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

Chapter 146 Punishment
"Sister Ye means to leave it vacant. After all, the rent has been paid, and it wouldn't be appropriate to suddenly stop renting it out. We also spent a lot of money on the renovations!"

"That place also serves as an office, used for receiving clients. We can send a few people to stay there!"

"Or we could leave the Douyin department there and move all the other design teams here!"

"Because the Douyin department needs to go out, and also because that location faces the main street, we can receive customers there!"

"This area is specifically reserved for the design and technical team, because they need a quiet environment since they design every day. Some employees have already mentioned in the group chat that there are too many people coming and going, which affects their creative process!"

"Once we move here, we plan to keep them separate to ensure their creative inspiration!"

Shen Yuting showed Xu Mu around the office area, talking as they walked.

All the computers in this office area are top-of-the-line!
This renovation alone cost Xu Mu nearly two million.

These hard furnishings alone will cost close to a million.

Office computers are all high-end, especially for those who do design work, as they all need to do rendering and so on. Therefore, the graphics cards definitely need to be high-end, so the computers are basically no less than 20,000 yuan. Some ordinary office computers are only 5,000 yuan each.

But a standard computer costing 5,000 yuan is actually quite good, and the monitor is 27 inches.

"Not bad!"

Despite spending a lot of money, Xu Mu felt that the investment was worthwhile.

Moreover, Lingmu Design Company is currently profitable, so it doesn't matter if all the previous investment funds are used for renovation.

If there is no money, Tang Ruobing, as a shareholder, can still invest more.

There's still ten million in the card!

Tang Ruobing said, "There's no way I can spend all of it!"

"This is the office area, a separate space with a view of the outside scenery."

"Next to the office area is a 50-square-meter rest area. The rest area has sofas, a coffee machine, and drinks. In winter, you can have hot drinks, and in summer, you can have cold drinks. We've inquired, and this setup is top-of-the-line in a small county!"

"No other company is as high-end and classy as us, so Sister Ye has raised the requirements for recruitment a lot now!"

“Definitely,” Xu Mu said. “It’s not some small company that hires just anyone. To be honest, this kind of office environment is comparable to those high-end companies in Shanghai. Drinks are self-service! It must cost a lot of money every month!”

"So, the business we handle is mostly high-end, so the profit margin isn't that low. If you have a large volume of business, it can actually be very profitable!"

"You know that?" Xu Mu looked at Shen Yuting with some surprise.

This means they've infiltrated the company!

"Of course!"

Shen Yuting chuckled and said in a low voice, "When you're not home, I always stay with Sister Ye. We eat together and stuff. She takes good care of me, and sometimes she talks to me about company matters!"

"After all, we are family!"

"That's true!" Xu Mu ruffled Shen Yuting's hair and said, "Let's go and take a look at the other office areas."

Xu Mu then followed Shen Yuting to tour the company's private offices.

There is Ye Muling's private office here, as well as offices for senior executives.

As Ye Muling's company grows, it will definitely need to develop senior executives and establish a company structure, which will require independent offices.

In addition, the finance department and human resources department are separate and independent.

Each department must be separated and not mixed together. Otherwise, if colleagues in the company know each other, it will not be very friendly to the company's management!
Suppose someone wants to leave the company, and someone they have a good relationship with takes another person with them when they leave.

This isn't something that hasn't happened before; it's quite common.

Although there are no true friends in the workplace, who knows if you might meet one?

After visiting Lingmu Design Company on the seventh floor.

The entire floor belongs to Lingmu Design Company, resulting in many areas being vacant, at least for now, and needing to be filled in later!

Moreover, there is no gym inside Lingmu Design Company, unlike the thirteenth floor where Xu Mu specially arranged a gym area.

Strictly speaking, Ye Muling runs the company honestly, but Xu Mu is actually just dabbling in it.

"Are there cleaners cleaning here too?"

"Yeah, I'm running back and forth between the two floors right now!"

"You can move in here after National Day!"

"Sure." Xu Mu nodded slightly.

This place isn't as big as Lingmu Design Company.

There are four companies in total, separated by partitions, and of course, the boss is the same person, Xu Mu.

"Isn't the law firm's sign up?"

