Miss Mu and the Canary

A month later.

"Is this what you've been busy with recently?" Putting down the planning book, the uncle looked at Mu Xing with a tolerant and gentle gaze, "You've always left early and returned late these past few months, and uncle hasn't had a heart-to-heart talk with you for a long time. Tell me." , What is your plan for this plan?"

The servant girl brought a cup of tea, and Mu Xing took a sip. After completing the plan, his impetuous and joyful mood gradually calmed down in the bitter tea fragrance.Recalling the language she had organized long ago, she said in a deep voice: "At first I checked the account books of the pharmacy branch, and found some mistakes and omissions..."

Because none of the three children of the family were willing to inherit the property of the Mu family, after Mu Gong retired to the second line, in addition to the medical center, the several pharmacies, factories and shops of the Mu family were shared with several relatives of the family, and the Mu family only charged Profit after commission.

But with many people and mixed hands, it is inevitable that many messy things will happen.Either they fight for power and profit, filling their own pockets; or they abuse the brand name of "Minkang" to make profits privately, but the quality of medicinal materials cannot be guaranteed, which ruins their reputation.

"I even heard that several uncles put their own salesmen in the main store to sell their own pills on consignment." Speaking of this, Mu Xing couldn't help but get angry, "A good pharmacy is messed up by these selfish desires!"

"It's not just the main store, the management of the branches is also very inappropriate. When I reconciled the account last month, I found that something was wrong. In April, the comprador bought 1000 yuan of American ginseng in the drug market. The sales record of American ginseng was recorded at a low price in the account book. , The loss is too exaggerated. I proposed to go to the warehouse to check last week, but Li Guanshi tried his best to refuse. There must be something strange in it, and I am afraid it will not be the only one."

Hearing what she said, my uncle didn't show any emotion, he just said: "So you want to change the status quo by reforming the management form?"

Mu Xing nodded and said: "Yes, but I just want to try it in this branch under my name first. Eliminate the consignment of other pharmacies, and change the commission salary system for the staff. Unified salary, but allow the staff to buy shares..."

After taking the planning book, Mu Xing explained his ideas clearly to his uncle one by one.

Uncle listened carefully, and from time to time raised some questions and ideas on some of the issues. Mu Xing listened, and the original thinking was expanded a lot, and the idea of ​​the plan was also improved a lot.

This discussion passed in one afternoon.

After the first round of discussion was over, Mu Xing happily closed the notes and said, "I'll change it when I go back and show it to you for review. If it's suitable, I want to implement it as soon as possible."

After taking a sip of tea, my uncle suddenly said, "However, your way of doing business seems familiar to me."

Seeing that his uncle pointed it out, Mu Xing scratched his hair in embarrassment: "This model is the idea I got from boss Zhang Derong, and I discussed it with him before. I have to say that this boss is really good at business management. There is a set..."

After listening to her, the uncle said slowly: "Then, have you ever thought about why Boss Zhang's method can be implemented in his shop?"

Mu Xing thought for a while: "Well...he has relatively few staff, and already has a self-sufficient pharmaceutical system, and has mastered some prescriptions from Japanese companies..."

She counted everything one by one, and felt that there was nothing missing. At this time, the uncle said: "In that case, Ah Xuan, do you think the situation of the Mu family is different from that of Boss Zhang?"

Hearing this, Mu Xing was taken aback.Uncle didn't speak any more, she thought for a while, and then said hesitantly: "Uncle, in fact, I have doubts in my heart for the past few days. I just took over at the beginning, and I have already discovered many problems. Uncle, how clear you are , it is impossible to be unclear."

There was no rebuttal, the uncle just said: "Ah Xuan, it is not easy to change the course."

Mu Xing frowned: "There is an old saying, 'If you don't stop, don't flow, you can't stop'. The current situation is that domestic products are booming and the domestic economy is developing. If we don't have the right to change, but just blindly hold on to the weak, how will the Mu family develop? What? Isn’t “improvement and reform” popular in China now? I think the reform of Mu’s industry can start from this branch!”

After closing the tea cover, the uncle sighed, and said slowly: "But Ah Xuan, uncle is already old."

Mu Xing, who was still speaking generously, hurriedly said: "Uncle! How could you say such a thing!"

