Seeing that the belatedly enlightened Chairman Er Gou had come to his senses, Mu Naihua smiled at him, realizing that he had come to some understanding.
After all, President Er Gou's youthful beauty has been going on for almost half a century.
Immortality...
This is indeed a very attractive word for the vast majority of humans.
It is a super secret that is worth millions of people rushing to Linsheng City like moths to a flame.
"Then why did that person target me when he was clearly aiming for me? Why was he just squatting in the hospital?" asked President Er Gou.
“Dad’s health has always been poor, and he’s frequently in the hospital for treatment. This time, you upset him so much that he was hospitalized, and the treatment hasn’t been effective. Perhaps they think that as long as they can control the dosage and keep his condition from improving, we’ll eventually use some so-called immortality technology to save him, which is why they’re pretending to be in the hospital.” Munaihua said, then gave a self-deprecating laugh, “…But, what are they talking about?”
"Muxi kidnapped Muyu because she wanted to lure me and Xiaobai to the dock to help deal with the Deep Sea Ark."
"I am willing to accept any punishment for deceiving you all," Muna Hana said, bowing her head.
President Er Gou frowned and glanced at Xiao Bai.
"Don't give me face, little white girl, go after her!"
For Xiaobai, she hasn't actually encountered any major troubles in the past two days.
The Mu family welcomed Xiaobai with open arms, allowing Chairman Er Gou to run rampant in the factory and city with Xiaobai, and their trusting attitude of never interfering in anything made Xiaobai quite comfortable. Therefore, out of respect for Chairman Er Gou, Xiaobai could indeed lend a hand to help the Mu family clean up the deep-sea ships on the beach.
After all, even a small mosquito bite is still meat, and deep-sea metals can be exchanged for money. Someone was begging him to develop the mine near her house, so he had no reason to refuse.
However, there was one thing that Xiaobai didn't quite understand.
"Nono-neechan," Shiro asked Nono-neechan, "why would you rather stab yourself with a knife than tell the president the truth?"
After Xiaobai asked this question, President Ergou also looked at Muna.
If Muna Hana properly explains the whole story to President Er Gou and Xiao Bai and begs for their help, Xiao Bai and President Er Gou will not refuse her.
You know, if it weren't for Chairman Er Gou's drop of blood, even a god couldn't save Munai.
Even if Konoka learned from some source that Chairman Er Gou's blood could save lives, it wouldn't matter if she suffered a fatal injury. But if something went wrong, Konoka's life would be wasted.
What reason could possibly make Muna Hana willing to risk her life to deceive Chairman Er Gou?
Xiaobai was very curious.
President Er Gou was also very curious.
All eyes immediately turned to Monica.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat tense.
Sitting under everyone's gaze, Muna silently picked up the pillow that President Er Gou had thrown at her.
He tightened his belt.
Then her little eyes suddenly started blinking.
They seemed tired and aggrieved.
"They're over fifty..."
"Isn't this just to get my sister to make the decision to take over the business..."
"They...want to retire too..."
Chapter 903 An Unintentional Act Leads to a Success
The old man is getting old after all.
As people get older, their minds become less sharp, and their bodies can't keep up with the demands of younger people.
So, actually, before the old man was hospitalized, less than two years after Chairman Er Gou eloped for love, he gradually realized that his deteriorating health could no longer handle the operation of the entire Mu family. In a fit of desperation, the old man handed over the power of the head of the Mu family to his eldest daughter, Mu Naihua.
Despite the pressure, Muna Hana diligently worked in her position.
Time passed slowly on her pen. Before she knew it, Muna Hana counted on her fingers and realized that she had been working as the temporary head of the family for ten years.
Ten years have passed. Even though Konohana is only the nominal temporary head of the family, in the eyes of many members of the Konohana family, she has done everything perfectly during her ten years in office and led the Konohana family to peaceful development. She is the true head of the family.
The initial faint doubts slowly turned into a continuous stream of praise and admiration over time.
That's how leaders are; being without fault is their greatest achievement.
but.
Konohana really doesn't want to be the head of the family.
She was just a victim of the old man's reckless abandon.
It was like being forced into a situation.
Before becoming the head of the household, she was just a housewife.
The title of head of the Mu family may sound impressive and powerful, but in reality, this job is not fun at all.
I was sitting at home when the phone kept ringing and there was constant knocking on the door all day long.
When Muna wants to take a nap, she wakes up to find a small mountain of documents waiting to be reviewed.
Every day, the first thing I do when I open my eyes is think about the food supply for the entire city of Linsheng, and I also have to keep an eye on the city's GDP, pay attention to various indicators, and keep an eye on market trends. Especially at the shipbuilding factory, every time the phone rings, it's almost always because a production line has stopped, there's a strike somewhere, or the raw material supplier is raising prices. In short, I have to come over to sign a contract and negotiate. By the end of the day, there's a stack of documents piled up at home.
Ten years.
Do you know how mummy flowers came to be?
She would rather play the mobile game "Greedy Blue Moon" for ten years in front of the computer.
For the past ten years, Munaihua has had money but no time to spend it, her sex life is almost nonexistent, she is troubled by many things every day, she doesn't rest on weekends, she works overtime on holidays, and she can't even go home to eat dumplings on New Year's Eve.
Damn the head of the Mu family.
Is this something a human being could do?
I'm not short of money, okay? I've always been able to act like a tyrant because of my father, okay? What use is this patriarch to me anyway?
Let whoever wants to do it do it!
Munaihua had been planning to dump the product for a long time.
However, while she may want to pass on the assets, the position of head of the household is a very important matter, and not just anyone can shoulder it.
The ability requirement alone is enough to shut out 100% of the candidates.
