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

Chapter 36: The Haunting
I slept at Bai Xue's house for one night.

When Xu Mu woke up, Bai Xue had already gotten up and gone to work.

The scent of Bai Xue still lingered on the bed.

It has to be said, girls really do smell good.

Xu Mu got up, washed up quickly, and picked up her phone to find a friend request.

"I am Tang Ruobing!"

Xu Mu frowned upon seeing the message from the other party.

He thought Tang Mochen was joking, after all, Xu Muzhen had no interest in getting to know any rich young ladies.

But I didn't expect this young lady to add me first.

After accepting the friend request, Xu Mu opened Tang Ruobing's Moments and found that Tang Ruobing's Moments were full of selfies and landscape photos of her traveling.

From traveling domestically to overseas, and even having photos of concert tickets to celebrities, this girl really loves to travel. She's either traveling or on her way to travel.

I'm either on a plane or on my way to board one.

Special forces!

Doesn't this woman know how to take a break?

"My dad made me add you, but I'm not interested in you."

"Don't even try to start a conversation with me, I don't like boys!"

"?" Xu Mu saw the message from Tang Ruobing: "Compulsory education still needs to continue!"

"What do you mean?" Tang Ruobing replied to Xu Mu's message instantly.

"I'm just shocked that there are still so many ordinary women in 2025! It seems this era has been feeding you too much!"

"???" Tang Ruobing asked four question marks in a row. "You think you can make me interested in you this way? Let me tell you, I just don't like men!"

"Is it possible that I'm not interested in you at all? It's just that your dad insists on becoming my sworn brother and wants to introduce you to me! If it weren't for your dad's sake, I wouldn't have accepted your friend request!"

"By the way, you're being incredibly rude!"

"Call uncle!"

Tang Ruobing immediately replied, "You wish! You're only three years older than me. You expect me to call you 'uncle'?"

"Then I'm your dad's brother, so what should you call me if not uncle?"

"Not polite!"

"You're the rude one! Who insults a woman the moment they meet her?"

"Look, you're in such a hurry again!" Xu Mu sat on Bai Xue's sofa, typing away with a smile.

When dealing with a willful little sister, you shouldn't go along with what she says.

People born into privilege are never short of admirers.

On the contrary, she will only talk to you properly if you criticize her!
Of course, Xu Mu had no interest in taming the willful young lady.

Instead of wasting time, why not play a couple of games, or play single-player games at home with Wang Ruofei and Wang Mengyan!

Is the game not fun, or are the two butlers not fun?

Why do I have to come and train a thing like you?
"Alright, your uncle is going to have tea with your dad."

"If you change your personality, no wonder you can't find a boyfriend!"

"You think anyone can't find a boyfriend? I can have one anytime I want!"

"Oh! So you're still single?" Xu Mu mocked. "Single dog, stop being so stubborn!"

“You &&%%#￥…”

“I &…￥*%%*#￥”

Xu Mu had no interest in looking at the string of code that Tang Ruobing sent him.

"Young man, don't be hasty!"

After Xu Mu went downstairs, on her way back to Yangjiashan by taxi, she saw that Tang Ruobing had posted about her on her WeChat Moments.

"The man below!"

"Hahaha!" Xu Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You know what, the guy down there and the girl from the ordinary social class actually make a pretty good match," Xu Mu couldn't help but comment.

"Get lost! You toad trying to eat swan meat."

"It seems you are quite self-aware, knowing you are not worthy of my attention."

"I...!" Tang Ruobing broke down again.

Xu Mu returned to Yangjiashan in a happy mood.

Upon seeing Xu Mu return, Wang Ruofei and Wang Mengyan walked out of the villa.

"Brother Mu, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Would you like us to cook you some food?"

"No need, let's just have lunch," Xu Mu waved his hand and said casually.

"By the way, have you made any arrangements for the design institute?"

“It’s all arranged.” Wang Mengyan nodded, sat down next to Xu Mu, took out her phone and handed it to Xu Mu to look at. “This is a design I contacted from a local designer, based on the actual situation of our yard. It includes artificial hills and gardens.”

"Right inside the main gate are an artificial hill and a pond, with pine trees and money trees on the left. The pond is quite large, extending all the way to our front door, and there's an arched bridge and a pavilion over it. We can enjoy tea and feed the fish in the yard!"

"As for the back of the yard, it connects to the garage, which can accommodate four cars at most. We plan to plant some flowers and plants next to the parking lot."

“Sure.” Xu Mu nodded slightly after reviewing the design drawings. “Have them provide a budget, and I’ll transfer the money to you later.”

Xu Mu now earns 20,000 yuan a day, so he has no worries about making a living!

You know what, life for the rich is actually pretty ordinary.

After finalizing the renovation plan for the yard, Xu Mu had lunch and planned to go to the 4S store again.

Since Xiaomi is waiting for a car, Xu Mu really doesn't want to wait.

If possible, Xu Mu would like to buy a used car for Bai Xue to drive.

With no other option, Xu Mu had to go to the Mercedes-Benz dealership to see what kind of car would be suitable for Bai Xue.

