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

Chapter 136 Brother, my legs are so sore!
Time comes the next day.

These past few days, Xu Mu has been living a shameless life with Teng Peizhi. After having so many of these days, Xu Mu has become somewhat addicted to this feeling!
However, I still need to write the novel.

After Teng Peizhi left home, Xu Mu did not continue to sleep. Instead, he worked out for two hours at the Tomson Riviera gym before heading to a high-end used car market in Shanghai, intending to buy a Xiaomi Yu7.

Because the YU7 has pink models in stock, it's called something like "flowing gold pink" or something like that.

The power is still quite sufficient, especially the yu7 max version, which has more than 700 horsepower and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just over three seconds. To be honest, this kind of acceleration and the push-back feeling it brings are definitely more impressive than some supercars.

Although it can't compare to Ultra, it's already amazing for this price range.

Xu Mu went to a used car market and looked around, but there were no YU7s in stock. This car is very popular, and as soon as a used one is put on the market, it is basically sold out instantly.

Currently, you have to wait a year for a YU7 to be available, and used ones simply won't appear on social media.

After browsing around, Xu Mu did see some Ultra cars in stock, and they were basically sold within two or three days of arriving that day.

"Hi, are you buying a car for your girlfriend?"

"Yes!" Xu Mu nodded. "Do you have a Yu7 Max with the gold powder version in stock?"

"No, these cars are basically sold out instantly now, there's no way to keep them!" The car dealer shook his head. "If you want one, I can help you find one!"

"no need!"

Xu Mu waved his hand and left the used car store.

After returning to Tomson Riviera, Xu Mu made a call to the salesperson he used to work for at Xiaomi.

"Hey? Brother Zhu, are you busy?"

"We're taking customers for test drives; the YU7 is still quite popular!" Zhu Mao said with a laugh on the phone. "What can I do for you, Mr. Xu?"

"Help me retrieve a car!"

"Let's check my WeChat Moments to see if any car owners want to sell their cars."

“Go ahead!” Zhu Mao said with a smile, “Just a couple of days ago, an Ultra owner asked me if I could help him sell his Ultra.”

"I want to buy a YU7 Max version in gold powder color. The configuration is flexible, but it has to be Max and gold powder color. Of course, the top-of-the-line model would be best."

"I can buy what you don't want at the original price."

"There should be someone selling them. There are a lot of scalpers stuck with these cars. There was a surge in demand for these cars before, but now that almost three months have passed, some scalpers are still trying to snatch them up. I reckon you can get one at the original price!"

"I'm going to post this on my WeChat Moments!"

"Ideally, it should be a car that's already in stock, no need to wait!" Xu Mu was in a hurry, after all, he needed to arrange a car for Teng Peizhi before leaving Shanghai.

Moreover, it was a full payment, so Teng Peizhi didn't have the pressure of repaying a loan.

However, the power of the Yu7 Max is indeed very exaggerated, and its 0-100 km/h acceleration is also ridiculously fast, only a little over three seconds!
To be honest, Xu Mu was scared when she saw it.

If you're not an experienced driver, it's really hard to control.

"understand!"

"By the way, when can I expect to pick up my Ultra?"

"It's already on the cart, probably in about three days! I was just about to send you a WeChat message!"

"Okay! I understand! First, get the Xiaomi YU7 Max gold powder set up for me!"

"Okay! Wait for my message!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Mu continued writing in his study.

Xu Mu didn't go out for lunch either, but instead ordered takeout.

After all, going out to eat is too troublesome for Xu Mu, so it's better to stay at home and write, and enjoy a rare moment of leisure in Shanghai!
After finishing her takeout, Xu Mu was about to start writing when Zhu Mao called.

"Hello? Zhu Sang." Xu Mu answered the phone, smiling as she asked, "Have you found the car?"

"Found it! There's a top-of-the-line, fully-equipped MAX owner who wanted to pick up his car today but doesn't want it anymore. He contacted me saying he can transfer the order at a loss of 10,000 yuan!"

"Because not many people buy the top-of-the-line model, she's willing to sell it at a loss!"

