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

Chapter 101 Let's Have a Baby (32 Chapters - Seeking First Subscriptions!)

Sure enough, married women tend to be very rude!
Xu Mu was stunned when he heard Xu Ping's words!
Mom, do you want to hear what you're saying?

"Mom, I don't think this matter is in a rush..."

Xu Mu was initially drunk, but after hearing these words, he sobered up considerably!
"No rush, no rush. Your dad and I are still young. We were thinking that if you and Lingling have a child, we can help take care of it while we're still young! Besides, having a child won't affect our work!"

"Mom! What did you say?"

Ye Muling, who was enjoying the air conditioning in Xu Mu's room, couldn't stand it any longer and quickly came out, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment...

“Xu Mu has his own ideas, and I’ve discussed it with him. The current model is fine! However, removing his name from the household registration is definitely something we can do! Xu Mu and I are not related by blood. This is to give the village a heads-up in advance, otherwise we don’t know what they will say about us!”

"Sister, don't you want me anymore either?"

Xu Mu raised her head, looked at Ye Muling pitifully, and asked curiously.

"Do you want your older sister, or do you want the household registration book?"

Ye Muling approached Xu Mu, tilted her head, and asked with a gentle smile, "When I came back before, what did you say to me in Zhexi Old Street? Didn't you say you wanted to pursue me? Now that I'm saying I want to marry you, you're acting like a coward?"

"No, not at all..." Xu Mu scratched his head, feeling a bit confused. "How could I possibly back down? It's just that getting married is such an overreaction. If it doesn't take a few years, I reckon the villagers will be cursing us to death!"

"Removing my name is no problem, I want to have a separate household registration..."

"I think we should continue with our current way of getting along!"

"..."

"Okay!" Ye Muling thought for a moment, perhaps because Xu Ping was here, Xu Mu was too embarrassed to say anything more.

But she could definitely sense Xu Mu's feelings.

This brat, though he's stubborn.

But my heart is still burning with passion.

Sometimes, when he was sleeping in the same bed with Xu Mu, his most genuine physical reactions betrayed his true feelings.

The body is the most honest.

Especially the stinky younger brother of the stinky younger brother.

Extremely honest.

After Ye Pingfan brought the hangover soup, Xu Muliang drank it all in one gulp after a while...

Not long after, Xu Mu received a call from Tang Mu.

"Hey? Xu Mu, I scanned three people here, and they said they know you!"

"Why don't you come over? We're at the Xincheng Police Station right now."

"I understand, I'll send someone over right now!"

Xu Mu revealed a satisfied smile.

There's no need to elaborate on this situation.

The fact that Tang Mu was able to call him means that Bai Xue had already made the arrangements!
And I told Tang Mu about it!
Some things in this society don't need to be said; everyone knows them... it's the default thing!

After hanging up with Tang Mu, Xu Mu called Bai Xue again, "Sister Bai Xue, go to Xincheng Police Station and get those three people out!"

"Send them to the hotel..."

Tell them I'll come back tomorrow to talk to them again!

"Ok!"

Bai Xue responded, seemingly understanding Xu Mu's meaning.

But she still didn't ask.

She knew that this was not a suitable topic to discuss over the phone.

All she had to do was carry out Xu Mu's instructions.

More than half an hour later, Chen Feng called Xu Mu.

However, Xu Mu didn't answer!
Then, Chen Feng sent another WeChat message, "Xu Mu, I'm sorry..."

"We lost control of ourselves!"

Xu Mu didn't reply!

He believed that Bai Xue would handle it well...

"Xiao Mu, take them back to the hotel!"

"I think all three of them have become much more sober."

"It's good that they're sober now, which means they had time to communicate with their partners and team members tonight!" Xu Mu smiled and said, "Aren't you curious why I gave them such a high price?"

"right……"

"Based on their previous discussions with other investment teams, five million was already the limit for their team. This project was indeed feasible, but its potential was limited, and the competitive pressure was immense!"

"The dot-com bubble was extremely harmful!"

"The 22 million we spent on the acquisition was basically a waste of money!"

