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

Chapter 134 I still want to write romance novels (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month!!)
Teng Peizhi strongly refused Xu Mu's request to send her a car.

Xu Mu simply smiled and didn't dwell on the topic with her.

"What kind of car do you like?"

Xu Mu changed the subject and asked a question.

"I'm not telling you!" Teng Peizhi snorted, raising her swan-like neck and saying coldly, "If you knew, you would definitely buy it for me!"

"If you don't want it, am I supposed to buy it and force you to accept it?"

Xu Mu said speechlessly, "I'm not a simp."

"We're just exchanging ideas about our hobbies. After all, we don't know each other very well yet, right? It's just physical contact. Right now, it's a normal exchange of souls. Your thinking isn't pure enough. You actually think I'm a simp!"

"Yes, yes, yes! You're not a simp, you're a wolf warrior!"

Teng Peizhi nodded quickly and began to think seriously. "I think Porsche sports cars are pretty good-looking, like that pink 718 from earlier, and the Xiaomi YU7. I took a look at the Xiaomi YU7 a couple of days ago, and the pink paint is really beautiful and it's very high-tech. It's just that if you order one now, you'll have to wait until the year after next."

"yu7!"

Xu Mu watched the launch event, but he wasn't interested in the YU7. Ye Muling still hasn't received her SU7 Max. However, last month many people changed their orders to the YU7, so the SU7 should be able to pick up soon.

As for Xu Mu's Ultra, it's probably coming soon.

However, the limited edition Nürburgring track version was also launched at the end of June, and deliveries have only started now. If the opportunity arises, Xu Mu would still like to get his hands on a limited edition Nürburgring track version to play with, even though electric cars don't hold their value.

However, for Xu Mu now, whether it's 800,000 or 500,000, the difference isn't that significant.

But this car is still incredibly powerful.

This is a limited edition of the same model as the prototype car for the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The limited edition for the Nordschleife doesn't have a rear seat; instead, it has a roll cage, making it perfect for the track.

Playing around with it is fine, but it's not acceptable to use this car for family purposes all the time.

The entry-level Ultra model is actually enough, around 500,000 to 600,000 RMB. The track-standard model is around 600,000 RMB, and the Nürburgring-exclusive model is around 820,000 RMB. They are all designed for track use, and even the suspension has been changed to coilovers!
"Waiting for a bus now is like waiting to die, isn't it?"

"Yes, it won't be until the year after next!" Teng Peizhi was dumbfounded. Her income was decent, and to be honest, she still wanted to buy a car, but seeing the waiting time made her feel like the sky was falling.

At that time, nearly 300,000 vehicles were sold in just one hour, which was really exaggerated. 200,000 vehicles were ordered in three minutes, which was truly outrageous.

"Besides yu7, what else do you like?"

"Currently, electric cars are the most practical option in Shanghai. There aren't many other options that I like. I'd say the SU7, which I really like. The car looks good, and it's an electric car, so at least it doesn't have a huge cost in terms of transportation in Shanghai."

Girls have different preferences, but the main thing is that things are pretty and attractive.

"If you're looking at something a bit lower-end, it would be something like the Euler Good Cat."

"But I also quite like the 718, it's a convertible sports car."

"And the BMW 430 would look great with a pink car wrap!"

Xu Mu realized that Teng Peizhi really liked pink, and she always thought that pink was the prettiest color for any car.

Xu Mu had a general idea.

I've decided to buy her a pink YU7 Max, and as for the car itself, I'll just buy a used one.

Waiting for a car that is already in stock is definitely not realistic.

Although Teng Peizhi's rented apartment is very close to the company, it is quite painful to walk to the company when it rains or is windy. Moreover, she also needs to go out to work. Having her own car would make her less passive.

As a senior partner, having a car is still a must.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Xu Mu stood at the entrance and had Teng Peizhi film an entrance video.

Xu Mu is getting better and better at filming these videos, and with his muscular physique, tall stature, and handsome face, he's sure to become famous.

A handsome man paired with a beautiful woman is a perfect match.

Inside the store, Teng Peizhi continued filming with her phone.

