Beauty Steals the Country [End Times]
Chapter 53 Xi Shan, the first step of the dwarf
Mu Xishan stared intently at Xi Shan—this man with the same body shape as Jiang Qi, was wrapped in black cloth, even his face was covered with bandages, like a moving mummy, his throat was burned to an unimaginable degree... ...But it was from such a person that I heard his past name.
sassi.
"Look at me like this...do you fall in love with me again?" Xi Shan laughed, sat down by the bed, and held Mu Xishan's hand.Xi Shan's cold hands seemed to have no warmth. Mu Xishan was startled back to his senses, and instantly withdrew his hand, pulling away a little distance, "What do you want to do?"
Xi Shan approached again, "Good boy, be obedient, don't hide..." Xi Shan's soft voice seemed to be coaxing a child, the weird tone made people creepy, and Mu Xishan's wrist was restrained again, this man was as strong as Jiang Qi.He wanted to call someone immediately, but Jiang Qi, who was sleeping not far away, had already taken off his disguise, and part of his body was exposed. The bright moonlight poured from the window onto the ground, and Jiang Qi's uncovered body did not leave a normal shadow on the ground. Xishan could only hold back.
"Sure enough, the abilities of both of them have changed. What is the reason..." Xi Shan observed for a long time, then murmured softly, his cold fingers slid across Mu Xishan's wrist, like a reptile sliding across the skin, and rubbed his ring finger , whispering to the butterfly imprint, "Could it be because of this?"
Mu Xishan didn't have time to think about the meaning of these words, but just looked at Xi Shan.Xi Shan released Xishan's stiff hand and patted his wrist, "Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you...at least not now."
The question that Mu Xishan most urgently wants to know at this time is——
"who are you?"
Xi Shan seemed to be able to see Mu Xishan watching him clearly through the bandage, tilted his head, and smiled strangely, "This is really a strange question."
Mu Xishan pursed his lips, wet and dry lips several times, and finally mentioned the name that had become unfamiliar——
"Sassi...who is it?"
Xi Shan seemed to hear something funny, so he couldn't help laughing out loud, and reached out to stroke the top of Mu Xishan's head, "Silly boy, why are you still so sensitive to this name after losing your memory? I've said it many times, I don't Know who he is." Xi Shan paused, said "ah" softly, and then said, "Maybe I knew it in the past, but things that can be easily forgotten are not worth paying attention to, are they?"
"When you appeared in front of Jiang Qi, why did you call that name and leave?"
Mu Xishan's reluctance troubled Xi Shan a little.If it was someone else, even Mu Xishan from the past, he wouldn't talk to him when he didn't want to, but feeling the eagerness of the person on the other side unexpectedly made him feel like being pulled and unable to control himself.
Wanting to satisfy Mu Xishan's emotions...Xi Shan smiled and said, "He's really a troublesome child... Well, let me think about it, you must know that when you grow up, you don't have a good memory."
Xi Shan said so, and began to recall——
"I think Jiang Qi should have told you about my origin... although even I don't know it well. I think I may have died? It was an endless darkness, time seemed to have no end, I don't know it has passed It took a long time to find the exit, it was the traction from Jiang Qi, as if I found a carrier. I used his shadow to survive for a short time. At first it seemed to be looking for someone? Although I don’t have the memory now, maybe it’s called 'Sassi ', or maybe not. But it must have been a beautiful person, how about I come back from the dead and still think about it? Then I found you, you were a beautiful child at that time... As time goes by , I gradually forgot what it was I was looking for, and I began to get tired of those vague pasts, including that obsession. I remember correctly that you were very jealous at that time... said that you always heard me calling for something in my sleep The person's name, perhaps that 'Sasi'?"
As if recalling some interesting scene, Xi Shan's piercing voice became softer, "Silly boy... In fact, when I wake up, I don't remember any dreams at all, and I'm not interested in knowing, it doesn't matter at all ...I find it funny that you compete with the person in the void in your dream."
Xi Shan shook his head, returned to reality from memory, and said to Mu Xishan, "What else do you want to know?"
