Chapter 918 - 961: Change
Breaking his usual habit, Mu Beiting actually opened his mouth to explain for the first time. "Su Yuexin is pregnant with another man’s child! That night, she slept with some other man, not me!"
Hearing Mu Beiting’s words, Ye Anxin stared at him wide‑eyed in disbelief. "She slept with another man? She didn’t know it herself?" As soon as the words left her mouth, Ye Anxin felt she’d just asked a ridiculously stupid question!
Her first time disappeared for no reason at all, and she herself didn’t know anything either!
If it hadn’t been for that video from Gu Xingchen, she’d still be kept totally in the dark!
So, if Su Yuexin was drunk out of her mind or drugged, it’s perfectly normal she wouldn’t know who she slept with.
"From now on, keep your distance from Yan Qinghan, in case he corrupts you!" As he spoke, before Ye Anxin could react, his body slid forward and he took her completely again.
"...!" Ye Anxin had wanted to say something more, but before she could get a single word out, Mu Beiting was already covering her lips with his.
In the end, everything she wanted to say was drowned in the moans spilling out of her mouth!
After another round of fierce battle, both Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin were soaked through. Ye Anxin’s jet‑black hair was plastered to her forehead and neck with sweat, her whole body cradled in Mu Beiting’s arms, panting heavily without pause.
Afraid she’d forget what he’d said, Mu Beiting patiently repeated himself, "From now on, whether you have something or nothing to do, you’re not allowed to go looking for Yan Qinghan anymore!"
Ye Anxin took deep breaths over and over, gasping nonstop. Once she’d more or less recovered, she asked in a voice that was already close to hoarse, "I don’t get it. Why would Mr. Yan lie to me? What’s his purpose in doing that? Is he trying to drive a wedge between us as husband and wife? But he used to work so hard to match us up. He was clearly hoping we’d be good together, so why would he want to sow discord between us now?"
No matter how hard she racked her brains, Ye Anxin just couldn’t figure out why Yan Qinghan had deliberately said that! Hasn’t Yan Qinghan always wanted her and Uncle to be good?
Mu Beiting’s thin lips parted slightly as he said coolly, "He’s just bored out of his mind and using you for entertainment."
"...!" Ye Anxin never expected Mu Beiting to actually use internet slang! "Bored out of his mind" coming out of his mouth was seriously something else.
"Stop overthinking and go to sleep like a good girl." As he spoke, he pressed Ye Anxin into his arms and reached out to flick off the switch on the bedside lamp.
After all that tossing around just now, she was really exhausted. The moment the light went off, she fell asleep in Mu Beiting’s arms.
......
Mu Group, President’s office.
Mu Beiting was bent over his desk, seriously handling official business, when a soft knock suddenly sounded at the door.
"Come in." With Mu Beiting’s order, the office door was pushed open from the outside.
Pete walked in and set a blue folder in his hand down on Mu Beiting’s desk. "President, these are the documents needed for the meeting later."
"Got it." Mu Beiting replied without even lifting his head, continuing with the work in his hands.
Pete turned around and left in silence.
When he reached the doorway and was about to close the office door behind him, Mu Beiting suddenly looked up. "Wait."
Pete turned back, walked up to Mu Beiting again, and bowed respectfully. "President, do you have any other instructions?"
Mu Beiting said, "Call the HR department and have them put out a recruitment ad. I want to hire a secretary. No age limit, no gender limit. As long as they take their work seriously, that’s enough."
Pete asked in some surprise, "Hire a secretary? President, how come you suddenly want to hire a secretary?"
Six years ago, after Judy was arrested for colluding with Xie Yunlu, the president’s secretary position has been vacant for more than six years. During these six years, the President never once planned to recruit a new secretary. Almost all of Judy’s work was dumped onto him. His salary, of course, went up a lot. And he’d long since gotten used to this kind of busy life, feeling that it wasn’t all that important whether the President had a secretary or not.
It’s just, what’s with the President today? Why is he suddenly thinking of hiring a secretary?
Mu Beiting didn’t answer that, and added, "And we’ll hire an assistant for you as well."
"Hire an assistant for me?" Hearing what Mu Beiting said next, Pete was even more surprised!
Right now he’s the President’s special assistant at Mu Group, practically second only to one person and above everyone else in the company. He only takes orders from the President.
In other companies, it’s perfectly normal for someone in his position to have a personal assistant. But he himself has never had one by his side, and it’s never even crossed his mind!
He feels that being able to work for the President is a huge honor! Especially since back then he and the President brought Mu Group, which was on the verge of liquidation, back from the dead and turned it into Jin City’s business leader. He really feels that’s a recognition of his abilities! If the President hadn’t appreciated and promoted him back then, he wouldn’t be where he is today!
So all along, he’s held a heart full of gratitude toward the President, and he’s willing to serve the President for the rest of his life!
Looking at Pete, Mu Beiting said from the heart, "There’s too much going on in the company. With a secretary and assistant to share the load for you and me, we’ll have more time to spend with our families. Especially you—you’ve worked hard these years. For the sake of work, you’ve neglected the people around you. Once someone is there to share the load, you should spend more time with your loved ones. Don’t wait until the future and regret it. In this life, career success alone doesn’t count as real success. A truly successful man is someone who can take care of both his career and his family."
Listening to Mu Beiting’s words, Pete was both shocked and moved.
He was shocked by how much Mu Beiting had changed, and moved that the President would actually think things through so thoroughly for him!
These years, for the sake of his career, he really has let a lot of things slide. Don’t even mention occasionally spending time with his own family and his wife and kids—when his own parents were sick, he never stayed by their bedside to take care of them. It was always his wife running around tending to everything!
He owes them a lot, and he really should take advantage of still being young, while he still has the chance, to make up for it properly. Otherwise, if one day his parents leave him, he’ll spend the rest of his life living with regret.
Seeing Pete’s deeply moved expression, a trace of awkwardness flashed in Mu Beiting’s eyes. He pressed his lips together and waved his hand. "Alright, off you go. Pass on what I said to HR. Tell them they must find suitable candidates in the shortest time possible. Salary won’t be an issue, as long as the person is capable."
"Understood, I’ll go arrange it right away." Pete nodded with a smile, turned, and left the office, closing the door behind him for Mu Beiting.
Looking at the tightly closed office door, Mu Beiting’s lips unconsciously curved into a handsome arc, a faint smile touching both his eyes and his face.
After Pete left, Mu Beiting picked up the blue folder Pete had just brought and started looking through it. He had only read for a short while when the phone on his desk rang.
