Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 957 The Haggard Su He

I told you, sometimes what stabs you isn't a knife. Learning to use a blade in hand-to-hand combat is completely useless for girls!

Of course, if it were in a boys' dormitory, Lin Mo would rather be stabbed with a knife than something else, but sorry, this isn't a school dormitory, and Liu Ruyan isn't a man.

The next day, Lin Mo didn't make breakfast or get up early for morning exercise. He sent a message to the class monitor in the morning, and the two met downstairs and went straight to the restaurant. It was time for the restaurant to open once a week again.

Today is the first day of the second month of the lunar calendar, March 18 in the Gregorian calendar. It can be said that they have been back at school for more than half a month. Until today, the first month of the lunar calendar has just passed, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year has completely dissipated.

The temperature is getting warmer day by day. Lin Mo has already taken off his close-fitting cotton pants. How to put it, it's a little cool, but not cold. As long as he doesn't go out shopping at night, the temperature is perfectly acceptable.

Of course, once the cotton-padded trousers are off, the thermal underwear naturally comes into play; it's not time to wear just trousers yet.

With her cousin Su He handling the restaurant's logistics, Lin Mo was spared a lot of worry; all she had to do after arriving was receive the ingredients.

After several months of adjustment, their small restaurant has long been on the right track, with well-established suppliers and personnel support in all aspects.

Even the number of waitresses has been maintained at six. Even if someone is temporarily absent, someone can immediately fill in. Moreover, they are all good-looking and are female college students working part-time near the university town.

Of course, as Li Shiya became more and more popular, Lin Mo's identity could no longer be hidden. Even the waiters knew that the restaurant owner was the character (Brother Shou) from Li Shiya's works.

However, he only appears in photos occasionally and isn't really an internet celebrity. Plus, he comes to the restaurant during working hours, so no one asks him for photos, but there are still some whispers about it.

It's not that no one has gone back and said that Lin Mo's restaurant is an exorbitantly priced one, the kind where a meal costs hundreds of thousands, but it's mostly just a small-scale exclamation, and almost no news about it has surfaced online.

After all, no one would believe me if I told them. For those who want to check out the restaurant, the price is one thing, but the second thing is that the restaurant is usually not open. Even if it is open on Wednesdays, it will not accept people who have not made a reservation. So naturally there is no news about it online.

Outside the kitchen, six waiters were cleaning the restaurant, especially the three private rooms. Inside the kitchen, the team leader and the kitchen helper were skillfully handling the ingredients under Lin Mo's guidance.

Before noon, all the ingredients had been processed, and then it was time to make the broth. During this time, Lin Mo also explained the cooking steps to the two of them, and even explained the steps step by step while cooking lunch.

From the selection of ingredients to knife skills, the control of heat, and the addition of seasonings, nothing is overlooked.

If the two of them can master it, although they won't reach the level of his Wednesday Food God, or even the level of a state banquet chef, the taste of their dishes will definitely be better than that of most restaurant chefs.

Meanwhile, Chuanmei and her team were still busy, shooting footage, posting content, and making advertisements. After all, Chuanmei needed to earn more money this month to feel at ease.

He Xiaoyue has restarted her matchmaking efforts. This time, she doesn't blindly demand that the two meet. Instead, she first gathers information about the other person's criteria for choosing a partner to see if their values ​​are normal. Scumbags and bad girls are ruled out first.

Secondly, you can directly open a video call to confirm the other person's avatar, since many people have a rather absurd perception of their own appearance and physical attributes.

For example, there's a chubby little doctor named Huba with a middle parting who insists he's a 7 out of 10 handsome guy. But when He Xiaoyue opened the video, she almost threw up.

The other person looked incredibly round and greasy, so I politely declined their blind date invitation.

As a result, the other party broke down, saying that Li Shiya's employees discriminated against his appearance and that he would sue them. He also said that he had already sued a dating blogger.

Upon hearing this, He Xiaoyue immediately sneered. "I didn't take any money, and I didn't post it online. What are you suing me for?" she thought, and proceeded to give the other party a good scolding.

Of course, besides ordinary men, there are also quite a few ordinary women. For example, a woman is taking the civil service exam, which is equivalent to a man's position at the provincial level, making everyone laugh.

Fortunately, while such oddballs exist, most people are quite normal. Even if their demands exceed the budget, they are still within a reasonable range.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted. No wonder it's so hard for young people to find partners these days. There are so many weirdos out there. It's a shame, though. If I could get them all together, meet up, chat, and shoot some footage, it would definitely be a hit."

After finishing her morning's work, He Xiaoyue rubbed her temples and leaned back in her chair, sighing.

Upon hearing this, the Sichuan girl rolled her eyes at her and said, "Forget it, if we invite these abnormal people out, we might end up fighting with them."

"It's just the three of us here today, I'm afraid we'll all get beaten up!"

