Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 285 Students? Even beasts wouldn't do that!
Miss Yuan taught him that there's no distinction between rich and poor when it comes to causing trouble for your parents. The only difference is that the rich cause more trouble, the poor cause less, and those who aren't smart enough are the biggest troublemakers.

It's just that Lin Mo didn't know about Liu Ruyan's actions, otherwise he would have been dumbfounded. After all, Miss Yuan only wanted to swindle some pocket money, while Liu Ruyan, using the family's shop land and family connections, took care of everything on Lin Mo's side. Not only did she not spend a penny, but she also made a pure profit of half of the renovation fee from Old Yuan. That's what you call professional.

It's true what they say, making money is as easy as breathing for smart people. Even when it comes to ripping off someone's father, Liu Ruyan manages to do it so cleverly, killing three birds with one stone and making three dishes from one fish.

Lin Mo was extremely grateful, and Old Yuan was also very satisfied with having his own exclusive position reserved for him. Liu Ruyan not only got what she wanted but also made a profit. It can be said that everyone has a bright future.

As for Comrade Lao Liu, he deserves it. What he is experiencing now is the result of the sins he committed when he was young. What goes around comes around, and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven. What goes around comes around.

Of course, even if he was indignant, no one cared. Liu Ruyan, as his daughter, didn't care. Was it normal for her to cause trouble for her father? She was the only child in the family, and all the family property would be hers when she got old. In other words, it was the same as the money she spent herself.

As for Ms. Cheng, she didn't care at all, and even expected it. Not only that, she also felt that her daughter was too shy and hadn't learned even a third of her essence.

"Our restaurant was set up too hastily, and many facilities are not yet available. So, I've looked at the drinks, and we're not going to consider red wine. People who come to eat here don't care for ordinary red wine. High-end red wine has specific requirements for storage environment and temperature."

"So we only sell baijiu and beer. And for baijiu, we don't sell the really high-end, very aged ones; just the regular Moutai or Wuliangye level is fine. For beer, I've selected a few for you to look at. Simply put, we allow customers to bring their own drinks." Seeing Lin Mo casually sign the document, Liu Ruyan gestured to another drinks menu on the table and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo, at Liu Ruyan's prompting, picked up the drinks menu and glanced at it. He then nodded. It wasn't too outrageous. For example, Moutai, which usually costs a little over two thousand yuan, was only a little over a thousand yuan more expensive. Wuliangye and other wines of similar quality were the same, almost all with an additional charge of a little over a thousand yuan. They probably didn't intend to make money from this stuff; it was just a reserve for the restaurant.

He was surprised by the beer prices, though. He didn't recognize any of the brands listed; they were all in English.

Each bottle costs anywhere from four or five hundred to one or two thousand.

"Is this beer? Is the bottle made of gold, or is the cap made of silver? It's so expensive!" Lin Mo asked in astonishment.

It's understandable that his dishes are a bit pricey, given their amazing taste, the fact that only he can make them, and the fact that he only operates one day a week—scarcity drives up the price.

But it's a bit much to pay this price for a bottle of beer. Shouldn't it cost around seven or eight yuan a bottle, even in a restaurant, and over twenty yuan a bottle in a KTV?
If it were in a supermarket, the average price would be only two or three yuan, so why is it still being sold for four or five hundred, or even one or two thousand yuan?
Why are they so expensive just because they have two English letters in their name? What's wrong with Songlin, Qingdao, and Yongchuangtianya? Is it because foreign monks chant better sutras?

Faced with his astonishment, Liu Ruyan and the other woman remained calm. In particular, Miss Yuan took the wine list, glanced at it casually, and said calmly, "Ah, this is normal. It's about the same price. Why are you making such a fuss?"

"That's right. Look at the prices of your dishes. If the drinks are too meager, wouldn't that be a mismatch? Don't worry, the drinks are just an extra. People who come to eat here won't be short of money for a few bottles of wine."

If all goes well, someone will deliver it to your store today. You can go there to pay the bill then. Once these preparations are complete, you can open for business normally at least tomorrow.

I'll bring the staff over to you tomorrow—one front desk staff and four waiters to serve the food. But I'll borrow these from somewhere else temporarily. You can hire them yourself, or I can help you. As for the front desk, I'll have Xiaotian fill in for you tomorrow.

"From now on, you either have to do this kind of work yourself, or find someone you can trust. Once your restaurant is on track, your cousin Su Su would be a good choice. You can decide for yourself," Liu Ruyan instructed in great detail.

It can be said that she has considered everything quite thoroughly, but some specific small matters in the restaurant need to be handled by Lin Mo himself. He can't let her handle everything; he's not a mother.

