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

Chapter 89: One Million Sold (20 First Subscription Requested!)

"Sorry, no thanks."

After Xu Mu finished speaking, he started the car and left the scene.

Upon arriving at the turtle farm, Bao Yong, Wang Qiang, and Wang Xiao were already busy at work.

Xu Mu had no idea what they were busy with.

But they look very busy.

What are you all busy with?

"Some turtles were bitten after they came back."

"The new environment is more dangerous, which makes it easier for bites and other problems to occur... But thankfully, the problem has been resolved."

Wang Xiao wasn't worried; as long as he followed his method, this situation could be avoided!
That is to reduce density.

In addition, there are many artificial aquatic plants inside.

"So that's how it is... Wang Qiang, have you started working on this live stream yet?"

"We're doing it! We're doing it!"

Wang Qiang was holding his phone, livestreaming his daily life at the turtle farm.

"Remember to link it to a vehicle, or transfer it to a private domain for the transaction."

"I'll set a goal for you: close a deal for one million! Is that okay?"

"Holy crap, such high revenue right from the start?" Wang Qiang's eyes widened in shock upon hearing Xu Mu's words. "We've only just begun!"

"So what if it's just the beginning? As long as we have a wide selection, are you worried about a lack of buyers?" Xu Mu patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Keep it up! I believe in you! Otherwise, how could we possibly keep so many turtles in our turtle farm? We definitely need to generate a steady flow of customers..."

Xu Mu didn't want Wang Qiang to start working so soon.

But there are requirements for the task.

Xu Mu was asked to support Wang Qiang's business venture and achieve a turnover of one million.

What can be done?
Although the turtle farm belongs to them, the live streaming department was specially established by Xu Mu, and Xu Mu strictly follows the system's requirements to carry out tasks.

Furthermore, this turtle farm's live-streaming sales are also a startup project!
It's the same as Wang Qiang finding projects on his own.

They simply provided this startup project.

"Fine! If that's how you put it, I guess I'll just have to try my best!"

Wang Qiang said with a smile, "Right now we can only do a casual live stream, but once our live stream room is set up, we can start a proper live stream."

"By the way, what's the after-sales service like for selling turtles?"

"We guarantee a three-day warranty. If there are any problems, we will provide after-sales service within one day. After three days, there will be no after-sales service."

Xu Mu spoke up in front of the live stream audience, "Because some beginners can't keep turtles properly, they might mess things up and kill them. We can't accept situations like yours..."

"That's true!"

After spending some time at the turtle farm, Xu Mu drove to Lingmu Design Company.

After parking the car nearby, Xu Mu glanced at the royalties that had been deposited into her account last month.

Because the publication fee on Qidian is fixed at the 12th.

Xu Mu has been busy since she got up and hasn't had time to check her text messages.

"Tsk... Was it that crazy last month? Over 300,000 copies? Looks like this book is really popular!"

Of course, this "fire" needs to be put in quotation marks, since Xu Mu made Wang Mengyan spend a lot of money to run it.

However, the data from this operation still satisfied Xu Mu.

In the past, Xu Mu wrote books to make a living, since everyone said that the online novel industry was lucrative. However, after writing, Xu Mu realized that making money in the online novel industry was really difficult... It was extremely difficult to write a hit novel.

In fact, it's hard to make a living. Back then, Xu Mu's first order was fifty yuan, and he only earned five hundred yuan a month if he wrote ten thousand.

What the hell is this writing...?

Fortunately, Xu Mu obtained the system, so writing books can now be cultivated as a hobby.

Xu Mu remained seated in the car, not in a hurry to get out.

Instead, he transferred 500,000 yuan to his mother.

"Mom, I got my royalties from last month's writing."

"My book has become a huge hit, and I might earn over a million yuan in the future!"

Xu Mu was obviously making things up; he just wanted an excuse to transfer money to his mother.

To be honest, the first people Xu Mu wanted to thank after becoming rich were his parents.

However, Xu Mu needs to find a reasonable reason to give them money, otherwise it would be unreasonable for Xu Mu to suddenly become rich.

They definitely have something to worry about.

Moreover, unlike Ye Muling, who is young and can accept the fact that Xu Mu is rich, because she believes Xu Mu is capable, for example, in attracting investment, there are contracts and relevant procedures... She just thinks Xu Mu is amazing.

