Upon seeing the message sent by Ji Liyun, Mu Qingyan thought he was joking and continued with the meeting.

As he had been on the set for half a month, many minor issues were handled directly by the two deputy general managers and several department heads.

They were afraid of disturbing Mu Qingyan’s filming, so they didn’t regularly report to him about MU’s recent developments.

Therefore, this meeting alone took two hours for each department to report on their work progress, followed by another two hours to discuss the year-end work plan, including special activities for Christmas and New Year.

Although it had only been three months since he arrived, the MU staff had already adapted to Mu Qingyan’s work pace and were even pleased with it.

This was because Mu Qingyan’s decisions were always very wise and accurate, resulting in a doubling of MU brand sales every month.

This also meant that the year-end bonuses for MU employees would also double, and money and a sense of achievement always complemented each other.

Before the meeting ended, many department heads voluntarily reported on their plans for the following year. As a result, the meeting didn’t end until 8 pm.

Mu Qingyan saw that everyone who attended the meeting was still energetic and seemed to have more things to report, so he joked, “You guys aren’t hungry after six hours of consecutive meetings, but I am.”

Qiao Lengnan, who had been promoted from department head to deputy general manager for successfully completing the autumn product launch, said, “Mr. Mu worked so hard on the set yesterday and was so scared. We should be more considerate of him and let him rest.”

The others nodded in agreement.

Many people asked, “Mr. Mu, have they caught the culprit yet?”

Mu Qingyan shook his head and replied, “Not yet, but the police are investigating.”

Then he said, “Although I have to film in the next two months, I will still attend the biweekly and monthly meetings as usual. Let’s end the meeting for today.”

Mu Qingyan handed over the meeting materials to Ye Qiqi and asked her to organize them.

Ye Qiqi whispered, “Boss, President Ji is here.”

“When did he arrive?” Mu Qingyan asked.

“He arrived around three in the afternoon, but he didn’t want to disturb your meeting, so he told me not to tell you,” Ye Qiqi said as she and Mu Qingyan entered the elevator. After pressing the button for the 16th floor, she continued, “I just went up to get some files for you and saw that he was still here.”

“Okay, I see,” Mu Qingyan replied.

Ding-

The elevator doors opened and a gentle mechanical female voice announced, “16th floor reached.”

Mu Qingyan walked to his office as if nothing had happened and saw Ji Liyun sitting on the sofa with his arms crossed, looking black-faced, waiting for her.

He walked up to him, personally poured some water into his tea cup, and said with a smile, “Who made our Mr. Ji angry?”

“Who else could it be?” Ji Liyun was still angry and took a sip of his tea. “I told you to rest properly, but you didn’t listen. You’ve been in meetings for so long, don’t you care about your health?”

Mu Qingyan knew he was concerned about her and still smiled, “I’m bored at home.”

Ji Liyun clearly didn’t accept this explanation. He said, “I’ll take you out for dinner and send you home.”

“I’ll just ask Ye Qiqi to order takeout for me,” Mu Qingyan opened his computer and said, “I still have work to do. I’ll go home later.”

Ji Liyun was both angry and amused. He thought he was a workaholic, but he had reduced his workload a lot to pursue Mu Qingyan. Now, looking at him, he was crazier than he used to be when he was buried in work.

He directly grabbed Mu Qingyan’s right hand, pulled her up from the leather chair, and said without giving her a chance to refuse, “Work is never finished. Come on, I’ll take you somewhere.”

“What?” Mu Qingyan stared at Ji Liyun with wide eyes.

On weekdays, although Ji Liyun had a domineering image, he was always gentle and polite towards Mu Qingyan, and everything went along with his wishes. This was the first time Ji Liyun had directly dragged him out of the office.

As Mu Qingyan’s personal secretary, Ye Qiqi’s desk was at the door of the general manager’s office. She was stunned to see this scene.

Although Mu Qingyan allowed Ji Liyun to pull him out of the office, he was still very hesitant and hesitant to speak.

