Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Last month was a bountiful month, and on the day of Miss Yuan's elder brother's wedding, Miss Yuan gave them gifts containing gold. It can be said that this month, they all made a fortune.

Whether you're a working-class person or a rich second-generation like Miss Yuan who's experiencing life, you're always happy to get paid.

"Alright, Sister Yuan is treating us to lunch today. Director Wang will go to the cafeteria to get his food later. By the way, Chuanmei, are you still going to buy that electric scooter? If you are, hurry up and buy it!" Miss Yuan called out, then asked.

Upon hearing this, the Sichuan girl replied listlessly, "I'll buy it for tomorrow. You guys get ready for your interviews. I'm going back to take a shower, change my clothes, and rest for a bit!"

This morning was so exciting! He was paraded through the streets as soon as he woke up. All he can say now is that he's tired, mentally exhausted, and doesn't want to face reality.

The thought of being paraded through the streets, seen by so many passing cars, and even having vegetable leaves thrown at him by Lin Mo made him feel that he was having a bad day and shouldn't be out.

"Then go ahead, it's good that you're not in my way!" Miss Yuan waved her hand to shoo him away.

Faced with this, Chuanmei had no choice but to go home alone. He felt that on April Fool's Day, he was the only one who had fooled someone.

After Chuanmei left, Director Wang went to the cafeteria to get his food. Soon, the first girl to come for an interview that day arrived.

Because they received their salaries today, the group was able to treat the interviewees, even those with bizarre values, with a normal attitude.

The joy of getting rich overnight outweighs all the pain. I'm earning money that involves some suffering, so what more could I ask for? Isn't this the kind of suffering I'm supposed to endure?

Although today is April Fool's Day, nobody cares, and nobody uses this holiday to prank their friends. Well, we're all past that age.

Only high school students and those below high school level celebrate April Fool's Day because there aren't many entertainment options. Once you get to college, there are plenty of other entertainment options, so who would bother with April Fool's Day jokes?

As for after graduation, everyone will be working like beasts of burden, thinking about how to make money. Who will care about this little holiday?
Everyone was working hard in the studio, while Chuanmei went home, took a shower, changed her clothes, and lay in bed for two hours before finally recovering.

Everyone else is getting rich, so naturally he's making even more. He's recovered all the losses from last month's stock trading, and even has some left over. This month, he's been working even harder, and he's getting a lot of advertising, all at pretty high prices. That's all money waiting for him to make. Just thinking about it fills him with fighting spirit.

He even decided to do two more live streams this month so he could earn more money, since his two live streams last month were very successful.

While you can't do live streams every day, doing them occasionally is perfectly fine. Even though you're not a streamer, you still need to interact with your fans through live streams.

Lin Mo remained calm because there was an elderly person among the waiters, and no problems arose throughout the process.

The front desk has now become Su He's exclusive spot. If the two weren't siblings, her demeanor would give off a very relaxed and bossy vibe.

After all, the restaurant belongs to my cousin, so being here feels just like being at home; it's very comfortable.

As time passed, the guests arrived soon, at two tables as usual. Although the waiters were a little inexperienced serving the dishes for the first time, they managed to do so successfully.

At 9:30 p.m., Lin Mo and Su He, siblings, finally returned home from get off work.

"La la la, Ruyan~~ We're back!"

Su He was carrying a box containing small cakes that Lin Mo had made during his free time after serving the dishes. They were meant as dessert, and he gave one to each of the two tables of guests. They received many positive reviews, and some people even wanted to order them, but Lin Mo politely declined. Although he could make desserts himself, they weren't meant to be sold.

Because once such desserts that can be taken out of the restaurant appear, orders will definitely surge, so it's better to use them as a small trick to retain customers.

"You're back! Are you tired today?" Liu Ruyan asked with a smile.

Su He shook her head at this, saying, "Anyway, I'm not tired. I played on my phone at the front desk all day, it was so relaxing. My little brother, you've worked hard today!"

"That's true. You're currently practicing one skill and six at a time. Who can be as comfortable as you?" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Lin Mo and said, "Little brother, is the bag on the table a gift you prepared for me?"

"Yes, I bought it especially for you," Lin Mo said with a smile.

He knew, of course, that Liu Ruyan was referring to the bag he had left on the table that morning.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan quickly ran over, then jumped onto him and clung to him: "Oh~~ there's another surprise, mua~"

Su He: →_→

"Hey, there's another living person here! Look at me, I'm a person too!"

"If you're willing, just shut your mouth!" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at her.

Hearing this, Su He sighed helplessly and said, "Oh, it's pitiful that I'm single and didn't even receive a gift on my birthday, while some people receive them on ordinary days. Heaven is truly blind!"

That's right, today is Su He's birthday, and Lin Mo, her younger cousin, naturally remembered it. Otherwise, why would he make desserts and cakes today?
Of course, it's not that April Fool's Day is her birthday, it just happens to fall on this year. Su He's birthday is the 14th day of the second lunar month, a truly big birthday.

Of course, Lin Mo's birthday is also quite significant, falling on the 23rd day of the third lunar month, which is considered a major birthday. Liu Ruyan's birthday is slightly less significant, falling on the 9th day of the seventh lunar month.

Actually, the two met last year on Liu Ruyan's birthday. That's right, it was during the two days when Lin Mo returned to school. However, given their relationship at the time, Liu Ruyan wouldn't tell him even if it was her birthday, let alone invite him to celebrate.

