Chapter 148: The Price Must Be Paid
"I didn't expect you to be quite powerful! In this way, it was easy for the Mu family to do this. Du Xiulan put her hands in the pockets of her nurse's uniform and said as she walked.
"Who made her so bad, and the Mu family was so bullying. It's my honor to be able to vent this evil breath for Sister Xiulan and your sister. Ji Xiao didn't have the publicity of that day, but like a well-behaved baby.
"It's just you, so good to our sisters." Du Xiulan smiled and pulled out her hand and grabbed Ji Xiao, "But, your heart is soft, and you know how to save some face for them." β
"Where is the saving face, if I can go up and give her a few big ear scrapers, I will go up directly. Am I not afraid of causing trouble? I checked that thing, and I used it for the most rashes, and in a few days, it will disappear by itself. β
Ji Xiao pursed his lips, suddenly remembered something, and then said unhappily, "Didn't we go out to play the night before yesterday, and when we went back a little late, we bumped into the one named Mu Yi at the door of my house." As you say, arrogant can't! Seeing her like that, I couldn't wait to take more medicine at that time to make it more serious! β
She made an angry look on her teeth.
"What are you afraid of, with my sister and brother-in-law here, who would dare to take you? Besides, you helped my sister teach her a lesson from the Menmu family this time, and my sister hasn't had time to thank you yet! Another day, let my sister and brother-in-law invite your father to dinner together. Du Xiulan is still very suitable for this kind of person who is on her side and shares the same hatred with her.
smiled, suddenly smiled, paused and looked at Ji Xiao, "What did you just say?" Mu Yi went to your house? β
Ji Xiao nodded. "yes, I don't know what I'm going to do, but I guess it's for that."
Seeing that Du Xiulan immediately frowned, she immediately smiled and patted Du Xiulan's arm, "Don't worry, I did this quietly." I found out the time that no one was there at that time, not to mention that someone was turning over the medicinal herbs every day, and the air happened to be a little damp that day, and no one was suspicious. My dad didn't even know. Even if she came to the door, she couldn't ask anything. β
"Yikes! Xiaoxiao, you are amazing! It's getting smarter! Du Xiulan immediately put on a smiling face.
"Where, it's not Sister Xiulan, you teach well." Ji Xiao stepped forward affectionately and leaned on Du Xiulan's shoulder.
With the sound of "clicking" little high heels stepping on the floor, the two walked past Mu Yi and the others with a smile.
Looking at the backs of the two of them for a while, Mu Yi retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Wei Qing who was standing on the side, "Can you do me a favor?" β
Weiqing raised an eyebrow.
Mu Yi nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you." β
As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Weiqing's shoulder.
The green pigeon and Momofuku next to him looked at each other: Is this an exchange and discussion?
Qingfeng Building.
Between the wind and the moon.
"Wow, it's still Tian Tian, your family is amazing, what about Qingfenglou, every time I want to come to Qingfenglou for a meal, my father is too expensive, and he says that he can't always come to eat." Ji Xiao said something, and didn't hold it at all, "Come with you for a meal today, you can't dislike me for not seeing the world." β
Saying that, Ji Xiao picked up the chopsticks very innocently and cutely, and neatly put them neat.
"I said that I would like you, of course, casually. My dad is very strict with me on weekdays, but he is very lenient about eating. Say, you can not care about the side, but eat, you must eat well. He also said that when we are all growing bodies, we have to eat well to be healthy. β
Tian Tian pushed the menu to Ji Xiao and Du Xiulan, "What's more, I said before that I would invite you to dinner, thank you for taking care of me." Please be casual, please both of you, naturally I want to invite you to the best. β
After a pause, he then looked at Du Xiulan, whose face was not very good, "Sister Xiulan, I didn't come here often before, let's shal, you are the most well-informed, I heard that you used to be a frequent visitor to Qingfeng Building, you should know all the dishes in Qingfeng Building, why don't you order first?" β
Don't talk about this, Du Xiulan is fine.
As soon as he said this, his face became even more ugly, thinking that because Mu Yan couldn't get in by himself, he didn't come again in order to save shame.
But now, no one stopped her.
"Yes, yes, Sister Xiulan is the best at ordering." Ji Xiao turned his head and looked at Du Xiulan with a smile, but saw that her face changed, and asked with concern: "Sister Xiulan, what's wrong with you?" β
But this matter of being stopped in Qingfeng Tower, Du Xiulan couldn't tell the two people in front of her, she just smiled and said that it was okay.
Then I casually reported the dishes I ordered when I came to eat before.
In fact, they can't come often for Qingfenglou's consumption.
came a few times, and they all came with Du Xiurong and Song Xichu.
