That afternoon, Li Mu was reading and drinking tea on the balcony, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
He frowned, wondering who was visiting at this hour.
There are only two people who come here the most, Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao.
It was impossible for Fan Shengmei. Recently, the three little sisters were very busy starting their own business. They got up early every day and came back late at night. Nine-nine-six was no longer enough, and they almost turned it into zero-nine-seven.
At this point, it is impossible for Fan Shengmei to be at home.
Qu Xiaoxiao is equally unlikely.
A few months ago, as if she knew that Li Mu really had no intention of falling in love, Qu Xiaoxiao's enthusiasm for him dropped a lot, and she studied foreign languages with Li Mu less frequently.
Until her brother Qu Lianjie's death and the whole family was in danger, Qu Xiaoxiao no longer wanted to show off and lived in Ode to Joy. The family property company was almost gone, so there was no need to fight for anything.
From that day on, she rarely returned to the Ode to Joy community and was said to have been living with Qu's mother.
Therefore, it is unlikely to be Qu Xiaoxiao.
But if it wasn’t these two, who else could it be?
Li Mu was a little confused, so he walked over and opened the door.
"Brother Li Mu!" A charming figure rushed over with tears streaming down her face.
"Xiao Xiao, why are you here?"
Qu Xiaoxiao lay in Li Mu's arms and said aggrievedly: "Brother Li Mu, something happened to my family."
Li Mu said: "I heard about it, but it's a pity that I couldn't help."
Li Mu was telling the truth. After the Qu family's company exploded, he had to invest at least one billion in funds to save the company. If he could scrape together the money, he would be able to scrape it together.
But now is the critical moment for Origin Technology's financing. Every amount of money Li Mu has is the confidence to negotiate with investment institutions. It is impossible for him to allocate more than 1 billion in funds for Qu Xiaoxiao, mess up the situation, and affect Origin Technology's development.
Financing negotiations.
Moreover, this is also the Qu family who is playing with fire and cannot blame others.
Qu Xiaoxiao lay on Li Mu's chest and felt sad for a while, then raised her head and said leisurely: "Brother, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Li Mu was surprised and said: "What's wrong? Where are you going?"
Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes were red and she said: "Everything is gone. There is nothing in our house. Even the house upstairs was sealed up and auctioned by the court. I can no longer live in Ode to Joy, and I can never see you again."
It’s time for brother Li Mu.”
Tears flowed down as he spoke.
Li Mu didn't know whether Qu Yaojing was pretending to arouse his sympathy, or whether he was showing his true feelings. But one thing was true, the Qu family really had nothing.
The house in 2203 upstairs was originally bought by Qu Xiaoxiao by borrowing money from Yao Bin. Since Yao Bin suffered a major blow, he broke away from the small circle and rarely contacted Qu Xiaoxiao anymore.
Qu Xiaoxiao was very discerning, so he took a sum of money from Qu's mother and paid back the borrowed money.
Unfortunately, Qu's mother's money was misappropriated from the company. Based on the flow of funds, the court also sealed house 2203.
Looking at the pitiful Qu Xiaoxiao in front of him, Li Mu said: "If you don't live here anymore, where are you going to go?"
Qu Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I don't know either. All the houses in my family are gone, and the money is gone. I live with my mother in a small hotel now."
"I received a notice from the court today that 2203 has been photographed. I'm here to pack my things and meet brother Li Mu by the way."
Li Mu said: "Where's your dad? Why do you let you and your mother live in a small hotel?"
Mentioning Qu's father, Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red again.
"My dad divorced my mom two days ago. He shouldered the remaining debts and returned to his hometown."
"Now, my mother and I are the only two people left in Shanghai. All our savings have been seized by the court to pay off debts. We can't even pay the deposit for renting a house. We can only afford to stay in a small hotel for a while."
"Brother Li Mu, our family is gone and everything is gone. You won't dislike me, right?"
As he spoke, the tears couldn't stop flowing out, and he hugged Li Mu tightly with both hands, as if they were growing on him.
Li Mu patted her on the back: "How could that be? You must have suffered a lot during this period. What are you going to do in the future?"
Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at Li Mu cautiously, looking a little uneasy: "I don't know, the subsidiary I was responsible for before has been auctioned off by the court to pay off its debts, and now I don't even have a job."
"My academic qualifications are not good either. I only went to high school in China and went to a pheasant university abroad. It's hard to find a good job."
"I used to laugh at Sister Fan, Yingying, and point fingers at them. Now I know their difficulties and understand why Sister Fan cares about money so much, because now I care about money more than she does, and I understand the importance of money.
.”
"Without money, it's difficult for my mother and I to survive. We might end up living on the streets if we run out of money and can't find a job."
As he spoke, he showed a pitiful expression, and arched his body in Li Mu's arms, looking at him eagerly.
"Brother Li Mu, I'm scared, can you help me?"