Mu Xishan had many thoughts in an instant, one of which was infinitely magnified, making him unable to think about anything else in his mind, but it was quickly suppressed by him, and he needed more evidence to stop Disappointed by the gap between reality and delusion.Mu Xishan sat upright, even his voice began to tremble——
"...I want to know what you look like."
"That won't do."
Xi Shan resolutely refused, and his tone did not allow any room for negotiation.He glanced at the moonlight outside the window, left from the bed, and turned to leave.Mu Xishan was thinking quickly in his mind, and accidentally saw a small knife not far away, which was used by Jiang Qi just now to cut large pieces of handmade aromatherapy into small pieces. The blade glowed coldly under the moonlight, and Mu Xishan Suddenly said: "...the book you gave me back then is not lost."
Xi Shan turned his head in surprise, Mu Xishan said, "Don't you want to know if my changes are related to that book?"
"What tricks are you doing?" Xi Shan asked strangely.
Mu Xishan unbuttoned his clothes on the spot, Xi Shan was startled, and subconsciously looked away.From the corner of his eyes, Mu Xishan saw Mu Xishan take out a sheet of paper from his waist, and the thin sheet became thicker while trembling, so Xi Shan turned around and took it with interest.Mu Xishan handed out the book and got out of bed. Xi Shan looked up and saw that he was just arranging his clothes, then looked away and focused on the book in his hand.He didn't know that the book could be deformed, so he didn't rush to read it while holding it in his hand. Instead, he shook it back and forth, trying to change the book back to the thin paper.
When Xi Shan's attention was distracted, Mu Xishan quietly got the knife, stood behind Xi Shan and shouted:
"Xi Shan."
Xi Shan turned his head in response, and the light reflected by the blade flashed. Although he backed away vigilantly, the flaws exposed by his turning back made it too late for him to dodge too far. All the bandages on his face were cut open, and the blade scraped the skin The blood dripped down his cheeks, and when the skin came into contact with the moonlight, it immediately burned black mist like a flame, and his face was burnt to pieces in an instant. The burning pain made Xi Shan tremble all over, black air came out from his hands, and he wanted to throw it away immediately. Come to Mu Xishan, let him taste the hellish feeling!
But when his idea came out, the burning pain on his ring finger made his nerves twitch, and he couldn't put it into practice at all.
Taking a few steps back to avoid the range of the moonlight, Xi Shan'e looked fiercely at Mu Xishan who was completely stunned facing his face, "Damn it! Look what you have done?!"
Mu Xishan, who was awakened, was also twitched by the tragedy. He immediately pulled up the thin quilt and spread it out to cover Xi Shan's head, but the shock in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time... He thought it was related to the shadow, but he never expected that Xi Shan had a face exactly like Simon's!
This message alone caused Mu Xishan's brain to stop, not to mention... "Why did it become like this?"
"I think this is what I want to ask! What stupid thing are you doing?" Xi Shan said through the thin quilt, suppressing his anger.
"You are afraid of the moonlight, and you wrap your whole body to avoid the sun even during the day, so you are afraid of the existence of 'light'." Mu Xishan finished speaking very quickly, and was suddenly hugged by a hand through the thin film, Then he fell down on the bed according to the strength, and the palm of the instigator Xi Shan rested on his face, pressing on him from a small distance, the hanging thin blanket cut off the outside world, covering the two of them in a small space——
Only each other.
In the dark, Mu Xishan's excellent night vision ability saw clearly the ugly burns on Xi Shan's face, which was the same as Simon's, and his heart seemed to be pulled.Without the cover of the bandage, Xi Shan's dark blue eyes were reddened by burning, like a sea of blood churning, narrowed dangerously, and grabbed Mu Xishan's neck, "Do you think I will tell you the truth? What a dishonest, flea-like boy, you've pissed me off!"
Mu Xishan was in such a state of confusion that he had no intention of dodging at all, allowing Xi Shan to pinch his vitals, looking directly into those eyes, his throat seemed to be dry, and he let out a hoarse voice:
"Tell me who you are--?"
Why is there a person who looks exactly like Simon, who can even call him by name, and has looked for him before him? !If it's a coincidence, he doesn't have to worry about it... If it's not, then how could Simon, who was once favored by the light of the empire and a 5-star light system mage, become so afraid of the light and even change his temperament drastically?
