The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife

There was suddenly the smell of gunpowder in the air, especially with Qi Lei’s eyes that suddenly turned cold and sharp. Xi Xiaye was startled by this sight too. She looked at Mu Yuchen, and he seemed calm. He only took one look at Qi Lei before he lowered his gaze and continued flipping through the documents in his hand.

Xi Xiaye quickly returned to her seat.

The bidders upfront promptly finished confirming the documents and signing them. Then, the host announced that all of the bidders’ documents were valid.

“Next up, I’ll invite the staff to open the bidders’ documents according to the time that they handed it in, and then deliver it to the notary office for inspection.”

The moment the host finished, those tightly sealed documents were opened and delivered to the rostrum upfront for the leaders to browse and examine.

Xi Mushan was very seriously browsing through the documents in his hand. From time to time, he discussed something with the people beside him.

“There are many companies joining the tender this time. Over there is Kang Wei Co. I heard that they had a very close working relationship with Qi Kai previously, but because of a project, they fell out, so now the two companies seem to have a very fragile relationship.”

Being observant was a necessity for them in the business world, so Xi Xiaye was very sensitive to such information.

Mu Yuchen looked up from the documents and said plainly, “There’s no such thing as enemies forever in the business world. Neither is there anything such as friends forever. Only interest is forever.”

Xi Xiaye nodded in agreement. “You’re not wrong; such as how Glory World has had many close partners in business all these years, but we’ve also become a thorn in the side of many companies.”

Mu Yuchen understood what Xi Xiaye was implying. She turned to look at him and saw that Qi Lei was saying something to his assistant, yet his gaze kept looking over to them.

“Master Qi, Mu Yuchen returned yesterday night. I’ve confirmed that he is indeed married to Xi Xiaye. This morning, I called the Civil Affairs Bureau to confirm that. In fact, this South River 1 project has been left in Xi Xiaye’s hands throughout and I heard that she had made the proposal very early on. Mu Yuchen appreciated her very much.” Assistant Yang Sheng was glancing over at Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye at the moment as he reported.

“Such difference in treatment!” Qi Lei watched them, yet he faintly smiled as he rubbed his nose.

Yang Sheng hesitated and could not help but express his opinion, “Master Qi, they’ve registered for their marriage at the end of last year. If I calculate the time, it should be after Han Yifeng proposed to Xi Xinyi. I remember it back then… Do you think that there’s an inside story to their marriage?”

“Inside story? What inside story could there be?” Qi Lei listened and immediately squinted at Yang Sheng. “I can see that this Mu Yuchen is very sweet to her, but…”

This woman was quite interesting. She was very different from all the women he had met before.

When Qi Lei thought about this, he could not help but stare contemplatively at Xi Xiaye again.

“Master Qi, if we can get the South River project this time, it’ll be a slap in Mu Yuchen’s face. Glory World and the Li Corporation developing a Movie City has made the President very upset. The Li Corporation doesn’t know how to appreciate favors. Previously, the President has tried to meet up with them quite a few times, but they vaguely rejected, and now they are unexpectedly collaborating with Glory World.” As Yang Sheng spoke, he started to look sour too.

“The Li Corporation and Glory World do have a pretty solid relationship. It’s the old man who’s indulging in his wild imaginations, so it’ll do him good to be a little angry.”

“Master Qi, do you think Glory World…?”

“Don’t ask too much. Just watch and you’ll know.”

Qi Lei saw that Mu Yuchen did not even care about them. He remained casual and calm, yet he could not help but feel angry although he concealed it well. His grip tightened onto the table before him and he lowered his gaze to conceal that flash of coldness. There was even hatred!

Before they could have any further thoughts, the host began the fifth agenda of the meeting.

“Now, we will begin to call for bids. We have our first bidder, Kang Wei Co. Their bid is XXXX million with an estimated completion date of XXX days. The quality of the project qualifies.”

“The second bidder is Zhongyu Huaxin Group. Their bid is XXXX million…”

…

When the host read such huge amounts of bids, everyone gasped. After all, with such a huge project, the funds that needed to be allocated would be a surmountable number.

With quite a few companies down, their bids did not vary much, so the difference was not very drastic.

Xi Xiaye watched the data and information on the electronic screens. From time to time, she would discuss with Mu Yuchen beside her. “It looks like the bids are about the same. So are the project completion dates too. Zhongyu Huaxin Group was still a medium-sized firm a few years ago. Unexpectedly, they’ve been developing rather quickly in recent years.”

“They’ve been going through intense reforms in the past few years. They are specialized in developing, so they’re pretty stable.”

…

“The seventh bidder, Glory World Corporation with a bid of…”

“The eight bidder, Qi Kai Corporation with a bid of…”

When the host finished reading out the final two companies, the whole place fell silent!

When she heard the announced figures, Xi Xiaye could not help but raise her brows in surprise. She looked at Mu Yuchen. “This is not the proposal I prepared. Did you…”

“I made some slight changes. Let’s see the results.” Mu Yuchen was calm as usual.

When they confirmed the signatures once again, it was time to review the bids. The crowd fell silent for a while, then everyone began to whisper to one another.

Quite a while passed before the host began to speak again. “This time, we’re using the average scores to review the bids. The judging will be based on the bids, skills and capability, and the promise of service. We will run the average score, and the scoring rules are as shown on screen. Ladies and gentlemen, the final results are out. Announcing from the highest to the lowest score, in first place is Glory World Corporation with an overall score of 98.2. Second place goes to Qi Kai, with an overall score of 98. In third place…”

When the host read out the scores and she heard Glory World was first, Xi Xiaye’s eyes immediately lit up. She could not help but grin and turn to Mu Yuchen, who smiled calmly at her.

“How wonderful, Mr. Mu!”

She smiled in delight and her eyes looked at him, filled with an admiration that could not be concealed. “How did you know? Did you make some changes? Previously, didn’t you hand in that document? This sounds like the data we came up with at first. You…”

“Missus, you’ve worked hard, but I still trust in my first instincts.”
