“So you went to see Mu Cheng?” When Rong Qing heard, he laughed outrageously: “Hahahahahahaha. He talked, didn’t he? You guys heard him talk, right?”
Lin Ji grudgingly forced a smile: “That’s right. He talked.”
The entire meeting after that, he and Gao jie had to pinch their thighs while they discussed the contract. Both of their thighs were practically bruised from the pinching.
It was really… very difficult.
To be honest, Mu Cheng was very similar to Rong Qing in certain areas. He had 100% the imposing manner of a chairman. The cold lofty feeling at the beginning really intimidated people.
But then he opened his mouth.
Gao Ning almost didn’t hold back and lost it on the spot. Afterwards, Gao Ning really felt extreme pity for her thigh. If she knew ahead of time that Mu corp’s CEO was an authentic, country Canton, would such a thing happen to her?
“Hahahahahaha I’m dying from laughter! How come you didn’t tell me earlier that you went to Mu corps. I could have told you ahead of time.” Rong Qing could almost imagine the scene.
Mu Cheng, that guy, looked pretty tricky. If he didn’t talk, he really did have a somewhat dominating aura. But when he talked… really.
“Hahahahahahahaha!” No, he can’t handle it. Once he thought about it, he just wanted to laugh.
Rong Qing fell head first onto the sofa. He almost choked on air from laughing so hard. Rolling on the sofa and holding his stomach, he tried to relieve his unfortunate muscles that were sore from laughing.
Real talk.
Mu Cheng’s mouthful of Canton accent was something not many people knew about. In the book, when he talked to the white lotus, he used Cantonese.
When speaking proper Cantonese, Mu Cheng was of course very charming. Well spoken Cantonese sounded so refined and gentle. People’s ears can get pregnant just listening to it.
However, in Rong Qing’s memory, Mu Cheng spoke Mandarin to Rong Qing with a Canton accent. That mouthful of Canton accent really was hard to describe. Mu Cheng’s Mandarin was definitely the oldest style of Mandarin in Guangdong.
As soon as it left his mouth, if it didn’t kill you, at least it’d cause some damage.
Because of this, Mu Cheng often pretended that something was wrong with his throat during all sorts of important occasions. Even his two assistants, apparently, both graduated from college with communication degrees.
Lin Ji watched Rong Qing exasperated for a moment, then also started laughing.
Alright, actually, it’s pretty funny.
As he laughed, his thigh started to hurt a bit.
“Oh!” Half way in his laughter, Rong Qing suddenly thought: “Why did you go to Mu Corp?” The urgent business that the wolf pup said before, was to go to Mu Corp?
Lin Ji didn’t think Rong Qing would actually make the connection. However, since the issue was resolved, there’s no harm telling him.
“Mu Corp thought I was too young and didn’t fit the representative position for their new product very well. However, we’ve reached an agreement now.” After Mu Cheng started talking, everything went more smoothly.
Although they secretly pinched their thighs to death, things became easier after Mu Chen started talking.
“They thought you were too young?” As soon as Rong Qing heard, he thought it strange: “How odd. Mu Cheng himself is pretty young. When he picks people, he usually chooses young people. How could he think you’re too young?” This didn’t match Mu Cheng’s character setting!

Lin Ji also felt it odd: “When we started discussing, there was no problem at all. And plus, little CEO Gao personally introduced us. Everything was good in the early stages. It was just these few days when we got ready to film, they started to cause problems.”

The Mu family was one of the big four. Rong Qing naturally had to deal with him yearly in a ‘you come to my house this year, I’ll go to your house next year’ kind of exchange.
“You’re heading over?” Lin Ji felt warm in his heart.
Rong Qing was so busy recently, but he’s heading to Mu Corp. in person. If it wasn’t for Lin Ji, then who would it be for?
“That’s right. I’m going to take a look. I have nothing to do after the meeting this afternoon anyways. I’ll go relieve boredom.” And take a look along the way. What if it was the white lotus causing problems?