"Your eyes displease me!" That kind of eyes that look like looking at filth... Xi Shan finished speaking in a gloomy tone, and stretched out his hand to cover the sight that made his heart throbbing inexplicably.
Mu Xishan thought of something, quickly took off Xi Shan's gloves, his eyes dropped, and in front of his eyes was a pair of delicate and pampered hands, white palms that would never appear in this era, and the ring finger was surrounded by a burnt butterfly imprint, Mu Xishan was completely stunned——
How could there be such repeated coincidences?
Next to my ear was Xi Shan's furious voice because of being provoked again, "You really—"
However, before Xi Shan could do anything, his body began to twist, and then disappeared like air, and the thin quilt that had been propped up also hung limply, covering Muxi Mountain.
When Mu Xishan lifted the thin quilt and sat up, he turned his head and saw that Jiang Qi on the wicker chair had opened his eyes, looked around, stopped his sight when he saw Mu Xishan, got up and walked towards Mu Xishan.
When passing through the window, the bright moonlight left a normal shadow on the bottom of Jiang Qi's feet, which was dark and prostrate on the ground... Once he imagined that Simon was hiding there, Mu Xishan felt his heart being squeezed and tormented, so--
Why on earth did Simon come back here? !
"What did he do to you?" Jiang Qi looked at the disheveled Mu Xishan, frowned, feeling a little annoyed.
Mu Xishan adjusted his posture and hid the exposed corner of the holy book back under the quilt, "...it's not a serious matter." Then he asked seemingly unintentionally, "How often does he come out, how many days each time?"
Jiang Qi looked away from Mu Xishan's bare skin, and said, "I come out once in about ten days, and I will come back after about five days away."
Mu Xishan lowered his gaze, and suddenly suggested, "Leave Xi Shan aside... As partners, if we keep living apart, there will definitely be a lot of gossip."
Jiang Qi was surprised that Mu Xishan would suddenly bring up this topic at this time, and he was keenly aware of the clue, but said calmly, "Your plan is..."
"In order to avoid spreading bad news, we can get together one day a week." These words are completely opposite to Mu Xishan's indifferent attitude towards Jiang Qi. Since Mu Xishan's behavior is so casual, Jiang Qi also knows that it is unusual, but he does. No objection, but said: "Yes."
"Go to sleep." Mu Xishan turned over and lay down. Hearing Jiang Qi's footsteps leave again, he repacked the holy book... If you want to know more mysteries, you can only wait for Xi Shan to appear again.
After one night, Mu Xishan was woken up by a knock on the door early in the morning, and the maid who sent the message informed him that Lu Bao was waiting outside.
It is to preside over the overall situation of commodity trading.
Just after dawn, Mu Xishan hurried to the annex, discussed the content of the contract with Lu Bao on the way, and after entering the annex, he went directly to the reception room in the courtyard of the S base. There were many city lords sitting there, counting more than 30 at a glance. There were quite a few city owners of small bases. The city owners who were chatting raised their heads when they heard the footsteps, and saw Mu Xishan stand up enthusiastically, and all looked at him with smiles.
"Master Mu, you are finally here, but you are waiting for us, let's sign the transaction contract!"
The city owners chattered like a group of wolf dogs that wag their tails when they smell the smell of meat. Mu Xishan whispered something in Lu Bao's ear, and Lu Bao left the reception room to go to the relevant office of the base to prepare the contract.Mu Xishan looked back and saw that everyone's eyes were shining, and their eyes moved with him. Mu Xishan was impatient with these things when he was in the empire, so he simply handed it over to Gui Chengmei, who was in charge of foreign affairs, and made a few arrangements and became the hands-off shopkeeper.
After Lu Bao came back, Mu Xishan spread out the contract in front of everyone.
The city lords picked it up and took a look, all of them were stunned——
"If the original price is traded, base s, as a supplier, can provide unlimited goods and deliver them to each base in person, allowing the base to increase the price within an appropriate range to sell, and help carry out the sales activities in the first three days according to the local pricing."