Shaking his head, the uncle said: "Ah Xuan, you are a young man, pursuing progress is a good thing, but you can't just see the bright future in everything. Your eldest brother and second brother are not involved in business matters. My father also retired to the second line early. Our family’s several properties can be maintained largely because of the efforts of your uncles. They also have their own families, and it is not easy to rely on others. What, I don't want to care about it."

"Although you are willing to participate in some management now, just by looking at the contract, you should know that uncle didn't arrange for you to enter the system, but gave you the property directly. He just knows your temperament, even if you want to make any changes, It is only carried out in branch stores, and will not go deep into the system here, disrupting the balance that has been maintained for many years."

At first when she heard that her uncle didn't want to change it, Mu Xing was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, she understood something.

The second uncle and the others have been in joint management for several years, and have already formed a network of mutual checks. Now that they propose reforms, they will undoubtedly disrupt the balance.On the contrary, it provided an opportunity for them to unify to the outside world. Now that the uncle has retired to the second line, and the eldest brother and the second brother don't care about the matter, if something happens, the Mu family is afraid that it will be severely damaged.

These tricks were things that Mu Xing had never considered before, and now that her uncle pointed them out, she couldn't help but feel a little panic.

It turned out that the big ship that she had always thought was moving steadily was not steady underneath.

Xu Shi saw what Mu Xing was thinking, and his uncle said at the right time: "But you don't need to worry too much. Instead, your hands and feet are bound. Whatever you want to do, you can do it in the branch. Uncle will support you. Young man Ah, it’s better to try more. It doesn’t matter now, but the future is always yours.”

Nodding silently in agreement, Mu Xing withdrew his mind and decided to deal with his own branch first.Not everything can be done overnight, she should wait.

After chatting for a while, seeing his uncle's tired face, Mu Xing was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and said to his uncle: "I heard that the election of the chairman of the Medicine Merchant Chamber of Commerce is over. Boss Zhang lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully ran for the chairman One position. Yesterday he sent someone to send a greeting card, saying that he is looking forward to uncle's visit."

Uncle waved his hand: "You can go for me, and your second uncle, he is the one to negotiate this matter, then you can go with him."

Mu Xing agreed and withdrew.

Then she turned around and called Zhang Derong, and made an excuse to express that she wanted to celebrate with Zhang Derong in private, rather than attend a formal banquet.

Just kidding, she didn't want to attend with the second uncle, not to mention that the second uncle knew she was the Miss Mu family, and Zhang Derong only regarded her as the third son.Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for someone to talk too much at that time.

Moreover, some of the fake accounts she found out when she was handling accounts were in the name of her second uncle.

Although she had just heard her uncle talk about various pros and cons, she still felt awkward in her heart, and felt that she could no longer look directly at the seemingly gentle and amiable second uncle.

Back in the room, Mu Xing suddenly remembered to ask Fu Guang: "I asked you to call Li's Mansion before, did you call?"

Fu Guang hurriedly said: "I called. It said that Miss Li ordered her to rush to prepare her graduation thesis. She has no free time recently."

Mu Xing frowned.

Since Second Master Li's little happy event, she hadn't seen Li Yining for nearly two months.

Before, it was because of...Miss Bai's affairs, so I didn't have time to contact her.It's been more than a month, but she still can't get in touch. Since she knows Li Yining well, she really can't believe the excuse of writing a thesis.

But she asked herself that she hadn't offended Li Yining recently!

Puzzled, Mu Xing thought for a while, and said to Fu Guang: "When you call again tomorrow, just say that I will visit her in the Li Mansion in two days, please leave it blank."

Fuguang agreed.

The banquet time Zhang Derong set was the day after tomorrow. Before that, Mu Xing was still busy dealing with the prescription.

For more than a month, she has never stopped being busy-checking the books, thinking about reforming management, writing plans... By the way, she also contacted his girlfriend, the Japanese woman, through Song Youcheng.

She had never met this girl named Sayuri before, but when she saw her that day, she somewhat understood why Song Youcheng was so affectionate.

Sayuri is just like her name, she has a fresh and elegant appearance like a lily.She is very gentle, speaks softly, and has a particularly graceful and charming manner.Not to mention Song Youcheng, even Mu Xing couldn't help slowing down his tone when he saw her, for fear that her breath would be abrupt to this delicate lily.

Sayuri used to be a dancer in a ballroom, and Mu Xing wanted to know about Mr. Kudo who might have the prescription through her.

