Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 151 Sketching, Drawing an Old Man at Three Years Old

What the hell is this monthly subscription? Do you think it's like renting a computer at an internet cafe or getting a gym membership? Monthly subscription? It makes me, Lin, sound like I'm selling myself and my art.

To be honest, he only got the chance to take action today because his teacher, Professor Li, was there to vouch for him; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance.

Before leaving, Jiang Jianguo made a point of adding both Pan Limin and Jiang Jianguo on WeChat, thinking that the old man could contact them if he needed massage in the future.

But his teacher, Professor Li, immediately spoke up, saying that normally he could just contact Pan Limin.

After getting in the car, I sent him a message to remind him not to give massages to others casually, especially in formal occasions, since he wasn't around.

He doesn't mind giving massages to friends in private, but he absolutely won't do it when it comes to giving massages to patients.

It's not a problem with his skills, but rather that he doesn't have the necessary medical qualifications. If something goes wrong, it could be a serious matter. Professor Li, as a veteran of traditional Chinese medicine for so many years, naturally knows the implications, and he did this to protect him.

When Ms. Jiang returned from the entrance of the residential area, she saw Jiang Jianguo smoking in the living room.

“Brother, don’t worry, Dad is fine now. Didn’t Dr. Li say that?” Ms. Jiang said.

Jiang Jianguo nodded upon hearing this; what Dr. Li said was undoubtedly the best news.

"Brother, you should retire soon too, don't put so much pressure on yourself," Ms. Jiang continued.

Jiang Jianguo took a deep drag on his cigarette, then stubbed it out in the ashtray and said, "I'm not under any pressure. I know I can't go any higher once I'm in this position. I'm just thinking that before I retire, I should pave the way for my son. If the old man is in good health, things will go more smoothly."

Don't think that Grandpa Jiang is useless after retiring for so many years. As long as he is still alive, he will be a great help to this family.

After all, the old connections and relationships are still there. With the old man around, there's a lineage to carry on the family tradition, which is still a great help.

Hearing this, Ms. Jiang nodded. Although her family was not involved in politics, they had indeed received a lot of care from her family over the years. Not to mention, they had received many preferential policies and avoided a lot of trouble.

So she would be quite willing to see her family take things a step further.

On the other side, Miss Yuan and her companion drove at breakneck speed towards the school, and soon the car stopped downstairs in Chengyue Community.

"Sister Yuan, come with me to the city tomorrow to see Sister Ruyan," Lin Mo said as the two entered the elevator.

Miss Yuan was taken aback by his words: "What? You've been missing me these past two days?"

"No, I was just thinking of paying you two back the money," Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Huh? You've finished in just two days? How much did you make?" Miss Yuan was a little surprised, but when she saw the smile on Lin Mo's face, she knew that he must have made a profit.

"Oh, it's not much, just a little bit," Lin Mo said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

Miss Yuan: "I absolutely hate men who are ambiguous and unclear. How much exactly is 'a little'?"

Lin Mo: "Just tens of thousands!"

Miss Yuan: "Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands?"

For Miss Yuan, if she only made tens of thousands of yuan on an investment of over five million yuan, she would believe it was a loss. She simply couldn't accept that.

“For you, Sister Yuan, that’s pocket money,” Lin Mo said with a smile.

Less than 200 million is indeed pocket money for Miss Yuan.

Seeing that he wouldn't say anything, Miss Yuan scoffed and didn't press him further.

Lin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, it would be fine if he had actually used the money to do business, but using it to speculate in stocks, even though he made a profit, he was still a little embarrassed to say it.

Although he knew he was guaranteed to make a profit, others still saw it as a gamble.

Soon, the elevator doors opened, and instead of going to Miss Yuan's secret hideout, the two went directly to Chuanmei's apartment downstairs.

As soon as the two pushed open the door, they saw Chuanmei and Wang Chu each holding a wine glass filled with a dark liquid, elegantly toasting each other.

Several side dishes were also laid out on the table: chives, oysters, lamb kidneys, and so on. For a moment, the four men exchanged glances, and Lin Mo saw unease and awkwardness in the eyes of Wang and the other man.