"So it's the carbon fiber stuff?" Xu Mu had seen the configuration list for the Yu7 Max. Some of the carbon fiber items cost extra, and there was also a refrigerator that cost two thousand yuan.

"Yes, we've added almost everything we could, and the wheels are 21 inches. The total cost will be close to 40 yuan, but I think it's just right for you!"

"How so? Should I arrange for you to come over?" Zhu Mao asked with a smile.

“Sure, I’ll transfer you 400,000 yuan. You can buy it for me and drive it to Shanghai.”

"is that OK?"

Xu Mu wasn't in a hurry to go back yet, and the car would be ready to be transferred to Teng Peizhi once it arrived.

Kill two birds with one stone!
“Sure.” Zhu Mao calculated that he still had a few thousand yuan to earn.

Xu Mu transferred 400,000 yuan to Zhu Mao, who then paid in full to take delivery of the car.

Because their sales performance is based on door-to-door delivery, their commission is fixed. Whether it's a loan or a full payment, there's no difference for the salesperson, and there's no rebate. This has led these salespeople to arrange two-year interest-free loans for their customers, with the option to prepay after two years, which is very beneficial for car owners.

"Roger that, boss!"

"I'll arrange everything for you today. You must be in Shanghai tonight!"

"The transfer of ownership will be processed tomorrow."

"OK."

Xu Mu replied with a smile. He liked Zhu Mao's quick-acting sales style and found him very reliable.

After finishing his conversation with Zhu Mao, Xu Mu waited for the car to arrive and then planned to return to Tianji County to pick up his Ultra.

"By the way, can I find someone to handle my Ultra instead of picking it up myself?"

Xu Mu sent another WeChat message to Zhu Mao.

"It's best to do it yourself, since transferring ownership twice will definitely affect the resale value of the used car."

"Okay!" Xu Mu thought for a moment, "Then I'll transfer the money to you and keep the full amount for me."

"Once the car arrives, I'll arrange for someone to hand it over to you." Zhu Mao felt that Xu Mu was incredibly powerful. A boss who could casually produce a million in cash couldn't be anything less than exceptional! Moreover, he had seen Xu Mu's WeChat Moments before. Xu Mu mostly sold turtles and wrote novels, but from reading Xu Mu's novels, he knew that Xu Mu was a top-tier tycoon.

Operating your own novel can generate tens of millions in revenue.

It's really scary.

This investment of tens of millions was a real, substantial sum, unlike financial investments which involve resource exchanges.

This is an exaggeration.

After ending the chat, Xu Mu continued updating his old book, "Living in a Small County, Earning a Million a Year." Xu Mu would not abandon his old book just because the new book was published and the data was better. Finishing what he started was Xu Mu's life motto and principle. Writing a good book is like a person's life and character.

Regardless of whether the data is good or bad, we must continue to persevere.

Of course, more often than not, it comes down to practical matters. If the results aren't good, the book will definitely have to be cut. After all, everyone relies on writing books to make money, and Xu Mu has already gone beyond that. Naturally, he wants to finish writing as soon as possible.

"If that's the case, I can finish publishing all the manuscripts within a month, and my new book will be available a month later. That way, I can still continue to meet the requirement of updating 10,000 words a day!"

However, Xu Mu has an even bigger ambition: to grow the book "Earning a Million a Year in a Small County" to an average subscription of 100,000. This is obviously difficult and would require a lot of accounts. However, given Xu Mu's reputation, it wouldn't be too hard for him to grow the book to 100,000 average subscriptions if he had the money.

If the business hasn't reached 100,000, it must be because Xu Mu doesn't have enough money.

Xu Mu's average daily subscription is already close to 50,000. If the updates keep up, plus some recommendations and rewards, Xu Mu thinks it's no problem to reach 60,000 or 70,000 average daily subscriptions. He also thinks it's not a big problem to find some accounts to subscribe to the book separately. Under these circumstances, reaching 100,000 average daily subscriptions is only a matter of time.

After the old book was updated with 200,000 words, Xu Mu looked at the group chat for a while. They were all very talkative, but most of them were readers and some big names who had not yet started a book.

