Chapter 702: The Cunning Merchant as Slick as a Ghost_1

“However, this time, I don’t really plan on acting myself.” Baili Xia continued.

“I want to introduce someone to you.

She’s very skilled, has a background in martial arts, and she’s not bad looking.

She has a good figure and is very tall.”

“She can play a minor role or be a stunt double with no problems, as long as it’s safe, she can handle it.

Of course, it shouldn’t be something like today.”

When she got to this point, she quickly shut her mouth.

Seeing Mu Lingchuan’s brows furrowed once more, she subconsciously bit her lip, knowing he was going to lose his temper again as soon as the matter was brought up.

But having Zimo perform in martial arts roles or act as a stunt double was a far better option than having her serve as a thug elsewhere.

That was also a good way out.

“You still haven’t told me why you’re so strapped for cash. Isn’t the money Grandpa gave you enough?”

Mu Lingchuan didn’t let go of the issue that piqued his interest earlier.

The matter of the martial arts actress could wait.

“No, it’s not that, it’s just… just something… something…”

She still hadn’t figured out how to explain until Mu Lingchuan got impatient, then she finally said.

“I…

I know of an orphanage with children who are soon to be homeless.”

“Which orphanage?” Mu Lingchuan asked.

Baili Xia did not dare to hide anything and immediately told him the name of the orphanage.

Mu Lingchuan made a phone call, and his assistant quickly called him back.

After ending the call, he looked at Baili Xia and snorted coldly.

“This orphanage’s problems are recent, but you’ve been wanting to get Feixue into acting for quite some time.

You’ve been broke for more than just a day or two; you’re trying to trick me?”

“…No.” Baili Xia’s voice was so faint she could barely hear it herself.

She hadn’t expected her brother to be so shrewd.

With one simple phone call, he figured out everything in no time.

He surely is business-minded, being so astute.

Is it really okay to be like this?

He’s so crafty, absolutely untrickable, so evil!

“If you won’t tell the truth, don’t blame me for not wanting to help.”

Mu Lingchuan stood up with his briefcase, and Baili Xia stood up too, following him.

“No, I’m not lying to you.

But I really can’t talk about my difficulties.”

“Then don’t say anything.” The man didn’t even look back.

“Brother, can’t you be a little less heartless?” The girl followed him, her face full of misery.

With the two of them walking out, one after the other, all eyes in the Mu Group restaurant watched them go.

Was that girl pestering Mr.

Mu?

It seemed that she was not so important to Mr.

Mu.

Despite everything, she kept shamelessly following Mr.

Mu, begging for something, whatever it was.

The female staff looked at Baili Xia with disdainful eyes

But the male workers had a playful smile on their faces.

The Mr.

Mu who never involved himself with rumors was finally generating some buzz.

From now on, things at the company were going to get livelier.

…

She pushed and pulled, employing both soft and hard tactics.

Finally, before the car stopped, Mu Lingchuan relented and promised Baili Xia that he would temporarily not reveal her secret.

However, this was only temporary.

As for whether he would tell in the future, he made no guarantees

Baili Xia was satisfied with this, confident that if he said he wouldn’t say anything now, it meant he would keep his mouth shut forever.

Brother was not so petty as to settle scores with her afterwards or to voluntarily bring up those chaotic words to Uncle.

That was not something a grown man would do.

He was still a big CEO.

How could he do such a thing?

A big CEO should be aloof.

The act of gossiping should be left for women.
