1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 458 I want to go back to my country too!
Tokyo.

A hot spring hotel.

Following a faint mournful cry, the house gradually returned to calm.

"You bastard, can't you change your habits... You go crazy every morning... Tell me the truth, do you just want to embarrass me in front of others!?"

Miss Mu curled up weakly and delicately in Yang Mo's arms, glaring at her man with gritted teeth.

Yang Mo looked at the jade-like shoulders in front of him with a bit of intoxication, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This deadly goblin!

It has been more than three months since they got engaged and got married.

After more than a hundred days of close contact, he was very familiar with this delicate body.

But even so, every time he was enjoying himself, he would still feel an irresistible desire.

I have to say, the sharp contrast between a young lady who is reserved and proud in front of outsiders, and then showing a reluctant attitude in front of you and finally letting you have whatever you want, is enough to make any man unable to extricate himself.

This kind of spiritual satisfaction alone is enough to make people intoxicated, not to mention that the beauty next to him is a first-class beauty with inner charm?
Feeling the trembling after the afterglow from the beauty's body, Yang Mo admired the blush all over her pretty face with a sly smile: "What do you mean I want you to embarrass yourself in front of outsiders? Who can resist holding such a beautiful wife in my arms!"

"Besides, we just got married. This trip to the island country is half for work and half for a honeymoon... Isn't it natural for a newlywed couple to indulge themselves on their honeymoon? How dare anyone laugh at you?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Mu bit Yang Mo to vent her anger, and then snorted in annoyance.

She had a sensitive physique, and every time Yang Mo played a trick on her, the blush on her face would take a long time to go away. Therefore, she was thin-skinned and was most afraid that her man would do something naughty to her early in the morning.

But there was nothing she could do about it. They were already married, and it was only natural for her man to torture her in any way he wanted... Besides, it was normal for Yang Mo to indulge in some pleasure in their newlywed years. If he lost interest in her body right after getting married, then she would be worried.

I turned my head to look at the watch next to the pillow. It was 7:05, and there were still 55 minutes before I had to start work.

Enduring the soreness in her body, Miss Mu patted the big hand that was playing tricks on her and climbed up from the floor with some difficulty.

"You go to sleep first. I'll go wash up and take a hot spring bath... I'm all covered in your sweat. It's so disgusting!"

Miss Mu put on her bathrobe with some difficulty. She caught a glimpse of the red marks on her slender waist and could not help wrinkling her nose and pouting slightly, as if blaming her man for not being gentle enough.

Seeing this, Yang Mo couldn't help but chuckled, then he threw off the quilt and sat up: "I'm not sleepy anyway, let's just take a hot spring bath together!"

The room he and Miss Mu lived in could be considered VVIP level. Not only was there a large courtyard outside, but there was also a very private small hot spring room next to the living room, so there was no need to worry about exposure or the like.

Miss Mu was startled when she saw this. She knew what would happen if she took a bath with her man. She put her two hands on Yang Mo's chest and pushed him back: "You just returned to Tokyo after one o'clock last night, sleep a little longer... Also, I have a lot of things to do during this period, and I have a very important meeting to attend later... Please give me some face!"

The last sentence was almost spoken with gritted teeth, and the tone was full of anger and pleading.

This is true. Although products such as Chansu Pills, Deer Horn Facial Cream, and Mohua Jinlu have already started to get on track, there are more than a hundred brands going overseas. With the initial capital not so abundant, not all products have become famous.
Therefore, a series of market launch work, including the adjustment of marketing strategies, value re-refinement, channel secondary planning, leverage bundling, business resource docking, and communication strategies for these products, all need to be led and controlled by Miss Mu;
It can be said that Miss Mu's work intensity today is more than twice as high as when she was in China. Even when Yang Mo came back last night, she was still working overtime in the house.

Such a high intensity of work naturally requires sufficient energy to support it. Miss Mu, who was exhausted all over by her man early in the morning, how could she dare to give Yang Mo another chance to do something bad?
Feeling the determination in Miss Mu's attitude, Yang Mo sighed regretfully: "What a pity, I was originally thinking of spending some time together while there is still some time before returning home, but since you said so... well, then go take a bath quickly!"

Miss Mu felt very sorry when she heard this. She took the initiative to hug Yang Mo and pressed her body against his chest: "I'm sorry, I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a wife, but I can't help it. This period of time is really too critical... When I return, I will definitely make it up to you."

