Chapter 478 The Orphan Girl Who Will No Longer Be Manipulated (4)

Jiang Huazhen is a very capable person.

Although her time working at Lianzhong was fulfilling and the chairman was a great leader, she left the Lianzhong Group two years later because of her incompatibility with Mu Jin, the future heir, and the presence of Meng Xiyuan.

For Mu Zhou, using Jiang Huazhen as a stepping stone to meet the chairman was the best option.

Because the chairman was not in the group at that time.

Fearing that the chairman might unexpectedly see Mu Zhou, Meng Xiyuan and Mu Jin persuaded him to go to North America for negotiations.

The two of them planned to dismiss Mu Zhou before he returned.

However, Lianzhong has always maintained a good image, and the chairman does not allow people to be dismissed without cause, especially since there is also Jiang Huazhen who is at odds with them.

Dismissing Mu Zhou abruptly would certainly arouse suspicion among many people.

Therefore, they could only resort to suppression, bullying, and framing to make Mu Zhou leave.

At this point, given Mu Zhou's own abilities, it would be difficult for him to meet with the chairman.

That's why she deliberately went to "bump into" Jiang Huazhen.

Recently, Mu Jin snatched a big project from one of her subordinates, and she was already in a bad mood.

Mu Zhou's department manager is a typical Mu Jin faction member.

At this point, Jiang Huazhen probably just wanted to use her to cause some trouble for the manager and, incidentally, annoy Mu Jinmeng Xiyuan.

But Mu Zhou will continue to give her hints, making her understand that Mu Zhou being targeted is not simply due to the manager's inaction, but rather there is another hidden reason.

*

Today, Mu Zhou received his salary and, as usual, took some daily necessities to the orphanage.

The old director of the orphanage had passed away, and the current director was not familiar with Mu Zhou. So after receiving the charitable donation from Mu Zhou, the two exchanged pleasantries.

Upon hearing that the director was arranging for people to help out at another welfare institution, Mu Zhou volunteered:

"If you don't have enough manpower, I can help out."

The dean was naturally extremely grateful.

The welfare organization had recently taken in many other abandoned disabled children from various provinces and was severely understaffed, which is why it sought help from other orphanages.

So, Mu Zhou went to the welfare institution with the two employees.

*

The welfare institution had a large courtyard with a sandpit dug in it. Mu Zhou sat inside, watching five children playing around him.

I also need to remind you from time to time:

"Don't throw sand, it'll get in your eyes."

"You can't eat it! You can't put sand in your mouth."

"Don't pour sand into his clothes, and don't stuff it into his back."

The children rarely get to go out and play, so they all got a bit wild, and Mu Zhou could barely keep them in check by himself.

But she understood.

Welfare institutions are understaffed, and children with physical or intellectual disabilities are already difficult to manage, so they can only guarantee their basic needs of food, drink, and toileting.

Playing in the sand in the yard, a game that requires constant supervision, is a luxury for children.

Therefore, Mu Zhou was extremely patient.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch break, Mu Zhou began to carry them out one by one and brush the sand off their bodies.

I looked up and saw several people standing outside the door, and a car parked there.

Soon, the principal of the welfare institution came out and welcomed them all inside.

Mu Zhou stared at that familiar figure, stunned for a moment.

She didn't realize what was happening until a child tugged at her clothes.

"Teacher, my neck is itchy."

Mu Zhou quickly squatted down and used a towel to wipe the sand off her neck:

"The teacher wiped it off and the itching stopped."

After carefully wiping it away, Mu Zhou looked at the group of people again, only to see that familiar figure standing alone in the courtyard, their eyes meeting.

Mu Zhou picked up the child, both surprised and delighted, and walked towards him:

"It really is you! I thought I was seeing things."

The person in front of me is Jiang Yan.

Just as Jiang Yan was about to speak, Mu Zhou hurriedly said:

"I have to talk to you now. I'll take them back first, and we'll talk later. Don't go."

After saying that, she picked up the child and left.

Jiang Yan didn't even have time to say a word. He watched Mu Zhou's hurried departure and couldn't help but smile.

After Mu Zhou finished everything, he picked up the milk tea that had been delivered and went to find Jiang Yan.

After they got to know each other, Mu Zhou handed him the milk tea:

"By the way, I saw the car outside the mall last time, the one we first met. I thought it was you, so I ran over to thank you, but it turned out to be a strange man inside. He must be your friend."

Mu Zhou still felt embarrassed when she thought about it. She touched her nose and said shyly:

“I just gave him the fruit salad and ran away. Your friend must have thought it was really strange.”

Mu Zhou was dressed very simply today, wearing a white shirt and high-waisted light-colored jeans. The simple combination made her look very student-like.

Her entire outfit consisted of loose, straight-leg styles, but the dark brown belt on her jeans perfectly accentuated her waistline.

Slender waist and slender back.

Her simple, casual ponytail added a touch of playfulness to her look.

At this moment, the shy girl's face was flushed, even the tip of her delicate nose was pink, and her eyes and brows exuded a charming innocence.

Jiang Yan was momentarily stunned by her simple, sunny smile before realizing what she had said.

Has she met Gu Yanli?

I haven't heard Gu Yanli mention it.

That makes sense, that person's affairs have always been shrouded in mystery, and he couldn't possibly know even a fraction of it.

Faced with Mu Zhou's repeated thanks, Jiang Yan smiled faintly:

"It's just a little effort."

"It may be just a small favor for you, but it was a lifesaver for me, Mr. Jiang. Let me treat you to dinner as a token of my gratitude."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yan agreed.

He had already learned all the information about Mu Zhou.

Growing up in an orphanage, she suffered many injustices from fate, yet she remained innocent, sunny, and wholeheartedly devoted to good.

It was as if nothing could defeat her.

Jiang Yan was once a person like that.

But now he is buried by hatred and revenge.

Faced with Mu Zhou like this, he felt both longing and an inexplicable resistance and aversion towards her, unable to resist looking at her smiling face.

People living in darkness always both yearn for and fear the sunlight.

So his first instinct was to refuse.

But when he looked into those eyes that were brimming with a smile, he couldn't help but agree.

It was just a simple encounter with a naive young girl; it wouldn't affect his revenge plan.

Jiang Yan thought to himself.

Before leaving, his phone rang. After seeing the number, his expression turned slightly somber, and he walked to a secluded spot to answer it.

"gentlemen."

…………

After finishing their business, Jiang Yan was about to hang up the phone when he inexplicably remembered that Mu Zhou had mentioned seeing Gu Yanli last time.

He paused for a moment, then recounted how he had met Mu Zhou again that day.

After a few seconds of silence, a low, husky voice slowly flowed from the receiver:

"Your repeated chance encounters were truly just accidents? Jiang Yan, remember what you told me back then?"

The calm tone concealed a dangerous undertone, and Jiang Yan's expression instantly turned grim.
