A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

Chapter 777 Little Apple

After finishing their conversation about Fatty Sui, the two chatted about this and that in the teahouse until almost noon before finally ending their conversation.

To be honest, Li Mu hadn't been to Xidan Bookstore in a long time, so he decided to make a detour and bought a few books, plus a set of early childhood picture books, before returning home.

After spending the morning lounging at home, Xiao Fan accepted the takeout snacks her husband brought and happily began sharing a bowl of congee with her son, preserved egg and lean pork. However, judging from Li Guanqi's gloomy expression, he probably didn't like the taste of preserved egg.

No one was home today, not even Sister Chen.

It's just a family of three.

So it's quite free.

At the dinner table, Li Mu held up several picture books and chatted with his wife about how to provide early education for their child.

Fan Bingbing nodded vigorously.

He assured her confidently that she could handle the matter.

And then...

After finishing their meal, the family of three rested on the sofa for a while, and Li Mu decided to wash the dishes.

Xiao Fan volunteered to take the picture book and pretend to be a teacher to give his son a good lesson.

But after washing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, he was speechless when he got to the living room.

Inside the enclosure, Qiqi was playing with her toys, while Xiao Fan had thrown the book aside and was sleeping soundly on her back.

No need to ask, he must have fallen asleep while reading.

Either it's carbon monoxide poisoning...

In any case, none of them seemed to be tired from studying.

"……well."

Li Mu sighed silently and went inside. He started playing a toy number game with his eldest son, who was entertaining himself. However, because the children's laughter was too loud, Fan Bingbing, who was sleeping soundly, opened her eyes at some point. After glancing at the two of them, she muttered impatiently:

"You two, be quiet! You're so noisy!"

Look...

She's not even human anymore.

No, he's not even human!

……

A relaxing and enjoyable weekend passed, and on Monday, when Li Mu went to work, Zhao Qian was already waiting for him in the office.

Upon seeing Li Mu, he quickly greeted him:

"Good morning, Mr. Li."

"Yes, good morning."

Li Mu nodded and was about to go into the office when he suddenly stopped.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at his senior:

How's your English?

"?"

Zhao Qian was taken aback at first, then said:

"Not bad, I passed CET-6."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu was speechless.

address:\\\\\\\\\\\\.\\\\\\

"Isn't this mandatory? If you don't pass, how will you get your diploma? I'm talking about your daily communication skills, including the translation of some articles from your management major. How's your level?"

"This... is... just average."

She told the truth directly.

She knew that Mr. Li's English was excellent. After all, her junior colleague was not only her direct superior, but also a reporter covering the 9/11 series of news, as well as a reporter covering various international conferences and the Olympics in the past two years.

I wouldn't dare to show off my skills in front of Lu Ban.

But... Mr. Li suddenly asked me what I was doing in English?

I'm not going abroad.

But the next second, she heard what President Li said:

"Let's start systematic learning today. I'll give you two weeks to gradually pick up the English you've forgotten from school. After the May Day holiday, I'll speak to you in English for our daily conversations, including giving instructions. Good luck!"

"……what?"

Zhao Qian was stunned.

no……

Why?

Why are we suddenly switching to English?

But Li Mu didn't explain further.

He's the leader; you do whatever the leader says.

Why bother explaining so much to you?

So, early in the morning, Zhao Qian could only sit at her workstation, bewildered by the wind, while Li Mu, as usual, began a brand new day.

That very evening, Zhao Qian immediately went to find an English class.

He even bought an electronic dictionary and a voice recorder.

Li Mu was unaware of all this, and he wouldn't ask about it.

It's hard to say which will have a better future, Fanli or Weibo. But... from a practical point of view, both are sizable companies, and for Zhao Qian to jump directly from a vice president's secretary to the chairman's secretary is at least a step forward for her personally. Otherwise, if Li Muyi were transferred, her job would definitely be transferred as well.

A new leader will not employ a secretary left over from the previous leader; this is an ironclad rule.

Instead of taking a sinecure in a department, the leader has now paved another path for you.

If you cherish it, then you should work hard.

If you don't work hard and fall behind... then you can't blame anyone else if you don't seize the opportunity that was given to you.

Li Mu wasn't born understanding these principles. But fortunately, he had many "brothers." Their life experiences were enough to support him from the beginning, allowing him to handle these matters from a more mature perspective.