The Japanese have a strange temperament, and they only want to contact Japanese or Europeans in China, but Wenjiang is different from Shanghai, and there are few foreigners.Therefore, it is not surprising that Sayuri once received Mr. Kudo as expected.

Through Sayuri, Mu Xing learned something about Mr. Kudo, and also learned that Mr. Kudo has a nephew named Kudo Daxi.The two are as close as father and son, but this nephew is not very competitive, and he is addicted to pornography, gambling and drug career, which makes Mr. Kudo very upset, and has complained to Sayuri many times.

This is of course very useful information. Mu Xing took a break from his busy schedule and asked a few young masters who often hang out in casinos to inquire about it. He really heard about Kudo's great happiness.Through introduction and intentional contact, Mu Xing has become quite familiar with him.

Kudo Daxi is no different from those local playboys, relying on his uncle's wealth to spend extravagantly, he has already invested tens of thousands of dollars in Wenjiang's newly built casino - some of which are borrowed money , the interest rate comes down, and sooner or later it will become a huge sum of money.

The strict Mr. Kudo hates this behavior deeply. Although he loves his nephew, if he knows about it, he will never forgive him lightly.Therefore, Kudo Daxi, who now owes a huge sum of money, is on the verge of doom, but continues to gamble recklessly.

After Mu Xing got acquainted with him, he looked at this person's behavior with cold eyes, and felt that he was really hopeless.Just to get close to Mr. Kudo, it is necessary to deal with him once or twice.After going back and forth, the two gradually became acquainted, and she even lent some money to Kudo Daxi so that he could maintain his life.

Mu Xing originally planned to discuss the reform with his uncle today, so he continued to contact Kudo Daxi.

Putting on men's clothes again, he stood in front of the full-length mirror and took a picture. Seeing the two bluish black spots under his eyes in the mirror, Mu Xing suddenly felt a little tired.

For more than a month, she has also participated in various dinners.Where there are men, there will naturally be girls in the hall.After hesitating, she also asked Bai Yan to send a note several times, but she was rejected without exception.

All the round tickets sent out fell into the sea, and no reply was received.

When the big candle was lit that day, Bai Yan's words still echoed in her ears.What Bai Yan meant was clearly to continue looking for the next man - a real man who could provide her with a stable life.

Mu Xing knows that at least for now, she has no right to stop Bai Yan, but as long as she thinks that Bai Yan will laugh at Yan Yan at another person, and will be taken away by a man who does not know his identity, she only feels that she is going crazy !

But she had no way to relieve her anxiety and pain except to speed up her work and run forward desperately.

Taking a deep breath, she got up and walked out the door.

...

In Yuhua Book Apartment, it was another night of luxury and luxury.

Bai Yan sat alone in the room with a few round tickets in front of her.The bracelet on his wrist made a crisp sound when it was touched on the table, and his fingers stroked the tickets one by one.

Pingjin Restaurant, Zuihualou, Helen's Cafe...the bank tickets have different names, but they all have the same muscular character "Mu" written on them.

This word is dignified and powerful, stretched on the ticket, as if that person stood in front of her.

She didn't see her again, but she was able to stitch together all her whereabouts through each ticket, as if she was still standing by her side, arm in arm to accompany her through journeys again and again.

Since the big candle was lit that day, in the first few days, except for Mu Xing's invitation, Bai Yan did not receive any round tickets.But since she rejected Mu Xing's invitation again and again, some round tickets from other people gradually poured in. Compared with the passing of the lord, the few days when she first returned to the hall were even worse.

Unintentionally, she once again took the person she put in her heart as a stepping stone.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the room, and Bai Yan hurriedly put away the round tickets on the table: "Come in."

The bustard opened the door and walked in, holding a stack of game tickets in her hand.She was full of smiles, and before she could speak, Bai Yan already knew what she was going to say.

"Girl, Mr. Mu hasn't issued a game ticket to you these days, why don't you rush to pick up new customers, what are you doing sitting in this room bored?"

After lighting the big candle, Muma's attitude towards Bai Yan has become much more polite.After all, now Bai Yan is the one who can really "make money" for her.

