Lin Mo clicked his tongue. "Principal, do you think I would dare to go over there looking like this?"

Ke Renyi laughed, a laugh born of anger, "Is there anything in this world that you wouldn't dare to do?"

"Look at what you're saying. There are many things that students wouldn't dare to do."

Lin Mo said half-jokingly, "For example, if you asked me to beat you up right now, I definitely wouldn't dare."

Ke Renyi: "..."

What a brilliant move of turning the tables!

No!

We have to teach this kid a lesson today. If he keeps going like this, things will get out of control.

"come here!"

"I'm not going."

"..."

An Youyu covered her mouth and chuckled as the two bickered. Seeing this, she spoke up to help Lin Mo out of the predicament, "Principal, please don't be so angry."

Hearing An Youyu's voice, Ke Renyi's expression softened slightly, but his anger still hadn't subsided. "Girl, you be the judge. Didn't Lin Mo go too far?"

"He's the face of Xia Bei. To make such a statement on a public social platform like Jiao Ke is not just a disgrace to himself, but to the entire Xia Bei!"

"cough--"

An Youyu blinked. "Principal, I don't think Lin Mo did anything wrong in this matter."

"what?"

Ke Renyi looked at An Youyu incredulously, "Didn't you see the latest updates on this kid's social media?"

"Looked."

"Then why do you say he didn't do anything wrong?"

That's just how it is.

An Youyu said matter-of-factly, "Nanfeng kept provoking Lin Mo, so isn't it normal for Lin Mo to retaliate?"

"But the boy swears!"

"Only by uttering swear words can you cleanse your heart."

Ke Renyi rolled his eyes at this theory. "Girl, that's nonsense! You have to be mindful of your manners in public, especially since Lin Mo represents Xia Bei. You should be even more mindful of your manners."

An Youyu pouted her lips, "Anyway, I think Lin Mo is right."

Ke Renyi: "..."

have to.

I've seen people who defend their own, but I've never seen anyone defend their own like this.

The girl's attitude was very clear: she was siding with her family regardless of the facts.

Ke Renyi realized he couldn't reason with An Youyu, so he gave up and focused his attention on Lin Mo again. "I order you, now! Immediately! Delete that post you just made!"

"impossible!"

Lin Mo refused decisively, "A man's word is his bond! If I delete it, wouldn't that just make me a laughingstock?"

"you……"

Ke Renyi slapped his forehead, picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. "You two... one is impossible to reason with, and the other won't listen. I'll admit defeat, okay?"

Lin Mo walked around the coffee table and sat down next to Ke Renyi with a grin. "Please calm down, old man. I'm using my personal account this time. Even if someone wants to slander me, it's just slander against me personally. To be honest, my role as their spokesperson is fake, so you don't need to worry at all."

"But then again, Nanfeng has repeatedly provoked me, and the celebrities he associates with have incited their fans to attack me. They were the ones who acted unjustly first, so I don't need to be polite to them. They make me unhappy, but I'm not allowed to curse them? There's no such logic in the world, don't you think?"

"You're full of fallacies!"

Ke Renyi's eyes widened. "I see now. An's girl has been corrupted by you. Can't you teach her something good?"

Lin Mo sneered, "Blame me. Blame me."

You have to admit defeat when necessary, after all, you have to save face for the principal.

Seeing that Lin Mo had made a mistake, Ke Renyi's anger subsided considerably. "You've already cursed me, so how do you plan to win the bet now?"

Lin Mo didn't hide anything about this. "Principal, Yueji Music's user base can't compare to Quanmin Music's, but sometimes having more users doesn't necessarily mean it's better."

"how do I say this?"

“The bigger the operation, the wider the scope of interests involved. Think about it, a music app's page is only so big, and the number of recommendation slots is limited. They are basically occupied by popular songs and big names. Even if the song 'Youth' is licensed to Quanmin Music, the platform can't provide recommendation resources.”

Lin Mo revealed his thoughts, "On the other hand, Yueji Music is different. In my discussions with the person in charge at Yueji, I have secured enough recommendation resources. In addition, with the cooperation of my and Xiaoyuer's social media accounts, we have such a large amount of traffic. Even if Nanfeng gets ahead for five and a half days, he still can't beat me."

