A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

Chapter 362 People are in high spirits when they have good news

"Holy crap, Li Mu, subscriptions to the top spot?! 92,000?!"

At noon, Sui Kuan, who had caught Li Mu, asked in shock.

Even the other people in the Arts and Sports Department started looking at Li Mu differently.

Actually... well, how should I put it?

Sometimes, money really does lose its value.

Take the Southern Metropolis Daily as an example; its circulation at the beginning of the year exceeded 1.2 million.

But... with a daily print run of 1.2 million copies, what about its sales revenue?

If we take the integer part, it is actually only 600,000.

There's nothing we can do; a newspaper costs 50 cents, that's all the money we have.

Of course, the original version is for one day, while this electronic version is for one month... the two cannot be compared.

Even so, on the 20th, the company still received six or seven hundred thousand yuan.

Most importantly, it doesn't lose money!

The Southern Metropolis Daily loses money no matter how many print copies it produces.

But what about the Beijing News?

Pure profit!

The data derived from the comparison method of a certain one-yuan coin is listed in my mind. No matter how you compare them, it's like Qin Shi Huang touching an electric gate and winning by sheer luck.

Faced with his friend's astonishment, Li Mu shrugged:

"It's alright, just so-so."

"...You're really putting on a big show."

Seeing his feigned modesty, Sui Kuan rolled his eyes.

"No, you have to treat us tonight."

"Not tonight, something came up... I'll wait until I'm done with these next few days. I'm leaving now."

Where are you going?

"Brother Bie is treating us to dinner; it's our department's victory celebration."

"...Can I come with you?"

"What are you, a reporter from the Culture and Sports Department, doing getting involved in our New Media Department's nonsense?"

Li Mu looked disgusted.

"Sorry, we're not on the same wavelength."

"Holy crap!"

Sui Kuan was speechless.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Li Mu left, spitting as he went:

"You bastard! Just you wait until you're done with your work, then I, a mighty eagle of the grasslands, will spread my wings and soar..."

Li Mu didn't hear what was said after that.

I dare not listen.

Scary.

During lunch, Bie Yan dropped a bombshell that was absolutely devastating for the newbies.

"I already discussed this with the editor-in-chief this morning. Everyone's work over the past two weeks is evident, and I've formally applied for permanent positions starting next month! Seniority will also be calculated from this year! The editor-in-chief has agreed, and we'll begin processing the paperwork in the next few days."

"!!"

Bie Yan's words made the internship period of these newbies seem like a joke.

I started work on the 11th.

I'll be officially hired next month...

This is not a child's game.

But it also seems reasonable, after all...

How much is the print circulation of The Beijing News? It already has over 90,000 users.

Putting everything else aside, the main thing is that these numbers sound good.

The Southern Metropolis Daily and Guangming Daily jointly published a newspaper, and within a month, its circulation exceeded 100,000.

This internal news alone makes a world of difference compared to the organizational structure of a group of newbies!

To reiterate, government-run newspapers aren't just concerned with political gains and economic benefits. More importantly, they prioritize visual appeal!

Good-looking tea is good tea, right?

Even if the good tea wasn't grown by my grandfather, the reward still has to be there!

Upon hearing this, Liu Yang, who had little work experience, couldn't help but ask:

"Director, what does this seniority mean? If it's calculated up to this year, what's the legal definition of it?"

Fang Xiaofang, standing to the side, explained with a smile:

"Companies usually calculate year-end bonuses based on years of service multiplied by N. And the longer the service, the higher the retirement pension. Liu Yang, think about it. Even if interns in other departments work very fast, their seniority won't be calculated until next year. But you naturally have an extra year of seniority, so not only will your year-end bonus be higher than others every year, but you'll also receive several hundred yuan more per month when you retire. Isn't that important? Moreover, you'll have promotion assessments in the future, and seniority is one of the key criteria."

"!"

Once Fang Xiaofang explained, everyone immediately understood the significance of this "seniority +1".

Everyone was all smiles.

The veterans of Nandu, seeing the newbies' smug expressions, didn't think anything of it.

That's how it is with Southern Metropolis Daily.

Flat management structure, meritocracy.

If you're so capable, why not reward you?

At this moment, Li Mu, holding a teacup, said:

"I hope we can break 100,000 tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.

Yes, we were so close today.

If we can break 100,000 tomorrow...

That's quite an achievement.

……

"I'm home. Are you coming home for dinner tonight?"

After receiving the message around 3 PM, Li Mu quickly replied:

"Go back, why don't you go back?"

"I thought you guys were going to have a get-together. With such great results, shouldn't you celebrate?"

"What celebration is more important than spending time with you?"

At home, Xiao Fan, who hadn't even had time to wash away his exhaustion, suddenly burst out laughing.

"I love you. I'm going to take a shower and wait for you to come back for dinner."

"Um."

Sitting at his workstation, Li Mu felt a surge of excitement as he thought about his girlfriend's hot and passionate body.

People are happy when they are happy.

With the e-newsletter subscription being so convenient, and his girlfriend coming home today, Li Mu felt like he was on cloud nine all afternoon.

At five o'clock sharp, he quickly clocked out and left work.

Even Han Xu's game was pushed aside.