Basically, top writers like Chen Dong don't speak when they're writing; they only give Xu Mu rewards out of respect.

Of course, Xu Mu also reciprocated by giving Chen Dong a Silver Alliance.

Xu Mu glanced at the new book's backend and saw that it already had 110,000 favorites. So, it was a sure thing that the first subscription would exceed 10,000. Moreover, the battle for the top 100 alliances had already started yesterday, and today it was already aiming to become the leader of the alliances.

Some of this money came from reader donations, while some was given by top-tier authors.

In fact, most of the donations were arranged by Xu Mu himself, as external donations received a discount. Xu Mu directly handed this task over to Cai Mao.

Moreover, there were many comments in just one day, and Xu Mu also needed to arrange the operations staff for them.

"If we keep going, we can break through the Thousand Alliances Challenge tomorrow!"

"If we wait a little longer, we can basically secure the Thousand Alliances Tournament by the next wave of Qidian recharge events!"

Cai Mao sent a message to Xu Mu, still advising him to be more cautious, since he could wait for the recharge event to make his move.

"No problem, just keep charging!"

Xu Mu replied, "Getting it sooner means we can arrange the funds for other things sooner, and the Thousand Alliances Contending for the Deer project won't cost much, at most a million."

One thousand yuan for each alliance leader, a thousand of them would only amount to one million. To be honest, for Xu Mu, it was a piece of cake and nothing to worry about.

"No wonder he's a super-rich guy!"

Upon seeing the WeChat message from Xu Mu, Cai Mao exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, this must be arranged perfectly!"

"Okay." Xu Mu smiled, rested for a while, and then started writing his new book.

When it was time to leave work, Xu Mu drove to pick up Teng Peizhi.

After picking up Teng Peizhi, Xu Mu took her out for a meal, and then the two went to visit a nearby exotic pet exhibition hall.

There are many exotic pets here, including tortoises, lizards, snakes and so on. The variety is quite extensive, but the smell inside is a bit overpowering. Also, this exhibition hall has been open for many years, and business is not as good as I had imagined.

Especially since a ticket costs eighty yuan, Xu Mu didn't mind, after all, there were tortoises inside that Xu Mu liked, especially an Angolan giant tortoise, which alone was worth more than a million yuan, so for Xu Mu, eighty yuan was not a loss.

You can also feed it and take it out to play.

This is a great deal for Xu Mu.

However, their farm in Tianji County cannot raise tortoises because they don't have the necessary permits. Moreover, obtaining such a breeding permit in Zhejiang Province is quite complicated. Besides, they don't really have any interest in raising these things. They might do it for fun, but to actually raise them... is something they simply cannot afford.

The two strolled around for a while and returned to Tomson Riviera around 8 o'clock.

Midway through, Xu Mu sent Zhu Mao his location.

Xu Mu had barely sat down at home when she received a call from Zhu Mao.

"Mr. Xu, we're almost at Tomson Riviera, but damn it, it seems out-of-town cars can't get in! There are traffic restrictions in the city center, and my navigation keeps telling me I've entered a restricted area!"

"The restriction period should be over by now! It's fine," Xu Mu said. "Just drive over."

"It's not a big problem."

"it is good!"

With Xu Mu's suggestion, Zhu Mao didn't hesitate and drove to the entrance of Tomson Riviera.

He then dialed Xu Mu's number.

"Mr. Xu, I've arrived at the door."

"The security guard at the gate told me to call you."

"Give the phone to the security guard," Xu Mu said.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xu?" the security guard asked as he took the phone.

"It's me. This is the salesman. He came to deliver the car to me and then went home."

"Let him in. And while you're at it, help him pull up to my parking spot."

"Roger that!"

Xu Mu hung up the phone, got up and walked out of the study, and saw Teng Peizhi squatting in the living room working.

"Come on, stop working and come out with me for a bit."

I need your help with something!

"Ah? What's the matter?"

Teng Peizhi looked up and asked Xu Mu curiously.

"Just follow me and you'll find out!"

"I definitely won't cheat you!"