Li Mu sighed and pinched her tender face. It was rare to see her looking so well-behaved.
Obviously, the changes in her family had knocked away a lot of her pride and self-confidence. From then on, she, Qu Xiaoxiao, was no longer the rich second generation. She was no different from Yingying and Fan Shengmei, or even worse. They started a business together, and now they have developed
It is full of sound and color, much better than Qu Xiaoxiao who has nothing now.
"Okay, why are you so pitiful? As long as I'm here, I won't let you live on the street."
With that said, he reached out to take the phone from the side, opened it, clicked on a page of documents, and asked Qu Xiaoxiao to take a look.
"This is..." Qu Xiaoxiao had some guesses and some doubts.
Li Muchao: "In the auction contract of 2203, wasn't your house auctioned by the court? I found someone to take a photo of it."
"You can still live in this house from now on, as long as you want. Don't worry, I won't charge you rent."
Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with joy, she excitedly wrapped her hands around Li Mu's neck and kissed him.
After being bored for a while, Li Mu looked at Qu Xiaoxiao, who was obviously in a better mood, and asked, "Now that you have a place to live, what are you going to do in the future? Should you find a stable job, or go out on your own."
Qu Xiaoxiao struggled for a moment, then hugged Li Mu's arm and looked very weak.
"Brother Li Mu, people don't know. I listen to you. I will do whatever my brother tells me to do. I promise to be obedient."
With a "pop" sound, Li Mu slapped her on her pert buttocks.
"speak nicely."
Qu Xiaoxiao looked sweet and serious: "Brother, everything they say is true. I will listen to you from now on. They will do whatever you ask them to do."
"How about brother arrange a job for me!"
Li Mu smiled: "You little goblin!"
"With your temper, I would definitely not be able to stand it as an ordinary employee. There is a place that would suit you very well."
Qu Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Where?"
Li Mu said: "Do you know what these people in 2202 are doing?"
Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "Aren't they starting a business together? Brother Li Mu, you provided them with the direction, resources and funds."
"Brother, do you want me to work at their place?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "It's not about working, it's about being a partner, starting a business with them, and making that company a success."
"Xiao Xiao, although your basic skills are not good, after all, I have been a boss. I know your abilities and skills, and you have a good vision. I believe that after you join, you will be of great help to the development of the company."
"How about it, do you want to join them?"
Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes were bright, as if there were sparks flickering. In the past, when there was such a big family fortune waiting for her to inherit, she might not care about such an opportunity.
Now, the Qu family has been defeated and she has nothing. It can be said that she has been reduced to the bottom of society. Without opportunities and help from noble people, she will be like this for the rest of her life. Like ordinary people, she will be a house slave all her life, working hard for others.
Now, such a bright opportunity is before her eyes. This is her hope to escape from the bottom of society and stand up again. She must seize it no matter what.
"Brother, I am willing..." He said it, as if he felt that he still couldn't express his feelings at the moment, and his body wrapped around him like a snake.
It had been a long time since she had studied a foreign language with her brother, and she wanted to brush up on it.
…
The next day, Qu Xiaoxiao and Qu Mu officially moved back to 2203, and this will be their new home from now on.
Several girls on the 22nd floor also heard about the Qu family and were very friendly to them.
After all, Qu's mother has experienced great storms and experienced hard times when she was young. She adapted quickly and got along well with the neighbors on the 22nd floor.
Only Qu Xiaoxiao faced the sympathetic looks of several little sisters. For a moment, she felt strange and a little uncomfortable. She, Qu Xiaoxiao, would one day be pitied.
However, she no longer had the capital and confidence to start things off and cause trouble, so she could only calm down and adjust herself silently, and slowly adapted to it.
A few days later, at Li Mu's suggestion, Qu Xiaoxiao officially joined 2202 Network Media Company as a founding team member and served as the company's vice president and marketing director.
Qu Xiaoxiao's ability is indeed good. After all, she has been a boss for such a long time and has managed the company in an orderly manner. Her joining has brought a new vitality to the newly established startup company, making up for the shortcomings of the other people.
Some shortcomings.
Soon the girls got together and worked hard for their careers together.
For a time, Andy was the only one left on the 22nd floor. She was alone, which made her very uncomfortable.
It is impossible for her to leave Yuandian Technology and start a business with a few sisters. The market size is too small and cannot support her ambitions.
Finally, at Li Mu's suggestion, I invested some money and became a shareholder of 202 Network Media Company. I usually work as a consultant behind the scenes and guide the company's development. In a sense, I started a business with my little sisters.
For a time, this small start-up company and Ode to Joy gathered together.
In view of this, the name 2202 Network Media is no longer applicable. After discussion, the company has a new name, "Happy Five Sisters Network Media Company."
With Andy's advice and the concerted efforts of all the little sisters, the company developed rapidly and quickly became prominent, attracting a lot of attention.
