Time flows quietly, and more than two weeks have passed.
During this period, Li Mu was getting familiar with his current identity while making subtle changes.
Ma Baonan couldn't do it, so he quietly confronted Mother Luo several times, and quietly took back the nominal financial power, as well as various rights that had been deprived of her.
In terms of image, he changed his hairstyle and his dressing style has also quietly changed.
Luo Jiaming himself has a good foundation, but he is let down by his personality, hairstyle and dressing style. With a slight change, he will immediately look like a handsome boy.
As a result, Mother Luo felt very happy in the past two days, praising her son for finally having an enlightenment!
Regarding Zhu Suosuo, Li Mu did not approach him forcefully, as he was not a licker. To forge iron, you need to be strong yourself. If you bloom, butterflies will come.
Why Zhu Suosuo doesn't like Luo Jiaming? Some people may say that he has no money. This is one of the reasons.
There are several other reasons that cannot be ignored.
First: Mommy’s boy hasn’t grown up yet.
Luo Jiaming is an only child. He has been cared for by his mother since he was a child. He has already joined the workforce as an adult and is still like a child. When he is drunk and unhappy, he hides in his room and cries. If he cannot catch the lock, he hides himself.
Hunger strike in the room.
Second: Lack of responsibility cannot give Suosuo the sense of security it wants.
What kind of person is Suosuo? Her parents are divorced, and her father runs a boat all the year round, and she can't see her once in several years. Even if they send her living expenses regularly to ensure her three meals a day, after all, the warmth of a family is not provided by money.
Although I don't have to worry about three meals a day when I live at my uncle's and aunt's house, I'm not from a wealthy family, so don't imagine how high your quality of life is.
How can a woman who has lost her parents and has grown up in an environment where she cannot be satisfied materially and spiritually for a long time have a sense of security?
She longs for a warm home, a place of her own, and the love and care of a mature man. Both Master Ma and Mr. Ye fall into this category.
Instead of taking care of Luo Jiaming like a sister or mother.
In the play, when faced with the pursuit of rich second-hand Xie Hongzu, her first reaction was to refuse, because Xie Hongzu and Luo Jiaming are the same type of people, both are mama's boys.
For this kind of people, even if they have money, if they have a choice, Zhu Suosuo doesn't want to make do with it.
Third: Luo’s mother is not someone to be trifled with, and with the addition of Luo Jiaming, a mama’s boy, the family will definitely be in a state of chaos after she gets married.
Under such circumstances, how could Zhu Suosuo like Luo Jiaming?
In addition, ordinary people don't have much money, so Zhu Suosuo looks down on him even more.
It cannot be said that Zhu Suosuo did something wrong. In a sense, Zhu Suosuo lived a very transparent life. She never concealed her pursuit. Is it wrong to like money and a mature and secure man?
If you are young, beautiful, and in good shape, why should you lower your standards and wrong yourself? Everyone has their own lifestyle. If you cannot be strict with yourself, don't criticize others harshly.
I don't like Luo Jiaming, I want to choose a better one, but I can't fault it.
…
That evening, as soon as Li Mu came home from get off work, Mother Luo shouted: "Jia Ming, there is your express delivery on the sofa."
Li Mu said "hmm", reached for the express and tore it open. As expected, there were two offers from Microsoft. One invited him to work at Microsoft's US headquarters, and the other invited him to work at Microsoft Research Asia's Shanghai R&D Center.
Li Mu smiled faintly. He had received the email a few days ago and had a simple communication through video. The paper offer finally arrived today. Of course, these are all due to the two vulnerabilities he submitted publicly.
Foreign technology companies have always had this tradition of directly making offers to talents who are useful to the company.
If you want to change the external impression, you can't just rely on words. You must do something practical and shocking to break their inherent thinking.
Only in this way can we gain more autonomy. With this precedent, Mother Luo will be more likely to accept whatever outrageous things she does in the future. She will feel that her son has great abilities, but has been ignored by everyone because of his personality.
Otherwise, as a mama's boy in everyone's eyes, it would be too difficult to do anything.
Sure enough, Luo Jiaming became a mama's boy for a reason. Luo's mother cared too much about him and still treated him as a child who had not grown up, and did not let go of everything.
Her son seldom buys things online, not to mention that this kind of express delivery looks like a document, which naturally arouses Luo's mother's curiosity. She did not open it in advance, which is the result of Li Mu's subtle confrontation and change during this period.
At this time, when he saw his son tearing open the express delivery, he couldn't bear it and immediately came over.
"Jia Ming, who sent it, what is it?"
Li Mu smiled without saying anything and handed over the two offers in his hand.
Luo's mother immediately accepted it curiously. The first offer came from Microsoft headquarters, and she couldn't understand it in English. Fortunately, the second offer came from Microsoft Asia Research Institute, and it was all in Chinese, and she did understand it.
Mother Luo still had some knowledge. She looked at it carefully, her expression was a little excited, her fingers were trembling a little, and she said in disbelief: "Jia Ming, this is..."
Li Muchao: "Microsoft sent me an offer, inviting me to work there."
When Luo's mother received confirmation from her son, she was excited and couldn't believe it. Although the East China University of Science and Technology that Luo Jiaming attended was a top priority, it was incomparable with the two famous schools of Fudan and Jiaotong University.
Due to his personality, his performance after graduation was not outstanding. She originally thought that her son would be like this for the rest of his life, living a mediocre life as an ordinary technician.