"If you do not agree to the intervention of the s base, those who want to sell independently can buy in batches, but the monthly limit is limited, and the selling price will be moderately increased on the basis of the original price."
After reading the commodity transaction documents, the city owners were puzzled, but when they saw the limited quantity in the independent sales, which was too small to fit between teeth, and the so-called "moderate price increase" that had been multiplied several times, they turned their attention back to the previous item... ...It's a good thing to help sell, and it saves manpower. Who would disagree?It's just that base s did such thankless and redundant things, which made other city owners have doubts.
Mu Xishan did not explain, and signed one name after another on the transaction contract.
The city owners also signed their names one after another, not caring about the sentence at the end of the contract, "if you don't fulfill the conditions for the three-day sale, the contract will be canceled immediately."Before leaving, one by one urged Mu Xishan to call the S base to deliver the goods as soon as possible.Among the products brought by Muxi Mountain, except for the mask that was half-rounded in ink in advance, and the portion of the medium-sized base and the Panlong base, all the others were divided equally for the city lords to try.The city lords left contentedly, completely unimaginable what would be the accompanying gift when the goods arrived.
It was only after eight o'clock immediately after Mu Xishan left the annex, and went straight back to the city lord's mansion for dinner.
When Mu Xishan returned, his name appeared in Huaxia's newspapers again, shocking all bases in the northeast, central south, and southwest.The leaders of the three major bases flipped through the newspapers, and unexpectedly found that the words "Muxishan" were all on the front page, the sub-page, the entertainment page, and even the last page.
Front page: "S base has developed amazing products, and the situation of the exchange meeting has been reversed!" "This news came from the auditors. In the press release, a lot of words were used to exaggerate the magic of the two products. Among them, the detoxification of the Kaori mask became the focus, and the detoxification of Mrs. Zhang Mo's bee venom was also a perfect example. In 5 minutes, it was canceled because Zhang Mo called to greet.
Subversion: "Today's rating, Mu Xishan will become the first base city lord in history to be promoted to four-star within half a month!" "The text not only speculates on the star rating of Mount Muxi, but also describes the possibility of the promotion of the S base.
Entertainment Edition: "One, two, three things about the love between Jiang Chengzhu and Mu Chengzhu's husband and wife! "This article adopts a romantic girlish style of writing, and describes Jiang Qi personally holding an umbrella to shade Muxi Mountain, personally searching and putting on shoes for him, and the eye contact between the two at the meeting, and the "deep love" every night after the meeting, Very fancy.
The final version is the photo of Xishan entering the building on the first day of the meeting, which happened after the conflict with the people in the border town.Next to the photo, I wrote the "support" remarks, and the author praised Mu Xishan's demeanor in the first soldier and then the courtesy in a tone of admiration.
Entering the city lord's mansion, Mu Xishan was brought to the dining room by the maid. Jiang Qi had already sat down, and the dishes that hadn't been touched yet were placed on the table. The head maid standing next to him was reading the content of the newspaper that day, which happened to be a paragraph describing Mu Xishan.
"When he bowed down to apologize to the border townsmen and then stood up again, no one could not be crushed by his wind and bone, the sunlight outlined his body like sacred wings, releasing his noble soul—"
Mu Xishan paused, doubting whether this writer had a relationship with Lu Bao.
Seeing Mu Xishan coming in, Jiang Qi raised his hand to prevent the maid from continuing to read.
The two had a meal without talking. After the meal, after the maids packed up the plates and left, Jiang Qi said:
"I heard that you plan to conduct a three-day sales...do you want to take the opportunity to make a name for the dwarves?"
Mu Xishan said coldly, "You are really well informed."
"At least I'm by your side. I haven't planted any nails... It's because the staff found unusual information when preparing the contract, so they will naturally want to report it."
Mu Xishan was slightly surprised that Jiang Qi directly revealed the source of the information.Jiang Qi clasped his hands, and said to Mu Xishan, "I want to remind you that getting the residents to accept dwarves is not something that happens overnight, too much is too late, and we must avoid causing backlash."
Mu Xishan frankly accepted the sincere advice, nodded and said, "So... it's only three days."