But his parents didn't know what Xu Mu was doing back in his hometown... and they were just ordinary working people with no particular ambitions.

I've had my share of hardship before, so I know how difficult it is to make money.

Now that things are finally getting better, all they want is for their two children to be happy.

"So powerful?"

Seeing Xu Mu transfer money to her, Xu Ping's eyes widened. "My son is really amazing!"

“You need money right now, there’s no need to give all your money to Mom! Keep some for yourself, and didn’t you invest in a turtle farm before? I heard from your sister that you got investment, you can get your investment back and run it yourself… Isn’t that very profitable?”

Xu Ping has a lot on her mind.

From the perspective of their elders, if their child earns money, they definitely hope that the child will save it.

Money is so hard to earn these days, so being able to save money is definitely a good thing, as it can help prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

"Mom, I'm doing pretty well in Tianji County now. I've met some bosses who invested 20 million yuan in me! Our turtle farm is quite large now, and I don't need my own money! And if we do well, we can earn several million yuan every year..."

Xu Mu decided to bring this up, saying, "Once we're settled, you and Dad won't have to work anymore, and you can come back and enjoy your retirement!"

After all, Xu Mu didn't intend for them to come back so soon... After all, their biggest concern right now is that Xu Mu and Ye Muling are not married yet.

Besides, they've been living in Ningcheng for so many years, unless they have so much money in their pockets they don't know what to do with it.

I really won't go back to my hometown.

Besides, their ideas are different from those of children. They just want to make arrangements for Ye Muling and Xu Mu's future through their own efforts.

In their eyes, Xu Mu and Ye Muling are still children.

“We’re still so young!” Zhou Ping sent a voice message with a smile. “Your dad and I can work for another two years. The money you earn is yours, but your dad and I will definitely help you with the money for your wedding and the house!”

"Mom, you don't need to work so hard..."

"Once I get my royalties next month, I'll buy a house in the county. You can come back and stay there then... Besides, isn't our villa already under construction? It'll definitely take another year or two before we can move in, so you can stay in the county when you come back!"

"And I think you guys could come back and work at our turtle farm, it's easy and relaxing."

“We are short of staff at our turtle farm right now, but it’s not appropriate to hire people from outside. What if they have bad character and steal our turtles? I think you should come back and work at our farm. I’ll buy you a house then, and you can live in the city.”

"Or you can live in the old house, where you and your dad can occasionally go over and check on the construction progress!"

Xu Ping didn't say much, but sent a voice message saying, "I know you two are capable now. When your grandfather's birthday comes at the end of this month, your father and I will come back and discuss this matter again..."

“If you’re really that good, then it would be nice for your parents to come back and work in Tianji County… Besides, your dad has said that he really can’t keep up these past two years. He’s been a carpenter for decades, and he’s really tired.”

“Okay!” Xu Mu nodded and typed, “Then let my dad rest more and buy him some pig’s trotters to help him recover!”

"understood."

After talking with Xu Ping, Xu Mu got out of the car.

However, before getting off the bus, Xu Mu still made her mother take the money...

Let's wait until next month. Xu Mu will buy an apartment for his parents then, which will be a way of repaying their kindness in raising him.

Furthermore, housing prices in Tianji County have been falling steadily over the past two years. If you negotiate a bit, you can actually buy a decent apartment for around 10,000 yuan per square meter. If you insist on pursuing properties in Yangfan Boyue or the neighborhoods near Xiang Sheng, the prices will be slightly higher...

However, for Xu Mu, it didn't matter how much money it cost; the main thing was that his parents were happy living there.

Braving the scorching sun, Xu Mu felt the burning pain on her skin and rushed into Lingmu Design Company.

Xu Mu felt as if he had been resurrected!

"Damn, it's so hot!"

"Brother Xu Mu, you're late again! You're going to get your salary docked again!"

When Shen Yuting saw Xu Mu come out, she gave him a sweet smile and said, "Sister Bingbing said she's going to deduct all your salary!"

"So what if they deduct it all? Damn it, they can't expect me to pay out of my own pocket, right? If they want me to pay out of my own pocket, I might as well not work this damn job!"

"Xu Mu, come up here!"

Perhaps hearing Xu Mu's voice, Ye Muling poked her head out from upstairs and called out to Xu Mu, "I need to talk to you about something!"

