Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 62 An Accidental Encounter with Tong Wu and Their Romance

"It won't have any impact!"

"Because of the media and official intervention, all the teachers involved in this matter have been dismissed! In addition, Song Jian's entire family has been sentenced and prosecuted."

"Moreover, Bai Xue's younger brother, Bai Wushen, and all his classmates were also commended because of these things!"

"Similarly, the school also arrested some of these students who had made mistakes before and gave them certain punishments."

After hearing what Yan Yan said, Xu Mu nodded in agreement.

Every day, every hour, something infuriating happens in this world.

However, this does not mean that the world is only filled with darkness.

Instead, there is much light!

These youthful spirits should be put to good use during their youth.

Therefore, Xu Mu felt very gratified.

"That's good, at least this matter has been resolved satisfactorily!"

"When are you free? I'll treat you to dinner!"

Ever since Yan Ming's incident, Yan Yan has wanted to invite Xu Mu to dinner because of it.

However, Xu Mu refused them all.

"No time."

"I only want to eat with people who like me!"

"Get lost!" Yan Yan rolled her eyes.

The training that followed was Yan Yan's one-sided torture of Xu Mu... Even though Xu Mu was used to this kind of high-intensity training, under Yan Yan's rough and crazy operation, Xu Mu still couldn't help but feel pain!
Damn, is this woman so vengeful?

Never mind... I won't bother her anymore.

"..."

After finishing her workout, Xu Mu walked out of the gym with a sense of relief.

I drove to the headquarters of Kaiyuan Taihe.

Because he had discussed investing in the breeding farm with Liu Jianguo last night, Xu Mu needed to go over and sign the contract in advance.

As for the business license for the new farm, Xu Mu has already arranged for Wang Ruofei and Wang Mengyan to handle it.

This is not something Xu Mu should have to do himself.

Since he wants to become the richest man, Xu Mu needs to learn to delegate some authority and let his subordinates do some things!

Upon arriving at the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel, Xu Mu went to Liu Jianguo's office... which was the same office Liu Yang had previously worked in.

He was sitting inside, drinking tea with Tang Mochen.

"Hey! You two are having tea together, are you waiting to ambush me?"

"Of course." Tang Mochen smiled and pulled out a chair for Xu Mu. "Have a seat!"

"I heard from Lao Liu that you want to start a new company to separate the investments from both parties?"

Won't this conflict with business operations?

"No," Xu Mu shook his head. "Everything is under my control, don't worry! I would never betray you!"

"I do not believe!"

"Huh?" Xu Mu turned to look at Tang Mochen. "Old Tang, you just don't trust me anymore!"

"Are you trying to force me to show off?"

"Show me what you're made of!"

Tang Mochen handed Xu Mu a thin Zhonghua cigarette, lit it for him, and said with a smile, "I've never seen Xu Mu show off before!"

"I'm really curious how young people try to show off!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mu crossed his legs, rested his left hand on the back of the crescent chair, and his right hand on the tea table, taking a drag of his cigarette.

He revealed a crooked smile, like the Dragon King:

"Let's not count the shares of Kaiyuan Taihe! Let's talk about the 40 million shares of Yinlun Shares! Do you think I'd be short of tens or hundreds of millions of yuan in cash? Brothers, I just want to cooperate with you, but you're thinking of ripping me off! Do you think I need your little bit of money? Huh!?"

"The deep brotherhood and vows of eternal love we made over drinks, are still remembered?"

"What is that? Is it just talking nonsense?"

Xu Mu pounded on the table in indignation.

Seeing Xu Mu's expression, Tang Mochen laughed and said, "A vow of eternal love is an idiom!"

"..."

This time, Xu Mu fell silent.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Xu Mu get the short end of the stick, Tang Mochen and Liu Jianguo laughed heartily.

"Kidding."

"How could we not trust you! How about we have dinner with Tang Ruobing tonight? She spends all her time at home playing games or scrolling through Douyin these days, I'm really worried about her!"

"What's there to worry about? Tang Ruobing is so beautiful. Why would you worry that she won't find a husband?"

Xu Mu glanced at Tang Mochen sideways.

I think Tang Mochen is just bored out of his mind!
That's true, though.

These people are all very wealthy. They live in villas in Yangjiashan, drinking tea or traveling around.

After achieving financial freedom, life has become incredibly dull and monotonous.

"Of course I'm worried!" Tang Mochen frowned and felt a headache when he mentioned his daughter. "Her mother passed away early, and I didn't discipline her much. I basically let her grow up freely. She contacts me when she needs money, and when she doesn't need money, she's out having fun with her friends!"

"The only thing that doesn't worry me is that she's not interested in guys... But when she was in college, I thought she was alright, and I was worried she'd get scammed by a jerk. Now... I wish I could let her hang out with guys!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mu couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't that just being shameless?"

"I used to worry that she would be scammed, but now I wish she would be scammed!"

"But I really have no interest in Tang Ruobing..."

Xu Mu is currently busy pursuing Ye Muling and carrying out the system's mission to pursue Ye Muling. He doesn't have time to have anything to do with Tang Ruobing! Most importantly, Xu Mu really can't stand Tang Ruobing's bad temper.

"Hey, don't you play games all the time? You can play games with her!"

What is she playing?

Tang Mochen thought for a moment, "I heard it's about League of Legends and Honor of Kings!"

"Play them all... including Delta Force, Valorant, and the like."

