*They obviously not good at something, but insist on spending a lot of energy to do it.
Taking advantage of the company’s lunch break, Xiao Zhao used her laptop to start an online video conference.
Ning Xin and two other executives appeared on the computer screen, but Ning You shared a camera with three people —— for no other reason, the conditions here were too crude.
Ning You and Li Mu occupied the middle of the video screen, while Xiao Zhao sat next to Ning You, holding a notebook in her hand to record the contents of the meeting.
Behind the three of them is a yellowed white wall, which looks quite old-fashioned .This forestry office is already a rare brick-and-concrete building in Tuva village, but it is nothing compared to the splendid style of Ning’s technology office building.
“Are you sure you want to keep an eye on this project yourself?” Ning Xin asked, “Don’t stay for a few days and then feel that the conditions are tough and come running back.”
“No.” Ning You said and looked at the person beside him, “I have Li Mu to accompany me here.”
As long as Li Mu is by his side, Ning You can stay anywhere.
Li Mu nodded to Ning Xin on the screen when he heard the words, and greeted, “Hello, auntie.”
“Let me remind you that you are working.” Ning Xin said, “Don’t use the pretense of work to discuss romantic love with me.”
“Since we are working,” Ning You said in a businesslike manner, “Let’s get down to business.”
The subject of this meeting was to discuss the benefits of employees coming to Xinjiang for business trips. The conditions here in Hanas are difficult and the winter atmosphere is very cold. If only subsidies are provided, only a small number of technicians would be willing to come.
“Therefore, the basic living conditions must be guaranteed.” Ning You said, “After the project takes shape, we can then recruit people from the local area, which can also save costs.”
“What’s the situation over there now?” Ning Xin asked.
Ning You briefly introduced Tuva Village, and then said: “At present, we first need to solve the accommodation problem of our employees.”
“I can be responsible for solving this problem.” Li Mu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, “If it is necessary to be stationed over here for a long time, I can fund the construction of the staff quarters.”

“Yeg ojwlis.” Ol Ze rjlv, “P klii mbcnlcmf atf rtjgftbivfgr ab qjgalmlqjaf lc atlr qgbpfma.”
“If that’s the case,” Ning Xin paused, “Then it’s not just as simple as building staff quarters”
After the meeting, Ning You relaxed and leaned on the back of his office chair and said, “I finally know why my mother likes Li Zhao.”
“Because they have the same mindset.” Li Mu also leaned back in his chair, “They’re the same kind of people.”
Commonly known as mobsters, and these two are the elites in the society, no matter what they do, they put their own interests first. Just now, when Li Mu said that he wanted to participate in this project, Ning Xin began to talk about various conditions, and even Ning You felt that this was plain exploitation.
But fortunately, Li Mu has been dealing with Li Zhao all year round, and he has not lost the battle. He just agreed that his own company would also send technical staff in medicine to assist in the research here.
Ning You looked at Xiao Zhao beside him and asked, “Are you still satisfied with this kind of benefit?”
Although Xiao Zhao had no choice, she was also one of the people who came to Xinjiang on a business trip. She nodded and said, “With double pay plus various subsidies, there should be a lot of people willing to come over here.”
“That’s good.” Ning You said, “But there is one more thing that I want to discuss with you.”
Usually when they hear such words from their superiors, employees will be on guard, fearing that something bad will happen. However, Xiao Zhao didn’t respond, calmly closed her notebook and asked, “Are you going to transfer me away?”
“I may not stay in Jin City for a long time in the future.” Ning You said. Although Xiao Zhao is not married yet and does not need to take care of her family, no one likes to run around all year round.
Ning You is not sure how long he would stay in Xinjiang, but what is certain is that he would definitely stay with Li Mu. Judging from Li Zhao’s previous statement, Li Mu’s activities are not fixed in one place, so it is likely that after the Xinjiang project is completed, the two will go to other places again.
It’s hard to be certain about everything in the future. Xiao Zhao is just a normal employee, and Ning You can’t change the nature of her work at will.
“I really don’t wish to go on a business trip for a long time.” Xiao Zhao has been by Ning You’s side for a long time, and she knows Ning You’s temper well, so she dared to speak bluntly, “If possible, I still wish to work in Jin City.”
“Understandable.” Ning You said, “Then do you have any department in mind?”
Xiao Zhao belongs to the all-round talent, able to do everything, but also unable to excel in anything. However, Ning You believes that if she is put into any department, she will be able to adapt quickly.
