CHAPTER 243: 243: STARTING A COMPANY NOW (20 EXTRA CHAPTERS FOR MONTHLY PASSES)

What appears more often are the "sweet interactions" between her and Jiang Nuo.

Just an actor, what right does he have to be so happy?

Yue Youxi felt a certain indescribable resentment and envy in his heart.

"Qiuniang..."

His fingers caressed the face of Mu Qiuniang in the photo, his eyes full of infatuation.

Such a good, such a beautiful woman, how could she possibly match with an actor? She should only be with him; only he could make her happy.

"Wait for me, I will soon come to your side!"

He even lowered his head and gave a light kiss to the person in the photo.

The night outside the window was deep. The stars hung low, a crescent moon perched on the treetop, distant tree shadows, nearby flowers drooping low, a night breeze passed by carrying wisps of fragrance.

Mu Qiuniang, who was drinking tea, inexplicably felt a stirring in her heart and looked up at the sky in surprise.

"What’s wrong?" asked Jiang Nuo, sitting across from her, rare in enjoying a moment of leisure.

Mu Qiuniang shook her head, "I feel like I sensed something, but I don’t know what it is."

"Isn’t it like what I read in the ancient texts before, saying some cultivators, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, can predict some things in advance?"

"Hmm."

"Then what did you sense?"

Mu Qiuniang was a bit helpless, "I’ve already said, I don’t know." The feeling was too vague; she couldn’t grasp it.

"If I cultivate to your level in the future, could I also sense some things?"

"It’s different for everyone; this kind of thing is hard to say."

"Isn’t that just like saying nothing?" Jiang Nuo was quite disappointed.

Mu Qiuniang slightly curled her lips, "I’ve already told you, cultivation is very mysterious, and everyone’s experience is different. What I’ve told you is just my feelings and experiences; if it suits you, then use it. If it doesn’t, then you’ll have to slowly explore and learn on your own."

"Then won’t I be exploring until the cows come home?"

"That’s why I initially asked you whether you wanted to cultivate, didn’t I?"

Alright, Jiang Nuo recalled his poor aptitude, no wonder many things she talked about, he couldn’t quite understand. Being so-called poorly qualified doesn’t necessarily mean he is illiterate or can’t understand meanings, but rather when receiving certain content, there might be a deviation from its original meaning.

It’s like how the same book can have a thousand Hamlets; what Mu Qiuniang talked about might be received in the same way by someone on her channel, but as for him, who knows what channel he’s on, probably receives obscure things.

To put it bluntly, even the simplest cultivation philosophy was an enigma to him, unable to comprehend.

On the third day after returning to the Capital City, Jiang Nuo was already running about again; one variety show needed him to be on, another endorsement required him to attend a live event, and perhaps there was a movie he needed to personally discuss with the director.

Although he was now an international super megastar, with countless scripts for him to choose from, what he decided to film and whether to film it required more than just reading the script; he also had to meet the directors. Not all directors were known to him; the ones he knew were the ones he’d once worked with.

He needed to understand the director, and the director also needed to comprehend him more closely to see if he truly fit the role they envisioned. He could play countless roles, but not all of them.

While Jiang Nuo was busy, Mu Qiuniang stayed at home cultivating, and generally, the people of the Mu family dare not disturb her. Because Wang Yuan had to start a beauty cosmetics company, he had no choice but to make several trips to her place.

However, Mu Qiuniang understood the formula but didn’t understand business.

Ultimately, the young Mu Qing was once again dispatched to help with Wang Yuan’s new company, running here and there, ridiculously busy.

Looking at the exceptionally capable Mu Qing, Wang Yuan couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah Qing, if only my son Murong were as competitive as you, I wouldn’t have to worry anymore."

"Aunt, it’s because my cousin is young and not sensible yet; he’ll be fine when he grows up," Mu Qing certainly wouldn’t say that at his cousin’s age, he had already started a business. "Besides, he’s very filial to you. During grandpa’s birthday banquet last time, didn’t he manage to cajole many good things out of the grandaunt to honor you?"

Even the formula was given by the grandaunt. If it weren’t for Mu Bai and Murong pleasing the grandaunt, would she have given it?

Thinking of the grandaunt’s abilities, Mu Qing felt that it wouldn’t be bad for Murong to fall into her hands. At least with the grandaunt’s skills, Murong wouldn’t do too badly in the future.

In fact, he envied Murong quite a bit. Not only was he pampered since childhood, even if he made mistakes, someone would cover for him. And now, with the grandaunt handling things, even if he doesn’t take over the Mu family’s affairs in the future, just learning a skill or two from the grandaunt would benefit Mu Qing for a lifetime.

"Hehehe... your cousin is just lucky; without the grandaunt, he wouldn’t know what he’d do. Your uncle even told me that the Mu family will be passed on to you, and if your cousin has the ability, he can be your assistant and help out. If not, you can just provide him with more pocket money like your uncle does. That kid, as long as he has money to spend, isn’t worried about anything."

"Aunt, by then, my pocket money will probably not even be as much as my cousin’s. Now that you’ve started a company, just based on this formula from the grandaunt, the business won’t be bad. When the company earns money, wouldn’t you give it to my cousin? He enjoys life more than I do; I’m fated to work hard and will have to dedicate most of my life to the Mu family..."

Mu Qing felt a myriad of emotions in his heart that he couldn’t quite articulate. Even his aunt said that the Mu family would rely on him in the future, so it seems that his owning the Mu family is inevitable if nothing goes wrong.

In the past, everyone said that Murong was the future of the Mu family, but now that Murong had another path, the Mu family was handed to him...

Alas! Why did he feel like he was picking up someone else’s "cast-off"?

Except that this "cast-off" was the Mu family.

"It’s because you’re capable; if only my Murong were as capable as you, I’d laugh myself awake every night. I’ll have to rely on you for the company’s matters. Your aunt knows nothing and wouldn’t even know if she was being fooled."

"Don’t worry about this; uncle is already helping you find a professional manager. If there’s a suitable one, they’ll be hired with a high salary. Also, uncle will periodically assist in inspecting the company’s operations; there won’t be any major issues in that regard. By then, all you need to do is sit and count the money."

"That would be perfect. By the way, the grandaunt gave me a few bottles of beauty cream and body care cream last time; take some back for your mom to use. This stuff works really well; once your mom tries it, she’ll understand. Tell her not to be polite to me, and ask for more when she’s done."

"Then I’ll have to thank aunt on behalf of my mom. The ones grandaunt gave her last time are probably almost finished. Yesterday, she even mentioned wanting to visit the grandaunt when she had time to see if she could get some more. Aunt, you really are timely rain; now that you’ve given them, my mom doesn’t need to go."