Once the initial preparations are complete, she will no longer interfere with the restaurant's operation. If the restaurant still fails after that, it means it's a hopeless case and there's no need to bother with it anymore.

Although Lin Mo didn't understand how a restaurant operated, let alone how to do business, he listened to advice and did whatever Liu Ruyan told him to do.

The reason he trusted Liu Ruyan so completely was twofold: firstly, the two were indeed acquaintances and had a decent relationship; secondly, there was also his cousin Su He involved.

But the most important point is that all the expenses were paid by Liu Ruyan. It can be said that he was the one who provided the money. Whoever paid was the boss. He benefited and was happy with himself.

After everything was finalized, Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan both breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Mo then washed his hands and began today's massage.

This woman is really dedicated to her career, but her health isn't quite up to par, which made Miss Yuan click her tongue in disapproval.

As the saying goes, every gain has its loss. Although Miss Yuan's talent for business is only so-so, she's not worried at all. She's carefree every day and in great health.

While fate may have closed the door on her figure, it has opened the window for her menstrual cycle. In any case, Lin Mo has never seen Miss Yuan suffer from menstrual cramps.

At most, she was a little irritable for a couple of days. Of course, it was only after meeting Miss Yuan that Lin Mo learned that a woman's menstrual cycle is not the standard seven days; for Miss Yuan, it's only about three days.

And even during her period, it doesn't stop her from eating cold food. You could say that Teemo with plate armor looks small, but he's very tough!
It was soon noon, and Lin Mo declined Liu Ruyan's offer to stay for lunch in the office, choosing instead to go with Miss Yuan to find Viagra.

It's been so long, I miss him terribly. I haven't seen him since the blind date and the excavator rescue incident.

At noon, downstairs at the chicken hotpot restaurant, the three of them ate lunch as if they were still at work, without any awkwardness whatsoever.

"Brother Wei, how was your October 1st holiday? Did you go out and have fun?" Lin Mo asked while eating.

Zhang Wei shook his head: "Where would I get the money? Going home is good enough. Besides, what's the point of traveling alone?"
I'm not like Sister Yuan, who's rich and doesn't lack money, nor am I as free as you, without any financial pressure.

When I went back to my hometown, I first thanked the elder who introduced me to potential partners. Then, I was introduced to a girl from my hometown. After meeting some friends and sightseeing, the holiday was over.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan and Lin Mo both raised their heads.

Lin Mo: "Introduced another one? How did the conversation go this time? How old is the woman? Is she normal?"

In today's society, it's already quite rare for men and women to meet a normal person through blind dates.

After his internship, he realized that in this society, the cost of staying away from idiots is very high. The relationships that God didn't let you have or the things that God didn't let you accomplish might all be protecting you. Bad relationships don't lead to anything, so that the right relationship will come. You might think you missed an opportunity or a true love, but maybe you just dodged a bullet.

So nowadays, whether it's blind dating or making friends, meeting a normal person is already a good result. As for becoming lovers or like-minded friends, that's something you can only hope to encounter by chance.

It is precisely for this reason that even though there are people who sabotage the game every day, the Trident of Eternal Calamity has not disbanded. What maintains their friendship is that it is difficult to find gaming partners and the probability of encountering normal people is not high. There is no other way.

“He’s three years older than me and works as a primary school teacher in our hometown. He’s alright, I guess! We chat occasionally now, but I don’t think there’s much of a chance. We’re never together,” Zhang Wei shook his head, indicating that he wasn’t optimistic.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan said, "Relax, he's only three years older than you. As long as he's not some old Indian sparrow, it's fine."

If you're not confident, give me your WeChat ID, and Sister Yuan will help you chat. But if you succeed, you'll probably have to go back to your hometown to develop your career, right?

"There's no need for that, Sister Yuan. Even if the blind date doesn't work out, we can still be polite. I don't want to go home and offend my relatives," Zhang Wei said, waving his hands repeatedly. The main problem was that Miss Yuan was really demanding. Who wasn't a little princess? If you're unhappy, I'm unhappy too! You have to coax me!
"Hey Mo, I heard from Sister Yuan that you're opening a restaurant?" Zhang Wei suddenly asked.

Lin Mo nodded: "Yes, it's opening tomorrow, but it shouldn't start operating until after 5 pm. How about it? Want to come and join the fun? Sister Yuan is coming too, you can come along."