But Du Xiulan will definitely not tell the two of them.
Her absent-minded state fell in Ji Xiao's eyes, but she seemed relatively calm, which made Ji Xiao can't help but say "wow" again.
In addition to the two dishes ordered by Du Xiulan, Ji Xiao looked at the menu again and ordered a few dishes with names that looked delicious.
While a few people were waiting for the food, they drank cold drinks and chatted with each other.
chatted about work for a while, complained about patients for a while, and then the three of them talked about the matching of makeup and clothes, which were all topics that girls liked to talk about at first.
"Eh, by the way, do you know that the Mu family's balm shop has had an accident recently?" When it came to rouge, Tian Tian mentioned it casually, holding the cup and taking a sip of the drink.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Du Xiulan and Ji Xiao both froze in unison, and they glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything.
"You don't know, huh?" Tian Tian looked at the two of them in surprise, and then put them away in just a second, and then had a look of disgust, "I'll tell you, but don't go to the Mu family's balm shop to buy things again, I heard that the things they have there will cause rashes when used." β
"Really?" Du Xiulan replied without saltiness, and also picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"yes." Tian Tian glanced at Du Xiulan, turned the cup, and continued: "It also deserves an accident at their house, last time, I bought rouge at their house, and it didn't take long to take it back, the rouge box was broken, and the rouge color faded quickly!" I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, it really is! β
Tian Tian had a frightened look on his face, and then patted his chest.
He supported the table with his elbows, supported his chin with his hands, and said with a smile, "I don't know if God opened his eyes and cleaned them up!" β
"Hey! When God opens his eyes, I'm afraid that if it weren't for you, the rouge box will be used several times. Ji Xiao snorted, drank the drink with his hand, and poured himself a glass again, which was a little delicious, smashed it and smashed it, "What kind of God, it's you Sister Xiaoxiao and I......"
"Xiaoxiao!" Du Xiulan interrupted Ji Xiao vigilantly.
But Ji Xiao doesn't have a city like her, whoever is good to her, she is good to whom, it's very simple.
Seeing that Tian Tian invited her to eat delicious food, and also complained about the Mu family with them, she didn't feel anything. I thought I was still in the same camp as myself.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" Tian Tian asked suspiciously.
Ji Xiao threw a reassuring look at Du Xiulan, and then said to Tian Tian, his tone and expression were full of pride and pride: "I'll tell you, I did it!" β
"What?!" Tian Tian exclaimed, "You mean ......"
Because I was so surprised, I swallowed the next words as if I was covering my mouth at the same time.
Then he stammered, "You mean ......?" β
The words were not finished, but the excitement was well expressed.
"Don't know, do you?" Ji Xiao smiled proudly, and then stretched out his finger and gestured in the air, "You have to promise me, you can't tell others!" β
"Got it, got it!" Tian Tian nodded again and again.
After a pause, and just as they were about to say something more, they heard a knock on the door, and then the clerk pushed the door in and served them food.
So, in the room, the sound of conversation stopped abruptly.
After waiting for the good food, the clerk exited the door and closed the door.
After a few more seconds, Tian Tian controlled his voice, and it didn't seem too small, and asked curiously, "You...... How did you do that? β
Looking at Tian Tian's look of adoration, Ji Xiao was a little floating, "Well, it's hard to say, and it's simple." Mainly, it's because my dad is a raw herb dealer who supplies their balm shop. I took advantage of the gap between drying medicinal materials at home, boiled the medicine into a medicinal juice, mixed it in, and then dried it, so I couldn't see it at all. Then the Mu family bought this batch of medicinal materials to make balm raw materials, and after making them, people who naturally used them would have rashes! β
"Yes...... What if something big happens? Tian Tian frowned and asked hesitantly.
Seeing that Tian Tian was a little withdrawn and scared, Ji Xiao patted the back of her hand soothingly, "Don't worry, I have a mastery of it, and there will be no big incidents, so I will have a rash in the sky for a few days." β
"And ah, this symptom, even if you don't seek medical attention, will go away on its own." Seeing that Tian Tian's face softened, Ji Xiao let go of her hand and spoke again with high spirits, "Besides, I'm a medical student, so I definitely can't joke with people's lives." Just teach them a lesson, don't be so self-righteous! β
"Wow!" Tian Tian's eyes were about to pop up, "In a very modern sentence, how can you say it?" Oh! It's handsome! β
"Hey, hey! At most, I can count this as a harm to the people! Who made them so bullying usually! Ji Xiao smiled, took another cup and took a big sip of juice.
