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

Chapter 13 So this is what showing off in wish-fulfillment novels feels like.

Xu Mu stopped and looked at Wang Wei with a puzzled expression, asking, "Mr. Wang, is there something you need?"

"You ordered so much red and white wine, and now you're just going to leave like that! Shouldn't you pay part of the bill?"

Wang Wei's face flushed red as he glared at Xu Mu.

Having been tricked by Xu Mu and publicly humiliated by him, Wang Wei now resembles a helpless, furious kitten.

"What does that have to do with me? Didn't you, Mr. Wang, tell me to order? You said you're a shareholder of Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel and told me to do whatever I wanted, saying I'm just a country bumpkin who's never seen the world! Order whatever you want, go all out, and you pay for the extra!"

"You said that, didn't you?" Xu Mu squinted at Wang Wei in front of him.

"That's no excuse for you to frame me! You ordered so many drinks, and there are five king crabs on the table. The bill is over two hundred thousand. How am I supposed to pay it?"

"?" Xu Mu looked at Wang Wei with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot and asked in return, "Where did I trick you? Didn't you tell me to order whatever I wanted? I really had never seen these dishes and drinks before, so I just wanted to order to see what they looked like! Now that I've seen them, I'm satisfied."

"And I didn't drink a drop of alcohol or eat a single bite of food!"

"Logically speaking, you should refund me the two hundred yuan I paid for the class reunion!"

Xu Mu pointed to the empty bottle of red wine on the table, "Besides, weren't you enjoying this Château Margaux wine just now?"

After saying this, Xu Mu ignored Wang Wei and followed Bai Xue out of the private room.

"Xu Mu, I'll fucking kill you!"

"I'm not done with you!"

Wang Wei was so anxious that he wanted to rush out and fight Xu Mu, but the waiters and security guards standing at the door immediately rushed in and pinned Wang Wei to the ground.

"Thanks, Assistant Bai."

Xu Mu took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and before he could light it, Tong Wu next to him immediately reached out and lit it for him.

He took a deep breath and exhaled a cloud of smoke!
Xu Mu felt refreshed and invigorated.

So cool!

Although I usually think it's a bit idiotic to watch short dramas and see these kinds of pretentious and embarrassing scenes in class reunions or birthday parties!

I just watch without thinking!

But I never expected that when it happened to me, it would be so fucking awesome.

"Mr. Xu, you're too kind. It was nothing!"

"I never thought it would be so satisfying to show off at a class reunion! From now on, if anyone says that a short drama or a novel is bad, it's definitely not a problem with the plot, it's definitely a problem with the filming or the author! This is so satisfying in real life."

Xu Mu raised a crooked smile, like a dragon king, and walked upstairs while smoking.

Hearing Xu Mu's remarks, even the usually serious Bai Xue couldn't help but smile.

I never expected Xu Mu to be such a childlike yet cunning person.

really interesting!
He's much more interesting than other shareholders.

Young, handsome, and most importantly, interesting and rich.

"Brother Mu, are you hiding something from me?"

"Didn't you just ask me for money a few days ago? How come you've suddenly become a shareholder of Kaiyuan Taihe?"

"Holy crap, are you still my brother?"

Tong Wu followed behind Xu Mu like a little brother, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Bai Xue's long, black-stockinged legs before looking at Xu Mu with a shocked expression.

To be honest, Xu Mu was quite shocked by his younger brother today.

"Yes! How can I not be your brother?"

"If I weren't your brother, would I have brought you to our shareholders' meeting?" Xu Mu put his arm around Tong Wu's shoulder. "That will never change!"

"As for asking you for money, it's because I acquired a 10% stake in Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel, and the cattle farm happens to be short of funds, so I'm asking you for a loan! Don't worry, when I become successful in the future, I'll invest in your cattle farm! I'll strive to make it the best cattle farm in the country!"

"Brother, you are so kind."

"you are welcome!"

