Ch36 - A Full Tank.

Editor: Meouwch

Li Mu still had many documents to go through. He sat down on the office chair where Li Zhao had been sitting, patted his thigh, and asked Ning You, “Want to come over?” 

“Isn’t this a little inappropriate?” Although he said that, Ning You still sat on Li Mu’s lap, found a comfortable position to nestle, and asked, “This is Li Zhao’s office, right?”

“He has resigned and now it’s my office.” Li Mu held Ning You with his left hand, and opened the remaining pages of financial statements with his right hand.

“How much money do you plan to invest to solve the pollution problem in the factory?” Ning You leaned on Li Mu’s neck and followed him to read the gaudy report.

“How much is still uncertain, but what is certain is that this problem must be solved.” Li Mu said, “Remember what I said before that my brother spent money to deal with the pollution problem?” 

Ning You nodded, his soft hair sweeping across Li Mu’s earlobe.

“Not only does it cost money above, but below as well.” Li Mu said, “My brother also suddenly realized that it is better to pay a fine if he continues like this. In this way, he could also take the opportunity to solve the problems left behind by our predecessors once and for all.”

“So this path was wrong from the beginning.” Ning You said, “Why didn’t they realize it before?”

“How could there be any semblance of the concept of environmental protection back then?” Li Mu said, “The older generation has been developing like this, and it is not easy for the younger generation to make changes.”

“It’s not too late.” Ning You wrapped his arms around Li Mu’s neck and kissed his smooth chin, “I believe in you.”

“Youyou.” Li Mu pinched Ning You’s cheek with his left hand, “This is the company, mischief is not allowed.”

“How could I be a mischief?” Ning You blinked his eyes and twisted his hips innocently to put pressure on a certain wild species.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, put down the report, and said in a low voice: “Why didn’t I know before that you’re a bad kid?” 

“Am I bad?” Ning You looked at Li Mu, and not knowing where the courage came from, he shamelessly called out, “Gege.”

As soon as the words came out, Ning You himself turned red. How could he call a twenty-five year old gege despite his age?

But he has to admit that this trick worked very well. Li Mu’s defenses were broken through almost instantly, grabbed the back of Ning You’s neck, and bit his lips fiercely.

However, at this moment, the door of the office was suddenly knocked open by someone, and Li Zhao’s secretary leaned in and said, “Young master Li, someone from the Environment Bureau called and said…” 

The three of them froze at the same time, but the secretary was the first to react. With good professionalism, he quickly said “There will be a meeting at two o’clock in the afternoon”, then said “Excuse me”, and quickly disappeared behind the sliding door. .

“My brother probably hasn’t done this kind of thing in the office.” Li Mu retracted his gaze from a distance, looked at Ning You in his arms and asked, “Do you want to continue?”

“Mbgufa la, la’r fwyjggjrrlcu.” Rlcu Tbe rjlv yiertlcuis. Lf yfilfnfv atja cb bcf kbeiv fnfg fcafg atlr boolmf jujlc, yea ktfc tf atbeuta atja atf rfmgfajgs kjr uejgvlcu atf vbbg, tf revvfcis ibra lcafgfra, “Qtfgf jgf sbe rajslcu atfrf vjsr? Qts vbc’a kf ub ab sbeg tberf ja cluta?”

“Pa’r pera yfibk sbeg tberf.” Ol Ze rjlv, “P afwqbgjglis gfcafv j relaf.” 

Ning You was wondering how Li Mu entered the neighborhood in such a drunken state last night. The level of property in their neighborhood should not be so bad. It turns out Li Mu is also a resident of their neighborhood.

“My luggage is still unpacked, are you sure you want to go to my house?” Li Mu asked again.

“That’s just right.” Ning You said, “I’ll go help you clean up.”

Looking at the time, it was almost lunchtime, and it was impossible for Ning You to skip a full day’s shift. The two went nearby for a meal of crabs, and then each went back to work in their respective companies. 

Li Zhao mentioned earlier that he was looking for points of interest for environmental protection projects, which opened up new ideas for Ning You. After returning to the company, he called some people from the Strategic Development Department to his office to discuss the pros and cons of the new project with him.

But instead of a discussion, it was more of a one-sided inquiry.

“Chief Ning, this ‘sustainable’ concept of yours is a bit vague. What’s sustainable? Is there a specific route plan?”

“It’s like we have a mine that will be mined within five years. Of course, we have to adopt a sustainable development route to extend the mining life of the mine. But you only saw the investment in this project. What benefits can it bring to the company?” 

Listening, Ning You gradually realized one thing, sustainable development is said to be for the environment, but in the end, it is still for the sake of human beings themselves, everything is linked to interest.

After thinking of this layer, Ning You suddenly enlightened. He felt that he had to change his way of thinking, otherwise if he always leaned towards environmental protection, Ning Xin would never agree to his project.

“That’s all for today.”

In fact, Ning You still has a lot of ideas to share, but for some reason, his stomach is really not normal today. 

Perhaps it was because of the crab he had for lunch. The female crab in October was fat and delicious. In addition, he was eating with Li Mu. Everything was delicious. Ning You ate a lot unknowingly, and finally left that restaurant almost needing support.