It’s best to be like Song Xian and Gao Jiaxuan! And accept Rong Qing’s help to get him away from the abyss of suffering early!
Mu Corp.
Mu Cheng looked at the time and had a word with his two assistants: “This afternoon I’m going home to collect rent. If there’s anything urgent, give me a call.”
The two assistants nodded their heads in unison: “Understood, CEO Mu.”
Mu Cheng turned and entered the lounge. He changed into flip flops, a flowery shirt and shorts, and dug out a pair of crystal glasses. Putting his account book into a snake skinned bag, he let out a breath of relief.
Finally! It still feels best to return to my true self!
When Rong Qing arrived, he just missed Mu Cheng. When he heard assistant Luo say that Mu Cheng went home to collect rent, Rong Qing exclaimed inside.
Look! Mu Cheng was actually the most successful big boss in the book! He completely didn’t need to manage his company. The guy was 100% from Guangdong. A family of businessmen, a split off second generation. The number of properties he owned under his name was over 100. Every month he collected enough rent money to make his wrists sore.
Rong Qing heard that the reason why Mu Cheng started up a company was because he had so much money he didn’t know where to spend it.
Damn! Carefully take a look! This was the type of big boss life he wanted!
In a rare moment, Rong Qing squeezed lemons for a second. Then he thought.
Forget it. He was also a man with over 100 properties under his name. He didn’t even need to go collect house rent. Save him from all the trouble.
Oh right.
Rong Qing suddenly remembered.
In the past, Mu Cheng gave him an apartment as a gift. That building belonged to Mu Cheng. He might as well go there and see if he could get lucky.
In a good mood, Mu Cheng got in a small moped with the snake skin bag clenched between his legs and went off tooting. Wearing sunglasses, his big body stuffed into the little electric car, he gave off an old country Guangdong aura all over.
As he waited at the red light, he sent a group message to state that he was coming to collect rent. Although nowadays, people can pay via WeChat, he just liked collecting money in person!
So fun!
At the moment, it was peak time for people getting off work. The street was filled with cars. Mu Cheng nimbly drove the small electric car through the traffic while exclaiming nonstop.
What’s the point of buying a luxury car? It’s not even as comfortable and free as a small moped.
Along the way, the night wind carried a light cold air. Mu Cheng pondered, after he finished collecting rent, he could go drink some sweet soup.
En! It’s decided then! This was the real, perfect life!
When he drove to the entrance of the rich neighborhood, he honked the horn twice.
Strange, why isn’t the security guard letting him pass?
Mu Cheng honked twice again.
A head poked out of the gates and said in an ill-mannered tone: “Deadbeat, you think you can enter here in a moped? Why don’t you wash your mirror clean with pee and check out how you look in it!”
After saying this, he slammed the window closed. The window even appropriately swung twice.
……?
Mu Cheng slowly question marked?
This new security guard didn’t know who he was? And even dared to call him a deadbeat?
Mu Cheng suddenly laughed.
Very good! It’s been a while since he felt this invigorated!
Ai! Come come come, let me think. How should I act to make this more exciting and fun?
How about… an old Guangdong landlord gets blocked at the entrance by an ill-advised security guard and personally fires the security guard for failing his job?
Or is -a man gets insulted by the security guard as a poor deadbeat, returns in a luxury car to blind the security guard’s eyes and makes him kneel on the ground apologizing- more fun?
Aiya! This was a bit hard to choose!
Mu Cheng happily thought about it for quite a while. The guard suddenly opened the window at the gate again and yelled at him loudly: “You poor ass! Do you understand words? Hurry up and go back to the trash pile to collect your trash! Why are you standing there frozen? Let me tell you, you can’t offend anyone that lives in this neighborhood! If you keep hanging around here, don’t blame me for becoming impolite!”
When he finished, he sucked in a breath, and violently spat out a thick glob of saliva on the floor.