……

Following Bai Xue to the shareholders' private room on the third floor, there were already about ten people sitting inside, all of whom looked quite old.

However, there was one young man among them, with dyed yellow hair, wearing a white branded short-sleeved shirt, and tattoos on his exposed arms.

He must be a rich kid, right?

Xu Mu thought to himself.

"Distinguished shareholders, this is our new shareholder, Mr. Xu Mu, who owns 10% of the shares in our Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel!"

"Hello, fellow shareholders! My name is Xu Mu!"

Xu Mu smiled and nodded slightly.

However, her legs were trembling slightly.

Because these shareholders all exuded the aura of those in power. How to put it... their aura emanated from within, and their gazes toward Xu Mu carried a hint of scrutiny.

After all, they were all very curious about how this young man had become a shareholder of their Kaiyuan Taihe.

Because he looks very young, and neither his demeanor nor his temperament gives off the feeling of a rich second generation.

Could it be a first-generation entrepreneur?
But if he's a first-generation entrepreneur, isn't he too young?
"Mr. Xu, that is Chairman Tang Mochen of our Kaiyuan Taihe Company!"

"Chairman Tang, hello!"

Xu Mu smiled and walked over to shake his hand.

Tang Mochen didn't put on airs, but instead shook hands with Xu Mu with a smile, "Mr. Xu, you are a handsome and promising young man!"

"Chairman Tang, you can just call me Xiao Xu! I'm just investing for fun, and I have no interest in hotel management, so I didn't attend the shareholders' meeting this afternoon. Please forgive me!"

However, Xu Mu's words did make the other shareholders slightly turn their heads.

Just investing for fun?

Is this young man really that arrogant?

However, this attitude reassured Tang Mochen; as long as he didn't get involved, that was fine.

"I understand, young people are indeed not interested in this kind of business or management!"

"Okay, please take a seat first, and I'll arrange for the waiter to serve the food!"

"Let's have a drink together tonight, and get to know each other!"

“Okay!” Xu Mu sat down and let Tong Wu sit next to him.

Tong Wu has been completely bewildered since he entered the room.

The people in front of him were all about the same age as his father, dressed in either suits or expensive casual wear, but they exuded the air of the wealthy, which made Tong Wu feel somewhat inferior.

"Brother, is this a place for someone like me who raises cattle?"

"They're amazing! I've only ever seen some of them on the news!"

Tong Wu leaned closer to Xu Mu and whispered.

"What's so great about it? You saw it for yourself, didn't you? They even had dinner with you! When they're in a good mood, they'll call you 'President Tong'! Open your mind, you make over ten million a year raising cattle, some of them aren't even as rich as you!"

"Really?" Tong Wu's innocent eyes were full of hope for Xu Mu's confirmation.

"When has your brother Mu ever lied to you?"

"Mr. Xu, that's General Manager Liu Jianguo! Next to him is his son, Liu Yang, and over there are a few others..."

Since Xu Mu was a newly joined shareholder, Bai Xue naturally sat to Xu Mu's right. While pouring wine for Xu Mu, she also introduced the other shareholders to him one by one!

With a smile, Xu Mu toasted and greeted them one by one.

However, when toasting Liu Yang, Xu Mu could clearly feel Liu Yang's hostility towards her.

This left Xu Mu somewhat bewildered.

He clearly didn't even know who Liu Yang was, and had never even met him before! How could he possibly be hostile?
Xu Mu didn't think much of it and continued toasting everyone along the way.

After finishing one round of drinks, Xu Mu calmly sat back down in his seat.

Liu Yang's hostile eyes still landed on him.

I grass!

Is this guy gay? Why the hell is he staring at me like that?
are you crazy?
Xu Mu suddenly felt a tightness in her anus!
Something's off about that blond guy!

Xu Mu took a couple of bites of food and noticed that the blond-haired guy kept glancing at Bai Xue and himself. Mouri Kogoro... no, Edogawa Xu Mu stroked his chin, finally understanding why the blond-haired guy was looking at him like that...

