Chapter 408 Unless
Chapter 408 Unless
Su Muqing does things efficiently and properly, and very naturally, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Deep down, Xu Mingyuan admired girls like Su Muqing very much and felt comfortable working with her.
But appreciation does not mean liking.
Xu Mingyuan always told Xiao Yangzhi that one should do things appropriate for one's age and not worry about other things.
But this sentence is actually a false proposition. Even Xu Mingyuan does not think this sentence is correct. He just made it up as an excuse to help Xiao Yangzhi concentrate on school.
Just like Su Muqing, you can’t say that she is too capable, and it is a mistake to recognize the society too early, right?
This is of course biased.
However, if you become familiar with the rules of society too early, you will lose your agility and become more snobbish, making everything between people no longer simple but complicated.
If he had to do it all over again, what Xu Mingyuan wanted most was not benefits.
Like the silly little Taotao, who is happy and carefree all day long.
And Xiao Yangzhi, who seems to be a little scheming but is actually completely ignorant of the world, has the things that Xu Mingyuan cares about the most.
That is the truth.
But Su Muqing is different. Her understanding of society makes Xu Mingyuan feel as if he has returned to the past.
It's the flattering experience in the past.
Xu Mingyuan would be flattered by others, and he would also flatter others, find connections, and pull relationships. This is how social interactions are.
In the past, Xu Mingyuan was a businessman in the real estate industry and there was no way he could avoid this kind of thing.
What he is working in now is high-tech, which is an industry strongly supported by the country. Although he also has to manage interpersonal relationships, his father has blocked him from doing so, so Xu Mingyuan does not need to do it himself.
Su Muqing is smart, very smart.
But this is exactly what makes her least smart.
It is true that Xu Mingyuan likes pure dressing, but this definitely does not mean that he hates women with exquisite appearance.
Just like Tao Shuxin's careful dressing today, she abandoned her girlish look and looked like a literary young woman.
And Xu Mingyuan is very clear that Tao Shuxin will continue to develop in this direction in the future and never look back.
The little girl will gradually transform into an intellectual young woman with gentle conversation and will no longer treat others in a careless manner.
After all, Tao Shuxin will grow up too, and she can't speak well and always offends people, so she'd better speak less and make fewer mistakes.
But Tao Shuxin is still very real in private, just like Xu Mingyuan once removed her intellectual disguise with just a few words, making her so angry that she slammed the table on the spot.
As a female monitor since her student days, Tao Shuxin is always the little girl who can't hide her thoughts.
So when he first came into contact with Su Muqing, when he saw her take the fried skewers from Tao Shuxin with a look of joy on her face, and Xu Mingyuan caught the fleeting look of disgust in her eyes, he immediately gave her a bad look.
This is Xu Mingyuan's spiritual haven of comfort, and he wants to protect this reality.
But not liking it doesn't mean Xu Mingyuan hates it.
At least it was comfortable to be with Su Muqing, who was as hypocritical as him.
"Mingyuan, would you like some wine?"
Not long after they started eating, Su Muqing asked.
"No." Xu Mingyuan picked up a piece of fried fish for Xiao Yangzhi and said, "Try this. This kind of fish has no small bones and its bones are cartilage. You can eat it directly."
Xiao Yangzhi is a timid girl. She always picks out the fish bones before eating them, for fear that they will get stuck in her throat.
This is the good thing about people with high emotional intelligence. Su Muqing only ate in the cafeteria once with Xiao Yangzhi, and she knew what food to order, making everyone feel comfortable.
"Ah."
Yang Zhi responded, and seeing Tao Shuxin chewing it with a crunch, he also took a bite carefully.
After tasting that the bones were actually cartilage, Yang Zhi could finally eat them with confidence.
"We haven't had a drink together yet? Let's drink together." Su Muqing continued to persuade.
"No, I want to drive." Xu Mingyuan said.
"The hotel has a designated driver, so it's okay to drink a little." Su Muqing said with a smile.
"Hey, what's wrong with you today? I told you not to drink."
Xu Mingyuan looked up and glanced at Su Muqing, not understanding why she was in such a daze today.
Normally, she would only say it once and then stop, but today she said it three times. How could a girl like Su Muqing, who has such high emotional intelligence, make such a low-level mistake? "Didn't you send me a list? I went to the South Campus to discuss it in the past few days. Vice Dean Qi Tao of the Mechanical Engineering Department of Jiangda is willing to take over. The initial development cost will be 100,000 yuan." Su Muqing said.
"One hundred thousand? It's not even enough to cover the initial purchase cost, right? My requirements are very high, such as response speed, fineness, multi-level vibration, and the development cycle will take at least one year. Don't find some people who are just slacking off to fool me." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Our Jiang University is well-known for its mechanical engineering, and it just so happens that Vice President Qi Tao's old project has been discontinued. Star Technology is listed in the school, and the school is responsible for purchasing. We just need to pay part of the salary first, and I will be responsible for communication on subsequent issues." Su Muqing said with a smile.
"Is communication so simple? It seems that my donation was not wasted. Not bad." Xu Mingyuan said with relief.
"How can it be called simple? I put a lot of effort into it, okay? We are all alumni of Jiangnan University, so it's easier to talk to you."
Su Muqing let out a long breath and acted very tired.
You must make sure your boss sees your work; this is what a qualified employee should do.
