Chapter 921 An Employee Who Doesn't Want a Secret Relationship (16)
Mu Zhou picked up his phone, carefully found the right angle to take a picture of the table full of dishes, and then posted it on his WeChat Moments.
And they unceremoniously claimed the credit for themselves.
[A tiring afternoon.]
Photo attached.
Upon seeing this, Shen Congjing smiled knowingly and took a picture as well.
He didn't write anything, just a simple photo, which he posted on his WeChat Moments around the same time as her.
Although the angles are different, you can tell at a glance that it's the same meal.
There aren't many people who have two people's WeChat accounts at the same time, but Qin Zhi is one of them.
It's also a coincidence.
Qin Zhi doesn't usually look at WeChat Moments, but today, he inexplicably clicked on Mu Zhou's Moments.
His expression darkened when he saw the table full of food.
This is clearly not the Mu family's residence.
He subconsciously zoomed in, carefully examining the details revealed in the photo.
The table is from a famous Italian furniture brand, and the vase on the table is a work by an internationally renowned designer.
The bowls and plates are from the M brand, a favorite of Hermès and European royalty, as well as ceramics fired in top domestic kilns.
The other party is someone of considerable influence.
Qin Zhi suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
In his distress, he absentmindedly clicked on his WeChat Moments, scrolled through it briefly, and was about to exit.
But the next moment, his movements froze.
He swiped back sharply, and the page eventually stopped on a photo.
His pupils contracted slightly as he slowly tapped the photo with his fingertip, then zoomed in.
It was the same dish served at the same table.
In an instant, it felt as if ice had been poured over him from head to toe; his heart trembled, and anger surged in his eyes.
Shen Congjing.
The man beside Mu Zhou is Shen Congjing?!
How could it be him?
How could they possibly have any connection...?
No, they do have something in common.
Qin Zhi instantly thought of the days when the Qin Group collaborated with Chongzheng Games.
He personally approved the plan back then.
So, he was the one who brought them together?
He gave a cold laugh and gripped his phone tightly.
Shen Congjing only posted this one message on his WeChat Moments.
What is this, a provocation?
Ah.

Mu Zhou's company quickly got back on track.
She's so busy every day that she barely has time to rest.
Recently, the company completed a big project, and Mu Zhou took everyone out for a meal to relax.
Everyone has been working very hard lately, often putting in overtime. In addition to bonuses, we've added extra benefits at the hot spring resort after consulting with everyone.
Mu Zhou deliberately chose Monday, a non-holiday, to take everyone to the hot spring resort.
Upon arrival, everyone immediately went back to their rooms to change clothes, preparing to soak in the hot springs first.
Mu Zhou fell behind them because he received a work call.
As she entered the lobby, she bumped into Qin Zhi.
This was certainly not an accident.
Although the resort is not under the Qin family's name, Qin Zhi owns shares in it.
He found out as soon as Mu Zhou made the reservation, so he rushed over to "bump into" him.
Since he stumbled upon Mu Zhou and Shen Congjing last time, he hasn't directly confronted them, but instead occasionally shows up around Mu Zhou to make his presence known.
Occasionally, he would lend a helping hand when she encountered difficulties, and even provide her with resources.
Mu Zhou declined some of his offers, but had no choice but to accept some of them out of kindness.
She almost got angry with him and told him to stop.
But he couldn't remain indifferent.
This is the only thing he can do now.
"Mu Zhou, it's been a long time."
He stepped forward and greeted her with a slight smile.
His face is indeed very intimidating. Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he looks refined and gentle, which also conceals the sharpness of his features, making them appear less angular.
He seemed to be a refined and gentle gentleman.
But in reality, it was a venomous snake.
Mu Zhou's relaxed expression faded somewhat, and she nodded to Qin Zhi:
"Long time no see. My colleagues are still waiting for me. I'll be going now."
"Okay, I won't disturb you. I've had you upgraded to a deluxe suite and given you some small gifts. I hope you have a great time."
He seemed extremely considerate.
Mu Zhou frowned, looking like he was about to refuse.
He hurriedly said:
“I didn’t mean anything by it, so don’t feel guilty. Even without our relationship, you were all excellent employees of Qin’s. As the boss, I can still provide you with these benefits when you come to my resort.”
His words sounded reasonable and hard to refuse.
Mu Zhou opened his mouth, but finally said helplessly:
"Qin Zhi, please don't do this again. I can't repay you."
“I didn’t expect you to repay me. I told you, don’t feel guilty. This is what I owe you.”
Mu Zhou sighed silently.
"Whatever you want, I'm leaving now."
After entering the elevator, she opened her phone and found that the WeChat group was already in an uproar.
[Wow, Mr. Mu is amazing! It's a luxury suite! That's incredible!]
I heard that the resort here operates on a membership system, with luxury rooms and exclusive member experiences not available to the public, but only to VVIPs with hefty membership fees. Good heavens, what have I done to deserve this?
The bathtub has a massage function! And the skincare products are from top brands!
[The guest room also came with a gift box containing the Winter Games mascot! These are really hard to get!]
[President Mu is awesome +1]
[President Mu is awesome +2]
[President Mu is awesome +3]
Mu Zhou calmly replied to the editor:
Everyone has worked hard these past few days. Take a break and relax these next couple of days. There's a musical tonight; those who are interested can check it out.
And then came another wave of compliments.
It feels so good to use other people's money to embellish your own image.
Mu Zhou happily put away his phone.

Although Mu Zhou was a leader in the Qin Group before, he still got along well with everyone.
After all, there's a manager above them.
But things are different now. Even though she's not a strict person, she's still the boss, and when she's with everyone, they definitely can't relax.
So Mu Zhou made an excuse not to travel with them.
She waited until she woke up from her afternoon nap, ate something, and then changed into her swimsuit, wrapped herself in a bathrobe, and went to the hot spring pool.
On the way, Shen Congjing sent a message.
[I'm going back to China early. Would you like to come over for dinner tonight?]
I've learned a new recipe for corn and pork rib stew; you can try it.
For the past ten days or so, Shen Congjing had been on a business trip abroad, and Mu Zhou had forgotten to tell him about the hot springs.
Therefore, I politely declined his offer and explained the reasons.
【Hot spring? 】
Yes, it's in Liuyu. Do you want to come?
Upon seeing her reply, Shen Congjing deleted all the text he had half-edited. He desperately wanted to agree, but still asked with restraint:
Is it convenient?
[It's so convenient.]
She replied without the slightest hesitation.
Shen Congjing's heart skipped a beat just watching.
But before his heart could continue to flutter, another message arrived.
When he saw what she had sent, his expression froze slightly, and his heart began to sink unconsciously.
As our major client and most respected customer, we will do our best to make it happen wherever you wish.
Shen Congjing took a few breaths, forcing back tears, and asked:
[Is it simply because I'm the client?]
For some reason, even though it's just a few cold, impersonal words, I can inexplicably sense a hint of grievance.
He stared intently at the screen.