Unlike her situation, it was impossible for Yang Mo to stay in the island country for too long.

Logically speaking, Yang Mo should have returned to China with the visiting delegation after the three-day Sino-Japanese Cultural Festival. However, he later had to deal with some matters in Yokohama in the name of a meeting with overseas Chinese, so his return was delayed for another ten days.

But this is already the limit, so as soon as things over there were finished, Yang Mo immediately asked someone to book a return flight for this afternoon. In other words, after this morning, the couple would not be able to see each other again until at least a month later... Of course, one month is just an approximate number. How long it will take Miss Mu to return home depends entirely on how long it takes her to successfully complete the market launch work on the island country.

They were newlyweds and rushed to the island country without even a single day of honeymoon leave. Then, after working terribly for half a month, they had to separate in a hurry. They even failed to fulfill their responsibilities as a wife. It would be a lie to say that Miss Mu didn't feel any guilt.

Hearing this, Yang Mo smiled and said, "It's okay. Work is important. We are not children who only know how to be affectionate... Your man still understands the most basic mutual understanding."

Upon hearing this, Miss Mu felt even more guilty, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't tell why.

She glanced at the sky and saw that it was getting brighter. Without giving her man any time to think, she gave him a passionate kiss and hurried into the hot spring room.

………………

Only after Miss Mu left did Yang Mo get up.

After washing up, I took a small bath in the hot spring.

After eating a breakfast with a table full of Gu dishes, but the actual portion was just enough to make an adult man only 60% full;
After packing my clothes and luggage with extremely low efficiency, it was already half past ten in the morning.

After checking his watch and finding that there were still four hours until his flight, Yang Mo walked somewhat boredly to the deserted courtyard.

Classmate Tugou returned home the night after the Sino-Japanese Cultural Festival ended. Comrade Bao Shuxian is now Miss Mu's right-hand man and is busy every day. Therefore, Yang Mo didn't even have anyone to chat with to kill time.

Fortunately, Yang Mo, who is a stay-at-home at heart, is not a person who likes crowds. Therefore, even though he is standing alone in the yard, he does not have any sad thoughts. He just leans against the beam in the aisle with half-closed eyes, enjoying the changes in his body caused by the autumn sun.

"Ding-dong~ding-dong~"

Just as Yang Mo was gradually entering a somewhat trance-like state, the doorbell rang in the house, which was strongly inconsistent with the wooden architectural style.

He got up and walked into the house, then crossed the small corridor, opened the door and saw that it was a certain Peach.

Yang Mo looked at Zhuo Mali, who was wearing a black work suit, with some surprise: "Sister Zhuo, why are you here?"

As the person with the most extensive experience in publicity work in Dahua Company, although Zhuo Mali is not Miss Mu's subordinate, nor is she the person in charge of foreign trade, she has taken on the responsibility of managing the publicity work of this trip to the island country, and can be regarded as one of Miss Mu's three major helpers in Tokyo.

As we all know, publicity is a tiring job that cannot be stopped at any time and in any place, not to mention that there are hundreds of brands involved in this overseas expansion?

Therefore, it was somewhat unreasonable for Zhuo Mali, who was the top person in charge of publicity for this trip and should have been busy as a dizzy person, to appear in front of Yang Mo at this time.

"Brother, I am not a man-eating tiger. Are you just blocking people outside like this?"

Seeing Yang Mo looking her up and down in surprise, Zhuo Mali smiled charmingly, speaking in dirty words as usual: "Don't worry, Sister Mu has been invited to lead a team to the Tokyo Benxu Chamber of Commerce for an inspection, and she won't be back for a while. Don't say that you and I don't have anything. Even if there is something, you don't have to worry about your sister-in-law running back to catch you!"

Seeing that this peach still had the same attitude of not discerning between meat and vegetables, Yang Mo's forehead darkened. He finally made way, welcomed the person into the house, and then brought him to the courtyard.

"Sister Zhuo, I am now a married man, so I dare not joke with you like this... I am just curious. Isn't it said that things in Tokyo are very busy? How come you still have time to come and see me off, Sister Zhuo?"

Yang Mo took the glass of water and handed it over, then explained with a smile.

In his opinion, Zhuomali must have known that he was leaving this afternoon, so she came over to pull the waiter before leaving as a farewell.

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Mali just smiled and did not answer directly: "Brother, I would like to ask you a question... Are you really not going to intervene in the affairs of the island country?"