On the second floor, in Ye Muling's private office.

The entire company's renovation is now complete. Ye Muling's private office is located at the very back, about twenty square meters in size, and has a large floor-to-ceiling window that offers a view of the Parkview residential complex.

"Sis, what's up?"

Xu Mu plopped down opposite Ye Muling and placed the Patek Philippe bag in front of her. "Sis, this is a gift for you. I bought it in Shanghai before. It's a Patek Philippe watch! Now that you're the boss of a company, wearing a watch like this will enhance your image!"

After saying that, he casually picked up the iced milk tea that Ye Muling had placed on the table and took a big sip.

The sweetness combined with the icy coolness exploded in Xu Mu's mouth...

You know what, having a sip of this ice-cold milk tea in the summer is really refreshing!
"How much does this cost?" Ye Muling glanced at the watch. "It's not cheap, is it?"

"It's alright, your brother can make money now!"

Xu Mu thought that he still needed to confront Ye Muling, otherwise he wouldn't have a reasonable reason to give her many things!
"Okay, then I accept!"

Ye Muling opened the watch box and took out the women's watch inside.

Xu Mu put the watch on her wrist!
"Hmm! Not bad, it suits your temperament very well!"

"How is it? Pretty, right?" Ye Muling also thought it was very nice and raised her wrist for Xu Mu to admire.

"Beautiful!"

"You're not so bad, at least you remembered to bring me a gift when you went to Shanghai..."

Ye Muling said with a smile.

The next moment, she changed the subject.
"Did you just transfer money to your mom?"

"Yeah, I transferred 500,000 to my mom!"

Xu Mu said matter-of-factly, "Of course I'll give the money I earn to Mom! What's wrong? Did Mom tell you so quickly?"

Ye Muling's eyes instantly turned serious.

“Xiao Mu, tell me the truth, you haven’t done anything illegal or criminal, have you? I heard from the villagers that you drove a Rolls-Royce here, and you said it belonged to someone else. A couple of days ago, a Maybach appeared in the village, and you said it belonged to Wang Qiang… But Wang Qiang just came back from Hangzhou, how could he afford a Maybach?”

"Tell me honestly, where did you get so much money?"

Xu Mu looked at Ye Muling's serious expression.

He knew that his sister intended to investigate further.

Xu Mu was stunned for a moment, looking at Ye Muling's big eyes, which were full of scrutiny towards Xu Mu.

After a long silence, Xu Mu could only sigh helplessly and say, "Sigh, I was originally going to keep it from you... Fine, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean!"

"I am a self-made millionaire!"

"???"

"You're a self-made rich kid, my foot! You're a self-made rich kid!"

Ye Muling stood up, walked up to Xu Mu, and slapped Xu Mu on the shoulder. "Tell your sister honestly what's going on."

How did you suddenly become so rich?

"Hey, actually, besides investing in turtle farms, I also bought some stocks overseas through a friend's connections and shorted a company. That's why I owe so much in online loans and don't even have living expenses... It's because of that company that my friend had inside information."

"After shorting, we made over 20 million..."

Xu Mu didn't dare to say much, so she just made up a topic, "But don't worry, sis, the funds are from a legal source! We're through Wall Street..."

Xu Mu rattled off the whole scheme to Ye Muling, “So I have a lot of money now, and I definitely bought the Maybach… But it’s also a fact that my novel became a hit!”

"So how did you and Mr. Tang meet?"

"President Tang helped him out by using a little trick to get rid of a piece of trash in the company while we were having dinner at Kaiyuan Taihe..."

Xu Mu then recounted Liu Yang's previous story.

"I see... Are you sure you didn't do anything illegal?"

Xu Mu stared at Ye Muling with wide eyes and said, "Sister, I swear to God, I'm telling the truth. How could I possibly do anything illegal? Besides, we live in the age of big data. If I had done something illegal, Uncle Hat would have already come and arrested me. How could he let me sit here so comfortably, enjoying the air conditioning and drinking milk tea?"

"..."

"Okay! I'll trust you for a bit!" Ye Muling sat back down in her office chair and looked at Xu Mu, asking, "So, how do you plan to tell Mom and Dad?"

Once Tang Mochen and the source of funds were understood, Ye Muling also understood why the approval for the old house in her family had been granted!

With Tang Mochen's influence and network in Tianji County, getting approval for the conversion of agricultural land to other uses and the construction of villas would be a piece of cake!

