A satisfied smile appeared on Li Mu's face.

……

Back at my place, I started moving. I didn't have much furniture, so I didn't need to bring many things; I could just buy new ones.

I won't be terminating the lease on this apartment anytime soon, so I quickly packed up, grabbed a suitcase and two shoulder bags, went downstairs, and threw all my luggage into the car.

Li Mu glanced back, started the car, and drove towards his new residence, Junyuan Residential Area.

……

Next, Li Mu embarked on a major shopping spree, spending 18,000 yuan on two sets of high-end bedding. As a result of his lingering interest in the world of movies and TV shows, he had developed a fondness for silk quilts.

It's a bit pricey, but it improves our quality of life, so why not?

All the small items and kitchen utensils in the house were from high-end brands, costing nearly 20,000 yuan.

Finally, the refrigerator was also filled with various ingredients, drinks, and some red wine, champagne, and beer.

I was busy until after 8 p.m., and looking at the house full of colorful decorations and a lively atmosphere, I felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Only then did Li Mu have time to carefully examine the room. It had three bedrooms and two living rooms, the rooms were spacious and bright, with a TV background wall and white patterned marble flooring, exuding nobility and elegance.

The extra-large balcony connects the living room and the balcony, allowing light to stream into the living room and then into the dining room through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.

The master bedroom is very spacious, equipped with a walk-in closet, a bathroom, and a 270-degree corner floor-to-ceiling window, offering an ultra-wide-angle view and giving it the feel of a large single-level apartment.

There is also a dedicated study and a well-equipped home theater.

Li Mu lay in bed, feeling a strange sense of happiness.

After thinking for a moment, I dialed the phone at home.

"Mom, I have something to tell you."

"Six months ago, I secretly started a business with my classmates without telling you."

"We didn't lose money...we actually made quite a bit, and things are going well now."

"Don't worry! I know, I'll do a good job and be careful..."

"Okay, okay, I got it. You and Dad take care of yourselves too."

"Okay... I understand. I'll transfer some money home later. You and Dad shouldn't be stingy; spend what you need to..."

"I know, I will do what I can..."

"Okay, goodbye... bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu took a deep breath. Every parent hopes their child will succeed, but they also want their child to be stable and not take any risks.

Fortunately, my parents were very open-minded and, having earned a little money, easily explained the situation away.

He opened WeChat, typed "50,000," then thought for a moment and changed it to "30,000." His parents knew he had only recently graduated, and even if he had started a small business, they probably wouldn't accept more money.

There's no rush. He can send some money home every two or three months. Over time, his parents will get used to it and know that his career is indeed developing well and he's not short of money.

……

After watching some videos, it was already 10 p.m. Li Mu opened the "Building Shaking Device" app, chuckled, and turned it on. One can imagine the scene at the aunt's house right now.

However, the vibration device should not be kept on all the time; too much of a good thing can be bad.

After thinking about it, I started setting timers: one hour from 12 noon to 1 pm; one hour from 6 pm to 7 pm; one hour from 10 pm to 11 pm; and one hour from 2 am to 3 am.

In a 24-hour day, Li Mu only activated the device for four hours, which shows he was very restrained.

The buzzing sound of the vibration device suddenly starting up during lunchtime, dinnertime, before bedtime, and even in the middle of the night is absolutely unpleasant.

But, just like the old lady said yesterday, you can do whatever you want in my house, and it's none of my business if you don't get enough rest.

We should use civilized methods with good people, but we don't need to be so particular with bad people.

I played on my phone for a while, and it was eleven o'clock.

Li Mu stretched, turned off the light, closed his eyes, stretched out his legs, tossed his phone aside, and drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 37 A Sweet Night

He was sleeping soundly, but the old lady's house was in an uproar.

At 10 p.m., the house was bustling with activity as the children played happily. Suddenly, a low buzzing sound came from inside, and the floor and ceiling seemed to be vibrating slightly.

The woman and her family were startled, thinking something had happened, and quickly went out to check.

However, once you step outside, the buzzing sound diminishes, and the vibration is almost imperceptible.

I immediately realized that the buzzing sound and vibration could only be heard and felt in her house.

Her first reaction was that Li Mu downstairs was up to no good. This young man was so troublesome. She could make a scene in her own home, but he went to someone else's house and even called the property management and the police.

