"I work here, when did you come, why didn't you hear Manrui mention it?"

Zhuang Ning said curiously.

"I haven't even seen her yet!"

When Lin Musen heard Zhuang Ning say this, his face was ugly.

"Ah, is that so? When did you arrive, did you inform her? Do you want me to call ......her for you?"

Zhuang Ning said and had already dialed the phone in his hand.

"She doesn't ......"

Lin Musen originally wanted to stop it, but it seemed quite embarrassing to open his mouth and say that Li Manrui didn't want to see him, so Lin Musen hesitated, and Zhuang Ning's phone had already been dialed.

"Hey, Manrui, guess who I met on the street?...... Haha, it's Teacher Lin, which Teacher Lin, we all know a few Teacher Lin, delay his father, Lin Musen!"

Zhuang Ning's voice was quite excited, I thought that I had helped others with kindness, but who knew that Li Manrui immediately exploded when she heard that it was Lin Musen.

"Lin Musen? He really didn't go back? This person has a sick brain, right? Now that his identity is so difficult to get, he can't do anything, what is he doing in New York, you call him......

As soon as Li Manrui heard that Lin Musen didn't go back, she immediately wanted to catch this person and scold him.

"Man Rui, don't get excited, you have something to say~"

After Zhuang Ning finished speaking, he handed the phone to Lin Musen, saying that Li Manrui wanted to talk to him.

"Why are you on the phone, where did I come from and where did I go back? You tell her that I don't rely on their mother and son to live, let her take care of me!"

After Lin Musen finished speaking, he shook his hand and left quickly, thinking that Lao Tzu would not believe it, if I didn't rely on you, I could still starve to death!

"Alas, Lin Musen, Teacher Lin?"

Zhuang Ning stood behind Lin Musen and shouted twice, and found that this person was quite decisive, so he helplessly said to Li Manrui on the other end of the phone:

"Don't be angry, he walked away on his own!"

"Go away, go away, you leave him alone, let him suffer by himself, or you still think that the rice country is full of gold!"

Li Manrui said angrily.

"Oh, aren't I also anxious for you? You said that Mike has been gone for so long, and you have always had a high vision, if Lin Musen can really take care of you by your side, my best friend will be relieved. ”

Zhuang Ning sighed and said.

"He takes care of me? I haven't been taken care of by him in my life, it's good that he doesn't come over to block me and my son! Besides, I don't need anyone to take care of me, when my parents are there, there are nannies and parents, and when they are gone, and when I am old, I will find a nursing home with good conditions to live in, how good it is to be free!"

Li Manrui dismissively said authentically.

"You, always so stubborn, as the saying goes, young couples are old companions, didn't you have any major conflicts with Lin Musen back then? If you can really be an old companion, wouldn't it be good? Anyway, I'm fed up with the days when I have to be strong alone!"

Zhuang Ning said with emotion.

"Okay, don't want to make all the women in the world as happy as you are happy, everything is fate! By the way, the next time you see him, you must not say that you work in the same unit as me, since he himself has to stay and endure hardships, let him taste what it is like to work as a black worker without an identity!"

Before hanging up the phone, Li Manrui explained to Zhuang Ning again.

"Okay, okay, I know, you two are really a pair of enemies, how old are you and still angry with each other!"

Zhuang Ning hates that iron does not become a steel tunnel.

………………………

In a blink of an eye, the time came to the end of May 2026, and the land cooperative development project between Lin Zitan and Eddie and the Eric family finally completed the first phase of the project.

In the just-completed office building, Lin Zitan and Eric sat in the temporarily prepared conference room and chatted leisurely.

"The first phase is finished, and the second phase will be completed again, and then you and Eddie will be able to sit here and count the bills!"

Eric said with a cigarette in his hand and a big smile.

"No matter where you are, no matter how much you make, it's just a drop in the bucket compared to a big company like you. ”

Lin Zitan said politely.

"Hey, the bigger the company, the more people to feed, fortunately I don't have to sit in my eldest brother's seat, it's really not so easy to be the boss, he works late every day before going home, I'm embarrassed to leave early!"

Eric complained.

"You're used to being free on your own, and it's easy to be a big boss, but aren't you already trying to take on more tasks now?"

Lin Zitan said with a smile.

"That's what you said, it's probably because I'm used to being lazy, and I'm really not used to living this kind of 9-to-5 life suddenly, but fortunately, the early days are all small cases, otherwise I guess I'll have to pick and leave directly!"

Eric laughed to himself.

"Your eldest brother probably wants to train you first, and then entrust you with important tasks!"

"Forget it, I feel that I am not this material at all, and I don't want to do so much work, and my eldest brother's two sons are about to graduate from college, and they will definitely be the objects of the company's focus on training in the future, anyway, my money is no longer spent, why bother to work hard, just get by!"

The two of them chatted with their parents for a while, and then beckoned their responsible persons to report on the progress of the second phase of the project and the third and fourth phases of the project, and then left the construction site by car.

…………………

Eric was busy with the affairs of their group, and Lin Zitan received a distress call from Lin Musen.

originally thought that Lin Musen would wait for himself to adapt to life in the United States before telling Li Manrui the fact that he stayed in New York, who knew that after Lin Musen and Zhuang Ning's chance encounter was known by Li Manrui, Li Manrui immediately called him and complained, but when he heard that Lin Zitan didn't care about him, he didn't say anything more.

In the next few days, Lin Musen honestly did express packaging for a period of time, but he couldn't stand it after doing it for a month or two, and he was almost deceived by those XJ organizations on the side of the road to do his identity, fortunately, Lin Musen's political consciousness was okay, and he went once and found that these people's brains seemed to be a little abnormal, and he said nothing next time.

Lin Musen can't stand it is not tired, but poor, working three or five hours a day, paying the rent and then removing the food money, there is little left, he originally had the habit of smoking, here at the beginning was to save money and was reluctant to buy cigarettes, after having a salary, he couldn't help but smoke more, and finally gritted his teeth and quit the packing job, and went to a supermarket to work as a stevedore.

After doing it for less than a month, I couldn't stand it anymore, and called Lin Zitan to cry, saying that he couldn't get out of bed because of low back pain, and he didn't have the money to see a doctor or anything, so he asked Lin Zitan to help him for the sake of the father's and son's blood.

Lin Zitan looked at his mobile phone, which had hesitated for a long time and had not changed its number, and reluctantly explained that Xiao An pulled him to the small hotel where Lin Musen was temporarily staying.

"Dad?"

Lin Zitan was led by the front desk to the two-person room where Lin Musen was temporarily staying, and knocked on the door gently.

"Please come in, the door is not locked~"

Lin Musen's weak voice came from inside.

"Are you tired or what's the matter?"

Lin Zitan opened the door and went in, ignoring the scrutinizing gaze of the aunt at the front desk, after all, Lin Zitan drove a luxury car like this, and a well-dressed person actually let his father live in such a small hotel, and ordinary people who didn't know really couldn't understand it for a while.

"I'm suffering from a lumbar muscle strain, how have I ever done such manual work in my life! You and your mother are really ...... Ouch~ ruthless!"

Lin Musen saw Lin Zitan push the door in, he was a little excited for a while, and suddenly there was a tingling pain from his damaged old waist, and he grinned in pain, and he had no strength to scold.
