The female boss of destiny, even villains have to work for me

Mu Zhou took the initiative to ask to see the painting that was worth one hundred thousand taels. Du Ran thought about it and reluctantly agreed, but kept reminding her not to touch it with her hands to avoid damaging it.

"The solitary yellow can still stand proudly in the west wind, and its falling petals can break one's heart. Even if the east wind blows brightly, it cannot drown out the cuckoo's cry in the forest."

Mu Zhou recited the poem on the painting word by word in a low voice, as if he was thinking about something.

"You understand poetry?" Du Ran was a little surprised.

Mu Zhou shook his head: "I am a common man and I don't understand the affectation of these literati and poets!"

"Then you act like you understand!"

"Is this the priceless painting that Yu Chengfeng told you about?"

"Yup!"

"I don't think it's that great. He must have tricked you!" Mu Zhou looked at the painting with disdain.

"What if you don't understand painting? If you can appreciate it, you'll be a great painter!"

Mu Zhou did not argue any more. He looked around the room and asked, "Madam, you put this painting here so openly. What if someone steals it?"

Du Ran immediately ran over and slapped Mu Zhou's mouth three times, muttering as he slapped his mouth: "Bad words don't work, good words work!"

Mu Zhou was hit and felt some pain, so he quickly hid aside, questioning with some confusion and grievance: "My Lady, what are you doing!"

"I told you not to talk nonsense. If you talk nonsense again next time, slap yourself in the face!" Du Ran was a little angry.

"I'm kindly reminding you that your room has no defenses at all. It's naturally unsafe to leave such valuables there!" Mu Zhou continued to explain: "I thought if I didn't put it in my room, others would definitely not dare to come to my room. Otherwise, I would beat them into a pulp in a minute!"

This reminded Du Ran.

"You're right, but you can't talk like that, it's too harsh!" Du Ran said dissatisfiedly, "You said so much and you just want my painting worth one hundred thousand?"

Mu Zhou was so anxious that he nearly jumped up. He frantically tried to explain that his intention was to protect the painting, not to keep it for himself, nor to destroy it. However, the more he explained, the more confusing it became, and Du Ran's face showed more and more suspicion.

"Empress, do you believe me?" Mu Zhou had no choice but to give up and come up with this meaningless moral kidnapping.

Without a doubt, Du Ran shook his head: "Mu Zhou, you are suspicious."

Mu Zhou was too lazy to explain any more. He hung his head and sighed, "My Queen, I'm really tired!"

"You are tired, but I am even more tired!" Du Ran retorted.

Just as Mu Zhou was about to leave with his shoulders drooped, Du Ran stopped him again: "Why don't you just tell me you want to keep it for me? Why are you talking so much nonsense? Don't I know your kung fu? You're the best in the martial arts world!"

Du Ran's praise had an effect, and Mu Zhou straightened his back.

"I'll feel at ease leaving it with you, as long as you don't have any bad intentions!" As he said that, Du Ran carefully took the painting off the wall, then rolled it up and solemnly placed it in Mu Zhou's hands, as if he was performing a special and sacred handover ceremony.

"Your Majesty, you know best whether my intentions are right or not! Besides, my jade token is still with you, and it is priceless!" Mu Zhou said with a smile on his face.

"Cousin, when the winery is renovated and opened, can you come over to look after the store? You will be the second manager, and I will pay you monthly wages according to this standard." Seeing the winery's decoration taking shape, Du Ran could no longer contain his joy.

Xu Bingxia agreed readily.

"Princess, you didn't come to the restaurant yesterday so you don't know that Zuixianju has recently held a parade of floats, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The top star of the restaurant dressed up gorgeously and stood on a carriage full of flowers, swinging some small things in her hands, winking at the onlookers outside, and deliberately walking in front of our restaurant, dawdling as if provoking her." Xu Bingxia complained dissatisfiedly: "I saw the young man in the restaurant waving and saying hello to her several times. I asked Doctor Liu to negotiate with them once, but Doctor Liu's eyes almost grew on her body. Now there are fewer and fewer customers in the nightclub, almost no one, and even fewer people eating in the restaurant during the day. If this continues, what will happen to our restaurant?"

"There's actually such a thing?" Du Ran was shocked: "Float parade? It's amazing that they could come up with this!"

Liu Xihua, who was not in the lobby just now, suddenly appeared, ran to the door excitedly, and looked around: "The float parade has started? Which young lady is it today?!!"

Xu Bingxia's face darkened as she gave him a critical hit, then she silently said, "Why don't you join the parade!"

Liu Xihua touched his head and huddled silently in the corner, looking aggrieved, but his eyes that kept glancing out betrayed him.

Xu Bingxia looked at Liu Xihua with disdain, then turned her head and said helplessly: "Look, the effect of the float parade is really good."

"Then let's do it too!" Du Ran said, rubbing his hands together, "They are marching, so let's march too, let's see who can march better!"

"Ah?" This voice was not made by Xu Bingxia. Liu Xihua, who had been hiding in the corner just now, ran over excitedly: "Princess, are you telling the truth? Is there going to be a young lady in our store too?"

Du Ran's face was filled with black lines, and he punched Liu Xihua on the forehead: "Doctor Liu, please wake up! There will be no young ladies in our shop! Never! Just give up on this idea!"

Liu Xihua shrank into the shadows in the corner again.

"Princess, are you going to use the guys in our store to participate in the parade?" Xu Bingxia was a little worried, fearing that the parade would attract rotten eggs and vegetable leaves.

Du Ran nodded, full of longing: "Cosplay, I'm eager to try it!"

Xu Bingxia said she didn't understand.

"They have beauties, we have handsome guys; they have flowers, we have myths!" Du Ran was quite confident about this. He walked to the counter, picked up a pen, and wrote quickly. The parade took shape.

"Princess, why did you write stories like Houyi shooting down the sun, Jingwei filling the sea, and Kuafu chasing the sun?" Xu Bingxia asked puzzledly.

"Of course it will be played by the handsome guy in our store. The bronze muscles and the battle robe are absolutely eye-catching!" Du Ran's eyes lit up. Xu Bingxia still didn't quite understand, but she only needed to understand the word 'muscles'. It was enough to make people look forward to it.

When it was time for the Zuixianju float parade, Du Ran stood at the door of Xusheng Restaurant and stared fiercely at the woman on the float. She was about to strike a coquettish pose in front of Liu Xihua and the others, but now she turned around and faced the crowd behind her.

Liu Xihua was obviously a little disappointed, but because Du Ran was still there, he could only take a few sneak glances and then reluctantly watched the float go away. The lady on today's float was his favorite Lotus Lady. He wondered when the next time she would parade would be, Liu Xihua thought with regret.

"Liu Xihua, your habit of looking at the basin while eating is quite unacceptable! Your cousin is right beside you, and you are staring at another young lady. Are you worthy of her?" Du Ran lectured.

Liu Xihua nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would not make the same mistake again.

Du Ran also understood in his heart that men always think differently from what they do. They always admit their mistakes verbally but are stubborn in their hearts.