Unexpectedly, her son actually received an offer from Microsoft. Needless to say, Microsoft is very talented. In Mother Luo’s eyes, those who can join Microsoft are elites.
If her son can receive an invitation from Microsoft, he is naturally an elite. This is something she never dared to think about before.
"Jia Ming, is this true? What's going on? Talk to mom quickly."
Li Mu explained: "You know the Windows operating system, which is used on our home computers. The latest version of Windows 10 has many loopholes and bugs. In order to repair and improve the operating system, Microsoft has launched a global bounty program."
"If you find bugs and vulnerabilities, report them to Microsoft and you can receive a bounty. I learned this myself and researched it frequently. I actually found two vulnerabilities and submitted them to Microsoft."
"They probably recognized my skills and sent me an offer."
Mother Luo suddenly realized that children are always the best in the eyes of their parents, and she immediately believed it.
"Jia Ming, you have studied well since you were a child. Mom knows that you are smart! Look... now there is finally a company with a discerning eye."
The circles under his eyes were red as he spoke.
At this time, Zhu Suosuo was wearing a red dress, revealing half of her smooth and round shoulders, and was applying nail polish on her long, snow-white legs.
She was used to not getting involved in the Luo family's affairs, but she heard the conversation in the living room just now clearly, and finally couldn't help but walked over.
He looked surprised and said: "Jia Ming received an offer from Microsoft?"
When Mother Luo saw it was Zhu Suosuo, she immediately went over with the offer to show off and show off.
"Yes! Suo Suo, look how capable your cousin is. Microsoft! Invite him to work."
Zhu Suosuo took the offer and looked at it. She had good English skills and her face was even more surprised.
"Ah! Brother Jiaming, Microsoft's US headquarters and Asia Research Institute sent you offers at the same time."
To be honest, Zhu Suosuo was sore at this moment and even more envious. She was unemployed at home and couldn't even find a job. Her cousin, who usually looked dull and ordinary and was still a mother-in-law, actually received an offer from Microsoft. This was something she had never dreamed of.
I dare not think about it.
After listening to Zhu Suosuo's words, Luo's mother's face became even more happy: "Even Microsoft headquarters invited Jiaming to go?"
Li Mu explained: "There are two offers in total, one is from Microsoft headquarters, and you need to go to the United States to work, with an annual salary of about 450,000 US dollars."
"One is an invitation from Microsoft Research Asia, Shanghai R&D Center, to continue to stay in the local area, with an annual salary of about 1.6 million, and the position is senior researcher."
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the house fell silent, and Mother Luo was even more shocked.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars... Oh my god, that would be three million dollars if converted into RMB. You earn so much in a year, Jiaming... you finally have a big career. Mom is so happy." She said so happily that her eyes were red.
.
Li Mu said: "Mom, this is the kind of salary you can get only by working in the US headquarters. Earn US dollars and spend US dollars; the more you earn, the more you spend."
"I'm not willing to leave you and run so far away."
Mother Luo thought about it, and after struggling for a while, she finally couldn't bear to let her son run so far away.
"Yes! The United States is too far away. Otherwise, let's choose the Asia Research Institute and stay in Shanghai. The annual salary of 1.6 million is quite high."
Li Mu smiled: "Okay! Listen to me, I think so too. I'll go to the company to resign in the next two days, and I won't delay reporting to Microsoft within the month."
Mother Luo wiped the corners of her eyes and said happily: "Okay, okay! My Jiaming is finally going to have a big future."
Not only was Luo's mother happy, Zhu Suosuo was also happy for her cousin, but she was also deeply envious. How she longed to find such a good job so that she could go out independently, have her own place to live, and no longer depend on others.
One day, she will be able to wake up laughing from her dreams.
In the evening, Luo's mother cooked a large table of dishes. The whole family was full of joy and celebrated.
Seeing that Luo's mother was in a good mood, Li Mu began to make requests: "Mom, I want to go out and live."
Mother Luo was stunned for a moment, and her face was about to turn serious, but then she thought about her son who had already made a big difference and couldn't be coaxed like a child, so her face suddenly softened: "Jia Ming, you live well at home, and you don't want to go to the United States, so why go out and live there?
Spend that wasted money.”
Li Mu explained: "I checked the location of Microsoft Research Asia and the Shanghai R&D Center. It's quite far from our home. It takes a lot of time on the road every day. It's such a waste."
"Moreover, after joining Microsoft, I often need to study and work at home. The alley near our house is too noisy, which affects my concentration."
Mother Luo hesitated on her face. What her son said was indeed a problem, but she was a little worried about letting her son rent a house alone.
Li Mu then added to the anger: "Mom, I'm so old now, I should learn to be independent. I can't rely on you for everything, otherwise I won't be able to find a girlfriend."
"Do you know? People like me who can't be independent and rely on family for everything are called mom's boys outside, and no girl likes them. Mom, don't you want me to find a girlfriend?"
"When I move out and slowly learn to be independent, it will be easier for me to find a girlfriend. Maybe I can get you a daughter-in-law back soon!"
Luo's mother was tangled in her heart, her face changed again and again, and she naturally understood her son's shortcomings. He had lived under the wings of his parents since he was a child and was unable to be independent. This would indeed be a big problem in the future.
Thinking about her son's annual salary of one million and his ability to work at Microsoft, she felt a little disappointed. She no longer had the ability and vision to plan her son's future life and development.