……
Mu Cheng’s smile gradually deepened.
Aiya.
He decided.
How about, a security guard using his position to bully people gets a good face slapping first! The man that he looked down upon is actually the neighborhood’s landlord! And now the security guard is kneeling on the ground, licking the spit off the ground and begging the landlord not to fire him! This would definitely be exciting!
It just happened, at this time a van coincidentally drove by. Mu Cheng calmly moved his moped to the side.
Let the person enter first, so he can savor his face slapping. Don’t disturb his oscar movie star performance!
However, the van slowly stopped. A face as small as a palm appeared from the rolled down window. A young man smiled innocently at him: “Are you trying to enter? Do you want to follow my vehicle and enter together? This new security guard has the eyesight of a dog and loves to look down on people. Don’t lower yourself to his level.”
Mu Cheng slightly raised his eyebrow but didn’t say anything.
Why isn’t he acknowledging me?
Xiao Ziqi froze. Actually, he’s been watching the scene just now from the start. But he waited until the security guard caused trouble for Mu Cheng the second time before deciding now was the right time to step in. According to his plan, Mu Cheng should feel moved by his thoughtfulness and kindness.
But why is he staying silent and not even saying a single word?
In the attack guide, it only said that the split off 2nd generation Mu Cheng didn’t like to talk. But did he really dislike to talk this much?
Xiao Ziqi somewhat forced himself to smile. He was just about to use today’s Favorable Impression, but unexpectedly, Mu Cheng just happened to turn his head to look at the gate at the same time. Xiao Ziqi somewhat wringed his hands for missing the opportunity.
At the gate, the guard stuck his head out again and cursed at Mu Cheng to get lost. Perhaps it’s because he saw Xiao Ziqi’s car wanting to enter, he was afraid of Mu Cheng blocking the entrance of the neighborhood and making the resident owner feel unhappy.
Delighted, Xiao Ziqi hastily grabbed the chance to say: “How about you enter with me? I was just about to file a complaint about this security guard. If you don’t mind, you can be a witness?” He knew that Mu Cheng owned a building in this neighborhood. As long as Mu Cheng nodded his head, firing this security guard would be a cinch.
Who the heck was this?
Mu Cheng felt it strange.
They were strangers meeting by chance. Why does he keep interrupting my plan to face slap?
Didn’t you know that this old Guangdong man carrying a snake skin bag, wearing flip flops, and driving a moped was the landlord? Who the heck are you to try to help me?
The scene was extremely awkward.
Until a low profile Maybach, that was completely unable to cover up its luxury, slowly drove over. The people in the three way stand-off turned their heads over in unison.
What’s going on?
Rong Qing slowly rolled down the car window. A finger thick, gold chain hung around his neck. Coming to see Mu Cheng, naturally he had to do as Romans do. Wearing an extremely similar flowery patterned shirt, Rong Qing waved at Mu Cheng.
“CEO Mu, collecting rent? When you’re done and have time, let’s get some sweet soup together!”
Hmm? Isn’t this Rong Qing?
“One moment! Just let me find someone to sack this idiot security guard!”
Rong Qing silently pinched the meat on his thighs, and maintained his elegant poise: “Alright. Also can you yell at the vehicle in the front to hurry up and enter? Why are they blocking the entrance? What the heck?”
“Okay. One moment!” Mu Cheng nodded his head and then knocked on the door of Xiao Ziqi’s car: “Handsome, did you hear?”
Then he shot a sinister smile at the security guard, pulled out the newest iphone brand, and gave the boss of this deadbeat a phone call.
As expected of Rong Qing. The result of this scenario was also very effective. He liked it!
Mu Cheng is a riot 🤣
Hey, it’s not nice to make fun of people’s ways of talking! ರ_ರ

Rong Qing really did eat those previous memories and integrate at an ungodly speed into this new life. He really does get along well with the other rich and powerful people.
