Ch37 - My wife flew away.

Editor: Meouwch

Crap, wife is gone. 

Li Mu only realized the gravity of the matter too late.

“Youyou, you don’t have to go as far as this, right?” Li Mu stood in front of Ning You’s house and knocked on the anti-theft door helplessly, “That’s really human nature, can’t you look away?”

When Li Mu once again touched Ning You’s bottom line, mentioning the three forbidden words, Ning You did not give Li Mu another chance to save himself, but threw out a “don’t come to me for three days”, and then returned to his house.

Li Mu didn’t realize the power of taboos until then. Before in the cabin, he could tease Ning You unscrupulously, because the little princess couldn’t go anywhere without him. But after returning to the city, it became Ning You’s turf. If Ning You didn’t want to see Li Mu, then Li Mu couldn’t do anything about it. 

Texting him was useless, and knocking on his door also yielded the same results. Li Mu originally planned to fetch Ning You to work the next morning. Who knew that Ning You left early, so he went directly to the company, but Ning You still refused to see anyone.

Finally, when he got off work in the evening, Li Mu deliberately observed downstairs when he came home. Ning You’s house was lit up, but he still ate behind closed doors after going upstairs.

[Li Mu: (!) I won’t mention it]

[The message has been sent out, but it was blocked by the other party]

Okay, he was also blocked on Wechat.

Li Mu knocked on the door again, not knowing how to coax the white swan who was in the midst of anger. At this moment, the elevator door suddenly opened and a property security guard came over.

“Who are you?” The security uncle, who looked like he was in his 40s or 50s, looked at Li Mu vigilantly, “The owner complained that someone was disturbing, what are you doing here?”

Hearing the complaint by his own wife, Li Mu has completely lost his temper, he said to the security uncle with a headache: “That’s my wife, we know each other.” 

“Really?” The security uncle suspiciously asked Li Mu to show his ID card, and after confirming that Li Mu was also a resident in the neighborhood, he then relaxed his guard and said to Li Mu, “Young man, nowadays, if you don’t pay attention to your wife, you will lose her!”

Li Mu didn’t expect Ning You to be so angry, and agreed: “I’m careless.”

“You have to coax your wife. Don’t just use words. You have to take action!” The security guard patted Li Mu’s shoulder, leaving behind the back view of someone who had been through this before.

After the morning meeting, Ning You habitually browsed the news. Li’s company formed an expert group and came up with a set of environmental governance plans. Public opinion generally approves of this plan, but if it continues like this, Li’s company is likely to be losing money for the next two or three years. 

Some people think that the Li family will not be able to survive this crisis and will eventually go bankrupt; some people think that the Li family is backed by the Ning family, and it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

The shares of Li’s company have been volatile since morning, but fortunately, they have not fallen sharply all the way, and they have always remained within the normal range of decline.

Since Xiao Zhao could guess it, it was impossible for Ning You to not have a premonition.

Ning Xin hasn’t looked for him in the past few days, mostly waiting to see how Li Mu handles the company’s affairs. Now that Li Mu has come up with a specific plan, and the development of things has roughly taken direction, Ning Xin should also come to him to talk about the candidate for fiance.

However, judging from the fact that the Li family may be at a deficit, Ning You foresees that Ning Xin will not be too satisfied with Li Mu’s handling. 

“Have you seen today’s stocks?” Ning Xin said with a teacup in one hand and a tablet in the other, her gaze falling on the screen.

“Saw it.” Ning You sat down across from Ning Xin, “The stock of the Li family is falling.”

“If it weren’t for the marriage,” Ning Xin put down the tablet in her hand and looked at Ning You, “His family’s stock would fall even more severely.””

“I know.” Ning You said calmly. 

“You don’t seem to be worried at all?” Ning Xin raised an eyebrow, “Aren’t you afraid that I won’t agree to your marriage?”

“Not afraid.” Ning You said. He was indeed not worried, because he had many options and would not compromise with Ning Xin on this matter. The big deal was that last move, selling the company’s shares as the last resort.

Ning Xin smiled, took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup and said, “I heard that you were recently in a cold war with Li Mu. I thought your heart would waver.”

Of course Ning You would not admit to the cold war, and asked, “Are you so busy listening to company gossip?” 

“It’s not gossip.” Ning Xin said, “Li Mu came to me just now.”

Ning You’s heart thumped, but he remained calm on the surface: “Really.”

“Aren’t you curious about what he talked to me about?” Ning Xin asked smoothly.

Ning You wanted to pretend not to be curious at all, but he could not hold back, and immediately asked: “What did you talk about?” 

“The future of the company.” Ning Xin said, “He proposed a plan to me, listen to it and see what you think.”

Environmental protection is a bottomless pit, and it is impossible to invest in environmental protection regardless of the company’s interest. Even if the bosses have such sentiments, it is impossible for the employees to agree.

