Chapter 290

Mu Bai called his mother and told his mother that he had a social event in the evening. After sending Mu Lan home, he found a small specialty restaurant and asked for a small private room.

It was after eight o'clock in the evening that the old horse drove over.

As soon as he entered, Mu Bai felt his frustration.

Mu Bai smiled and asked Ma Jingping to sit down: "It's been a long time since I had a meal and chatted."

Ma Jingping forced a smile: "Yes."

Mu Bai said to the waiter at the door: "Serve the food!"

The dishes have been prepared long ago, Mu Bai doesn't want much, three dishes and one soup, but this restaurant's portions are quite enough, not to mention two people, three people are enough.

Mu Bai asked Lao Ma: "Whether you drink beer or white?"

"It's white."

"I won't drink white wine with you. I drank white wine yesterday, and now my stomach still feels uncomfortable. Let me drink beer. A bottle is better than a glass."

While talking, Mu Bai opened a bottle of white wine, poured a glass for Ma Jingping, and poured himself a glass of cold beer.

"Come on!" Mu Bai drank a glass of beer, and before he put down the glass, he found that the old horse had finished half of the glass of baijiu in one go.

Mu Bai is now sure that something has happened to the old horse, and there seems to be nowhere to talk at home: "Eat mouthfuls, eat mouthfuls, try this soup, this is the famous river fresh soup in Pinghai Prefecture, Drink a bowl first and then drink."

While talking, Mu Bai hurriedly served Ma Jingping a bowl of soup. According to Ma Jingping's drinking method, he would have to spit out gallbladder in a while!

Ma Jingping drank half a bowl of soup, and suddenly said: "Brother, we are also friends, right?"

"Of course it's a friend. When "The Record of King Xiangyun" was released before, my brother helped a lot. I will always remember this kindness."

Ma Jingping waved his hand: "I didn't help you much either."

"Who said it won't help!" Mu Bai smiled and said, "Guofeng Studio is now cooperating more and more extensively with Liu Zongqi."

Ma Jingping sighed and continued to drink soup.

Mu Bai tentatively asked: "Did brother encounter any difficulties?"

"It's not that I have encountered any difficulties." Ma Jingping said with a miserable face, "It's Hongyu who is about to be destroyed by his own people. My heart aches!"

"Because of this year's moon cake packaging?" Mu Bai was a little puzzled: "It's not, it's just that this year's sales are not very good, can it drag Hongyu down?"

Ma Jingping shook his head: "It's not the mooncake sales problem, but the company's managers have a problem."

After speaking, the old horse picked up the wine glass and drank the remaining half of the glass with a straight neck.

Mu Bai poured it for the old horse, drank a glass of wine himself, and then waited for the old horse to continue talking.

The first glass of wine was drunk too quickly, and Ma Jingping soon became a little drunk: "I have always suggested that the Mid-Autumn Festival should focus on the theme of reunion.

"But Lao Yu, oh, is the director of Hongyu. Lao Yu has been dazzled by the Lantern Festival sale at the beginning of the year, thinking that the theme of 'Looking forward to reunion' is the company's good medicine.

"As you can see, the sales of mooncakes are not [-]% of what they were in previous years!"

Speaking of this, the old horse wanted to get the wine glass again, but Mu Bai got up and grabbed his hand: "Eat some food first, then drink."

Ma Jingping nodded and took a few bites of the food.

Mu Bai waited for the old horse to put down his chopsticks before asking: "Didn't you say that Hongyu already has a countermeasure?"

"Yes," Ma Jingping said with a sad laugh: "There is a countermeasure, and the countermeasure is to let me take the blame! I resigned from my position as the advertising manager in a fit of anger, and now I, the 'big sinner,' am at home."

Mu Bai was taken aback for a moment, it seemed that Hongyu's director was really sick.No wonder Lao Ma was at home when four o'clock came, so he didn't go to work directly!

Thinking of this, Mu Bai's eyes suddenly lit up!This is a good time to dig a wall!

Ma Jingping has been paying attention to Mu Bai's reaction. These days, he often finds friends to go out for drinks, but when his friends know that he has resigned from Hongyu, their attitude towards him has more or less changed.

It's not that he's too sensitive, it's that he's been in the mall for so long, and he can easily guess what other people are thinking through some subtle expressions.

Although those friends could not tell anything on the surface, Ma Jingping could feel that their attitudes had changed.