Two minutes later, Miss Yuan patted the sofa cushions and laughed.

"No, no, you guys in the whole dorm are all weak? Did you two do something naughty behind my back last night, or did the Sichuan girl transform into Li Shiya and ruin you two? I've never seen a whole bunch of weak girls like this before, hahaha!"

Three people:
What kind of thought process is this? How could someone come up with something like this?
"No, Sister Yuan, don't think nonsense. One of them is yin deficiency and the other is yang deficiency, sob sob sob." Lin Mo was about to explain when the two of them covered his mouth.

The Sichuan girl said, "That's right, the three of us are weak. Men, nine out of ten are weak!"

Director Wang: "Actually, we're both fine, but Lao Mo has been weak for a long time, and this is his second course of treatment."

Hearing this, Miss Yuan stopped laughing, pointed to the table and said, "I understand, I understand. I can understand this table full of kidney tonics, but what's the point of you two drinking Chinese medicine from stemmed glasses?"

Sichuan girl: "My elegance will never go out of style!"

Three people:
Soon, Lin Mo also joined the group of people taking the medicine. After the two finished their kidney-tonifying meal, the four of them went upstairs to Miss Yuan's secret hideout to relax and unwind.

Meanwhile, in a coffee shop, Liu Ruyan sat demurely, her long, slender, white fingers holding a spoon as she slowly stirred her coffee, a faint smile on her face, but upon closer inspection, it revealed a hint of helplessness.

Opposite her sat a smartly dressed woman with short hair, who was scrutinizing her.

"Why didn't you tell me you'd been back in Jiangning for so long? Or did I find out about you from someone else?"

The woman had a clear, melodious voice, a pretty face, and a figure even better than Liu Ruyan's. However, she wore no makeup and had slightly dark skin, but this did not detract from her beauty; instead, it added a touch of heroic spirit to her.

"I've only been back for a short time, and I'm quite busy with work," Liu Ruyan said.

Hearing this, the woman frowned slightly: "You're not deliberately avoiding me?"

"Really, no, we don't have any grudges against each other, why would I avoid you? I haven't been feeling well lately, otherwise I would definitely have asked you out for a meal, after all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, have we?" Liu Ruyan sighed helplessly.

"Are you feeling unwell? How are you? Have you seen a doctor?" the woman asked anxiously.

Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "I went. The doctor said I have a hormonal imbalance and told me to find a boyfriend as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the woman frowned: "What's so good about men? I definitely won't date one. Don't be fooled, I..."

"Alright, it's not normal to find a boyfriend. You're already so old. Okay, I have something to do, I'm leaving now. You should go home early too. Keep in touch when you have time." After saying that, Liu Ruyan got up, waved her hand, and then left without waiting for the woman's reply, got into her car and drove away.

Judging from their behavior, Liu Ruyan seemed to be avoiding this woman at all costs.

Time flew by, and Lin Mo played at Miss Yuan's secret base until 10 p.m.

That evening, Director Wang came back with him, fetching water for him to wash his feet and cleaning the house, being quite attentive. Well, what could he do? He had lost at billiards.

Lin Mo finally managed to stay awake until midnight. The shopping page refreshed, and after glancing at it, he immediately perked up.

Type 88 Hanyang rifle; 30 rounds of ammunition; ¥1.58

[One Seven Wolves belt; specially designed to punish rebellious sons, quality guaranteed; ¥2.36]

[Children's bicycle; Crayon Shin-chan style, won't tip over; ¥4.21]

[Sketching: Draw an old man at three; draw 1314 Peppa Pigs; draw what a person looks like as a child or as an adult with just one glance: ¥12.5]

Upon seeing this, Lin Mo immediately sat up. Finally, a new skill had emerged. That 13-in-1 shampoo was utterly useless.

Moreover, this thing looks high-end. Not only are the prerequisites difficult, but it's also a skill that you can use in daily life. It's much better than an excavator.

I just don't know what will happen after I make the choice.

Sorry, I went out today and came back late. Apologies everyone.
