Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 154 You don't want your cousin to know about your fortune, do you?

As soon as the three of them returned and opened the living room door, they saw Director Wang sitting on the sofa eating his rice noodle roll takeout, accompanied by a wine glass of Chinese medicine, looking quite content.

"Wang Gang? Weren't you kept behind by the class monitor? She didn't invite you to dinner today?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.

The girl from Sichuan seized the opportunity to speak up: "Exactly! You've become a 'three-way companion'—accompanying others to chat, play games, and even attend classes—and you still have to come back to eat by yourself? That's going too far! I'll ask the class monitor what she means by that!"

Director Wang: "You're the one offering escort services, I didn't ask for any money!"

Lin Mo:
Sichuan girl:.
I didn't expect it to be a free door-to-door service, but I don't know if it can fly nationwide.

Miss Yuan: "Class monitor? What's going on? Tell me quickly, I can sense something funny is about to happen."

The simple conversation between the three of them immediately piqued Miss Yuan's interest, making her determined to find out who this class monitor really was.

Five minutes later, Lin Mo and Chuan Mei also came out carrying wine glasses; after all, they couldn't stop taking their medicine.

As Miss Yuan listened to Director Wang's story, her initial curiosity gradually turned into a look of utter disdain, as if she were looking at someone with intellectual disabilities. She then asked the two of them:
"Has he always been like this? Didn't you remind him?"

Sichuan girl: "How do you think we should remind them?"

Lin Mo: "With this level of intelligence, reminding them is useless, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan nodded: "That's right, you two did the right thing." Then she looked at Director Wang, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "Little Wang, you'd better be more careful!"

Wang Chu was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Shouldn't it be the seagull?"

Miss Yuan:
At this moment, she finally understood why Lin Mo and Wang Chuming, who had been roommates for several years in college, chose not to remind him. With that kind of IQ, if he could find a divorced woman in the future, he would be lucky.

Soon, Miss Yuan's takeout arrived, and the four of them sat down together to have lunch. Director Wang also said goodbye to his rice noodle rolls.

"Sister Yuan, let's drive to the city after lunch and transfer the money to you then!" Lin Mo said, picking up a piece of stir-fried shrimp.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan nodded; the two of them had agreed on this matter yesterday.

Hearing this, the Sichuan girl next to him asked curiously, "Old Mo, did you borrow money from Sister Yuan? If you're short on cash, I'll tell my family, it's okay!"

He overheard Miss Yuan talking about this in the study room. You see, he still owed Lin Mo money, so he couldn't just ignore her when she was short of cash.

"No need, I don't need your pittance. By the way, how's your account doing lately? Are the earnings good?" Lin Mo asked.

He hasn't been paying much attention to what's going on with Chuanmei lately, and he doesn't know how she's doing.

The girl nodded: "It's alright, the video views are pretty good. This afternoon, I'm going to edit the footage I just shot outside. I have to work hard, otherwise those brainless MC companies will target me."

"No, they're still contacting you? Didn't you reject them all?" Lin Mo asked, somewhat shocked.

After all, in his opinion, since the Sichuan girl had started swearing, the other party shouldn't bother him anymore, right?

Hearing this, Chuanmei sneered: "How could that be? There's more than one MC company. Just now, another MC company messaged me in the background, saying that they are an all-female company and all of them know how to do makeup, which would be very helpful to my creative work."

Why would I need their help? I asked a few questions, and their company doesn't even have anyone who can drive or edit. What would I need them for?

They even told me they were a professional influencer incubation center. I don't know if if I go there, they'll be the ones incubating me, or I'll be the one supporting them.

Hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head. Although he didn't work in social media, he knew that the industry was rife with scams. There were plenty of people who used the guise of online celebrities to commit fraud. The more sophisticated ones would prepare a better contract, which would then be considered a legitimate scam.

Moreover, Chuanmei is about to become a blogger with millions of followers. In other words, he no longer needs to incubate the eggs; he is already a rooster that lays golden eggs. Why would he need someone else to incubate these golden eggs? He can just pick them up directly, right?
Most companies that claim to be incubating internet celebrities actually need golden eggs like Chuanmei who don't need incubation. If they encounter someone who does need incubation, they probably don't really need them.

