Capítulo 1486: Chapter 1499
Mu Bingtong looked at the spot Chu Ge pointed out and gently leaned over, a faint fragrance drifting into Chu Ge’s nose.
Chu Ge’s mind wavered for a moment; this scent was very familiar.
Mu Bingtong looked at the place Chu Ge pointed out, thought for a moment, and indeed found a noticeable problem, just as Chu Ge mentioned.
She looked at Chu Ge with surprise, “You’ve learned a lot during your time in the Capital City.”
Chu Ge did not explain much; he merely smiled, “It’s alright. This contract can be signed, but it needs to be redrafted. You can have your legal advisor draft the contract anew, negotiate with the other party, and if there are differing opinions, then negotiate further.”
Mu Bingtong pondered for a moment, “Do you know who this person is?”
Chu Ge glanced at the contract and said, “Isn’t it written here? The Wei Group.”
Mu Bingtong looked at him in surprise, “You don’t mind?”
Chu Ge was startled, then recalled what Li Hua had mentioned to him before; it seemed there was some animosity between them and Wei Yu.
“A businessman only has cooperative partners, not a single enemy. Since the other party intends to cooperate with us, we should proceed according to the process without mixing in anything else.”
Mu Bingtong was even more surprised, “This doesn’t seem like your style.”
Chu Ge smiled faintly, emanating an elegant aura that was completely different from the past; he seemed like a different person.
Mu Bingtong felt something was strange, but then she thought it might be because he spent too much time in the Capital City, influenced by those big bosses, so she didn’t mind too much.
“I’ll be returning to the Capital City in a few days.”
Chu Ge said.
Mu Bingtong was startled, then nodded, “Alright.”
There weren’t many words, which was always Mu Bingtong’s nature; no matter what Chu Ge said, she would always respond with a simple ‘okay’.
“Take care of yourself.”
Mu Bingtong added.
Chu Ge nodded, “Then…”
Suddenly, he didn’t know what to say. Initially, he came to find her just to take a distant look, but eventually, he couldn’t resist coming over to sit face-to-face with her.
“You take good care of yourself too.”
It’s not easy for a woman to manage such a large group; as a man, he sometimes feels exhausted late at night, let alone for her.
Mu Bingtong hummed in response, “Let’s have a meal together when there’s time.”
She looked at Chu Ge, with a hint of expectation in her eyes. Chu Ge hadn’t stayed at home or had a meal together since returning.
Chu Ge thought for a moment. Although he wanted to agree, he knew Li Hua would not approve.
“We’ll see, I’m a bit busy.”
Chu Ge said.
Mu Bingtong responded with an ‘oh’, and then fell silent.
Chu Ge was somewhat surprised by Mu Bingtong’s attitude; although she seemed cold, there was a caring concern in her eyes, yet her demeanor gave him a sense of coldness and separation.
This behavior was entirely different from the Mu Bingtong he knew.
He didn’t know why he suddenly started feeling a bit resistant towards the Mu Bingtong in front of him.
In reality, Chu Ge didn’t know that Mu Bingtong was aware of the things he did that she couldn’t understand or unable to comprehend — some involving danger. Rather than knowing and worrying, it was better to stay uninformed so she could feel better.

“Since you’re busy, go ahead with your work; I need to return to the company.”
Mu Bingtong put away the contract and spoke to Chu Ge.
Chu Ge nodded, watching her leave.
After Mu Bingtong left, Jian Chunqiu emerged from the shadows, “Alright, we’ve fulfilled your wish. Can you return to the Capital City with us now?”
“Yes.”
…
In this city, fresh graduates all harbor a big dream.
That is to work for the Huangpu Group.
Even as a security guard or a receptionist, when asked, as long as the Huangpu name was mentioned, they’d walk with a sense of pride.
Upon entering the company, Nangong Yang excitedly looked around, discovering new wonders everywhere.
The understated decor exuded a luxurious style fitting Emperor Puchen’s personality.
Everyone dressed formally, walking briskly, with expressions devoid of emotion.
Nangong Yang pouted; even the employees were like Emperor Puchen—cold, devoid of any humor.
They merely told her not to wander before attending to their own affairs.
Left to her own devices, Nangong Yang intentionally “wandered” about, not because she enjoyed it, but because she simply couldn’t find the elevator.
She wanted to ask someone but, faced with faces aloof and distant, she couldn’t intercept anyone in their haste.
Everyone acted as if she was invisible, ignoring her presence.
Grasping her phone, Nangong Yang hesitated to call Dian, until she noticed a familiar figure swiftly entering through the main entrance.
It was Lin An.
Lin An, engrossed in a phone call, hurried past without giving Nangong Yang a chance to call out before disappearing into the lobby.
“In such a hurry?” Nangong Yang mumbled.
Withdrawing her outstretched hand, she shrugged.
Lost in her circles at the first floor, like traversing a maze, Nangong Yang frustratedly scratched her head. Lin An had headed this way, so how could she not find it?
Passing by a break room, faint murmurs caught her ear.
“Did you know? The president spent three months finding a personal secretary meeting all qualifications, only to have her assigned to the finance department with Li Xing.”
“No idea what kind of magic potion she gave Minister Li, but now Gao Yanrou manages all documents requiring presidential review for the finance department.”
“The president seems to highly appreciate her work. He praised her just the other day.”
“This Gao Yanrou must be incredibly stunning, though our ‘idol’ president already has someone special.”
“Neither married; anyone can compete with the rumored girlfriend. Yet, proximity to the presidential suite is favorable—do you think Gao Yanrou could potentially win over the president?”
Nangong Yang stood at the door, unsure of their subject yet recognized Emperor Puchen’s connection through their conversation.
She instinctively held her breath, listening; immersed in eavesdropping, she forgot her original purpose, joining the gossip indirectly.
The break room gossipers remained engrossed, oblivious to the addition of another listener.
Without reservations, Nangong Yang grabbed some sunflower seeds from the table, nibbling while listening, occasionally nodding in agreement with an “really?”