"Hello, how much is the seafood buffet per person here?"

"798 yuan, hello, are you two?" The waiter saw Xu Mu and Teng Peizhi walk in, and Teng Peizhi was holding up her phone, so he probably knew they were there to check out the restaurant.

Many people came to explore their restaurant, so the waiter didn't show much emotion. He simply led Xu Mu and Teng Peizhi to their seats in the lobby.

Xu Mu paid the bill, and then the waiter brought the menu.

"Gentlemen, take a look at the menu!"

"Didn't we agree that I would pay?" Teng Peizhi looked at Xu Mu, frowned, and said with a slightly unhappy tone, "I'll transfer the money to you!"

"Okay." Xu Mu nodded.

Xu Mu did not refuse.

After handing the menu to Teng Peizhi, he said, "Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like to eat."

"A buffet is all you can eat!"

"I have a very small appetite, so I can't possibly get my money's worth from eating this."

"There's no point in getting your money's worth when you eat at a buffet, otherwise how would they make money? Right? It's all about having fun, so eat as much as you can."

Xu Mu smiled and said, "Keep an eye on it."

Since there were no prices listed on the buffet menu, Teng Peizhi felt no pressure and ordered everything she could, including some of the more expensive items.

Of course, the most important thing is the limited quantity of king crab; there is only half a king crab available.

Two people together can take just one.

Of course, crab legs are also available for self-service.

"Brothers, 798 per person for half a limited-edition king crab, plus unlimited free crab legs, I think that's a great deal. If you can eat seafood, you can eat as many crab legs as you want, along with some black tiger prawns, salmon, and caviar. I estimate that you'll get your money's worth!"

"For this price and the dishes, I think it's great value for money!"

Xu Mu pointed to the menu and said to the camera.

Although it was Teng Peizhi's first time filming this kind of thing, she was quite adept at it and zoomed in to show the dishes on the menu.

Their filming went very well together.

Xu Mu introduced the dishes, and then Teng Peizhi turned the camera back to Xu Mu, who then introduced the dishes.

After introducing the dishes, Xu Mu called the waiter back.

This is a very standard mukbang (eating broadcast) introduction.

Xu Mu ordered all the dishes mentioned earlier. After all, when you come to eat at a buffet, you should order everything you like. Xu Mu also ordered five plates of M9 Wagyu beef.

Xu Mu still eats meat quite voraciously.

Moreover, beef is especially nutritious for a fitness enthusiast.

After ordering, the dishes were quickly brought to the table by the waiter.

Teng Peizhi raised the camera again, "Come on, brothers, try this M9 Wagyu beef! Look at the quality of the meat. To be honest, I don't know much about beef, but I can see that the marbling of this beef is very beautiful. It's obvious that this beef is of very high quality!"

"Let's put it in the pot and see!"

Xu Mu threw the beef into the hot pot.

This seafood buffet is basically all about hot pot.

After scalding the meat in the pot for a few seconds, Xu Mu took it out, showed it to the camera, dipped it in some sesame sauce, and popped it into his mouth, chewing it with relish.

After Xu Mu finished eating, she took the phone from him. "Here, let me take a picture of you!"

"what?"

Teng Peizhi was stunned and asked in confusion, "Do I still have to appear on camera?"

"Of course, you're a beautiful woman, so coming to eat at a buffet will definitely attract a lot of viewers."

Xu Mu smiled and looked at Teng Peizhi, saying, "You'll be an internet celebrity from now on!"

"Fine!"

Teng Peizhi didn't seem shy in front of the camera. Instead, she followed Xu Mu's example and tasted the M9 Wagyu beef, saying, "It tastes pretty good."

"I think this price is very reasonable!"

With Xu Mu's encouragement, they took turns filming each new dish as it was served. They weren't doing it to get their money's worth, but to make videos for Douyin (TikTok) and to enjoy the food.

This is different from the style of the Three Unsatisfied Warriors. The Three Unsatisfied Warriors taught the buffet a lesson, but Xu Mu clearly doesn't have that level of skill. Although Xu Mu can eat a lot, he doesn't have that kind of terrifying strength. What if he eats until his stomach sags? Wouldn't that be a disaster?

