Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 114: Most likely thinking of 'him'!

[Thank you to 'Funny Book Lover' for the generous 588-point reward. Little Bai is extremely grateful! Bow!]

Watching Yun Lianxing desperately trying to please him, Li Mubai skillfully acted as if Yun Lianxing sympathized with him, sometimes openly and sometimes subtly.

Yun Lianxing also constantly emphasized that she willingly did this for Li Mubai, unrelated to anyone else or Li Mubai's situation.

Li Mubai also pretended not to notice.

Heh, how ironic.

It was just indulging in his 'beauty'.

Using the remaining two "Special Skill Level Up Cards" in the inventory, he finally permanently upgraded his singing skill to level 7.

Although it wasn't god-level, it would be enough to deal with Yun Lianxing later.

And now at level 7, it was just right.

After all, his current condition was not good, so it wouldn't be appropriate if it was still god-level.

He thought he would take Yun Lianxing to the roadside KTV to meet Xu Shiwen, but unexpectedly, Yun Nan actually drove Yun Lianxing's car over.

Yun Nan wanted to say something to Li Mubai several times, but Li Mubai pretended not to know and took the initiative to approach Yun Nan: "Nan Jie, if you have time, can you teach me how to exercise?"

Little Nan happily nodded, indicating that she would go back and ask Yun Wuyue, and finally stood by the roadside waving her hand to bid farewell to Li Mubai and Yun Lianxing.

Giving them what they like.

This is one of the secrets recorded in the "Scumbag's Secret Technique" and the "Green Tea Handbook".

For Yun Nan, who only understands physical strength, teaching Li Mubai how to exercise is enough.

But Xu Shiwen is different.

Xu Shiwen is obsessed with music and has her own original songs.

At this time, Li Mubai only needs to do one thing, learn all the songs Xu Shiwen has sung before.

There is no need to be proficient, just immerse himself in it.

Then, in the dim environment of the KTV, only choose to sing the love songs that Xu Shiwen has sung.

In this way, almost becoming Xu Shiwen's exclusive mobile jukebox, with the blessing of luck, isn't it as simple as having hands?

As for Yun Lianxing, she has reached her limit now.

To break through the second limit, she needs a catalyst, whether it's pressure from other girls or Yun Wuyue's fierce attacks on him.

Yun Lianxing must raise her own banner.

In other words, Yun Lianxing can no longer use Yun Wuyue as an excuse to face Li Mubai.

Just like Lin Jiajia.

Willing to unconditionally trust Li Mubai, wholeheartedly being Li Mubai's follower, not asking anything, not saying anything, quietly waiting for Li Mubai to turn around and find her.

This can't be rushed. Li Mubai wondered if Yun Lianxing would be able to break through the second limit after he appeared on "I Am a Singer" this time.

Soon enough, Li Mubai and Yun Lianxing arrived at the roadside KTV.

With the "Welcome" from the teddy bear doll, Xiaoxiao stood up and excitedly stared at Li Mubai.

"My sister is upstairs!"

"Okay, help me open a private room." Li Mubai smiled.

After Xiaoxiao led Li Mubai and Yun Lingxing into a private room, placed two microphones, and served a fruit platter, Li Mubai asked Yun Lingxing to sit and wait for him.

Alone, Li Mubai went upstairs and knocked on the door.

Xu Shiwen's big eyes appeared from behind the computer screen. "You're here."

"Yeah, Sister Shiwen."

Wearing Xu Shiwen's white slippers, Li Mubai entered the room.

Xu Shiwen took out what Li Mubai gave her yesterday and got straight to the point.

"I'm willing to accompany you."

"Thank you." Li Mubai sincerely expressed his gratitude.

"But... I need to modify this partnership contract!" Xu Shiwen pushed the newly printed contract in front of Li Mubai.

Li Mubai picked it up and his expression immediately turned serious.

"This... Sister Shiwen, you..."

Xu Shiwen raised her hand to stop Li Mubai from speaking. "This is my own decision. If you don't agree, then you should find someone else, or... do you not have that much confidence in winning the championship?"

Looking at Xu Shiwen's indifferent expression, Li Mubai stared into her eyes for a while and said seriously.

"Sister Shiwen, if there's anything you need help with in the future, please let me know!"

"It was you who moved me to stand on the stage again, so I should be the one thanking you." Xu Shiwen smiled.

Li Mubai opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

"What do you want to say?"

Xu Shiwen was wearing cropped pants today, sitting in a chair with her knees hugged, revealing a slender and delicate calf.

In his heart, Li Mubai thought, "From now on until the performance, I am Sister Shiwen's person!"

"Ding dong! Xu Shiwen's luck is blessed by the host +3, host's luck value +2, protagonist Ye Feng's luck value -2."

"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for receiving a 200 yuan reward."

---

Xu Shiwen stared at Li Mubai for a few moments, feeling a bit at a loss, then turned her head and said hesitantly.

"Well, um... you don't need to worry about what happens next."

"Okay, then I'll go downstairs to practice for a while."

After leaving Xu Shiwen's room, Li Mubai squinted his eyes.

The relationship between Yun Wuyue and Xu Shiwen is not ordinary, to be able to make Xu Shiwen do this.

Xu Shiwen has put everything on the line as a bet.

What's most important is that the requested shares from Xueying Entertainment have increased so much.

Li Mubai felt that Yun Wuyue probably prepared a second gambling contract.

But it doesn't matter, since Li Mubai doesn't plan to keep the shares after the gambling contract anyway. He originally intended to give them to President Sister Yun Wuyue. If she continues to bet on him and earns more, then that's what Yun Wuyue deserves.

