After being reborn, who wouldn't want to have a younger sister?

Chapter 523 Diverting Conflicts
"Your two little beauties won't let you wear stockings?"

Su Muqing lightly kicked the toes of her shoes, glancing at him with a half-smile.

"They can still show it, but not this year."

Xu Mingyuan sighed and looked away. He had to admit that Su Muqing was a very feminine woman, especially after a period of time managing the company, she exuded a unique charm.

Confident, composed, and with a touch of laziness outside of work.

The only thing missing is the experience of falling from the peak to the trough, which makes Su Muqing lack the composure that Xu Mingyuan remembered.

"You're not letting us see it anymore? I remember Tao Tao wore it last year."

Su Muqing recalled that Tao Shuxin's outfit of denim shorts and stockings last summer had a kind of rustic yet unconventional feel to it.

It's not that it looks bad, but it's definitely not a good match.

I won't wear it this year.

Xu Mingyuan sighed. Tao Shuxin was in no mood to buy stockings. She'd be lucky if she didn't tie them around his neck.

"Where's my sister? Does she never wear anything? I've never seen her wear shorts, and I don't think she's ever worn a skirt."

“She’ll wear it too. If Tao Shuxin doesn’t buy any more, then she won’t have anything to wear.”

"Giggle..."

Xu Mingyuan's answer surprised Su Muqing, who immediately covered her mouth and giggled softly.

"What are you laughing at?"

Xu Mingyuan was already annoyed, and seeing her laughing incessantly only made him more annoyed.

"Aren't you going to buy any? I have some, all from good brands. Wait for me to get you two new ones," Su Muqing said with a smile.

"Stay there for a while."

"Do you want the old one? You can take the one I'm wearing back?"

Su Muqing put her hands inside the skirt suit, posing as if she was about to take it off.

In the closed office, Xu Mingyuan, sitting opposite her on the sofa in the reception area, watched as she lowered her crossed legs and then straightened them.

Xu Mingyuan really wanted to bend down and see what was underneath her skirt, which she had lifted a little bit with her hands.

But in the end, he looked away and said with great annoyance, "Get lost, get lost, why are you everywhere?"

"You like to joke around, I thought you were going to put me in this position."

Su Muqing smiled and withdrew her hand, giving each other a way to save face.

Xu Mingyuan does have some perverse tastes, but he must control the degree of perversion.

What if Su Muqing really takes her clothes off? With this checkmate tactic, should Xu Mingyuan accept it or not?

Xu Mingyuan figured she probably wouldn't accept it. Su Muqing always dressed like a career woman in stockings and high heels; if she took off her shoes, she'd probably smell sour.

But that's not necessarily true. A woman like Su Muqing who pays so much attention to her personal image might actually be well-maintained...

Why did you decide to move?

Xu Mingyuan chose to skip the heart-pounding topic and casually changed the subject.

“The company is very busy, it’s a waste to spend some of our energy on daily life. We might as well hire someone to take care of it. Hey, how about we go for a visit?” Su Muqing said.

"No, what's there to see at your house?"

"It's over there on the Jiangnan waterfront, not far from here."

"Jiangnan by the water? Wow, Sister Qing has made it big, she even lives in a villa now," Xu Mingyuan said.

"I can't compare to you, the big boss," Su Muqing said with a smile.

"Shui'an Jiangnan isn't far from your home, is it? Why don't you just go home and stay there?" Xu Mingyuan asked casually.

"Living with my parents is nice, but it's not very convenient. They ask all sorts of questions every day, it's a real headache," Su Muqing said, rubbing her forehead.

"I thought you would stick to the image of a hardworking female entrepreneur, but you're already starting to enjoy yourself?"

"I'm nothing compared to this. You're calling me a female entrepreneur? Stop mocking me. I just do what makes me happy. It's exhausting to be on edge all the time."

Su Muqing stretched her waist and tightened the buttons on her chest.

Su Muqing didn't particularly like wearing tight and restrictive business attire, but she was used to it.

If a woman is running a business, and her attire isn't a bit rigid and formulaic, she'll appear less imposing and less able to command her subordinates.

