Huang Mingxiang continued to struggle at his desk, his face looking very serious. From the morning he just looked down to read and write something on the sheets of paper work piled up. His activities completely stopped when Su Mama came and informed him that the new person in charge of Chuan Wuqi was coming.
"Command him in, Su Mama."
Su Mama nodded, then she again walked out to bring the new person in. Huang Mingxiang put down an ink brush, then tidied up some papers and stacked them regularly.
Before long her work door opened, featuring Su Mama with the figure of a man behind her. The man bowed towards Huang Mingxiang.
"This little branch is greeting the venerable Xiao Wangfei Niangniang."
Huang Mingxiang nodded at a glance, his lips smiling. "Please sit down, Dong Gusha."
Dong Gusha, he was one of the five servants who managed to escape Huang Mingxiang's sharp eyes while overhauling the entire system and occupants of Chuan Wuqi. Among the other five employees, he was the most prominent and trustworthy. Dong Gusha, he is a beautiful man. There are rumors that say that previously she worked as a lonely wealthy widow entertainer in one of the illegal brothels, but Huang Mingxiang hired her instead to look into her past. He judged from the ability, prowess, and value of a person in that day as well.
After Dong Gusha sat down, Huang Mingxiang started the conversation. He had prepared a list that he would roughly discuss with Dong Gusha.
"My servant recruits leave it to you. Make sure the waitress you receive is of high quality in experience, or at least the way she works. We're not only passing employees who have beautiful faces, but also beautiful characters." Huang Mingxiang started to get serious, as did Dong Gusha.
Dong Gusha nodded, then took out a square box book with a width and height of 15cm. Su Mama immediately responded to the book and gave it to Huang Mingxiang.
"Lately I have started registration. In the book clearly listed the names of the registrants and background and personal data. The registrants we have screened are on the last five pages. There were about twenty people, whose noble could see it to judge them." Dong Gusha explained it well.
Huang Mingxiang immediately opened his book and headed for the last five pages. He read one by one the registrants' personal biodata. Huang Mingxiang's head nodded when looking at his roster, his lips smiling in satisfaction. Dong Gusha who saw Huang Mingxiang's satisfied smile was pleased, his heart felt relieved. At first he was secretly nervous, as he was suddenly appointed as the new in charge and asked to face Huang Mingxiang directly at Xiao Wangfu.
Huang Mingxiang closed his book, then handed it back to Dong Gusha through Su Mama as his intermediary.
"Good job, Dong Gusha. You choose the right people. For their salary .. I do not know what the general salary of the store employees is like. Each division must be different, so please do your research into each store. If there is a choice that is too low and high, we take the middle."
Dong Gusha nodded. "Well, Wangfei."
Huang Mingxiang looked back at their talk list, ah.
"For the promotion, I have a great new idea. It is still very rarely used by business people, so the probability of success is very large. We can work together with entertainment figures from the famous theaters in the Empire, then offer the price of cooperation that we agreed on together. Later their job after agreeing and signing is to promote our merchandise in every drama he plays."
Dong Gusha widened his eyes. "That's a very good idea, Wangfei. We do not have to bother to go around and introduce products to many people."
Huang Mingxiang nodded, his lips smiling with satisfaction. "Then please arrange. If you've managed to get in contact with the famous theater magnate, take him to meet me. The price deal will be discussed once the three of us get together in this workspace."
Dong Gusha nodded. "Well, Wangfei."
"Eh ... Wangfei." Dong Gusha called Huang Mingxiang, his tone seemed hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" asked Huang Mingxiang.
"Shouldn't we also cooperate with one of the great noble families in order to make our products more widely known and widespread?" ask Dong Gusha. True, things like this are common in the business world.
"Bringing Xiao Wangfu's name was more than enough to make this one empire know Chuan Wuqi. After all Chuan y had stood for quite a long time, his name was already known to many people. This promotion we do is for Chuan Wuqi to show his development to many people," Huang Mingxiang replied, he is lazy to deal with other noble families.
Dong Gusha shook his head. "This entire Empire has indeed known Chuan Wuqi, Wangfei. But we cannot possibly remain silent at that level forever, we must increase Chuan Wuqi's popularity outside of the Empire. For example in the West or North."