Before, Ma Jingping never thought that his identity as the manager of the advertising department was so important. He didn't think much of it when he had this position, and he would only discover the other side of some friends when he was gone.

So Ma Jingping has been paying attention to Mu Bai's reaction, now is a good opportunity to distinguish between real friends and fake friends!
Mu Bai's expression was a little surprised at first, which is easy to understand, but then Mu Bai's eyes lit up, and he was a little excited, why is that?

Just when Ma Jingping was puzzled by Mu Bai's reaction, Mu Bai smiled and said, "If you resign, then resign, it's not a big deal!"

Mu Bai took a sip of beer and said with a smile: "My brother's ability is beyond doubt. Although he is the manager of the advertising department, he has a keen eye and a good analysis of the market. He also knows so many friends. Some connections!
"And when you should be mature and prudent, you should be prudent, and when you should be aggressive, you should be aggressive. I always feel that my brother is inferior to Hongyu."

Although Ma Jingping didn't know why Mu Bai reacted excitedly and so on, at least the other party's attitude towards him didn't change like alienation because he was no longer the manager.

He sighed: "I watched Hongyu grow up, and I have deep feelings for Hongyu. I thought I could dedicate my life to Hongyu, but Hongyu's director didn't give me this opportunity at all."

At this time, Ma Jingping recalled the hypocritical smiling face when Director Yu let him take the blame, and the various benefits he promised to himself.

Ma Jingping knew Director Yu too well, he knew that his mistake was in the wrong, and he kept persuading Director Yu not to use the theme of "Looking forward to reunion" as most of the packaging of mooncakes.

If he didn't say a word about it and made mistakes, then Director Yu might not necessarily find him.

He has always been against director yu, which made director yu want to get rid of himself and hurry up.

There is no right or wrong in the adult world, only the result.

As for the benefits promised by Director Yu, Ma Jingping sneered in his heart, as long as he confessed to the scapegoat, Director Yu would use sharper methods to deal with him.

Ma Jingping said with emotion: "Right now, Hongyu doesn't even have the basic sense of right and wrong, and there are many companies with bigger farts, and there are internal frictions between you and me all day long.

"Everything in the company's operations is about to rise to the level of ideology, and the atmosphere is a mess. From top to bottom, there has long been no pragmatic mentality."

Although there are a lot of problems, Ma Jingping still has feelings for Hongyu and has been doing his best to change the company's current situation.

But now, all the goals he had fought for were in vain.

Mu Bai smiled and said, "Brother, do you know the latest developments of Guofeng?"

Ma Jingping finished the soup in the bowl: "Anyway, I am also half of your fan. I often go to Guofeng.com, and Guofeng Studio has brought me many surprises.

"Live broadcasts, comics and novels serialized on the Internet are all very innovative marketing methods.

"To be honest, the last time I went to the studio to talk to you about the original artwork for the advertisement, I never expected that the studio would grow to its current scale in just half a year."

Mu Bai took a sip before saying: "I'm actually not good at marketing at all, you just look at these novel marketing methods, just borrowing the wisdom of others.

"In fact, I have no idea how to operate in the next step. There is a special lack of managers with vision and ability around me."

He changed his tone and said: "The business you see on Guofeng.com is only one aspect. With the song "Chengdu", I have already opened up the Qin country's market.

"As long as the personnel problem is solved, a new company will be established in Chengdukou immediately.

"The movie produced by the studio will also be released at the end of the year, and the studio will produce a new game in the second half of the year. By next year, I estimate that Guofeng Studio will be among the top studios."

Having said that, Ma Jingping finally understood what Mu Bai meant. He first expressed his thirst for talents, and then talked about the future prospects of the studio. This is clearly to recruit himself!

Mu Bai felt that he had almost laid the groundwork before he said: "So I hope brother can come and help me.

"I can assure you that Guofeng Studio is a pragmatic unit, and there will be no situation where black and white are turned upside down because of power struggles!

"In addition, as soon as you come to the studio, after getting acquainted with the working environment in the studio, immediately go to open up the Qin country market! When you encounter major matters such as the direction of expansion, you can consult with me, and you have the final say on small business matters."

The conditions offered by Mu Bai are still very attractive, it is equivalent to giving Ma Jingping the right to be a "big border official" right from the start.

But Ma Jingping immediately calmed down again: "Hey, I'm over 40 this year, I don't have much drive, and I may not be able to keep up with your pace!"

"My management team is missing someone who is mature and prudent." Mu Bai smiled and said, "It's best if I can come. It doesn't matter if I don't come. We will still be friends."

