Who moved my novel?

"Why choose here?" Dong Peng looked at Xue Mo in front of him in confusion.

"Isn't this place closer?" Xue Mo shrugged and smiled slightly: "You know, my new home is far away, and it takes a long time to go there."

"That's right." Dong Peng nodded.

"Besides, there are sofas and coffee tables here. I think it meets the basic configuration of consultation. What do you think?" Xue Mo pointed around and asked: "As a consultant, are you dissatisfied with this new 'consultation room'?"

"Not dissatisfied." Dong Peng seemed to have thought of something and smiled slightly: "This place is good, but there are a few small flaws that may affect the effect."

"Oh?" Xue Mo asked with a smile: "Where are the flaws?"

"First, this room is too big, and it is too empty after the things are moved away." Dong Peng looked around and continued: "A room that is too big and empty is not easy to feel safe, nor is it conducive to entering a more relaxed state during consultation."

"Consultation does not have to be so relaxing." Xue Mo shrugged : "Anything else?"

"Second, the sofa is too hard." Dong Peng said, pressing the "sofa" under his buttocks. It's called a sofa, but it's actually as hard as a bench: "This will be uncomfortable."

"Well, this is a problem." Xue Mo nodded: "But I can't change the sofa, just make do with it, okay?"

"That's fine." Dong Peng nodded: "And the third and most important point is that the sound insulation here is very poor."

"Soundproof?" Xue Mo knocked on the wall with his hand: "Actually it's okay, not particularly bad, but it's really not as good as the consulting room."

"This will affect the visitor's opening up a little bit, after all, everyone will worry that there are ears on the wall." Dong Peng looked at the walls around him, and while talking, he looked around, as if he was looking for something.

"Are you looking for ears?" Xue Mo asked jokingly.

"Yeah." Dong Peng nodded: "But it may not be that easy to find."

"Then don't look for it yet." Xue Mo thought for a while and continued: "We still have one last consultation, let's start now?"

"So anxious?" Dong Peng retracted his gaze and put it on Xue Mo: "Are you impatient to ask me for help?"

"Of course not, you are my friend and have helped me a lot, why would I want to ask you for help?" Xue Mo shrugged: "It's just that some things can't be delayed all the time, right?"

"Maybe." Dong Peng took out a box of cigarettes and took out one: "Xue Mo, it's true that it can't be delayed all the time, but it should be okay to give me a cigarette, right? My, friend."

"Okay." Xue Mo nodded: "But I have to wait for me to open the window."

"Okay." Dong Peng nodded, took out a delicate metal lighter, and lit the cigarette in his hand.

"Nice lighter." Xue Mo said casually.

"Yeah." Dong Peng nodded: "I wanted to give it to a friend, but for some reason I haven't given it away."

"That's a pity."

"Let's not talk about that." Dong Peng exhaled a puff of smoke: "Before the consultation begins, why don't we chat for a while, a cigarette, how about it?"

"Well..." Xue Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"What do you think of the current world situation?" Dong Peng asked a question that seemed far away.

"World situation?" Xue Mo thought about it and shook his head: "I don't know either. It's useless to know. This is not something I should manage, nor is it something I can control."

"Too big? Then Chixin City, the situation in Chixin City." Dong Peng took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, burning two-thirds of it at once.

"The situation in Chixin City?" Xue Mo was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Recently, Chixin City is a bit chaotic, but I think with the efforts of the Chixin City Public Security Bureau, it should get better in the future. At least, there should be fewer murders."

"Is that so." Dong Peng nodded, "What about the others?"

"Others?" Xue Mo looked at Dong Peng in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

"Well..." Dong Peng took a puff of cigarette and blew out a faint smoke ring, "People's lives, economic development, or something, hey, did you see it? I blew out a smoke ring!"

"Great." Xue Mo praised without any heart, and then continued to answer Dong Peng's question, "I don't know what it will be like in the end, but just to say my opinion, I think Chixin City will become much better than before."

"Why do you say that?" Dong Peng took the cigarette in his hand, but didn't smoke it, but looked at Xue Mo quietly.

"First, Chixin City now has an economic pillar. Just from this point of view, the economy will be much better than before, not to mention that it will also drive the development of other related industries."

"Yeah." Dong Peng nodded and said nothing.

"Second, people in Chixin City are also gradually exposed to new things." Xue Mo thought for a while and continued: "Everyone is no longer afraid to contact new knowledge like before, and no longer sticks to their comfort zone like before. This is progress."

"This is also the result of the economy." Dong Peng took a puff of cigarette and commented lightly.

"Third, there are fewer people in Chixin City who shouldn't exist." Xue Mo looked at Dong Peng, his eyes filled with strange colors: "A lot of people have died in Chixin City recently, but they were all evil people. With their death, Chixin City can develop better."

"Yeah." Dong Peng smiled slightly and nodded: "What you said is right, but is it really the case? Will it really get better?"

"Why do you ask that?" Xue Mo frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Because." Dong Peng sighed: "Breaking the balance means unknowns and risks."

After speaking, Dong Peng put out the cigarette butt that had already burned to the butt: "Let's start the consultation. I hope we can cooperate happily for the last time."
