Chapter 169 - 169: Go to Your Battlefield
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
In the early morning of June 4th, Qiao Yin, with her suitcase, took a taxi to the airport.
After meeting Dongfang Mu at the airport, she boarded the plane with him and flew to Finland.
A total of twelve people were accompanying Dongfang Mu on this business trip. Apart from Secretary Wan, whom Qiao Yin had met before, she did not know the rest.
However, Dongfang Mu gave her some material the night before, briefly introducing everyone, and she had memorized everyone’s names, appearances, expertise, etc.
They arrived in Finland at seven in the morning local time and checked into their hotel.
Qiao Yin, having slept on the plane, felt relatively refreshed.
After a simple breakfast, she took a shower, blew her hair dry, put on light makeup, and changed into a slightly formal milky white suit dress.
Putting on her high heels, she checked herself in the mirror, making sure there were no issues with her appearance, then picked up her laptop bag and knocked on Dongfang Mu’s room door.
The door was opened by Secretary Wan, “Miss Qiao, please come in. Young Master Mu is on the phone. We’ll depart for the venue in a little while.”
Qiao Yin nodded, thanked him politely, and sat on the sofa to wait for Dongfang Mu.
While waiting, she busied herself by going through a stack of documents.
In actuality, she had reviewed these documents numerous times already and was extremely familiar with their contents.
The reason for their trip was to secure a collaboration project with Siya Automobiles.
Siya Automobiles was a European company that specialized in the production of new energy vehicles. However, since last year, Siya’s cars had been plagued by system failures often resulting in fatal accidents for the car owners.
Originally the top electric car company in the world, their car sales had drastically plummeted this year, and their quarterly revenue had fallen out of the top five.
To resolve their technical problems, Siya planned to develop a new system in collaboration with globally renowned corporations. The Shengling Group and the Eastern Empire Group had both been invited.
Of course, besides them, more than a dozen corporations from other countries were also in attendance.
Among these companies, Shengling Group was the most powerful. They had collaborated with Siya for many years, and due to the established trust, they were the most formidable competitors for the Eastern Empire Group.
Dongfang Mu finished his call and stood beside Qiao Yin.
The amazement in his eyes was impossible to conceal: “Qiao Yin, you really…”
Qiao Yin swiftly got up, somewhat confused, “What’s the matter, Young Master Mu? Is there something wrong with me? It’s my first time attending such a meeting. I’m not very clear about the etiquette, so please advise.”
“There’s nothing wrong.”
Dongfang Mu took in her flawless complexion and smiled softly: “I was just saying that you’re breathtakingly beautiful, it’s hard for me to take my eyes off you.”
“If Young Master Mu has the leisure to joke around, it seems you must be quite confident about the project.”
“I am confident in you.”
Dongfang Mu maintained his warmth, though there was a slight aggression in his gaze.
He had to admire himself, in the face of such a beauty as Qiao Yin, he managed to keep his hands to himself and focus on work instead.
If Qiao Yin were not so capable, he might have tried everything in his power to pursue her.
But because her abilities were exceptional and he needed them to help him win today’s deal.
So, she earned the right to be treated seriously and the right to be respected for all her decisions.
Secretary Wan came over to remind, “Master Mu, it’s time. We should be going.”
Dongfang Mu glanced at Qiao Yin and smoothed her already perfect collar: “Let’s go, it’s time for your battlefield.”
The moment his hand extended towards her, Qiao Yin resisted the urge to recoil. She allowed his hand to fall onto her collar.
Fortunately, he made no further moves, allowing her to exhale in relief.
Thankfully, Dongfang Mu was a man who knew his limits.
After smoothing her collar, he turned around and walked out..
