Chapter 845: 330 regrets not having made the right move earlier, one wrong move in chess. Chapter 845: 330 regrets not having made the right move earlier, one wrong move in chess. Everyone seated at the red conference table had taken their seats.

The people behind also sat down one by one, only Mu Zhendong remained standing where he was, quite conspicuously.

Next to him, Minister Xu glanced at Mu Zhendong, “President Mu?”

He lowered his voice.

Mu Zhendong snapped back to reality and took his seat, but his gaze remained fixed on Mu Yining.

Purifying uranium from seawater was a huge project, and even the Gao Family wanted a piece of the action. They sought out Mu Zhendong specifically to insert someone through him into the project.

Mu Zhendong had been busy with this project since the New Year, for three to four months.

Today, he was finally able to sit here and attend the meeting.

Who would have thought that Mu Yining would be sitting directly at the negotiation table made of mahogany?

How did she get in?

The person in charge of the project in the middle began speaking, introducing the guests present one by one, “Permanent delegate You Xinzheng, Academy of Sciences Vice President Xu Lixin…”

“Mu Corporation Executive CEO, Miss Mu Yining.”

Among the distinguished titles announced, that of the Executive CEO of the Mu Corporation, Mu Yining, appeared quite modest.

The people behind were inquiring why Mu Yining was there.

The shocked Minister Xu beside Mu Zhendong also looked to him, seeking to find out something.

But Mu Zhendong was already unable to calm himself to listen to what they were saying.

Two hours later, the meeting concluded.

The project lead approached Mu Yining for a chat, “President Mu, I have reserved a lunch nearby, let’s talk there.”

Afterward, a crowd sought out You Xinzheng.

Mu Zhendong was still sitting in the same spot, observing the project leaders around Mu Yining.

It was evident that these people treated Mu Yining with great courtesy.

After Mu Yining left, quite a few people came to greet Mu Zhendong, most of whom he knew.

The familiar Minister Xu also came over with two people, “Zhendong, this here is Vice President Xu.”

The Mu Family hadn’t seen such high-caliber researchers in a long time.

Mu Zhendong, after a moment of shock, quickly reached out to shake hands with Xu Lixin, “President Xu,hello, I am Mu Zhendong.”

“Mr. Mu.” The two shook hands briefly, and Xu Lixin proactively exchanged contact information with Mu Zhendong.

Mu Zhendong walked out in a daze, following the crowd; his secretary, who had been waiting outside, spotted him from afar.

After the crowd dispersed he approached, the secretary hesitantly said, “I just now, I thought I saw the young Miss…”

Mu Zhendong’s secretary naturally knew who was inside today.

That is why, upon seeing Mu Yining, they were surprised yet thought they might have been mistaken.

Mu Zhendong heard this, but said nothing.

He just walked toward his car dazed, even though he had arrived spirited now he lacked any vigor.

Seeing this, the secretary immediately realized they hadn’t been mistaken, that it truly was Mu Yining.

This visit had exceeded his expectations.

Mu Zhendong restlessly got into the car.

At noon, he had arranged to meet with the Gao family.

**
Mu Zhendong arrived at the private room.

He had thought that just like before, only Mu Youjun would come over for lunch.

Unexpectedly, not only did Mu Youjun arrive, but Gao Yi was there as well.

In all the years with the Mu Family, Mu Zhendong had seen Gao Yi only a few times.

That was twenty years ago, during the glory days of the Mu Family.

After the decline of the Mu Family, Gao Yi never visited again, not to mention him, even Mu Youjun’s annual visits were few.

“Mr. Gao.” Mu Zhendong came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted Gao Yi respectfully.

He was surprised inside, wondering why Gao Yi would come.

“No need for formalities with me.” Gao Yi, dressed in casual attire, had a gentle smile, gesturing for Mu Zhendong to sit, displaying quite a cordial demeanor.

Given the current status of the Gao Family in Jiangjing, it had become comparable to the Xu Family.

When had they ever treated the Mu Family so courteously?

Mu Zhendong felt flattered and temporarily set aside the matters concerning Mu Yining, taking a seat and engaging in a lively conversation with Gao Yi.

After they had finished their meal and Gao Yi had to leave due to other matters,
Mu Youjun stayed behind to speak privately with Mu Zhendong.

She was wearing a proper black long dress accompanied by a pure white shawl, watching Gao Yi’s car drive away.

As Gao Yi got into the car, he looked at Mu Zhendong and smiled, “Iridium grade 500 and other rare metals, we’re all family, in the future with such large quantities, we should discuss together.”

After speaking, he got in his car and left.

Mu Youjun slowly turned her body, adjusting her shawl, and frowned as she observed him, “Where is Yining, why didn’t she come with you?”

Mu Youjun had specifically asked Mu Zhendong to bring her along yesterday, but Mu Zhendong, preoccupied with his own concerns, hadn’t called her.
