"Could it be that Zhou Le wants to take this opportunity to please your mother and get her to agree to Mu En marrying her?" Zhou Shuo murmured.
Mu Ci shook his head: "Don't worry about it. Since you can't drive it away, just wait and see what happens. Don't bother yourself."
Zhou Shuo has never been good at guessing people's minds, so upon hearing this, she happily put the matter aside and went to tinker with her bottles and jars.
Mu Ci followed curiously, "These little bottles all look the same, how do you tell the different pills apart?"
If you don’t understand Mu Ci, just ask.
Zhou Shuo smiled and shook a small blue and white porcelain bottle in his hand. "Of course I can tell the difference. I made all of this myself. Even the small bottle was made by me and my senior brothers."
"What if someone replaced your medicine or the bottle? Would you be able to find out?" Mu Ci asked.
Zhou Shuo's face was blank. "Who would do such a stupid thing? This is medicine, not candy beans!"
Mu Ci laughed.
Zhou Shuo went to do other things, and Mu Ci's eyes fell on this medicine cabinet that was converted from a wine cabinet and was not even on the chain store.
...
Gu Xin signed his name on the contract almost reverently, stood up and shook hands with Liu Ming, and said with a choked voice, "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"
Liu Ming picked up the contract and smiled, "Mr. Gu, you're too kind. In business, everyone is looking for profit."
Gu Xin nodded heavily, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."
What he held in his hand was a contract tailor-made for their Gu family. With this contract, the Gu family would be able to reach a new level and would definitely not be worse than the Zhou family who had climbed up the Mu family's ladder.
Zhou De and Zhou Cong firmly believed that it was good to lean on a big tree for shade, and they had spent all their energy in recent years on cultivating personal connections. He and Zhou De had been friends for many years, but gradually their ways of dealing with people and things became divergent, and they drifted further and further apart.
The Zhou family was indeed becoming more and more prosperous. Zhou Cong was young and promising, and his performance was becoming more and more eye-catching. He used to be envious, but he couldn't follow their example.
He still likes to stick to his duties and move forward steadily and steadily, and the same is true for the education of his only son Gu Ming.
A few days ago, Gu Ming was hospitalized due to a conflict with Zhou Le and the blow of a broken heart. Unexpectedly, he met Liu Ming, the housekeeper of the eldest son of the Mu family, who came to his rescue. It was already a life-saving favor.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ming came to discuss cooperation with him the next day. It was a not-so-famous company, but its business happened to be in line with Gu's family. He read the plan and contract in detail and signed it with pleasure.
He understood that this was Mu Ci's private property and had nothing to do with the Mu family, but there would be no shortage of partners. It was truly an honor for the Gu family to be chosen.
He was not good at speaking and wished he had another mouth to express his gratitude.
Liu Ming reached out and patted his shoulder. "Old Gu, don't feel burdened. Everything is what the Gu Group deserves. If you don't do a good job, we won't cooperate with you. Don't you agree?"
Gu Xin nodded heavily and shook Liu Ming's hand vigorously.
"I've also checked your son's resume. It's very good. You should take him out to gain experience. It's a good thing for children to experience some setbacks. It will help their growth both emotionally and in business. Our young master is recruiting an assistant. If he is interested, he can try to submit his resume." Liu Ming said gently.
Gu Xin's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll tell him this news. If he's the right material and can seize the opportunity, then it will be a testament to the virtue of our Gu family's ancestors."
Seeing that he was a sensible man, Liu Ming said nothing more.
When Liu Ming returned to the office, Mu Ci and Chen Hai were playing games online. Chen Hai was sitting on the sofa with his feet on the coffee table, looking nervous, while Mu Ci was sitting in front of the computer, calm as water.
Seeing Liu Ming coming in, Mu Ci logged off without hesitation, "Did everything go well?"
He asked Liu Ming.
"Hey, Mu Ci! You bastard, how can you be like this? You are so rude!" Chen Hai yelled, took both feet down, and was so nervous that he almost used his hands and feet together.
Mu Ci ignored him.
Liu Ming was used to this and handed the contract to Mu Ci. "Everything went well. Gu Xin is a sensible person."
Mu Ci took the contract and put it aside, "That's good."
Chen Hai's game crashed. He threw his phone down in frustration and walked over to Mu Ci, trying to strangle him. Mu Ci held his hand out, "Be steady. Your project contracts have been signed. Hurry and start working."
Chen Hai said angrily, "I must find the designer of this game and bring him back with a huge sum of money. I'll give him anything he wants, even marry him!"
Liu Ming was drinking water and started choking when he heard this.
Mu Ci laughed and said, "Can you be any less reliable? Aren't you afraid of giving your grandfather a heart attack?"
Chen Hai sighed, "This Mi Xiu is truly a rare talent. If I can get his help, who would I be afraid of for our company's gaming and esports division?"
Mu Ci glanced at him and said, "Alright, put away your sweet dreams for now and focus on the things at hand. Boss Chen, don't forget that you are one of the shareholders. Don't always indulge in games!"
Mu Ci slapped the contract on Chen Haiyou's chest, and Chen Hai retorted, "Playing games is also part of my job!"
But he still took the contract and went back to his office obediently.
Liu Ming put down the cup and sat down opposite Mu Ci: "Master, I encountered some resistance when I was investigating the patient found by the young lady."
Mu Ci raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming handed Mu Ci a few photos. The photos were blurry. They were all taken secretly and at a very biased angle, so the face could not be captured.
Mu Ci put down the photo and asked, "Is it impossible to get close?"
Liu Ming nodded. "This ward isn't even in the VIP ward, but whenever you get close, someone will come over and try to stop you. This means someone is always watching. These photos were taken secretly when the opportunity was perfect, but you can't see their face."
"What's your identity?" Mu Ci asked.
"She is a Chinese overseas who returned from overseas fifteen years ago. She is a female who lives alone and has no relatives. She has a lot of savings, so she can stay in the hospital all the time. Her medical records are also fairly traceable and there are no abnormalities. Because it is so old, there is no photo of the patient in the hospital's records, and there are no photos of other patients of the same period. So, it is not special." Liu Ming replied.
Mu Ci was silent, looking at the photo in his hand and lost in thought: "Has her attending physician always been Dr. Li?"
Liu Ming shook his head and said, "No, the previous attending physician was your previous attending physician, Fu Qing."
Mu Ci suddenly raised his eyes and met Liu Ming's. Liu Ming nodded gently, "It is precisely this point that makes me more suspicious, but there is no way to know who is inside."
"Doctor Li has not given up on Zhou Shuo. He will definitely take her to see the patient and find someone to draw a portrait based on Zhou Shuo's description!" Mu Ci said decisively.
"Good idea!" Liu Ming nodded in approval.
"Is there any movement from Mu En's side?" Mu Ci asked.
Liu Ming shook his head. "The Second Young Master is still living a life of debauchery. I think he's waiting for news from Miss Zhou Le."
Mu Ci touched his chin and sneered, "They must be here to steal something."
Mu Ci handed the computer to Liu Ming and retrieved the surveillance footage downstairs in his home for him, where he heard the conversation between Duan Si, Shen Yu, and Zhou Le.
