Chapter 29 Vagrant
Ning You is also a person who has seen many big scenes. He has been to the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages and knows many serious princes and princesses, but today he was surprised by his driving skills.
"It was an accident." Ning You said in shock, stomping on the brake with his right foot.
"If it weren't for an accident," Li Mu pulled the handbrake on Ning You's behalf, "you will die together."
Fortunately, when they rushed out of the road, they had already driven out of the birch forest. There were no strange rocks on the hillside, only patches of grassland. Otherwise, it was really hard to say what would happen to the two of them.
"I'm sorry." Ning You's voice was still trembling. At this time, she didn't care about her face, and suggested to Li Mu, "Why don't you come and drive?"
"Otherwise?" Li Mu asked hilariously. Even if Ning You didn't say anything, he would drive this unskilled driver from the driver's seat.
The two quickly exchanged seats, and Ning You was completely relieved until he fastened the seat belt of the passenger seat, but his heartbeat was still a little out of control.
Li Mu skillfully drove the pickup back to the right road, and said to Ning You, "Let the driver pick you up when you commute to get off work in the future."
Ning You immediately understood Li Mu's intention and said, "My car is an automatic transmission, and I drive it very well."
Li Mu didn't want to listen to Ning You's explanation, so he just said, "Be obedient."
"Oh." Ning You responded dryly, but suddenly realized something was wrong, sat up straight and said to Li Mu, "Who do you call obedient brat?"
"Stinky boy?" Li Mu frowned.
"That's what your brother called you." Ning You said.
"Are you familiar with my brother?" Li Mu asked immediately.
"I'm not very familiar with it either." Ning You felt guilty for a moment, but then showed his momentum, "Even so, I'm older than you."
"Heh." Li Mu chuckled, "I don't know how old you are?"
Ning You's mind went around in a circle, only to realize that Li Mu was talking about the size there. If Li Mu's place is a wild wild species, then Ning You's place is a pampered Xiaojiabiyu.
He blushed suddenly. He wanted to scold, but he didn't know how to scold him. In the end, after holding it for a long time, only two words came out: "Vulgar!"
When the two came to the foot of the mountain, tables and chairs had already been placed in the square of the hospital, and many villagers had come.
This conference was not so much a meeting as it was a presentation to the villagers.
The results of this arrest operation were displayed on the topic board, and Ning You was shocked by the pictures. All kinds of traps, traps, animal carcasses, etc., cruelty is not enough to describe it.
Ning You watched for a while, and couldn't bear to look any more, so she went to the vacant seat beside Li Mu and sat down.
At this time, Chief Lin, who was standing in front, just finished reporting, and read the commendation list for this operation. Many young firefighters and police officers went up to receive the awards, including the two who helped Ning You.
After the group of young brothers went down, Chang Lin called another person's name by himself. The person sitting next to Ning You stood up and came to Chang Lin in the eyes of all the villagers.
"Here I want to mention one name in particular, our Han guy Li Mu. He has only been here for a while, but he has already regarded this as his home. Let us give him warm applause."
There was thunderous applause all around, enough to feel the enthusiasm of the villagers for Li Mu.
Ning You's heart was filled with inexplicable pride. He applauded vigorously while staring at Li Mu, his eyes glued to Li Mu from beginning to end, as if... he was looking at his own hero.
Li Mu said a brief reflection, and then returned to Ning You's side.
Ning You looked at the things in Li Mu's hand and couldn't help but whispered, "Why are they all honorary certificates, are you a big red flower?"
This scene is indeed a little strange, or a little funny. The other people who have been commended have obtained official certificates. Only Li Mu is holding a big red flower in his hand, as if he is perfunctory.
"Because I'm a volunteer," Li Mu explained, "the honors within their system cannot be awarded to me."
"Volunteer?" Ning You was stunned, "Then do you get paid?"
Li Mu shook his head.
Ning You always thought that the forest ranger was Li Mu's job, but he never thought that Li Mu's true identity was actually a homeless person.
No wonder Li Mu patrolled the mountain so casually and didn't go if he didn't want to. Ning You thought it was strange at the time, why didn't his boss bother him, it turned out that no one could control him at all.
"So you still have to rely on your brother to support you." Ning You suddenly looked at Li Mu, "Then why are you arguing with him?"
I still use such an expensive coffee machine, drive such a good car, and dare to be sponsored by my family. Even if a forest ranger only has a salary of a thousand dollars a month, it at least means that he can be self-reliant, which is fundamentally different from the homeless.
Ning You suddenly felt that the future between him and Li Mu had become far away, because he knew Li Chao's rank, and Li Mu could not compete with him at all.
