There are two sides to the story.
Chen Zhe was kept behind by Mu Qisheng.
Chen Zhe was puzzled, and Mu Wanzhi was also somewhat puzzled.
"Mr. Mu... is there something you need?" Mu Wanzhi asked.
Mu Qisheng nodded.
"I will do what you ask me to do, but I have one more condition..."
"What are the additional conditions?" Mu Wanzhi asked cautiously.
"This is the young man; I hope he can do me a favor."
"Help? Elder Mu, can I help you?" Chen Zhe asked.
"You own a company called Linglong Group, right?"
Chen Zhe nodded.
“I know a little about your situation, and it just so happens that I can help you. Our Mu family has a business that grows medicinal herbs, but sales haven’t been very good in recent years. I hope you can help me solve this problem.”
"Selling goods?"
"Yes, this shouldn't be difficult for you."
Chen Zhe and Mu Wanzhi exchanged a glance, and Mu Wanzhi asked cautiously, "What kind of medicinal herb is it?"
Mu Qisheng called someone over.
"He can take you to see it."
Chen Zhe and Mu Wanzhi left with that person and went to a medicinal herb plantation.
All the medicinal herbs grown here are unique to southern Xinjiang, and Chen Zhe is not very familiar with these products.
The uncle who brought them here was named Mukeluo. He explained the medicinal herbs to the two of them in detail, as well as their current predicament.
After learning about it, Chen Zhe felt somewhat confident. Linglong Group also had a pharmaceutical company under its umbrella, so he immediately called the person in charge there.
After another detailed inquiry.
Chen Zhe said to Mukeluo, "I will have someone from my company come over to check the quality, and then I will have him contact you."
Upon hearing this, Mukro's worry turned into joy.
"Okay! Okay! Just have him call me when the time comes."
After dealing with this matter, Mu Qisheng was very grateful to Chen Zhe.
The Mu family of Southern Xinjiang's biggest source of income is medicinal herbs. If Chen Zhe can help them build a sales platform, then they can rest easy in the future.
"Don't worry, I will try to persuade them, but let me be frank, I'm not sure if they will listen to me."
"Old Master Mu, as long as you speak up, things will definitely work out." Mu Wanzhi was well aware of Mu Qisheng's importance to those important figures in the capital.
Mu Qisheng nodded. In fact, he was confident that if the other party did not agree, he would not help him with his medical treatment in the future.
He believed they wouldn't refuse, so what he said earlier was just polite talk.
"Alright, things have been settled. I've reserved rooms for you, and I'll have someone take you there to see them in a bit."
Mu Wanzhi shook her head; "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Mu, but we may have to rush back, so we won't stay here any longer."
Mu Qisheng did not force him to stay.
"Alright, then you guys figure it out yourselves."
...
After leaving the Mu family mansion, it was already late. Only after finishing their work did the two realize that Tang Zihao had not yet returned.
Mu Wanzhi immediately called Tang Zihao, but she couldn't get through after several attempts. Frustrated, she then called the bodyguard.
The bodyguard answered the phone as soon as it rang.
"Where is Tang Zihao?" Mu Wanzhi asked.
"Reporting to Madam, the young master is currently in the bar street of the ancient city."
"A bar? What's he doing there?"
“I didn’t dare follow him in, but I saw him go in with a lot of girls, probably to drink.”
"A lot of girls? What's going on?"
"Young Master met several girls today. He got along very well with them and kept wandering between various shops. I didn't dare to get too close, for fear that Young Master would be angry if he found out."
Mu Wanzhi snorted.
"He's indulging in pleasure and being a spoiled brat. I've never taught him anything like that before. What's gotten into him?"
Chen Zhe, who was standing nearby, chuckled upon hearing this.
“It’s normal for young people to have some fun, and it’s not something particularly bad. Perhaps Brother Tang has been suppressing his feelings for too long. He has indeed been hurt emotionally recently, and I think it’s not a bad thing to let him have some fun.”
After hearing this, Mu Wanzhi thought for a moment and then nodded. Her son had indeed been acting strangely lately, perhaps because she had been too controlling in the past.
"Alright, keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do anything out of line or that anyone hurts him."
Mu Wanzhi spoke to the bodyguard on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, madam, I will ensure the young master's safety."
“Let’s go to the hotel first and let him have a day to play. You can bring him back later.”
"yes."
...
Mu Wanzhi originally planned to rush back overnight, but because Tang Zihao was still playing, she decided to delay for a day.
She did not choose to live in the Mu family's house. She felt very uncomfortable here. Although this was the place where her ancestors had lived, it had nothing to do with her now.
The Mu family was hostile towards him, and he was too lazy to communicate with them, so they decided to find a hotel.
At the hotel.
Chen Zhe had just finished showering when there was a knock on his door.
He put on a bathrobe, dried his hair, and came to open the door.
Who else could be outside the door but Mu Wanzhi?
She was carrying a bottle of red wine, and her clothes were still on, so she probably hadn't showered; she smelled slightly of alcohol.
Her cheeks were a little flushed; "I had a little drink in my room just now, but it's quite boring drinking alone. Could you keep me company?"
Chen Zhe sensed that Mu Wanzhi seemed a bit depressed, so he didn't refuse, opened the door, and let Mu Wanzhi in.
After Mu Wanzhi entered, she sat on the tatami in the living room, placed the red wine in her hand on the table, got up and went to the wine cabinet, taking out two stemmed glasses.
She poured half a glass for Chen Zhe and half a glass for herself.
At first, the two of them just drank it sip by sip.
She didn't say anything, but after drinking for a while, Mu Wanzhi took the initiative to speak: "This is supposed to be my ancestral home, so I should feel a sense of familiarity. But the Mu family members look at me like I'm an enemy. Hehe, it's really quite ridiculous."
Mu Wanzhi still kept in mind everything that happened at the Mu family mansion today. Those people were supposed to be her relatives, but now they needed to exchange interests to even have a conversation, which was somewhat ironic.
"President Mu..."
"Don't call me Manager Mu. If I can't handle this, I won't be the manager for long. Just call me Sister Mu. It sounds more friendly."
Chen Zhe nodded; "Sister Mu, they are continuing the hatred of their ancestors, not targeting you. Don't take it too seriously. Old Mu seems quite confident. With him involved, this matter should be resolved. You don't need to worry too much."
Mu Wanzhi chuckled; "Of course I understand, it's just that so many things have happened lately, and I'm feeling a bit down. Plus, Zihao won't listen to me, so I suddenly feel like I'm living a pretty unsuccessful life..."
"How could that be? In my eyes, you've always been a very successful woman. How could you talk about failure?"
Mu Wanzhi looked at Chen Zhe with slightly drunken eyes; "Do you really think so?"
"Yes, Sister Mu is a very successful woman, and everyone can see that."
Hearing this made Mu Wanzhi a little happy. Receiving affirmation from others when you're feeling down is a form of emotional value.
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it, I'm just telling the truth."
Mu Wanzhi bit her lip lightly. She suddenly felt a little restless. The two of them, a man and a woman, were drinking red wine alone in the room. Chen Zhe's thoughtful comfort was like warm water surrounding her heart, so comforting. She couldn't control herself and started to have other thoughts. She had had these thoughts before. She had faced them alone for countless nights. She had suppressed them for a long time. This kind of suppression was particularly cruel to a woman her age.
She placed her hand on the back of Chen Zhe's hand as if possessed, looking at him with affection in her eyes; "Tonight...do you want me to stay?"
