Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 134 Did it happen later?

Tang Xuehai must be quite old to have reached the position of university president. In his limited decades of life, he had tried everything he could, but he never expected that something so outrageous would happen before his eyes.

Can the words "university of science and technology, computer science major, senior student, medical student, and last disciple" be connected?
He had worked at the school for so many years, and this was the first time he had ever seen a student from his school use their talent points to study medicine.

To the point that a highly respected professor of traditional Chinese medicine in the city wanted to personally take him on as an apprentice, how exceptional must his talent be?

As Professor Mu's junior brother, and even his senior sister who had visited him more than once and was only rehired after three visits, Tang Xuehai naturally knew the identity of his senior sister's husband.

A professor from Jiangning Medical College, an expert at the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, wanted to take on apprentices. He had many students at his own school who wanted to learn from him, so he poached people from a university of science and technology.
If Professor Mu hadn't said it himself, he would have thought someone had drunk fake alcohol and was just bragging. How could someone drink like this after only a few dishes?
After confirming the truth of the matter yesterday, Lin Mo's information was placed on his desk that very night. He was a senior majoring in computer science, and his performance over the past three years had been unremarkable. He had never joined the student union, nor had he won any awards. His grades were average, and he had even failed a course. Although he passed the make-up exam, he was still ineligible for various scholarships and grants from the school.

It can be said that apart from her striking appearance, she is as ordinary as can be.

At first, when Professor Mu said that this was her student, he thought it was a signal. In fact, it was the child of one of his senior sisters' relatives. After all, he was only a senior and had not yet taken the postgraduate entrance exam. How could he be Professor Mu's student? He never expected that this would be the final result.

Moreover, judging from his senior sister's expression, she was quite unwilling for her husband to steal her student. It's truly unbelievable to see a couple arguing over a student.

Meanwhile, in a study room, Lin Mo was being interviewed by the Jiangning Daily media.

There weren't many people, just a man and a woman; the man was setting up a camera, and the woman was probably a reporter.

"Lin Mo, if you're ready, we'll begin now," reporter Ren Xue asked, clipping her microphone to his collar.

It's obvious that this is the kind of interview where the reporter doesn't show their face; they just ask questions.

"Okay," Lin Mo nodded nervously.

Perhaps noticing his nervousness, Ren Xue smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Lin. It's just a few simple questions. Just answer them truthfully."

Ren Xue, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, has a sweet appearance. Looking at the boy sitting in front of her, her eyes are full of smiles.

The male college student, full of youthful energy and with a clean-cut appearance, was hard to dislike. Moreover, when she was setting up the microphone for him earlier, she had gotten a little too close, and she could clearly sense that he was somewhat embarrassed.

She couldn't help but sigh that college students are so much better—they're not greasy, easy to talk to, and highly obedient. She felt that her interview today should go very smoothly.

To be honest, he was a little nervous about the interview with the official media. He took a deep breath and nodded.

Seeing this, Ren Xue waved to the cameraman and started recording. Ren Xue first gave a brief introduction to the incident and Lin Mo's personal information, and then the two chatted briefly before slowly getting to the main topic.

Ren Xue: "Lin, what was your first thought when you discovered the fire?"

Lin Mo: "Let's stay far away."

Ren Xue: "What made you choose to save people? Didn't you ever think about what dangers you might encounter?"

Lin Mo: "I didn't think that much about it, and besides, I wasn't the only one rescuing people; other residents were also helping."

The questions and answers between the two were perfectly normal official questions; anyone who wasn't mentally unstable would know how to answer them.

Ren Xue then asked several more questions about the details of the fire and his feelings after rescuing people. Lin Mo answered them all very seriously, basically saying whatever sounded good, regardless of what he was really thinking, and that he had to be positive when he spoke.

Seeing Lin Mo's cooperation, Ren Xue's face relaxed even more.

"Well, because of this matter, Lin has been very popular in the media recently. I've compiled some questions that netizens really want to know, and I'd like to ask Lin to respond to them, is that alright?" Ren Xue asked with a smile.

