Miss Mu and the Canary

After a few days, Mu Xing sneaked in and told Song Youcheng that Bai Yan wanted to work as an editor in Song Youcheng's bookstore, and Song Youcheng naturally wanted it.

After Mu Xing said that Bai Yan was the well-known "Who Laughs", Song Youcheng almost jumped up.

"Great, if Ms. Bai is willing to contribute to our magazine, she won't have to worry about spending money." He rubbed his hands excitedly, "No, no, look, Ah Xuan, do I have to go and invite Miss Bai in person Is it?"

Mu Xing quickly pressed him down: "Don't be so grand, we know you still have so many things to do, just go and do it yourself. I will send her over to Shu Wan, there is no need to be formal. As for the contribution, she is willing to come if you want." .But it’s still too early to talk about the magazine, you need to settle the funding issue first.”

Only then did Song Youcheng nod his head: "Yes, yes, I'm so excited." He smiled bitterly, "In the past few months, there have been countless things that were originally finalized and changed before the deadline. I was also afraid of being rejected. I always want to make sure quickly.”

Mu Xing said: "Don't worry, Shu Wan won't be like this. She is close to me, so she won't cheat you."

After speaking, the two talked about Bai Yan's salary again.

Mu Xing originally intended not to be paid, but Song Youcheng insisted on refusing, and finally set a third of the original editor's salary.Song Youcheng assured again and again that when the development of the bookstore returned to the right track, the salary would be increased and compensation would be made.

After talking, Song Youcheng still has things to do, Mu Xing has settled his work today, so he went to find Bai Yan, and wanted to tell her about it, and have lunch together by the way.

As soon as he opened the door, Mu Xing saw Bai Yan sitting on the sofa, opposite to a woman, and the two were talking.As soon as she saw her coming in, Bai Yan hurriedly got up: "You're back, have you finished your work?" As she spoke, she quickly lowered her head and glanced at the person opposite.

Mu Xing walked over with a smile: "I'm done, so I want to come and see you. Let me tell you something. I remember this lady..." She was about to greet the woman on the sofa, but when she looked down, she was caught by the woman's face. The injury was taken aback.

The woman's charming face was covered with red marks, and there were many bloodstains from scratching, which spread to the inside of the high-necked cheongsam. It seemed that she had been severely beaten.

Controlling his expression, Mu Xing managed to finish speaking: "...is your friend?"

The woman on the sofa also seemed a little uncomfortable, she tilted her head, her curly hair covered half of her face, she stood up and said, "Miss Mu, I am Feihua, and I have met you several times in Yuhua Book Apartment. "

"Hi, hello, please sit down." Mu Xing nodded hurriedly, then turned his head to look at Bai Yan who was pouring tea, and signaled whether he should go to the study to avoid it.

Just as Bai Yan shook her head, Fei Hua on the sofa put away her slight embarrassment and said with a smile, "Did Miss Mu just come back from work?"

Seeing that she didn't need to dodge, Mu Xing consciously sat on the small sofa at the side to avoid looking directly at the wound on Feihua's face, and said: "Yes, I just wanted to come and accompany Shu Wan when I was free."

Bai Yan once talked about Fei Hua with Mu Xing, and knew that she knew about him, and Mu Xing did not avoid it.

Hearing this, Fei Hua smiled at Bai Yan and said, "You are blessed, Miss Mu is still so caring about you, unlike our principal, I don't know where to go to listen to the newcomers laughing."

Bringing a cup of tea to Mu Xing, Bai Yan added water to Feihua, and said, "Oh, don't you want to be favored? Look at Nong Yi's outfit, did you pick it up on the street? Don't dare to make a fortune secretly, but also want to wear it. Take me with you."

Fei Hua suddenly giggled.

Mu Xing listened to the two joking with each other, which was quite interesting.

Except when she first met her, she had never seen Bai Yan display such an accent before.

Bai Yan once told her that Suzhou dialect was just a means of her own, but she actually didn't like it, or even hated it.But after so many years, this tone seems to have been rooted in her bones. When she faces her friends wanton teasing, she always uses this tone unconsciously.

Different from the usual gentleness, the soft Wu Yu accompanies her laughing words, with a bit of savage energy and a bit of spicy breath.

Mu Xing likes Bai Yan like this very much.

Like she loves any aspect of her.

Over there, Feihua continued to talk about her principal, and Mu Xing was listening. It turned out that the principal was going to redeem Feihua, and she wanted to invite Bai Yan back to the hall for a gathering.

Mu Xing thought silently: Principal Zhang is the principal and director of Allen Girls' School. If Feihua belonged to him, ordinary people would never dare to hit her so hard.

Just as she was thinking, Fei Hua suddenly said to her: "I'm really sorry, Miss Mu should have been invited, but the sisters in the hall will also come, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the other side of the hall."

Mu Xing hired Bai Yan out under Wang Mengwei's name, so she couldn't take Bai Yan in and out of the hall like before.

Nodding her head to express her understanding, Mu Xing was about to congratulate Fei Hua, when she thought about it, she suddenly remembered that Li Yining had said before that she would talk to Principal Zhang about buying textbooks.And with the relationship between Feihua and Principal Zhang, if you ask her to blow the pillow, the chances of buying her will be greatly increased.

Having made up his mind, Mu Xing took advantage of a break in the topic and said euphemistically: "Speaking of Principal Zhang, I think the girls' school should be preparing for the textbooks for the next semester. It's in the company's dinner."

Hearing Mu Xing mention the textbook, Bai Yan naturally understood and winked with Fei Hua.

After many years of socializing, Feihua also heard Mu Xing's voice-over, and instead of continuing to practice Tai Chi, she said directly: "Miss Mu, is there any cooperation that you want to discuss with the principal? You might as well tell me, if I can help you, it is also a favor." A heart."

