"What's the matter with you? Why did you suddenly say that you are going to get engaged?"
When Chen Mu saw Young Master Li in X City, he couldn't help asking.
Young Master Li was a little twitchy, he laughed and said, "There's nothing gratuitous about it, it's just that you're about the same age, and you even have children, so what's wrong with me being engaged?"
Chen Mu had a clear understanding of Young Master Li's temper, and squinted at Young Master Li: "There must be something wrong with you."
After a slight pause, he added with a hey smile: "There must be an ulterior reason for this."
Young Master Li also smiled, but didn't speak.
Chen Mu didn't ask any further questions, and just kept squinting at Young Master Li.
"What are you looking at?"
Young Master Li couldn't stand being disturbed by Chen Mu's gaze, and couldn't help but said, "Don't look at me, why don't you just get engaged, what about you?"
"Oh, yes, why don't you just get engaged, don't you?"
Chen Mu pouted and said, "You keep saying that I am your brother, and you don't want to tell me the reason for getting engaged in such a hurry, do you think that makes sense?"
Young Master Li thought for a while, but still didn't speak.
That hesitating expression seemed to be constipated.
"Didn't you say that Ma Yu wasn't your dish before? Why, you suddenly changed the menu now without a specific reason? Oh, don't tell me that you are tired of watching tablets and are going to change to curved screens."
Chen Mu continued to attack.
The more Young Master Li didn't want to talk about it, the bigger the gossip he felt was that it had to be clarified, and it was impossible to miss it.
After being taunted by Chen Mu for so long, Young Master Li finally couldn't take it anymore, and showed a broken expression: "Okay, okay, let me say, is it okay?"
"Okay, tell me!"
"It's nothing, just accidentally put her to sleep that day."
"What?"
Chen Mu was very happy when he heard the gossip he wanted to hear, but his face showed a distressed expression: "Why are you so careless? When did it happen?"
Young Master Li sighed and shook his head: "That day I took her and her younger brother to the hospital to see the little Ganoderma lucidum. In the evening we ate outside, drank some wine, and then fell asleep."
"Wait, let me stroke..."
Chen Mu blinked: "Is this your mistake after drinking, or is she using alcohol to commit crimes? Or... both of these, you two hit it off right away?"
"roll!"
Young Master Li also heard the teasing meaning in Chen Mu's words, and couldn't help but glared at him.
Chen Mu smiled unscrupulously: "Tell me the details quickly, you can't omit a single word."
Young Master Li rolled his eyes and sent details: "You also know how strong I am in this area. After I got drunk, I couldn't control it, so I went directly to a hotel next door with her. I'm a bit reserved, but buddy, I'm a hunk, if I take it off a little, the tendons all over my body will conquer her directly, you can touch it, these muscles are really hard... "
"Stop stop..."
Chen Mu couldn't listen anymore, and hastily gestured to stop: "I asked you to explain the details, not to make you flirt, you can't brag about your masculinity in front of your good brother, it's too disgusting ?”
Young Master Li "cut": "Isn't that what you want to hear?"
"That's not what I want to hear."
Chen Mu shook his head and asked, "I just want to know now, did you rape her, or did she rape you?"
After a slight pause, he added: "I want a real answer, you can't fool me."
Young Master Li twitched a bit, and then said: "Although the whole process, I did it to her, but I always feel...well, she did it to me."
"Hahaha… "
Chen Mu couldn't help laughing immediately, couldn't stop laughing, and covered his stomach.
"Smile, you!"
Young Master Li protested, but Chen Mu couldn't bear it.
He had felt that Ma Yu was a scheming girl before, and that a carefree person like Young Master Li couldn't play with her, so sure enough, someone did it for her.
"Almost there."
Young Master Li waited helplessly for Chen Mu to finish laughing before saying: "After that night, I woke up the next morning. I wanted to slip away, but I didn't expect her to wake up as soon as I moved, and she directly pulled me to confirm the relationship. Zhe didn’t even have it... Alas, things ended up like this in the end.”
After Chen Mu laughed, he looked at Young Master Li out of breath: "So, you've already made up your mind to marry someone else's girl, won't it change
Young Master Li's expression is a bit complicated: "My father and her father are comrades in arms in the army. They met when they were young. They died in a trench. This relationship cannot be broken. Since we are like her, I can only admit it."