He hurriedly went to the bathroom, and only after throwing up till there was nothing left, did Ning You’s stomach settle down. This also taught him a lesson——he must not eat too many crabs in the future.

At 6pm, Ning You got off work on time. When he came out of the office building, Li Mu was already waiting on the side of the road.

Many company employees recognized the new fiance of their Master, and they were all whispering to their colleagues around them. Ning You walked up to Li Mu, took his arm generously, and asked, “Did Driver Li come over to work?” 

“Yes, boss.” Li Mu cooperated, “It’s not easy to make a living.”

The two went to the parking lot together, and Li Mu drove Ning You’s car back to the neighborhood where the two lived.

The houses in this neighborhood are all six-storey small bungalows with low living density and a quiet environment. They are high-end houses in the city. Ning You’s house is on the sixth floor, while Li Mu rents the fifth floor, which happens to be an upstairs-downstairs relationship.

“Didn’t you ask the housekeeper to help you tidy up?” 

As soon as he entered Li Mu’s house, Ning You regretted it.

He thought he was just here to help Li Mu tidy up his clothes. Who knew that there were unassembled sofas and beds in the empty room, and there were a lot of unopened pots and pans in the kitchen.

“Isn’t it more interesting to do it yourself?” Li Mu said, tearing open the packing box of the sofa and taking out the installation manual.

If it was in the wilderness, Ning You would find it very interesting, maybe he would want to try it himself. But in the city, he always felt that precious time should not be used for this kind of thing. 

However……

Seeing Li Mu pulling off his tie, rolling the cuffs of his shirt to his elbows, and taking out an electric screwdriver from the tool box, Ning You suddenly felt that it was indeed more interesting to do it yourself.

“Pass me the screw cap.” Li Mu gave instructions, Ning You searched for half a day, handed over a large screw and asked, “Is this it?”

This was one of the countless times Ning You had made a mistake. Li Mu exhaled helplessly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Ning You, “Why don’t you go clean up the kitchen.” 

Ning You pouted, “But I want to watch you.”

Seeing Ning You’s pitiful appearance, Li Mu suddenly felt his rising temper dissipate and had no choice but to say, “Then watch, don’t interfere.”

Ning You squatted obediently beside Li Mu, watching him assemble the sofa frame little by little. The manual looks complicated, but it is actually easier to assemble than Lego toys in Li Mu’s hands.

At this time, perhaps because of the long period of squatting, Ning You’s stomach suddenly reacted again. 

He endured the first wave of pain for a while, but who knew that the next wave came so intense and severe that he didn’t even have time to go back upstairs.

“That, Li Mu, I’m going to go to the bathroom!”

Ning You got up whooshing, trotted to the bathroom and found that there was no toilet paper in it, so he had to run out and get toilet paper, and then rushed in quickly.

Fortunately, it has been resolved once in the company before. This wave was thunderous and slightly rainy, and there was not much real play, and there was no strange sound. 

After safely surviving this crisis, Ning You breathed a sigh of relief. The toilet is not a smart toilet. He wiped his ass with toilet paper, then closed the toilet lid and pressed the flush button.

However, at this moment, something shocking happened, there was no water in the toilet.

Ning You resisted the panic and turned on the faucet of the sink, but still no water came out.

This time, Ning You was completely anxious. He opened the bathroom door and shouted at Li Mu: “Li Mu, why is there no water in your house?” 

“Is that so?” Li Mu stood up and walked towards Ning You, “Let me take a look.”

“Don’t look!” Ning You hurriedly blocked the door of the bathroom, “I just want you to see why there is no water!”

Li Mu was stunned by Ning You’s roar, and immediately understood what happened. He couldn’t help but find it funny, and continued to walk towards Ning You: “I didn’t say to look at your shit, I’ll just see why there was no water.”

As Li Mu approached, Ning You became more panicked, but Li Mu also mentioned his taboo, which added fuel to the fire. 

“How many times do I have to say, you are not allowed to mention that word!” Ning You said.

“Did you fill the entire tank?” Li Mu said amusedly, “This is human nature, Youyou.”

“What are you talking about?” Ning You was simply going crazy, “I didn’t fill the entire tank!”

Li Mu resisted to laugh, took out his phone and said, “It may be that the house has never been occupied, and the property does not have a water valve.” 

“Then why don’t you hurry up!” Ning You said angrily.

Li Mu called the property owner, and the sound of plumbing water quickly came from the wall. Ning You hurriedly pressed the flush button, and finally washed away the time bombs.

Coming out of the bathroom, Li Mu still had a smile on the corner of his mouth. Ning You glared at him angrily and said, “Don’t smile.”

“Okay.” Li Mu responded and added, “I suddenly realized that you haven’t changed at all.” 

Before, Li Mu always felt that Ning You in the city was different from the one in the mountains, and occasionally showed a queen-like temperament, but now it seems that Ning You is still the same Ning You.

“Where haven’t I changed?” Ning You asked.

“Just…” Li Mu paused, “very capable of filling the tank.”

Ning You took a deep breath and said with a gloomy face: “Li Mu, you are dead.”