Xu Mu paused, then continued, "But I believe in them!"

"I believe in Chen Feng!"

"The thrill of being pushed to the brink of death and then surviving is what they want to experience... Of course, I admire that fat guy even more; a professional techie can be completely focused!"

"Alright, let's talk again tomorrow. I need to take a shower and go to bed! Sister Baixue, you should get some rest too!"

"Good night!" Bai Xue said softly.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Mu lay down for a while before taking a cold shower.

Don't take a hot shower after drinking alcohol, or your blood vessels might burst!
Lying in bed, Ye Muling had long been used to leaning against Xu Mu's chest.

"Do you still feel something's off?"

Ye Muling stroked Xu Mu's chin and asked curiously.

"Yes." Xu Mu nodded. "But I'll listen to you guys. I'll take some time to go to the community service center and have my household registration book listed separately... It will be more convenient if we really do get married later!"

Xu Mu ruffled Ye Muling's hair and said with a smile, "I think our careers are just starting out... there's no rush to get married. Besides, we know each other inside and out, we've known each other since we were little, so we don't need this so-called marriage certificate at all, because we're family!"

"Of course..."

Ye Muling nodded, agreeing with what Xu Mu said.

"But my mom was definitely pushing me too hard."

Ye Muling still couldn't quite imagine what Xu Ping had just said!
Won't I get scolded by the villagers?

"What's the rush? I think it's perfectly normal! We're both not young anymore, it's really a bit late to not get married now!"

"I wasn't talking about getting married! I was talking about having children!"

Ye Muling definitely took this matter to heart!

Although it was Xu Ping's half-joking remark, Ye Muling didn't take it that way at all!
She still had a faint hope.

I don't know why, but I don't usually think about these things, but when I heard my mom say it, this strange emotion immediately welled up...

"Have a baby? You want to have a baby?" Xu Mu raised an eyebrow, turned to look at Ye Muling lying next to her, and her eyes flashed with a strange look. "Sis, what's wrong with you? Thinking about having a baby... How much pressure is there to have a baby these days? You can't afford to raise one!"

"Give me a break! Don't you want children?"

"No, that's not it... It would be nice to have a daughter, but I can't accept having a son... I really like daughters!"

Hearing Ye Muling bring up this topic, Xu Mu touched his chin and couldn't help but start daydreaming.

If I had a daughter, I would definitely buy her all sorts of beautiful clothes and delicious food.

Dressed up as a pretty little princess.

As for the son?

As for sons, it's best to raise them frugally... just like Shen Teng in the claw machine movie.

They raised their son in poverty and ruined him.

However, Xu Mu doesn't plan to do that... He can only say that he'll give her less money so she won't become a spoiled rich kid!

Do you think we'll have our own children?

"???"

"sister……"

Xu Mu was full of questions, but before she could speak, Ye Muling had already turned off the light.

Her pretty face was flushed...

I'm really looking forward to Xu Mu's answer.

“Of course there will be!”

After a long silence, Xu Mu finally spoke.

However, tonight is still Christmas Eve, and because the bed at home is a wooden bed, if the two of us move too much, it won't be able to support us, and the bed will collapse!

Xu Mu has a clear understanding of his own combat capabilities...

After tonight's long chat, Xu Mu's unease had dissipated considerably.

It's just a difference in mindset!
The next morning, Xu Mu got up early.

Xu Mu's head was still a little fuzzy from last night's hangover.

After Xu Mu changed her clothes, Ye Muling also began to change her clothes...

"Did you just buy those two cars in front of the gate?"

"correct."

Xu Mu did not deny it.

Now that my family has accepted the idea that I should earn money, there's no need to hide anything anymore!
Just show it off openly and honestly!

Moreover, through this method, Xu Mu can subtly influence her parents' thinking, so that they don't have to work so hard anymore and can retire earlier!

However, Xu Mu thought about it and realized that the two of them had worked for most of their lives, and it would definitely not be good to suddenly let them stop working... So Xu Mu made an excuse to have them stay at home temporarily to keep an eye on the house construction.

