Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2027 They All Have Some Background

Ever since Bian Mu could remember, all the household affairs, big and small, were decided by his mother. In the future, the first house Bian Mu buys in Lijin City will definitely be given to his parents as a way of fulfilling his filial duty. The name of the household owner will definitely be his mother's.

However, to this day, Bian Mu believes that she doesn't really know her mother very well.

When he was little, Bian Mu was playful and spent all his time swimming in the river like a fish. Even when there was a strong wind or heavy rain, he would not stop. Occasionally, he would catch a cold and get a fever. His mother would stay up late at night to watch over him until the roosters crowed, the dogs barked, and it was bright daylight before she would take a short nap.

At that time, Bian Mu felt that her mother was truly her mother.

What boy isn't mischievous? Bian Mu was naturally very smart and quite daring. He even learned some kung fu from his grandfather, and occasionally he would get into trouble. When teachers or parents came to the house, his mother would often grab whatever was at hand and start beating him without asking any questions. Looking back now, she really went all out!
Once, Bian Mu remembered it was when he was in the second year of junior high school. He didn't remember exactly how he got into trouble, but his mother, in a fit of anger, kicked the mop handle in two and chased him down the street with the mop handle in her hand. The neighbors had to pull him away and drag him down to finally calm things down. When they looked at the mop handle, it was already less than the length of a small rolling pin...

At that time, Bian Mu felt that his mother was really cruel! He even doubted whether he was her biological son.

Sometimes close, sometimes distant, there was always a sense of distance between Bian Mu and his mother, especially after he moved to the city to seek personal development. This sense of distance increased further and then evolved into a kind of estrangement.

Sometimes, Bian Mu felt that his mother and grandfather had a lot of things hidden in their "liver spirit" layer. He guessed in private that his father probably knew almost nothing about it, and his mother probably wouldn't tell anyone a word about it, as she was very good at keeping things to herself.

however……

If something gets stuck in the various levels of the "liver spirit" for a long time and there's no way to resolve it, it will most likely cause trouble in the future. For this reason, Bian Mu has always been very worried about his mother's health.

In Bian Mu's opinion, if it weren't for the fact that his "liver god" always liked to hide things, his grandfather could have lived at least another 10 years.

Nowadays, Bian Mu is always careful when dealing with his mother, just wanting her to live a more comfortable life. The pent-up frustration in his heart has finally dissipated, and he is willing to compromise as long as it doesn't involve matters of principle.

Suddenly, her mother seemed to be interfering with the clinic's finances, and Bian Mu immediately became alert.

Over the phone, Bian Mu gave a brief explanation of how Nurse Ye and Accountant Yu usually manage their finances.

“Our business is privately owned, so we need to rely on family members to manage the accounts; we can’t trust outsiders!” Okay! My mom started laying the groundwork on the other end of the phone.

"what do you mean……"

"Your cousin, Amei, is temporarily managing the accounts at a construction company. She's been looking for a more stable finance position, so why don't you let her go and help you with the books? It's much better than having someone else do it!"

"Mom! I remember... back then when Dad was hospitalized due to a work injury, there was a shortage of beds. Not only did Sister Mei and the others not help, they didn't even visit Dad at home! You've forgotten all that?"

"Hey! That happened so many years ago, why bring it up again! Besides, isn't your aunt a relative of Mom's side? She's a different family from your dad, maybe they were just riding horses back then! Don't be so petty, we just had lunch together, and your dad was all smiles and didn't say anything! Don't be so narrow-minded, you're going to do great things in the future."

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu immediately felt that the conversation could not continue.

"With this arrangement, how much do you plan to pay her per month?" Bian Mu asked a very practical question over the phone.

"Those who work in finance and accounting have to keep an eye on both ends; it has to be at least a round number!"

"1?!" "Wow! Two jobs! That's only a little over 5000 on average, not much!"

"Mom! That's not how you calculate things. Besides, Sister Mei's personality is completely different from mine. Rather than falling out in the future, it's better not to get involved in each other from the start! What did Dad say?"

"What can your dad say! It's their own money, they can keep an eye on it themselves!"

"She's on our side?! You're the only one who'd believe that! Financial matters have a time window, and besides, we're doing highly AI-powered financial management now. I remember Sister Mei is more than ten years older than me, right?! She's been working in small companies for years, she's at most a skilled computerized accountant. I'm afraid she won't be very comfortable here!" Mu couldn't possibly agree with that.

This time, Mom was just being reckless!
"That's alright, let her go and adapt for a few months first. Amei is very smart, she'll learn quickly!"

"You haven't already agreed to their request, have you?!" Bian Mu quickly confirmed over the phone.

"No, that's not true. Amei just rented out the house in Nanjin. She needs to rent a place first to come to our clinic to help you with the accounts! But... I told them there's no problem in principle!"

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu's heart sank.

It's not worth upsetting Mom over such a small matter, but... how could we let someone as snobbish as Amei manage the finances?!
For a moment, Bian Mu was at a loss for what to do.

"Hello! Hello! Is the signal bad? Did your connection drop?!" Hearing that Bian Mu was silent on the other end of the phone, Bian's mother mistakenly thought that the signal had weakened and quickly asked a few questions to confirm.

“I’m listening… Mom! There are some things I didn’t say because I was afraid you’d worry if you knew. Actually… besides the clinic, I also run a small business selling traditional Chinese medicine. If Accountant Yu fires me, the pharmaceutical company might turn their backs on me! According to the contract… your son might have to pay millions in damages!”

"Huh?! You're getting more and more ambitious these days! So... are they making money or losing money over there?!"

"It's alright, there's some profit to be made, so far it's been normal."

"You brat! You've always been full of tricks! You haven't learned anything good from your grandpa! If something like this happens again, don't hide it from the family, understand?"

"How could that be! Just this once! Besides, that Nurse Ye isn't an ordinary nurse; she has connections. She and I are legitimate business partners. Otherwise, with our family's resources, how could we open two traditional Chinese medicine clinics in Lijin City all at once?! Mom! Those aren't small clinics! If we fire her, that old man surnamed Huang behind her will definitely be unhappy. If half of the doctors, nurses, and pharmacists at both clinics leave, how will our clinics continue to operate?!" Helpless, Bian Mu had to make up a little story on the spot, otherwise, her promising future might soon be ruined by her mother.

"No wonder your dad said to call and ask you first... How old are you? Not even thirty yet, how did you suddenly get promoted to the level of a traditional Chinese medicine clinic! Our relatives and friends still don't quite believe it! There's so much going on behind the scenes! Luckily I didn't say anything definitive... Well, never mind, Amei has two kids to take care of, school is enough of a headache for them, so let's just forget it, it's almost the end of the year! Let's talk about it after the Spring Festival next year!"

"You're so wise! It's getting late, you should get some rest. My sister is much more well-behaved than before, but her grades are still at the bottom of the class. I'll keep an eye on her from now on!"

"It's okay if you're a girl! Just make sure you get your graduation certificate and degree! You'll have everything if you marry well in the future. Don't overwork yourself. If you're a boss, you have to act like one. You can delegate many things to your subordinates. There's no need to do everything yourself."

"understood!"

"That's all, I'm hanging up!" With that, Bian's mother hung up the phone.

Bian Mu tossed his phone onto the table and let out a long sigh of relief.

Having narrowly escaped disaster, Bian Mu felt she needed to do something in advance to prevent her mother from causing any further trouble.