He rushed home and as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he smelled various aromas wafting from the hallway.

Clearly, Xiao Fan's return deserves a big feast.

After taking out the key and opening the door, a fragrant aroma of food wafted out.

"Brother! Brother!"

Fan Chengcheng was the first to hear the noise, and then a head with dark circles under its eyes popped out of the master bedroom.

"……ha."

The moment Li Mu met those eyes, a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

They even overlooked Fan Chengcheng, who was clinging to his leg.

And he casually moved the child's head to another spot...

"hey-hey."

Xiao Fan chuckled softly and walked out of the master bedroom.

She was wearing loose-fitting loungewear on top and yoga pants on the bottom.

Clearly, she was already wearing these pants as leggings.

She was wearing a pair of light yellow slippers.

Despite being dressed casually at home, Li Mu could still see an absolute beauty about her.

"Is filming all finished?"

He asked a pointless question.

"Um."

Xiao Fan responded with a nonsensical "yes," then went to her fiancé's side, grabbed her troublesome younger brother, and tossed him aside.

then……

"Hey, I bought you a few outfits, come in and take a look."

Without a word, she dragged Li Mu towards the master bedroom, while Fan Chengcheng followed eagerly behind, but her sister ruthlessly shut him out.

The little kid was taken aback for a moment, then started banging on the door:

"Sister! Brother!"

clap clap clap...

The door was slammed shut with a deafening roar.

Soon, the door reopened, and my sister's face, which for some reason even had a pinkish tinge under her dark circles, appeared through the crack in the door:

"Fan Chengcheng!"

"elder sister!"

"roll!"

"Clatter".

The door closed again, and the little boy walked sadly to the sofa.

"Mom, my sister is swearing!"

"Not hitting you is already being lenient."

Zhang Chuanmei, who hadn't gotten involved with the two young people from beginning to end, rolled her eyes.

inside the house.

Xiao Fan took the first step.

No, that's too much to ask. Let's have a taste first.

As he ate, Li Mu noticed that she started to squirm in his arms, especially her legs, which kept tugging downwards.

He touched it...

"Hey! Are you crazy?! Stop messing around, it's time to eat."

"It's still early, my dad just started stewing the ribs."

She awkwardly, but by sheer agility of her legs and toes, she managed to pull off the very form-fitting yoga pants.

"Quick, kiss my ear... tell me you miss me..."

She urged him on while starting to unbuckle his belt.

After a series of tinkling sounds, and as her boyfriend whispered "I miss you" in her ear, she got goosebumps.

Then, a few seconds later, his whole body tensed up and froze.

A few seconds later, after a soft gasp, she nestled into her fiancé's arms, rubbing her face against Li Mu's cheeks, lips, and even his neck and chin.

Clearly, after not seeing each other for more than a month, she had become extremely sensitive.

"Clap clap clap!"

The door opened again:

"Sister, sister!"

"Fan Chengcheng! Get lost!! Don't make me go out and beat you up!"

The tigress roared, then nestled back into her boyfriend's arms and gently bit her little finger.

When the door opened again, it was more than half an hour later.

"Where's Xiao Li?"

Looking at her daughter who walked out with a beaming smile, Zhang Chuanmei asked.

"Taking a bath."

Xiao Fan looked completely nonchalant, as if to say, "We didn't do anything."

Actors, after all, portray heaven, earth, and all living beings.

My mom can't tell.

Where's my dad?

"Going downstairs to buy peanuts. Today is a good day. Xiao Li did such a good job with that newspaper; we definitely have to celebrate."

"I thought that pile of food was made for me."

"..."

Zhang Chuanmei glanced at her daughter but didn't dare to speak.

I thought to myself, "You think you're worthy?"

Then, the master bedroom door opened again, and Li Mu, who had changed into pajamas, came out.

"Chengcheng, turn off the TV and come do your homework."

Upon hearing Li Mu's words, the child, who was watching TV and playing with toys, immediately did as he was told and obediently sat down at the study table next to the sofa.

Li Mu then sat down next to him:

"What did you learn at school today? Tell your brother, okay?"

"Okay, then brother, please sit down."

"Okay, Teacher Chengcheng, I'm all seated now. Let's begin the lesson."

So, the little kid, acting like a little adult, pointed to his picture book:

"Children, today we're going to talk about carrots!"

Li Mu was helping the child with their homework, reinforcing what they had learned that day, while Fan Bingbing glanced at the two of them.

Smiling.

An idea suddenly popped into my head.

From now on, he'll be free to help his kids with their homework...

Just then, I suddenly heard my mother whisper:

"Xiao Li said Chengcheng is very smart."

Fan Bingbing was taken aback, then nodded:

"I'm smart too, and my teacher says I'm smart, but I just don't know how to use my intelligence in the right way."

"..."

Zhang Chuanmei's lips twitched.

I was too embarrassed to say that the teacher was just making excuses to deceive me.

but……

She was still overjoyed to see her future son-in-law tutoring her son.

The old mother didn't ask for much.

The boss is finished.

The second child... just hopes that with his son-in-law's guidance, he won't be at the bottom of his class.

otherwise……

She really needs to check if there's something wrong with the Fan family's genes.