This is the main reason why he speaks less and less to his subordinates and Sui Kuan these days.

It's not that he's stingy with words, it's just that his words are becoming increasingly valuable.

When dealing with superiors or peers, you may need to explain things thoroughly and repeatedly to demonstrate your excellent communication skills or business acumen.

But high doesn't need to be compared to low.

I don't need to tell you what the right thing to do is, I just tell you how to do it.

If you understand how to do it, then follow along.

If you can't do it, then...

There will always be successors.

This is one of the reasons why, despite everyone on Weibo knowing he's only 27 years old, no one dares to underestimate him.

Mr. Li is indeed young.

But its capabilities are as deep as the ocean.

……

Friday, October 4.

Liu Jianguo, employee number 003, sent an internal email to all employees of both Baidu and Weibo.

[Weibo - Happy Farm Beta Version] (link included)

Everyone is required to complete at least three rounds of planting and harvesting tasks every day.

Li Mu also received this email.

The current beta version has not yet been integrated into Weibo, but is being tested under a separate domain for various B and gameplay features.

Although this is just a web game, and with Baidu's technology, making a web game is child's play.

But since it's Weibo's top priority for attracting traffic, it's definitely wise to be cautious and conduct a week-long test.

After Li Mu clicked on the webpage, he saw a page that was both unfamiliar and familiar.

White mountains, green waters, and a small pond.

Tian was on one side, and I was on the other.

The designers at Weibo have put a lot of effort into making the page very cartoonish. First, you choose the image of a farmer, either male or female. After that, you create a profile and then start planting vegetables.

There are four plots of land in the initial stage, and the entire land area consists of 56 plots.

There's a doghouse nearby, a pond below, a kettle, and even a "wishing well" with a very rustic design.

In the initial stages, vegetable seeds function similarly to shovels and even fertilizers.

After looking through all the interfaces, Li Mu personally planted the first seed for the "Mu Zi Li" farmer on the webpage.

Then, inexplicably, he started humming a song:

"I planted a seed, and it has finally grown into fruit. Today is a great day... You are my little apple... Hmm?"

He paused, wondering what song this was.

But even as I pondered it, I couldn't help but continue humming:

"You are my little apple~ I can never love you enough~ Your rosy little face is so warm~ It warms my heart... It lights up the fire of my life~ Fire, fire, fire..."

This song... is quite catchy.

Li Muxin said.

And it seems to fit the Happy Farm theme quite well?

Then a thought flashed through his mind...

Eh?

Yes.

This song could totally be the theme song for "Happy Farm".

The melody is very catchy, and... the "dengdengdeng" melody in my head is also very upbeat.

If it were used as a promotional song for "Happy Farm", it might even become a hit.

And this also helps with its publicity.

Moreover, it doesn't cost much; you can just find any singer to record a song!

Composing and singing the music probably only costs around ten thousand yuan. Then, promoting it on Kugou Music... isn't that a marketing tactic too?

and……

Although it's a game of "stealing vegetables," the rhyming theme of "little apples" makes it entirely possible to offer apples as a kind of welfare seed to users. For example, if someone happens to get an apple seed, they can plant it and suddenly earn a considerable income.

This also serves as a form of promotion for the song "Little Apple".

Huh?

Has the song title been decided yet?

How about calling it "Little Apple"?

Hmm...that works too, it's quite fitting.

"Little Apple" promotes Happy Farm, and Happy Farm can in turn promote "Little Apple".

What is this?

Left foot stepping on right foot?

Ascending to heaven on the spot?

The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became.

After observing the one-hour ripening time of the crops, he knew that if he wanted to learn more about their other functions, he would need to observe the crop's maturity.

So, taking advantage of the time, he took out his notebook and started writing quickly on it.

Song title: Little Apple

Lyrics: I planted a seed, and finally it bore fruit; today is a great day...

In a short while, all the lyrics were written.

He looked at the lyrics and began to mentally review the melody.

Ta-da!

To the upbeat rhythm, for some reason, two incredibly ugly guys with blond hair were dancing naked...

Then there was a girl who looked somewhat familiar dancing another kind of dance.

Li Mu couldn't bear to look at the two naked men.

But the dance the girl in the video is quite interesting.

It looks familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before...

He was lost in thought.