Jiang Qi understood that Mu Xishan had listened to it, so he didn't say any more. Today, the shadow returns, he can go out normally, and there are still many official duties to be dealt with.Mu Xishan turned around and went to the telephone room in the mansion. The rich and powerful Panlong base not only has several communication stations used by residents, but even the office building and the city lord's mansion have installed wired telephones.
After dialing, the station master transferred the call. After waiting for a long time, I heard someone answer again. It was from Jiang Feng, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
【Are you okay there? What are the arrangements for this call? 】
A voice of joy hidden in the cold came, and Mu Xishan was silent for a moment, before saying in a business-like tone: "S base has already signed many orders for other bases, you should go to the dwarf's cave immediately, and count the sales of the past few days." For the quantity of goods, according to the quantity of the order, the nearest base with the fewest orders will be selected first for sale... For the specific order situation, you can call and ask Lu Bao personally, and he will explain it to you in detail."
Jiang Feng on the other end hung up the phone, feeling a little lost, held up the newspaper that he hadn't put down when he came in a hurry, slid his finger over the picture on the last page, sighed slightly, closed the newspaper, packed up his mood and went to busy business.
After arriving at the base of the gnomes, the gnomes were a little surprised to hear that the products went on sale so quickly, and they were happy to think that the things they made could benefit others, so they actively sorted out the goods.
Jiang Feng used the dwarf's phone to call Lu Bao, and was stunned when he heard Mu Xishan's plan, "Is it transported and sold by the dwarf?"
Lu Bao on the other end said: [Yes, what the city owner means is that the sales in the first three days are all in charge of the dwarfs, and the S base only sends a small number of staff to assist the dwarves in their operations, and protect the safety of the dwarves by the way. 】
Jiang Qi shifted his gaze to the busy dwarf again, and understood Mu Xishan's plan.
At noon, the guards of a small base were sweating profusely. Suddenly, they saw a group of vehicles approaching from a distance. The first vehicle with the "s" logo was waiting for the vehicles to stop in front of the city gate. Jiang Feng in the car hurried down to greet him, but then, seeing the dwarves getting off the car one after another, the guards who felt that their eyes were not enough were all stunned!
What's happening here? !
Then an emergency call was made to the Panlong base, and the city owner of the base who was having lunch was called. The other end of the phone said: "The city owner, the city owner! A group of dwarfs have come to our base. Do you want to let them in or not?!"
The city lord was stunned, thinking that he came here for this matter before he had eaten his meal, and spit out rice grains in a bad mood and scolded: "Idiot! Aren't you talking nonsense?! Drive them all away, drive them away! It's such a trivial matter Look for me, you think I'm that frizzy little city lord of base S... really let them in, do you want the face of our base?!"
"But but!" The captain of the city guard was so anxious that he couldn't speak, "Didn't you just call in a good mood and say that the S base notified you that there will be goods coming soon, and you still help us sell them? Are you still happy? If you say there are very few products, give it to us first! But the problem is, all the people who come to deliver and sell products are dwarves——!!!”
The city owner was stunned: "Who are you talking about?!!"
The captain of the city guard said: "Dwarf! Third Young Master Jiang said, if you let in, you will enter, if you don't enter, you will cancel the transaction!!!"
"Wait, wait, wait!" The city lord felt that his head was not enough, "Wait... I'll ask about the situation."
The city lord asked the secretary to go to the s base to ask about the situation. After a while, the secretary came back and sent a message: "S base said, according to the content of the contract, if you don't agree to 'sale at the original price', you can also terminate the contract and choose the second purchase plan, but choose There is only one right, if you give up both at the same time, the s base will completely terminate the product cooperation because of your dishonesty."
This makes it seem that there is still room for change in the way of buying, and the buying and selling are also reasonable.Thinking of the limited quantity and doubled price of the second type, the unprepared city owner almost fainted!At first, I thought it was luck to be delivered first, but only then did I realize that it was really bad luck!The city lord snorted coldly in his heart, it turns out that the S base is waiting here!
The person who takes the first step is always the one who needs the most courage. After hesitating again and again, the city lord finally gritted his teeth and said viciously to the captain of the guard: "...Let! He! They! Come in! Go!"
