Chapter 572: The Sun That Never Sets (2)

After a simple breakfast, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye went straight back to Maple Residence.

Xi Xiaye slept till noon, so she was quite energetic. She went straight to the study room, intending to finish the data that she had cast aside. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival the next day, and she would return to the Shen residence to accompany Shen Yue who was at the Shen residence alone. Because she was more or less worried, Shen Wenna had previously reminded her to check on him too.

At this moment, inside the quiet and vast study room, Xi Xiaye was sitting before the study table and staring at the laptop screen before her with full concentration while Mu Yuchen lay on the lounge chair next to the bookshelf to read.

"Right, yesterday, the Administrative Department handed the documents in. It's for you to sign. Oh, and I forgot to tell you that the Administrative Department has been working on some office culture. Is it too much? It clashes with the PR Department a little."

Xi Xiaye studied the data on her screen when she suddenly remembered yesterday.

"The Administrative Department?" Mu Yuchen softly muttered as he looked up from the page to her. After he thought about it, he recalled. "You can make the decision. Manager Liu, who was just transferred over and previously did events, seems to have some conflict with you. She prepared the proposal, and she said that she'd like to properly promote the Imperial Sky Entertainment City during the National Day period."

When she heard Mu Yuchen, Xi Xiaye raised her brows and said softly, "A new broom sweeps clean [1], doesn't it?" She opened the document in her hand again. "Previously, I felt like because of my relationship with her, it was better for you to handle these things. Even though Manager Liu and I aren't quite on the same page, capability-wise, I do recognize her. I've seen her in negotiations with clients before. She does have a way with them. I do think that she can do better than the Administrative Department."

When he heard her, Mu Yuchen instantly smiled and stared at her through narrowed eyes. "I thought that you should at least complain about her to me, yet you spoke for her instead."

Xi Xiaye shrugged. "I've always been clear at differentiating work and personal matters. From the company's point of view, I obviously hope that her capabilities can be fully utilized."

He smiled and was about to say something when Sis Wang suddenly knocked on the door. "Master Mu, Master Ah Mo is here! He's downstairs and he says there's an important matter." Her respectful voice came from outside the door.

Ah Mo?

Mu Yuchen frowned slightly. He thought about it, then closed his book and got up. "I'll go down to take a look," he said. Upon seeing Xi Xiaye nod, he left the study room.

On the sofa in the living room downstairs, Ah Mo was already waiting. There was a faint joy on his expression that could not be concealed. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately looked up at the staircase.

Once Ah Mo saw Mu Yuchen, he quickly went up to him. "Master!"

Mu Yuchen waved and indicated for him to sit back down as he slowly walked over. "What is it? You look quite pleased." He smiled and then turned to Sis Wang. "Sis Wang, bring us two cups of Blue Mountain coffee."

"Master, I thought you didn't like coffee." Ah Mo smiled.

"But I remember that you quite like Blue Mountain coffee. Yesterday, I was planning on meeting you for a chat, but after I finished the discussion with Father, it was already quite late. It's been quite busy at the entertainment club recently. Have you been quite exhausted too?"

"It's alright. I'm just worried that Lingshi's overworked. We've changed to a new set of sound systems, so she's been busy testing it out recently."

"Entertainment City is on the right track now although she's been worried about it too. I think I don't have to state my intentions of transferring you to be the executive manager at Imperial Sky so obviously."

Mu Yuchen's tone was casual, yet Ah Mo could hear the warmth in it.

Sis Wang quickly made two cups of coffee and served them.

After a while, Ah Mo softly spoke and sipped his coffee, "Thank you, Brother."

Mu Yuchen nodded. "What is it? Tell me."

When he heard this, Ah Mo set his cup aside and took out a few pictures from his pocket as he said, "Master, something's happened."

He handed the pictures over to Mu Yuchen as he explained, "As you ordered, after we sent our people away, we've been listening in to her ward. We realize that she did, in fact, call Qi Qiming. In fact, Qi Qiming and Yue Hai went over to visit her. The person in the picture is Yue Hai. From the looks of it, Qi Qiming could very possibly be the mysterious Mr. Wen."

Mu Yuchen flipped through the pictures. He did recognize Yue Hai as the person in it. After a momentary thought, he said softly, "If he's Mr. Wen, then he should know some things about Aunty. Check if Aunty had any connections with him previously. Also, arrange for me to personally meet Sis Wang tomorrow morning."

"Got it, Master!"

Ah Mo took the photos back. When he saw that he looked hesitant, he could not help but ask, "Master, don't you think Qi Qiming is behaving suspiciously?"

Mu Yuchen drank some coffee, then responded, "Yeah, he is. In fact, just with that incident alone, to go against me, he didn't spare threatening your sis-in-law. This shows that something must've happened to Qi Feng. However, what I don't understand is that if Qi Qiming is really intent on taking revenge against me, he should suppress me by winning me by surprise when I'm not ready and caught off-guard. Why does he have to warn me like this, and let me have my guard up instead? Based on my understanding of Qi Qiming, he wouldn't have done this so dumbly by himself. His abnormality makes me find it even odder instead." He finally raised his doubts after thinking about it.

"Qi Qiming has matured from his experience with Wang Qin. He has a lot of patience and always likes to win by surprise, unconsciously delivering a fatal blow. That's more like his sort of trick, and not appearing so brazenly, warning me, letting me watch him closely. It's the same logic as him supporting Xi Xinyi. If I guess correctly, then Qi Qiming should be quite ambitious. He wants to have the whole of Qi Kai. That means we have a problem. Doesn't him doing that mean that I'm working with Wang Qin?"

When he heard Mu Yuchen say this, Ah Mo was stunned. He thought about it in detail and felt that he did make sense.

"Master, you're saying..." Ah Mo felt tensed just looking at Mu Yuchen. Suddenly, he felt like there was a conspiracy.

"I feel like there's something that's been leading us along. Don't forget why we looked for Lu Xinlan previously, but now that we found out about these things, it seems to be related to the mysterious Mr. Wen instead. Don't you find that weird? What did we miss out on? Don't you feel it too?"