Huang Mingxiang pensive. What Dong Gusha said was right, he had to raise the level of Chuan Wuqi's popularity. But ....
"The "noble who goes in and out of the Empire to go to a Western or Northern country can be counted on the finger. The average of them was also still outside the Empire," Huang Mingxiang said, his forehead slightly folded.
Dong Gusha frowned. "Your highness, isn't Lord Rong Huanghou Niangniang's sister back from the West? We can work with him. I also heard that Mr. Rong's popularity in the West is huge, not a bad choice if we work with Mr. Rong."
Huang Mingxiang was silent. Wangxia Rong? He somewhat objected, as indeed from the start he was less comfortable being near the man. But ... Huang Mingxiang sighed, trying to clear his mind. Remember, Huang Mingxiang, this is a business. He has to be professional, leave aside personal problems.
Huang Mingxiang nodded. "Then please send an official letter on behalf of Chuan Wuqi to Rong Fu for Mr. Rong. Tell in the letter that I am the main manager in Chuan Wuqi representing Xiao Wangye."
Dong Gusha nodded, he understood. His hands nimbly recorded anything Huang Mingxiang commanded. After there was nothing more to talk about, the man resigned himself.
Huang Mingxiang leaned back in his chair. Oh my God .. I am so tired today. He wanted to visit Xiao Muqing, but his work here still piled up a lot. Huang Mingxiang wanted to cry, if not for Xiao Muqing and his grudges, he would not have done this troublesome thing.
Huang Mingxiang continued to work from noon to afternoon, and from afternoon to night. Su Mama continued to persuade him to rest from the afternoon, but Huang Mingxiang always refused. He did not want to delay his work even though his eyes were already very heavy.
"Wangfei is very hardworking, she is an example of the true Imperial woman." Baili Ruyi praised Huang Mingxiang, the reason the three of them were here waiting for Huang Mingxiang's presence. From the afternoon Xiao Muqing waited for the woman to massage her legs as usual, Gu Sinjie and Baili Ruyi who saw the look on Xiao Muqing's face did not have the heart to make the man alone wait. The three of them finally gathered together.
Gu Sinjie and Baili Ruyi had already offered massage services to the man, but Xiao Muqing refused outright. Gu Sinjie had also previously given the suggestion that it was better if Xiao Muqing visited Huang Mingxiang to his residence and stopped the woman from working personally. The only person who could stop Huang Mingxiang from working was Xiao Muqing. But the man refused. Baili Ruyi saw a high ego in Xiao Muqing's eyes.
"Wangye, your Wangfei has been working diligently from morning until late at night. What if you personally visit the Wangfei residence? Nothing's wrong, is it? You're her husband." Baili Ruyi again proposed the same thing as Gu Sinjie.
Xiao Muqing did not answer Baili Ruyi, his head turned to Gu Sinjie and said, "Take some files on Xiao Wangfu that have not been done from the desk benwang."
Gu Sinjie who heard this frowned. Did Xiao Muqing also want to come to work so that he was equally busy with Huang Mingxiang? But not asking much, the man immediately ran towards Xiao Muqing's study and brought along a pile of Xiao Wangfu files that Xiao Muqing had not had time to touch.
"Just this left, Wangye. The files on Xiao Wangfu and Chuan Wuqi have been transferred to Wangfei's office, so these are files on the military headquarters" Gu Sinjie said.
Xiao Muqing nodded, he didn't care what the paperwork was. "Antar benwang to Wangfei residence. Ruyi, you'll be right back."
"I wasn't invited?" Baili Ruyi frowned irritably, she had already joined in kindly accompanying the man waiting.
"No. Tomorrow morning there is a special mission for you," Xiao Muqing replied, then sauntered away with Gu Sinjie pushing his wheelchair while mocking Baili Ruyi.
Arriving at Huang Mingxiang's residence, Su Mama couldn't help but be surprised. The old woman was standing guard at the door, seeing that the presence of Xiao Muqing her happiness was unstoppable. This was the first time Xiao Muqing visited Huang Mingxiang, Su Mama was very happy. Finally after nearly a week of Huang Mingxiang and Xiao Muqing getting married, the man visited Huang Mingxiang's residence.