"I can't make it, I have to work overtime. Thanks to you and Sister Yuan, our department manager has been thinking a lot about me lately and wants to promote me to team leader. I need to finish my work quickly. Sister Yuan, please order a flower basket for me later, and I'll transfer the money to you then. Lao Mo, I've sent you the red envelope, please accept it. I wish you a grand opening and lots of wealth!" As he spoke, Zhang Wei raised his drink cup, and at the same time, Lin Mo's phone chimed.

"Brother Wei, don't be so formal! Why transfer money?" Lin Mo said, trying to return the money to him.

666 yuan, although it may not seem like much to him now, is still a considerable sum for Zhang Wei.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't return a red envelope, it's bad luck. Besides, we can just treat each other to a meal sometime, right?" Zhang Wei quickly stopped him.

In the end, Lin Mo couldn't persuade Wei Ge otherwise and could only accept it with tears in his eyes. To be honest, he had never really thought about such a thing. But since Zhang Wei had this intention, he could just find an opportunity to return the favor later.

After lunch, Miss Yuan and Zhang Wei returned to the company to continue working, while Lin Mo received a call from the staff member responsible for delivering the drinks, asking him to come over to check and settle the payment.

Upon receiving the call, Lin Mo rushed back without stopping.

Construction workers were still coming and going at the restaurant entrance, indicating that construction was not yet finished and would not be fully completed until at least tomorrow morning.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lin Mo?" Just then, a short-haired young woman wearing a pencil skirt and business attire stepped out of the car next to the van at the store entrance and extended her hand.

The woman looked to be over twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a pretty face and a good figure. Although she wasn't a stunning beauty like Liu Ruyan, she was still considered pretty in a crowd.

Hello, I'm Lin Mo.

The woman looked at Lin Mo with some surprise at his youth, but his excellent professional qualities did not make her think less of him.

"Hello Mr. Lin, we were assigned by General Manager Liu to deliver your drinks. I am the business manager in charge of your store, my name is Wang Yue. Here is the list, please take a look. If it is correct, I will arrange for someone to unload the goods right away, and you can inspect it on the spot." Wang Yue said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo took the list, glanced at it, and found it to be basically the same as the one Liu Ruyan had sent him. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's unload. Thank you!"

"Of course, please wait a moment."

After saying that, the woman told the two workers on the cargo truck to get off and start preparing for loading and unloading.

Just then, Chuanmei Wang and the two girls, including the class monitor, also came out.

"Old Mo, what's going on? This woman came here looking for you," Chuanmei asked as she stepped forward.

Lin Mo: "Yes, they're here to deliver drinks. Director Wang, could you tidy up the storeroom on the first floor and have them move the drinks in?"

"Understood, I'll go right away." Upon hearing this, Director Wang nodded and then turned and went back to the hotel.

"You two, squad leader, take this list and help check the quantities," Lin Mo said, handing over the list.

The class monitor took it, nodded, and gave him an OK sign.

"What about me, Lao Mo?" Chuanmei asked, seeing that everyone else had something to do.

Did you take the air freshener I gave you?

"I took it, it's in the trunk!"

"Take out a few bottles and spray them in all three private rooms. Save the rest for the main hall tomorrow!" Lin Mo said.

"Understood, I'll go right away!"

The renovation work on the second floor is now complete, and only some finishing touches are left on the first floor, which should be finished tomorrow.

As for the air freshener that Chuanmei picked up, it was one of the items he bought from a shopping website in the past two days.

[Mint-scented air freshener, 12 bottles per box; repels mosquitoes, eliminates odors, removes formaldehyde, freshens the air instantly; ¥0.24]

Although Liu Ruyan used good and healthy materials for this renovation, there was still some residual odor, and this stuff is just right.

Just as Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and was about to find a place to rest, Director Wang rushed over in a panic: "Old Mo, something bad has happened! We can't find the key to the warehouse on the first floor!"

"It's okay, look carefully, and if you really can't find it, ask the renovation workers," Lin Mo said.

Before he could finish speaking, the two girls, including the class monitor, ran over: "Oh no, Lin Mo! I accidentally knocked over my water glass and soaked the list you gave me. The writing on it is all illegible now. What should we do? Are you alright?!"

Lin Mo:
"It's okay, the person in charge there is still here. I'll go over and ask her if she has any backups."

"Old Mo~~~ Oh my god, something terrible has happened, I..."

Before Lin Mo could even catch his breath, Chuan Mei jumped out again.

Lin Mo's trigeminal nerve started throbbing wildly: "If you dare tell me you're having problems too, I'll break your third leg!"

Sichuan girl:.
"No, I'm still a student. It's normal for things to have flaws."

Lin Mo: "Student? You're a beast, you're not allowed!"