Now that she had figured everything out, Ye Muling felt it made sense!
"What else can I say? You can tell them then that I definitely didn't do anything illegal or criminal, and that the money came from legitimate sources! In fact, I've already invested another five million, so I might make even more money later..."

To avoid running out of excuses later, Xu Mu temporarily planted a trap!
"Five million? Xiao Mu, aren't you afraid something bad will happen?"

"I'm not afraid! I didn't use leverage. If I had used leverage, it would have been easy to go bankrupt, but I'm quite conservative. Besides, there are a lot of short sellers in the US stock market right now, and those people on Wall Street are all elites... Anyway, I'll lose money, but when I make money, it's really outrageous!"

Xu Mu didn't delve into the topic, but instead changed the subject, "Sis, have you made all the arrangements here?"

"Preparations are almost complete, now we're working on the promotional posters!"

Ye Muling said, "Also, we need to go to Kaiyuan Taihe to discuss the banquet hall arrangements. We need to prepare some details for the press conference, and we'll also need to rehearse beforehand!"

"After the press conference, we will also arrange a meal for the guests who have come from afar, and then take them to visit Tianji County..."

Ye Muling's plan was this: if anyone was interested in signing with their company as a co-designer or spokesperson, they could sign directly... To put it bluntly, Ye Muling did this to create hype.

The more people we can invite to the event, the better! It's the same in the design world, the online literature world, and the turtle world.

There are always some well-known and powerful figures.

Inviting them over will always attract some lower-level designers or clients with needs within this circle... It's the same in every circle.

They also hold some designer competitions every year, inviting well-known designers to be judges.

Of course, some clients will come to the site hoping to find a talented designer to design for them.

Or perhaps it's some design companies that want to sign contracts on the spot and poach talent!

In the design world, Ye Muling's Lingmu Design Company is definitely a newcomer.

But that doesn't mean they lack ability...

In this society, money equals power!
Aside from the initial hype, the most important thing is the subsequent business capabilities!

"what do you think?"

After she finished speaking, Ye Muling looked at Xu Mu and asked curiously.

"Can I say anything? I think it's fantastic... Actually, the audience for every circle is the same." Xu Mu pondered for a moment before speaking, "If we're going to invite these designers to the press conference, our company has no problem paying for it!"

"But if you're going to take them to visit Tianji County, I think you should talk to the cultural and tourism department... and ask them to contribute some money to help us with our financial burden! After all, we are also promoting Tianji County."

"Right."

"You guys are so rich, sponsoring our company is definitely no problem for you!"

Xu Mu wondered if he should contact Yinlun Group to see if they wanted to collaborate with this kind of designer. After all, Yinlun Group was quite famous in Tianji County, and since they were in the real economy, they could still be associated with design if they really wanted to!

In this situation, it would be perfectly acceptable to seek sponsorship from Yinlun Group.

As a shareholder of Yinlun Group, it's not unreasonable for Xu Mu to ask for some sponsorship, right?
Besides, it hurts his own company to pay for it!
But they didn't care at all about the sponsorships they secured...

After all, it's someone else's money!

"Should I talk to them?"

"Sure... You should definitely brag to them, and you can also bring Yinlun Shares into it. Last time I had dinner with Tang Mochen, there was a CEO of Yinlun Shares at our table, and Pang Yinrong's husband, who came to sign the contract last time, is a shareholder of Yinlun Shares!"

"They live in Yangjiashan Villa!"

"Really? That's amazing... If it's like that, I'd love to try it out..."

Ye Muling was also somewhat tempted.

After all, with so many experts invited, plus hotel expenses, travel costs, labor costs, and so on, it would probably cost around 800,000 yuan!

Their company has already spent 250,000 yuan on renovations and equipment alone. If the press conference also costs that much, it means a million yuan of their six million yuan investment has been wiped out, and they haven't even achieved any sales targets...

too difficult!
Although some contracts were signed, they were all just deposits; their company needed to advance the funds!

Of course, the deposit wasn't ridiculously small; it was 50% of the total amount!
While some of the payment can be recovered, compared to the costs incurred, these deposits are negligible.

"I'll call and talk to her later... Besides, Tang Ruobing lives in Yangjiashan and has such a good relationship with Pang Yinrong, so I can try to negotiate with her!" Ye Muling stroked her chin, thinking.

