"Brother Xia, don't stay too far away from me later." When Mu Siyu saw the maid entering the door, she took two steps back and said to Xia Kun behind her.
"Um."
After something like that happened, he didn't dare to make any more mistakes.
"Please..." The maid took her into the backyard and finally stopped at a place called "Rongyang Courtyard".
Youfu is indeed a big business. The courtyard is huge and the scenery in the courtyard is also very good. There are precious flowers and plants everywhere along the way, and the rockery is so exquisitely designed that even Mu Siyu would say it is unique and elegant.
"Madam is waiting for the young master to drink medicine. Please wait here for a moment, Madam Lu."
"good."
Mu Siyu found a seat and sat down.
Xia Kun stood behind her.
After experiencing the drowning incident, Xia Kun became more like a follower.
He was already 1.9 meters tall and was completely air-conditioned, so he looked quite intimidating when he stood there.
The maid who brought tea and snacks put the things away and glanced at Xia Kun curiously. When Xia Kun looked over, she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and slowly backed away.
Mu Siyu handed a cup of tea to Xia Kun.
"Don't drink." Xia Kun said.
Mu Siyu didn't care and drank it herself.
There are many famous paintings in the guest room. After all, she has painting skills, so she can naturally tell the quality. Looking at the furniture here, they are all made of fine rosewood.
"Sorry for the long wait." A somewhat rough voice sounded.
Mu Siyu looked up, and when she saw the woman walking in, her eyes widened in surprise.
"It's you."
She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a good headdress on her head. Her whole person was completely renewed, just like a pool of stagnant water turned into living water, injected with new vitality.
"It's me, Mrs. Lu."
Dream home. Mu Siyu held her face in her hands and stood there in a daze, looking at the scene of people coming and going on the street. She suddenly felt that the modern feasting and feasting were so far away from her, as if it had happened in her previous life.
Isn’t this the previous life?
Maybe women are really creatures that easily adjust themselves, so that person would make that decision.
"You don't know! How well the book "Two-Way Mirror" is selling, I managed to grab this copy with great difficulty." A young man said to his companions while selecting the furniture he liked.
"It's really hard to buy. I can't even buy it even if I want to."
Mu Siyu touched her chin.
She seems to have figured it out.
"You guys keep watching here, I'll go out for a while."
Hongwen Hall. Mu Siyu is an old acquaintance here, and the guys took the initiative to say hello when they saw her. She said she wanted to find Manager Fang, and someone immediately took her in.
"Manager Fang?" Mu Siyu greeted with a smile.
Manager Fang proofread the manuscript, looked up at Mu Siyu, and saw that there was nothing in her hand, and said coldly: "I haven't handed in the new book, so I have nothing to say to you."
"Don't be like this!" Mu Siyu took a few steps forward: "I have a business to discuss with you."
"Tell me and listen."
"It's like this. I can urge my brother-in-law to hand in the sixth volume earlier, but there is a condition. Can Guanshi Fang sell me fifty copies of his new book? I plan to sign and sell these fifty copies as a reward.
To my guests.”
"Signing books?" Manager Fang put down the pen in his hand and looked interested: "Let's talk about it."
Mu Siyu and Manager Fang explained the meaning of book signing. Manager Fang immediately became energetic and said, "I can sell you fifty copies, but your brother-in-law has to sign two hundred copies."
"Since it's a book signing, let's do something even more different. Find a few good painters, and we can turn the two hundred copies of the book signing into high-quality editions. Not only will the book quality be better, but the content inside will be better.
There need to be a few more illustrations, plus the signature of the person who wrote the book, and the price...of course it will be different, right?"
"In that case, two hundred books are not enough, right?" Manager Fang thought thoughtfully.
"Master Steward, since it is a high-quality book, in addition to being of better quality, it also means that there are not many. Things are rare and valuable. If high-quality books are everywhere and you can buy them as much as you want, what is the difference between them and ordinary books? Who
Are you willing to pay such a high price for something so easily available?"
"Okay, you have a brain." Manager Fang said, "In that case, you can ask your uncle to write the sixth volume as soon as possible. Then it will be up to you."
"Thank you, Uncle Fang." Mu Siyu shouted sweetly.
She looked around and said sheepishly: "Uncle Fang, your place is quite messy. Do you want me to make some cabinets for you to store documents?"
"Ha! Did you come here to do business?" Manager Fang said angrily: "Let's get the sixth volume out first. If it sells well, it's not impossible."
"Then you must earn well!"
Xia Kun looked at Mu Siyu who was walking in front and humming a tune.
She lived so diligently and hard every day, and although there were many twists and turns, she never complained about the unfairness of her fate.
She always kept that smile on her face, as if nothing could defeat her. She was obviously just a little girl, but she lived with more vigor than men.
When I got back to my dream home, the guy who delivered the lumber came over.
There is a shop in the front and a workshop in the back. Mu Siyu usually does carpentry work there, and the guys will call her in the back hall only when something cannot be handled well.
In addition to the workshop, there are also bedrooms for several workers, as well as huts, small kitchens, etc.
"Boss, this batch of wood is a bit wet, look..."
The boy who delivered the lumber cried sadly: "I'm sorry, just now... the truck I was pulling lumber overturned, and all the goods fell into the water. I didn't mean to do it."
Mu Siyu checked it and made sure there was no major problem, then said: "I can receive the goods, but this batch of goods has been contaminated with water. I will not pay the original price. I should have paid you three taels of silver and two hundred dollars, then
I won’t pay the small change, you can make up for it out of your own pocket!”
The waiter sighed, thanked Mu Siyu, collected the money and left.
Kite and the others watched the guy walk away sympathetically.
"Do you think I shouldn't deduct money from him?" Mu Siyu asked after seeing everyone's expressions.
"No, there is something wrong with the goods he delivered. It's okay if the owner refuses to accept them. If the owner doesn't accept them, he will definitely be scolded by the boss for taking those goods back, and even the money will be deducted. The owner is willing to accept his goods.
I have been extra kind to him." Kite said.
"That's right. I don't have to accept his goods, and they have no reason to complain about me. If I come to their door, their boss will have to compensate me. This is a business place." Mu Siyu said: "But this batch
The product is still usable, and the impact is not big. I can accept it, but I have to teach him a lesson, let him understand that there is a price to pay for doing wrong things, and it is not just an apology. He will be more careful in doing things in the future.
, maybe a bigger disaster can be avoided.”
"My boss is right, we will be careful and we must not take any chances," Jiang Zhong said.