Therefore, tasting delicious food is Xu Mu's true path.

"Not bad!"

When there was no filming, Xu Mu looked at Teng Peizhi and said, "I didn't expect President Teng to be so perceptive?"

"You learn very quickly!"

"No wonder Zhou Sheng praised you so much!"

Upon hearing Xu Mu's words, Teng Peizhi immediately smiled with satisfaction. "How did President Zhou praise me?"

"They'll say things like, 'You have a strong learning ability, you're smart, you have a good work attitude,' and so on."

"And he promoted you to senior partner first, without asking me. I've told you about this, haven't I?" Xu Mu asked, looking at Teng Peizhi.

"I've already said that, but I still want to thank you. If you hadn't mentioned it to Zhou Sheng, he definitely wouldn't have considered all that. So it's definitely related to you."

Teng Peizhi is not stupid.

Having been in society for so many years, if she didn't understand these basic social skills, then there was no point in her continuing to survive.

She knew that even if Zhou Sheng favored her, it was impossible for her to be promoted to senior partner without discussion and voting, since it was very difficult for a company to have a senior partner.

"clever!"

Xu Mu looked at Teng Peizhi and smiled, "But now that you've become a senior partner, just focus on working hard!"

"I will give you and Zhou Sheng 3% of the shares as an incentive. The remaining 4% will be distributed to other senior executives to provide them with sufficient incentives!"

"That much?"

Do you know how much profit the company makes in a year?

"How much?" Xu Mu really didn't know.

"Seven or eight hundred million!"

“After deducting relevant taxes and fees, we can get a net profit of around 500 million, and there is also a fixed income from the stock market every year! You are giving us so many shares, and we will get at least 10 to 20 million in dividends every year. This ratio is too high!”

"Is that so?" Xu Mu really didn't know anything about the company's operations.

"Are the financial reports really that good?"

“Yeah, wasn’t that why you made the acquisitions? It was all for the profit.” Teng Peizhi looked at Xu Mu curiously. She thought Xu Mu was a bit dull, especially when it came to running the company. He didn’t care about anything else and just made acquisitions without thinking. He bought whatever he could get his hands on.

I don't dwell on that much at all.

"I didn't think too much about it at the time, maybe it was just fate that brought us together!"

"???"

Teng Peizhi raised her exquisite eyes to look at Xu Mu in front of her, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say for a moment, "Did you really not do any analysis at all when you acquired Harvest Venture Capital?"

"Yes, the owner just happened to want to sell, so I bought it!"

"It's very simple, and then fate brought us together here!"

"A coincidence or not?"

"Hehe~~" Teng Peizhi could only laugh dryly and said, "It is quite a coincidence."

The two enjoyed their meal, occasionally filming videos and gathering footage. The meal lasted a full two hours, and Xu Mu thoroughly enjoyed it, feeling completely satisfied.

After eating, Xu Mu and Teng Peizhi slumped in their seats, unable to even drink a drop of beverage.

"Let's rest for a bit, then we'll go."

Judging from the leftovers on Xu Mu's table, he was very satisfied with his meal. He finished half a king crab and had a lot of crab legs left. In addition, he ate ten plates of Wagyu beef, and even more shrimp, salmon, Arctic shrimp, and the like.

This is probably what it feels like to be full and satisfied.

Xu Mu rested contentedly for more than ten minutes before leaving the buffet restaurant with Teng Peizhi.

Xu Mu originally planned to eat Western food, but since Teng Peizhi said she would treat everyone tonight, Xu Mu did not go to a high-end place to eat. A buffet for two people costing 1,500 yuan was already quite good.

Actually, a lower-end restaurant like Yixu would also be fine, but Xu Mu felt that it should be more mid-range so that she could film a Douyin video. In other words, she ate and took some food with her, and not only did she finish the meal, she also filmed some footage!
Feels great, so comfortable!
Leaving the buffet restaurant, Xu Mu looked at Teng Peizhi beside him and said, "Where shall we go for a stroll?"