Xu Mu shook his head, interrupting Ye Muling's thoughts.

"Don't think like that," Xu Mu said to Ye Muling. "They are just clients. I will handle the Yinlun Group matter."

"Row!"

"Then leave it to you!"

After discussing these matters, Ye Muling turned her gaze to Xu Mu and asked, "So, are you very rich now?"

"What?"

Xu Mu suddenly hugged herself tightly, looking at Ye Muling warily, "You wouldn't be planning something bad to me, would you?"

"Heh!" Ye Muling sneered, reverting to her previous demeanor. "What could I possibly do to you? Do you think I'd do it? You brat! You said you were chasing after me before, but now, with so many beautiful women around you, have you forgotten all about your older sister?"

"How could that be? I just saw you were too busy. After the press conference, I'll take you out for some fun, maybe a trip, how about that?"

"Fine!" Ye Muling looked at Xu Mu and snorted coldly, "Don't play tricks on me again later."

"If you dare to mess with me again, I'll kill your brat!"

"Absolutely impossible!" Xu Mu felt a tightness in her lower body, and her face turned rather pale. "By the way, sister, when you have time, take a look at Yangfan Parkview's apartments. If it's suitable, buy one, preferably a large flat with three bedrooms and two living rooms... that way, when Mom and Dad come back, they'll have a place to stay."

"After all, the old house was too small. We used to have to squeeze together during the Spring Festival. If I buy my own house, I can just go back to visit my grandparents occasionally."

The two elderly people are quite old.

Xu Mu's grandparents were born before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and her eldest aunt is almost sixty years old.

Grandpa is ninety years old, and Grandma is eighty-seven!

Having suffered a lifetime of hardship, he can now finally enjoy his retirement.

I'm so happy lying at home every day.

They have no worries about food or clothing.

Moreover, Xu Mu has been staying at home for the past two years and occasionally gives them money.

Previously, when Grandpa suddenly suffered from acute bronchitis, Xu Mu was able to help take him to the hospital...

So even though life has improved, Xu Mu still needs to think about improving her home environment.

“That makes sense…” Ye Muling nodded. “There are so many places to spend money these days!”

"It's okay, I can earn it!"

Time quickly came to August 14th.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xu Mu was woken up by a phone call from Tang Ruobing.

"Xu Mu, wake up!"

"Get up and come pick me up, we need to drive to the airport!"

"Isn't it an afternoon flight? Why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Mu glanced at the time; it was only 8 a.m. ... The flight was at 3 p.m., and even if they drove to Ningcheng Airport, it would only take an hour and a half, which was more than enough time.

"Then you have to go to the airport in advance to prepare, right?"

"..."

Xu Mu sighed helplessly, "I understand."

"I'm getting up now!"

Time flies, it feels like a dream.

Damn, I can't believe it's Xu Song's concert time already...

Luckily, I bought the plane tickets early. Otherwise, if I bought them now, they would cost three to five thousand yuan each. Who could afford that?
Although Xu Mu is rich, he is not a victim of injustice.

He understood the principle of saving where he should and spending where he should.

The main reason is that Xu Mu was once a victim of injustice, but also once a pure-hearted person.

"Come pick me up in your car, and we'll head straight to Ningcheng Airport!"

"understood."

"But I don't have enough room for my luggage!"

“My 718 has very little storage space.”

"??"

Xu Mu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and realized that it really was... The 718 was a convertible sports car, and a relatively popular entry-level Porsche sports car at that, but the front trunk storage space was indeed terrible.

"Sigh... alright!"

Xu Mu's own Aston Martin has a trunk, but it can only fit one suitcase...

"No, do you need to bring so much stuff?"

Xu Mu couldn't help but ask curiously, "We're only going on a three-day trip, so three sets of ordinary clothes should be enough, right?"

"You don't understand women's suitcases."

"..."

Xu Mu remained silent for a moment, then could only sigh and ask, "Don't you have any other cars?"

Anyway, Xu Mu doesn't have a car.

It was just an Aston Martin that the system gave me.

That's why!

You're saying this supercar is useless? It can't even fit a suitcase, it's completely impractical. You might as well just give me a Rolls-Royce!

As for the Maybach and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Wang Mengyan drives the former and Ye Muling drives the latter, so Xu Mu doesn't have a car.