Soon, the four of them finished their meal and rested at Chuanmei's place. Miss Yuan even ran into Chuanmei's bedroom to see how he was editing the video. Director Wang also went to help, while Lin Mo sent a message to Liu Ruyan, asking if she was at the company and that he would come over later.

Liu Ruyan's reply was also very simple, just sending a beckoning finger emoji.

At 2:30 PM, Miss Yuan and her companion arrived at the company by car. "Here you are, bro!"

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Mo was forcibly restrained for two seconds.

"You look much better these past two days. Are you feeling better?" Lin Mo asked as he sat down in the chair.

As for Miss Yuan, she was already lying on the sofa in a very unladylike manner, and had even kicked off her shoes.

"It's fine as long as it doesn't hurt anymore. As for being completely healed, you know my situation. How about you make a sacrifice and act as a catalyst for my medicine?" Liu Ruyan rubbed her throbbing temples and laughed.

Although she looked much better today and spoke in the same tone, she still seemed tired and preoccupied.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo waved his hands repeatedly: "No thanks, I don't want to become a waste of medicine. My teacher recently asked me to strengthen my foundation."

"Oh, right, you didn't know, did you? Mo Zai actually has a traditional Chinese medicine teacher. He even came to treat my grandpa's health yesterday. Mo Zai did the massage. I heard from his teacher that Mo Zai's massage skills are professional level. He massaged you for so many days before, you should at least pay him for his services, right?" Miss Yuan said excitedly.

After all, such a novel event naturally needed to be shared with mutual acquaintances, especially Liu Ruyan. She and Mozi had known each other for a long time, and recently the two had become increasingly close. She needed to assert her dominant position.

"Of course I know he's a professional. Dr. Li Chengyang from Jiangning is his teacher. Otherwise, why would I let him massage me, right, Xiao Mo?" Liu Ruyan winked at him.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Meng looked at Lin Mo with a scrutinizing gaze: "So, I was the last to find out?"

"You didn't ask, did you? Cough cough, well, the main reason I came here today is to pay back the money. Let's have dinner together tonight as my way of thanking you both for your generosity," Lin Mo quickly changed the subject and explained the purpose of his visit.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan was taken aback: "What kind of business is this? It's over in just a few days? I'm not in a rush. If you can make money, just keep using it!"

For her, the money wasn't urgent. It wasn't like the company needed the money anymore. Even if the company needed cash flow, 200 million wouldn't make much difference. What she was more curious about was what kind of business Lin Mo was doing.

"Short-term small businesses can't compare to your big company, Sister Ruyan. When I need it again, I'll just ask you, Sister Ruyan. If I borrow and pay back, it won't be difficult to borrow again, right?" Lin Mo said with a wry smile.

He certainly wanted to earn more, such a great opportunity, but there was no way around it. There were only three days left. If he continued to invest, he might not only fail to make money, but he might even lose money.

Seeing his insistence, Liu Ruyan didn't try to dissuade him further. She just felt it was a bit of a pity; if Lin Mo had lost money, she might have been able to gain more benefits.

"So, little brother, you really made a profit this time. Tell me, how much did you make? Let your older sister be envious," Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yuan Meng curled her lip: "He made a little money, and he's keeping it a secret. He won't tell me even when I ask. Do you think your sister Yuan cares about your pittance?"

Lin Mo:
He had just said this to Chuanmei, but he didn't expect the boomerang to come back so quickly.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan became even more curious. She rested her chin on her hand and said in a seductive voice, "Little brother, tell me, how much did you earn?"

Lin Mo: "Not much!"

Liu Ruyan: "How much is 'not much'?"

Lin Mo: "Just a little!"

Seeing his evasive behavior, Liu Ruyan became even more curious: "A little? You don't seem like it at all. I feel like you've struck it rich, little brother."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked to Lin Mo's side, continuing, "Don't worry, I'm just asking. I definitely won't tell your cousin. You don't want your cousin to know about your fortune, do you?"

Lin Mo:
"Less than 200"

Liu Ruyan: "Ten thousand?"

Lin Mo nodded, the next second.

"Damn it, you're treating!!"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