"By the Huangpu River?"

"Or below the Oriental Pearl Tower?"

"It will be all right."

Teng Peizhi thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, we're nearby, it's quite close."

"How about we park the car at Tomson Riviera and then ride shared bikes there?"

"Okay!" Xu Mu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Whether you're dating or just living a normal life together, sex isn't a necessity, but rather a spice in your relationship. It's more about adding little pleasures to life, like going out for a stroll or taking a walk.

The two held hands, feeling the evening breeze, and chatted about the past and the future.

It's wonderful.

Xu Mu drove back to Tomson Riviera.

After parking the car in the underground garage, Teng Peizhi went to the top floor to change into a dress before going out again with Xu Mu.

She didn't want to wear a business suit when going for a walk with Xu Mu.

At times like these, one should be free and relaxed.

The two left Tomson Riviera and strolled casually down the street, where they could see the three-piece suit across the street from afar.

“I think we don’t need to ride all the way to the other side anymore. I just checked the distance and the three-piece set is right here on our side. The Bund is on the other side. We can go around to the other side of the Bund and take a stroll. It seems like we can see the location of Tomson Riviera from there!”

The Oriental Pearl Tower is to their right.

Xu Mu can see the Oriental Pearl Tower as soon as he looks up.

The three-piece set is quite obvious.

"Yes you can!"

Teng Peizhi held Xu Mu's hand and didn't make many demands.

At this moment, she completely embodied the style of a delicate and refined young lady from Jiangnan, with a face unique to Jiangnan. Combined with her temperament, she looked like an ordinary couple, a young couple strolling through the streets of Shanghai with their boyfriend after work!

"This is the first time I've been shopping here with a guy since I came to Shanghai!"

"Something feels off!"

Teng Peizhi, holding Xu Mu's hand, took the lead and walked ahead.

Looking at Xu Mu strolling leisurely behind her, Teng Peizhi's face was full of happiness.

After being with Xu Mu, she experienced many firsts.

Today was a different experience. If I could stroll around here after get off work and dinner every time, life would be wonderful!
"What's so strange?" Xu Mu looked at Teng Peizhi and asked, "Isn't being with me great?"

"It smells wonderful!" Teng Peizhi nodded heavily. "I feel very happy when I'm with you. And these two times I've been with you, I've experienced many different things in my life, many firsts, which makes me feel like I've been reborn."

Xu Mu knew about Teng Peizhi's past experiences: her father was sick, she lived alone in Shanghai, and her work was just that of a high-class slave!
She seems to be living a good life, but only she knows the hardships and pressures she's under.

Only Xu Mu's appearance changed her life.

"Then you have to live a good life from now on, right?"

"It's time to live life to the fullest!" Teng Peizhi nodded emphatically. "Isn't that what we have here?"

"The only downside is that you can't stay in Shanghai for long periods of time."

"I'm busy with work, what can I do? But after a while, once I expand my business, I might move it to Shanghai!"

Xu Mu thinks Shanghai is pretty good.

At least in big cities, everything from food and drinks to entertainment is high-end.

Moreover, the businesses are very mature. Shanghai has its advantages, and smaller cities have theirs too.

"It's okay, I think I'm fine on my own!"

Teng Peizhi thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you have many female confidantes in Tianji County?"

"correct."

Xu Mu remained silent for a moment, then nodded without denying it.

"I knew it."

Aren't you jealous?

Xu Mu struggled with the decision, but he didn't want to have it both ways, so telling Teng Peizhi directly was the most appropriate thing to do.

"Why should I be jealous? Your appearance changed the trajectory of my life and even allowed me to move into Tomson Riviera, even though Tomson Riviera isn't mine!"

"But you also made me a senior executive, which relieved me of my worries in life. Now my father is also receiving treatment in Shanghai. I think it's great!"

Teng Peizhi understood very well that even if she never got married, it wouldn't be bad if she could continue like this with Xu Mu.

At least, I don't have to worry about money!

She lives a very realistic life and doesn't have much idealism.

They have food to eat, money to spend, and jobs to do.