Xu Mu pulled Teng Peizhi to the underground parking garage via elevator, but instead of getting into the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Xu Mu stood in the garage waiting.

Teng Peizhi looked at Xu Mu with a puzzled expression, noting that he hadn't gotten into the car but was instead standing in the underground parking garage waiting. "What are you waiting for?"

"It's alright, it'll be quick!"

Xu Mu put his arm around Teng Peizhi's shoulder and waited for about thirty seconds. Then they saw a pink Xiaomi Yu7 Max with its lights on appear at the end of the road and quickly drive towards them.

"A Xiaomi YU7?" Teng Peizhi naturally recognized the Xiaomi YU7. When she saw the car, her eyes lit up. "Where did you get this car? Cars are hard to buy these days!"

Teng Peizhi wasn't stupid. When she saw the car, she knew why Xu Mu had called her down!

This car is clearly a gift to myself, isn't it?

"Yes, you wanted a pink YU7, so I found one for you! Finding a car is easy; as long as you have the money, a car is no problem!"

Xu Mu smiled as he watched yu7max stop in front of the two of them, gently patted Teng Peizhi's waist, and said with a smile, "Go up and experience it!"

"Wow!"

Teng Peizhi covered her mouth, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

She had a vague suspicion that Xu Mu might buy her a car, but she didn't expect him to do it so quickly. They had just chatted casually the other day, and he brought the car over today.

The security guard and Zhu Mao got out of the car together.

Zhu Mao handed the relevant documents to Xu Mu and said, "Mr. Xu, the vehicle registration certificate and other documents related to vehicle delivery are all here!"

"The insurance is all purchased, but the license plate hasn't been registered yet. If you want to register the license plate, I need to contact the Xiaomi distributor in Shanghai and ask them to provide a license plate quota! We can only deliver license plates from Zhejiang Province."

"It's alright, I'll handle this!" Xu Mu took the documents and looked at Zhu Mao, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhu!"

"I'll book you a room at the Hilton Hotel tonight, and we can have a late-night snack together. Get some rest."

"We'll go and complete the transfer of ownership tomorrow!"

"Sure!" Zhu Mao rushed over after get off work, so he hasn't had dinner yet.

Xu Mu looked at Teng Peizhi and said, "Zhizhi, park the car in the parking space. I'll take you to transfer the ownership tomorrow. After the transfer, the car will belong to you."

"There's plenty of time to experience it."

"Let's treat Mr. Zhu to a meal first. After all, he drove all the way here to deliver the car, which is quite a lot of work for him."

"it is good!"

Teng Peizhi nodded sensibly and parked the car in the parking space.

The three then drove their Mercedes-Benz G-Class out the door and headed to a nearby barbecue stall for a meal.

Teng Peizhi can drive, so Xu Mu and Zhu Mao had some drinks.

"Mr. Xu, you're really powerful. You live in Tomson Riviera and drive a Mercedes-Benz G-Class. We salespeople can't even come close!"

"What's the big deal?" Xu Mu smiled and took a sip of beer. "Whether you're strong or not, everyone has their own way of living."

"I'm just an ordinary person, there's nothing to care about."

"Mr. Xu is the only person I've ever met who is so rich yet so casual!" Zhu Mao has met many wealthy people who come to Xiaomi to test drive or buy cars, such as Ultra owners. Sixty percent of them are from wealthy families and are buying cars for their sons.

Or perhaps they've made money in e-commerce and are now asking about Ultra.

Whether it's his attitude or tone of voice, he always had a condescending air about him. But Zhu Mao didn't sense any arrogance from Xu Mu. Despite being so rich, worth hundreds of billions, he could still sit with a small salesman like himself at a roadside stall eating barbecue.

With this attitude, Zhu Mao felt that Xu Mu's success was inevitable.

Some people become arrogant after achieving success and easily give everything back, but Xu Mu is different. Xu Mu's personality is destined to make him more and more successful.

Because Xu Mu's casualness carries an aura, a quality that is truly integrated into life.

Zhu Mao has met many, many people in sales. There are some who are difficult to deal with, and some who are easy to talk to, but people like Xu Mu are very, very rare.

