1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 39 It's Actually Very Simple

Three conditions?

Miss Mu's eyes suddenly became alert, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Oh? Tell me first?"

As soon as Yang Mo saw the other person's smile, he knew that the girl had misunderstood. He rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, Manager Mu. I admit that you are very beautiful. I also know that you know that you are very beautiful. But I'm sorry, I don't have any other advantages, but I do have self-knowledge... So you don't have to worry that I will make any unreasonable demands on you."

Mu Liya was amused by the tongue-twister-like answer. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the guy in front of her had never shown her a pig-like expression even once from beginning to end. She immediately put her mind at ease: "What are the conditions? Tell me."

Yang Mo's expression was very serious: "First, no matter whether you adopt my suggestion or not, I will never set foot on any inch of land in the Bear Country at any time and under any circumstances... What I mean is, besides you absolutely cannot let me go there in the form of company orders, even if the company really has relevant orders, you have to help me find a way to shirk it!"

Mu Liya was stunned. She didn't expect that Yang Mo's first request would be this. She looked at him strangely: "Is it that serious? How many people want to go on business trips or study abroad but can't get the chance!"

Yang Mo sneered: "That's because people who have such ideas live in the 1950s and 1960s...Besides, how can being a trader be the same as studying at public expense...Just tell me directly whether you agree or not."

Although she didn't know why this guy was so afraid of that place, Yang Mo's request was actually very easy to do, so Mu Liya nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I agree to your request!"

Seeing that the problem he was most worried about had been solved, Yang Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "Second request... I don't care how you fight with Director Zhang, but you must not involve me... In other words, please put aside the matter of letting me officially become a member of your team... At least wait until I have a few years of experience in the drilling company before discussing it!"

Mu Liya frowned and looked at him: "Are you so reluctant to become a member of my team? You know..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yang Mo. He didn't know how many times he had been interrupted by this guy today.

Yang Mo said impatiently, "Please, Miss Mu, please understand that I am just a newbie who has just been appointed. No matter how deep your background is or how awesome your group is, you want me to follow you right in front of Director Zhang... Isn't this a betrayal? You know the atmosphere of our state-owned enterprises. If I really follow you so readily, how can I survive here in the future?"

This is the truth. No matter when, there are always problems of standing in this kind of unit. But the state-owned enterprises of this era are different from those in later generations. They pay attention to personal feelings.
In a new department like the General Office, no matter what the actual situation is, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Wenshun is the leader + parent + guide of Yang Mo and his team. If Yang Mo turns to Mu Liya now and becomes her team member, it would be a complete betrayal - although the others will not say anything openly, but when this group is disbanded, Yang Mo will definitely be treated coldly until retirement, and he will not be able to get any good things.

That’s right. In Yang Mo’s opinion, Miss Mu’s diverse research team won’t last long. It’s even hard to say whether it can survive for more than two years.

Obviously, Miss Mu also heard the implication of Yang Mo's words, and said coldly: "Yang Mo, you are a smart person, so you naturally understand why I promised you to change houses without proving whether your unspoken solution is useful... If you can't become my official team member, then why should I change houses with you? Do you really think I am a sucker?"

Hearing this, Yang Mo scratched his head in confusion. In his previous life, he lived in a train house for two full years. Later, because he got married, he moved to the newly built staff family quarters and lived there for several years. But no matter whether it was a train house or an ordinary staff family quarters, the inconveniences and sufferings were daunting, so he couldn't help but be tempted by the small courtyard.

Damn it, I'll just take it one step at a time, if it doesn't work out... I went into the sea in 1992, I don't believe that with the experience in my previous life, I would still end up so miserable!

Having made up his mind, Yang Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's all take a step back... I still won't become your official team member, but... I think, compared to a pure team member, what you need most now should be an aide who can come up with bad ideas, right?"

The implication is obvious. I will not be your official team member, but it is okay to give some advice behind Director Zhang's back. Didn't you say that many people can do fill-in-the-blank questions nowadays, but few can do word problems - for a person who can do word problems, you wouldn't be so stupid as to let him waste his energy on fill-in-the-blank questions, right?
After hearing this, the displeasure on Mu Liya's face did not completely disappear, but it dissipated a lot. After thinking for a long time, she nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I accept this one, but let me make it clear in advance, if I find out that you are fooling me..."

Yang Mo immediately cried out, "What's your background, Miss Mu? Someone like you who uses northern trade as a training ground right from the start... I wouldn't dare to fool you even if I had ten guts!"

Mu Liya snorted noncommittally: "What is the third condition?"

Yang Mo thought for a while and said, "The third condition... Never mind. That's all for now. I'll talk about the third condition when I have the chance."

Seeing this guy hesitant to speak, Mu Liya's mood became worse - although she still didn't fully understand Yang Mo's personality, she also knew that the reason why he said half and hid the other half was that he was wary of her.

But she wisely did not continue to dwell on this issue. After calming down, Mu Liya looked at Yang Mo calmly: "Okay, now that the conditions have been put forward, you should tell me about your solution, right?"

Seeing that the topic was being brought back to the main point, Yang Mo did not hide anything: "In fact, the solution is very simple... Since blending with edible alcohol does not meet your psychological expectations, and traditional liquor does not suit the taste of the Mao bears... then why don't we change our thinking and brew a batch of liquor that suits the taste preferences of the Mao bears?"

"Brew a batch of liquor that suits their taste? This is... your idea?" Mu Liya looked at Yang Mo expressionlessly, her eyes like bright stars filled with coldness.

Do you think I'm an idiot? If I could find someone who could make a liquor that tastes similar to vodka, I wouldn't have to waste my time talking to you.
Seeing that the girl was about to lose her temper, Yang Mo quickly signaled her to calm down: "Actually... this is not difficult, you can even say it's very simple!"

"Very simple?" Mu Liya looked as if if you don't explain it to me, I'll give you a taste of my power.

Yang Mo chuckled, "Yes, it's actually very simple... In fact, many people have fallen into a misunderstanding in this regard... To be fair, the liquor brewing process in our country is much more complicated than that of foreign liquors. It may not be easy to imitate some foreign liquors with great flavors, but if you just want to brew a batch of liquor with a taste similar to vodka, it's actually not difficult!"

"Oh?" Seeing Yang Mo's confident words, the coldness on Mu Liya's face disappeared for the most part, and she looked at him suspiciously.

Yang Mo shrugged. "There's a saying that goes, 'a book spreads outside, a page spreads inside.' It's not surprising at all... In fact, the biggest difference between traditional Chinese liquor and foreign liquor is that we use a double fermentation method, while foreign liquor uses a single fermentation method... All we need to do is acquire a winery that specializes in brewing light-flavor liquor, and tell them to use potatoes as raw materials instead of bran when producing liquor, and don't put koji in the raw materials!"

“No husks… no yeast!?”

Mu Liya looked at Yang Mo in disbelief: "Is it that simple?"

Yang Mo curled his lips: "Yes, it's that simple!"