Moreover, she could sense that Xu Mu wouldn't leave her with no way out, so under these circumstances, Teng Peizhi could live a good life in Shanghai with peace of mind.

You mean getting married and having children?
Teng Peizhi really doesn't care.

Marriage can end in divorce, so what's the point of marriage?
Of course, if Xu Mu really wants to have a child, then she is willing to have a child.

Having a child at least gives her a source of emotional support, and her parents can still be her grandparents. In fact, Teng Peizhi has thought this through very clearly and is very clear-headed about it.

In the first half of her life, after graduation, all she wanted was to meet a guy who would treat her well, give her money, and not have many demands. Xu Mu was even better than she expected and required, which made Teng Peizhi very satisfied.

As for having many female confidantes?
Teng Peizhi didn't care.

It's impossible for an outstanding young man to not have a female confidante.

Teng Peizhi also felt that she didn't have the charm to keep Xu Mu by her side. Rich people have all sorts of ways to have fun, Teng Peizhi knew that, but as long as you keep me in your heart during your time in Shanghai, that's enough!

As it turns out, Xu Mu did just that.

"You're really clear-headed!"

Xu Mu felt that Teng Peizhi was the most clear-headed of all the girls she knew.

She was similar to Bai Xue. Bai Xue was also very clear-headed, but she was more gentle, much gentler than Teng Peizhi. She was like an older sister. Teng Peizhi, on the other hand, was a self-reliant girl in Shanghai. Self-reliant girls all have one thing in common: they have a strong protective shell.

Fortunately, Teng Peizhi wasn't as domineering as one might have imagined in front of Xu Mu.

Sober and strong.

"Isn't being sober a good thing?" Teng Peizhi looked at Xu Mu and asked with a smile, "At least I think being sober is a good thing!"

"Let's go for a walk!"

The two strolled along the Bund, enjoying the evening breeze blowing across the Huangpu River and the neon lights flashing on the opposite bank. Xu Mu felt that life in Shanghai wasn't so bad after all.

Before he had no money, Xu Mu felt that Shanghai was too crowded and not suitable for a poor guy like him to live in. Everyone was running around and doing their best to make a living. But after he had money, Xu Mu truly felt that sense of relaxation. He no longer had to struggle and worry about money!
With a daily income of 80,000 yuan, Xu Mu earns 2.4 million yuan a month. To be honest, even top novelists don't earn that much.

But Xu Mu still insisted on updating every day.

This is probably the only spiritual comfort in the mundane lives of the wealthy.

The two strolled around the Bund, then went to Nanjing Road for a while. Xu Mu started shopping again, buying some small gifts for Teng Peizhi before returning to Tomson Riviera.

After returning to Tomson Riviera, the two did not spend time together. Teng Peizhi was busy dealing with project issues, while Xu Mu turned on his computer and started updating.

"If I write diligently every day, I estimate I can finish it in a week, and then I can start writing a new book!"

Xu Mu thought this tentacle monster's function was really awesome, as if it had an AI chip installed in his head. Whenever Xu Mu wanted to write a genre, an expansion of the plot would automatically appear in his head.

Isn't this a natural-born novel-writing genius? It's comparable to Tiancan Tudou from 2008! You know, when Tiancan Tudou wrote Battle Through the Heavens, Xu Mu wondered if he had a system in his head. How could an 18-year-old boy write such amazing works?

Earning millions a year at eighteen or nineteen?

It’s really an exaggeration!
Xu Mu plans to focus on writing his novel in Shanghai for the next two days and get everything settled before making any further plans.

After that, you can just update it regularly.

Of course, Xu Mu could continue to pad his content to seven or eight million, or even tens of millions of words. With his heavy investment in operations, he might be able to directly win this year's Rookie of the Year and the contract with a top author, since Xu Mu's account only has one book.

The data was entirely generated by a super-rich person.

Number one on the monthly ticket chart and number one on the best-selling chart, who else has this level of achievement?
So what if there are a lot of trolls?
With Xu Mu's superpowers, no one can defeat him.

Even if the bestseller list is full of subscriptions, it doesn't matter, Xu Mu will just shower them with rewards.

