"Are you still working as a part-time model outdoors during this time?" Li Zhi changed the subject and asked.
When it comes to matters of the heart, Li Zhi is not ready to dwell on them for the time being. Mu Xiaomei can be considered his benefactor now, and he can't just take advantage of her.
There are plenty of women in the world, so why harm a woman who is good to you?
Although it's a twisted reasoning, Li Zhi thinks so.
Mu Xiaomei shook her head and said with a light smile, "I've stopped." The circle is quite chaotic, so now I work part-time as an online writer, focusing on internet-related topics. "The fees I earn are not insignificant, and I don't have to frequently run around outside, which would interfere with my studies!"
Does Mu Xiaomei write online?
This is a bit beyond Li Zhi's expectations.
"Oh, stop talking about me all the time." How about you? Didn't you say you were going to open a factory some time ago? Have you started? "What are you planning to do?" Mu Xiaomei curiously asked.
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, I've opened it." The factory is located outside the city, in a small village by the sea. Right now, we mainly produce fish meatballs…" He paused for a moment, then smiled and continued, "As for the future, it will definitely involve things like airplanes, ships, rockets, aircraft carriers, electronic manufacturing, and so on!"
Mu Xiaomei's eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she looked at Li Zhi with a surprised expression. "Wow, that's amazing!" "Brother Zhi will definitely make a lot of money in the future, right?"
Pretending to be naive, acting cute, and feigning innocence, her acting skills are truly impressive.
Li Zhi nodded with a smile and said in agreement, "Of course, with such a large investment, I have to make several billion dollars in profit every year." If I earn less, wouldn't it be a loss?
"Haha, when you actually make several billion US dollars in the future, will you come back to support a young lady like me?" Mu Xiaomei said, throwing a flirtatious look at Li Zhi.
This little vixen.
Looking at Mu Xiaomei, Li Zhi shook his head and said with a smile, "Supporting you would be belittling you." If there ever comes a day when I am worth several billion US dollars, at least half of it will be yours. "Even if you want to take it all, it's just a matter of words!"
For some reason, Li Zhi's words made Mu Xiaomei feel a little upset. Can't he even promise to "support" her? She doesn't like Li Zhi's money!
Why does she have to be so picky when someone is rushing to be your mistress!
If Li Zhi were to know what Mu Xiaomei was thinking, he would probably spit out the cold drink he had just consumed.
Is it possible that in this day and age, having a small chest is associated with having a low IQ?
"Can I borrow some money and return it to your original bank account, okay?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.
Mu Xiaomei frowned and looked at Li Zhi in confusion, "Aren't you going to use that money to start a factory?"
"Yes, the factory has already started, and I just made a small profit of two hundred thousand!" Li Zhi said with a relaxed smile.
Just a few days and he can make two hundred thousand? Isn't that money too easy to earn? Regardless of what Li Zhi said, Mu Xiaomei didn't believe his words.
"You can use it first; I don't need the money right away." Mu Xiaomei looked at Li Zhi and joked, "Keep it with you, and when you make more, you can give me interest." I'm a loan shark, charging interest on interest. "Do you think it's easy to borrow money from me?"
Li Zhi thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Alright, consider this money as your investment in the factory." "This way, you can also receive dividends from the factory every year."
"Whatever, just don't let me miss out!" Mu Xiaomei nodded with a smile. She didn't take Li Zhi's words too seriously. The ten thousand yuan, although described as borrowed, was actually willingly given to Li Zhi by her.
"Let's catch our breath, and then we can go eat." "What do you feel like eating?"
Mu Xiaomei tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's go eat braised chicken. A new place just opened nearby, and the taste is really good!"
Braised chicken?
Li Zhi smiled wryly to himself. He knew that Mu Xiaomei was trying to save money for him, but, well, braised chicken it is. Upon seeing Mu Xiaomei's joyful expression, Li Zhi nodded.
"Alright, I'll go with your choice."
Li Zhi got up to pay the bill, but Mu Xiaomei had already gone to the counter and settled it.
"This is my way of making up for being late." "You can treat me to dinner later." Mu Xiaomei took the change from the waiter and stuck her tongue out at Li Zhi, smiling.
Li Zhi touched his nose and said with a smile, "Why do I feel like I'm being taken care of by you?"
Mu Xiaomei playfully rolled her eyes at him and naturally took his arm, walking outside.
After finishing the braised chicken, it was only 7:30, and the sun hadn't completely set yet.
Go back?
Too early!
Not going back?
Where to go?
Li Zhi looked at Mu Xiaomei walking beside him, holding onto his arm, and said softly, "Can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead!" Mu Xiaomei held onto Li Zhi's arm and didn't let go. In fact, she didn't want to go anywhere; just walking with him like this made her very happy.
"I have nothing now. Why are you still willing to be with me?" Li Zhi couldn't understand. Initially, they came together due to financial reasons, but now he is penniless.
Mu Xiaomei smiled and leaned her head on Li Zhi's shoulder, murmuring softly, "I prefer you when you have nothing because, at this time, you seem more like a person!"
More like a person?
Li Zhi touched his nose, feeling both amused and helpless. Did he not seem like a person before?
"It's not what you think. I didn't mean to insult you." I mean, being with you now is more comfortable. "Before, you were too domineering." Mu Xiaomei realized her slip of the tongue and hurriedly explained.
Li Zhi smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's okay, you can scold me." "I really wasn't much of a person before… I'll try to be more of a person in the future!"
"You've really changed a lot!" Mu Xiaomei muttered softly.
Li Zhi laughed and said, "A person will change!"
"It's still early. Should I take you back to school, or would you like to go see a movie?"
Mu Xiaomei jumped with joy and said, "Do I even need to say?" "Of course, let's go watch a movie!" Then she glanced at Li Zhi and whispered, "But I can't accompany you tonight."
Li Zhi was stunned!
Mu Xiaomei blushed and muttered, "Oh, my relatives are coming!"
Li Zhi lightly tapped her head and said with a smile, "What are you thinking?"
"…," Mu Xiaomei blushed and rolled her eyes at him. If she didn't say it, would you not believe it? It's better to clarify things now rather than have you dwell on them later.
Li Zhi was innocent. He truly didn't think in that direction, but Mu Xiaomei didn't believe that he didn't.
Not far ahead, there was a digital cinema. Li Zhi bought two pairs of tickets and then purchased popcorn and drinks from the theater.
They walked in together.
The movie they chose was a sci-fi film called "Robot Empire III," which had just been released and was performing exceptionally well at the box office. At least half of the people who came to the cinema were there to see this movie.
For Mu Xiaomei, it didn't matter which movie they watched; the most important thing was the company she was with.