Yang Mo frowned slightly, as if he was somewhat displeased with Zhuo Mali's question that lacked a sense of boundaries: "Sister Zhuo, Dahua Company has a lot of business, and I can't be comprehensive. As long as the task can be completed as planned, it doesn't matter who is in charge of the business on the island side... In fact, Dahua Company lacks independent talents. The company does not mind providing some opportunities and platforms for those potential cadres to show their talents without affecting its own strategic pace."

These words, which had a strong official flavor, answered nothing, yet answered everything.

Zhuo Mali had expected this answer a long time ago, and did not ask any more questions. She just nodded with a smile and said, "That's right. Dahua Company is getting bigger and bigger. We can't always rely on you for everything."

As she said that, she changed the subject: "So, sister, I came here this time to ask you for your advice... I plan to go back to China with you today!"

! ! ? ?
This unexpected turn of events really surprised Yang Mo: "Return to China together? Sister Zhuo, after you go back, what will happen to the publicity work here?"

Zhuo Mali seemed to appreciate the rare surprise on Yang Mo's face. After a chuckle, her face suddenly straightened: "Brother, look at your expression... Why can't I go back?" "If I remember correctly, I don't seem to be a cadre in the foreign trade department of Dahua Company. Before I came to the island country, the organization only decided to make me an accompanying member of the cultural exchange group, but did not appoint me as the person in charge of publicity work in the brand overseas working group, right?"

These words immediately stumped Yang Mo.

Indeed, Zhuomali is not the person in charge of publicity for the brand's overseas expansion, nor is she even a member of the brand's overseas expansion working group.

In fact, her name could not possibly appear on the working group's list. She was the director of Dahua Company's Legal and Compliance Department, and her rank was the same as Miss Mu's. If her name appeared on the group's list, it would be equivalent to demoting her without a legitimate reason, which was too insulting.

Therefore, when Bao Shuxian came to ask for help, the words she used were "Please ask Minister Zhuo to help guide and coordinate the work." Even though she was the de facto person in charge of publicity and promotion later, Miss Mu never arranged an official temporary position for her.

Of course, she, as the director of the Legal and Compliance Department, appeared on the list of this exchange group. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yang Mo kept it as a backup just in case. And considering the other party's identity as a companion on board, there was nothing wrong with Yang Mo's arrangement. But one thing is for sure, since the other party is essentially here to help, it is logically impossible for you to go against their personal wishes.

Frowning, Yang Mo looked at Zhuo Mali and said, "Sister Zhuo, you are doing a good job, aren't you? This brand overseas expansion plan is of great significance, and the economic benefits that can be generated in the short and medium term are a number that may be beyond everyone's expectations... Don't you regret giving up such an opportunity to achieve such results?"

Unlike ordinary propaganda cadres, Zhuo Mali is also the director of the Legal and Compliance Department. As early as a few months ago, she began to help Yang Mo to do equity design for a number of overseas brand manufacturing companies and affiliated companies. Anyone who does equity design will understand the tricks in these actions after seeing the chaotic cross-holding model and debt-equity structure.

And when Yang Mo and a number of island companies have established a framework for in-depth cooperation based on these overseas brands, those who are responsible for the early equity design should be fired if they still don't understand what he is planning.

Is Zhuomali a stupid person?

Obviously not.

Therefore, it seems a bit unreasonable to watch such an opportunity that could allow him to shine in a series of important positions and instead ask for permission to return home.

Catching the scrutiny in Yang Mo's eyes, Zhuo Mali finally put away her smile and sighed softly: "Brother, I'm sure you know the situation of our Zhuo family. To be frank, there is probably no one in Dahua Company who hopes to achieve something more than me."

After frankly pointing out the Zhuo family's lack of stamina, Zhuo Mali looked at Yang Mo seriously and said, "But, let's be frank. If this package of things in Tokyo is something you are responsible for, then I will do my best to serve you. But unfortunately, this is just a shelf you set up for your little wife... So there is no way, I can only reluctantly give it up."

At this point, as if afraid that Yang Mo might misunderstand something, Zhuo Mali added: "But you don't have to worry, brother. The Mu family has no shortage of publicity talents under their command. At least Bao Shuxian, who has a good relationship with you, is a promising talent and can quickly get started in all aspects. The reason why they had to drag me down in the beginning was simply because of their lack of experience and confidence. Now I have brought everyone I should bring with me and set up the framework I should set up. Even if I return to China, nothing should go wrong."