"Ahem...... Du Xiulan clenched her fists and coughed to her lips.
Ji Xiao, who just picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, immediately turned around and put the chopsticks in Du Xiulan's bowl after hearing the sound.
Then he turned his head and immediately said to Tian Tian, "This matter, the main thing, is that Sister Xiulan has a good idea." β
"I'll tell you." Ji Xiao immediately sandwiched another piece of braised pork for you and fed it to her mouth, it was so delicious that she felt that the whole world was beautiful. "Wow! It's so delicious! β
Ji Xiao fed the remaining half of the braised pork into his mouth with one hand, pulled Tian Tian's sleeve with the other hand and shook it, squinting his eyes happily.
"Then aren't you afraid that the Mu family will hold your family accountable when the time comes?" Tian Tian asked.
"Afraid of what?" Ji Xiaoman didn't care, stretched out his chopsticks, picked a piece of fish, picked the thorns, and said while picking, "What evidence do they have?" When the medicinal herbs were collected, they also checked them themselves, who can blame them? Anyway, it's their balm shop that has an accident now, and they didn't say that we had a problem with the raw materials before we first did it! β
After picking the thorn, he fed the fish meat into his mouth, and felt that it was good, so he sandwiched another piece, "Besides, even if it is found that there is a problem with the medicinal materials." When we sent it over, they didn't say anything, who knows if they did it themselves and framed our Ji family? And our Ji family has been supplying medicinal materials to the Mu family's balm shop for so many years, and there has been nothing wrong with it in these years, as soon as she Mu Yi took over the business, something happened, do you blame our Ji family or her? β
"That makes sense." Tian Tian nodded thoughtfully, seeing that Ji Xiao was eating happily, he also took chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of fish for her, "Or you guys think about things thoughtfully." If you want me, I can't think of it, I've long been dizzy by myself. β
"What's this!" Ji Xiao laughed twice, put the chopsticks on the bowl with a "snap", made a crisp sound, and then let out a bold statement, "If their Mu family is still bullying people like that, I, Ji Xiao, will clean them up!" β
As soon as he heard this, the most excited person was not Tian Tian.
It's Boss Ji in the private room next door.
He sat in the private room next door, listened to the whole process, and was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and he almost kicked his legs and sent him directly to the hospital!
In particular, in this room, not only him, but also Mu Yi and Yu Zimei.
Previously, he swore that their Ji family's medicinal materials were fine, but now it was not only their Ji family's medicinal materials that had a problem, but also his daughter's ghost!
Boss Ji was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to go next door to pull this girl out and beat her up.
"Boss Ji." Mu Yi stepped forward and grabbed Boss Ji.
She advised, "You calm down, the most important thing at the moment is not to discipline Miss Ji." β
When she said the word "discipline", she looked at Boss Ji's rolled up sleeves, "Miss Ji is a practitioner, and she also said that she is still measured." It shows that her heart is still good, it's just that she was careless in making friends, and then you can guide her well, just fine. β
Ji Xiao is Boss Ji's palm treasure, he is angry, but in the end, where is he willing to really beat her.
If he beat Ji Xiao, how could he be worthy of her dead mother.
Seeing that Mu Yi also spoke for Ji Xiao, it was equivalent to giving him the stairs, and if he wanted to insist on going out again, it would be his fault.
No matter how much he does this, he can't compare to Mu Yi, a little girl.
"Old lady, this matter, you see ......" Boss Ji was also panicked at this time, "It was because I had no way to discipline that I caused such a big incident, and the second young master is still in it now, if not, what should I do, my old Ji has nothing to say." Just ......"
He paused, hesitating, "It's just...... Can you not hold the little girl responsible? β
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the room again.
After all, Yu Zimei is also a parent, and now she is still taking care of her grandchildren, so she doesn't know how to love her children.
"But Boss Ji......" Yu Zimei spoke, her tone full of amazement.
"Old lady, what should I do, I will listen to you. Even if I go and replace the second young master, it will be done. Boss Ji is still sincere, "Come to think of it, you brought up the two young masters and young ladies, and you also understand my feelings as an old father, Xiaoxiao She lost her mother when she was a child, it was I who spoiled her too much, and indulged her to let her poke such a big basket, in the final analysis, the son does not teach, the father is at fault." Let me do anything! β
Although Mu Yi didn't understand this kind of feeling, listening to Boss Ji's sincere words, he said in his heart that he was not moved, it must be false.
"Grandma." As soon as Mu Yi opened his mouth, he found that his voice was a little hoarse.
Yu Zimei is also difficult to do, after all, the two families have been friends for many years, and there is such a thing happening, there is a feeling that I can't be angry, I can't fight, I can't scold, I can only hold it in my heart.
