137 Unexpected Voice
“Could it be that Bei Le wants to use this opportunity to please your mother and get her to agree to Mu En marrying her?” Bei Shuo muttered.
Mu Ci shook his head. “Don’t take it to heart. Since we can’t chase her away, let’s wait and see. There’s no need to waste your energy.”
Bei Shuo had never been good at reading people’s minds. Hearing this, she happily put this matter aside and went to tinker with her bottles.
Mu Ci followed her curiously. “These small bottles all look similar. How did you differentiate the different pills?”
Mu Ci asked if he didn’t understand.
Bei Shuo grinned and waved a small blue and white porcelain bottle in his hand. “Of course I can tell. I made them myself. Even the small bottles were made by me and my senior brothers.”
“What if someone replaces your medicine or small bottle? Can you find out?” Mu Ci asked.
Bei Shuo’s face went blank. “Who would do such a boring thing? This is medicine, not candy!”
Mu Ci laughed.
Bei Shuo went off to do something else. Mu Ci’s gaze landed on the medicine cabinet that was converted from a wine cabinet.

Gu Xin signed his name on the contract devoutly. He stood up and shook hands with Liu Ming. He said in a choked voice, “I can’t thank you enough for your kindness!”
Liu Ming picked up the contract and smiled. “President Gu, you’re being too serious. In business, what everyone wants is benefits.”
Gu Xin nodded heavily. “I won’t let your expectations down.”
What he was holding in his hand was a contract tailor-made for their Gu Group. With this contract, the Gu Group would be able to rise to a new level. It would definitely not be inferior to the Bei Family, who had climbed up the Mu Corporation’s social ladder.
Bei De and Bei Cong firmly believed that it was better to have a big tree to lean on. All these years, they had spent all their energy on managing their connections. He and Bei De had been good friends for many years. In terms of dealing with people, they gradually went against each other and went further and further away.
The Bei Corporation was indeed becoming more and more glorious. Bei Cong was young and promising, and his performance was becoming more and more eye-catching. He had once felt envious, but he could not follow suit.
He still liked to stay true to his duty and move forward steadily. It was the same for the education of his only son, Gu Ming.
A few days ago, Gu Ming had a conflict with Bei Le and was hospitalized due to a heartbreak. He did not expect the butler of the Mu Corporation’s Eldest Young Master, Liu Ming, to save him. It was a life-saving favor.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ming came to discuss a collaboration with him the next day. It was a not-so-famous company, but the business happened to be compatible with the Gu Family. He read the proposal and contract in detail and signed it happily.
He understood that this was Mu Ci’s private business and had nothing to do with the Mu Family. However, he would never lack partners. It was really the Gu Group’s honor that he chose them.
He wasn’t good with words, and he wished for nothing more than to have another mouth to express his gratitude.
Liu Ming reached out and patted his shoulder. “Old Gu, don’t be burdened. Everything is what the Gu Group deserves. If you didn’t do well, we wouldn’t have asked you to work with us. Don’t you think so?”
Gu Xin nodded heavily and shook Liu Ming’s hand.
“I’ve checked your son’s resume. It’s not bad. It’s time for you to bring him out to train. It’s good for children to suffer some setbacks. Whether it’s emotional or business, it’s beneficial for their growth. Our Young Master is looking for an assistant. If he’s interested, he can try to submit his resume,” Liu Ming said gently.
Gu Xin’s eyes lit up. “Alright, I’ll tell him this news. If he can seize the opportunity, then our Gu Family’s ancestors will be gratified.”
Seeing that he was a sensible person, Liu Ming didn’t say anything else.
When Liu Ming returned to the office, Mu Ci and Chen Hai were playing games online. Chen Hai was sitting on the sofa with his feet on the coffee table, looking nervous. Mu Ci was sitting in front of the computer, as calm as water.
Seeing Liu Ming come in, Mu Ci went offline without hesitation. “Did it go smoothly?”
He asked Liu Ming.
“Hey, Mu Ci! You bastard, how can you be like this? You’re too careless!” Chen Hai shouted as he lowered his feet. He was so nervous that he almost used both his hands and feet.
Mu Ci ignored him.
Liu Ming was used to it. He handed the contract to Mu Ci. “Everything went smoothly. Gu Xin is a sensible person.”
Mu Ci took the contract and put it aside. “That’s good.”
Chen Hai’s game hung. He threw down his cell phone in exasperation and walked over to strangle Mu Ci, but Mu Ci reached out to stop him. “Be steady. Your project contract has been signed. Hurry up and start work.”
Chen Hai said angrily, “I must find the designer of this game and poach him back at a high price. I’ll give him whatever he wants. I’ll even marry him!”