Ma Jingping nodded: "I'll think about it."

"Well, bro, don't have a psychological burden. Don't think that you will be looked down upon by working for college students." Mu Bai continued to persuade:
"In the future, I will definitely be able to enter the Hongwen Museum. At that time, Guofeng Studio will be the property of a bachelor, or even a national scholar."

Ma Jingping did have concerns in this regard, and when Mu Bai said so, he thought it was really the case.

It's no secret that Mu Bai already has the opportunity to recruit special students. I believe that with Mu Bai's level, being a bachelor or something should be easy.

Working in a bachelor's industry, the salary may not be very high, but if you say it, you will definitely have a good reputation.

Both of them are very measured people, so this topic will stop here.

After that, Ma Jingping started to talk about the interesting things about Hongyu when it was founded, and Mu Bai would also talk about some embarrassing things when he was in school.

The meal lasted until after eleven o'clock in the evening, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Ma Jingping drank a lot today, Mu Bai found him a hotel to stay, and then took a taxi home.

The mother and younger sister were still awake, Xiang Hanxue looked at Mu Bai's drunken appearance, and said helplessly, "I drank so much again!"

Mu Bai took out the cold water bottle from the refrigerator: "A friend encountered some trouble recently, and I enlightened him."

Xiang Hanxue poured Mu Bai a cup of hot water: "Don't drink such cold water, it hurts your stomach."

Mu Bai sat on the dining chair and took a sip of hot water: "Tomorrow I will find a moving company to move, and we will move into the new house before school starts."

"Maybe not the day after tomorrow." Xiang Hanxue said, "The day after tomorrow is the weekend, and I will move when I rest, lest you leave anything behind."

"Tomorrow is enough to finish the move." Mu Bai said with a smile: "You will have to finish the day after tomorrow."

Xiang Hanxue thought about it, and agreed.

When the moving company arrived at home the next day, Mu Bai hadn't gotten up yet, so Mu Lan went to entertain them first.

When Mu Bai got up and washed his face, the staff had already moved the broken sofa and coffee table from the living room.

Mu Bai said to Mulan: "Except for those things that you think about, we will clean up the useful things separately, and throw away the useless things!

"Especially my mother's plastic bags, some of which are seven or eight years old and may not be used anymore. The watch in the living room must be kept. It is said that my mother's dowry at that time could be put in the basement.

"Trouble a few masters to buy [-] large storage boxes, put the contents of the furniture in the storage boxes first, and then move them after they are emptied."

But the mover said: "We have brought a rope, so there is no need to bother. Once you tie the drawer, the things inside will not fall out."

"Let's just listen to me." Mu Bai smiled and said, "I don't plan to take any of these furniture."

The mover didn't say anything, and took the money given by Mu Bai to buy a packing box.

Mu Lan reminded his elder brother: "My mother must be crazy when she finds out that you have sold these furniture at night!"

"Let's talk about it at night." Mu Bai said: "Why do you think I want to move when my mother is not at home?"

Then he threatened: "If you dare to call your mother to complain, you will have no pocket money next month! Go and pack your clothes! When the packing box arrives, pack your clothes first."

In fact, the work of moving is a bit trivial. The Mu Bai brothers and sisters, plus three moving workers, can basically tidy up in one morning.

Mu Bai first followed the moving company's truck and sold all the beds, tables and other things.

When buying the refrigerator, Mu Bai was somewhat reluctant to part with it. After all, it had been with him for so many years, so he took it back and put it in the basement. Later, he would paint a picture on the outside of the refrigerator and use it as a cabinet.

As for the TV set, it was already too worn out, and Mu Bai sold it all in one go.

On the way back, Mu Bai suddenly found that his feelings for the refrigerator and the TV were still different.

Refrigerators mean food, and TV is just entertainment. Subconsciously, it is easier to develop feelings for food-related items.

When he got home, facing the empty room, Mu Bai was still a little uncomfortable.

I have lived here for so many years, and I am a little bit sad to leave suddenly for a while.

After lunch, when everyone was moving down the packing boxes, Mulan cried because of her reluctance.

Mu Bai didn't feel very well, but he still comforted his sister and said, "Why are you crying? When you come back, this place will look brand new."

Mulan wiped her tears: "I don't know why I cry, I always feel that some things will never be found when they disappear."

"It's quite artistic," Mu Bai sighed, "Isn't life just spent throwing away precious things?"