Therefore, after experiencing many exclusions, the dwarf finally stepped into other bases except the S base openly.
sassi.
"Look at me like this...do you fall in love with me again?" Xi Shan laughed, sat down by the bed, and held Mu Xishan's hand.Xi Shan's cold hands seemed to have no warmth. Mu Xishan was startled back to his senses, and instantly withdrew his hand, pulling away a little distance, "What do you want to do?"
Xi Shan approached again, "Good boy, be obedient, don't hide..."

However, before Xi Shan could do anything, his body began to twist, and then disappeared like air, and the thin quilt that had been propped up also hung limply, covering Muxi Mountain.
When Mu Xishan lifted the thin quilt and sat up, he turned his head and saw that Jiang Qi on the wicker chair had opened his eyes, looked around, stopped his sight when he saw Mu Xishan, got up and walked towards Mu Xishan.
When passing through the window, the bright moonlight left a normal shadow on the bottom of Jiang Qi's feet, which was dark and prostrate on the ground... Once he imagined that Simon was hiding there, Mu Xishan felt his heart being squeezed and tormented, so--
Why on earth did Simon come back here? !
"What did he do to you?" Jiang Qi looked at the disheveled Mu Xishan, frowned, feeling a little annoyed.
Mu Xishan adjusted his posture and hid the exposed corner of the holy book back under the quilt, "...it's not a serious matter." Then he asked seemingly unintentionally, "How often does he come out, how many days each time?"
Jiang Qi looked away from Mu Xishan's bare skin, and said, "I come out once in about ten days, and I will come back after about five days away."
Mu Xishan lowered his gaze, and suddenly suggested, "Leave Xi Shan aside... As partners, if we keep living apart, there will definitely be a lot of gossip."
Jiang Qi was surprised that Mu Xishan would suddenly bring up this topic at this time, and he was keenly aware of the clue, but said calmly, "Your plan is..."
"In order to avoid spreading bad news, we can get together one day a week." These words are completely opposite to Mu Xishan's indifferent attitude towards Jiang Qi. Since Mu Xishan's behavior is so casual, Jiang Qi also knows that it is unusual, but he does. No objection, but said: "Yes."
"Go to sleep." Mu Xishan turned over and lay down. Hearing Jiang Qi's footsteps leave again, he repacked the holy book... If you want to know more mysteries, you can only wait for Xi Shan to appear again.
After one night, Mu Xishan was woken up by a knock on the door early in the morning, and the maid who sent the message informed him that Lu Bao was waiting outside.
It is to preside over the overall situation of commodity trading.
Just after dawn, Mu Xishan hurried to the annex, discussed the content of the contract with Lu Bao on the way, and after entering the annex, he went directly to the reception room in the courtyard of the S base. There were many city lords sitting there, counting more than 30 at a glance. There were quite a few city owners of small bases. The city owners who were chatting raised their heads when they heard the footsteps, and saw Mu Xishan stand up enthusiastically, and all looked at him with smiles.
"Master Mu, you are finally here, but you are waiting for us, let's sign the transaction contract!"
The city owners chattered like a group of wolf dogs that wag their tails when they smell the smell of meat. Mu Xishan whispered something in Lu Bao's ear, and Lu Bao left the reception room to go to the relevant office of the base to prepare the contract.Mu Xishan looked back and saw that everyone's eyes were shining, and their eyes moved with him. Mu Xishan was impatient with these things when he was in the empire, so he simply handed it over to Gui Chengmei, who was in charge of foreign affairs, and made a few arrangements and became the hands-off shopkeeper.
After Lu Bao came back, Mu Xishan spread out the contract in front of everyone.
The city lords picked it up and took a look, all of them were stunned——
"If the original price is traded, base s, as a supplier, can provide unlimited goods and deliver them to each base in person, allowing the base to increase the price within an appropriate range to sell, and help carry out the sales activities in the first three days according to the local pricing."
"If you do not agree to the intervention of the s base, those who want to sell independently can buy in batches, but the monthly limit is limited, and the selling price will be moderately increased on the basis of the original price."