Ji Liyun seemed to see through his thoughts and said, “Don’t hesitate anymore. I’ll help you with the work that you can’t finish.”

Mu Qingyan sighed lightly, “Okay, but this won’t happen again.”

Originally, Mu Qingyan thought that Ji Liyun was only taking him out to eat, and then he would be sent back home, just like before.

But this time, after finishing dinner, Ji Liyun didn’t send him back to the villa as usual. Instead, he let the driver drive the Rolls-Royce directly to Ji’s private airport.

The night wind was chilly, and Ji Liyun’s private plane had already started in front of the car.

Mu Qingyan followed Ji Liyun out of the car and walked into his private plane, asking, “You said you were taking me to a place. It won’t be another province, right?”

After the two of them were seated, Ji Liyun said something on the intercom and then said mysteriously to Mu Qingyan, “Guess.”

Ji Liyun’s private plane took off, and Mu Qingyan watched as the city lights outside the window turned into a galaxy of stars. He trusted Ji Liyun very much and knew that he wouldn’t sell him out.

But just because Ji Liyun had arranged everything so clearly for the whole night, he inexplicably felt a little annoyed and pursed his lips, saying, “I won’t guess.”

“If you don’t want to guess, then don’t,” Ji Liyun gently covered Mu Qingyan with a thin blanket and said in a warm voice, “It’s very late now, go to sleep. When you wake up, we’ll be there.”

Mu Qingyan was a little bedridden. Even in the extremely luxurious and comfortable private plane, he still couldn’t sleep well and woke up five or six times in the middle of the night.

But seeing Ji Liyun sleeping soundly, he didn’t disturb him and continued to rest his eyes.

By the time the plane landed, it was already past seven in the morning.

This is a very famous island with beautiful scenery and comfortable temperature. Although it is far away from their home country, Country C, it is indeed the preferred destination for overseas leisure vacations.

Ji Liyun noticed that Mu Qingyan’s eyes were tinged with a dark shade, so he knew that he had not slept well last night.

He led Mu Qingyan into the car heading to the hotel and said, “I have already booked two cliffside hotel rooms by the sea, daily necessities and new clothes for changing are also placed in your room. Let’s have breakfast at the hotel and take a nap later.”

Mu Qingyan realized for the first time that Ji Liyun was actually quite thoughtful. He nodded with a heavy head and didn’t say anything, instead taking a nap in the car.

In Ji Liyun’s eyes, since Mu Qingyan’s divorce, he had only focused on work without any leisure activities.

And Mu Qingyan himself felt a little tired of dealing with scumbags and working hard every day since he transmigrated into this world.

After arriving at the hotel, he did not have breakfast but went straight to wash up, change into pajamas, and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.

He rubbed his eyes and instinctively reached for his phone, informing his parents in the family chat about his vacation overseas, then sent a message to Ye Qiqi, stating that he would be on vacation for a few days and that the company could contact him if there were any urgent matters.

Shen Xiaoxiao asked in the group chat, “How did my son suddenly go on vacation to Saint Island?”

Mu Qingyan replied truthfully, “Ji Liyun brought me here.”

Mu Yuchen, who rarely replied, said, “Take a good rest, don’t worry about the company’s affairs.”

At this point, Ye Qiqi also replied, “Don’t worry, Boss, take a good rest.”

Mu Qingyan thought about it and felt that he definitely couldn’t handle any work in the next few days, so he might as well just enjoy his vacation.

He walked out to the balcony to breathe in the salty sea air and wake up his mind. To his surprise, Ji Liyun was on the next balcony, lying on a sun lounger, drinking juice and enjoying the sun.

What’s more, their balcony doors were actually connected to each other.

Mu Qingyan was infected by Ji Liyun’s carefree attitude and felt more relaxed and in a better mood. He leaned lazily on the balcony railing and asked, “What are you doing?”

Ji Liyun smiled and waved at him, “Come over.”