This originally cooperated very well with the Ji family, otherwise it would not have cooperated for so many years.
But if Ji Xiao is held accountable, the cooperation between the two families will definitely blow off in the future, and even if the fault party is the Ji family, he may resent the Mu family's unkindness later.
But if this is not investigated, the second child in this family is still inside, so it will not be impossible to do nothing!
"Grandma." Mu Yi called Yu Zimei again, and when she saw her looking at herself, she continued, "As I said just now, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the current situation, not to hold Ji Xiao responsible." β
Hearing this, Boss Ji seemed to have found a life-saving straw in drowning, looked at Mu Yi, held his breath, and wanted to hear what she said later.
Boss Ji naturally knows the seriousness of this matter.
That's why he said that he could do anything, just don't pursue Ji Xiao.
If you do something wrong, you should be punished, and this will be punished sooner or later.
He has lived most of his life, and he must understand this truth.
And as a parent, I hope that in my lifetime, I can block it for my children.
"I have an immature, maybe naΓ―ve idea." Mu Yan glanced at Boss Ji, and immediately withdrew her gaze, she found that she couldn't see this kind of expression.
After a pause, he adjusted his mood for a moment before he said, "It's better for our Mu family to carry this matter down." Take on all the problems. β
"Gardenia!" Yu Zimei didn't call her affectionately now, but called "Xiao Gardenia", which shows that she is very dissatisfied with this decision.
"Grandma, listen to me first." Before Mu Yi had this idea, she had already thought that she would be opposed to this situation, and Yu Zimei's reaction was a little better than she expected. "Now whether we make it public or not, everyone recognizes that there is a problem with our Mu family's balm, they don't care if it's the raw materials or the production process, what they care about is that there is a problem with the things they bought."
"After all, they are not here for any raw materials and superb skills, but for our Mu family's signboard, which is easy to use. These are completely superficial. Since these are superficial problems, we should solve them fundamentally ourselves, but in the face of the public, we must also solve them superficially, which should be the right direction. β
After listening to Mu Yi's words, Yu Zimei also calmed down, chewed on the content, and felt that what she said was not unreasonable, thought for a while, and then asked Mu Yi: "Then what do you say to do?" β
"It's better to break the kettle!"
Mu Yi looked at Yu Zimei and Boss Ji, took a deep breath, and then said: "Admit that there is something wrong with this batch of balm, compensate all those who have bought the balm, and then destroy the balm in public!" β
She spoke in a firm and resolute tone.
This aura, and this kind of thinking, is something that neither Yu Zimei nor Boss Ji will have.
In their eyes, they generally adopt a conservative approach, and naturally, they will not come up with such a risky gamble-like approach.
"Since this thing is told by Ji Xiao, even if it is not treated, it will be better for itself. That means that the problem is not big, and the compensation will not be too much. In our family's balm shop, the balm sold is recorded, and the compensation issue is relatively simple. β
Mu Yi knew what he thought, and he might be a little crazy.
But for her inexperienced, this was the only way she came up with something that she thought was pretty good.
"Although we destroyed this batch of balm, it was a large part of the loss. But even if we don't destroy it in public, this batch of balm can no longer be used, and it is still lost, so it is better to use it on the blade when it is finally disposed of! β
Mu Yi told Yu Zimei her thoughts one by one.
"In addition, we admit that the problem of the balm is a bit of a smash of the Mu family's signboard. But we can also show the public that we are determined to do business with integrity and conscience. Regardless of whether you come to the Mu family's shop to buy things in the future, our determination and attitude are here, at least ...... Let the panic of the public be calmed a little. β
"It's quite risky, and it's a bit like a madman would do." Mu Yi saw that Yu Zimei was silent and did not speak, and Boss Ji was also stunned, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then took a deep breath and added, "When Grandpa was alive, he didn't often say that blessings and misfortunes depended on each other. Who knows if because of this, our Mu family will become famous and go up instead? β
Hearing this, Yu Zimei raised her head sharply and looked at Mu Yi with her hands behind her back, tilting her head, and her eyes were shining.
Although this temperament and momentum are not at all, the look and confidence are very similar to her grandfather Mu Shize!
Yu Zimei, who watched it, was a little faintly excited.
Mu Yi saw that Yu Zimei was moved, so he knew that there was a spectrum, and continued: "And the last one is ......"