They've already thrown their money at the Thousand Alliances Battle for Supremacy.

Seeing the abundance of badges, Xu Mu was quite satisfied.

The comments section was filled with people who came specifically to see the super-rich person.

Because writing a novel is no longer important, it's just ridiculous that a super-rich person would write a novel. Some people still opened the book out of curiosity. Even though Xu Mu's writing wasn't that good, the book became a hit across the entire site and went viral!

A couple of days ago, Xu Mu saw some posts from Qing Zhou, all discussing Xu Mu's book, about how a true top-tier tycoon was spending tens of millions to promote his novel.

"By the way, I could ask Qingzhou to have dinner with me!"

Xu Mu sent a WeChat message to Qingzhou after thinking about it.

"Zhouzhou, let's have lunch together tomorrow."

"Sure!" Qingzhou replied quickly. "Are you in Shanghai?"

"I'll be here for the next few days. My company is near Yuewen Group, just a few hundred meters away. I'll come see you tomorrow!"

"Okay!"

"See you tomorrow then!"

Qingzhou is a nice guy, a slightly chubby young man who seems honest and simple, and he's quite capable as an editor.

After ending her chat with Qingzhou, Xu Mu continued writing.

The constant clicking of the keyboard filled the study like a beautiful melody.

Around 10 o'clock, Xu Mu had written about 200,000 words, and his keyboard was almost worn out.

Xu Mu glanced down at his hand speed just now, and it was incredibly fast, almost like a blur.

Horror!
Even Xu Mu himself was horrified!
Kind of outrageous!

Since Teng Peizhi was almost done with her work, Xu Mu didn't get too engrossed in writing. After all, now that he had the Tentacle Monster skill, Xu Mu didn't have much of an obsession with writing and didn't completely immerse himself in it. However, when he was writing a big update just now, Xu Mu still had a sense of being immersed in the story and enjoying the world and plot he had created.

Very comfortable!
And your writing is getting better and better!
Of course, Xu Mu considered changing the beginning, which might attract more readers.

Just not now.

Instead of making revisions, it's better to just start a new book.

Xu Mu has already decided on her second book: a romance novel!

Xu Mu used to have no dating experience, but now she has plenty of dating experience, and absolutely amazing experience in skirting the line.

Based on these sexual experiences, Xu Mu felt incredibly awesome!
After turning off the computer, Xu Mu didn't linger in the study. Instead, he went back to the bedroom and saw Teng Peizhi lying on the bed playing on her phone.

She was still wearing the long dress she had worn when she left the house.

"are you hungry?"

Xu Mu looked at Teng Peizhi and asked.

"Hmm... I'm a little hungry."

Teng Peizhi turned to Xu Mu and gave him an embarrassed smile. "Shall we go out and get something to eat?"

"There don't seem to be any good restaurants in the city center!"

"How about we order takeout? How about some barbecue? With a few beers? What do you think?"

Xu Mu looked at Teng Peizhi and asked with a smile.

“Sure!” Teng Peizhi nodded. “It’s perfect for sitting in the living room and having some barbecue.”

"Enjoying life while drinking beer!"

"Okay! I'll order then!"

"Go take a shower."

Xu Mu sat on the sofa in the bedroom, enjoying the air conditioning and ordering barbecue on her phone.

Xu Mu didn't order too much; the two of them couldn't eat much.

Moreover, Xu Mu ate quite a lot at the buffet tonight, so she wasn't actually as hungry as she had imagined. However, her stomach started rumbling when she saw the barbecue, since typing so much had taken a toll on her mental energy.

After ordering the barbecue, Xu Mu glanced at the time; it would take forty or fifty minutes for it to arrive.

The distance isn't too far, and the reviews for this shop are so-so, but in Xu Mu's experience, shops with so-so reviews tend to do better business and the food is usually quite good. Those with good reviews are probably just doing takeout and the food isn't very tasty.

"Let's take a bath together with Teng Peizhi!"

Xu Mu thought for a moment, then pushed open the door and walked into the huge bathroom.