Seeing that she was so calm, Mu Xing stopped making rounds and explained the matter in a few words.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mu Xing finished speaking, Fei Hua laughed inexplicably.

She said: "What a coincidence, what a good day these days are, why are they all trying to find a way to use textbooks?"

Mu Xing was taken aback, and hurriedly asked which publishing house also wanted to go this way.

Fei Hua rolled her eyes, but she didn't say anything clearly, she just said: "Since it was Miss Mu who spoke, I naturally have no reason not to agree. It's just that the principal has gone to Nanjing for a meeting these few days. If you want to talk about something, please wait a few days."

Mu Xing quickly thanked him, and promised some rewards, but Fei Hua was not polite, and accepted it frankly.

After chatting a few more words, it was already meal time.Although Mu Xing and Bai Yan repeatedly asked to stay, Fei Hua got up and said goodbye: "You don't have much time to get together, so don't worry about me."

Taking Fei Hua all the way to the elevator, when Mu Xing and Bai Yan were about to go back to the room, the door of 304 on the opposite side suddenly opened, and a man came out.Seeing the two people coming towards him, the man showed a somewhat strange look on his face, and he muttered, not knowing why.

Seeing the man, Bai Yan greeted him, "Mr. Jiang, are you going to class?"

Mu Xing was about to say hello, but when he heard Bai Yan's words, Mr. Jiang's expression suddenly changed, as if he had seen a ghost, he hurried to catch up and squeezed past the two of them.Mu Xing quickly stretched out his hand to hold Bai Yan, fearing that she would be hit.

The moment she passed by, she actually heard the words from Teacher Jiang's mouth: "Father, forgive them, because..."

Before she could turn around, Teacher Jiang had already rushed to the stairs and disappeared into the corridor.

"He, what is he?" Mu Xing was dumbfounded.

Bai Yan pulled her back home as usual, and while putting on her apron, she said, "That's Teacher Jiang across the way. I heard from Mrs. Ma that he is a member of some religion and hates women. Help me tie the belt."

Mu Xing still felt a little unbelievable: "I hate women to such an extent that I can't avoid them? I also have classmates who are religious in the United States, but I have never seen such an exaggerated one."

After fastening the apron, Bai Yan walked into the kitchen: "I don't understand either. It is said that he claimed that he would not get married. When he was a guest at Mrs. Ma's house, he scolded Mr. Ma for choosing to marry a woman, and he was almost beaten up by Mr. Ma." Dayton. I met him in the corridor several times these days, he seemed to have seen a ghost, he almost poured dog blood stickers on me."

"It's really strange. It can be seen that the world is full of wonders." Mu Xing followed in, "What do you eat?"

With the help of Mrs. Ma next door, Bai Yan is now able to cook some simple home-cooked dishes. With Mu Xing's help, she quickly made two dishes and one soup.

After eating, Mu Xing asked, "I just wanted to ask, what happened to Fei Hua's face?"

Bai Yan sighed: "Principal Zhang said before that he wanted to redeem Fei Hua's body. I don't know how this matter was known by Principal Zhang's wife in Shanghai. The woman took advantage of Principal Zhang's business trip and brought a few people to find Fei Hua. There was a mess."

Mu Xing frowned, for a moment he didn't know whether to sympathize with Fei Hua who was beaten, or Mrs. Zhang who was "suspended to remarry".After thinking about it, she could only say: "It seems that this lady is really tough." Judging by Fei Hua's injuries, it is really not something a weak Qianqian can do.

Bai Yan shook her head: "Fei Hua can at least come to me, but the lady is still lying in the hospital."

Mu Xing was shocked: "Have you been sent to the hospital? Didn't you say that Madam brought someone with her? You haven't beaten Feihua yet?"

Suppressing a smile, Bai Yan said: "No, that lady left green onion nails two inches long. She was so excited when she hit Fei Hua that her nails caught on Fei Hua's clothes and were chopped off. Forget it, she was frightened by the blood coming out, she fainted from fright, and smashed it on the coffee table in the lobby of the hotel, or she would have been sent to the hospital."

Mu Xing: "...Ah."

She sincerely sighed: "What a wonderful woman."

After thinking for a while, Mu Xing said again: "This madam is so tough, if Fei Hua marries in, will life be easy?"

Bai Yan said: "It may not be easy to marry into it, but it must be difficult to not marry in the past."

Mu Xing frowned: "Could it be that Fei Hua has no other benefactors to choose from?"

Bai Yanshu showed her: "Do you know President Zhang's family background? The president of the university and the chairman of the board, the family also has real estate and shares in China Construction Bank. Younger than him, what about the unmarried son, who is not as rich as him; He is older than him, and his wife doesn't care about his affairs. He already has three wives and four concubines. Even if he is comparable to Principal Zhang in every aspect, there are still people who smoke opium, gamble, and beat others. Compared to these, what does it matter if Madam is more powerful?"

Mu Xing nodded in agreement, and said smugly: "It looks like me, who is rich, doesn't smoke opium, is not good at gambling, and it is impossible to beat people, and there are no wives and concubines at home. ah."

Bai Yan smiled and said: "Isn't that right, I really found a treasure." She put a piece of pork ribs into Mu Xing's bowl, "Come, give meat to our big baby."

Mu Xing ate it in one bite with a smile.

Lowering her head, Bai Yan said again: "You don't need to compare yourself to me, Feihua is already lucky if you are only compared to other people in the hall. Once Mrs. Zhang leaves, she can still sit in the restaurant without touching her fingers." She doesn’t need to think or know anything. She can go shopping and play cards with other bosses’ wives when she is free. She only needs to know what is fashionable, what is good, and how to please Principal Zhang.”

"Just changing from everyone's plaything to one's pet is already so difficult."