After reading the commodity transaction documents, the city owners were puzzled, but when they saw the limited quantity in the independent sales, which was too small to fit between teeth, and the so-called "moderate price increase" that had been multiplied several times, they turned their attention back to the previous item... ...It's a good thing to help sell, and it saves manpower. Who would disagree?It's just that base s did such thankless and redundant things, which made other city owners have doubts.
Mu Xishan did not explain, and signed one name after another on the transaction contract.
The city owners also signed their names one after another, not caring about the sentence at the end of the contract, "if you don't fulfill the conditions for the three-day sale, the contract will be canceled immediately."Before leaving, one by one urged Mu Xishan to call the S base to deliver the goods as soon as possible.Among the products brought by Muxi Mountain, except for the mask that was half-rounded in ink in advance, and the portion of the medium-sized base and the Panlong base, all the others were divided equally for the city lords to try.The city lords left contentedly, completely unimaginable what would be the accompanying gift when the goods arrived.
It was only after eight o'clock immediately after Mu Xishan left the annex, and went straight back to the city lord's mansion for dinner.
When Mu Xishan returned, his name appeared in Huaxia's newspapers again, shocking all bases in the northeast, central south, and southwest.The leaders of the three major bases flipped through the newspapers, and unexpectedly found that the words "Muxishan" were all on the front page, the sub-page, the entertainment page, and even the last page.
Front page: "S base has developed amazing products, and the situation of the exchange meeting has been reversed!" "This news came from the auditors. In the press release, a lot of words were used to exaggerate the magic of the two products. Among them, the detoxification of the Kaori mask became the focus, and the detoxification of Mrs. Zhang Mo's bee venom was also a perfect example. In 5 minutes, it was canceled because Zhang Mo called to greet.
Subversion: "Today's rating, Mu Xishan will become the first base city lord in history to be promoted to four-star within half a month!" "The text not only speculates on the star rating of Mount Muxi, but also describes the possibility of the promotion of the S base.
Entertainment Edition: "One, two, three things about the love between Jiang Chengzhu and Mu Chengzhu's husband and wife! "This article adopts a romantic girlish style of writing, and describes Jiang Qi personally holding an umbrella to shade Muxi Mountain, personally searching and putting on shoes for him, and the eye contact between the two at the meeting, and the "deep love" every night after the meeting, Very fancy.
The final version is the photo of Xishan entering the building on the first day of the meeting, which happened after the conflict with the people in the border town.Next to the photo, I wrote the "support" remarks, and the author praised Mu Xishan's demeanor in the first soldier and then the courtesy in a tone of admiration.
Entering the city lord's mansion, Mu Xishan was brought to the dining room by the maid. Jiang Qi had already sat down, and the dishes that hadn't been touched yet were placed on the table. The head maid standing next to him was reading the content of the newspaper that day, which happened to be a paragraph describing Mu Xishan.
"When he bowed down to apologize to the border townsmen and then stood up again, no one could not be crushed by his wind and bone, the sunlight outlined his body like sacred wings, releasing his noble soul—"
Mu Xishan paused, doubting whether this writer had a relationship with Lu Bao.
Seeing Mu Xishan coming in, Jiang Qi raised his hand to prevent the maid from continuing to read.
The two had a meal without talking. After the meal, after the maids packed up the plates and left, Jiang Qi said:
"I heard that you plan to conduct a three-day sales...do you want to take the opportunity to make a name for the dwarves?"
Mu Xishan said coldly, "You are really well informed."
"At least I'm by your side. I haven't planted any nails... It's because the staff found unusual information when preparing the contract, so they will naturally want to report it."
Mu Xishan was slightly surprised that Jiang Qi directly revealed the source of the information.Jiang Qi clasped his hands, and said to Mu Xishan, "I want to remind you that getting the residents to accept dwarves is not something that happens overnight, too much is too late, and we must avoid causing backlash."
Mu Xishan frankly accepted the sincere advice, nodded and said, "So... it's only three days."