Last year, Liu Ruyan had dinner with Su He on her birthday, and Su He also prepared a gift for her.

Although it was her birthday, being single, she didn't care much about it. She just wanted a simple ceremony; she had no intention of throwing a big party and inviting a bunch of friends over.

Miss Yuan, on the other hand, enjoys lively gatherings. Last year, on her birthday, she treated the two of them to dinner during the day and then celebrated again at home that evening.

"Get lost! The gift is ready for you, it's on the coffee table, go see for yourself!" Liu Ruyan said helplessly as she got off Lin Mo. Hearing this, Su He's eyes lit up: "Really!!"

After saying that, she ran to the coffee table in the living room and sure enough, she saw a beautifully packaged gift box on it. She couldn't wait to open it.

"Ahhh~~~ Thank you, baby, you're so good to me! You're so beautiful!" As she spoke, Su He ran over and kissed Liu Ruyan on the cheek.

It was only then that Lin Mo realized that the so-called gift was a pure gold bracelet, sparkling and very shiny.

Although it's not very thick and doesn't weigh much, it's very beautiful. Even though it doesn't weigh much, at the current gold price, it's worth at least ten thousand or eight thousand.

"How about it, bro? Pretty, right?" Su He asked with a smile, swinging his arm as he put on the bracelet.

Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Liu Ruyan and asked, "My cousin actually likes this kind of thing? It looks so flashy!"

"No, she just likes gold. If I had given her gold bars directly, she would have pretended to refuse twice before accepting them. I was too lazy to play that game of refusing three times, so I gave her a pure gold bracelet," Liu Ruyan said frankly.

Lin Mo:
Okay, okay, he probably thought his cousin wasn't the type to like such flashy things, since she doesn't usually wear a watch or any jewelry.

Hearing this, Su He didn't seem to care: "Gold is great, it holds its value. When I first met Ru Yan, no one in the dorm knew she was a rich girl. She pretended to be an ordinary, simple school beauty and fooled us for more than two years."

Then one day I suddenly saw a video online, saying that my roommate of four years was a rich woman. The author was shocked because during those four years, the author who made the video often took care of her rich roommate. The author was so angry that she gave her roommate a good beating.

After I finished reading it, I realized something was off about Ruyan. She had such a sophisticated air about her, unlike someone from an ordinary family. So, I suddenly beat her up in the dorm. She couldn't take it anymore and actually admitted she was rich. She even took me to ride in her Porsche, which made me so angry I beat her up again!

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo quickly turned to look at his girlfriend.

Liu Ruyan glanced at him and said, "What are you looking at! I've already admitted I'm a rich woman, do you still want to hit me?!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but roll her eyes. Was that something she admitted? This was their first official meeting, and Liu Ruyan's identity was that of the company boss. If she wasn't a rich woman, who was?
If the two had met in a different setting, and without his cousin Su He involved, and had managed to find a partner, Liu Ruyan could have kept it a secret from him for years. She could have even pretended to be poor every day during those years, making him support her with the living expenses he got from his family.

However, this also reveals that Liu Ruyan was indeed beaten, and not just once, but twice by her cousin.

"Liu Ruyan, Liu Ruyan, I'm not trying to criticize you, but look at my brother, this straight guy, he still knows to prepare a gift for you. You two have been dating for so long, why didn't you prepare a gift for him?" Su He said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan instantly transformed into a fierce tiger: "You're talking nonsense!"

"I didn't buy his car, and I didn't help set up his restaurant!"

Su He: "You even took my brother's bank card! You're giving my brother a little treat, making him work hard for you. There's a professional term for this: 'baiting.' Do you think I don't know?"

"Pah! I bought his watch and clothes!" Liu Ruyan retorted.

Su He raised her hand upon hearing this: "Stop. I know about that watch, but isn't it used to pay the balance for selling skincare products?"
As for clothes, that's even more ridiculous. You just think my brother has terrible taste in clothes. I'm talking about gifts, purely everyday gifts!

"I bought it, but he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't even want it!" Liu Ruyan said aggrievedly.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"Wait a minute, what's this? I don't see it. What did you buy for me?"

He really had no recollection of it. He hadn't received any daily or holiday gifts from Liu Ruyan; on the contrary, he had lost a lot of his yang energy.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him: "Umbrella!"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"What kind of gift is an umbrella?!"

Liu Ruyan: "Eleven thousand!"

Lin Mo shuddered: "What kind of crappy umbrella is this that's so expensive? It's highway robbery!"

Liu Ruyan: "The Gucci collaboration umbrella! Not to mention the umbrella, you haven't even used the electric toothbrush I bought you, it's still just lying there!"

Lin Mo: "I have an electric toothbrush, this one..."

Liu Ruyan: "imask electric toothbrush, over 8000!"

Lin Mo:
Liu Ruyan: "And the tea canister I gave you, I know you love tea, I had it specially made!"

Lin Mo: "Just tell me how much!"

Liu Ruyan: "Sixty-eight thousand!"

Lin Mo: "That thing costs 68,000? If I didn't not smoke, I'd want to use it as an ashtray!"

Liu Ruyan: "Sixty-eight thousand each, and I'm giving you a pair!"

Lin Mo:
"Excuse me, I've mistakenly trespassed into the imperial palace!"
