After the divorce, I became a mountain god

This is not to say that Malu does not trust Xu Boan, but in the eyes of most people, private enterprises do have great uncertainties. Malu is now a family man with a heavy burden on his shoulders, so it is normal for him to have such thoughts.

He was also worried that his good friend Xu Bo'an would lose his investment money.

Ma Lu and Xu Bo'an have been friends for many years, so he said directly: "Boss, you are too fast. You talked to me about related matters last time. I thought that if you want to do it alone, the preparation time will be at least three months. I didn't expect it to be so fast. You started it before I had time to think about it. After all, investing in a pharmaceutical factory must cost a lot of money. Aren't you afraid that it will all go to waste if you invest so much at once!"

Xu Boan could tell from Malu's words that Malu was worried about him, and then he introduced to Malu all the situations of the pharmaceutical factory, including the shareholding, the efficacy of the hangover liquid, and the fact that Lin Shan was a first-level distributor.

After introducing all this, Xu Bo'an gave Ma Lu a very pertinent and straightforward suggestion: "I have already introduced all the issues related to the pharmaceutical factory. I have also analyzed the pros and cons of staying in Dongjiang Erjian or working in my company. For long-term considerations, as your brother, my suggestion is that you go to work in my pharmaceutical factory. Think about it carefully when you come back."

Malu was completely dumbfounded after listening to Xu Boan's introduction. He thought of many possibilities but he never expected that Xu Boan actually invented a patent for sobering up and directly used the patented technology to invest.

Although his elder brother was very powerful in the past, after recent contact, Malu felt that Xu Boan was more like someone whose bloodline had awakened. He had become a completely different person. Now he felt that Xu Boan was the kind of person who could do anything.

It is said that there are top talents in all 365 professions, but he feels that Xu Bo'an now seems to be a genius who can be the top talent in all 365 professions.

It's been less than ten years since Xu Bo'an and I separated after graduating from college. How come he has made such great progress?
And I have still accomplished nothing. It's really frustrating to compare myself with others.

However, Malu's thinking does not mean that he is the kind of person who is afraid that his brothers will live a good life and drive a Land Rover.

Xu Boan has achieved such a great success now, of course he is happy for him from the bottom of his heart, and his brother can help him if he lives a good life. From the time he went to Dongjiang to open up new markets for Dongjiang Erjian, to later reuniting with his ex-wife Shi Xinyi, to today sitting here to discuss his career choice, all of this was done by his big brother Xu Boan who helped him step by step. How could he not be grateful? He thought this way just because he felt that he was really disappointing.

After listening to Xu Bo'an's introduction, Ma Lu looked at him with admiration and said, "Brother, you are so amazing. I never thought that in just over a decade, your strength has made a qualitative leap. I am so far behind you. I am so happy for you. From now on, I will follow you. I am just one of your bricks. You can use me wherever you need me."

Xu Boan smiled and said, "Look at what you said. It sounds like you are comparing yourself to a donkey. We are all brothers. We should help each other."

Malu said, "Brother, you are teasing me again. We have been together for so many years. I will speak my mind directly. Don't blame me for thinking too much. When you first told me about this, I was a little hesitant. After all, this choice was too difficult to make. After you introduced these things in detail and analyzed the pros and cons to me, I decided to follow you. Don't blame me for being ungrateful. If I were young or single, I would have done it with you without saying a word.

But now I am the breadwinner of my family, and I don’t dare to have that kind of ambition. Now I just want to earn more money steadily and support our little family. You can understand that, right? "

Xu Bo'an was also married. Although he is divorced now, he still remembers very clearly the change in his mentality after getting married. At the beginning, he had the same idea as Malu does now. He wanted to live a good life wholeheartedly. However, his wife let him down and tore his love to pieces.

Malu and his wife are both people who live a good life. As a good brother, Xu Boan certainly hopes that Malu's life will get better and better, so Xu Boan can completely understand Malu's thoughts.