Therefore, we must look for possible benefits from environmental protection, and the most intuitive benefit is the face project.

“Wait.” Ning You interrupted Ning Xin, “You mean pretend?” 

He couldn’t help thinking of the “non-profit organization” he had seen on the road before. That was not what he wanted to do, and he didn’t believe Li Mu would have such a proposal.

“I didn’t use the right word.” Ning Xin changed her tone, “It’s to promote the company’s image.”

Changing his perspective, Ning You immediately understood what Ning Xin meant. Environmental protection can be done, but it must be hyped to bring positive reviews to the company. Positive reviews can increase the stock price, which can attract more investment and cooperation, and indirectly bring more benefits to the company.

“So what you mean is,” Ning You said, “How much money we can invest in environmental protection depends on how much revenue environmental protection can bring to us.” 

“That’s right.” Ning Xin said, “We can’t make deals that will lose us money.”

Ning You can accept such a plan. After all, pure investment is indeed unrealistic. At least the model proposed by Li Mu can also be implemented among other companies——of course, it is limited to companies with deep pockets and solid foundations.

“As for how much revenue the environmental protection will actually bring in,” Ning Xin added, “This part will be Li Zhao’s responsibility.”

“Li Zhao?” Ning You was taken aback. 

“What Li Mu means is that he will be responsible for the company’s publicity and environmental protection-related matters in the future, while Li Zhao will be responsible for the company’s specific operations.” Ning Xin said, “To be more specific, Li Mu will establish a public image outside, and Li Zhao will take care of investment and cooperation behind the scenes.”

Ning You suddenly thought of the New Year’s budget of the two brothers, and it was a win-win cooperation.

He said: “The marriage of our two families, and the image established by Li Mu outside, is also good for the Ning family.”

In contrast, Li Mu is a more suitable candidate for marriage. 

“That’s right.” Ning Xin said, “If Li Mu’s proposal is regarded as an investment plan, I think it is worth investing.”

The subtext of this sentence is: Ning Xin is willing to pay for Li Mu’s environmental protection cause. But since it is an investment, the specific amount of investment has to be evaluated separately.

“Then there’s your new project.” Ning Xin changed the subject.

“I have already considered it.” With Li Mu paving the way for him, Ning You suddenly gained confidence, “The most expensive part of this project is the lithography machine. If we can win the manufacturer through this project, it will also be good for the development of the entire Ning’s technology. From this point of view, we can definitely convince those shareholders.” 

“If this project doesn’t work out——” said Ning Xin.

“If the early stage is unsuccessful, the lithography machine has not been bought at that time, and the investment will not be very large. If it is unsuccessful in the later stage, and we have already bought the lithography machine at that time, we can immediately change direction. This machine can support us to engage in a lot of research. After all, there is still a lot of room for development in biotechnology.”

“Good.” Ning Xin smiled lightly, “I am glad you can have these thoughts.”

Ning You also had no choice, he didn’t care about anything, but since he was in this position, he also had to learn to think like a businessman. 

“Then give me a specific plan as soon as possible.” Ning Xin said, “Don’t talk about ideals, give practical and feasible routes.”

In that case, then a site visit is essential.

Ning You looked at the time. It was ten o’clock in the morning, and there were still eight hours before the ban on Li Mu was lifted.

Although Li Mu performed very well in this round, Ning You didn’t want to hear the teasing of those three words anymore. In order to prevent future trouble, he still didn’t let the villain named Li Mu out of the detention room in advance. 

Five hours later.

The plane crossed the blue sky and slowly landed at Hanas Airport.

This is the third time in a month that Ning You has come to this place. Xiao Zhao followed Ning You, and a private car took the two to the Hanas Scenic Area. Hanas in late October has long been covered with ice and snow, and everywhere he goes is a world wrapped in silver.

The village of Tuva in his memories has completely changed. There is thick snow on the road, and one step can cover half of the calf. 

It’s not that Ning You has never seen snow, but he has only seen snow outside the high-rise buildings. It’s the first time he has experienced the pure white world in this nature.

Just as Ning You was stepping on one pit after another to play, his phone suddenly rang.

“Li Mu?” Ning You picked up the phone in a good mood, and when he opened his mouth, a gust of white mist blew out of his mouth.

“Youyou, where are you?” Li Mu finally got through the phone and looked around at the people passing by, “I’m downstairs in your company.” 

“You came to pick me up from work?” Ning You asked.

“Otherwise?” Li Mu said helplessly, “Don’t be angry, I have something to tell you.”

“No need to say it, I already know.” The surrounding area was too cold, and the wind blew on Ning You’s face like a knife. After saying just a few words, he couldn’t help but gasp.

Li Mu finally realized something was wrong and asked, “Where are you?” 

“Xinjiang!” Ning You said, “I still have work to do, that’s all for now, bye!”
