Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 877 These are all my lyrics!
In the Nancheng Food Street, at a well-regarded local restaurant specializing in braised beef tendon and pork, the group found a private room and started eating.

Although there is a competitive spirit, meals are still provided when visiting during the Lunar New Year, so there is no conflict in this regard.

Despite this, inside the private room, Miss Yuan, Lin Mo, and Director Wang were all unwilling to concede to each other.

Before the food even arrived, the three of them started fighting over the complimentary drinks offered by the restaurant.

They've already had three large glasses refilled by the waiter. If they weren't all dressed so smartly, the waiter would have thought they were just greedy, cheapskates.

Including the initial cup, they were refilled three more times. Excluding the drinks consumed by class monitor Liu Ruyan and He Xiaoyue, the three of them each had an average of one large cup, which is equivalent to three bottles of mineral water, quite a lot. As a result, the three of them were already a bit full before the food was even served.

"Hey, hey, I said that's enough. You three haven't even eaten a bite yet, and you've already filled your stomachs with water. Are you going to eat anything else later?"

"Also, even though the drinks are complimentary, we can't just drink them like this. People will think we're trying to take advantage of them," Liu Ruyan said helplessly.

There was nothing she could do; by the time the waiter came to refill her drink for the third time, she was already feeling a little embarrassed just watching from the sidelines.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo thought it made sense, and then slammed his hand on the table and said, "Do you dare to drink it carbonated!"

Director Wang: "I'm not afraid of you!"

Miss Yuan: "You want me to avoid your attacks? I want a Coke!"

Lin Mo then called over a waiter and ordered two cases, a total of 12 bottles of canned cola. The three of them then started sharing the side dishes that the restaurant had given them as a gift.

Liu Ruyan:
"Hey, don't worry about them. They're all grown up, they can't possibly stuff themselves to death, can they? Drink up, if they can't eat later and get hungry, that's their own problem," the squad leader said with a smile.

She wasn't surprised at all that her boyfriend and his group suddenly had an episode of illness. It was only because Chuanmei wasn't there that one more person had an episode.

Sure enough, when the dishes were served, even Miss Yuan, who has a huge appetite, didn't eat much. The reason was simple: she had drunk too much cola and her stomach was bloated!

In the end, the three of them couldn't determine a winner, so they naturally moved on from the topic.

"Ahem, well, how have you guys been lately? Chuanzi hasn't come back yet. You guys must be having a pretty easy time, right?" Lin Mo asked.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang nodded: "Indeed, Chuanzi has been doing his own live streams lately, occasionally sending over some materials, which the three of us can easily organize with a little effort."

However, it looks like this month's salary won't be much. There's nothing I can do; although Wangcai's account has been updated regularly, he's hardly been streaming, let alone doing any advertising.

"However, the popularity of the Sichuan girl is still quite good. He helped to forward the pig slaughter banquet two years ago, and now she is a big internet celebrity with more than two million followers. This has helped maintain the popularity of the Sichuan girl."

Secondly, the unboxing video of the Anmuxi poster was also released, and the effect was quite good. The twins also released it. Although some people questioned it, the poster is real, which is undeniable, so it's not a big deal." The class monitor said while eating.

When the topic of work came up, everyone became much more serious.

He Xiaoyue looked at her accounts on the iPhone she had just received yesterday, feeling a little sad. "Sure enough, this holiday means I'll miss out on making money. Wangcai probably won't have any income this month. Luckily, I helped Sister Yuan and Brother Yuan out a little, which allowed me to earn some money. Otherwise, I would be eating dirt next month!"

Indeed, today is the eleventh day of the first lunar month, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month will mark the start of next month. It's fair to say that we've only worked ten days this month.

It's not that they don't want to work, but Li Shiya is pretending to be dead at home. They work in social media, and without Li Shiya, they naturally have no work.

"Eat my ass! With Chuanzi's basic salary as a safety net and free accommodation, plus Wangcai easily earning close to ten thousand, how could you possibly be eating dirt? If our classmates heard this, they'd be cursing us!" Lin Mo laughed.

Now, half a year has passed, and almost all of their classmates have found jobs. Moreover, the Spring Festival is late this year, and it will be March soon. Counting on their fingers, there are only about four months left until their graduation. It will pass in the blink of an eye.

Even by graduation day, not many students in the class will earn 5000 yuan a month, let alone these few.

Of course, this can't be blamed on He Xiaoyue. After all, there are many talented people in their small group, and her income is already at the bottom.