"Say it as if you were at a disadvantage."
Chen Mu shook his head: "I think, the girl is pretty good, you won't suffer."
However, Chen Mu couldn't help joking again: "I'm really curious about how much wine you drank that day? Why did you lose your own aesthetics?"
"Let's not talk about this, anyway, it's a foregone conclusion, learn to adapt!"
Other men like Big Bear, but Young Master Li seems to be at a disadvantage from marrying a Big Bear's wife. This is really speechless.
He looked at Chen Mu and said, "I'm looking for you this time because I want you to accompany me to her house."
"What's the situation? You still want to take me with you when you go to the old man's house?"
"No, this is a custom in our hometown. Engagement also pays attention to back and forth. First, the man brings his friends and brothers to the woman's house to hand in an engagement letter, and then gives a gift. It can be regarded as a betrothal gift, and then the woman has to accept it. Return the gift to the man, so that the two parties can formally meet and enter into a marriage contract."
"You guys are very formal!"
Although Chen Mu had never seen such an engagement ceremony, he felt that there was something in it.
After thinking about it, he asked again: "Then who else will go besides me?"
Young Master Li said, "I called you."
Chen Mu thought for a while: "You said it earlier, I'll call Fatty and Brother Cheng up to show you off."
"No need, one brother is enough."
Young Master Li's words are quite elegant.
Chen Mu glanced at him angrily: "Where's Brother Chenping? He's your real brother, isn't he going?"
"He's not free, don't go!"
Young Master Li added: "I didn't want him to go either. He was uncomfortable with him. He has become almost like my father now. Every time he sees me, he just keeps saying that he can't bear it."
Chen Mu heard that there was no way out, so he could only accompany Young Master Li on this trip alone.
Young Master Li went on to say, "I've already booked the air tickets. We'll go to Muqi City tomorrow morning. When we arrive, Ma Yu will arrange someone to pick us up. Just follow me."
Chen Mu gave Young Master Li a meaningful look, and felt that this guy was emboldened to drag him away, as if there was no need for etiquette, and there was a pitfall in it.
Of course, regardless of whether it was a trap or not, it would have come if it didn’t come, and Chen Mu had no room to hide from the trap, so he could only bite the bullet and accompany him.
…
The next day, Chen Mu and Master Li flew to Mu Qi, and of course Xiao Wu and Zhang Xinnian followed.
As soon as the four of them got out of the airport, they saw the person who picked them up.
"Brother Mu, are you tired? Hey, brother-in-law."
The person who picked them up was none other than Ma Yu's younger brother Ma Hao.
It is said that according to the custom, engaged men and women cannot meet each other for three days before the engagement ceremony, so Ma Yu cannot come to pick up Young Master Li in person.
It feels like the engagement ceremony is not much different from the wedding ceremony.
When Master Li heard Ma Hao's greeting, he immediately became upset: "I said, Haozi, I won't take you like this. I'm almost becoming your brother-in-law now. You didn't greet me first, but Chen Mu first. You are too Is it not important?"
Ever since he knew that Chen Mu was the one who fought terrorists in Sudan, Ma Hao was very enthusiastic about Chen Mu, and he really became a fan.
So when greetings, call Chen Mu first, and then it's Young Master Li's turn.
Because of this, Young Master Li became a bit apprehensive.
Ma Hao chuckled, and felt that he was acting a bit obvious, and quickly explained: "Brother-in-law, we are on our own. Brother Mu came here with you this time, so it is right to greet him first."
Young Master Li looked helplessly at his future brother-in-law, and didn't want to continue talking about this topic.
Ma Hao took the initiative to accept the salute from Chen Mu and Young Master Li, and walked towards his car: "I know you four, I borrowed an Odyssey from a friend today, I will take you to the place where you live first, and then go to eat later." lunch."
After getting in the car, he said again: "I also made an appointment with a few other friends, all of whom are children of my dad's friends and colleagues here. We will have a meal together and get to know each other. At the engagement ceremony, they will also be friends." will come."
Young Master Li and Chen Mu didn't have any objections. Anyway, they came this time because they were going to hand over the hundred catties to the woman, so Ma Hao arranged it as they wished.
