Chapter 38: Fanatical Star Chasing Scene
When she woke up the next day, Hu Xiner had completely forgotten what happened last night. She was shocked to find herself sleeping in the same bed with Mu Qing. She almost thought that she had taken advantage of her drunkenness to kill him.
Mu Qing had actually woken up a long time ago. Listening to the people around him groaning, he stood up with a smile on his face: "What are you thinking about? Nothing happened last night."
But Hu Xiner was not blind. Looking at the big swelling on the back of Mu Qing's head and the torn clothes on the ground, she covered her face in shame.
With Mu Qing's gentle treatment, she gradually let go of the little discomfort in her heart and focused on her career.
In the past few days, she has sorted out the orders that were not completed when the hut burned down, and handed them over to the customers after finishing the paintings.
When this news spread, many people looked at her with admiration and felt that Mulang Advertising Shop was truly a conscientious shop.
In this era, there are no clear business contracts and no consumer protection associations. Merchants do business based on their conscience, and people will subconsciously choose reputable shops.
After that warning, Madam Zou stopped causing trouble.
Originally, because of that incident, both the rouge shop and Mrs. Li's cloth shop were affected.
Now the two stores have shaken hands and made peace, clarifying that the previous events were all misunderstandings.
With a new round of advertising investment, business is booming again.
As for new orders, upon learning that Hu Xiner's hut had burned down, the originally attentive shop owners began to wait and see, fearing that they would be implicated by her.
Now that they knew she had moved to a new home and that the advertising was so effective, they regretted it so much. They thought that if they had established a relationship with Hu Xiner at that time, they would have gotten as much advertising as they wanted.
The advertising company received a lot of orders at once. Hu Xiner thought that although she had a study at home, she still needed a formal office space. So she asked Erdong for help to find out where there was a suitable shop for sale.
Erdong looked at her strangely, wishing he could stay away from her. Although he took the trouble to plan for her, he refused to say a word to her.
He soon found the store, and Hu Xiner invited Mu Qing to go and see it with her.
Walking on the country road, Hu Xin'er mustered up the courage to ask Mu Qing: "What happened when I got drunk that day?"
Mu Qing patted his head gently: "Don't think too much."
Hu Xin'er bit her lip and thought to herself: Even her clothes were torn, how much she must have let herself go! How could she not think too much?
She asked nervously, "Am I being rude? Thank you for all the hard work."
"Nothing, I just prefer to run out into the street rather than go home and sleep..." Mu Qing said with a half-smile: "Will you go out drinking with others again in the future?"
"I'm not going out." She shook her head vigorously. "I don't drink at home either. I'm a terrible drinker!"
"You really don't remember anything?" Mu Qing stopped.
Hu Xin'er thought for a long time: "I just remember having a nightmare. In the dream, I was performing on the street, and my job was to break rocks with my chest."
Mu Qing laughed unkindly: "I'm afraid this is because I'm suppressing you."
Whether to suppress it or not, Hu Xiner shamefully had the wrong idea when looking at Mu Qing's handsome face. Thinking of the misunderstanding that morning, she stepped on Mu Qing angrily before continuing to move forward.
Mu Qing hugged his legs innocently. What had he done wrong?
"By the way," she said after a while, holding Mu Qing's sleeve, "I want to hold a formal opening ceremony after the shop is renovated."
"Just set up a banquet and invite merchants from Shuangxi Village?" Mu Qing naturally took her hand.
"It doesn't have to be that complicated. I plan to do it at home and just invite Sister Li and the others over." Hu Xiner stroked his hand with her thumb.
Taking into account Mu Qing's dislike of showing off, she planned to hold a small-scale party at home.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qing said, contrary to his usual behavior: "Since it is a new store opening, it is natural to open it up."
The bigger the scale, the more conducive it is for an advertising company to make a name for itself. After all, many people now only know the name of Mulang Advertising Shop but do not know its specific address and business.
She was happy and thought that Mu Qing had come to terms with it, so she didn't ask any more questions. Then they both got busy.
Mu Qing was in charge of the decoration, and Mrs. Li came to help organize the banquet. Hu Xiner even stated that she would wait until after the opening ceremony before taking any orders.
She happily sent invitations to Mrs. Li, Li Sangui, and the merchants in the village. The invitations were designed based on classics from her previous life, which amazed everyone who received them.
Soon, on the day of the opening ceremony, almost all the people who received the invitation came to show their support and looked at the Mulang Advertising Shop curiously.
Due to funding reasons, the Mulang Advertising Shop simply replaced the signboard and renovated it. It looks unremarkable except for the flyers on the wall.
However, the advertising shop does not constitute a competitive relationship with any businessmen, and may even become a helper to them in the future, so everyone is generous with their praise.
The two of them were now well-off, so they bought new clothes for the founding ceremony, which were custom-made by Mrs. Li.
Hu Xiner greeted the guests with a rosy face. The original owner had looked haggard due to malnutrition, and her behavior was so humble that it was heartbreaking.
But now she looks even better, and most importantly, her eyes and eyebrows radiate confidence and generosity, which attracts attention.
Mu Qing stayed beside her with a gentle smile, as graceful as a piece of jade. Their occasional eye contact or subtle movements made them look extremely harmonious.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that the Mulang Advertising Shop was run by a little girl!"
"Is this Mu Lang himself? He doesn't look as cold as the portrait."
Everyone was whispering to each other, and suddenly someone said loudly, "Don't you think we're attending Boss Hu's wedding banquet?"
Following a burst of laughter, Hu Xin'er and Mu Qing looked at each other and their faces turned red.
The clothes designed by Mrs. Li for them have festive elements and are couple styles, so it's no wonder that they arouse people's imagination.
Although people in the small village assumed they were husband and wife, they were not actually officially married.
There was no wedding banquet, no official deed, and as for the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, there was no question of it.
To put it bluntly, they are a young couple who eloped.
Fortunately, the people in this village are very simple and honest, and most of them don’t say anything. Instead, they feel sorry for the two young people’s experience.
Mu Qing, with a red face, looked even more graceful, stunning everyone.
Hu Xin'er instinctively protected him behind her: "Thank you all for coming to support us. My husband is shy, so please don't tease me. Let's eat well today——"
Suddenly, an excited shout interrupted her next words.
Three children in their early teens rushed into the yard excitedly.
Two girls and a boy, their faces flushed with excitement, pointed at Mu Qing and screamed, "I finally saw a living Mu Lang!"
"Look, look! This is Rouge Fairy!"
"Who is this ugly woman? Why is she standing next to Mu Lang?"
“…”
They talked excitedly and even wanted to hug Mu Qing, staging a "fanatic fans chasing stars" scene!