"I just don't want to complicate interpersonal relationships too much. After all, people respect me, and I respect them in return. If everyone respects each other, that's about it. So there's no such thing as being casual or not!"

Xu Mu chuckled and clinked his glass with Zhu Mao's, then said with a smile, "Thank you for delivering the car!"

"I'll transfer you five thousand yuan as compensation for your lost wages!"

"I'll need you to get everything sorted out tomorrow."

"If you have access to Shanghai license plates, that would be ideal!" "Don't worry, Mr. Xu!" Zhu Mao's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Mu offer him 5,000 yuan as a reward. He quickly raised his glass to toast Xu Mu and said, "I'll definitely handle everything properly before I go back!"

"Row!"

After treating Zhu Mao to a late-night snack, Xu Mu listened to some interesting stories about picking up the car from Zhu Mao before taking him to the Hilton Hotel next door to check in.

Back at Tomson Riviera, Xu Mu took a shower.

The next morning, Teng Peizhi got up first. When she went to the bathroom to wash up, she saw a clear hickey on her neck and gave a shy smile. However, after thinking for a moment, she did not try to hide it. Instead, she straightened her clothes and walked out the door confidently.

However, she needs to take the morning off, as she will be handling the transfer of ownership later.

Since Xu Mu was still asleep, Teng Peizhi had to contact Zhu Mao herself.

"Mr. Zhu, I'm already up."

"Mr. Xu is still sleeping. Let's go directly to transfer the property. It should be quick, right?" Teng Peizhi had specifically left Zhu Mao's phone number last night so that she could contact him if there were any problems in the future.

Zhu Mao was naturally delighted; being able to make connections in Shanghai was a good thing for him.

Regardless of whether I can buy a car in the future, this kind of network of connections can provide me with help someday, even if it's intangible.

Or if one day I don't want to do sales anymore, I can use this connection to find a good job, which is definitely much better than struggling alone in society.

"Ok!"

Teng Peizhi drove Xu Mu's Mercedes-Benz G-Class out of Tomson Riviera and picked up Zhu Mao at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel.

"Miss Teng, we need to drive the Y7 over there."

"You also need the license plate and driver's license!"

"Ah!" Teng Peizhi was stunned. "I don't know."

"It's okay, we can just go back and change cars."

"I searched for nearby vehicle management offices, and they're only five kilometers away from here, so it won't have much of an impact on picking up the car and registering it."

"Last night I contacted a friend in Shanghai who deals with Shanghai license plates. It only costs 2,000 yuan to get a Shanghai license plate, and the plate itself is free. However, you'll need to pay him a handling fee!"

To put it bluntly, this so-called handling fee is just a brokerage fee for scalpers. However, to be honest, getting a Shanghai license plate for two thousand yuan is just a drop in the bucket for Teng Peizhi.

“Yes, that’s fine.” Teng Peizhi nodded. “This should be given to them.”

The two returned to the underground parking garage, changed cars, and then drove the Yu7 Max to the vehicle management office.

Today was a workday at the vehicle management office, and the two of them arrived early. Soon it was their turn to have their photos taken, get temporary license plates, and choose their license plates.

The license plate was handled by a scalper, but you can still choose the location. It just took half an hour to change the location from Zhejiang Province to Shanghai, but scalpers have plenty of ways to do it.

At 10:30 a.m., the two of them drove the yu7max, which was still on temporary license plates, out of the vehicle management office.

The vehicle registration certificate has been obtained, and the name on the green book has been changed to Teng Peizhi.

"President Teng, President Xu is really good to you!"

Zhu Mao said enviously.

"Yes, he's really good to me, and I was quite surprised." Teng Peizhi couldn't help but smile as she thought of the surprise Xu Mu had given her. "He asked me if I wanted the YU7, and I said no, but he got it for me yesterday!"

"It'll only take a few hours! He really cares about me!"

When talking about this, Teng Peizhi's eyes shone with happiness.

"Mr. Xu is a very good person."

