Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

The following day, April 28th, at 10:10 a.m., the hotel entrance was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and two long rows of flower baskets were placed at the entrance.

When the time came, Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan simultaneously pulled down the red ribbons, and the red cloth fluttered down, revealing a sign that read "Jin She".

Along with the falling red cloth came the sound of firecrackers. It wasn't until today that Lin Mo realized his hotel already had more than thirty employees.

There are receptionists, waiters, cooks, cleaners, and various middle-level managers inside.

Even so, the number of people recruited is not yet complete. It has to be said that the monthly cost is quite high.

As for the flower baskets at the entrance, apart from those sent by the class monitor and a few others, the rest were bought by my cousin Su He just for show, since they don't have many friends in Jiangning.

Of course, if Liu Ruyan had just asked, there would have been plenty of people willing to send flower baskets to her hotel. However, Liu Ruyan was smart enough not to let Lin Mo get involved in her business.

After all, her friend isn't Lin Mo's friend. If things go well in the future, or if the two get married and their personalities are compatible, they will naturally become friends. There's no need to make such a fuss now.

After Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan untied the red cloth, they took Chuan Mei and Su He into the elevator, where the sound of celebratory cannons could be heard outside.

After the group left, the hotel staff went about their duties. Thanks to Li Shiya's promotion yesterday, there were still guests staying at the hotel today. Ding Lei, General Manager Ding, why are you only talking about getting everyone involved in the work outside?

Inside Su He's office, the four people sat down. Since they were all acquaintances, there was no awkwardness between them.

"Xiao Li, take a look. If you think it's okay, sign it," said Su He, Su He's cousin, placing a contract on her desk.

Upon hearing this, the Sichuan girl said helplessly, "Cousin, we're all family, why do we need this? I'll just give you verbal permission, okay?"

"No way, let's keep things separate. I already asked you to help me yesterday for nothing, how can I keep bothering you? It's not much money, just 50,000, don't mind. And you don't need to cooperate with the photos, we can just make it ourselves with bean buns," Su He said with a smile.

Lin Mo, who was standing to the side, said, "Alright, Chuanzi, this is after all you're using your image rights to make money, so it's only right. Don't refuse, just sign it quickly. By the way, have you submitted your thesis yet?"

As he spoke, Lin Mo handed her a pen. Chuan Mei had no choice but to sign it without even looking at the contract. She then said, "Not yet, I'll hand it in when I get back. What about you?"

“Same here, I’ll go back and hand it in too. The sooner I hand it in, the less trouble I’ll have. Director Wang and the others are still writing it!” Lin Mo nodded.

Time flew by and the day to submit their papers arrived. Before, they didn't feel anything special; graduation was just a title to them. But as soon as they submitted their papers, they both realized that graduation was no longer just a title, but that they were truly saying goodbye to their student status.

You know, being a student may seem like nothing, but they've been students for over ten years. They can use their student IDs to ride high-speed trains and regular trains, and they can also use them at some tourist attractions. The thought that they won't be students anymore soon makes them feel a little melancholy.

"That's right, but Director Wang and the squad leader are quick, they said they can get it done today, Xiaoyue is much slower."

After signing the contract, Chuanmei handed it back. Upon seeing this, Suhe couldn't help but smile and say, "Okay, I'll have the finance department transfer the money later."

"You're treating us to lunch, bro. Let's celebrate a bit. Ruyan, you can go back to the company this afternoon!"

“I’m fine!” Liu Ruyan said.

She came straight here this morning, so an hour or two won't make a difference.

"Hey? Cousin, who arranged this office for you? It's pretty good. Last time I came to that office, did Ding Lei use it?" Lin Mo asked.

Upon hearing this, Su He laughed and said, "How could that be? He's using his old office. The one you went to last time is empty. It looks like it was reserved specifically for you!"

"What? Old Mo actually has a private office here? Damn it, you really deserve it. Damn it, after all these years in college, I never thought you'd show off like this in the last six months. Do you even know how to sit in that office?"
"Where is it? Take me to see what's going on!"

The Sichuan girl broke down and grabbed Lin Mo, insisting that he take her to see his private office.

"No, what's so interesting about an office? Go easy on me, fuck!"

Watching the two figures pushing and shoving each other as they walked away, Su He and Liu Ruyan couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"It's so good to be young!"

Liu Ruyan nodded: "Indeed, even an office can be so vibrant. Wait, I'm not old!"

Su He: →_→

"Stop trying to make yourself look good. Compared to middle-aged Dengs in their thirties and forties, you're not old, but compared to my younger brother and his friends, even if you're ugly, we'd be nice to call you 'old auntie,' or even 'old spotted dove,' you'd better accept it!"

In response, Liu Ruyan raised her chin and said smugly, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Who told me to be so pretty? Even if I'm ten or eight years from now, young people will at most call me 'good sister'~~hehehe!"

Su He: "Damn it, you've finally gotten to eat young grass. Look how smug you are. What a waste! How come I always end up with someone who's not handsome, young, and rich!"

"Get lost! If you want this kind, I can find some for you in a minute. It's your own fault for not wanting it!" Liu Ruyan spat.