"Don't think blindly." Li Mu tapped Ning You's head with his index knuckle, "My grandfather left two trust funds for me and my brother, and now my fund is three times his size."
"Huh?" Ning You felt strange, "Why?"
If it is managed by the same fund company, there should be no such difference.
"Because I took some of it and invested it myself." Li Mu said.
"Do you understand this?" Ning You's family's property is handled by a special financial advisor, and he himself is not very interested in these.
Li Mu reported the name of a top business school in the world and said, "I graduated there."
It was the first time that Li Mu had mentioned his graduate school to others since he had been away from home for so long. Originally, he was disdainful to use his education to put gold on his face, but whoever made Ning You look at him with suspicion, he could only show it off for the first time.
"Are you sure?" Ning You frowned and said dubiously, "I know friends who graduated there, people..."
Having said that, Ning You looked at Li Mu's slovenly beard, and it seemed that he hadn't shaved since the last time they parted. He continued: "People will shave and wear suits."
Li Mu took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little headache.
Ning You noticed Li Mu's speechlessness. In fact, he was inclined to believe Li Mu in his heart, so he continued the topic just now and said, "Then what is the size of your trust fund?"
Li Mu reported an eight-digit number.
"Hey." Ning You smiled, "My net worth is in ten figures."
It was the first time Li Mu saw such a flat white swan. He hooked Ning You's neck with his right hand, pulled him into his arms, and said with hatred, "Yes, I know you are Bai Fumei."
The conference ended at five o'clock in the afternoon, and Ning You and Li Mu drove up the mountain slowly.
Knowing that Li Mu could be self-reliant, Ning You felt a little more at ease, but he always felt that it was one thing to take care of the property, and it was another thing to take care of the company. At least in the city government, Li Mu was no match for Li Chao. .
"Your brother doesn't want to give you the company," Ning You chatted with Li Mu, "Will you hate him?"
Although she knew that the two brothers had a good relationship, Ning You had seen too many examples of fighting for property and becoming enemies, so she was inevitably curious about it.
"No." Li Mu looked at the front of the road and replied in a chatty tone, "He has his position."
"What's your position?" Ning You asked, rubbing her chin, "Do you want to grow the company?"
"Think about it," Li Mu said, "how many people in the company are waiting to eat, and how many opponents are waiting to bring us down?"
"Then listen to you," Ning You felt strange, "You seem to agree with his management philosophy."
If so, why are there differences?
"Understanding does not mean agreeing." Li Mu said, "If I go back to the company, I will definitely make drastic reforms without considering any interpersonal issues. But he is different. He has been in that environment for so long, it is impossible to easily make change."
"But looking at his appearance," Ning You said, "it doesn't seem like he wants to change."
"Perhaps, he has more concerns than me." Li Mu said here, pursing his lips, he hesitated, "Actually..."
"Actually?" Ning You answered subconsciously.
Li Mu glanced at Ning You, as if he had done some ideological struggle, and then confessed to Ning You: "Actually, the company has a lot of illegal emissions, and he spent money to manage them."
"What?" Ning You's eyes widened.
He always thought that what Li Mu said was "unfriendly to the environment" was a common problem in pharmaceutical and chemical companies. He never thought that the Li family's company had already reached the standard of violation.
It was really inappropriate for Li Mu to tell him this, because it was a family secret, and the Li family was also the marriage partner of the Ning family.
"This is our initial disagreement." Li Mu said, "I hope to rectify the company, but this will reduce the efficiency and require a large number of layoffs, and he feels that he must be responsible for the employees, so he goes further and further."
"In other words," Ning You frowned, "being friendly to the environment means being unfriendly to people; being friendly to people means being unfriendly to the environment?"
"Almost." Li Mu sighed helplessly, "I know where our differences come from, so I can understand why he did this."
If it were Ning You, he would also feel a headache. On the one hand, it was the benefit of the enterprise, and on the other hand, it was the polluted environment. It was indeed difficult to make a choice.
But then again, since emissions have been violated, even if it is difficult to give up benefits and employees, social rules should be followed.
"Perhaps you think that he is mercenary." Li Mu added, "but he is my brother after all, and sometimes he is forced to, and the social environment forces him to be like this."
wrong.
The thought immediately popped into Ning You's mind.
For someone like Li Chao with a deep sense of government, his key word should be strategizing, not compelled.
It's like lying about smoking, it's not at all compelled to, but he wants to create a perfect character.
"You just asked me, if my brother doesn't give me the company, will I hate him." Li Mu said suddenly.
"Yeah." Ning You nodded.
"You can ask another question." Li Mu said and looked at Ning You, "If my brother wants to argue with you, the answer is yes."