"Greetings, your honor. I will inform Wangfei of your arrival" said Su Mama.
Gu Sinjie shook his head from the back of the wheelchair. "No need, Su Mama. Let you in without disturbing Wangfei's focus."
Su Mama nodded in understanding, then opened the door for Xiao Muqing. After Gu Sinjie pushed Xiao Muqing's wheelchair inside, the man took it off and again walked outside to wait.
Xiao Muqing ran his own wheelchair personally, slowly he drew closer to Huang Mingxiang's workbench. His blue eyes looked at Huang Mingxiang who was asleep in the pile of work files, the man noticed the pile of files that turned out to be more than what was in his shadow.
Xiao Muqing was now beside Huang Mingxiang's chair, then placed the pile of files he had brought from his study on Huang Mingxiang's desk.
Xiao Muqing watched Huang Mingxiang, there was nothing else he was doing right now other than looking at Huang Mingxiang's face. Unknowingly, his right hand moved to touch Huang Mingxiang's head. But after almost touching, the man pulled his hand.
Huang Mingxiang frowned, his eyes still closed. Her body moved a little squirming, it seemed like the woman felt uncomfortable because the air at night was quite cold.
Xiao Muqing took off the coat he used, it was made from the fur of the best living bear a few years ago during his trip to the North country. Xiao Muqing put down the mantle to cover Huang Mingxiang, Huang Mingxiang's forehead which had previously shrunk, was now back to normal.
Xiao Muqing took out one of the dossier papers Huang Mingxiang was overrunning, worried that the paper would be damaged from being made a bed by Huang Mingxiang. As Xiao Muqing tried to pick it up slowly, Huang Mingxiang suddenly wriggled again and slowly opened his eyes.
Huang Mingxiang returned to his original sitting position, his hands moving to rub his eyes and turned towards Xiao Muqing with frowns. "Wangye?"
Xiao Muqing paid no heed to Huang Mingxiang, the man immediately took out a quick paper file that already looked uneventful.
Huang Mingxiang smiled faintly, he still intended to tease Xiao Muqing that amidst the lack of subconsciousness due to the newly awakened from sleep. "You're here to visit me because you miss me, right?"
Xiao Muqing looked at Huang Mingxiang coldly. "You used a paper job file for bedding?" Xiao Muqing's hand shook the paper.
Huang Mingxiang widened his eyes, then immediately retrieved the paper from Xiao Muqing's hand. "God! Wangye, Mingxiang was completely unintentional!" Huang Mingxiang tried to make the paper smooth again.
"Worked enough. If you're tired, don't force it" Xiao Muqing said, then her head glanced out the window. The moon looks so beautiful tonight, its bright light barging in through the window of the room.
Huang Mingxiang sighed. "Yes-yes, then what made Wangye visit the Mingxiang residence? Is there anything important?"
"What should require a special reason so that benwang can set foot on the land benwang himself?" reply Xiao Muqing.
Huang Mingxiang shook his head, once again he sighed. "Alright, then what can Mingxiang help you with now? Do you just want to meet me?" At the end of the sentence Huang Mingxiang's lips smiled.
Xiao Muqing looked coldly at Huang Mingxiang, then his eyes glanced at the pile of files he had just brought. "Crazy. Look at that pile, work this out tomorrow morning."
Huang Mingxiang frowned. A job? As her eyes followed Xiao Muqing's gaze, the woman widened her eyes. Huang Mingxiang sighed furiously. "Guye!!"
Huang Mingxiang massaged his forehead, he was already sick of working today. Xiao Muqing who saw this secretly smiled faintly, the man maintained his indifferent figure, then said, "Don't complain, the work won't be finished if you complain. Benwang will be here watching, so you can't laze around." Then Xiao Muqing's eyes glanced towards Huang Mingxiang's workroom door.
"Su Mama, make some warm tea and prepare some snacks," Xiao Muqing said, making Su Mama nod and immediately run towards the kitchen with a big smile.