The previous questions were official tasks, requiring official announcements on the official account, so they naturally had to be more formal. The following questions, however, were much easier, just some unimportant chatter, which they would edit and release as appropriate.

Lin Mo was no longer very nervous and his expression was more relaxed. He smiled and nodded in agreement, since these two questions wouldn't make a difference anyway.

Ren Xue: "Okay, the first question is that netizens are curious about your identity. Some people online say that you are a rich second generation and even cited the fact that the watch you wear is very expensive. What is the truth of this?"

Lin Mo: "I'm just an ordinary student, not some rich kid. I come from an ordinary family. As for the watch on my wrist, it was a gift from a friend, and it's probably a high-quality replica."

Ren Xue: "Since you are a student and your major is not excavator operation, have you studied it before?"

Lin Mo: "Yes, I learned some basics from a master, and thankfully nothing unexpected happened."

Ren Xue: "After you successfully rescued the person, why did you choose to leave quickly? From the surrounding surveillance footage, it seems you still ran away. Did you not want to attract attention?"

Lin Mo shook his head and said something that shocked Ren Xue: "No, it's because I stole the excavator from the construction site next door. The driver wasn't there, and I was afraid they would find out later, so I just ran away. Fortunately, nothing bad happened."

Later, when I learned that the construction site belonged to my friend, I felt much more at ease. Otherwise, I might not have dared to give the interview, fearing that the excavator operator would see me.

Ren Xue:
He's neither a rich kid nor does the watch look real. I thought he was doing a good deed anonymously, but it turns out he was afraid of being caught stealing a car? He only felt comfortable giving an interview after finding out the construction site was a friend's project. His thought process is just unbelievable.

Finally, after the two shook hands, the brief interview ended, and Ren Xue had to hurry back to write the copy and release the video.

Meanwhile, in the principal's office, Professor Mu was discussing the application process for other honors with Principal Tang when Lin Mo knocked on the door and walked in.

"Teacher, Principal Tang!" Lin Mo greeted him politely as he entered.

Regardless of anything else, he is still a student, so being humble and polite is never a bad thing.

"Xiao Lin is here. Is the interview over?" Principal Tang asked with a smile.

His tone was much more amiable and approachable, lacking the overly formal feel of their first meeting. Lin Mo wondered how Professor Mu had managed to talk to him during that time. Lin Mo nodded, "It's all done, thank you, Principal!"

"Haha, no need to be so polite. Your teacher and I are discussing trying to get you some more honors. Also, I don't think you've joined the Party yet, have you?"

"Your teacher just mentioned this to me. Find some time to write an application to join the Party. You have a heroic act, so there's no problem with that," Principal Tang waved his hand and smiled, directly offering another reward.

For ordinary students, it is very difficult to join the Party while in school. Even becoming a probationary member is rare. Only those who are exceptionally outstanding or have won major awards have this opportunity.

Lin Mo wasn't even a probationary member of the Communist Party, and he had never even imagined that he would have such an opportunity, so he was quite surprised and delighted.

"Thank you, teacher and principal!" Lin Mo quickly expressed his gratitude.

In response, Professor Mu waved his hand and said, "This is what you deserve. Why thank him? He's giving you a little benefit like squeezing toothpaste. Do I need to remind him of this?"

"My student is here just in time. Quickly bring out your tea leaves. My student has specialized in tea brewing, so don't try to fool me with inferior tea. I want good tea, don't ruin my student's skills."

Principal Tang was taken aback: "Xiao Lin has even learned how to brew tea?"

Lin Mo: "I know a little bit~"

Ten minutes later, Tang Xuehai watched Lin Mo's fluid tea-making movements at the tea table and fell into deep thought.

No, are all students these days so multi-talented?
She has a talent for medicine, her massage skills are comparable to those of a chief physician in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, she can operate an excavator to save lives, she is a hero, and now she even knows tea ceremony.
"Teacher, Principal, please try some."

