu Cidian responded in a low voice.
Xin Zaozao found herself speechless to the take of Mu Cidian.
The nanny watched as Xin Zaozao began to seethe.
She had always seen her calm deanor and rarely saw her acting so ordinary and normal, demonstrating the full range of human emotions.
The nanny couldn’t help but feel perhaps she was misinterpreting things. It appeared as though Xin Zaozao was adorably throwing a tantrum at her husband.
It seed her husband wasn’t quite appreciating it.
Mu Cidian glanced at Xin Zaozao once more, he remarked, "If you’re late, why don’t you leave?"
Xin Zaozao snapped back to reality.
Really, she had an internal fire burning, a great, raging fire, she turned and stord off.
When she left, she shut the door behind her with abounding fury.
She didn’t know whether she was more angry about being late or Mu Cidian’s indifferent attitude towards her.
Pondering about the reason she overslept only ignited more anger.
If Mu Cidian wanted to tolerate it and beco a hermit by his own volition, so be it!
She will not lose sleep over this again, ever again!
The nanny watched in the direction Xin Zaozao had stord off, she turned back, "Madam seems to be really angry."
But Mu Cidian wasn’t bothered at all.
He continued holding Wanwan, making her laugh.
"Why do I feel like this is the real Madam?" the nanny murmured.
Mu Cidian seed to pause for a mont, but still... he showed no expression.
That afternoon.
Mu Cidian changed into a set of outdoor clothes.
Suited and booted, he looked very formal.
The nanny saw his appearance and promptly asked, "Sir, are you going out?"
"Yes, I have an important eting today, it can’t be done online, it will take about 3 hours. I will co back as soon as it’s finished." Mu Cidian instructed, "You are alone at ho, don’t do anything, take care of Wanwan. Call if you need anything."
"Yes, Sir." the nanny quickly agreed.
Mu Cidian left.
The nanny was carrying Wanwan, sending him off at the door.
At first, Wanwan didn’t react too much, but when she saw that her dad was about to go out, she imdiately started crying, reached out to her dad and threw herself towards him.
The nanny couldn’t hold her.
Mu Cidian quickly caught Wanwan.
Once caught, Wanwan clung to her dad’s neck and wouldn’t let go.
She looked so pitiful, as if she had been abandoned by her dad.
The nanny was a little anxious and tried different toys to distract Wanwan, but Wanwan ignored them all.
It was like she was saying, don’t try to trick with toys, I’m not falling for it!
Helplessly, Mu Cidian said, "Pack up, we’ll take her with us."
"But, sir, aren’t you going for an important eting?" the nanny asked.
"It’s okay." Mu Cidian smiled affectionately at Wanwan.
No eting could be more important than his little princess.
The nanny admitted defeat in the face of Wanwan’s persistence.
She quickly packed diapers, milk bottles, a bottle warr, a portable refrigerator, and other essentials, and followed Mu Cidian out of the house.
Mu Cidian drove to the office.
He rarely appeared at the office and only a few top executives recognized him.
He was personally visiting the office today because he was finalizing a deal with Ji Baijian and needed to clarify key points on site.
Once they reached the front gate of the office building.
Mu Cidian entered the lobby carrying Wanwan.
As soon as they walked in.
The security guard stopped him, "Sir, who are you here to see?"
Mu Cidian showed his work ID.
Looking at the work ID, the security guard imdiately beca very respectful, "Chairman."
Mu Cidian nodded slightly.
He led the way, carrying Wanwan.
The nanny followed close behind.
The nanny never expected that Mu Cidian would have such a large company. She had always known that Xin Zaozao was the ultimate boss of the company, so Xin Zaozao was more dominant at ho, Xin Zaozao often gave her money for household expenses, and her salary was also paid by Xin Zaozao. She had assud that Mu Cidian did not have much money. Otherwise, why would such an outstanding man be content to stay ho and take care of the child...
Alas.
Alas, she was truly shocked.
If Mu Cidian didn’t appear in such a setting, she might have thought that he was... a gold-digger.
Mu Cidian took the elevator up while holding Wanwan.
There were many people going in and out of that elevator.
None of the company employees recognized Mu Cidian, there were a lot of people looking at him because he was holding a child, plus he was extraordinarily handso.
Mu Cidian didn’t care, he went straight to the Chairman’s floor.
There were already people respectfully awaiting him at the elevator door, seeing him holding a baby they were a bit taken aback, "Chairman."
Mu Cidian nodded slightly.
Even while holding a baby, he radiated an imposing aura.
The person behind him followed closely.
Mu Cidian walked into his own office, naturally setting Wanwan down to sit on his thigh. He gave a toy to Wanwan – handed over by a nanny – thus, he had settled Wanwan.
The other executives looked at each other in bewildernt.
Mu Cidian said, "Please, have a seat."
"Oh, okay." A few executives hurriedly took their seats in front of Mu Cidian, according to their ranks.
Mu Cidian stated solemnly, "Yanshang Country is currently interested in the developnt of the e-sports industry and has a joint international project with S Country. The mobile ga that we developed will be launched in the other country. If successful, it might spread to neighboring countries around S Country. This ans that our user base will increase several dozen tis over the existing one, and our user group will expand from Yanshang Country to other countries! In the situation of such a massive growth scale, the current priority is to expand the company. This ans that apart from increasing technical support, we need to set up a branch in S Country. Do you have a plan for the establishnt of the branch?"
