My boss betrayed me

After Liuli put all the food on the table, Nangong Yue said to Liuli, "There's nothing else I can do for you in the kitchen."

"Go and tell Mu Chu to prepare dinner. I'll cook one last dish and then I'll be over. The last dish is stir-fried squid."

"It must be served while hot. This dish is meant to be eaten for its crispness, so the heat is very important."

Liuli wanted to call Xia Muchu to eat, but then turned around and said to Nangong Yue: "I don't know what to call him now."

"It would be impolite to call him by his name, but it would be too formal to call him Mr. Xia."

Nangong Yue replied: "Others like to call him Brother Mu Chu, he is older than you, so you should call him that too."

Liuli went to the study and said, "Brother Muchu, get ready to wash your hands and eat."

"I understand." Xia Muchu replied.

Then he closed the book and stood up.

Liuli accidentally saw two wooden boxes next to Xia Muchu's desk, with a lot of books placed in them in a disorderly manner.

Liuli cherishes books and knowledge very much.

Feeling a little sorry for the books, he said, "Brother Mu Chu, how could you leave the books like this?"

Xia Muchu looked back at his own books and said to Liuli, "Those are my own books. I don't dare put them on the bookshelf. I'm afraid they will be mixed up with the books on your bookshelf."

“So I didn’t put it up.”

Liuli said nothing and waited until Xia Muchu went to wash her hands.

She put Xia Muchu's book on the new bookshelf.

He saw Xia Muchu's books, many of which were about learning.

Politics, economics, logic, dialectics, debate, natural law…

Liuli was a little amazed at Xia Muchu's knowledge.

"Liuli, dinner is ready." Nangong Yue called in the living room.

Soon, all three of them sat around the table.

Xia Muchu had always wanted to ask Liuli for a favor, so he said to Nangong Yue, "Ayue, I want Liuli to do me another favor? Is that okay?"

Liuli said, "Glad to help."

Xia Muchu said: "I want you to help me collect some Menfengkou Daily, which is the kind of newspaper your unit receives every day, including literature and literary circles."

"If Ah Yue wants to write, he must be aware of the latest trends in the literary world and have his own ideas in mind."

"It's such a simple matter, leave it to me." Liuli smiled and said, "I have my own opinions too."

"I just hope that Ah Yue can watch more TV series or movies. I don't have many real friends."

"But I still have a lot of acquaintances. After all, my father has worked diligently here for more than ten years."

“You accumulate a lot of connections, but they will disappear one day.”

"Before they disappear, we can make good use of them. Otherwise, it would be a shame."

"For example, romance, history, literature, as long as it is related to literary writing, you can usually borrow scripts and manuscripts."

"These things can help Ah Yue sort out her own thoughts, and she can also refer to and learn from some of the more novel ideas. After all, they are all formulas!"

"That's good." Nangong Yue said happily.

Then, Nangong Yue suddenly thought of something and said, "Liuli is here today, if you don't mind, I would like to give you two suggestions."

"Of course, I'm all ears." Xia Muchu replied.

Nangong Yue thought for a moment and said:

“First suggestion: I hope you can read the novels I write every day.”

"Although you promised me to help me finish this book, I have been writing it for 4 words and you have never even glanced at it."

Xia Muchu said: "I have my own arrangements. You have many years of experience as a journalist. There is no problem with your writing style and writing ability. You don't need my help in these areas."

"I helped with the artistic conception, and I can't tell anything from your 4-word opening."

"I haven't really started writing the characters, plot settings, and story development of the novel yet, so I won't be able to guide you."

Nangong Yue expressed her understanding of this statement and said:

"Second suggestion: I hope you can take some time to go back and see your sister."

"I remember that you wanted to go back to your hometown to stay with your sister for a while, and now you are here at the gate."

"It's been a long time, but you haven't even called your sister."

"Your sister has been dependent on you since she was a child. You are her only relative. Aren't you worried that she will miss you?"

Xia Muchu paused, as if he had figured out how to answer Nangong Yue.

Then he looked at Nangong Yue and Liuli and said, "Ayue, and Liuli, you are not outsiders, so I will tell you directly."

"In our village, education is very backward and many children do not have the opportunity to go to school."

"My sister is the most honest and simple person I have ever met."

"She didn't have such big ambitions as me, so I didn't dare to contact her for a year after I went in."

"I don't dare to call her. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it. I don't want to lie to her, and I can't tell her the truth."

“So I just shut up.”

"She has her own ideals and pursuits, her own lifestyle, and every day is fulfilling."

"She wanted every child in our small mountain village to be able to go to school."

"I don't want to distract her from my affairs."

"I want her to be at ease with her education and be a real teacher."

"Although our place is a small one, everyone is willing to address her as Mr.

"I think I will definitely go see her when I get better."

As he spoke, he felt as if he had returned to that remote mountain village and his unfortunate childhood.

The days were uneventful and half a year passed quickly.

Xia Muchu spent a peaceful period of time in Menfengkou. During this period, he studied a lot of books and constantly optimized his plans.

Xia Muchu knew that this dull life would be broken soon.

The current situation is not very good. Many times things do not go according to plan, and Xia Muchu has to get involved again.

Based on the personal connections he had accumulated over the years, he had learned that Menfengkou was organizing a nationwide competition to promote development, hoping that all industries would flourish and develop in all aspects.

Xia Muchu used many connections to inquire about this matter and also mobilized Liuli's network of contacts.

Finally, it was confirmed that this activity was true and reliable.

Moreover, compared with previous competitions in other regions, the prize money for this competition will be more generous because of the help of the government.

This is a very good opportunity for Nangong Yue, but the book has not been finished yet and there is still a lot to be written.

The deadline for the competition is imminent, and apart from asking someone to review the manuscript, solicit opinions and make revisions, there may only be two months left.

It takes only 2 months to complete 6 months' work, unless Nangong Yue works full-time.

Wang Long also called Xia Muchu and prepared to come and seal the door.

Xia Muchu knew that Wang Long and Zhang San's business was becoming increasingly difficult to sustain. Although they had negotiated cooperation in the capacity of foreign capital, they had not yet found a very reliable investor.

Nowadays, people are no fools. The two of them can't keep it secret for long, and domestic companies will know about this one day. The trick of getting something for nothing is hard to describe, and they can't handle it.

Wang Long came to Menfengkou to find Xia Muchu at this time, and no one knew what his purpose was.

In the direction of the dragon bone pile, the plan that Li Yichen was responsible for unexpectedly made a breakthrough and was about to go into production.

The samples they used for the experiment have entered the final experimental stage, and success is only a matter of time.

Moreover, according to the agreement, these three researchers are extremely confidential and their research results will not be leaked to each other. If successful, they will be able to apply for a patent very smoothly.

Li Yichen also sent his plan to Xia Muchu. As long as nothing unexpected happened in the end, this matter could be accomplished.

Compared with Wang Long and Zhang San, Li Yichen, who had just entered the business world, was doing the most smoothly.