Lin Mo handed over two cups of tea and invited them over.

Professor Mu, quite naturally, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then a look of contentment appeared on his face.

After taking a sip, Principal Tang began to doubt whether it was still his own tea leaves, as the taste was so different from what he usually drank.

At this moment, he understood why his senior sister was so angry about her husband stealing her students. If it were him, he would be angry too. Don't you have students at your own school?
Meanwhile, at Yuan Meng's maternal grandparents' house, Yuan Meng, her family of three, and her maternal uncle were all present.

"Brother, is Dad alright?" Yuan Guocheng asked.

The eldest son, Jiang Jianguo, nodded: "It's alright, he's already asleep. The second son really angered Dad today. That good-for-nothing, when will he ever stop making things difficult for me? He's only happy when he's driven his old man to his death."

Today, Yuan Meng's family came back for dinner, firstly to keep the two elders company, and secondly to talk about Yuan Meng's second uncle and his son.

Parents always want to see harmony between their daughters, after all, they are brothers. But this is just too much. If the siblings have a falling out, even if they stop seeing each other in the future, they should at least let their parents know why. They can't just suffer in silence, otherwise the old couple will think there's something wrong with their family.

During dinner today, Yuan Meng's second uncle didn't think he was wrong at all, and even argued that he and his son meant well, and that it was their family that didn't appreciate it.

But the old man was no ordinary person. He was old, but he wasn't stupid. How could he not see through his son's intentions? He smashed the cup directly on his second son's forehead.

Then the family got into a commotion. The second son, Jiang Jianshe, felt that his father was being biased because his younger sister's family was better off. In the end, he smashed his bowl and chopsticks and stormed off, which made his father very angry.

As for Yuan Meng's cousin, he didn't dare to come at all and hid, probably knowing what he had done.

"Brother, if it really comes down to it, let's go to the hospital. I'll get Dad a nice private room so he can stay there for a few days. Dad's getting on in years, and he got angry today. I hope nothing bad happens to him," Old Yuan suggested.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jianguo shook his head: "Dad doesn't want to go. Besides, Dad is already this age. If he goes, the doctor's advice is to rest. It's not as good as staying at home. I'll ask Dr. Li to come and take a look another day. He examined Dad before and he's been doing quite well."

"Alright, this is also my fault. I couldn't persuade Xiaoyue, and things have gotten so ugly," Comrade Yuan said with some self-reproach.

"It's not your fault, second brother."

Inside the house, Miss Yuan and Ms. Jiang were keeping the old lady of the house company.

"Mom, don't worry, Dad has taken his medicine and is asleep," Ms. Jiang said, patting her elderly mother on the back.

Miss Yuan also handed over a glass of water: "Grandma, please calm down."

The old lady sitting on the bed had a full head of white hair and a face full of wrinkles. She wore reading glasses and was still quite healthy. She patted Miss Yuan's head and said with a smile, "I'm not angry. I've known what your second uncle is like for a long time. He's just like this in his life. As long as you two are doing well, that's all that matters."

But Yuanyuan is already so old, you should find someone suitable as soon as possible. Grandma might even get to see you get married!

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan said shyly, "Grandma~ I'm still so young, I don't want to get married."

“You’re still young? When your grandma was your age, your eldest uncle was already in school,” the old lady retorted.

Ms. Jiang chuckled from the side, "Mom, times have changed. Getting married is considered late now."

“Exactly, and this also depends on fate, right?” Miss Yuan chimed in.

"That's true. Speaking of fate, when I was young, many people introduced me to potential partners, but in the end, they all introduced me to your grandfather," the old lady said with a smile, her face full of reminiscence, as if the scenes from decades ago were just yesterday.

She can still clearly remember the scene, which shows that the old lady had lived a very happy life.

But at that moment, Miss Yuan suddenly spoke up and asked a question that seemed completely out of place.

"Really? Did it work out in the end?"

Ms. Jiang:
old lady:
