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

Chapter 6 The Three-Piece Set of a Loser

Upon seeing this message, Bai Xue couldn't help but frown.

This shareholder is the type that Bai Xue considers unqualified, and is also the kind of shareholder that Kaiyuan Taihe cannot acquire.

Because Liu Yang's father and the chairman are good friends, Liu Yang's father had already invested when Kaiyuan Taihe was established. However, now that Liu Yang's father is old, he has transferred all of his shares to Liu Yang!

Liu Yang owns 10% of the shares in Kaiyuan Taihe Corporation and 30% of the shares in Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel.

Since acquiring the shares, he has frequently stayed in the presidential suite at the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel or spent lavishly in the hotel's self-operated KTV.

His annual spending had long exceeded one million, but Liu Yang simply wouldn't listen and refused to pay the excess amount.

Bai Xue reported this matter to the chairman multiple times, but the chairman was caught in the middle and was very embarrassed. Each time, he gave vague answers, only saying that it would be deducted from Liu Yang's year-end bonus.

Hearing what the chairman said, Bai Xue had no choice but to give up.

Aside from these things, the most important thing is that Liu Yang is a pervert.

Relying on his family's wealth and his status as a returnee from overseas, he acted with utter impunity.

Ever since Bai Xue joined Kaiyuan Taihe's headquarters, Liu Yang has harassed her repeatedly, saying he wanted to keep her as a mistress.

Bai Xue disagreed, and he even tried to force himself on her. If it weren't for the chairman's repeated help, Bai Xue would probably have already suffered a terrible fate.

"Hurry up, haven't you seen the message?"

"Don't make me angry!"

While Bai Xue hesitated, Liu Yang sent another message.

His tone was clearly somewhat irritable.

Bai Xue had no choice but to get up, straighten her skirt, and head towards Liu Yang's office.

After knocking, Liu Yang's voice immediately came from inside, "Come in."

"Mr. Liu, is there something you need from me?"

"Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"

Liu Yang sat in the boss's chair, smoking a cigarette, with his legs propped up on the desk, looking every bit the spoiled young master.

Actually, there are quite a few young masters like this in novels, but there are even more in real life!
Many wealthy people hope their sons will inherit their family business and don't want them to go out and start their own businesses, because the family fortune accumulated by their parents is enough for the next generation to squander.

Whether you go out to find women or spend a lot of money at KTVs and bars, you'll only spend tens of thousands of yuan at most in one night.

But if you go out and start your own business, the losses won't just be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

"If Mr. Liu has nothing else to do, I need to go back to work."

"I have a lot of work waiting for me at our Kaiyuan Taihe headquarters."

Bai Xue kept her head down, not wanting to look directly at Liu Yang, this spoiled brat.

"hehe!"

Liu Yang sneered and took his leg off the table.

He then got up and walked to Bai Xue, blowing a puff of smoke into her face.

"Cough cough!"

The thick smoke made Bai Xue cough and she couldn't help but take a step back.

"How have you thought about what I told you last time?"

"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, I just want to get to work!"

Bai Xue still refused.

"Bai Xue, don't push your luck! No woman has ever refused me so many times, you're the first!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yang raised his hand, grabbed Bai Xue's chin, lifted her face, and glared at her. "I know you're short of money right now. Your mother is still lying in Tianji County People's Hospital, waiting for money for surgery! With your monthly salary of six or seven thousand yuan, do you think you can save enough money to save your mother?"

"If you agree to my request, I'll pay for your mother's medical expenses!"

"You should know that besides money, I have nothing else."

"Mr. Liu!" Bai Xue pushed Liu Yang away, tidied her hair, and her gaze remained cold. "Mr. Liu, this is my family matter and has nothing to do with you!"

"I will find a way to pay for her medical expenses myself."

"I still cannot agree to your request!"

After saying that, Bai Xue turned and left.

She had considered selling her body for money, but she had heard many rumors about Liu Yang, and she simply didn't believe in or like a rich second-generation like him.

Moreover, if this gets back to her mother, her mother would rather not get treatment than see her daughter end up like this.

"Oh shit!"

Liu Yang was furious and slammed his hand on the desk.

"Young Master Liu, look, you're angry again..."

The office door was pushed open again, and a heavily made-up woman walked in.

Upon seeing her, Liu Yang's face was filled with disgust. "Get out!"

……

Xu Mu has been living a very comfortable life these past few days.

Not only did he resolve the issue of shareholders withdrawing their shares, but he also gained an additional 20% stake in the turtle farm. Furthermore, he obtained shares in Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel from opening blind boxes, making Xu Mu feel that his future was definitely secure.

Therefore, he also secretly ordered a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra with a punch-hole design.

If Tong Wu is driving an Ultra, how could I be any worse?
A car is a symbol of a man's status!

After finishing typing in the afternoon, I'll log on with Qingzhou in the evening.

If Qingzhou was unavailable, Xu Mu would continue to draft manuscripts.

Even though she now earns a fixed income of 10,000 yuan every day, plus dividends from Kaiyuan Taihe, which brings in more than 20 million yuan a year, Xu Mu still hasn't given up writing this novel.