Ye Pingfan, the father, would occasionally go to the village's ditches or ponds to fish for eels.

He had no hobbies in his life, and he was frugal. He just liked to study things like fishing for eels and fishing!

"How much will this cost?"

"It's okay, sis. Your brother is making money non-stop now... Real rich people can never spend all their money."

"We'll only get better and better, making money from money!"

“That’s true…” Ye Muling’s thinking wasn’t so old-fashioned, and it was normal for Xu Mu to like sports cars at such a young age.

"You can drive this Aston Martin!" Xu Mu tossed the Aston Martin keys to Ye Muling. "We can leave this Mercedes C-Class at the company as a company car!"

"Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit!"

"By the way, sis, I'm planning to book tickets for September 5th and take you and Mom and Dad to Sanya for a trip. After we come back from Sanya, we'll fly straight to Kyoto and take you to see the flag-raising ceremony!"

"Okay, okay!" Upon hearing about going out to play, Ye Muling nodded repeatedly without any hesitation, her face full of anticipation. "Alright, then you make the arrangements, I'll go to the company first!"

Both of them are very busy right now. Xu Mu drove his Porsche 911 GT3 to the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel.

Xu Mu spent time at the gym, but Yan Yan wasn't there... She went to buy a house and told Xu Mu to wait at the gym for a while.

Xu Mu didn't think much of it and continued exercising on her own.

"Xu Mu! Long time no see!"

Seeing Xu Mu exercising alone, Wang Rou seized the opportunity and walked over with a smile, asking Xu Mu, "Why are you exercising alone? Where's your personal trainer Yan Yan? Why isn't she here?"

"Oh, she went to buy a house! Tell me to wait a bit..."

"Huh?" Wang Rou was completely bewildered when she heard Xu Mu's words. "Isn't Yan Yan's family not well-off? Why did they suddenly buy a house?"

"Nothing! Maybe they suddenly became rich?"

Xu Mu didn't have a good impression of Wang Rou, and simply replied in a nonchalant tone, "Everyone has their own different opportunities, isn't it normal to get rich?"

"That's true..."

"Since Yan Yan isn't here, do you want me to train with you? I was quite impressed with you during our brief time supervising the class last time... What a pity, a client as good as you is not for me!"

As Wang Rou spoke, she moved closer to Xu Mu in a more intimate manner!
She deliberately puffed out her chest, wanting to show Xu Mu just how well-endowed she was!

However, Xu Mu had no feelings for her; his gaze was calm, and he was completely focused.

Then, he calmly said, "Sorry, I can train by myself!"

"Thank you."

"It's okay, I'm just free anyway..."

Xu Mu turned his head and glanced at Wang Rou with a cold look in his eyes, "Fine!"

"Thank you!"

Subsequently, Wang Rou used the excuse of being a sparring partner to have a lot of physical contact with Xu Mu!
"Brother Xu Mu, what do you do for a living?"

"I'll start a small business!" Xu Mu said calmly.

"Can you secretly tell me where Yan Yan's money comes from? I promise I won't tell anyone!"

Xu Mu glanced at Wang Rou sideways.

Wang Rou's tea-making skills were so-so, but she was indeed beautiful, petite and delicate, with an oval face... and she maintained a very good figure. However, she always had a faint seafood smell about her, but it wasn't a normal seafood smell; it was somewhat pungent!

To be honest, a girl like her could easily catch a lot of fish just by casually hooking her hand.

Moreover, these fish don't need to be very strong. One or two thousand or even three thousand a month is enough. And as long as she manages her time well, her monthly income can steadily exceed one hundred thousand, and more than one million a year. If she persists for two or three years, she can at least make a living in a small county.

"Her money? I gave it to her!" Xu Mu said calmly. "Isn't it normal for me to give her money? To help me buy an apartment! Where would I find the time to buy an apartment myself?"

Xu Mu didn't say much, though the explanation that followed was something he added after thinking about it.

Otherwise, with Wang Rou's imagination, she would definitely think that Yan Yan was being kept by her!
However, whether she adds something or not, the result is the same: Wang Rou already believes that Yan Yan is being kept by a sugar daddy!

"I thought Yan Yan was some kind of virtuous and chaste woman, but I didn't expect she was also kept by a man... But, Brother Xu Mu, aren't you giving Yan Yan way too much? Usually, thirty to fifty thousand a month is enough!" "I have plenty of money, I'm happy to!" Xu Mu only said those five words...

Wang Rou's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Brother, what do you think of me?"

"Wang Rou, what are you doing? You're practically glued to the client, don't you realize?"

Yan Yan's voice rang out from behind, and she charged over aggressively.

She had just received a message from Xu Mu, so she quickly completed the relevant procedures and rushed back after the transfer of ownership.

I never expected to witness this scene...

When Wang Rou saw Yan Yan return, she said without batting an eye, "I just thought you weren't here. I know Xu Mu before, and we've had private lessons a few times. I just wanted to help you with your class so he wouldn't be angry because you weren't here."

"Shut the fuck up, you filthy bitch! Everyone knows what you're thinking. You practically reek of seafood... and you're still pretending to be innocent?"

Yan Yan originally didn't want to have a conflict with Wang Rou, but you went and seduced Xu Mu right in front of me?
Can I bear this?

She exploded!
"Damn it! Yan Yan, who are you cursing?"

"You're the filthy bitch! Stop pretending to be a virtuous woman. Xu Mu just told me she gave you a house to keep you as her sugar daddy... Hah, so that's why you always looked down on these people. Turns out you were thinking of catching a big fish!"

Wang Rou crossed her arms and wore a mocking smile.

The two people arguing immediately attracted the attention of many people nearby.

"Hey! Holy crap! Don't you dare talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

"I'm so busy with business, how could I have time to buy a house myself? Didn't I tell you I asked Yan Yan to help me buy an apartment across the street so I could rest easily after exercising... How did you turn it into me keeping Yan Yan as a mistress!"

"You're the one being kept, so why do you think others are being kept too?"

Xu Mu quickly jumped out to explain...

"Exactly!" Yan Yan's confidence grew after hearing Xu Mu's words. She glared at Wang Rou and said, "Wang Rou, not everyone is like you, enjoying selling their bodies for money! You may not smell your own body, but we can. Instead of wasting time seducing men, you should go see a gynecologist and see if you catch any diseases..."

“Exactly.” Xu Mu nodded emphatically.

“Xiao Wang, I think what you’re saying is wrong… Xu Mu is Yan Yan’s client, and we’ve known Yan Yan for so long, she’s not that kind of person at all! You’re publicly saying that Yan Yan is being kept by Xu Mu, isn’t that an insult?”

"You insulted Yan Yan and Xu Mu. I know Xu Mu, and he would never stoop to such a thing! A big boss like him has no shortage of girls around him, and I've seen him and Yan Yan bickering all the time, like sworn enemies..."

"If you ask me, you should apologize to Yan Yan!"

"Let's just leave it at that!"

"Yes, apologize!"

"..."

Yan Yan has a good reputation at the gym, but Wang Rou is a different story.

She may be a flirt, but she'll call anyone who tries to take advantage of her a loser.

Toad wants to eat!

People like Wang Rou are essentially trying to change their fate through this method!
It cannot be said that she was wrong.

But publicly insulting Yan Yan is problematic!
Although Xu Mu and Yan Yan are indeed in a sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship, what does that have to do with you?

Why are you babbling on like this?
Everyone around her was speaking up for Yan Yan, which made Wang Rou's face turn extremely ugly, and for a moment she didn't know what to say...

Then, she flung her hand away and stormed off the scene.

Seeing the farce subside, Xu Mu smiled and dismissed the crowd.

"You practice with me for a while, and then I'll go swimming later."

Why did you come so early today?

"I discussed an investment last night. The three of them live upstairs, and I'm waiting for their call now!"

"I see..." Yan Yan nodded. "How much was the investment?"

"I wanted to spend 22 million to acquire this company, but the offer was a bit overpriced. In fact, some investment companies in Hangzhou offered them 5 million, but they were unwilling to accept it and were thinking of going back to Tianji County to try their luck!"

