"Well, Miss Gu said that the porridge here is very delicious." Mu Tongzi raised his head and glanced at the woman beside him, speaking calmly.
"Really? It's great that Miss Gu likes it!" The boss smiled and nodded politely. "You two must come often. I'll head down now; feel free to let me know if you need anything!"
"Okay, thank you!" Green Qi raised her head and smiled politely.
The sweet and soft porridge melted in her mouth, tasting much better than what she had eaten before. It must be said that the breakfast at this Private Dining Restaurant was indeed delicious. No wonder it could be remembered by people even in such a remote location; truly, good wine fears no deep alley!
After leisurely finishing breakfast, Mu Tongzi led her out through an archway on one side, winding into the courtyard. The fragrance of flowers filled the air as they turned past a cluster of willows and a rockery. Dappled light filtered through the bamboo shadows on both sides of the path, sprinkling gently onto their clothes. The golden sunlight was warm and bright, with a gentle breeze stirring the tree shadows. The lotus flowers in the pond were blooming brilliantly in the summer, and the faint sound of flowing water could be heard.
Mu Tongzi sat down on a nearby Swing Set and waved to her, "Come sit over here; I'll explain some things you don't understand."
Sitting beside him, Green Qi looked at his relaxed figure on the swing, puzzled as to why he had suddenly become so approachable. Now he was even taking the initiative to teach her about business matters—experiences that probably couldn't be bought with money—yet he was unconditionally sharing them with her, which made her feel somewhat uneasy.
It seemed he noticed her inner struggle. Mu Tongzi teased her with a glance and smiled slightly, "Are you worried that I'm suddenly taking the initiative to teach you without any conditions because I have ulterior motives?"
"..." Caught off guard by his insight, she awkwardly smiled but couldn't find words to respond.
Looking down, Mu Tongzi ambiguously provided an unexpected reason: "You are my subordinate. Cultivating you is also to reduce future troubles at work; ultimately, it benefits the company as well. Helping you is simply part of my responsibilities as a boss; there's no need for you to overthink it."
"Okay, got it!" Right, he was her boss; it was normal for a superior to guide their subordinate. How could she have forgotten this point!
His actions were naturally for the sake of the company's interests. If she had enough ability to secure the position of Design Director, it would be beneficial for both GK and Mu Group. She had been overthinking!
She took a pen out of her bag and listened carefully to his explanation, occasionally jotting down key points. His professional and incisive analysis made her view this man in a new light; she hadn’t expected his knowledge to be as impressive as his appearance!
She began to understand why someone his age could lead such a large corporation.
After a thorough explanation, it was almost eleven o'clock, and the two of them left the Private Dining Restaurant and drove to Taibai Pavilion. The Listening Rain Pavilion was the largest private room in Taibai Pavilion, located in the best viewing area, facing the river on one side and close to the garden on the other.
The entire room was decorated in an elegant and luxurious style, with various murals and patterns adorning every corner. Under the white lighting, it appeared even more mysterious.
Mu Tongzi had just arrived at Listening Rain Pavilion with Green Qi when the mayor arrived right on time.
Green Qi stood up with Mu Tongzi and looked up at the man who stepped into the room. He appeared to be in his forties, with slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. His slender frame was dressed casually in a white shirt and beige leisure pants, giving off a relaxed vibe, but his piercing eyes revealed a sharpness.