However, only the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is suitable for women. As soon as Xu Mu arrived at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store, Du Qiang, the salesperson who had previously served Xu Mu, immediately came to greet her.

"Mr. Xu, are you having any problems with your car?"

"If you have any questions, you can contact me via WeChat. There's no need to come to the 4S store!"

Xu Mu is incredibly extravagant.

He lived in Villa No. 18 in Yangjiashan, and then bought two Mercedes-Benz cars with a lavish spending spree.

To him, this was a top-tier, super VIP client.

Du Qiang naturally had to take good care of him.

"No problem." Xu Mu waved his hand and said casually, "The car is quite nice, I really like the Maybach."

"I came here today..."

"Xu Mu!"

Before Xu Mu could finish speaking, she suddenly heard someone call her name.

Xu Mu frowned, squinted at the direction the sound came from, and saw Zhou Mengting, dressed in a black uniform, standing at the office door.

"Damn it, why is this woman so persistent?"

Xu Mu's expression immediately turned ugly.

It feels like you're happily going out to have fun, and then you accidentally step in poop!
"Zhou Mengting, do you know Mr. Xu?"

"Of course I know him!" Zhou Mengting snorted coldly, stepped in front of Xu Mu, and said, "Xu Mu, why did you hurt me like that?"

"I've already apologized to you! Can't you forgive me?"

"???"

Xu Mu's expression grew increasingly grim. She looked at Du Qiang, the salesperson beside her, and asked, "Is she a new employee?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu, he just joined our Mercedes-Benz 4S store the day before yesterday."

"Don't you 4S store employees do their job hiring? You're just hiring any Tom, Dick, or Harry?"

"Huh?" Du Qiang was dumbfounded.

What does this mean?
"Brother Du, I'm Xu Mu's ex-girlfriend!"

"But he hurt me."

"Now he's dumped me and hooked up with a rich woman!"

"Hmph! Besides, he used to be a poor loser, how could he possibly afford a Mercedes? He's probably just here to wander around! Playing you for a fool! All he does all day is ride his electric scooter around the city!"

"If you ask me, we don't need to serve customers like this at all!"

"???"

Du Qiang was even more dumbfounded!

Damn it?

You mean, this guy who lives in a villa in Yangjiashan and drives a Rolls-Royce to buy a Mercedes-Maybach is a loser?

And he even hooked up with a rich woman?

What rich woman would give a gigolo that much money?

Did that rich woman just celebrate her 60th birthday?
In your eyes, this is just poor losers, so what are we...?

"Zhou Mengting, you've become such a stranger to me! Are you trying to smear me because you can't get back together?"

After saying this, Xu Mu looked at Du Qiang and said, "Old Du, I seriously doubt that your boss only looks at appearances during the interview and doesn't consider work ability! This kind of service attitude has really disappointed me!"

"Looks like I'll have to find another store!"

Xu Mu said this and turned to leave.

"Wait! Mr. Xu!"

Du Qiang quickly pulled Xu Mu aside and said, "Mr. Xu, I'll contact our store manager right now and have her deal with Zhou Mengting! I'm just an employee; recruitment isn't my responsibility!"

If the boss finds out that he sent away such a great client, Zhou Mengting will be fired.

Even he wants to get out of here!
Besides, he didn't believe Zhou Mengting's words at all.

She joined the company the day before yesterday, and yesterday she started to get in touch with the top salesperson, wanting him to treat her to dinner!
They're all in the sales business; none of them are fools.

They have an unparalleled understanding of human nature.

"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer in ten minutes, I'll have to go to the BMW dealership next door to buy the car!"

Du Qiang finally understood: Xu Mu had come to buy a car again today.

Who's a kind person who buys three cars in a month?
So what if he hooks up with a rich woman?

What's it to them?
They just want to sell cars and get a commission.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, please have a seat in the VIP lounge. I'll have someone pour you a cup of coffee!"

"I will give you a satisfactory answer within ten minutes!"

“Okay.” Xu Mu ignored Zhou Mengting and followed Du Qiang into the lounge.

Today, Xu Mu is buying a Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

After all, Bai Xue still has to work at Kaiyuan Taihe, and it's really inconvenient to commute without a car. She can't possibly drive her little electric scooter in the wind and rain, can she?
Inappropriate!
Besides, Bai Xue is now his woman.

Although the two of them were not officially recognized or married, it did not affect Xu Mu's devotion to her.

According to Xu Mu's standards, Bai Xue doesn't seem like a gold digger; on the contrary, she's someone who knows how to be grateful and give back.

Xu Mu felt that investing in a girl like that was a worthwhile investment.

Furthermore, Xu Mu will be involved in other industries in the future. If Bai Xue does not continue to work at Kaiyuan Taihe, Xu Mu can easily poach her and take control of the company for him.

Xu Mu only needs to be a hands-off manager.

Xu Mu originally wanted to invite Bai Xue to come along, but she was afraid that Bai Xue wouldn't accept the gift.

Fortunately, when Xu Mu left Bai Xue's house in the morning, he found her ID card casually placed on the shelf by the door.

So Xu Mu casually took Bai Xue's ID card, registered it directly under Bai Xue's name, and gave her another surprise.