"No! It's all just finished with basic renovations, but there's no company name on it. Isn't this your company, brother? So I didn't arrange anything!"

"Understood!" Xu Mu nodded slightly.

"Let me show you around my office!"

"I see it!" Shen Yuting suddenly exclaimed, "Is there a secret room inside?"

"You know this as well?"

Xu Mu raised an eyebrow slightly, puzzled.

"Of course, I have the design drawings. When I went into the office, I found something was wrong. I discovered a hidden door, and inside there was a small bedroom, about twenty square meters, and a bathroom!"

"Brother, you've been hiding this so well! Are you planning to keep a mistress hidden away in the future?"

Shen Yuting looked at Xu Mu with a teasing expression, her tone tinged with a hint of sourness.

"I've been hiding you like this!" Xu Mu hugged Shen Yuting and went straight into the inner room.

"Only you know about this inner room, right?"

"Of course! I'm here every day!" Shen Yuting said proudly, tilting her head back. "And I even took the initiative to help you decorate this place!"

Xu Mu then realized that all the curtains, bedding sets, and shower gels in the bathroom had already been purchased!

"and……"

"Brother, look!"

Shen Yuting opened the wardrobe next to the bed.

"Boom!"

Shen Yuting even added a sound effect, "Surprised?"

"I bought a lot of things here!"

"I cleaned this room myself, and there are many little surprises inside!"

Then, Xu Mu stood behind Shen Yuting and saw that the wardrobe was full of all kinds of clothes, and they were all complete sets.

For example, bunny girls, maids, JK uniforms, flight attendant uniforms... In short, Shen Yuting bought almost every kind of clothing available on the market, as well as various kinds of stockings folded under the clothes.

It was packed to the brim!

"And here!"

Shen Yuting opened the drawer under the wardrobe.

It was filled with Smurfs.

There are all kinds of Smurfs!

"..."

Xu Mu was speechless upon seeing this scene!

"Brother, how was it? Were you surprised? Were you taken aback?" Shen Yuting looked at Xu Mu with a grin, giving him a look that said, "Praise me!"

"You're amazing!" Xu Mu smiled at Shen Yuting. "Now that you know this secret, shouldn't you help your brother keep it a secret?"

Xu Mu suddenly stepped forward, approaching Shen Yuting and gradually forcing her into the wardrobe.

With a thud, Shen Yuting sat down on the stockings in the wardrobe.

Her eyes held a hint of expectation, and her pretty face was slightly flushed...

"I...I will definitely keep my brother's secret!"

Xu Mu looked down at Shen Yuting, pinching her chin, "Really?"

"I think the best way to keep a secret is to shut you up!"

"Little sister, what do you think?"

"Well……"

Before Shen Yuting could speak, Xu Mu kissed her red lips, which were painted with lipstick.

Shen Yuting's life is completely different now. She has started using skincare and makeup products, and for some reason, she looks even more stunning and beautiful with makeup on, exuding a natural charm.

Is this what they call a naturally gifted body for makeup?
Shen Yuting's beautiful eyes widened. After only a brief moment of stunned silence, she took the initiative to hook her arms around Xu Mu's neck. She had thought it was something about closing her mouth. So this is what closing her mouth means. She really wished she could close her mouth every day, preferably every moment.

She really loves kissing Xu Mu.

Xu Mu's technique was excellent, but Shen Yuting was not to be outdone.

After fighting for seven or eight minutes, Shen Yuting was defeated. After all, she was not as strong as Xu Mu. Under Xu Mu's strong offensive, Shen Yuting had already lost!

"Shall we take a shower together?" Xu Mu said softly, pressing his forehead against Shen Yuting's.

"No...no, you go first!"

"I'll give you a surprise later!"

"Please, brother!"

Shen Yuting bit her red lips, which had been stained with lipstick, and spoke softly with a hint of allure in her eyes.

Xu Mu smiled and nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll take a shower first!"

There is only one toilet and one shower room here.

All that's left is the bed and the wardrobe.

The decor is similar to that of a hotel, except that there are two doors leading to two offices.

Xu Mu took a quick shower, since he had already showered at the gym. He had only intended to look around, but he never expected that Shen Yuting would discover his little secret.