Moreover, according to Bai Xue's introduction, Liu Jianguo was the former shareholder and has now handed over his shares to Liu Yang, which means that Liu Yang is the new shareholder and is about the same age as Bai Xue.

understood!

A white light flashed automatically above Xu Mu's head, and everything made sense!

Huang Mao likes Bai Xue, but Bai Xue is clearly not interested in Liu Yang!
With Bai Xue sitting next to him the whole time, pouring him drinks, Liu Yang, that stupid rich kid, must be filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Inside Sodo Temple!

"Xiao Xu, may I ask what your family does?" Tang Mochen put down his chopsticks and asked tentatively.

"Oh, so I'm just doing some small business in other places!" Xu Mu swallowed the braised pork in his mouth and then said with a smile, "I'm starting my own business in my hometown right now."

"Oh?" Tang Mochen asked curiously, "In what way?"

"Turtle farming, I don't know if you know about it, it's considered a new consumer industry, and it's still a blue ocean market. My friends and I have invested a little bit. I usually write online literature and do some creative work."

"This industry is great!" Tang Mochen immediately became interested. "Writing novels and raising turtles, Xiao Xu, this is quite a leap!"

"Hey." Xu Mu smiled and took a sip of his drink. "It's just a hobby! I do what I like, and both of these industries can make some money. I won't make you rich, but you'll definitely not starve."

Xu Mu answered whatever Tang Mochen asked.

The main focus is on sincerity and honesty.

But what he said was indeed the truth.

The dinner lasted for two hours, and Xu Mu drank quite a bit.

Bai Xue was quite observant. During the restroom break, she took out a hangover pill and handed it to Xu Mu, saying, "Mr. Xu, please take a hangover pill."

"Thank you."

Xu Mu secretly put the medicine in her mouth and then drank a bottle of yogurt.

After all, these old fogies present were all slacking off, driving around in Moutai but drinking Nongfu Spring water from the side of the road.

Seeing how cunning they were, Xu Mu naturally had to use a cheat code.

The dinner was almost over when a few shareholders suggested going upstairs to the karaoke bar to sing, but Xu Mu wasn't interested.

All he wants to do right now is go home and lie down to sleep.

Tonight's social engagements were already Xu Mu's limit. He just wanted to become familiar with these shareholders, build some connections, and eventually attract some investment to the turtle farm.

These people are all shareholders of Kaiyuan Taihe, and at least in Tianji County, they certainly have enough connections.

As for places like KTV, Xu Mu had no interest in them.

All he does is drink and hang out with girls.

Xu Mu had heard from his fellow villagers that the quality of the girls in Tianji County was not high, and they would go to the neighboring city or Hangzhou to have fun. Although Xu Mu had never been there, he was not interested in such places.

"Everyone, that's enough, let's call it a day!" Tang Mochen stood up and said, and then everyone stood up as well.

Some went to sing karaoke, others went to drink tea.

"I'm going to use the bathroom."

Xu Mu stood up and left the private room.

Seeing that Xu Mu was going to the toilet, Tong Wu felt embarrassed to stay any longer and followed Xu Mu to the toilet as well.

After using the restroom, Tong Wu patted his pockets. "Brother, I think my phone is still in the private room."

"Let's go back and get it."

Xu Mu let out a burp and walked towards the private room.

Just as I reached the door, I heard Bai Xue's voice from inside, "Liu Yang, what are you doing?"

"let me go!"

"You bitch, you were pouring drinks for Xu Mu so enthusiastically just now, huh? No wonder you kept rejecting me! So you've found a more handsome boss now, huh? You're going to fawn over him, hoping Xu Mu will take care of you, right? But did you see Xu Mu even glance at you just now?"

Liu Yang's angry voice rang out.

Xu Mu and Tong Wu frowned and kicked open the door to the private room.

"boom!"