Teng Peizhi doesn't have the habit of taking baths, so she was taking a shower inside when Xu Mu quickly took off his clothes and crawled in as well.

Seeing Xu Mu appear out of nowhere, Teng Peizhi was startled. "Ah!"

"Why did you get in?"

Upon seeing that it was Xu Mu, Teng Peizhi still covered her body with some embarrassment.

Even though the two have been completely honest with each other, Teng Peizhi still sometimes can't help but feel shy.

Xu Mu said with a smile, "I just ordered barbecue and was thinking of taking a shower with you."

"We can go out to eat right after we take a shower!"

As Xu Mu spoke, he grasped Teng Peizhi's slender waist and pulled her into his arms.

Teng Peizhi had grown accustomed to Xu Mu's actions; on the contrary, she had become somewhat infatuated with his obsession with her. The more he acted this way, the more it proved her charm. For Teng Peizhi, it was already quite good that she could make Xu Mu happy.

Moreover, she really liked how Xu Mu treated her.

This is probably why it's so easy for beginners to get addicted after trying it out.

Xu Mu glanced at the takeout; it was already downstairs.

However, food delivery cannot be brought up; it is all delivered to the door by the property management.

Xu Mu put on her bathrobe when the phone rang.

It was a call from the property management company.

"Hello, Mr. Xu, your takeout has arrived!"

"Put it on the cabinet by the door for me," Xu Mu said with a smile. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

This is the advantage of high-end residential communities: firstly, the property management is of high quality, and secondly, they are available 24/7, ready to help at any time. Basically, any problem can be solved by contacting the property management. Of course, the annual property management fee is not cheap.

But Xu Mu felt it was acceptable.

Xu Mu opened the door and brought in the takeout food from the doorway.

There was Rio, there was Budweiser, and there was also the barbecue that Xu Mu ordered.

At this moment, Teng Peizhi was sitting on the sofa wearing her own camisole ice silk nightgown.

Xu Mu opened the barbecue grill and the beer bottle, and placed them in front of Teng Peizhi.

"You know what, this kind of life is actually pretty good!"

Xu Mu smiled as she looked at Teng Peizhi sitting in front of her. Her two snow-white, smooth, and delicate thighs hung casually beside the sofa, and she exuded a faint fragrance.

Pretty girls smell nice.

It's so addictive!

"Eat up." Xu Mu opened the beer and placed it in front of Teng Peizhi.

"What a wonderful life!"

Teng Peizhi took the beer from Xu Mu with a bright smile on her face.

The two of them sat in the living room, enjoying barbecue and drinking beer.

Feeling the cool breeze coming from the living room, Teng Peizhi felt that this kind of life was really wonderful. She could go to work during the day and have barbecue with her boyfriend or take a walk together in the evening.

The two sat in the living room, drinking beer and eating barbecue, thoroughly enjoying their life.

After eating for more than an hour, Xu Mu and Teng Peizhi brushed their teeth briefly before returning to their bedroom to sleep.

After two consecutive days of good behavior, Xu Mu didn't bully Teng Peizhi too much tonight. Instead, after a simple routine, he held the fragrant Teng Peizhi and went to sleep.

The next day, Teng Peizhi went to work.

Xu Mu didn't go to the company; instead, she got up and stayed home to write.

During this rare break, Xu Mu didn't want to waste too much time. After getting up and washing up, she sat in her study and started writing.

Xu Mu plans to write every day for the next couple of days, and once he has updated all the chapters, he will start writing a new book.

Because she had made an appointment to have lunch with Qingzhou today, Xu Mu didn't write much and left for Yuewen Group at around 10:30.

"I'm downstairs at your company."

"Are you almost ready to start cooking?" Xu Mu sent Qingzhou a WeChat message.

Editors usually communicate via QQ, but Xu Mu never added Qingzhou on QQ; they contacted each other directly via WeChat.

“More or less.”

Qingzhou replied to the message.

"I'll be waiting for you downstairs in a black Mercedes G-Class."

"Row!"

Xu Mu parked the car on the side of the road, rolled down the window, and lit a cigarette.