“This…” Xiao Zhao said embarrassedly, “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“Then you’d better stay by my side during this period.” Ning You said, “Let me know when you have considered it.”
“Good.” Xiao Zhao nodded, “Thank you, Chief Ning.”
There are small restaurants run by villagers in Tuva village, which have been doing poorly since the scenic area was closed.
Li Mu brought the two here to take care of business. The long-lost Xinjiang cuisine made Ning You’s index finger twitch. The potatoes in the large plate of chicken are completely delicious, soft and glutinous, and they melt on his tongue. The lamb skewers have no gamey taste, with the lean and fatty meat perfectly balanced, and the taste is excellent.
The advantage of traveling on a business trip is that you don’t have to abide by the company’s rules. By the time the three people finish their meal, they have already passed the usual afternoon working hours.
Coming out of the small restaurant, all that can be seen is snow-white. If you step on it, the snow can drown your entire ankle. Ning You suddenly picked up a handful of snow from the ground on a whim and splashed it on Li Mu’s face like a water fight.
Li Mu inclined his head to dodge a bit and asked Ning You, “Are you sure you want to play in the snow with me?”
Ning You didn’t answer, and bent down again, trying to make mischief again, and at this moment, Li Mu suddenly grabbed his waist from the side, then grabbed a ball of snow from the ground and stuffed it into the clothes on the back of his neck.
Li Mu’s action is a one-two punch, and at first glance he was used to doing such bad things. And where had Ning You seen such a “dirty” trick, originally his nice and warm back suddenly suffered the attack of ice and snow, and he was so cold that he jumped in place.
“Li Mu! It’s cold! Get it out of me!”
Only then did Li Mu remembered how delicate his white swan was, and he couldn’t bear to torment him, so he quickly helped Ning You pull up the hem of his clothes and shook the snow from his back.
“You’re so damned annoying!” Some snow crumbs fell from Ning You’s hand, and he shook it off and flung it all onto Li Mu.
“Didn’t you want to play…” Li Mu was also helpless, helping Ning You clean up the remaining snow on his neckline, “Is it still cold?”
“Can’t you be a little more gentle?” Ning You said, “Last time, also at the lake, you just splashed my face with the footbath water.”
Xiao Zhao on the other side looked at the two people in a complicated mood, and suddenly found that the description of the male vixen was not correct. This Young Master Li is a totally and clearly straight man.
After a while, Ning You seemed to have been coaxed. It was only then that he remembered that there was a third person present. He looked at Xiao Zhao and said, “Xiao Zhao, are you coming to play too?”
“Uh, I……” Before Xiao Zhao could finish her sentence, Ning You had already grabbed a ball of snow and thrown it at her pants.
“Don’t be so formal, since you’re here on a business trip, you should have fun.” Ning You said.
“Okay.” Xiao Zhao also loosened her whole body, molded a big snowball on the ground, and threw it in Ning You’s direction.
She swore that she had never been so accurate in throwing in her entire life, and saw a big snowball whooshing past, slammed on Ning You’s face, and exploding into a big snowflake.
Ning You was directly smashed, dumbfounded, he looked at Xiao Zhao incredulously, Xiao Zhao interpreted the message “do you still want to work”. She suddenly felt that she couldn’t blame Chief Li, it was clearly her own boss who was addicted to playing and yet couldn’t afford to play.
She looked at Li Mu on the side again, and found that Li Mu’s eyes looked at her inexplicably murderously. Well, neither of these two could afford to be offended.
In the midst of embarrassment, Xiao Zhao’s phone rang suddenly. She picked up the phone as if she had been granted amnesty. After a while, she said to Ning You: “Chief Ning, there are media who want to interview us for this project. Do you want to arrange it here?”
Ning You patted the snow on his face cleanly and asked, “Which media?”
Xiao Zhao reported the name of a well-known newspaper.
Ning You nodded thoughtfully and looked at Li Mu and said, “It’s my mother.”
It was just decided that the two would work together in the morning, and Ning Xin had already made an appointment for media reports in the afternoon. She really didn’t delay at all.
“Is it in Xinjiang?” Li Mu looked around, “But we don’t have anything here yet.”
“The media’s intention is mainly to report on the union and mention the project in passing.” Xiao Zhao continued, “After all, we haven’t officially announced to the public that you have changed your fiancé candidate.”
“Okay.” Li Mu nodded.
“And then there’s……” Xiao Zhao paused, “The media wants to know, when are you getting married?”
What do you think about tomorrow? Beautiful day, good weather