If this happened to Xu Boan, he would definitely think the same way.

Another point is that Xu Boan now has the powerful golden finger of Bonsai World and has achieved financial freedom. He has full confidence in doing anything and does not need to consider too many things.

Millipedes are just ordinary people among us humans. Naturally, they will consider a lot of things when faced with choices, which is understandable.

Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "I was once married, so I can certainly understand what you said. How could I blame you? On the contrary, you always think about your own small family, which makes me feel that you are a very responsible and responsible person. No wonder even after you two divorced, Shi Changliang insisted on recognizing you as his brother-in-law. People like you deserve it."

Ma Lu was touched when he heard that Xu Bo'an not only did not blame him at all, but also praised him. He said playfully, "Brother, when you told me that you were going to work at the pharmaceutical factory, you felt sorry for me because of my hesitation. I felt guilty. Now that you said that, why do I feel like I have become more respected?"

Xu Boan smiled and said, "You are already very good, don't underestimate yourself. I believe in you, do a good job! By the way, your wife has just arrived in Dongjiang not long ago. She is unfamiliar with the place and it is not easy for her to find a job. Go back and discuss it with her. If she wants to work in my company, I will say hello to the company and you can report with her at that time."

Malu said: "Thank you for your consideration for my brother. I will go back and discuss it with him."

The pharmaceutical factory is just starting up now, and when Lin Kangtai was preparing to transfer the factory, a large number of employees were lost. The pharmaceutical factory is now short of manpower. Anyway, it has been recruiting employees recently, so it might as well place people that he trusts in the factory.

Xu Boan said, "Okay, after you guys have discussed it, let me know and I'll notify the person in charge at the pharmaceutical factory! It's getting late, so let's leave for today!"

Then the two of them got up. Xu Bo'an asked Malu to call Shi Xinyi and his daughter Panpan, while he went to pay the bill.

After paying the bill, they left the restaurant together. When they were about to part, Panpan said to Xu Boan in a baby voice, "Uncle, goodbye."

Xu Boan touched Panpan's little head and said, "Good, what a good child!"

After they parted ways, Xu Boan returned home and charged the reading pen, intending to give it to Li Qingjiang directly after it was fully charged. After a simple wash, Xu Boan focused his attention on the bonsai world. At this time, most of the people in Kaoshan Village had already gone to bed, and only a few houses were still lit.

Xu Bo'an's sight came to the room where Li Qingjiang was. As expected, he was still studying the military books that he had given him before. Xu Bo'an said directly: "Li Qingjiang, how are you studying these books?"

Li Qingjiang, who was concentrating on reading, was startled by the sudden voice. He then quickly realized that it was the Mountain God who came. He quickly stood up from the bench, knelt on the ground and said humbly: "Father Mountain God, please forgive my ignorance. I have read these books over and over again for no less than three times, but there are still many words that I don't recognize and don't know what they mean! I wanted to ask you for advice several times, but I was afraid of disturbing your meditation."

Xu Boan said: "I came to you today to give you tools to assist your studies!"

After saying that, he shrank the reading pen to the size of the bonsai world and placed it on the desk where Li Qingjiang was studying.

Li Qingjiang saw the new thing on the table, stood up and picked it up. After taking a closer look, he said in confusion: "Grandpa Mountain God, is this the learning tool you mentioned? But...but although this thing is very delicate in shape, why does it look a bit similar to the toothbrush you gave us some time ago? And it's the kind of toothbrush without a brush head. Can this thing really help me study?"

After hearing what Li Qingjiang said, Xu Boan couldn't help but want to laugh, but Li Qingjiang's analogy was quite apt. The reading pen was indeed very similar to the handle of a toothbrush.

Although Xu Bo'an had never used a reading pen before, he had a photographic memory. Previously, in Zhang Jimin's office at Dongjiang Second Hospital, he read even the most obscure and difficult medical book handed down from the Zhang family once and it was imprinted in his mind, allowing him to master it thoroughly.

