Lin Mo rubbed his temples. "Your current fan base is almost at the level of a top-tier celebrity. The higher-ups definitely won't eliminate you. Even if you do nothing during the Phoenix Ranking assessment, you'll probably still get a spot similar to a direct pass."

Upon hearing this, An Youyu panicked, "What should we do?"

"what to do……"

Lin Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Given the current situation, we can't think of a way to break the deadlock. In this situation, we can only call for reinforcements."

"reinforcement?"

An Youyu looked puzzled. "Who's the helper?"

"Who else could it be but our mom, of course."

"Our mom..."

An Youyu suddenly understood something, and her fair face flushed red. "Don't talk nonsense. We're just in a relationship. I can only call you Auntie. Besides, do you think Auntie could do anything about this?"

"rest assured."

Lin Mo helped An Youyu sit up, tidying her hair as he comforted her, "Our mother's influence is far greater than you think."

"Oh dear, I already told you she's an auntie."

An Youyu clenched her fist. "If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll hit you."

Lin Mo smiled calmly, "Look at what you're saying, as if I don't usually let you hit me. Come on, hit me however you want. After all, as the saying goes, 'Spare the rod and spoil the child,' and 'No beating, no affection'..."

Before he could finish speaking, An Youyu covered his mouth, her almond-shaped eyes filled with shame and indignation. "Don't say another word!"

Lin Mo noticed the girl's rosy cheeks and stopped teasing her.

Saying things like that occasionally can give the girl a heads-up.

If you say it too often, it might have the opposite effect.

Everything requires tactics.

The two stayed in the library until nine o'clock in the morning when suddenly Lin Mo's phone rang. It was Ke Renyi calling.

"Hey, Principal, Little Fish and I are just about to come find you."

Ke Renyi's voice rang out, "Lin Mo, I heard from Instructor Wang that you and An Youyu have asked for leave again? I'm not trying to criticize you, but instead of going through all this trouble, it would be better to just cancel your military training assignments. That way it would be more convenient for you, and it would be easier to explain to the instructors."

"Principal, the military training will be over in three days, there's no point in talking about this now."

"Alright, you and An Yaya wanted to see me about something?"

"Well, there's something important I need to discuss with you."

"I'm in my office, you can come here."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Lin Mo hung up the phone and gave An Youyu, who was reading a book, a look. "Let's go to the principal's."

An Youyu closed the ancient book in her hands and timidly asked, "When we get to the principal, you can tell me without me saying a word."

"Go, go, go."

Lin Mo chuckled, walked up to her, and tapped her forehead. "You want money but don't want to offend anyone? You've got a pretty clever little scheme up your sleeve, haven't you?"

An Youyu smiled shyly, quickly stood up, tiptoed, and gave Lin Mo a quick kiss on the cheek, while shaking his left arm. "Brother, you're the best."

Lore!

This move was the ultimate kill for Lin Mo!

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

More than ten minutes later, the two appeared outside the principal's office.

Lin Mo originally intended to push the door open and enter, but thinking of what they were going to discuss later, he withdrew his right hand, which was about to touch the door lock, and instead raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Come in."

Upon hearing Ke Renyi's voice, Lin Mo pulled An Youyu and pushed open the door to go inside.

"coming?"

Ke Renyi got up to boil water for tea.

At Lin Mo's signal, An Youyu quickly stepped forward and took over the task, saying, "Principal, you can sit down. Let me do this."

Ke Renyi glanced at An Youyu, then at Lin Mo, who was sitting calmly on the sofa, and a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

Faced with An Youyu's enthusiasm, he couldn't refuse. He sat down opposite Lin Mo with some doubt and surprise. He glanced at An Youyu, who was guarding the tea bar machine, and tapped on the coffee table.

"Lin Mo, don't you feel that An Yatou is acting a little strange today?"

"Have it?"

Lin Mo pretended not to understand, "I think she's perfectly normal, Principal. Did you not get enough rest last night?"

Seeing Lin Mo say that, Ke Renyi didn't think too much about it. "What do you and An Yatou want from me? Tell me."

There are two things in total.

Lin Mo rubbed his hands together. "The first thing is about Nanfeng's provocation towards me on Jiaoke. I wonder if the principal has taken note of this?"