After talking with Xu Mu last night, Zhu Mao felt a unique personal charm emanating from Xu Mu. This is not something that ordinary people can possess. Perhaps only Xu Mu has this kind of personal charm?
"Mr. Teng, just leave it on the side of the road for me. I'll take a taxi directly to the high-speed rail station and go back!"

"Please tell Mr. Xu when you get back that his Ultra silver car with the cutouts is about to be delivered, and that he still needs to go to the handover center to pick it up," Zhu Mao instructed Teng Peizhi before getting out of the car.

"I see."

"I'll talk to him!"

Teng Peizhi nodded, parked her car at the entrance, told the security guard to register her license plate, and then drove into the underground parking garage.

The security guard knew about the pink YU7 MAX; Xu Mu had already spoken to him yesterday.

So Teng Peizhi said that recording the license plate number was no problem at all.

Moreover, in the past two days, he had seen Teng Peizhi and Xu Mu walking in and out of the community hand in hand. As security guards at Tomson Riviera, they needed to have this kind of memory, otherwise mistaking or forgetting a homeowner would be a big problem.

The security guard is doing a terrible job!
When she got home, Teng Peizhi saw that Xu Mu was still sleeping, so she didn't disturb him. Instead, she carried her LV bag and drove her new car to the company.

Driving her new car, Teng Peizhi felt much happier.

After parking the car, Teng Peizhi felt she needed to ask Zhou Sheng to get her a parking space.

This is my own little pink car, it absolutely deserves its own parking space.

Upon arriving upstairs and at the company, the receptionist, who is the face of Harvest Venture Capital, greeted Teng Peizhi warmly, "President Teng! Good morning!"

"Good morning!"

Teng Peizhi smiled at the receptionist and then nodded slightly.

The receptionist was stunned. Teng Peizhi, who was usually so aloof, was actually smiling today? Wait a minute... The receptionist then noticed four red marks on Teng Peizhi's neck. These marks weren't from heatstroke or cupping therapy; they were clearly hickeys!

As someone who's been there, the receptionist knows it all too well!

"Damn it!"

Breaking news! President Teng has four hickeys on his neck!

"Holy crap! And she even smiled at me today!"

"hiss!"

The moment the receptionist sent out the message, the entire group chat exploded.

"real or fake?"

"Let me see!"

Upon receiving the message from the front desk, they immediately looked up at Teng Peizhi, who was walking in from the company entrance. Because Teng Peizhi's private office was located through the public office area, everyone's attention immediately fell on Teng Peizhi's snow-white, swan-like neck after seeing the message from the front desk.

Previously, Teng Peizhi's neck was always snow-white, but today there are four hickeys in different locations on her neck. These hickeys are individual marks, unlike the complete patches that appear after gua sha (scraping therapy). So!!!

Did Mr. Xu give Mr. Teng a hickey last night?

Everyone at the scene went wild, frantically sending messages in the group chat, and the sound of typing on keyboards became much more frequent. To the uninitiated, it would seem as if they had suddenly become enthusiastic about work, pounding away on their keyboards and dramatically increasing their work efficiency.

Everyone was shocked and watching the drama unfold, but Lin Tai was the only one who was completely taken aback.

He was already heartbroken yesterday when he learned that Teng Peizhi was dating Xu Mu and living in Tomson Riviera. Now, seeing the four hickeys on Teng Peizhi's neck only confirmed that Teng Peizhi and Xu Mu were doing those fantasies in the Tomson Riviera penthouse last night.

Lin Tai even considered quitting his job.

What’s the point of living?
Defensive!
Break the defense!
Teng Peizhi arrived at her office, put down her bag, and began her workday.

As a senior partner, Teng Peizhi now has more work to handle than just finance. However, she has two junior assistants in the office who help her with the finance work, which makes things much easier for her.

"Sister Teng, just between you and Mr. Xu, are you really living together now?"

"Hmm." When Teng Peizhi heard her little apprentice ask that question, she thought for a moment, but didn't say anything more, just nodded gently.

"Wow! You guys have developed so fast!" The apprentice exclaimed with envy and shock. "You're actually living in Tomson Riviera."