Xu Mu gave a brief explanation.

To put it bluntly, their trip back to Tianji County was partly to try their luck, and partly to fleece people... After all, these so-called bosses in small towns are mostly gullible and rich...

But what they didn't know was...

Truly wealthy people are actually very shrewd!

Young man, money isn't so easy to earn!

I just didn't expect Xu Mu to be such a straightforward person.

Xu Mu didn't want to speculate about human nature.

Because by offering a price of 22 million, they have the opportunity to launder the funds at any time!
Therefore, the person offering five million to acquire the team doesn't want the team.

It's mainly a test of human nature!
Of course, Xu Mu has a way to deal with this!
Directly dispatch legal and financial teams to monitor their financial situation!
If you're going to do it, do it well!
If you don't want to do it, then forget it!
"Then I wish you success!"

Yan Yan accompanied Xu Mu to exercise for two hours, after which Xu Mu swam in the pool for an hour.

At 10:30, Xu Mu finally went ashore to take a shower.

I took out my phone and found several missed calls.

"Hey?"

Xu Mu answered Chen Feng's call.

"Xu Mu, are you free right now? I'd like to talk to you!"

"I'm at the gym. Come find me in the tea room on the second floor!"

"it is good!"

Xu Mu got dressed and went to the tea room on the second floor.

After waiting for a while, Chen Feng appeared alone in the tea room.

Once he sat down opposite Xu Mu, he said, "I'm sorry about what happened last night! I've caused you trouble!"

"It's nothing," Xu Mu waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's only human nature!"

"After thinking it over all night, what's your decision?"

Xu Mu handed Chen Feng a cigarette and asked with a smile.

"I convinced the team to go through the acquisition process!"

"And our entire team has followed the company without missing a single member! I choose to believe in you, and I want to build this business together..."

Xu Mu didn't say much, only revealing a calm smile, "You've made a very good choice!"

"I will have my lawyer draft the acquisition agreement and send it over."

"Have some tea!"

"The acquisition price is 22 million. Also, your team has been with the company for five years. After the acquisition, this company will have nothing to do with you anymore. However, what I said last night still stands; you will still receive 10% of the shares..."

"As long as you can make the project a success, you'll definitely get a share of the profits!"

The acquisition is divided into two parts: one is acquiring the company and the project, and that money goes to the startup team...

If they really choose to sell the project, Xu Mu thinks that the company that offered five million probably won't offer five million...

With such a large team and the previous two million, to be honest, each person probably only received two or three hundred thousand yuan!

But Xu Mu is different. The 22 million was injected into the company after the acquisition, and they can't take that money away! Moreover, they want to tie the team to him for five years. That's Xu Mu's real goal.

Otherwise, what's the point of just acquiring one project?

To be honest, this project is worthless to Xu Mu!
"Okay!" Chen Feng took a sip of tea.

Xu Mu then made a phone call to Liu Geng.

"Attorney Liu, come to the tea room on the second floor of the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel. I'll be waiting for you here... Bring your computers; we need to draft an acquisition contract!"

"Okay! We're coming right now!"

Liu Geng responded and then hung up the phone.

There's no need for much nonsense when communicating with a lawyer.

Moreover, this law firm belongs to Xu Mu himself.

To put it bluntly, I am their boss, and I can decide their fate with just a word.

"Where are Liang Cheng and Cai Rong?" Xu Mu asked Chen Feng curiously.

"They're both still sleeping, and they're also too embarrassed to see you..."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about; these kinds of things are perfectly normal," Xu Mu said with a smile. "I thought you'd find a better job after graduating from Zhejiang University, but I didn't expect you to start your own business! Now you know how tough starting a business is, right?"

"It wasn't easy..." Chen Feng pursed his lips, a relieved expression on his face, "But it's alright, I still want to thank you for saving my life!"

"This isn't exactly saving your life; strictly speaking, it's more like mutual cooperation!"

Xu Mu chuckled and took a sip of tea.

The two chatted for more than half an hour in a pleasant atmosphere.