After listening to Lin Mo's analysis, Ke Renyi was surprised. "Now that you mention it, it seems to make sense. Well then, since you and An Yatou are using the school's social media account anyway, remember to use the school's account to promote the song. Our school's account has a considerable number of followers."

Lin Mo laughed, "Even if the principal hadn't said anything, I would have done it anyway."

Ke Renyi was both amused and exasperated. "You're really not going to hold back, kid. Fine, I'll wait and see how you turn the tables in such a short time."

"Alright, just you wait and see."

"Didn't you say you had two things to ask me about? What's the other one?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo glanced at An Youyu.

Noticing Lin Mo's gaze, An Youyu quickly squatted down, picked up the teapot, and refilled Ke Renyi's tea. "Principal, have some tea."

"Thank you."

Ke Renyi nodded with a smile, but seeing that Lin Mo remained silent, he couldn't help but kick him. "I'm asking you a question! What else is it?"

Lin Mo coughed lightly, "Principal, the students have been..."

Seeing Lin Mo stammering, Ke Renyi grew impatient and said, "Just say what you have to say."

"Principal, I'm a little short on money lately. When will the incentive bonus you promised arrive?"

"cough!"

Ke Renyi almost choked, "Well... Lin Mo, this money..."

Seeing that things were not going well, Lin Mo decisively said, "This amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for the principal. It's not easy for Xiaoyuer and me to earn our hard-earned money. The reason we didn't receive it before must be because you were too busy and forgot about it, right?"

"..."

Ke Renyi was speechless, his lips twitching. He stared at Lin Mo for five or six seconds, then closed his eyes and said, "Fine, fine, I'll have the finance department transfer the money to you in a bit."

Taking the opportunity, Lin Mo added, "By the way, Xiaoyuer's endorsement fee hasn't arrived yet. Since we're going to pay him, why not just pay him all at once to save trouble? What do you say?"

"May you prosper, prosper, prosper!"

Lin Mo: "The principal is awesome!"

An Youyu, standing by the coffee table, raised her left hand and exclaimed, "The principal is so domineering!"

Ke Renyi: "..."

These two little guys are even teaming up?

Too much!

As it turns out, money is still essential.

Around noon, Lin Mo and An Youyu received the payment notification.

Lin Mo didn't seem to feel anything.

An Youyu was so happy she almost flew away. Looking at the balance on her bank card, she jumped around in her dorm room for a while, holding her phone. After calming down, she immediately called Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo, Lin Mo, have you received the payment notification?"

"received."

"Hey, I received it too."

An Youyu asked in a boastful tone, "Guess how much money I have in my bank account right now?"

"One thousand two million four hundred and fifty-seven thousand three hundred and twenty-one yuan!"

An Youyu's pupils widened in shock, and she exclaimed, "How...how do you know so much?"

"Guess."

"I don't believe it. How could you guess even a single digit so accurately? Are you after my money?"

"Little Fish..."

An Youyu reminded her with concern, "Let me tell you, you can deceive me emotionally, but you are not allowed to deceive me financially, and you cannot covet my money."

"..."

"Did you hear that?"

"heard it."

In the dormitory, Lin Mosheng sat on his bed, feeling utterly hopeless. Then, as if a new world had opened up for him, he grinned mischievously at his phone: "Little Fish, I can fool your feelings, but I can't fool your money, right?"

"that……"

An Youyu's weak voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's best if you don't lie to me."

Lin Mo: "..."

Ultimately, the call ended with him extorting a meal from An Youyu.

Around noon, Lin Mo arrived alone outside the south gate of Xia Bei. After a few minutes, Liu Jin pulled up by the roadside. "Mr. Lin, thank you for waiting."

Just call me Lin Mo.

"Alright, I'll take the liberty of calling you Minister Liu, just call me Brother Liu."

"no problem."

After a few simple pleasantries, Lin Mo pulled a USB drive from his pocket and handed it to Liu Jin. "Brother Liu, this contains the audio of 'Youth.' How's the platform's recommendation of it going?"

Liu Jin took the USB drive and gave Lin Mo an OK sign. "Don't worry, I'll handle this personally. From 1 p.m. until 8 p.m. tomorrow, the Yueji homepage will only feature the song 'Youth' on the banner."

At this point, he smiled mysteriously, "Not only that, I also had an event organized."

Lin Mo looked curious. "What kind of activity?"