“I originally rented an apartment, but he’s in Shanghai these past few days, so I’m staying at Tomson Riviera thanks to him. I’ll probably move back to my own apartment once he goes back.”

After all, Xu Mu had rented that house for her for three years.

Furthermore, to be honest, Teng Peizhi was not used to living alone in Tomson Riviera. After all, such a large penthouse was really hard to get used to, and the emptiness only made her miss every day with Xu Mu. But if she lived in her own little nest, even a small place could have its own independent warmth.

"That's it!"

"How wonderful!"

The young apprentice gave an envious smile.

"I'm so envious!"

"What's there to envy?" Teng Peizhi looked at her little apprentice and asked with a smile. "There's nothing to envy. Love is about mutual consent. As long as two people are comfortable together, that's enough. Before, I thought I had to find someone who was good to me, someone who was like that. But after meeting President Xu, I realized that President Xu is the one."

"Even though he's very busy, when he's with me, he'll stay with me all the time, not dealing with work, and we'll go for walks and have meals together!"

"Let's go shopping!"

"Dating is just about the mundane things in life; as long as the two of you can get through it, that's fine!"

Teng Peizhi and Xu Mu are both quite mature, so they are not as hesitant about dating as others. On the contrary, they each have their own careers, and they can spend time together when they have free time, and each do their own thing when they are busy.

This is also the kind of love that Teng Peizhi imagines!

"so good!"

The two apprentices were thoroughly enjoying the gossip. They had initially thought Teng Peizhi was going to scold them with cold words, but to their surprise, Teng Peizhi was all smiles and willing to discuss relationship issues with them. This must be what love is all about – it can change a person!
Flowers blooming in the desert—that's probably the idea behind it.

How could Teng Peizhi have spoken to them like that before?

But now Teng Peizhi seems like a completely different person.

Not only has she become more outgoing, but she can also chat and laugh with them, especially since the hickeys on her neck are very noticeable.

"Don't even mention it, I'm so envious!"

"Haha!" Teng Peizhi laughed and said, "Alright, you guys get back to work."

Xu Mu stayed home and slept until she naturally woke up, and then began her workday.

However, after finishing writing all the content for the new book, Xu Mu thought for a moment and contacted Cai Gou.

Where in Pudong are you?

"I'll send you my location, brother!"

"Ok!"

Xu Mu sent Teng Peizhi a WeChat message: "I won't be picking you up this afternoon. I have to go to Pudong. I have a client there to meet!"

"Ok!"

Afterwards, Xu Mu drove his G-Wagon to the location provided by Cai Gou.

After all, Xu Mu still had some expectations for this kind of JK mature woman. She was good at games, pretty, and had a nice voice. She was a deadbeat. Even though she was a deadbeat, Xu Mu thought her mature voice was pretty good!
More than half an hour later, Xu Mu arrived at the location where Cai Gou was located, which was a residential area.

Xu Mu parked his car in the underground garage and sent a WeChat message to Cai Gou.

"I'm in your underground parking garage, in Building E. You'll see my G-Wagon when you come down!"

Actually, Xu Mu didn't have many biases towards girls like Cai Gou.

It's just for fun, after all.

Therefore, Xu Mu had no burden at all.

"Ok!"

Cai Gou replied to the message. After waiting for about three minutes, Xu Mu saw a tall girl with a mature and elegant face, wearing a JK uniform and carrying a cute brown bag, walking towards the G-Class. Xu Mu rolled down the car window and looked at the mature woman, asking, "Cai Gou?"

"It's me. Are you Xu Mu, my healer brother?" Cai Gou asked Xu Mu with a sweet smile.

"it's me!"

"Get in the car!"

Xu Mu looked at the stray dog ​​and greeted it with a smile.

Then, Cai Gou got into the passenger seat of Xu Mu's car.

Wow, brother, you still have a temporary license plate in Shanghai! Is this a brand new car you just bought?

The novice dog looked at the interior of the G-Class and couldn't help but stroke it.

