The Transmigration Missions Are Not Scientific Ch.30

Chapter 30-CEO novel (10)

Two days quickly passed by…..

I feel so nervous! Gu Anran rubbed her hands together as she fidgeted in her seat. They were in a meeting with the other executives at the Mu company, but Gu Anran was nervous about the afternoon test later today. 

She tried to calm down and relax, distracting herself by turning her attention back to the meeting. As Mu Qingli’s secretary, she sat in the chair that was to the left rear and it gave her a clear view of everything. 

“What is this?! Who came up with this horrible plan!” The documents were sent flying as they slammed against the table. The noisiest of them all was Mu Qingyan, who had stayed in the hospital for a day before coming back to make trouble. 

Her sprained foot was resting on another chair and there was even a comfortable pillow under it. Her secretary was also rubbing her shoulders and there was a glass of sparkling water in her hands that she sipped every so often. She didn’t look like someone at a meeting, but a person enjoying a full day treatment at a spa instead. 

As for the manager whose plan was vetoed so harshly, he looked like a volcano about to erupt. His face turned blue and red with his veins popping on his forehead. However, he didn’t dare to voice this anger because of Mu Qingyan’s identity and sat down after swallowing his frustration. 

Mu Qingyan then looked over at Mu Qingli and stood up, 

“Since this plan is so horrible, use mine instead!” She snapped her fingers and her secretary had no choice but to hand out the documents of Mu Qingyan’s plan, setting the pieces of information in front of everyone’s eyes. 

When she read through the documents, Gu Anran almost laughed aloud. As the vice president, Mu Qingli wasn’t even included in the plan while Mu Qingyan would be the leader of this project. This seizure for power was just too obvious. 

However, Mu Qingyan clearly didn’t care for other people’s opinions at all. In her eyes, everyone here was a dog raised by their Mu family and as their dogs, they should be obedient to their owners. Furthermore, she felt delighted at Mu Qingli’s silence. She thought that Mu Qingli was too shocked to speak and said with a smug smile, 

“It’s decided then.”

“No, use Manager Wang’s plan. Meeting adjourned.” Mu Qingli, after not speaking the entire meeting, finally put down her orders. 

“Understood.” The others quickly agreed without further discussion. 

Aiya~ Aiya~ This slap to the face must really hurt! 

Mu Qingyan froze, she couldn’t think of a response to this. With just two words, she had become a complete joke in front of everyone. Like a puppet dancing to the whims of their creator, she had essentially just played a good show for everyone, but the true decision making power was not even in her hands!

Mu Qingli is deliberately insulting me! The pampered and spoiled Mu Qingyan could not bear such an insult. She slammed a fist onto the table and growled as she pointed at Mu Qingli, 

“You dare to refuse my plan, just who do you think you are! Do you think of yourself as something incredible? Well, you’re not! Who do you think you are! ”

The other managers, who were trying to quietly escape, couldn’t help but stop and look at Mu Qingyan with deep contempt and disgust in their eyes. 

Mu Qingli didn’t take the bait, she would not stoop to Mu Qingyan’s level. She ignored Mu Qingyan’s attitude and the finger pointed at her as she walked out. Before she left, she turned her head and said coldly, 

“I am the Vice President.”

Sounds of things being thrown across the room and objects shattering could be heard as she left that meeting room behind. It seems that Mu Qingyan’s temper tantrum had started again. 

When they arrived at the office, Gu Anran quickly made a couple of servings of coffee. The test was about to go underway and, for the sake of privacy, they had chosen to do it in Mu Qingli’s office. Other than the 6 of them and Duan Hongwu’s cousin, there will be no one else in the room.

After sliding the cups onto the table, the door opened again and the aroma of food came wafting in. 

“Qingli, we got the bentos!” Chi Mengyan took out four bentos from the bag and placed them onto the table and Hong Qingyi set down a bowl of carrot beef soup onto the table. 

“Alright, let’s eat.” Mu Qingli set her documents down and walked over to the sofa. 

“Whohoo! Little Ran brewed us a coffee!” Chi Mengyan quickly grabbed one of the cups and then sighed in content at the bitter, yet aromatic taste on her tongue.  

Ever since Chi Mengyan first tasted the coffee brewed by Gu Anran, she would order Hong Qingyi to come over and personally get three big thermoses of coffee from Gu Anran. Gu Anran suspected that Chi Mengyan was drinking her coffee like they were water by now. 

The four quickly finished their lunches and there was about an hour left before the group from the Duan Company was coming. Gu Anran was just about to clean up the office with Hong Qingyi when she was pulled back by Mu Qingli. 

“You should take a break, you’re going to need to conserve your energy for later.”

“Ok.” Her wife’s words were like the heavenly law and Gu Anran didn’t hesitate to drop all the dishes into Hong Qingyi’s hands. She waddled over and sat down, ignoring the dirty look she received and the way Hong Qingyi rolled her eyes. 

Mu Qingli draped a blanket over them and she watched in satisfaction as Gu Anran smiled sweetly as she snuggled closer.

「Female lead’s favorability rating has increased by (5) and is currently at (55)」

The system’s voice ringed in her head, but Gu Anran completely ignored it and instead nuzzled deeper into the blankets that smelled like her wife and quickly fell asleep. 

By the time Gu Anran woke up, it was about five minutes before the agreed time. She rubbed her weary eyes when a wet towel appeared in front of her. 