"But I think she plays League of Legends the most!"

"Sure, I'll be interested if you talk about League of Legends!"

I'll ask her out tonight when I get home!

"..."

"Let's have dinner together tonight! I'll book an esports hotel for you guys, you can duo queue there tonight!"

"???" Xu Mu turned his head and looked at Tang Mochen with a shocked expression. "Damn it, Lao Tang, are you forcing me to commit a crime?! I wouldn't dare to do such a thing! You're too crazy, you'll end up sending me to jail."

"Sigh... I'm so worried!" Tang Mochen couldn't help but sigh. "If I weren't worried about her marriage, how could I have come up with such a crooked idea?"

"Alright... I was too hasty. I won't interfere in your affairs as young people! But don't young people tend to develop feelings faster? You can decide how to handle it. From what I've seen of you, you're the only outstanding young talent I know in the entire Tianji County that I've taken a liking to!"

"Hehe... Thank you!"

After finalizing the contract with Liu Jianguo, we signed it and pressed our fingerprints.

Xu Mu declined... no, she firmly rejected Tang Mochen's invitation to dinner.

He's not that shameless, going to Tang Ruobing with a smirk... then that spoiled brat will turn around and say Xu Mu wants to pursue her or something like that.

Isn't this a typical ordinary woman?

On her way home with the contract, Xu Mu bought a bouquet of flowers.

I also brought some cold dishes.

Life isn't all about feasting on meat and fish every day; sometimes, a simple meal of pork head meat and steamed buns can be just as satisfying!
Since Ye Muling and Xu Mu had a long chat that day, Xu Mu has had a deeper understanding of relationships.

During the six months that Xu Mu had been dating his blind date Wang Ya, he took her out to eat almost every day.

Although Xu Mu was in debt at that time, the farm still brought in income every month, so his life was not greatly affected overall.

Xu Mu's cousin also said that even if they ate out every day, it would only cost a few thousand yuan a month, but things got much better after they got married... But now, looking back, he realized that life isn't all about big meals and beautiful flowers and fruits every day.

Sometimes, strolling hand in hand aimlessly through the streets is a kind of happiness too!
Or perhaps they are stepping on each other's shadows.

Or perhaps you could come to Shifeng Lake, enjoy the evening breeze, and ask the uncles and aunties singing by the lake for a microphone to sing a song.

It's the same kind of happiness!
Of course, the necessary sense of ritual should still be maintained.

Back home, Xu Mu gave the flowers to Ye Muling.

After finishing his daily update on his computer, Xu Mu drove around the landmark Yueqiao Bridge in Tianji County.

This place becomes very lively every summer, with dazzling lights and bustling crowds.

Interspersed throughout were the sounds of passersby singing and vendors hawking candied hawthorns.

"Sis, would you like some candied hawthorn?"

Xu Mu pointed to the mobile vendors hawking their wares not far away.

"Give me a skewer, it's been so long since I've had candied hawthorns!"

"I see he also sells cotton candy!"

Xu Mu rushed toward the vendor, but before he got close, he saw another boy bring a girl to the vendor's side and buy a skewer of candied hawthorns!

"Hey! Isn't that my brother Xiao Wu?"

"Wait, isn't that Cao Yifei next to me?"

"Hiss... This bastard said he couldn't get Cao Yifei to come, but here he is, strolling around the Moon Bridge with her? Sure enough, a man's words are deceitful, and you can't trust your brother's words either!"

Xu Mu muttered to himself, feeling somewhat indignant.

Sure enough, after the younger brother got a girlfriend, even the older brother didn't believe it!

You're not even telling me you're going on a date tonight!
Sure enough, once the child grows up, he's no longer under his father's control!

"Boss, give me a skewer of candied hawthorns and a skewer of cotton candy."

Xu Mu walked up to the vendor and said with a smile.

"Oh? What a coincidence! You're that novelist, Xu Mu?"

"Wow! What a coincidence!" Xu Mu looked surprised, as if she had just discovered it. "Liu Yifei from Tianji County!"

"long time no see!"

"Tong Wu, what are you doing here? What's going on with you two...?"

Xu Mu pointed at Tong Wu and Cao Yifei, revealing a knowing smile.

"Brother Mu...what a coincidence!"

Upon seeing Xu Mu appear, Tong Wu scratched his head sheepishly, appearing somewhat reserved.

After all, he hadn't expected to meet Cao Yifei today, and for a moment he forgot to tell Xu Mu about it.

"Yes, my sister and I came out for a stroll on Yueqiao Bridge. I didn't expect to run into you guys here!" Xu Mu patted Tong Wu's shoulder with a smile, saying with a half-smile, "Little Wu, you're something else, managing to get Liu Yifei from Tianji County to come out?"

"Judging from your expressions? Oh, you've made a deal?"

"Xu Mu, don't talk nonsense!" Cao Yifei quickly denied, "We're just ordinary friends hanging out."

"I had just finished get off work when Tong Wu said he happened to be in the new city and that he'd been under a lot of work pressure lately, so we went out for a stroll..."

Xu Mu gave a knowing smile and said, "Oh, Cao Yifei, I understand."

"No explanation needed."

"My brother is a pretty good guy! He's a bit quiet, but he's a reliable person! You should hurry up and get him!"

"Heh!" Cao Yifei snorted. "Forget it, I'm as beautiful as you, I'm not in a hurry!"