Yang Mo did not doubt the truth of this statement. State-owned enterprises have never lacked talented young people. What they lack is a master to lead them on the road and an opportunity for them to display their talents. The reason why he and Miss Mu did not hesitate to include Bao Shuxian's name in the list of the brand overseas working group was not entirely because of their personal relationship, but because this guy was indeed a very promising talent in publicity.

Hearing that there shouldn't be any major problems with the subsequent publicity work, Yang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows furrowed even deeper: "Why?"

Zhuo Mali naturally knew what he was asking, and found that Yang Mo didn't look angry at all, so she chuckled again: "The reason is very simple, I'm on your brother's ship, not the eldest sister of the Mu family's ship. Since this matter is not presided over by you, then I will naturally step down and let you take over!"

At first glance, this sounds like just an ordinary flattery to show loyalty, but the meaning behind it is indeed very profound.

At the very least, this peach did not equate Yang Mo with Mu Liya.

Yang Mo naturally understood what she meant. He hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Why?"

Zhuo Mali chuckled, showing off her mature charm to the fullest: "It's very simple, because the eldest sister of the Mu family and I are both from the Dongying compound. We can figure out how far she can go by just pinching and calculating. We can also roughly figure out how much meat we can eat by just looking around her."

At this point, Zhuo Mali lazily placed her hands under her cheeks, but her eyes showed a hint of undisguised ambition: "But I can't tell how far you can go, brother; I can't calculate how much benefit I can get by following you... Especially during this trip to the island country, you used Moyazhai and a number of carefully designed overseas brands as bait without hesitation, and I am more convinced of this."

It was no wonder that Zhuo Mali said that she could not see how far Yang Mo would go. She originally thought that Yang Mo asked her to design the equity of those overseas brands in order to prevent these brands from being eaten up by local crocodiles after entering the island market.

However, after arriving in the island country, she realized that these overseas brands were just baits, and the other party had created a lot of thin lines out of nothing under her nose, not only tying several large pharmaceutical companies to Dahua, but also restricting them in turn... This is just the beginning. With the establishment of the China-Japan Economic Promotion Association, which has the nature of an alliance, and the beginning of the integration of some businesses, she really doesn't know what the relationship between the two sides will be like in the future.

The thirty-year information gap between them resulted in their perspectives and thinking dimensions being completely on the same level. While the little brother in front of her became more and more unfathomable in her heart, she also became more and more convinced that by following Yang Mo, she could gain more and greater benefits.

Yang Mo was a little surprised that Zhuo Mali had revealed her thoughts without hiding anything, but he sneered at the moment: "Xiao Ya and I are husband and wife, don't you understand the principle of husband and wife being one? Since you are already on board, you shouldn't be picky. Our interests are the same. There is no difference between staying in Tokyo to help and returning to China to handle the work of Dahua Company!"

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Mali did not show any fear at all. She just looked at Yang Mo with amusement: "Oh? Brother, is there really no difference?"

Just when Yang Mo frowned and wanted to give this overthinking woman a good beating...

Zhuo Mali sighed softly, "Brother, you should know that in state-owned enterprises, it is taboo to be particularly conspicuous in a very specific detail of work... Especially for a job like propaganda that is neither high nor low."

Yang Mo was stunned for a moment, and the words he was about to say stopped in his mouth.

Indeed, whether in state-owned enterprises or large private enterprises, it is very taboo to perform particularly well in some not-so-important abilities.

This is the same "material pit" that Yang Mo stepped into in his previous life... Since you are good at writing materials, just keep writing materials, and put the matter of job change and promotion on hold for the time being.

Unfortunately, publicity and promotion is not a very important but necessary skill for Chinese companies today... There is no way, this is an era that believes in "good wine needs no bush", and the thinking of most corporate managers has not changed.

It's just that other companies are other companies and Dahua Company is Dahua Company. Although Dahua Company has not invested too much money in publicity for various reasons, people around Yang Mo are very clear about how much importance she attaches to this work. Moreover, Zhuo Mali has proved the importance of publicity work through the turnaround of DZ City. So why would she bring up this matter specifically?

After carefully examining Yang Mo's eyes and realizing that he was indeed somewhat confused, Zhuo Mali could not help but smile bitterly.

