Chapter 234: Strike first to gain the upper hand
Seeing that Wu You didn't want to talk, Jiang Mubai didn't ask any more questions. She would naturally say what she wanted to say. If he forced her to say it, it might make her feel uncomfortable.
"Why don't you go and ask?" Even Manman noticed it. Usually she would say whatever she wanted, but today she was obviously different. It seemed like she had her own thoughts.
This is not a bad thing. What Manman is worried about is that someone is deliberately taking advantage of this. After all, Wu You is still very naive now and cannot judge some things at all. He only understands what is presented on the surface.
"Wait a moment, I will pay more attention these days. You should go back quickly too, as you have something to do tomorrow." Jiang Mubai could no longer resist the sleepiness, so he urged Manman to leave and then went back to his room.
As for the contract she got back today, Jiang Mubai read it carefully to avoid the previous incident from happening again. She didn't want to be embarrassed like that day again. It was so embarrassing that she felt embarrassed just thinking about it now.
Basically, there is no problem. The plan is indeed different from the previous one, but there are some places she wants to add more. Jiang Mubai modified these things in the contract and will give it to Wu You tomorrow.
She was already lying on the bed, drowsy, but Wu You was still standing at the window downstairs, enjoying the fresh air. Thinking about what had happened and what had been said today, she couldn't think of anything she could do.
Wu You got up early the next morning. In fact, she couldn't sleep because of insomnia, but she was embarrassed to disturb Jiang Mubai, so she thought about it all night but got no results.
Jiang Mubai was a little worried when he saw Wu You, who looked unwell, but she insisted that she could complete today's task. Since she said so, he had nothing to worry about.
It was still the same position, but today Wu You was invited to the office. Worried that she would be nervous, President Gu specially opened the office door. From inside, she could see the busy employees outside, and she felt much more at ease.
"I have read the changes to the contract. They are within my acceptable range. I have asked my secretary to redraft the contract. It will be done in a while." Wu Youdian nodded. The waiting time was quite long for her.
Fortunately, not too much time was wasted. When she touched the paper, it was still warm. She hurriedly drafted it for fear of delaying the cooperation.
"Then we will have a pleasant cooperation." Mr. Gu stood up and extended his hand towards Wu You.
"It's a pleasure working with you." He just gently clenched her fingertips and then immediately released them. Wu You also left the company with her contract, and felt a lot more relaxed as she walked on the street.
The last time, the front desk replaced the coffee with juice before he could even finish it. Wu You was really curious about what coffee tasted like. If it smelled so good, would it taste good too?
She chose a coffee shop closest to her company, sat inside and looked at the coffees on the menu. She was dazzled and didn't know how to choose for a moment.
"Two cups of lattes, one with full sugar and one without sugar." Suddenly, a woman in exquisite clothes sat in front of her. She clearly felt that the waiter was surprised for a moment but quickly recovered.
Ren Xueer made a gesture to her to keep quiet. Wu You looked even more confused. Could it be that she was also a star? Why didn't she know her? She hadn't even seen any of her works in such a long time since she returned to China.
"Who are you?" The woman just smiled when Wu You asked. Although she didn't know her identity yet, she could feel the other party's ill intentions. A very strong desire to leave instantly appeared in her mind.
"Of course I want to help you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Ren Xueer. I used to be an actor of the same level as Jiang Mubai, but now I am unable to perform due to her influence and frame-up."
Ren Xueer spoke without caring about the truth of the matter. Wu You listened with half belief and half doubt. She had been with Sister Mu Bai for such a long time that she knew her character well.
She just stared at the woman in front of her without moving her eyes away, trying to find any flaws in her face. Before she could observe for a while, the coffee was served to her.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Wu You looked at the time. She didn't want to delay for so long for fear that Sister Mu Bai would become suspicious at home.
"Try it first. The coffee here is delicious." Ren Xueer did not answer her question directly. A girl like this still needs a little bit of strategy, but fortunately, she looks young and innocent.
Adhering to the principle of not drinking it if it's not worth it, Wu You picked up Xiao Xiaochang and took a sip. The taste was not as good as juice, but it was very sweet. When she stopped, she could even feel the mellow aftertaste.
After a few sips, she was really a little drunk. Wu You finally understood why those people liked to hold a cup of coffee in their hands. It turned out that the coffee was really delicious.
"Is Jiang Mubai good to you?" Seeing that the other party was gradually relaxing, Ren Xueer gradually started her offensive. She was sure that she could take down this little girl today.
Wu You instantly became alert. It must be no good that she suddenly mentioned Sister Mu Bai's name. Moreover, judging from her words just now, she seemed to hate Sister Mu Bai.
"What's wrong with being nice to me? Is there any problem?" Wu You answered confidently. He was just telling the truth. Normally, Sister Mu Bai couldn't be nicer to him.
The woman opposite smiled after hearing her words, probably because she thought she would definitely answer such a question so there was no surprise at all.
Wu You watched Ren Xueer take out an exquisite box from her bag and place it in front of her. She pushed it back in front of her without even looking at it.
Ren Xueer didn't expect that she was still a tough nut to crack. These things didn't please her. Could it be that she wanted luxury goods?
"I can't accept this thing. Miss Ren, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Or if you have anything to say to Sister Mu Bai, I can also convey it to you. But I really can't accept this thing." Wu You felt that he had said it clearly enough.
"You can keep the things for now. It's up to you whether to accept them or not, but you're always welcome here. Come to me when you figure it out. It's normal for girls to have some things they like. This is a gift for you. I think you two are compatible."
After saying that, Ren Xueer left the cafe directly. By the time Wu You reacted and chased after her, she had disappeared. She looked down at the things in her hand and it was really difficult to explain.
Wu You was feeling very nervous sitting in the car on the way home. When he was almost home, he tried hard to adjust his mood so as not to let Sister Mu Bai notice anything.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she pushed open the door and looked at the empty living room. She walked quickly towards the room and as soon as she opened the door, Jiang Mubai's voice came from behind her.