Jiang Qi understood that Mu Xishan had listened to it, so he didn't say any more. Today, the shadow returns, he can go out normally, and there are still many official duties to be dealt with.Mu Xishan turned around and went to the telephone room in the mansion. The rich and powerful Panlong base not only has several communication stations used by residents, but even the office building and the city lord's mansion have installed wired telephones.
After dialing, the station master transferred the call. After waiting for a long time, I heard someone answer again. It was from Jiang Feng, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
【Are you okay there? What are the arrangements for this call? 】
A voice of joy hidden in the cold came, and Mu Xishan was silent for a moment, before saying in a business-like tone: "S base has already signed many orders for other bases, you should go to the dwarf's cave immediately, and count the sales of the past few days." For the quantity of goods, according to the quantity of the order, the nearest base with the fewest orders will be selected first for sale... For the specific order situation, you can call and ask Lu Bao personally, and he will explain it to you in detail."
Jiang Feng on the other end hung up the phone, feeling a little lost, held up the newspaper that he hadn't put down when he came in a hurry, slid his finger over the picture on the last page, sighed slightly, closed the newspaper, packed up his mood and went to busy business.
After arriving at the base of the gnomes, the gnomes were a little surprised to hear that the products went on sale so quickly, and they were happy to think that the things they made could benefit others, so they actively sorted out the goods.
Jiang Feng used the dwarf's phone to call Lu Bao, and was stunned when he heard Mu Xishan's plan, "Is it transported and sold by the dwarf?"
Lu Bao on the other end said: [Yes, what the city owner means is that the sales in the first three days are all in charge of the dwarfs, and the S base only sends a small number of staff to assist the dwarves in their operations, and protect the safety of the dwarves by the way. 】
Jiang Qi shifted his gaze to the busy dwarf again, and understood Mu Xishan's plan.
At noon, the guards of a small base were sweating profusely. Suddenly, they saw a group of vehicles approaching from a distance. The first vehicle with the "s" logo was waiting for the vehicles to stop in front of the city gate. Jiang Feng in the car hurried down to greet him, but then, seeing the dwarves getting off the car one after another, the guards who felt that their eyes were not enough were all stunned!
What's happening here? !
Then an emergency call was made to the Panlong base, and the city owner of the base who was having lunch was called. The other end of the phone said: "The city owner, the city owner! A group of dwarfs have come to our base. Do you want to let them in or not?!"
The city lord was stunned, thinking that he came here for this matter before he had eaten his meal, and spit out rice grains in a bad mood and scolded: "Idiot! Aren't you talking nonsense?! Drive them all away, drive them away! It's such a trivial matter Look for me, you think I'm that frizzy little city lord of base S... really let them in, do you want the face of our base?!"
"But but!" The captain of the city guard was so anxious that he couldn't speak, "Didn't you just call in a good mood and say that the S base notified you that there will be goods coming soon, and you still help us sell them? Are you still happy? If you say there are very few products, give it to us first! But the problem is, all the people who come to deliver and sell products are dwarves——!!!”
The city owner was stunned: "Who are you talking about?!!"
The captain of the city guard said: "Dwarf! Third Young Master Jiang said, if you let in, you will enter, if you don't enter, you will cancel the transaction!!!"
"Wait, wait, wait!" The city lord felt that his head was not enough, "Wait... I'll ask about the situation."
The city lord asked the secretary to go to the s base to ask about the situation. After a while, the secretary came back and sent a message: "S base said, according to the content of the contract, if you don't agree to 'sale at the original price', you can also terminate the contract and choose the second purchase plan, but choose There is only one right, if you give up both at the same time, the s base will completely terminate the product cooperation because of your dishonesty."
This makes it seem that there is still room for change in the way of buying, and the buying and selling are also reasonable.Thinking of the limited quantity and doubled price of the second type, the unprepared city owner almost fainted!At first, I thought it was luck to be delivered first, but only then did I realize that it was really bad luck!The city lord snorted coldly in his heart, it turns out that the S base is waiting here!
The person who takes the first step is always the one who needs the most courage. After hesitating again and again, the city lord finally gritted his teeth and said viciously to the captain of the guard: "...Let! He! They! Come in! Go!"
Therefore, after experiencing many exclusions, the dwarf finally stepped into other bases except the S base openly.