"Is it convenient for the chairman to go to the eting room? We can present our plan there," one of the executives suggested.
"Of course," Mu Cidian nodded.
Carrying Wanwan, Mu Cidian went to the eting room.
Wanwan didn’t feel scared at all. She was playing in her father’s arms, having her milk when she felt hungry.
The executives watched as their Chairman fed his baby while listening to their work report.
Key details were carefully listened to; any faults were pointed out directly and decisively by the Chairman.
The executives dare not slack off.
The work report was halfway done.
The door to the eting room was pushed open, and an employee stood next to the speaking executive. He whispered, "The heads of the Xin Group and Wendaji Group are waiting in the eting room for you, what do you think..."
The executive turned to look at Mu Cidian.
Mu Cidian felt the stares and asked, "What is it?"
"I’m sorry, Chairman, I didn’t know you would be coming to the company today, so I arranged for the Xin Group and the Wendaji Group to co and participate in the bidding for the construction of our the park. Their representatives just arrived..." The executive seed to be struggling with the situation.
Mu Cidian, still cradling Wanwan – who just finished her milk, and making her fall asleep in his arms, asked, "The bidding?"
"Yes."
"Then, bring the two representatives here."
"Does that an they’re having the bidding eting here?" The executive revealed a surprised expression.
Mu Cidian nodded.
The executive was genuinely puzzled.
When he first reported the project proposal to the chairman, he was told to make the decision on their own and finally report the results. Now, the chairman suddenly got involved.
But this was the chairman’s call after all. Besides, the chairman had all the voting rights of their company, so in the end, it ca down to his decision only.
The executive had his subordinates call in the representatives from the two corporations into the eting room.
Xin Zaozao and Song Lifei ca in person.
Wendaji Group was represented by Wen Yao, the heiress and general manager of the group, and her assistant.
Everyone knew that the parks are highly profitable, so both of the large construction corporations had set their sights on the project, determined to clinch it.
In the elevator.
Wen Yao couldn’t help but size up Xin Zaozao.
Xin Zaozao was of a similar age to her, maybe even slightly younger.
However, in the business world, she was much more well-known than Wen Yao.
Wen Yao had actually been sowhat competing with her covertly.
Although this project was very attractive to Wen Group, what was more attractive to her was Xin Zaozao. She was eager to prove that she was more capable than Xin Zaozao.
Xin Zaozao responded politely to Wen Yao’s gaze and gave a warm smile.
Wen Yao gritted her teeth privately.
She must win this ti.
"Did you just say that your mysterious chairman ca in person to open the bidding?" Wen Yao asked the staff mber leading them.
"Yes," the employee quickly replied, "Our Chairman doesn’t usually co to the company, but hearing that your two big corporations were coming to bid, he ca in person. He is very sincere about wanting to collaborate with you."
After all, both companies were amongst the leading business families in Jin City. Although their company was rapidly developing, it was still just an erging enterprise with no history or heritage. Therefore, they had to show utmost respect and awe towards these business families with historical statuses, and make sure to curry favor.
"We have had dealings with your company several tis, as sponsors for e-sports competitions and in advertising resources, but we have never really t your Chairman." Saying so, Wen Yao revealed a hint of curiosity towards this person.
"Our Chairman is very busy and seldom cos to the company, and also..." The employee hesitated.
He had just seen the chairman holding a baby.
He didn’t know how to explain that their chairman was busy taking care of his child at ho.
Luckily, the elevator arrived.
The employee quickly invited them to leave the elevator and head to the eting room.
The door to the eting room opened.
The executive was waiting at the door, very warmly, "I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, please co in."
Xin Zaozao and Wen Yao both courteously smiled and walked into the eting room.
Inside the eting room.
At the center, there was a man sitting.
To their surprise, the man was holding a baby in his arms.
The baby was nestled in the man’s arms, seemingly falling asleep. Falling asleep mumbling sothing in her mouth.
At that mont, Xin Zaozao was stunned.
Not just Xin Zaozao, but Song Lifei was also shocked, staring at Mu Cidian.
Why...
Why was Mu Cidian here?
Why...
Why was Wanwan here?
Xin Zaozao suddenly stopped at the entrance.
Seeing Xin Zaozao’s reaction, the executive stepped forward imdiately and said, "Chairman Xin, this way, please."
Xin Zaozao ca to her senses.
She turned to look at Song Lifei.
At that mont, Song Lifei smiled—a sly smile, as if he was about to watch a good show.
Xin Zaozao gave Song Lifei a look and sat down at one side of the eting room under the arrangent of the executive.
At that mont, Wen Yao sat on the other side.
She looked at Mu Cidian and couldn’t resist asking, "This is..."
"This is our Chairman, Mr. Mu Cidian," the executive answered promptly.
Mu Cidian looked up.
Calmy, he addressed Xin Zaozao and Wen Yao, "I apologize for the inconvenience, but there was no one at ho to look after the child."
"..."
Xin Zaozao’s eyes flicked briefly.
What does he an by ’no one at ho to look after the child’?!
Isn’t he the one who’s supposed to be staying ho watching the baby?!