She paused, looked at Boss Ji, and then slowly spoke: "The Ji family and the Mu family have been partners for many years. We can all trust Boss Ji's character, although this matter is Boss Ji's negligence, but it is really no wonder that Boss Ji. β
"Uncle Ji is such a daughter as Ji Xiao, and it can be seen that Ji Xiao's heart is not bad." Seeing Boss Ji's eyes of joy and gratitude, Mu Yi looked away a little uncontrollably, "Since our Mu family has chosen to take this matter, don't embarrass Boss Ji and Ji Xiao." β
"Miss Mu......" After hearing this, Boss Ji could be said to be in tears, a lot of age, in front of a little girl like Mu Yi, choked up.
"Boss Ji, don't thank me yet." Mu Yi hurriedly interrupted Boss Ji's words, tried to control his breathing and emotions, and said as smoothly as possible: "None of us want such a thing to happen, but it has happened." Although the friendship and trust between the two of us are here, everyone is in business after all, and we don't want to lose all our money. You see, can you send the ingredients for our next batch of balms to make up for this time? After this time, we will still sign the contract at the original price for future orders. β
When Boss Ji heard it, isn't it too good to be better?
It is equivalent to their Ji family, and someone should have gone in to eat cold rice, but now, not only did they let go of the Ji family, but also preserved the reputation of the Ji family, and even the future cooperation was still there, but there was only a batch of medicinal materials, that is, let him give the Mu family medicinal materials at half price in the future!
"Okay! Okay, okay! Boss Ji nodded again and again, it can be said that he was ecstatic.
But after finishing speaking, seeing that Yu Zimei didn't say anything, she looked embarrassed again, and looked at Yu Zimei worriedly, "Old lady, this ......"
Yu Zimei didn't respond immediately, took the tea next to her, took two sips, put it back, and was silent for nearly half a minute, nodding slowly, "I think it's feasible." β
"Hey!" Boss Ji wiped a handful of old tears with a smile, bent down and bowed deeply to Yu Zimei, "Thank you, old lady, thank you, old lady!" β
After bowing to Yu Zimei, he turned around again and bowed deeply to Mu Yi, "Thank you, Miss Mu!" β
Yu Zimei was already old, and it was the fault of the Ji family, so she deserved to be so deserved.
But Mu Yi is a junior, so she can't do it, so she hurriedly reached out to help, "Uncle Ji, don't do this, I can't stand it." β
"Afford it! Afford it! Boss Ji choked up and repeated, wiping away a handful of tears again.
It took a while to calm down after standing in place, and then he said, "In that case, I'll go home first and discipline my unscrupulous girl and medicinal herbs, and I'll go and prepare." You can rest assured, this time, I will personally supervise the whole process and will never give up half the difference pool! β
After speaking, Boss Ji turned around and left.
In the room, after being quiet for a while, Yu Zimei said slowly: "Our family has grown up and can be on their own." β
"Grandma made fun of me. I'm all foolish. Mu Yi said with a smile, and then said to Yu Zimei, "But grandma, although I am so trusting with Boss Ji, after that, the medicinal materials sent to the balm shop must be carefully checked by a doctor who understands." β
Looking at Yu Zi's smiling eyes, Mu Yi explained, "I'm not talking about Boss Ji, I mean whether it's Boss Ji or other partners. We have to eat a trench and grow wise, just like this time, it is not Boss Ji himself who wants to pit us, and this kind of thing may not happen again in the future. Trust us to give what should be given, but we must always be vigilant. β
"Hehe......" Yu Zimei covered her mouth and laughed, then reached out and nodded Mu Yi's forehead, "Nan Nan is getting more and more like doing business!" Don't worry, although grandma is old, this is still not confused. β
Mu Yicai suddenly scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and stuck out his tongue, "I'm sorry, grandma, am I playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong?" β
"What a count! It's really surprising that you can think of this, but ah, grandma is very pleased. Yu Zimei looked at Mu Yi with a smile, and raised her hand to press the broken hair that fell from Mu Yi's forehead behind her ears, "My nan, I will soon be able to support our Mu family's business." β
"What's the matter, I'm still too tender, I still have to learn from my grandmother."
"What to learn, grandma should teach, almost all of them have taught you, and then it's time for you to practice." Yu Zimei said softly, "But ah, my nannan can get along with such a good way to deal with such things, and grandma doesn't have to worry too much." β
"This matter ......" Mu Yi muttered, thinking of what Ji Xiao said.
Du Xiulan and Du Xiurong......
She narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a while, turned her head and said to Yu Zimei, "Grandma, I want to do something, don't stop me!" β
"What?"
"You don't have to worry about anything, anyway, you believe that I won't let the Mu family suffer such a wrongful time in vain, and I won't let the second brother go in such a trip in vain, there are always people who have to pay some price!"