So, after President Er Gou finally agreed to go home, Konohana was actually very happy.
First of all, it must be admitted that Konohana, as the older sister, is very happy to see that her younger sister is doing well now.
Secondly, when Muna Hana saw the honest man willing to take her place, she felt a genuine sense of joy, as if she had finally found a new home.
After all, Guild Leader Er Gou is Mu Naihua's younger sister. Despite her seemingly crazy personality, she was once a guild leader and possesses considerable professional skills and personal charm.
Then the mummy flowers were arranged.
1. The Mu family encountered difficulties.
2. Er Gou, the guild leader, becomes the temporary head of the family.
3. The Mu family's difficulties were resolved beautifully.
4. With the support of the people, President Er Gou successfully took over the Mu family and became the matriarch of the family.
5. Mummy Flower's Great Victory.
As it turns out, even women from the Mu family can be driven mad under prolonged pressure.
In order to execute her plan smoothly, Muna gave Chairman Ergou no choice and risked her life to push him to the position of head of the family with that one stab.
"Peng!"
Konohana, who was hugging a pillow, rolled off the chair and curled up on the floor.
"I want to rest! I want to rest! I don't want to be the head of the household anymore! Waaaaaah! My little sister can slack off every day, travel, and kiss people all the time, so why do I have to sit in the office and work overtime every day? Waaaaahh ...
"No, no, no, no!!"
"Unfair! Unfair! Unfair!"
"She's my sweetheart too, and I haven't even finished watching a whole season of a TV series in over ten years! Only a damn patriarch like me would want to ruin my happiness!"
"Waaaaah, I've got so many more wrinkles on my face, I'm not a pretty girl anymore..."
"He just wants to enjoy his retirement, playing chess, practicing Tai Chi, and doing square dancing!"
"Naige, please help us out and become the head of the family!!!"
"I can't live like this anymore, waaaaaah!"
Konohana was rolling around on the floor, crying and screaming, clutching her pillow. She was like a completely different person; her previous composure and dignity had vanished in an instant, leaving only her mischievousness.
Xiaobai stared blankly at Muna, who was kicking her legs and rolling around on the floor, completely exasperated by her question.
Xiaobai found Munaihua's current state somewhat familiar; she had seen her before.
On one occasion, when I returned from outside the naval base, I seemed to see Lexington, who was under too much work pressure and in dire need of venting, hugging a Saratoga body pillow in the admiral's office, transforming into the naval base's idol.
Ugh.
It's true that every lady has the heart of a little girl inside.
They will jump out from the bottom of their hearts when they can't bear the pressure and help them release their pressure in an idol-like way.
Lexington had Shirley's help to relieve stress, so she never became an idol again. Otherwise, if Lexington were ever overwhelmed by work and turned into a shameful person like Muna, Shirley wouldn't know how to face her brother in heaven.

Years later, Xiaobai and Chairman Ergou learned that the Mu family was actually very powerful and influential, and as the saying goes, "the tallest tree catches the most wind." People would always shoot the first bird to stick its head out. So, in the past few decades, as soon as the world's basic needs for food and clothing were met, idle and troublesome people emerged one after another, and there were always many such troubles in Linsheng City.
Most of the time, it was a close call but no real danger.
In any case, for natural disasters like deep-sea alerts, Osmanthus is always able to arrive and report them much earlier, and other human disasters are meaningless in the face of Lady Noihana's absolute schemes and tricks.
Basically, every so often, at fixed times, there are scoundrels or deep-sea fleets that run near Linsheng City. Then, they are defeated and lose confidence by the various methods used by the Mu family.
As a result, many citizens grew tired of the conflicts and moved elsewhere. This is the real reason why Linsheng City has a small population.
The older members of the Mu family who stayed in Linsheng City gradually got used to this kind of thing year after year. Eventually, only a few young people in the Mu family (referring to Mu Chenglin) got into it.
The scale of the damage was immense; if Nono hadn't suppressed it, waiting to use it as the first major event for Chairman Nigou upon taking office, she would have crushed the entire affair long ago with her decisive and iron-fisted methods.
Given the extent of the disgrace caused by this foreign enemy, this incident wouldn't even qualify for a nomination as one of the top ten most harmful incidents of the year in the annual selection held by the Mu family during the Lunar New Year.
The group carried the sullen and tearful Muna, whose conspiracy had been exposed, all the way back to the Mu family villa.
In the villa.
The hall was filled with distinguished guests.
The uncles and aunts Xiaobai had met the day before yesterday were sitting in the living room, chatting animatedly as if nothing had happened. For a moment, Xiaobai had a subtle feeling that she had been wasting her time these past two days.
In the middle of the living room, an ordinary-looking old man with a dark face sat cross-legged with a sullen expression.
It has absolutely no imposing presence.
"Daddy!" Muna Hana threw herself into the arms of the dark-faced old man, and started to act coquettishly despite her age.
"These past few days have been a nightmare for you guys. My head hurts." The dark-faced old man muttered, but his eyes were bright as he stared intently at President Er Gou beside Xiao Bai.
"Hmph." President Er Gou turned his head and snorted.
"Hmph." The dark-faced old man also turned his head and snorted softly.
These two seem to be stubbornly proud and arrogant despite their advanced age.
Looking at the two of them, Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh.
But think about it and forget it.
Xiao Bai and the others sat down on the threshold.
"Dad," Muna Hana sniffed and squeaked at the dark-faced old man.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm no longer the head of the family."
"Oh." The dark-faced old man nodded.
"I won't do it either!!" President Er Gou slammed his hand on the floor with a loud thud.
Although President Er Gou is shameless, he still has some dignity.