In fact, the task assigned by Xu Mingyuan was not difficult. After all, Star Sky Technology was a unit cooperating with the school, so all he had to do was communicate with the school with the company's articles of association.
But the difficulty lies in the fact that Xu Mingyuan has high requirements and wants the best team to do it, which makes it difficult to do.
Each research team at Jiangda University is very independent. Even if the school leaders value Xu Mingyuan, they can't devote all their efforts to help a company with research and development. Moreover, the procedures of public institutions are extremely complicated. If Su Muqing communicates one-on-one according to Xu Mingyuan's requirements, she won't have to think about doing anything else this year and can just work for him wholeheartedly.
"Thank you, you've worked hard." Xu Mingyuan nodded.
"It's not hard." Su Muqing smiled lightly, blinked and said, "Have a drink?"
"Forget it." Xu Mingyuan shook his head and refused.
"Well, okay, then I'll use tea instead of wine."
Su Muqing raised the glass of raspberry juice and gulped down most of it.
"Cheers! Uh~hiccup..."
Tao Shuxin raised the juice in the glass together, but he hadn't swallowed the food in his mouth yet. He choked when he spit out the food, and patted his chest several times before he burped.
Seeing that Tao Shuxin was fine, Xu Mingyuan shook his head helplessly and raised his glass to signal.
Yang Zhi just touched the cup and put it down. She basically doesn't drink iced drinks and will wait until they reach room temperature before drinking.
Yang Zhi could see from Xu Mingyuan's expression that he didn't want to pay attention to Su Muqing today.
Since her brother is being perfunctory to her, it doesn't matter if she is perfunctory too.
"Brother Xiaoyuan! I want to drink fruit wine. The fruit wine here is delicious and not intoxicating."
Seeing that the brother and sister opposite were just focused on eating and didn't talk much, Tao Shuxin couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to help Su Muqing suggest drinking.
"Drink if you want." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Then you have to drink it too." Tao Shuxin said with a pout.
"Okay, okay." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Taotao, let's drink white wine? This store has specially blended sweet flavors, how about it?" Su Muqing said with a smile.
"Okay, it would be unpalatable without beer, right?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"Of course, it's no worse than fruit wine."
Su Muqing raised her hand and shook it, asking the waiter to get a can of special cocktail.
When the wine was served, Su Muqing sent the waiter away and took the initiative to distribute the wine to several people. She said to Xu Mingyuan, "I've heard Tao Tao say that you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. How about trying it? It's delicious."
"When you persuade people to drink, do you always say that the wine tastes good?"
Xu Mingyuan took the goblet, took a sip and asked.
"You don't want to drink with me, so how can I find a suitable toast? I can only say that the wine is delicious." Su Muqing also took a sip of wine and said.
"Is it hard to find a toast? You've worked so hard during the holidays, shouldn't we celebrate properly?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Vacation? Mingyuan, have you forgotten that I have graduated? Alas, time flies and can never come back. I am no longer a college student." Su Muqing said with a sigh.
"Oh, yes, you have graduated, and you have only had a half-month vacation. I haven't adapted to it yet. I'm not used to it." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"What's so strange about that? I didn't react either. But no matter how hard I work, I can't work as hard as you, boss. I can't even flatter you in my lifetime to achieve what you have accomplished, so how can I have the nerve to brag about myself?"
Su Muqing looked at the night view of the seaside in the distance with a bleak face, and sighed in melancholy.
"You have to have confidence. Who knows, you might get lucky in the future and go further," said Xu Mingyuan.
"Lucky? Hey, Xu Mingyuan, please don't curse me. The big trucks on the road are scary." Su Muqing shrank back and giggled.
"I said it was luck." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Haha, I just get unlucky every day, and my brain is turned into a paste. It's definitely not as good as yours, so stop making fun of me." Su Muqing shrugged and said.
"Senior Sister Su's words are nice, but I can assure you that even if you don't listen to my advice and continue to work in finance, even if you suffer setbacks in the future, you will definitely become successful on your own." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Really? Are you praising me? Wow, this is so rare. Are you sure you are not kidding?"
Su Muqing pretended to look at Xu Mingyuan in surprise, as if she didn't believe what he said.
"Of course I'm praising you. Am I kidding? I'm just telling the truth." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Mingyuan, I find that you can also speak in a nice way."
Su Muqing narrowed her eyes and smiled happily. It was the first time that Xu Mingyuan did not come to stress test her.
"Alas, do we young people of the new era need to say a toast when we drink? Just say "May this day come again every year, may this day come again every year". Come on, let's drink together!"
Tao Shuxin was almost disgusted by the two people's business nonsense, so she quickly raised her glass to interrupt their conversation.
Yang Zhi did not drink, but just listened quietly to everyone's discussion, trying her best to make herself invisible, and quietly peeled shrimps for Xu Mingyuan, not wanting him to drink with an empty stomach.
"Xiao Zhizhi, why don't you drink it? It's sweet and sour, which is your favorite flavor."
Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi had remained silent, Tao Shuxin gave her a caring greeting.
"I don't drink outside." Yang Zhi replied indifferently.
Yang Zhi not only didn't want to drink outside, she also didn't want to drink at home.
Drinking was just a little trick played by Yang Zhi, but now that his goal has been achieved, he will never want to drink a drop of alcohol again in his life.
Unless my brother feeds me personally...