Since other classmates weren't around, there was no basis for comparison, so naturally, no one knew the specific extent of the gap.

The class monitor is quite content now. She is more than once glad that she didn't just pick any job at the job fair, but came here to pursue love.

Unexpectedly, she found love and success in her career, making her a true winner in life.

The combined salaries of the two would be a very high income even in the capital city, and Director Wang was so naive that he simply put their salaries together.

If you've been out in the workforce for a year or two, who wouldn't be wary of others?
This is why couples who start from scratch tend to trust each other exceptionally much.

Hearing this, He Xiaoyue chuckled, clearly quite satisfied with her work.

Just then, the class monitor suddenly spoke up: "After the New Year, when school starts again, our tasks will be even heavier. It won't be as easy as last year."

Lin Mo: "You have other plans again?"

Squad leader: "Not 'we,' it's 'us'!"

Lin Mo: "Am I included?"

Class monitor: "What's wrong? Aren't you going to graduate? You need to decide on your thesis research direction, collect and organize materials, and if you fail a course or don't have enough credits, you'll need to retake the exam or earn more credits. You also need to write the thesis, including the main text and revisions. You can't expect to pass it in one go."

Fortunately, none of us plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam, otherwise it would be even more troublesome. Those who are unemployed or dissatisfied with their jobs can take advantage of this time to find new employers, as there are spring recruitment events this year.

After passing the thesis, you still have to prepare for the defense. These are all time-consuming and laborious tasks. Even if you are not planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam, have not failed any courses, have enough credits, and do not have to worry about finding a job, the thesis and defense alone are enough to make you suffer. Do you expect to have an easy time?

Things aren't like they used to be. Passing a thesis was relatively easy then, but now that damn plagiarism rate is going to give you a hard time. By the way, do you have Weibo? If not, download it. When you're struggling with writing your thesis, you'll know who to vent your frustrations on.

I've already downloaded it, so I'm just waiting to start cursing!

Hearing the class monitor's words, Lin Mo was stunned. Yes, he was about to graduate, but he hadn't graduated yet. Although the next few months in the second half of the year were not long, he was sure that his life would not be as easy as before.

As for the person the class monitor said he was going to scold, although he hadn't experienced it himself, he had heard about it a few years ago. He had just laughed it off then, never expecting that time would fly by and it would be his turn to scold someone. As the saying goes, every profession has its own patron saint: scholars worship Confucius, forensic doctors respect Song Ci, carpenters honor Lu Ban, thieves recognize Shi Qian, bodyguards worship Bodhidharma, talent show contestants believe in Brother Chun, and those who fail exams worship Conan. And now, those working in the thesis plagiarism checking industry all have a certain brother surnamed Zhai enshrined in their homes.

Of course, where there are worshippers, there are also those who criticize, since he provided jobs for some people, and naturally there are also victims.

Ironically, this victim isn't just one person, but rather one of those who are mass-produced in the hundreds of thousands every year. If he doesn't get criticized, who will?

Although everyone can only graduate once, there are always people graduating every year. It's foreseeable that this guy will be criticized for many more years to come.

Liu Ruyan chuckled as she listened. Luckily, she graduated early and didn't experience that crisis, otherwise she would have been cursing too.

"What are you afraid of? You only have a second-tier university degree, who can really check your background? You're not going to take the postgraduate entrance exam, so you can just write something casually, right? At worst, we can pay for it," Miss Yuan said from the side.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him. I know my education level is just average, but you don't have to be so blunt!

Fortunately, when he turned his head, he saw that He Xiaoyue and Director Wang were also wearing masks of pain, which made him feel a little better.

At least he wasn't the only one who was suffering; everyone was suffering together, which meant he wasn't suffering at all, so it was acceptable.

"Speaking of which, Lao Zhao will have to come back by the time of the defense, right? After all, the defense requires returning to the school!" Lin Mo asked.

He only knew that the thesis could be completed off-campus, but he didn't know anything else.

Upon hearing this, the class monitor shook his head: "Not necessarily. Sometimes you can apply online, but it seems that not many people in our school and our major apply online."

"But it's okay, I'll definitely come back with my diploma. Not many diplomas are mailed, and besides, it's not like Lao Zhao's wife is about to give birth; he can't possibly be so busy that he can't even come back to school. Our class hasn't even taken our graduation photos yet!"

The school's regulations for this year had already been posted in the group chat, outlining what the senior students should do. However, Lin Mo didn't check the group chat much, while the class monitor seemed to pay close attention to these things.