After all, putting aside their identities as investors and entrepreneurs, the two are still old classmates.

I feel like I wish I had met you sooner!

"Sigh, I never expected that you, who were just an ordinary person before, would become the boss who invests in us!"

"The world is indeed unpredictable... I'm so happy for you! I hope our collaboration will continue to thrive!"

"Yes, I will!" Xu Mu replied with a smile.

"But speaking of which... Xu Mu, you're so old now, haven't you thought about finding your biological parents?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mu paused for a moment, then gently shook his head, "I never thought of that..."

“From the moment they abandoned me at the gate of the orphanage, I had nothing to do with them anymore.”

"There is no such thing as a debt of gratitude for giving birth to me!"

Xu Mu showed no sensitivity to this topic whatsoever…

This is not a dark history.

It's just the path I came from!

Although the road we came from wasn't easy, looking back allows us to move more firmly toward the future.

This is Xu Mu's idea!
After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Liu Geng finally arrived with his legal team!

Xu Mu finalized the relevant details with Chen Feng.

Although it was demanding, Chen Feng felt that the acquisition price of 22 million was acceptable... Moreover, compared to other investors, Xu Mu was already a very good partner.

They are very easy to talk to.

"Can you make the decision entirely?"

Xu Mu looked at Chen Feng and said, "If that doesn't work, I think it would be better to go to Hangzhou and sign the contract at your company in person!"

"I can make the decision entirely, but the official seals and such are all in Hangzhou."

"That's alright... As long as you're sure the contract is okay!"

“Every team member needs to sign a five-year employment contract with us, and I’ve also included a 10% equity incentive in the contract!”

"Once the acquisition process is complete, I will arrange for a professional legal and financial team to be stationed at your company. You can communicate with them at any time if there are any problems! In this way, financial and legal crises can be effectively avoided."

"understand!"

Chen Feng could only trust Xu Mu, even though this decision was actually just to monitor them and prevent them from squandering the money.

It's just a different way of saying it.

Chen Feng can accept it!

As long as there's money, as long as this project can be launched, everything else... to be honest, isn't that important!

Liu Geng and Chen Feng discussed the acquisition agreement.

It took about an hour for both parties to finalize all the acquisition details.

Subsequently, Xu Mu and Chen Feng signed their names on the contract.

"Thank you for your hard work, Attorney Liu!"

"I'll treat you to lunch, let's have lunch together!"

"You should go directly to Hangzhou this afternoon to hand over the relevant matters of Milu Technology Company."

"The first funding allocation is five million!"

"I will provide the remaining funds gradually over the next three months!"

Xu Mu looked at Liu Geng and Chen Feng and spoke.

With the contract signed, the acquisition is now complete!
When the negotiations first started last night, Xu Mu did intend to take a 40% stake as per the task assigned by the system. However, Xu Mu then thought, "Wait a minute! Why not just acquire this garbage startup?"
One is to acquire 40% of the shares, and the other is to directly acquire 100% of the shares. This is definitely exceeding the target!

Xu Mu felt that he had exceeded expectations!
I'm so happy!

I treated them to lunch at Kaiyuan Taihe Restaurant.

After Liu Geng and the others returned to Yinlun Group to pack their things, they followed Chen Feng and the others to Hangzhou.

This is their job description. Of course, all travel and accommodation expenses can be reimbursed by the company!
After all, you're serving the boss... If you do well, you could be promoted directly to a senior partner?
In law firms, personnel appointments can be arranged with just a word from the boss.

Liu Geng and the others were naturally delighted, hoping to show off their abilities in front of Xu Mu...

After seeing them off, Xu Mu looked forward to the mission update after midnight tonight.

Let's see what rewards we can get... This is an overachievement, which can be said to be 2.5 times the target. I wonder what awesome rewards we can get.

"Finally, a mission is complete!"

"Don't worry about Wang Qiang. The more pressing matters are Uncle Bai opening his shop and Grandpa getting treatment for his leg..."

"Sigh, I was thinking of just lying down and relaxing... but there are just too many things to do in life!"
