Chapter 423: Chapter 421 Don’t Call Me Young Master Anymore_1

But what no one expected was that, just half a year later, his great-grandfather followed suit and left them too.

They were indeed old, well into their nineties; they slipped away silently in their sleep, never to awaken again.

The departure of the two elderly gentlemen cast a thick pall of gloom over everyone.

And he, too, shed tears for the second time in his life. He remembered his maternal grandfather teaching him when he was very small that a man should bleed, not cry.

But his mother had also said, "A man has tears but does not lightly shed them—only when the heart is wounded."

He finally understood the true meaning of these words. When someone is truly heartbroken, the tears in their eyes are not something they can control at will.

His mother and grandmother were too heartbroken, so three months ago, his father sorted out all the business affairs and issued him a stern command to come back and take over Mu Group. He had to make proper arrangements for his matters there before he rushed back in a hurry.

Just as his thoughts ceased, someone knocked on the door of the CEO’s office—

He concealed the forlorn look in his eyes and again adopted his usual cold demeanor.

"Come in!"

As the word "come" fell, the door was pushed open promptly, and a woman came in holding a thick stack of documents.

She was dressed in a black-and-white work uniform, with black collar edges and cuffs exquisitely tailored, revealing her petite and delicate frame, showing off her beautiful collarbone.

The black skirt revealed her long legs encased in black stockings, complemented by a pair of simple and elegant black high heels.

Her hair was tied up in a fluffy bun, with two chic silver-white earrings dangling from her snow-white earlobes.

The woman, dressed professionally, had a pair of eyes clear as water; her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her fair skin flushed with a soft pink, and her thin lips were as tender as rose petals.

Upon pushing open the door, she immediately saw the tall figure standing by the viewing platform.

Stepping forward, she fluttered her long lashes and finally spoke, "Young Master... it’s time to head to the conference room..."

Her voice was crisp and sonorous yet also melodiously soft, like an orchid in an empty valley, refreshing to the heart and spirit...

Hearing this familiar voice, Mu Zisu felt a sudden relaxation in his heart.

He turned around to look at the woman standing obediently by the door, furrowed his brows slightly, and said in a calm voice, "Don’t call me Young Master from now on..."

She paused briefly with hesitation, and then spoke, "Yes, President..."

Mu Zisu frowned even deeper when he heard her call him President; he didn’t know if it was because he was used to her calling him Young Master or if it was something else, but hearing her say President seemed awkward to him.

"Change!" he said flatly, throwing out a word.

She didn’t just pause this time, her elegant eyebrows, curved like new crescents, also knit slightly.

After another moment of hesitation, she spoke again, "Yes, Mr. Mu..."

The furrow in Mu Zisu’s brow did not ease. He was now certain that it was the habituation to her calling him Young Master that made the sudden change of title uncomfortable. Mr. Mu would do, it actually sounded quite pleasing to the ear...

Mm... Thinking this, he nodded faintly in acknowledgment.

Only then did the woman let out a sigh of relief, but in her mind, she couldn’t help but complain: What is this fuss? Whether it’s Young Master, President, or Mr. Mu, isn’t it all just him she is addressing?

If he isn’t satisfied with the way she addresses him, why doesn’t he suggest an acceptable title for her to use?

He only knows how to torment his subordinates!

"Xiaoxiao?"

A cool and indifferent voice suddenly rang out, causing Na Xiaoxiao to snap back to reality. She then quickly lowered her head in the direction of Mu Zisu.

"President Mu..."

"Daydreaming? Take the materials on the desk with you."

Na Xiaoxiao directly ignored his first sentence, taking steps toward the office desk to get the materials.

Because she knew, what he meant was the second sentence.

Mu Zisu did not show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction due to her lack of response to his first question. Watching her pick up the materials from the office desk, he strode toward the door of the office.

Na Xiaoxiao watched his tall and upright figure from behind, feeling a wave of loss in her heart. She knew that aside from work, he wouldn’t care about her in the slightest.

Just like how he clearly asked what she was daydreaming about earlier, yet when she didn’t answer, he acted as if he hadn’t asked anything because he truly didn’t care what she was daydreaming about, what she was thinking...

Haha... He was like that with every woman, wasn’t he? She should feel lucky, lucky that she could stay by his side...

Having thought all that, she immediately quickened her steps, heading toward the door, for if she wasn’t right beside him as his personal assistant when he entered the meeting room, she might receive his cold gaze again.

Fortunately, when he entered the conference room following those three people, she finally caught up.

"President Mu!"

As he took his first step into the meeting room, all the senior executives seated inside immediately stood up and respectfully greeted him.

Every time Na Xiaoxiao witnessed such a scene, her heart couldn’t help but tremble. Such scenes always reminded her that he was the favored son of the heavens, the dazzling sun hanging high in the sky...

And she...

She looked down at the work uniform she was wearing and couldn’t help but give a bitter smile in her heart. She was just an insignificant little star.

Regarding the matter of Mu Zisu taking over Mu Group, starting from the day Mu Yingchen announced it, no one dared to object.

Although they had never met the legendary young master of the Mu Family, the deeds that came back from overseas were enough to make them utterly admire him.

Therefore, during the meeting, no matter what business policies Mu Zisu proposed, all the senior executives listened intently, afraid of missing anything and making mistakes; they knew that with this new boss’s three new measures upon taking office, they could be burned back to their old lives of sleeping soundly at home.

Two hours later, the meeting officially ended--

The senior executives waited for Mu Zisu to leave the meeting room before they sat back down in their chairs with somewhat weak legs to catch their breath.

My god! This new president was indeed every bit as uncompromising as his father, firm and decisive in his actions. If they made the slightest mistake, they would have to pay the price!

After the meeting was over, Na Xiaoxiao went back to the president’s office with Mu Zisu.

"President Mu... This is the record of today’s meeting..."

"Hmm..."

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll go ahead and leave..." Na Xiaoxiao said as she put down the materials in her hand, ready to turn and leave, but Mu Zisu suddenly called out to her.

"Wait a second..."

Na Xiaoxiao turned around—

"From now on, you’ll be in charge of the entire secretarial office. You know what kind of people to hire, I don’t need to say more. Leave the rest to Yanqin..."

Na Xiaoxiao blinked twice and nodded, "Alright..."