"That's true, but it's a real pity that Sister Yuan isn't here today. Otherwise, she would definitely be excited and argue with them. It's so nice to have a class monitor like me. I can eat and drink at Lao Mo Restaurant and it's peaceful." He Xiaoyue said enviously.

That's right, not only Lin Mo and the class monitor had things to do today, but Miss Yuan also didn't come here; she chose to go home instead.

There was no other way; her older brother was getting married in ten days, and she, as his younger sister, had to go back and see him.

Of course, it wasn't her own choice to go back; her mother called her back, saying that the clothes she had ordered had arrived and she needed to try them on. As an important member of the family, Miss Yuan needed to dress formally that day, at least not to embarrass herself, right?
"Alright, it's just the three of us today, let's make do. Let's think about what to eat later. And Director Wang, you're not allowed to write in the document that I learned swordsmanship from my master's wife, you hear me?" Chuanmei shouted.

Wang Chu waved his hand dismissively, saying that Li Shiya knew nothing about self-media and that he was just a cross-dresser.

He figured out every aspect of real account management, from filming to editing footage, bit by bit. How could he not know what his fans like to watch?
To keep his job, he couldn't listen to the Sichuan girl.

As for Wangcai's account, He Xiaoyue is already quite skilled at it. She doesn't need to film anything elaborate; she just needs to post videos of Wangcai interacting with Li Shiya from time to time to maintain its popularity.

Wangcai now has nearly 700,000 followers. Unlike other pet bloggers whose pets are known for their antics, Wangcai's popularity is entirely dependent on the diversion of Li Shiya's popularity.

In short, after returning from the New Year holiday, the number of updates has increased again this month. In addition, Wangcai has also taken on some advertisements, shop window sales, and live streaming rewards. The income of the group this month should be quite considerable.

Meanwhile, as the online buzz grew, Zhang Wei became a household name in the company, successfully joining the ranks of Sigma's true men, and already had over 160,000 fans.

While this increase wasn't exaggerated, it wasn't slow either. After all, he was just an ordinary person, and gaining a million followers overnight was something only a very small number of lucky people could do.

Moreover, after yesterday's Wang Xiaoshan incident, people in the office have a better impression of him.

"Brother Wei, I've ordered you a cold drink!"

"Team leader, I brought some fruit, feel free to have some!"

"Ah Wei, want to go to the restroom for a smoke?"

It wasn't just because Zhang Wei recovered their losses, but also because he stood up for them and said what they had always been too embarrassed to say.

In contrast, Wang Xiaoshan's face was extremely gloomy all day, and he no longer had his usual cheerful and carefree attitude, nor did he shamelessly try to get close to others.

Even the people in the entire office looked at him with disgust.

In contrast to Wang Xiaoshan, Zhang Wei received goodwill from all the office staff. They gave him a cup of milk tea, two pieces of fruit, and even shared some of their own snacks. Soon, Zhang Wei's seat was piled high with food and drinks.

Zhang Wei grinned from ear to ear all day. That night, he called his family and told them that he had made 100,000 yuan for nothing, which made his mother extremely happy.

"Mr. Liu, this is Ms. Yuan's sales contract for this month; it has arrived."

In Liu Ruyan's office, her secretary, Xiaotian, handed her three contracts and said...

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan glanced at the document and then signed it: "By the way, she hasn't come to the company again this month?"

"No, the contracts were all delivered by the other party's staff," Xiao Tian nodded, her tone full of admiration. To be a salesperson to this extent is truly impressive.

"That's fine, as long as there are results, the company still needs these big orders to keep going."

"But that's only because of her. Anyone else wouldn't be able to handle it!" Liu Ruyan laughed.

Although these sales contracts from Miss Yuan were all from previous clients, those clients only recognized Miss Yuan, not the company.

Or rather, these orders were given to them because of Miss Yuan's influence. Not only were the prices negotiable, but the signing of contracts was also quick and easy. Over time, they had become very familiar with the process.

Liu Ruyan's company still has new projects after the New Year, so the tasks for this year are still very heavy. After all, if it were just about maintaining the company's operation and keeping business running, she wouldn't need to do it.

So, this company was given to her to practice on. Old Liu thought she was capable enough, so he gave her a company to do whatever she wanted. If she did well, the family business would gradually be transferred to her.

Although Comrade Lao Liu is not very old and can work hard for another ten years or so, he should start raising the next generation in his family as soon as possible.
At 6 p.m., all the dishes were served, and the kitchen helper went home.

"Mmm~~ It has to be your cooking, little brother. It's absolutely amazing! You've exhausted me!"

In the kitchen, my cousin Su He wolfed down her food while speaking.

In response, the class monitor, holding his rice bowl, said somewhat uncertainly to Lin Mo beside him, "By the way, is your cousin being abused? Does the company not even let people eat anymore?"

"If it were before, I would have confidently told you it was impossible, but now," Lin Mo looked at his cousin's face, which was already thin but had become even thinner, and said uncertainly, "Maybe the company is going to go bankrupt!"
