Chapter 40: Tied Up
Mu Qing blurted out those words, and he was actually surprised, but he concealed it.
Ever since he was injured and rescued by Hu Xiner, his memories of the past have been confused.
Originally, he discovered that he had a dagger on him and could use it skillfully, and he thought that he must have known martial arts in his previous identity, but he didn't know it now because he had forgotten it due to his injury.
But now it seems that perhaps his identity is more complicated than he imagined.
Not wanting to spoil Hu Xiner's happiness, he did not reveal his worries.
Hu Xiner noticed that his face looked off, so she asked with concern, "Are you disturbed by the crowd? Do you want to go inside and take shelter?"
Mu Qing comforted her, "More people is better."
Hu Xin'er was a little confused: "Why did you suddenly change your temper?"
Mu Qing simply said, "Just wait and see what happens."
What a great show! What a great show! Did he secretly hire a troupe? Oh my god, how much would that cost!
At this time, someone came forward to congratulate her, and she told Mu Qing that if he felt unwell, he could go back at any time.
After the meal, Hu Xiner's stomach was full of tea. Mu Qing picked up two pieces of meat for her with his chopsticks and then helped her sit down to eat.
Hu Xiner took a few bites of rice and wanted to go out for social events again.
Mu Qing pressed her shoulders helplessly: "Eating is the most important thing. I'll block those people for you first."
The guests at the table all smiled kindly: "Yes, Boss Hu, there is no end to making money, let's eat first."
Someone jokingly said, "I think, with such a good husband, why would you go out and start your own business? Boss Hu really doesn't know how to appreciate the good fortune he has!"
Hu Xin'er was about to speak when Erdong spoke up, "That's not the way to say it. Although our boss Hu is a woman, her business skills are no worse than men's!"
"That's right! Boss Hu, I said something wrong, please don't take it as an offense~"
Everyone was eating and talking in a lively atmosphere, talking about the advertising shop, and all of them were congratulating and praising it.
At this time, the old man from the calligraphy and painting shop came over slowly to serve tea.
Many businessmen were very surprised. This old man usually regarded himself as aloof. Although he opened a shop, he never got involved in the same dirty business as them.
The reason why she participated in the opening ceremony of the advertising store was probably because of Hu Xiner's superb painting skills, but this was already surprising. Now she took the initiative to offer tea to Mu Qing, which shows how talented Mu Qing is.
Seeing that he was an old gentleman with a literary air, Mu Qing respected him very much. The old gentleman looked at his demeanor with a noble aura, and the more he looked, the more shocked he was, thinking that this boy was definitely not an ordinary country boy.
However, he said a few words to Mu Qing and then went back with a sigh.
Hu Xiner wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth and finally felt full.
"What did the old man just say to you?" she asked curiously.
Mu Qing said calmly, "He asked me if I wanted to take the imperial examination, or if I could become a teacher at his apprentice's private school."
"Then how did you answer? Why did I feel like he wanted to curse when he left?" Hu Xiner thought the latter suggestion was very good. Master Mu, who is both civil and military, is very suitable for Mu Qing's temperament.
Mu Qing looked innocent. "Really? I just asked him if I could get a discount on pens, inkstones, and paper when I go to his shop in the future."
Hu Xiner burst out laughing: "Oh my god, he must be cursing you for being a philistine in his heart right now!"
Mu Qing asked silently, "Are you full?"
He found that he seemed to have no talent for communicating with others, and it would be better to sit still and not speak.
"I'm full. I'll take care of the rest." Hu Xiner patted his hand while trying not to laugh.
Oh my god, did Mu Qing use all his language talent to make sweet nothings? What was he thinking, haggling directly with this old gentleman who was full of literary airs?
Drinks are usually prepared at banquets, and people can chat for a long time with wine even after the meal.
But because Hu Xiner was not good at drinking and didn't know how much Mu Qing could drink, she simply didn't prepare any alcohol, but only prepared the best tea.
People who know the goods think this shop is elegant, but people who don’t know the goods will be told by the people in the crowd how good the tea is.
Therefore, everyone was generally very satisfied with the banquet, although it was a bit boring after the meal...
But at this moment, Hu Xiner clapped her hands.
Immediately, two people holding red silk, one holding one end, stood at the door of the advertising shop.
"Dear guests, dear friends! I, Hu Xiner, on behalf of Muxin Advertising Company, would like to express my most sincere thanks and warm welcome to all of you for coming!" As soon as Hu Xiner opened her mouth, the guests all looked up with interest.
They thought Hu Xiner was going to start causing trouble again.
In fact, this was an ancient simple version of the ribbon-cutting ceremony prepared by Hu Xiner. After the previous polite words, Hu Xiner invited Mu Qing, Li Sao and others to stand in the middle of the red silk.
Then, by drawing lots, several businessmen were asked to stand with them at the red silk area.
The red silk is bright and eye-catching, and the flowers tied on it are extremely delicate and amazing.
"Now, let's invite Mr. Wu from the calligraphy and painting shop to give a speech for our new store!"
Mr. Wu was the most respected person present. Hu Xiner had already communicated with him before the banquet and invited him to give a speech for the new store.
After the speech, it was time to cut the ribbon. Hu Xin'er briefly introduced the method and meaning of cutting the ribbon, and then said with a smile: "Let's count down together, three, two, one!"
With a snap, the red silk was successfully cut.
The firecrackers exploded with a crackling sound, and everyone gave warm applause.
The businessmen who had the honor to cut the ribbon together felt inexplicably honored. If they asked Hu Xiner, she would say that this was the charm of the sense of ceremony.
Other businessmen were secretly thinking that if they opened a new store in the future, they would also have to hold this ribbon-cutting ceremony!
Hu Xin'er and Mu Qing exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We declare that the opening ceremony of the Mu Xin Advertising Shop has been successfully completed! Interested owners can come visit the shop from now on!"
Some businessmen couldn't wait to get up.
"Boss Hu is really smart! I don't know how she came up with such a unique ribbon-cutting ceremony!"
There were bursts of praise from the crowd.
"How come I've never heard of someone like her before?" someone asked curiously.
"Boss Hu was abused and mistreated by his family and was almost drowned! If Mu Lang hadn't saved him, he would have died."
"No way! I think Boss Hu is a decent person. He doesn't look like someone who would do anything bad!"
"She didn't do anything bad, someone framed her..."
Soon, everyone was talking about how the Hu family had been so blind to the value of their daughter that they had to treat her like a beast.
It's their fault that their family is not prosperous! If they had treated Hu Xin'er a little better and given her space to display her talents, the Hu family wouldn't be like this now.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. The eldest sister of the Hu family appears, but she is tied up!