"I've been paying attention to some of it."

Ke Renyi frowned slightly. "Last night before going to bed, I glanced at the messages on the dating site. Lin Mo, what exactly are you thinking?"

"What do you think?"

"If you ask me, the best way to handle this is not to respond. The heat will naturally subside in a few days. But with the seven-day deadline approaching, why did you grant the rights to the song 'Youth' to Yueji Music at this critical juncture?"

Ke Renyi looked puzzled. "Quanmin Music is the largest music platform in China. Even if you want to compare the number of song plays with Nanfeng, you should choose Quanmin Music. Besides, five and a half days have passed, and there's only a little over a day left. Your choice... isn't very rational!"

"Principal, there's no need to worry."

Lin Mo smiled confidently, "Since the students have made this choice, it means they are confident of victory."

"Definite victory?"

Ke Renyi pulled out his phone with a questioning look, tapped the screen a few times quickly, and rolled his eyes at Lin Mo in annoyance. "As of now, Nanfeng's song 'Burn, My Youth' has nearly 50 million views, while your 'Youth' hasn't even been released on Yueji yet. How do you expect to win?"

"It does not matter."

"..."

Ke Renyi was so angry at Lin Mo's nonchalant attitude that he didn't say a word for a long time.

Finally, he managed to utter a sentence: "It's true what they say, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. Anyway, you're the one who'll lose face, so why should I care!"

"Principal, we've gone off-topic."

"Did the conversation go off-topic?"

Ke Renyi looked puzzled. "What, did we go off-topic?"

Lin Mo took out his phone and opened his social media account homepage. "Principal, take a look at Nanfeng's latest update from last night."

After reading Nanfeng's post, Ke Renyi said calmly, "This guy holds a grudge. He's venting all his unhappiness with Xia Bei on you. So, are you going to respond?"

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, "Everyone's pointing their fingers at me and yelling at me. If I don't respond, it'll be a bit unreasonable."

"Besides, I am not only myself, but also the spokesperson for Xia Bei. Nan Feng's provocation of me is a provocation of Xia Bei. I don't care if I lose face personally, but Xia Bei cannot lose face!"

Ke Renyi's beard twitched. "Now you remember you're Xia Bei's brand ambassador? Why didn't you discuss it with me before collaborating with Yueji?"

Lin Mo looked completely innocent. "You didn't mention anything about this."

"..."

Ke Renyi's expression, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, was particularly comical.

After a long pause, he waved his hand weakly, "Respond if you want."

Lin Mo scratched his head. "We definitely need to respond, but before we do, I'd like to ask the principal if there's anything we should be aware of?"

"Just be mindful of your manners."

"Got it."

Hearing this, Lin Mo felt reassured. "Don't worry, their manners will be top-notch."

As he spoke, he tapped rapidly on his phone screen, and in just over ten seconds, he had edited the text, checked it, and then clicked send.

An Youyu came over with a cup of freshly brewed tea. "Principal, please have some tea."

"Thank you, An girl."

Ke Renyi smiled kindly, took the tea and sipped it, but when he saw Lin Mo's latest update, he spat out the tea in his mouth.

Fortunately, Lin Mo dodged quickly, and while dodging, he didn't forget to complain, "Principal, if you don't like me, just say so. Why did you have to resort to a sneak attack?"

Ke Renyi put down his teacup, puffed out his beard and glared at her, saying, "Come on, tell me properly, what is this thing?"

"Respond."

Lin Mo remained calm, as if he hadn't done anything.

Ke Renyi was so angry he jumped up and down, "You brat, come here and let me beat you up!"

Lin Mo chuckled, as if to say, "Principal, do you think I'm stupid?"

Seeing this, An Youyu curiously took out her phone and went to Lin Mo's social media page. When she saw Lin Mo's latest updates, she was both surprised and amused.

Lin Mo's latest update is very concise, consisting of only eight characters.

Screw you, I'm your father!

At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind.

Lin Mo was not lying.

This response...

Their manners are truly top-notch!

Chapter 582 It's best if you don't lie to me.

"Lin Mo! What are you still standing there for?"

Ke Renyi was so angry he gritted his teeth. "I told you to come here, didn't you hear me?"