He felt that people shouldn't be too idle; they should have their own careers and pursuits.

He initially started writing novels out of necessity to make a living, but he found it quite interesting. Dreams he hadn't been able to realize before, or things he didn't dare to do in real life, could all be achieved in his novels.

Furthermore, with the system's help, Xu Mu's mindset gradually relaxed, and she completely lost her previous anxiety. It was 6:00 AM on May 22nd.

The 23rd is the day of the class reunion.

Zhou Mengting scheduled the class reunion for the evening, and heard that after dinner they would go to Kaiyuan Taihe to sing karaoke.

Xu Mu didn't quite understand. Wouldn't it have been better to schedule the gathering for noon?

After dinner, those who want to sing can go sing, and those who don't want to sing can go home and find their mothers. Why do we have to stay up so late?
"Tomorrow is the class reunion. Judging from the typical class reunion in novels, these guys will definitely show off their achievements over the years and try to impress the female classmates they haven't seen in a long time!"

"Perhaps the girl I had a crush on before was there. If it were possible, could we rekindle our romance?"

With this thought, Xu Mu suddenly understood why Zhou Mengting had chosen Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel as the restaurant and why she was going to sing karaoke that night.

Haha, as expected, the adult world is no longer as pure as it was when we were seventeen or eighteen.

"But if I just go there in a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and flip-flops, given Wang Wei's personality, he'll definitely laugh at me!"

"After all, I did quite a few things like that back in the day."

After all, there are always idiots like that in high school during your youth.

Xu Mu didn't want to argue with him, but that didn't mean she had to accept his sarcastic remarks.

"I really need to buy a couple of new outfits to dress myself up!"

"But I'm surrounded by guys. Tong Wu, who raises cattle, is definitely not a good fit. Bao Zong, who raises turtles, is also definitely not a good fit. Ma Lou is a lousy writer who stays at home all day, just like me! My sister is still working as a slave in Ningcheng."

"Hiss... How did I end up in such a miserable state?"

Xu Mu gasped.

So, at twenty-five years old, I don't even have a single female friend?

While idly scrolling through her WeChat Moments, Xu Mu suddenly saw a post from Bai Xue.

It's a photo, but you can tell from the photo that it's from Tianji County People's Hospital.

Because this is the only decent hospital in our small county.

"Bai Xue is great!"

"Bai Xue is a girl who works in the CEO's office every day, so her fashion sense must be pretty good!"

Xu Mu immediately chose Bai Xue as a tool.

"Hello, Assistant Bai Xue, are you busy?"

"Mr. Xu Mu, please speak!"

Bai Xue replied to the message quickly.

"Here's the thing, I'm going to a class reunion tomorrow. To avoid the kind of scene in the short drama where I'm looked down upon, I'd like to ask you to come with me to Xiang Sheng to buy two outfits."

"I'm usually a homebody and don't have many female friends, so I don't know who to ask for help!"

Upon seeing this news, Bai Xue couldn't help but frown.

It's not that she's completely trusting, but rather that quite a few guys actually use all sorts of strange and unusual reasons to ask her out.

Upon seeing this news about Xu Mu, she also felt that Xu Mu was that kind of person.

But considering that tomorrow is the shareholders' meeting, instead of getting to know Xu Mu on the same day, I might as well take this opportunity tonight to get to know him.

"Of course, it would be my honor!"

"Won't this bother you? If you're busy and it's okay, I can browse around by myself."

"It's alright, serving the shareholders is my job!"

"Okay, then we'll see Xiang Sheng later."

After ending the chat, Xu Mu, wearing flip-flops, shorts, and a short-sleeved shirt, rode her bicycle out the door.

This kind of outfit is really comfortable in the summer.

The summer night breeze is cool and refreshing.

Upon arriving at Xiang Sheng Century Plaza, Xu Mu saw Bai Xue, dressed in a long dress, standing at entrance number one from afar, with two boys beside her asking for her WeChat.

However, she refused them all with a frown and a wave of her hand.

Xu Mu parked the car and walked towards Bai Xue in his flip-flops.

"Assistant Bai Xue!"

Hello! I'm Xu Mu!

Xu Mu greeted her with a smile.

When Xu Mu got out of the car, Bai Xue recognized him, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Isn't Xu Mu just that casual?
"Mr. Xu, hello. I didn't expect you to be so young and handsome."

Bai Xue gave a professional smile and praised Xu Mu.

Bai Xue possesses absolute professional competence in her role as an assistant.

"Hi, I'm so sorry to ask you out right after get off work!"

There's really no other way.

"Let me buy you a cup of coffee."

"sure."

Bai Xue nodded, then followed Xu Mu into Starbucks.

Seeing Bai Xue and Xu Mu leave together, the boys who had asked for her WeChat earlier gritted their teeth in frustration.

Damn it, no... what makes this guy so special?

Flip-flops, baggy shorts, white T-shirt—that's how he got a date with a girl?

Are goddesses really that bad at choosing partners these days?

He came out wearing a cheap, low-class outfit?
And he's riding an electric scooter!

Is this world really that abstract?