After all, during the time she worked as a gaming companion, it wasn't that no one asked her out to dinner. They all drove Mercedes-Benz C-Class or Xiaomi SU7. It wasn't that they didn't have proper meals and conversations, but their intentions were all too clear and not subtle at all. They weren't handsome either, and they just thought that because they had some money in their pockets, they could ask her out.

Cai Gou had only casually quoted a price of 10,000 yuan a night, and they hesitated for a long time. Cai Gou knew that these people were just talking and it was completely meaningless.

"Yes!" Xu Mu drove out of the underground parking garage. "Are there any shopping malls nearby?"

"There's a Yintai in this town, the largest Yintai in Shanghai. There shouldn't be too many cars this afternoon!"

"Row!"

Xu Mu nodded and navigated to Yintai, which was only about three kilometers away from where Cai Gou lived.

"Brother, will you be staying here tonight?"

Cai Gou looked at Xu Mu and asked curiously.

She was dressed quite cutely today, with her hair in pigtails, wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a blue bow, and a light pink plaid JK skirt. Her skirt was so short that if she moved slightly while sitting in the passenger seat, the hem would almost reach her upper thighs.

Besides that, there were her calves covered in black over-the-knee stockings, which reached just to the hem of her skirt, revealing a large expanse of smooth, white thighs.

On her feet were a pair of brown leather shoes!
However, this cute outfit doesn't quite match her slightly mature face.

"I might have to go back!"

Xu Mu didn't give a definitive answer. To put it bluntly, it depended on how the novice performed. If the novice performed well, Xu Mu would naturally stay.

"But I still want to play games with my brother all night long!"

Cai Gou looked at Xu Mu with an adorable expression.

"Sure!" Xu Mu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Let's book an e-sports hotel so we can duo queue and rank up!"

"Let's go to Yintai first, then I'll treat you to dinner and we can go shopping!"

Xu Mu looked at the dog and said with a smile.

Because the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has a standard column shifter in the Mercedes-Benz series, there is no gear lever or anything in the middle position, so Xu Mu just casually placed his arm on the center console.

Cai Gou stood with her legs together, presenting her thighs to Xu Mu. If Xu Mu wanted to lift Cai Gou's skirt, she would probably half-heartedly agree, except to pretend to be modest and say no. However, Xu Mu would not do something so tasteless.

The two chatted in the car, and Xu Mu learned that Cai Gou's name was Lai Guimei, a rather unusual surname that Xu Mu had never heard of before.

"It's a good name!"

Xu Mu indeed thought it was pretty good; he'd never heard of it before.

"Hehe, thank you, brother!"

Lai Guimei turned to look at Xu Mu and said with a grin, "Brother, what are we going to eat?"

"What do you want to eat?"

Hot pot, barbecue, either way is fine!

Xu Mu wasn't particularly interested in food, since the theme for tonight had already been decided. When Xu Mu mentioned the e-sports hotel earlier, Lai Guimei didn't react unusually.

Based on Xu Mu's many years of experience, Lai Guimei either had experience with this kind of thing before, or she was the kind of person who was waiting for a higher price to go.

Xu Mu couldn't make a judgment, after all, given Lai Guimei's looks and appearance, it was hard to say whether she was the kind of person who kept herself pure and virtuous.

Moreover, the gaming companion industry is, to be honest, quite chaotic.

"Let's have hot pot then!"

"I want to eat at Haidilao!"

Lai Guimei looked at Xu Mu with a sweet smile.

Xu Mu led Lai Guimei to the underground parking garage. After parking the car, the two took the elevator to the fourth floor.

Upon arriving at Haidilao, Xu Mu and Lai Guimei sat facing each other. However, after the food was served, Lai Guimei suddenly looked at Xu Mu and said, "Brother, can I sit with you? My legs are a little sore!"

"Could you press this for me?"

Lai Guimei blinked her exquisite big eyes and looked at Xu Mu, asking a question.

"sure!"

Xu Mu did not refuse, and Lai Guimei quickly stood up and sat down next to Xu Mu with a smile, but she deliberately stepped into the inner seat.

Then, she placed her legs, which were covered in over-the-knee black stockings, on Xu Mu's thighs.

"Brother, this spot is sour!"
