Xue Sumei chuckled and said, "No, let's go home! I'm used to living in the old house, and all the neighbors are familiar faces. I'm not used to moving to a different place all of a sudden!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Auntie."

"However, this is also your home. If you miss peaches, come and stay for a couple of days. If you feel lonely and want to chat with the neighbors, go back and stay for a couple of days."

"From now on, you can stay wherever you like, whichever place feels more comfortable for you, just stay for a couple of days, as long as you're happy, Auntie!"

Xue Sumei said with satisfaction, "Okay, Xiao Li, Auntie will listen to you." She was very satisfied with this son-in-law.

Watching Duan Xifeng drive away, Li Mu put his arm around Taozi and returned to the villa. He had already plucked Deng Jiajia, this thorny wild rose, thus saving Su Qing and her husband from a disaster, allowing them to continue their happy life.

Chapter 94 Confession

Becoming a wedding dress designer, her dream job, filled Yang Tao with excitement. From her first day at work, she threw herself into her work with great passion.

Every day, besides handling simple tasks, it's all about studying, studying, and more studying. I study at work, and I'm still busy studying at home.

In Yang Tao's words, her basic design skills are too weak, and she needs to learn a lot more if she wants to become a qualified designer.

Seeing Yang Tao studying day and night, neglecting to even spend time with him, Li Mu could only smile bitterly, wondering if this was what they called reaping what they sowed.

However, despite his inner complaints, Yang Tao was still very supportive of his hard work and dedication to learning.

I made a special call to Crystal Love and asked them to reduce the workload for Peach, provide more basic training, and assign a good-tempered and skilled designer to mentor her.

Since Li Mu has spoken up, there's naturally no problem with it.

As a result, Peach also began to notice.

That evening, after the two had exercised, Yang Tao nestled in Li Mu's arms, half-doubting and half-exploring, and said, "Honey, do you think our company is too good to me? They only give me a tiny bit of work every day, and then they have me participate in basic designer training and learning, and they've even assigned a very skilled designer to mentor me."

"Don't you think this is abnormal?"

Li Mu kissed her cheek: "My Peach is so outstanding. The company has discovered that you have a great talent in this area and wants to focus on cultivating you, right?"

Yang Tao shook her head and said, "I'm just a newcomer to the industry. How could I be that good? Even if I really have some amazing talent, I shouldn't show it so obviously."

"Besides, they value me too much, they practically grant my every request. I'm not some newbie just starting out in the workplace, this is not normal."

Li Mu said, "Don't think too much about it. Others would love to have such a good thing! Maybe this is just your company's style."

Yang Tao frowned slightly and pinched Li Mu: "Don't try to fool me, the company's reaction is really strange."

"You know what? I asked my colleagues today, and they said the company hired a designer two months ago, and they haven't been hiring at all recently, but I still got hired. Isn't that strange?"

Looking at Yang Tao, who was getting closer and closer to the truth, Li Mu patted her pert buttocks and said, "I've noticed why you're so prone to overthinking. Just enjoy the benefits the company is giving you, why think so much! Do you want to refuse?"

Yang Tao glared at him: "I just want to find out the truth! Why is the company so good to me? That way I'll feel more at ease at work in the future."

After speaking, she looked at Li Mu with bright eyes, her face full of inquiry, wanting him to give an explanation.

Seeing Taozi's expression, Li Mu smiled helplessly. She wasn't a fool; it seemed she had already realized what was going on.

He could only explain, "I know the CEO of Crystal Love."

Yang Tao asked suspiciously, "Is it really just that simple, like getting to know each other?"

Seeing her determined look, Li Mu continued, "And a small share."

Yang Tao was a little surprised: "You have shares in Crystal Love."

Li Mu nodded: "Yes!"

It took Yang Tao a while to process the news. Then, as if she had thought of something, she asked again, "How much is this 'little bit' of shares?"

Li Mu decided not to hide it any longer: "They are probably the third largest shareholder of Crystal Love."

Yang Tao was shocked. She knew the scale of Crystal Love. Li Mu was actually the third largest shareholder. How much was his net worth?

Then, she thought again about how she had been inexplicably hired. At the time, she genuinely believed it was because of her talent and was excited about it for several days. After working at Crystal Love for a while, she realized that it wasn't like that at all. The more she thought about it, the more abnormal it seemed, and it made her uneasy for a long time.

Now, everything makes sense.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She should be happy that her boyfriend was so amazing; but it also meant that he got in through connections and didn't have the talent that people imagined.

Looking at Yang Tao's expression, Li Mu knew she was overthinking things again. That's how women with a bit of an artsy vibe are. It seems he'll have to work hard today and give her a few more rounds of discipline.

Amidst Taozi's gasp, Li Mu rolled over and pinned her down.

