Chapter 49: In the Mu Family
Mu Feng, the eldest son on the side, hurriedly explained: "Father, the demand for Chinese herbal medicines is still very large, but the planting cycle is long, the cost is large, and the process is almost to the limit, and it is difficult to further develop." Therefore, in terms of planting business, I am afraid that it is going to the top. β
The old man listened, nodded and said, "You can do it to this point, you are good." β
As he spoke, the old man continued to look at the financial report, and then his face sank, "What is Mu Lei doing, the medicinal herb sales business he is responsible for has decreased again this month, and this has been a decline in performance for three consecutive months." β
"Moreover, I also heard that something happened to the Wood Medicine Shop recently, and the impact seems to be very bad. Mu Feng, do you know what's going on?" the old man asked.
Mu Feng's eyes rolled, and he didn't answer directly, but said loudly: "Father, our family's medicinal herb sales business has always been in charge of the second brother, but I'm not familiar with it. β
"Uh- then go get him here. The old man frowned.
A few minutes later, the butler returned alone.
Seeing this, the old man immediately frowned and said, "What's the matter, where is Mu Lei?"
The housekeeper said, "Master, Second Master Mu has taken someone out." β
"What the hell is going on with taking people out?" the old man frowned.
Immediately, the housekeeper told him what had happened.
Although the housekeeper tried his best to downplay the gambling and drug incident that happened in the wooden medicine workshop. But the experienced old man quickly discovered the problem, and immediately asked: "What is the matter with the gambling drugs you are talking about? Also, what is the matter with the student who clashed with our wood medicine workshop because of the gambling drugs?"
"Sir, thisβ" The butler hesitated.
"Say, tell me more about it. The old man slapped it on the table and shouted coldly.
The housekeeper didn't dare to hide it, so he could only tell the cause and effect of the matter completely.
After hearing this, the old man was immediately furious, stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Nonsense, Mu Lei is just fooling around." When did my Mu family ever do this kind of deception, he was dishonoring my Mu family's face and consuming my Mu family's reputation. β
"The fool was completely unrepentant and sent people to beat them. Isn't he going to make a big deal out of it?" the old man was furious.
Mu Feng hurriedly supported the old man and persuaded him: "Dad, don't be angry. Perhaps, the second brother was just confused for a while to do this kind of thing. β
"Confused, how old is he, a man in his forties, and he is still confused for a while. The old man shouted, and then Mu Feng said, "Contact Mu Lei immediately and ask him to get back for me immediately." β
Mu Feng hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone number of his second brother Mu Lei.
But after a beeping sound, Mu Feng hung up the phone helplessly, shook his head at his father, and said loudly: "Dad, the second brother has turned off his mobile phone, and he can't be contacted now." β
"What!" the old man was even more angry.
After a pause, the old man directly ordered: "Then you go in person, go immediately, you must bring Mu Lei back to me, and you can't let the reputation of the Mu family be ruined, understand?"
"Understood!" Mu Feng said, then turned and walked away quickly.
At this time, the old man calmed down a little, but his face was still very ugly.
After taking a sip of tea and gasping for a while, the old man said to the housekeeper, "What is the name of that high school student who gambled drugs, do you have any information?"
"Master, the second master just asked someone to check some information. The butler handed over the information.
The old man looked at it, and at first, the old man's face was still very calm, but the more he looked at it, the more complicated and gloomy the expression on his face became.
"Is this Shen Xiao really just an ordinary high school student?"
Unexpectedly, he still had contact with the Han family. Han Ningshan attaches great importance to him!"
"Is Mu Lei a fool? This Shen Xiao is not even Xu Zhennan's opponent, can he beat it?"
............
The more he looked at it, the more worried the old man became.
If it's an ordinary person, maybe it's easier to deal with. But Shen Xiao is not an ordinary person, but a master with background and strength. If he really takes the matter into account, the reputation of his Mu family is very likely to be hit by a huge blow.
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but worry, stood up, and whispered, "No, I'm going to go on a trip myself." β
Just when the old man wanted to leave, suddenly, he saw the contents of the last page of the information. Above are some pictures, the content of which is the scene of Shen Xiao in the hospital compound.
"What's the matter with these pictures?" the old man asked the butler.
The housekeeper said: "This is the video of Shen Xiao secretly taken by Director Liu of the Central Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine." The images are just some screenshots of the video. β
"Where's the video?" asked Old Man Mu.
The housekeeper hurriedly took out a mobile phone and clicked on the video for the old man.
The content of the video is very short, and it looks like it is just an ordinary scene of Shen Xiao squatting in the grass in the yard. But when the old man saw half of it, his glasses suddenly lit up, and the whole person became excited, "This, this method!"
Immediately, Mu Yuanzheng was completely excited as if he had been doped, and hurriedly walked towards the exit, "Prepare the car immediately, I want to go over, immediately!"
The housekeeper hurriedly went to prepare the car.
At this time, Mu Yuanzheng looked into the distance, and quickly silently recited in his mouth, "That Shen Xiao's method is really amazing." If we can cooperate with him, the benefits of our Mu family can definitely be doubled, or even more than. β
"You must not let Mu Lei do anything to Shen Xiao, you must not!" the old man was firm in his heart, and then urged, "Hurry up, isn't the car ready yet?"
............
said that Shen Xiao was here, because of Li Qingyue's expulsion. Shen Xiaoxue didn't go to school, so he returned to the villa directly with Li Qingyue, and asked Li Qingyue to discuss with his mother about becoming a secretary.
Shen Xiao was not interested in participating in these, so he walked out alone.
As a result, just as he walked near the school. A group of black-clothed men walked towards him menacingly, led by a stout man in his forties.
Among the black-clothed men behind the man, Shen Xiao found a familiar face, the same person who stopped him and Li Qingyue at the school gate when he was going to school just now.
"It's you, you're here again, isn't the lesson just now enough?" Shen Xiao snorted coldly.
The subordinate with a blue nose and swollen face did not speak, but the sturdy man in front of him snorted coldly and said to Shen Xiao, "You are Shen Xiao?"
"I am, who are you?" Shen Xiao looked at the sturdy man.
The man snorted coldly, his eyes full of arrogance, "I am Mu Lei, Second Master Mu, the owner of the Wood Medicine Workshop." You spoiled my good deeds and beat my men. Do you think this can be left at that?"