Su He: "Can you guarantee his character?"

Liu Ruyan: "Then I can't guarantee that!" Su He: "What nonsense are you talking if you can't guarantee something!"

This is the crux of the matter: handsome, young, and rich men are indeed rare for others, but Liu Ruyan does know some, though she can't guarantee their character.

The reason Lin Mo was at ease was largely because Su He was there to vouch for him. After they got together, she learned about Lin Mo's personality and his life story from childhood through Su He, so she naturally had a good understanding of him.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo led Chuan Mei to the largest office in the hotel, the same one Ding Lei had brought him to before.

"Waaaaa~ Wa ...

As soon as she entered, the Sichuan girl let out a strange cry. Seeing this, Lin Mo said helplessly, "Did you eat a toad?"

"Get out of here! This is your office? Tsk tsk tsk, although it's luxurious and spacious, it's obviously the style that middle-aged men like. These solid wood tables and chairs, this calligraphy and painting of 'Heaven rewards diligence,' if you were to sit here to work, I can immediately picture it. No wonder my cousin doesn't like this place."

"Oh my, seeing your private office like this makes me feel better all of a sudden," the Sichuan girl said with a smile.

When Chuanmei first heard that Lin Mo even had his own office here, she was incredibly jealous, but she wasn't envious at all of it.

Although the tables, chairs, and decorations inside look expensive, this style is really not appealing to young people.

"Let me see, wow~ Even though you're not here, you still have cigarettes, alcohol, and tea in your office. It feels so good to be waited on like this~ Ah!" The Sichuan girl casually opened a cabinet, which was filled with cigarettes, alcohol, and tea.

He didn't understand wine and tea, but he knew that cigarettes were from Huazi.

Lin Mo also sat in the boss's chair this time. To be honest, he really felt like a boss. In the past, this was Liu Ruyan's seat in Liu Ruyan's office. He never thought that he would be sitting in it one day.

Just then, Chuanmei took out a pack of cigarettes, opened it, took one out, and walked over with a mischievous grin. She pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Lin Mo, saying with a smile, "Old Mo, you don't mind smoking in your office, do you?"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"You can?"

Sichuan Girl: "Never mind me, I'm going to smoke in your office, whether you agree or not!"
This kind of opportunity to shit on your boss's neck is rare indeed!

As he spoke, a flame shot out from the lighter in his hand, lighting the cigarette. He didn't inhale, taking a puff and exhaling.

"Cool!"

Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him: "Boring, that's all you've got!"

"I'm willing, my friend is the boss here, and I'm working for him for free, I just like it. Wait, you're the boss here, and I'm working for you for free, why the hell am I smoking here?" The Sichuan girl slapped her thigh.

Half a minute later, Lin Mo sat in the boss's chair, his eyes wide, looking up at the Sichuan girl who had placed the chair on his desk and was sitting in it smoking. He swallowed hard: "Seriously? Are you crazy?! You can smoke, but why did you put the chair on the desk and then sit on it?!"

The Sichuan girl exhaled a puff of white smoke: "I'm happy to! Even though you're the boss of this hotel, I'm here to run rampant! Hahaha, this is awesome!"

His buddies are the owners of this hotel, so what is there for him to hold back? Of course he'll let loose!
Just then, the office door opened, and Liu Ruyan and Su He walked in. Upon seeing this scene, both of them froze on the spot.

"What's going on with you two?" Liu Ruyan was a little confused by this behavior.

Lin Mo: →_→

"He said I was the boss here, so as my friend he could do whatever he wanted without any consequences, which is why he started smoking like that!"

Su He laughed and said, "What's the point of smoking like that? If I wanted to, I'd dare to smoke on Ruyan's head in Ruyan's company!"

Upon hearing this, the Sichuan girl's eyes lit up: "Great idea! Come on, Lao Mo, let me ride you!"

As he spoke, he actually came over, which scared Lin Mo so much that he stood up immediately: "Get out of my way! I'm the owner of this hotel, do you think I'd let you bully me? Besides, only an idiot like you would do something so outlandish!"

Ten minutes later, at the hotel entrance, the Sichuan girl held up her phone and recorded a video of the sign at the entrance, shouting loudly as she recorded: "Yes, yes, yes, sit a little closer to the middle, put your feet down, step on your hotel sign, yes, yes, that's it, don't move!"

At this moment, a figure was sitting on the sign with the hotel's name on the hotel entrance. That's right, it was Lin Mo. He was drinking beer with one foot on his own hotel sign, feeling extremely comfortable.

He came up from the second floor. The Sichuan girl's behavior made him realize that he was actually the owner of this hotel. So what was he afraid of? He could do whatever he wanted!

Upon seeing this, Liu Ruyan and Su He both slapped their foreheads in unison. Sure enough, the people around the abstract person weren't good people either.

If Lin Mo can become good friends with someone as abstract as Li Shiya, how good can they be? After all, birds of a feather flock together, and there's no limit to how abstract things can get.

Liu Ruyan: "Little brother, be careful! Come down quickly!"

Su He: "You brat, get down here right now! Our hotel just opened today, don't embarrass me here!"