At that moment, she couldn't care less about anything else—shareholders, talent, backdoor connections…

My mind went blank for a moment, and all I knew was to scream uncontrollably.

……

Time flies, and several weeks have passed. Yang Tao has finally accepted her status as the third largest shareholder of Crystal Love and can enjoy the benefits that come with this status with a clear conscience. She can then devote her time and energy back to her studies.

It was the weekend again, and Yang Tao, who had been studying hard for a while, was finally dragged out by Li Mu to invite a few friends over to relax.

After chatting for a while, the conversation turned to work, and everyone was envious of Yang Tao's smooth transition to becoming a designer and realizing her childhood dream.

As they chatted, the conversation turned to Jiao Yang's work.

Yang Tao asked, "Jiao Yang, why aren't you saying anything? How's your job going?"

Jiao Yang sighed and said, "I'm about to lose my job."

Yang Tao asked in surprise, "What happened? You were fine just a while ago. I even saw you looking for photographers and hosts everywhere."

Jiao Yang said with a wry smile, "My boss is too stingy. He asked me to find a photographer for him for only 200 a day. Where am I supposed to find one? The TV shopping host quit because she thought the pay was too low. My boss refuses to raise the price and keeps urging me to bring her back. But she already has another job with double the pay. How am I supposed to bring her back?"

"We've been reluctant to offer higher salaries for new hosts, so no one is willing to come."

"The key issue is that they still owe me more than two months' salary! I guess they still won't pay me this month, and I don't know how many more days I can hold on."

Yang Tao said, "What are you still insisting on? The boss is so stingy, the company looks like it's going to fail. You should resign as soon as possible."

Jiao Yang said, "If I resign now, it will be hard to find a job, and I don't know if I can get the remaining salary back."

Yang Tao opened her mouth, unsure of what to suggest, and turned her gaze to Li Mu.

Li Mu had a pretty good impression of Jiao Yang. Although he was effeminate, he was very kind to Taozi and had good character.

Moreover, he is quick-witted, flexible in handling affairs, and can be considered a talented person if he finds a suitable field.

He thought for a moment and said, "Peach, I remember your company is recruiting wedding emcees and planners, right? What do you think of Jiao Yang? Wouldn't he be a good fit?"

Yang Tao's eyes lit up as she stared at Jiao Yang and realized that he was indeed a good fit.

"Jiao Yang, our company is hiring wedding emcees and planners. Would you like to come and give it a try?"

Jiao Yang hesitated and asked nervously, "Am I capable?"

Yang Tao said, "With your silver tongue, why can't you do it!"

"If you'd like, I can recommend someone for you; it'll definitely be fine."

Jiao Yang gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Peach. I'll give it a try, but don't force it if I can't get in."

Yang Tao said confidently, "Don't worry, we'll definitely get in."

……

After discussing work, the group chatted about all sorts of things. Seeing that it was getting late and they had achieved their goal of relaxing by bringing Taozi out, they parted ways.

However, this gathering reminded Li Mu of someone: Mr. Sun, Jiao Yang's boss, who was no good person.

According to the original plot, after losing her job, Yang Tao couldn't find another job for a while, so Jiao Yang introduced her to be a host of a shopping program.

When Mr. Sun saw how beautiful Yang Tao was, he was completely smitten. He kept trying to take advantage of her by offering her a job, and in the end, he even made an empty promise, asking Yang Tao to come to his hotel room that night to discuss the contract. His intentions were obvious.

They were indeed taught a lesson by a scheme devised by Guo Ran and Jiao Yang.

After realizing what was happening, Boss Sun even refused to pay the wages of several people. In the end, he used some tricks to finally get the wages settled.

Peach doesn't need a job right now, so this isn't a problem. But since this person has reminded him of this, he'd feel bad if he didn't teach him a lesson.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone: "Hello, Lao Liu..."

……

Two weeks later, Mr. Sun was arrested by the public security authorities for repeatedly evading taxes and refusing to mend his ways.

Not only was he heavily fined, but I also heard he has to serve two years in jail.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu's only reaction was, "That feels great!"

Chapter 95 Win or Lose

Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Wei's case officially went to trial.

Yang Tao was attending a designer training course in Shanghai and couldn't attend to this matter, but Li Mu did go and audit the class.

As expected, the two cases were combined and executed, and Li Wei was sentenced to life imprisonment, deprived of his political rights for life, and fined 500,000 yuan.

Over the years, he had accumulated some savings, and his house had appreciated in value. However, his car and house were seized and auctioned off by the court, and the proceeds of fraud and embezzlement were recovered. In total, he was left with only about 500,000 yuan.

This is just enough to cover the fine.

It's like working hard for two or three years, only to be wiped out overnight.

It is very gratifying.

However, such a person deserves his punishment and is not worthy of pity.