There's no other way; she's been relaying messages on behalf of the advisor for the past few years of university, so you can't go wrong asking her for any questions.

“That bastard Lao Zhao said he’ll be back this year, so don’t worry,” Director Wang said from the side.

Hearing this, Lin Mo felt relieved.

Although they are doing well now, they feel like something is missing without Lao Zhao.

"I wonder if he'll be surprised when he comes back and sees how we've changed, especially since you're with the class monitor now, haha," Lin Mo laughed.

Indeed, before Lao Zhao left, what kind of misfits were in their dorm? Three total losers who no one wanted, who had been talking about wanting to find a girlfriend since freshman year, but who didn't even dare to ask a pretty girl for her WeChat.

Their only hope was that Lao Zhao's girlfriend would introduce them, the three losers, to some pretty girls from the neighboring art academy.

Of course, it's not like they don't do things; they've introduced a lot of things to them over the years. The result is that when WeChat pushes something to them, all they can do is babble and become meal reminder machines.

Have you had breakfast? Have you had lunch? Have you had dinner? Remember to eat!
Given their looks and lack thereof, it would be strange if any pretty girl were interested in the three of them.

But you might say, if pretty girls aren't an option, then you can date average-looking girls, right? Sorry, those three were the kind of losers who thought, "Even though I'm average-looking, I still like pretty girls."

But now, he's dating Liu Ruyan, his appearance has changed drastically, and he's even opened a restaurant, so he can be considered financially independent.

Wang Chu successfully lost weight. Although he still looks strong, at least he's not just bloated anymore. He's with the class monitor now, and his fashion sense has improved dramatically. Chuan Mei's appearance hasn't changed, she still suffers from kidney deficiency, and she's not financially independent. But she's almost undergone gender reassignment surgery, and she's even opened a studio. It's fair to say that all three of them have undergone tremendous changes.

Even the class monitor and He Xiaoyue, who were standing nearby, were looking forward to the day when their dormitory would be reunited.

Soon, lunch was finished. Lin Mo paid the bill, and the group of six left with full bellies. During the meal, Lin Mo and two others went to the restroom more than once.

In the afternoon, the group went to a billiards hall, where the six of them set up a table to relax.

The class monitor and He Xiaoyue didn't play, so they just watched from the sidelines. Since the class monitor didn't play, Director Wang naturally didn't play either. After finishing their Chinese medicine, the two of them couldn't wait to return on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

Naturally, I tried the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by the old doctor to see if it worked. And let me tell you, it was really effective.

Wang Chu used to smoke two-yuan cigarettes, but now he can afford to smoke Baitashan cigarettes. If he works hard, smoking Renmin University cigarettes might not be out of the question.

It can be said that he brought his condition back to normal, or even above normal. It has to be said that Professor Li is truly a miracle doctor of our time.

That scoundrel Wang has become so confident that he's gone too far. He's been thinking about renting a place outside for the past couple of days.

After all, Miss Yuan said that she would provide them with a place to stay whenever they wanted to. Staying in hotels all the time is not a good idea. It costs more than a hundred yuan each time, and even the class monitor feels the pinch.

I just don't know how to bring it up with He Xiaoyue.

He Xiaoyue was looking at her phone. The class monitor and Director Wang were sitting together, all lovey-dovey. Miss Yuan couldn't stand the two of them showing off their affection, so she naturally came over to play billiards. Three-person billiards was a good game.

But Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan at the table are also a couple. Liu Ruyan is skilled, and Lin Mo has a cheat code, so only Miss Yuan keeps losing.

"Hey, you two aren't setting me up, are you? I'm not having it. Perfect timing, we have a billiards assistant coach here, and she's a pretty girl. Shall we call her over?" Miss Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance. Then, he picked up his cue, bent down, aimed at the black eight, folded it into the middle pocket, and took a shot. Lin Mo immediately realized that he had lost his strength and quickly leaned on the table to blow on it.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan quickly bent down and lowered her head to blow the ball against Lin Mo's force. Miss Yuan hurriedly got up to see if the ball had gone in. Just as she was anxiously squeezing her head between the two of them, Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan looked up together and kissed each other.

'Pop~'

The next second, Miss Yuan froze on the spot. After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, she picked up her golf club and yelled at Liu Ruyan, "I'll fucking shove it in your mouth!"

Liu Ruyan:
Lin Mo: ? ? ?