Thinking of this, Aunt Wu stomped downstairs, banged on Li Mu's door a few times, and started cursing loudly.

However, there was no response from inside. She continued to pat and yell, but there was still no movement from inside.

Aunt Wu put her ear close to the door and listened, but there was indeed no sound inside. She began to wonder, if it was Li Mu making the noise, his house should be making much more noise, so why couldn't she hear it?

Could it be that I guessed wrong, and it wasn't the other party who did it?

When Aunt Wu got home, she looked down from the balcony and saw that the rooms downstairs were dark and empty, with no one around and no sound.

She was completely puzzled. Where could it be?!

She had never heard of a building-shaking device, let alone understood how it worked.

The purpose of a "building-shaking device" is to create noise and disturbance for the upstairs or downstairs neighbors, not to cause suffering to the user.

Generally, the person using the vibration device won't feel any noise in their home.

The woman looked up at the building again, but it was pitch black. She remembered that the family upstairs had moved out more than two weeks ago and no one had moved in since. She figured no one should be living there.

Now she was completely puzzled; where was the noise coming from?

Finally, he knocked on the doors of all the neighbors and went into each house to check. Everything seemed normal; no one was deliberately making noise.

Conversely, the noise and vibrations that could be heard in her house were almost undetectable or imperceptible in her neighbors' homes.

Having no other option, Aunt Wu had to contact the property management. However, the property management had a very bad impression of Aunt Wu and took a long time to finally arrive.

However, after 11 o'clock, the shaking device stopped.

The property management staff thought this difficult old lady was up to no good again, so they left without saying anything and with dark faces.

……

When the noise stopped, Aunt Wu also quieted down.

After making a fuss for so long, everyone was exhausted, and the family started to rest.

I was sleeping soundly at night when I suddenly heard a buzzing sound in my ears, and the bed seemed to be shaking slightly.

He jolted awake and sat up abruptly, only then realizing that the noise that had disappeared had returned.

Soon, the whole family woke up, and the little grandson started crying. It took a long time to calm him down.

After calming her grandson down, Aunt Wu opened the door and began yelling at everyone upstairs and downstairs.

The neighbors all knew he was a tough nut to crack. Once they were woken up by the cursing, they could only accept their bad luck, and not a single one of them came out to see what was going on.

After performing her monologue for a while, seeing that no one was paying attention, Aunt Wu dialed the property management's number again.

It was the dead of night, and in an old residential area, there were hardly any property management staff around, except for a few security guards on duty.

In addition, everyone has heard that this old lady is troublesome and extremely difficult to deal with, so who would want to meddle in her affairs? It's a thankless task!

After making phone calls for a long time, the other party finally agreed to send a security guard to take a look, as they were annoyed to no end.

When the security guards arrived, it was already past 3 a.m. The building-shaking device had been running for an hour and then stopped right on time; there was no sound at all.

After speaking with Aunt Wu, who was already furious, the security guard launched into a tirade of insults, almost leading to a fight. After leaving the house, the security guard spat at Aunt Wu's house.

He wants to report this to his superiors, and that the property management should no longer interfere with anything related to this troublesome and unruly resident.

When I called the property management again, they just ignored me.

……

Aunt Wu's family was kept awake all night by the commotion, but Li Mu slept soundly all night.

As usual, I got up early in the morning, did my morning exercise, ate breakfast, took a shower, and changed my clothes.

It's the weekend, so we can continue to rest.

Driving aimlessly through the city, I passed by an electronics market and on a whim, spent over 20,000 yuan to equip myself with a high-performance desktop computer.

It's time to upgrade my phone. I'll get the new Huawei P30, change the SIM card, and think, "Hmm, not bad!"

I just got another 13-inch Apple laptop; its design is definitely top-notch.

At noon, I chose a well-reviewed restaurant and had a delicious meal. After paying the bill, I had just stepped out the door when I was met by a group of men and women dressed in business attire.

Li Mu didn't pay any attention and was about to walk over when a girl who looked like a complete newbie in the workplace, following behind the group, saw him and hesitantly called out, "Li Mu?"

Clearly, the Li Mu of today is somewhat different from the Li Mu she remembers.

Li Mu realized that the woman in front of him, dressed in a white blazer and skirt suit, looking both pure and dignified, was none other than his college classmate, Yang Xiaohui!