Back in the private room downstairs, Li Mubai and Yun Lianxing sang love songs to each other for four hours. In the middle, Xu Shiwen sneaked a glance at him and gained a batch of experience points and 4 points of free attribute points. After that, he drove home.

Li Mubai was sent back to Jinshui Shallow Bay, bidding farewell to Yun Lianxing.

First, he ordered takeout in room 601 and added an extra milk tea. Then he turned around and gave it to Xiaotong, receiving another wave of luck. Li Mubai went upstairs to room 701.

Yun Wuyue really helped Li Mubai create a perfect music practice room.

Li Mubai felt that this room was at least over a hundred square meters. It had everything from pianos to violins, and most importantly, there was a small stage equipped with an expensive sound system.

Li Mubai originally wanted to send a message to Yun Lianxing to indirectly inquire about Yun Wuyue. Unexpectedly, Yun Wuyue had already called.

This was the first time they had spoken since the incident with the check.

Li Mubai felt that Yun Lianxing had told Yun Wuyue everything he said this afternoon.

"Hello... Mubai~" Her voice couldn't suppress the excitement.

"Well, what's the matter?"

Li Mubai pretended to be nonchalant.

Yun Wuyue didn't know what to say for a moment, and it took her two seconds to respond, "Didn't you say... I can come to you if I have... needs?"

"Then come over, I'm not at school."

"Okay!"

With just one "okay," it could be heard... President Sister probably missed him both physically and emotionally.

Hmm, Li Mubai also missed her quite a bit.

In less than half an hour, Yun Wuyue arrived.

"Don't come in yet, I haven't finished showering."

At Li Mubai's deliberate arrangement, he only showed the president his back.

Through the blurry glass door of the bathroom, Yun Wuyue saw Li Mubai's vague figure, barely dressed...

The president felt that Li Mubai was a flawless jade in human form.

Every part of him made her heart full of love. So inevitably, the president felt a flame of desire burning within her, unable to wait for what would happen next...

She sat on the sofa waiting, scratching her chest for a while, until Li Mubai finally came out.

"You should go wash up too..."

"I already did when I came!" Yun Wuyue stood up anxiously.

Li Mubai displayed his acting skills, lowered his head, and walked towards the master bedroom, looking like a noble and elegant figure.

Two hours later.

Li Mubai lay satisfied on his side.

Yun Wuyue, equally satisfied, hugged Li Mubai from behind.

Li Mubai casually asked, "Wuyue, I heard that your company has been expanding rapidly in recent years."

Yun Wuyue was a bit surprised as to why Li Mubai would bring up this topic, but she still responded with a "Hmm."

"Also... Wuyue, have you been considering acquiring some courier companies recently?"

"I have thought about it. I plan to have a strategic cooperation with Baobao Shopping, but there are many people eyeing this piece of cake," Yun Wuyue said indifferently.

Yun Wuyue wasn't particularly focused on this cake. She would take a bite if she could, but it wasn't something she was really concerned about.

"Why not try a different approach? For example, instead of focusing on small courier items through e-commerce platforms, why not shift towards large-scale transportation logistics that hasn't received much attention yet?"

Li Mubai turned around and looked at Yun Er.

Yun Wuyue pondered for a moment and said, "Are you suggesting that I create a new logistics company to give others the impression that I also want to compete in the market, but then turn around and establish a new logistics company myself?"

"Yes, and I think it would be easy to implement. There are many truck drivers who only transport goods one way and return empty. If we can integrate and centralize resources from all cities and establish a cooperative relationship with these truck drivers to provide them with additional profits on their return trips, I believe they would be willing. Once the business matures, we can consider renaming the company as a courier service and absorb all these truck drivers into a formalized system."

Yun's eyes lit up as she stared at Li Mubai.

Li Mubai smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's just my unilateral speculation."

"No, this suggestion is very good. Compared to the fierce competition in the small-item business on e-commerce platforms, the competition in large-scale logistics is still weak, so there is a great opportunity for operation."

"I understand. If you think it's good, Wuyue... I just...," Li Mubai hesitated for a moment and then said, "I just think you shouldn't expand too quickly in the business."

Although we don't have anti-monopoly regulations in our country, if we delve too deep into various industries... it will lead to collective hostility."

Foreign countries have anti-monopoly laws, which is very different from the situation in our country.

The most direct response is that every time a new circle emerges, it quickly becomes a fixed pattern.

Due to the monopolies of many business giants, once a certain routine is discovered by small companies, the larger companies will start imitating or directly acquiring them, resulting in fewer and fewer innovative small enterprises... Yun Wuyue's expansion model not only dissatisfies her peers, but it may also attract attention from higher-ups.

Yun Wuyue stared at Li Mubai for a long time.

After confirming that Li Mubai had heard some rumors and considering Li Mubai's terrifying business acumen, Yun Wuyue gave Li Mubai a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I always leave myself a way out."

"That's good."

"Mubai... have you ever thought about starting your own company or entrepreneurship?"

"I have, but I feel that I don't have enough energy," Li Mubai shook his head.

"I see..."

Yun Wuyue nodded slightly, thinking that she could discuss the idea of large-scale logistics with the company's top management tomorrow. If they really start doing it, she would give Li Mubai a similar share and let him become the CEO.

Slowly, they would rely on each other.

Seeing Yun Wuyue's expression, Li Mubai knew that she had come up with something again.

He obediently closed his eyes and quietly stayed in Yun Wuyue's room.

PS: My schedule has been adjusted, so updates may not be very stable...
