Mu Shicang suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Wang Qiaoran with a smile. Wang Qiaoran's professional smile almost faltered, and panic flashed in her eyes: "Mu... Mr. Mu, I was negligent, you..."
"Quie Ran, you've been by my side for so many years, and this is the first time you've made such a mistake. To be honest, I'm surprised."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mu." Wang lowered his head quietly, appearing to admit his mistake, but in fact he was already trembling with fear.
At this moment, Mu Shicang's hand fell on her shoulder, and his voice still sounded gentle: "Qiao Ran, you always know that I value your ability very much. Do your job well, and I will not treat you unfairly. This little mistake is nothing, but..."
He paused deliberately, causing Wang Qiaoran's shoulders to tremble violently at the sound of his pause. He seemed very satisfied with her reaction at this moment, and slowly withdrew his hand, saying with a smile: "You have so many things to do every day, so don't think too much about trivial things or things that have nothing to do with you. It will affect your work efficiency, and I will be angry if you do that."
Wang looked into his eyes quietly, then quickly lowered her head: "I... understand, President Mu."
"Well, come on." He smiled and turned to leave as if nothing had happened. Wang stood there quietly for a long time before he came to his senses and hurriedly followed his footsteps.
She followed him, head bowed, fingers digging into her palms.
Mu Shicang's pace unconsciously quickened, but nothing could be seen from his attitude. However, Wang Qiaoran, who was always following behind him, could sense his anxiety.
By this time, she had slowly calmed down, and the corners of her mouth, which had been flat just now, finally rose slightly. Even if Mu Shicang knew that she had used some tricks, it was still Yang Shushu who was embarrassed in the end. Let alone what Mu Shicang thought, just knowing what the Mu family would do if they knew that Yang Shushu was embarrassing herself outside again, you could imagine what they would do.
When they arrived at the office door, Mu Shicang asked Wang Qiaoran to go about his own business, while he stood at the office door, inexplicably feeling a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
The moment he pushed open the door, Mu Shicang was even prepared for the possibility that Yang Shushu would sit on the chair with her arms and legs spread out and step on Mr. Ma. He was also prepared for how to apologize and how to punish her.
But when he opened the door, the scene he saw was even more incredible.
"Uncle Ma, how do you feel? Are you feeling more comfortable now? You're usually so strict, even your sitting posture is so strict. While good living habits are good, they'll be very tiring over time. You're so busy, you definitely don't have time to relax, right?"
"That's right. Sometimes I'm so busy that I can't even tell the time. What can I do? The children are either not doing well or not interested in this. I have to support myself with my old bones. Oh, oh, yes, right, right there..." Following a comfortable sigh, Ma Zhengtao continued to ask: "Xiao Yang, your skills are good. It's enough for you to open a shop by yourself. Why do you come to work? I see that your personality is not suitable for this office life, right?"
"I'm not used to it, but opening a shop also requires money. I plan to work first and then open my own shop when I save enough money."
"Well, the little girl is ambitious."
Mu Shicang who was standing at the door: "..." What on earth did I see? Why did these two people with polar opposite personalities look like they were having a great conversation? Yang Shushu, you are so comfortable in your own way, are you worthy of those who want to cheat you?
"Haha, you're too kind." Yang Shushu smiled as she kneaded Ma Zhengtao's shoulders. She had been an apprentice in a traditional Chinese medicine massage shop and learned a set of massage techniques from an old Chinese medicine doctor. She always used them to massage Grandma Yang, and she didn't expect to use them again today.
Yang Shushu's smiling eyes inadvertently looked towards the door. The moment she saw Mu Shicang, the curvature of her eyes had not yet retracted. They were both stunned at the same time. Yang Shushu was surprised at how Mu Shicang came in, and Mu Shicang was surprised at why such a terrible thought flashed through his mind at that moment.
He actually felt that this smile was so adorable that he wanted to treasure it and not show it to anyone else.
Ma Zhengtao also noticed Mu Shicang at this time. He stood up from the sofa in the reception area. Yang Shu comfortably let go of his hand, stood behind the sofa, and made a face at Mu Shicang. Mu Shicang resisted the urge to roll his eyes. What was wrong with him that he thought this guy was cute?
"Xiao Mu, you're back. Haha, I took up your subordinates for a while, please don't mind."
A flash of surprise flashed across Mu Shicang's eyes, but he quickly disappeared: "Mr. Ma, what are you talking about? It's her honor to be praised by you."
Mu Shicang walked over with a smile, shook hands with Ma Zhengtao, then turned and extended his hand towards Yang Shushu. Yang Shushu looked at his hand in confusion, but didn't extend it to him. He grabbed it and pulled her to his side: "You are so naughty, why did you lie to Mr. Ma?"
Then he turned to Lao Zhengtao and said, "Mr. Ma, I'm so sorry. My wife is too naughty. If she has been disrespectful to you, please be magnanimous and don't argue with her."
Now it was Ma Zhengtao's turn to be shocked: "This is... your wife?"
Mu Shicang hugged the man to his side, nodded, and then said to Mu Shicang: "Why don't you apologize to Mr. Ma quickly?"
Yang Shushu curled her lips at him, then turned to smile at Mr. Ma: "Mr. Ma, I'm sorry. I didn't know how to explain it to you just now, so I just followed your words. I didn't mean to deceive you. Since my technique was pretty good just now, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
She smiled at Ma Zhengtao, not seeming overly friendly, yet feeling very close, just like a younger generation in the family acting like a spoiled child to an elder. Old Ma, whose children were often not around, actually enjoyed the moment very much and simply waved his hand, "What's there to be angry about? If there was any fault, it was me who made it first. I admitted my fault and gave you a good scolding. You even had no snacks left, hahaha."
Mu Shicang was a little surprised. This Mr. Ma was notoriously difficult to deal with in the business world of Jinjing. He was old-fashioned and rule-abiding, inflexible, and very stubborn. Although it was relatively safer to do business with such a person, sometimes he would seem to be restrained.
But who would have thought that such a person would be subdued by such an unruly person like Yang Shushu?
"Hey, now I feel much better, I feel better, and even my mood is better." Old Ma smiled and patted Mu Shicang's shoulder: "Xiao Mu, you are very lucky. When you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous one. You have a virtuous wife."
"Hehe...Mr. Ma, you're too kind." Mu Shicang didn't know how to laugh, so he could only pinch Yang Shushu's shoulder with his hand, as if to express: You can do it.
Yang Shushu shrank her shoulders at this moment: "Then you guys talk about business now, I'll be leaving first."