The place where they live is a single-family villa in a sanatorium, and the environment and supporting facilities are quite good.
After putting down their salutes, they immediately headed towards the reserved restaurant without stopping.
The restaurant is a relatively private club. According to Ma Hao, the owner of this club used to be a chef in the army and cooked meals for many leaders.
Later, the chef came out and opened such a restaurant by himself, and the business was very good. Most people couldn't get a seat at all. It was because of Ma Hao's father that they could only eat this meal today.
After several people entered, there were already people waiting in the room.
As soon as Ma Hao entered the door, someone greeted him loudly: "Why are you here so late? Is the plane late?"
"The plane is still on time, but there is a bit of traffic jam on the road."
After Ma Hao replied with a smile, he began to introduce these people to Young Master Li and Chen Mu.
When Ma Hao introduced those people, he only introduced the names, and he only said about the background, "This is the child of my father's comrade-in-arms Uncle Liu", "This is the child of my father's classmate Uncle Zhang" and so on.
The same is true when introducing Young Master Li and Chen Mu, and they will not introduce them in too much detail.
After everyone got to know each other, the overall atmosphere was relatively harmonious. After all, the people who could sit at the table were all members of the Ma family, so they treated Young Master Li and Chen Shaojie very respectfully.
After everyone arrived, the food came out quickly.
Because all the people at the table are young people, there is no shortage of drinks, and it is even more normal to toast each other.
Several people made a toast to Young Master Li and Chen Mu, and when the toast came to Chen Mu, he declined them all.
Everyone saw that Chen Mu really didn't drink, and he didn't force it, so he started drinking with Master Li instead.
In the middle of drinking, Chen Mu answered a phone call from Zuo Qingfeng, so he had to go out to answer the phone.
"What's the matter, Uncle Zuo?"
"Yang Jun broke into my office this morning, saying that he wanted to have a good talk with me about investment."
"oh?"
Chen Mu asked curiously, "Why?"
Zuo Qingfeng lowered his voice slightly on the other end of the phone: "I heard that Yang Jun and the others are leaving, and their company is planning to transfer them away."
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that they will not be in charge of our projects in the future. According to him, it seems that the former people will come back."
"Uncle Zuo, why would he tell you this?"
"He said that even if the former people come back, they will not be able to give them the conditions they are now. He actually means that the conditions he gave us are the best. He hopes that we can conclude an investment agreement with him."
"It turned out to be like this..."
Chen Mu thinks that this should be Huang's private boss who is trying his best, so CDBIC is already preparing to change people to take charge of their projects.
Zuo Qingfeng went on to say: "The people in the forest farm said that Yang Jun went to the forest farm early yesterday morning, not knowing what he wanted to do, and then came to me again today... Well, I feel that they are already in a hurry and don't care about it." I don't care."
Chen Mu thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about him, we wanted to change people at first, and this is just right now, we will continue to talk after we change people."
After a slight pause, he said again: "Uncle Zuo, I will trouble you with this matter, let Lao Tian continue to follow up, and try to negotiate a better condition... Uh, it doesn't matter even if you can't meet the conditions set by Yang Jun and the others, we It is mainly due to the resources of SDIC, not this condition."
"Okay, I see."
The two said a few more words before ending the call.
After Chen Mu made the phone call, he turned around and walked into the clubhouse.
Passing by the bathroom outside the lobby of the clubhouse, I just felt a little anxious, so I walked in.
When it was convenient, I suddenly heard the door of the bathroom rang, and two or three people came in one after another.
"Xiaoquan, you are close to Haozi, have you heard him talk about the two buddies who came today?"
One of them spoke.
When Chen Mu heard this, he blinked his eyes immediately.
Because the person who spoke should be one of the people who had dinner together just now.
And the "Xiaoquan" in the words is another person.
Soon, "Xiaoquan" also spoke: "No, I know all of Brother Haozi's friends. I haven't met these two, so it's probably not from our Mu Qi."
The voice of the third person: "I really didn't expect that Ma Yu was going to get engaged. I didn't hear any rumors before. This secret work is really good enough."
The first person: "The question is who are these two people? They don't seem to be in the army. Where did this come from?"
Xiaoquan said: "I'll inquire later, don't worry, I'll tell you when I inquire clearly."