Compared with the obscure and difficult to understand medical books, a simple tool like a reading pen is like a piece of cake for Xu Boan. It is so easy for Xu Boan to learn it that when the salesperson was explaining it to him in the store today, Xu Boan remembered all its functions and methods of use at once.

Xu Bo'an said: "I will demonstrate it to you now, you should learn it carefully."

Li Qingjiang nodded heavily and said, "Yes!"

Then Xu Boan held the reading pen in the air and demonstrated it on the book that Li Qingjiang had just read. Then the sound of a person talking came out of the reading pen.

While demonstrating, Xu Bo'an said, "Li Qingjiang, you see, just turn on the switch of this pen and touch the pen tip to the words or patterns on the book, the reading pen will know the words in the book, and then tell them to you, and you can learn to recognize words."

Li Qingjiang was amazed after seeing the demonstration of the Mountain God. He unconsciously widened his eyes and opened his mouth. He couldn't close it for a long time. He froze in place as if he was cast a spell. His finger kept shaking as he pointed at the reading pen. He muttered, "Grandpa Mountain God, this... this is really amazing. This kind of artifact can pronounce words by hearing them. Reading and recognizing words are the result of human wisdom. This thing only has a hard shell. How can it understand the meaning of words and make sounds? It seems to have intelligence. Could it be that this thing is like a plant spirit, a sandstone spirit, or a living thing? Otherwise, how can it speak human language?"

Xu Boan could understand Li Qingjiang's reaction. The little people in the bonsai world had never even seen what "electricity" was, and electronic products were even more illusory and completely beyond their cognition.

Xu Boan believed that if he had not introduced this thing to him as the mountain god, Li Qingjiang would probably have thought that this reading pen was a talking monster.

Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "This is not a living thing, but a magical tool created by the immortals with their wisdom. It has a built-in mechanism that can recognize the words in the book and then convert them into sounds, just like a book boy reading inside."

Li Qingjiang scratched his head and said curiously, "Now that you put it, it seems like there is an invisible teacher hiding inside. But how can such a small thing hold a living person?"

Li Qingjiang's understanding makes sense. If Xu Boan continued to explain, Li Qingjiang, who was living in an extremely backward environment in the bonsai world, would not understand this high-tech product.

It is just like the ancient people would never have thought about the lives of modern people like us, for example, we can fly in the blue sky on airplanes and transmit voice to each other in an instant even if we are thousands of miles apart.

Xu Bo'an knew that it was futile to explain, so he said directly: "You are right to understand it this way. Just think of it as a teacher, or a book boy who accompanies you in studying! Come on, give it a try!"

After hearing what the mountain god said, Li Qingjiang cautiously reached out his hand and carefully picked up the reading pen on the table. He imitated what the mountain god had done just now and lightly touched the tip of the reading pen on the book. Then he heard the sound of reading from the artifact. After reading a paragraph, it would explain the meaning of the text.

After Li Qingjiang demonstrated the reading pen himself, he felt that it contained endless knowledge. With a look of surprise on his face, he said to the Mountain God, "Grandpa Mountain God, this treasure is really amazing. I only need to tap it lightly to get endless knowledge. This way, I can study more efficiently in the future!"

After saying this, he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said gratefully: "Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for rewarding me with such a good treasure. I will study harder in the future, and then teach all the knowledge I have learned to the next generation of our Kaoshan Village without reservation."

After hearing what Li Qingjiang said, Xu Bo'an nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, I did not make a mistake in choosing you. I am very pleased that you have this heart. It is getting late, you should go to bed early! I will leave first."

Li Qingjiang, who was kneeling on the ground, said respectfully, "Farewell, Grandpa Mountain God!"

After Xu Boan withdrew from the bonsai world, he turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed. Suddenly, he felt a refreshing sensation all over his body. It was so late, who was calling him? (End of this chapter)