Since that's the case, then this little sister needs to be severely punished.

Otherwise, if she finds out my secret, she'll become emboldened and act recklessly!
After a quick shower, Xu Mu walked out of the bathroom and saw Shen Yuting changing her clothes!
Upon seeing Xu Mu emerge, Shen Yuting screamed, clutching her chest and shouting, "Brother, come inside quickly!"

"I haven't prepared a surprise for you yet!"

"Go take a shower first, and I'll wait for you outside after you're done!"

"That's good enough!"

"Well……"

It seems reasonable.

Shen Yuting nodded gently. Her head was still spinning from Xu Mu's kiss, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.
"Alright, I'll wait for you in my office!"

Xu Mu, wearing a bathrobe, walked out of the office.

Since both offices had already been cleaned, Xu Mu only needed to cover up the glass of the transparent office.

Standing in front of the glass, Xu Mu could see the cleaning staff working diligently outside. He casually closed the blinds, then sat down at his desk and turned on his computer.

Since Shen Yuting probably wouldn't be able to shower quickly, Xu Mu simply downloaded some games.

Because it was the company network, and connected via wired Ethernet, the download speed of League of Legends was incredibly fast, like a rocket.

Just as Xu Mu finished downloading and was about to log in, Shen Yuting sent him a message.

"Brother...I'm all better!"

"so fast?"

Xu Mu glanced at the time: fifteen minutes!

Well enough!
As Xu Mu entered the inner room, he saw Shen Yuting wearing an extremely short JK skirt, with her long, straight, fair legs wrapped in black stockings, creating a very strong visual impact.

Her legs were already long, and with the black stockings covering them, plus the exposed half of her thighs, they were as white and tender as lotus roots.

The black stockings are paired with a pure white thong bra, creating a very strong visual impact from the black and white combination.

Her upper body was covered by a white cropped shirt, the hem of which barely reached her soft skin. Xu Mu could see most of her soft skin as soon as she raised her hands.

And most importantly, Shen Yuting possesses a purity that no one else has. Her face and the aura she exudes make her exceptionally alluring.

"Brother...do you like it?" Shen Yuting lowered her head slightly, her pretty face flushed, her hands clutching the hem of her skirt, exuding girlish shyness and innocence.

Xu Mu smiled but did not answer Shen Yuting's question.

Instead, he went to Shen Yuting, pulled her into his arms, and then kissed her red lips.

Xu Mu will demonstrate his love for Shen Yuting through his actions.

Xu Mu understands everything about her, both internally and externally!

By the time the two of them were resting in bed, the sky outside the window had darkened considerably. In the distance, they could see the Moon Bridge spanning Shifeng Lake, its lights shining brightly, and they could vaguely see some people walking on it.

In fact, since the opening of Zhexi Old Street, there are hardly any people coming to Shifeng Lake and Yueqiao for a stroll.

Why would you come to a godforsaken place like Yueqiao when you can stroll and eat at Zhexi Old Street?
There are no places to spend money on Moon Bridge.

There were only some roadside stalls and people who usually came to sing.

Xu Mu stood up and stood in front of the French windows, looking at the Moon Bridge not far away!

At this moment, Shen Yuting lay limply on the huge bed.

"Are you hungry?" Xu Mu turned to look at Shen Yuting and asked softly.

"I'm hungry, brother!"

"very hungry!"

Such high-intensity exercise was still a bit too much for Shen Yuting.

"Okay, then I'll carry you to take a bath."

"Let's go have dinner after we take a shower!"

What do you want to eat?

Xu Mu looked at Shen Yuting and asked softly.

Shen Yuting thought for a moment, then said softly, "Brother, I want to eat barbecue!"

"Sure, there's a pretty good barbecue place in Xiang Sheng, called 'Meat Three Ounces'!"

Xu Mu took Shen Yuting for a quick shower.

Then, Xu Mu watched Shen Yuting get dressed with an appreciative look.

"Brother, stop looking!"

"I'm shy!"

"What's there to be shy about!" Xu Mu stood up and slapped Shen Yuting's shapely buttocks. "This is your punishment for discovering my secret hideout!"