"No, Dad just has an old Mercedes-Maybach, but he's already driving it to work."

"understood!"

Xu Mu didn't waste any time. She quickly packed a few changes of clothes, took a charger, and took a taxi to the Xincheng High-speed Railway Station.

Wang Zhengjian, the No.1 car rental provider in Tianji County, has a car rental parking space at the Tianji County High-speed Railway Station.

"Mr. Wang, do you have any cars that haven't been rented out yet?"

"Urgent!"

"What? You don't have a car?"

Wang Zhengjian quickly replied to the message, asking curiously, "Don't you have a Maybach? And a Xiaomi too?"

"The Maybach was driven away by the butler, and the Xiaomi SU7U hasn't been picked up yet!"

"Get me one... I have an Aston Martin at home, you can rent it if you're interested!"

"What the hell?" Wang Zhengjian asked in shock. "No, buddy, are you kidding me?"

"You have an Aston Martin but don't drive it, so you come to me to rent a car?"

"So, I'm just a pawn in your game?"

"Stop babbling! I need to drive to Ningcheng Airport to catch my flight. My Aston Martin can't hold much luggage, you know?"

"Got it. I'll arrange a Wenjie M9 for you. There just happens to be one Wenjie available for rent in Tianji County."

How much does it cost per day?

"I estimate I won't be back until the 17th."

Xu Mu told Wang Zhengjian.

"So you drive to Ningcheng Airport and then leave the car there, right?"

"Just give me a toll fee... 500 yuan. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up at Ningcheng Airport. When you need the car back, contact me and I'll arrange another one for you! We have dedicated sales representatives in Ningcheng."

Wang Zhengjian sent a voice message with a smile.

"Okay, I'm coming over now."

Upon arriving at the underground parking garage of the high-speed rail station, Xu Mu found Wang Zhengjian's reserved parking space.

He was watching the salesperson's live stream.

"The car is parked here... Here are the keys."

“Okay!” Xu Mu took the keys and didn’t exchange many pleasantries with Wang Zhengjian. “I’ll treat you to dinner when I get back.”

"Why are you in such a hurry to catch your flight?"

"Hey, isn't this because a friend wants to go to Xu Song's concert?"

"I'll go with her."

"A woman?" Wang Zhengjian raised his thick eyebrows slightly, revealing a knowing smile.

"Nonsense...why else would it be a man?"

"Withdraw!"

Driving the Wenjie M9, Xu Mu headed to the Yangjiashan villa.

Yangjiashan Villa.

Tang Ruobing left the house with her suitcase.

Standing in the shade at the entrance of the residential area, Tang Ruobing made a phone call to Tang Mochen.

"Dad, I'm going on a trip!"

Where should we go for fun?

Tang Mochen asked with a smile.

He discovered that ever since Tang Ruobing met Xu Mu...

Tang Ruobing's personality has indeed become much more cheerful... What do you call that?
Things always turn into their opposites when they reach an extreme!
He used to be so withdrawn, but he insisted on challenging Xu Mu to a solo match!

Xu Mu originally thought he could continue to drive Tang Ruobing into a state of depression, but unexpectedly, he ended up driving Tang Ruobing out of her depression!
"Let's go to Shenzhen with Xu Mu to see Xu Song's concert!"

"Just the two of you?"

Tang Mochen asked over the phone.

“Otherwise,” Tang Ruobing retorted. “Why bring so many people? I just want to be with Xu Mu.”

"Great...great, great!" Tang Mochen exclaimed happily, praising repeatedly, "Xu Mu is such a great guy, you'd better hold on tight!"

"If the time is right, I can take the initiative!"

"Dad..." Tang Ruobing said coquettishly, "What are you saying? I don't like him!"

"He's such a jerk, I hate him so much! All he does is bully me! He's a jerk! I hate jerks the most!"

"You hate him, yet you went to the concert with him? You're just being stubborn! You're deceiving yourself!" Tang Mochen scoffed. "I'm your father, don't you know me?"

"You've fallen for Xu Mu! Dad's been there! Xu Mu's a good guy. Even though he has a lot of admirers, I think his character is fine. Even if you're not aiming for marriage, dating him is perfectly acceptable..."

"Alright, Dad!"

Tang Ruobing blushed at Tang Mochen's words and quickly interrupted, "Stop talking!"