He had barely lit the cigarette and hadn't even taken a puff when a girl wearing white knee-high stockings walked over shyly and looked at Xu Mu, saying, "Hey handsome, can I add you on WeChat?"

Xu Mu looked at the young girl, who had the innocent charm of a college student. Xu Mu smiled and said, "Okay."

Xu Mu opened the QR code and let the little girl scan it.

"Brother, your G-Wagon is so cool!"

"Hehe..." Xu Mu chuckled. "Right? But I have a lunch appointment with my colleagues, so I can't let you sit in the passenger seat."

"Then next time!" The little girl didn't insist, but looked at Xu Mu with a smile and said, "Brother, contact me then!"

Xu Mu looked at the friend request sent by the girl and clicked to accept it.

Xu Mu hadn't even finished his cigarette when he saw someone knocking on the passenger window.

Xu Mu rolled down the car window and saw a slightly chubby boy wearing glasses standing by the passenger side door. "Zhouzhou?"

"it's me!"

Xu Mu unlocked the car, and Qingzhou opened the passenger door. A series of crisp mechanical sounds rang out as Qingzhou sat in the passenger seat of Xu Mu's Mercedes-Benz G-Class. "Is this another new car you just bought?"

"Yes?" Xu Mu said with a smile, "Do you like it?"

"I love it!" Qingzhou exclaimed. "A real man drives a G-Wagon, it's incredibly cool."

Qingzhou stroked the passenger seat, a bright smile on her face.

No man can resist the allure of the G-Class.

"Then you drive it!"

Xu Mu got out of the driver's seat and looked at Qingzhou.

"Okay!"

Qingzhou thought about it and agreed.

Reaching the driver's seat, looking at the steering wheel and the white interior, Qingzhou slowly started moving. "So cool!"

"Wow, how much does this car cost?"

Qingzhou was driving, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, clearly a little nervous.

"More than three million, I guess."

"It's okay, just keep pressing the accelerator, the handling is still fine."

"After you finish eating, you can wander around the area around Shanghai. It has a Shanghai license plate anyway."

"Wow, that's amazing! With so much money, why would you even bother writing a novel!"

Qingzhou's tone carried a hint of sourness.

These poor people may never be able to afford a Mercedes-Benz G-Class even if they spend their entire lives trying, unless they actually write a blockbuster novel, in which case they might have a chance to experience it.

"That's different. How would I know you if I didn't write novels?" Xu Mu laughed. "You're the only editor I've met in person! It just goes to show how good our relationship is!"

"Hahaha!"

"I might start a new book next month," Xu Mu said, sitting in the passenger seat and looking at Qingzhou.

"Huh? So fast?"

"I have a lot of drafts saved up," Xu Mu said. "I plan to seriously become a tentacle monster this month and directly launch my new book. I'll see if I can get it published on the Three Rivers Award!"

"Your book is eligible for both the Newcomer King and top-tier author contracts. I'm already trying to secure those for you."

"The Rookie of the Year award will probably be announced in December. If you can get 50,000 average daily subscriptions, you'll be guaranteed the Rookie of the Year and a top-tier contract!"

Qingzhou kept her eyes fixed straight ahead, but she still spoke normally.

"So strong?"

Xu Mu raised an eyebrow. He hadn't really paid attention to his novel's data; he had basically left it all to Wang Mengyan to handle.

Xu Mu herself updated the system regularly, while Wang Mengyan handled all the operational data.

Spending millions a month is nothing to Xu Mu.

This sense of accomplishment was a completely new experience for Xu Mu.

"Of course!"

"We only look at the data, not how you manipulated it. As long as we can make money, that's all that matters to us."

"Moreover, your data also helps my performance, so I will definitely try to get it for you if I can."

Qingzhou smiled and headed to the restaurant Xu Mu had booked, following the location.

This is a private Chinese restaurant, which is slightly inferior to the one I visited last time, but the food is still quite good.

The price is also quite reasonable, averaging around three thousand yuan per person!
After the two sat down, Xu Mu casually ordered six or seven dishes.

Xu Mu looked at Qingzhou seriously and said, "I plan to write a romance novel!"