Bai Yan didn't speak, but the bustard came over without paying attention, and straightened her hair at the sideburns.Just as she was about to speak, the bustard mother saw the round ticket in Bai Yan's hand with sharp eyes, rolled her eyes, and said again: "You young people, you like to do things about love and love. Didn't you say that Mr. Mu provoked you? Did you push his ticket on purpose when you got angry? Now that your son has accepted someone else's ticket, isn't it just to provoke Mr. Mu?"

Naturally, this was what Bai Yan lied to the bustard mother. She planned to never see Mu Xing again, and wanted to return to the original state of mind and track.But no matter what decision is made, no matter how the reason clamors, the heart that once loved can no longer pretend and deceive.

She didn't take any more tickets, because she missed Mu Xing for a moment.

But dreams will eventually wake up, and people will always live.

"Is there another round of tickets today?" She asked softly.

Seeing that she was about to let go, the bustard hurriedly laid out a stack of game tickets in her hand: "Which one do you want to pick up, you can see for yourself. It's getting late, if you don't come back at night, remember to ask your aunt to come back and tell me."

Looking at a pile of round tickets of all kinds, Bai Yan casually took out one: "Just this one."

The bustard took a look and hurriedly said, "New World Stadium? This is a good place."

Bai Yan responded indifferently, got up and began to tidy up.

...

The gambling ground where Daxi Kudo hangs out on a daily basis was originally a racetrack. After renovations at the beginning of this year, it was renamed the New World Stadium and opened for business.Because the gambling method is novel and interesting, it was very popular at the beginning of its business, and there was a lot of people every day, and there were endless contacts.

Mu Xing knew nothing about this kind of gambling method, and was not interested in it. Every time he bought a ticket to enter, and then bought a player's "win ticket" at random, and then he concentrated on dealing with Kudo Daxi. She doesn't care whether she wins or loses.

As soon as she entered the stadium, she was looking for Kudo Daxi, when she suddenly heard someone calling her: "Mr. Mu!"

Turning around, it was Tang Yu.

Mu Xing couldn't help but wonder: "Young Master Tang? I didn't expect to meet you here."

Tang Yu also seemed to have just arrived, so he walked up and said with a smile: "I heard Mr. Lin said that you often come here recently, but we haven't met each other for more than a month, so I also want to see if I can meet you. It just so happens that This casino was opened by a friend of mine, and I came here to play. I didn’t expect to meet you when I just walked in. Which team are you betting on?"

Mu Xing told the truth: "I can't even count how many teams there are. I just buy the one that suits my eyes." Then, she picked up the ticket and looked at it, "Oh, I bought the Number 3, called...'Misfortune'."

…doom?

Mu Xing felt unwell for no reason.

Tang Yu also took a look, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the 'Unlucky Ghost Team', I also bought this team, I heard that although this team is called 'Misfortune', the ball luck is quite 'lucky', every time It's crazy money every time I play. We might make a lot of money today."

Mu Xing smiled perfunctorily, and was thinking whether to go to Kudo or chat with Tang Yu for a while, Tang Yu had already taken the initiative to say: "You came alone today? Why don't I go and sit with my friend together?" , we all know each other.”

Kudo's affairs were not in a hurry, not to mention that after a busy month, Mu Xing really needed to relax, so he readily agreed: "That's fine."

Different from ordinary ring-mounted stands, Tang Yu's friend watched the game in the stand alone with the best view. Judging from its terrain, it looks like an isolated island in an ocean.

"I heard that this stand has the best view, and it's hard to find money." Tang Yu said.

Mu Xing answered absently, and glanced at the "isolated island".

There were already two people sitting on a small stand.A few steps away, only half of the back of the person can be seen.The man talking sideways should be Mr. Tang's friend, and the laughing one next to him...

With just one glance, Mu Xing felt his pupils tremble violently as if being hit hard, and the whole world was turned upside down.

Even across the entire universe, across thousands of mountains and rivers, she can still recognize it with just one glance, it is clearly...

"Here we are." The waiter leading the way said to the people in the stands: "Master, Mr. Tang and his friends have arrived."

Hearing this, the two people who were talking got up and turned their faces away.

Bai Yan raised her head, the smile on her face hadn't faded away, and the moment she met Mu Xing's gaze, it had dried up quickly, and her exaggerated smile was like a funny mask, covering up her beauty.

Mu Xing's pupils contracted violently, but he couldn't see anything clearly.Behind her was a roaring tide, but she felt as if she was on an isolated island, so quiet that it was frightening.

"Miss Bai?"