“Thank you.” Gu Anran raised her head with a smile and accepted the gift. This gift made Gu Anran’s heart melt as it showed how considerate the other person is. 

She looked over at Hong Qingyi who was still sleeping in Chi Mengyan’s arms and moved to wake her up, 

“Hey, lazy pig, you’re drooling!”

“Eh…wait, what!” Hong Qingyi quickly reached up to wipe her chin, she still cared about her image (at least in front of her wife). However….eh? It didn’t feel wet at all….

“Gu Anran!!” Hong Qinyi roared and sat up, trying to catch Gu Anran but was prevented by the arms tightening around her waist. 

“Eh…what’s the matter?” Chi Mengyan was still blinking the sleep from her eyes and asked, looking down at the little sheep in her arms. 

Hong Qingyi glared at Gu Anran: If my image is ruined because of you, I’ll kill you. 

Gu Anran glared back: In the first place, you have an image? I  didn’t know you had one.

Hong Qingyi: I have one in front of my wife at least!

Gu Anran: Well you ruined my image first, so this is revenge! 

Hong Qingyi: Alright, but don’t think about eating any of the food I cook ever again. 

Gu Anran: ….you are ruthless.

While the two were locked in a silent and intense staredown, a car pulled up into the parking lot. Duan Hongwu and Song Wenyan both stepped out of the car along with a handsome man following behind. 

 Duan Hongwu looked up at the building, uh….it’s exactly the same building as my company……

“Let’s go.” He approached the door and suddenly the sounds of a screaming shrew came from within. 

“Damn that Mu Qingli! How dare she embarrass me in front of everyone!”

This voice was obviously coming from inside. This made Duan Hongwu frown. The Mu Company was one of the top companies and yet someone dared to make trouble here and even insult Vice President Mu Qingli.

Shuaaa…..

The automatic doors slid open and the three of them walked in. Their eyes landed on the source of the sound, a woman with a vicious expression on her face as she waved a crutch around. What was strange to them was that no one stopped the crazy woman and the person standing beside her just pursed her lips with an embarrassed and ashamed expression. Other than that, no one else dared to approach her. 

How strange, there should be someone trying to stop her! However, it looked like all the employees were used to this spectacle by now. 

“That’s the Second Miss, Mu Qingyan.” Song Wenyan whispered into his ear.

“Mu Qingyan?” Duan Hongwu jumped back in shock. As children, he had participated in many banquets and parties with her and other children, but the difference between then and now was just too much. She was nothing like the image she had presented at the banquets! Duan Hongwu’s initial impression of Mu Qingyan was that she was a pretty girl with a slightly nice smile, but now….. Duan Hongwu sighed, you really can’t judge a person by their appearance…

“Tsk, tsk. If she’s always like this….” Song Wenyan looked disapprovingly at Mu Qingyan with a shake of his head.

“Miss, isn’t that President Duan and Secretary Song?” The secretary quickly pulled on Mu Qingyan’s sleeves and pointed in Duan Honwu’s direction. 

“Wha-! Cough….” Mu Qingyan raised her head and saw Duan Hongwu and his group staring at her. She quickly coughed, smoothed out her clothes, and put on a fake angelic smile. 

“Good afternoon, are you President Duan?” The receptionist’s poker face didn’t show even a hint of emotion as she faced these three powerful men. It was as if all three men were just average employees, which was a testament to just how good her training was. 

“That’s correct.” Duan Hongwu nodded. 

“Vice President Mu has ordered me to explain that all three of you can enter her office directly. Please follow me.” The receptionist walked ahead to the elevator with the three of them in tow when a sickeningly sweet voice rang out. 

“Brother Duan, why are you here?” Mu Qingyan’s eyelashes bashfully fluttered as she looked up at him. 

However, Duan Hongwu had now seen Mu Qingyan’s true self and didn’t hold a speck of goodwill towards her. It was already good enough that he wasn’t completely disgusted by her, but he couldn’t just ignore her because she was still the influential Second Miss of the Mu family. 

“Miss Mu, I have an appointment with Vice President Mu today.” Duan Hongwu replied with a polite but gentle smile. 

Mu Qingyan was completely under Duan Hongwu’s spell and almost drooled on the spot when she saw him smile, but her interest immediately fell to the bottom of a valley when she heard he was here for her sister. However, she still forced a smile and asked, 

“President Duan, what do you need from my sister? Is there anything I can help with?”

“Uh…no need, I am here to discuss important business matters with her.” Duan Hongwu wanted to shoo Mu Qingyan away already, but that would be a breach of propriety. He gave a side glance at Song Wen yan, sending a subtle signal with his eyes. 

“Ah! President, we must hurry or we’ll be late!” Song Wenyan immediately understood and pretended to look worried as he pointed at his watch. 

“I’m sorry, Miss Mu, but I need to go. Therefore we will be leaving first.” He gave her another polite nod and then entered the elevator. 

Mu Qingli! Mu Qingli! It’s always you! Just because you’re the Vice President! And you seduced my precious Brother Duan as well! Shameless, just shameless! Mu Qingyan’s heart was on fire with her anger and clenched her teeth. In her heart, she imagined what it would be like if she was the Vice President. As the Vice President if she and President Duan got together, wouldn’t they be the legendary golden couple? Brother Duan, wait for me! I will take back my rightful position as Vice President and then we’ll finally be able to get together!! 

“Achoo!” Duan Hongwu rubbed his nose. Why does it feel so cold?