This little brother's abilities in other aspects are top-notch, and even his intelligence is far ahead of his peers, but...

Men are men after all. It's okay to let them formulate big strategies, and it's okay to let them grasp the core points of important links. But if you ask them to catch some delicate little traps, I'm afraid you are just daydreaming!
Thinking of this, Zhuo Mali hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't make certain things clear. She just spread her hands with a smile: "Brother, you have to know that there are hundreds of brands going overseas this time, and it is not ruled out that there will be new brands coming in later... There are so many products, each of which needs to be tailored with its own advertising strategy, and each product is so important. If I, as a minister, am the one who puts pressure on them and forms path dependence, how can I get out of it!"

Although Yang Mo could tell that this peach was not sincere, he did not delve into it. He just shook his head and said, "Sister Zhuo, you can't be so picky at work. I know you all want to achieve results quickly, and I know you all want to be independent, but... Dahua Company currently has only a few people with comprehensive abilities that meet the standards. If everyone only wants to be the project leader but is unwilling to step down and take charge of those important specific tasks, how can it work?"

As he spoke, Yang Mo's tone was a little admonishing: "In this regard, Yan Laoxi and Lao Sun are doing much better than you... Well, the situation at Xialiu Sales Agency is different from yours, Sister Zhuo. You will definitely not accept it if I compare them, so I will use Lao Song as an example;"

"You also understand Old Song's situation. Although the circumstances of the Song and Zhuo families are completely different, Old Song's desire to achieve results quickly is no less than that of Sister Zhuo;"

"But so what? Isn't Old Song still patiently immersed in the specific work? Did he leave for Southeast Asia with the Lin family last night to prepare for the short-term operation of gold futures?"

Zhuo Mali looked at the straight man in front of her in silence, resisting the urge to roll her eyes, and then said in a very measured tone: "Brother, Mr. Yang, Section Chief Yang, future Director Yang..."

"First of all, let me make it clear that Lao Song and I don't mind getting down to the specific work... If I were really that eager to achieve success, I wouldn't have worked so hard to handle all the publicity work in DZ City;"

"But please understand one thing, brother. The reason why I am not opposed to taking charge of those specific tasks is because I know very well that if I want to stay on the ship, I must first prove to you that I am qualified to board the ship, and the performance of those specific tasks is the first round of cabin tickets in our hands;"

"It's the same for me and Old Song."

"But if these tasks are not ordered by you as the helmsman, why should I hide in the engine room at the bottom of the ship where you can't see me and do the hard work?"

"You might as well ask Lao Song, if you didn't give him the gold futures job, would he take it?"

At this point, Zhuo Mali showed a trace of helplessness: "Brother, you have to understand that my sister, Lao Song, and I came on board because of you, the captain. You can't take some things for granted. You can't assign us to work with the first mate at will, even if you and the first mate are a couple... Do you understand the reasoning here?"

Looking at Zhuo Mali's hesitant expression, Yang Mo was a little stunned.

After thinking for a while, his brows frowned involuntarily again.

He roughly understood what the other party didn't say directly. Although from his point of view, this was complete nonsense, the two parties came from different family backgrounds, received different education since childhood, and had different ways of thinking on many things. Therefore, he couldn't just say that the other party was really wrong.

As a reborn person, he had seen too many weird things in the workplace in his previous life, and he knew that a forced melon would not be sweet.

Therefore, as long as it does not violate the principle, he is actually a person who respects personal wishes very much, so he just closed his eyes and thought quietly for a while, then nodded gently: "Since Sister Zhuo is unwilling to continue staying in Tokyo... let's do this, on the premise of making sure that it will not affect the subsequent publicity work here, communicate with Xiaoya, and then book tickets to return home together."

These words determined the cause and effect.

The implication is simple: I respect your personal wishes, but all this is done on the premise that it does not affect the brand's overseas advertising work;
If you insist on returning to China, I won't stop you; but after you return, if the subsequent publicity work in Tokyo causes any trouble because of your sudden departure, don't blame me for settling the score with you afterwards.

Zhuo Mali carefully looked at his expression and found that he did not look angry. She was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, I'll call the Mu family sister now... Don't worry, with the security supervisor there to support us, there won't be any major problems with the subsequent publicity work!"

Seeing this peach happily stand up and say goodbye, he ran back to his room to make a phone call.
Recalling the words that the other party had not said, Yang Mo's frown deepened unconsciously...