Su Muqing also wanted to be like Xu Mingyuan, wearing casual clothes and wandering around all day, but she didn't have his skills, so she had to maintain the image of a strong woman and not let anyone easily see through her.

"Yes, being comfortable is more important than anything else."

These words seemed to be addressed to her, but also to himself; in any case, Xu Mingyuan hadn't been feeling very comfortable lately.

"Did the chairman recently change his car?"

Sensing that Xu Mingyuan wasn't in a good mood, Su Muqing changed the subject. "My dad?"

"Ah."

Su Muqing nodded.

“My dad likes cars, and he can change them whenever he wants.”

"Why don't you get a new one? Why are you still driving your old, beat-up A6? Is it really necessary to save a few bucks?" Su Muqing asked.

"What do you mean by an old, beat-up A6? Most Chinese people can't afford a car these days. Cars are a luxury. My dream is to break the foreign monopoly and make cars affordable for everyone. Would I do something that benefits the enemy?" Xu Mingyuan said casually.

"Really?"

Su Muqing was stunned, never expecting Xu Mingyuan to have such lofty ideals.

"fake."

The future of new energy is a hot trend, a trend where you can make a lot of money by getting subsidies, but Xu Mingyuan would not do something like defrauding subsidies, nor did he think that far ahead.

If we can accelerate the development of new energy sources over the next few years, that would be great. If not, it would be good to make some money by taking advantage of the trend.

As for changing cars, let's figure out how to drive Tao Tao's car first.

Su Muqing couldn't fathom the truth behind Xu Mingyuan's words, but he had said he enjoyed guessing what people were thinking, so she decided to let him guess as much as he wanted.

If we keep guessing, the answers we get will definitely get further and further away from reality.

Su Muqing was too lazy to guess anymore and changed the subject, asking, "Why didn't Tao Tao come? Weren't you going to transfer the shares of Jiugongge to her?"

"Sigh, let's talk about it later."

Xu Mingyuan originally thought that chatting with Su Muqing would be easy, since this woman had high emotional intelligence. However, she kept bringing up sensitive topics, making Xu Mingyuan even more troubled.

"Later? You two started arguing?"

"They didn't argue, they just had a disagreement."

"Is it because of my sister?"

"Why do you have so many questions? Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

Xu Mingyuan didn't want to talk about it anymore. The atmosphere at home had been very strange lately. Even though there was nothing going on at the company these days, he was reluctant to go home early, and he didn't know when it would end.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan's troubled expression, Su Muqing roughly guessed that it was because his affair had been exposed.

Su Muqing found it quite strange. They had been spending so much time together, so why were conflicts only arising now? She used to think that Xu Mingyuan was clever enough to manage their close relationship, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

"Then why did you come to my company today?" Su Muqing asked.

"Let's chat. What are you doing here?" Xu Mingyuan said.

"Aren't you afraid your sister will find out?"

"What am I afraid of? I told her before I came."

Where is Tao Tao?

A few days ago, Su Muqing contacted Tao Shuxin alone, but Tao Shuxin's attitude was lukewarm. Su Muqing didn't even need to test her before she guessed the reason.

It's probably because he's getting too close to Xu Mingyuan that the little girl is unhappy about it.

"Tao Tao? Xiao Yangzhi is subtly telling her to stay away from you," Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Then why did you come to see me? I thought you were a busy person with something important to do. Is it just to chat?" Su Muqing asked with a sour tone.

"Ah."

Xu Mingyuan smiled at her but didn't explain.

"You did this on purpose?"

Su Muqing was very clever and understood what Xu Mingyuan meant.

"you guess."

"why?"

Su Muqing didn't guess; she chose to ask directly.

"To shift internal conflicts, first create a common enemy to unite them in hatred."

Xu Mingyuan didn't hide anything and told her very frankly.

"Heh, I've found you to be quite a jerk."

Su Muqing took a deep breath and finally said with a smile.

"Tao Tao often says this to me: 'A businessman should consider his own interests first. Haven't you learned that yet?'" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Almost there." Su Muqing buttoned up her suit jacket, walked up to him with the crisp sound of her heels, and gently patted his shoulder, saying, "Let's go. Don't just sit around, help inspect the place. Profits come first, after all."
