Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 141 Gentleness, Kindness, Respect, Frugality, and Humility

500 yuan, that's an astonishing number. You know, when Emperor Ruyan first sent him back to school, he paid 800 yuan. He hasn't spent that money yet and was planning to bring some money to exchange with her when he had the chance. He thought it was an insult, but he didn't expect that the Sichuan girl was only worth 500 yuan.

At this moment, Lin Mo was heating up some traditional Chinese medicine for himself in the kitchen while talking about how he had been 'hit' in the library earlier.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Old Mo, this woman is no simpleton. Luckily, you didn't let your little head control your big head and agreed immediately, otherwise, you would have regretted it."

After listening, the Sichuan girl took his phone and scrolled through the girl's WeChat Moments on the sofa, marveling at it.

"What do you mean? Is there some other trap?" Lin Mo asked curiously as he came out carrying the Chinese medicine.

He wasn't a self-media creator, so he naturally didn't understand the ins and outs. His rejection of the girl simply meant that he genuinely had no intention of becoming an internet celebrity.

As for the other party's honey trap, he not only didn't care, but even wanted to laugh a little, because what kind of couple are two people who are together for mutual benefit?
Feelings are feelings, and business is business. When feelings and business are combined, it can easily turn into illegal transactions.

"As it stands, there's no trap. After all, she didn't say she wanted to sign any contract with you. At most, she just wants to ride the wave of popularity and get you to do some work for her for free."

You're currently very popular online, and if she's paired with you as a couple, she won't have to pay any appearance fees. She'll definitely make a profit, at least she'll get the traffic.

"Look, this hasn't even happened yet, and she's already posting your photos and videos on her WeChat Moments and short video account." The Sichuan girl handed over her phone, shaking her head and laughing.

Lin Mo took the phone and looked at it. Sure enough, the girl already had his photos in her WeChat Moments, and even her Douyin account had a collection of photos of him in the library. Looking at the time, it had been posted less than 5 minutes ago. She was quick to act.

"No, where did you get his Douyin account?" Lin Mo asked, somewhat surprised.

The Sichuan girl puffed out her chest confidently: "Of course, I just asked her for it using your phone, and she gave it to me very readily."

Lin Mo:
Seeing his speechless expression, Chuanmei continued, "Don't even think about it. She just wants to freeload off you and get some traffic. As for developing a romantic relationship, that's all just wishful thinking. She's playing the pure and innocent school beauty, and her works are mostly dancing or sharing the daily life of a single female college student. How could she possibly announce her relationship online?"

Even if you agree to her request, you'll most likely just appear on camera together without mentioning your relationship status. Netizens can discuss your relationship, but she won't admit it. Finally, once your popularity wanes, she'll quickly distance herself from you.

"I gained a huge amount of traffic without spending a single penny. That's even more ruthless than that stupid MC company I just encountered; at least they gave me 500 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head. Although there were bound to be some errors in Chuan Mei's analysis, he had to admit that the possibility was not small.

“I didn’t have that idea in the first place. If I really wanted to appear on camera, I could have just asked you. How about I give you her WeChat? You can give it a try,” Lin Mo suggested.

Upon hearing this, the Sichuan girl shook her head repeatedly: "No need, my current identity is confidential. I advise you to delete it as soon as possible, otherwise this woman might even publish your chat history for the sake of traffic."

People online will use any means necessary to get traffic, so it's best to be careful.

Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded. Although he didn't work in the internet industry, he knew that there were often heated arguments and even more people exposing chat logs online.

"Hey? By the way, do you think we should delete Zhao Tingting's WeChat?" Lin Mo asked as he casually deleted Xia An'an's contact.

Sichuan girl:? ? ?
"No, you still have it? I deleted it a long time ago. Just like those idiot Minecraft companies, there's no way they'd stay in my friend list." Lin Mo:
As expected of Li Shiya, you are always so decisive and don't care about other people's opinions.

"No, haven't you ever thought about joining a company? That would be good for you, at least you wouldn't have to do editing and post-production yourself," Lin Mo asked.

Although Chuanmei's account has a lot of followers and she is capable of making money, it is still very tiring for him to do everything himself. Recently, with Director Wang's help, things have gotten a bit better, but it is not a long-term solution.

You could either join a better company or recruit your own staff and become your own boss. Mature companies are likely to be able to secure more business deals and earn more money.

"No thanks. Most self-media companies these days aren't good companies. They have too many clauses in their contracts. I'm afraid I'll lose my Li Shiya account if I get involved."

Besides, I'm not some influencer created by this company, so what's the point of having them? At worst, I'll just have to work harder myself, but at least I have freedom.

The woman from Sichuan seemed quite open-minded. Although the account was the culmination of her hard work, her already comfortable family background meant she had no worries. At worst, she could simply quit her self-media career and go back to live off her parents.

Seeing this, Lin Mo didn't try to persuade him any further. He knew the other person was a professional and must have his own plans. He then picked up his Chinese medicine, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp, his facial features instantly contorting.

Just then, the Sichuan girl appeared out of nowhere, bringing out a bowl of bright red spicy hot pot, and sighed as she spoke:

"Hey, people change all the time. You have to adapt to different circumstances. When you come to Jiangning, all I can eat is this kind of spicy hot pot."

Back in my hometown, there were many rules to follow when eating a bowl of authentic Sichuan-Chongqing spicy hot pot. You had to learn to be gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest, especially the word "modest".

For example, if I'm eating hot pot and a stranger sits next to me, should I offer them a bite or two?
Regardless of whether the other person can handle spicy food or not, they must accept the invitation; otherwise, it's considered disrespectful.

Mr. Lin, would you like a couple of bites?

As she spoke, the Sichuan girl pushed the hot pot towards him, picked up her chopsticks, and held them up to him with her fingers.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"Are you crazy? I'm not giving you any face. Do you think you're Ding Lianshan? I'm taking Chinese medicine, and I can't eat spicy food, you know that?"

By the way, where's Director Wang? Is he still asleep? He came with me this afternoon to visit our teacher. Didn't you two also want to get some treatment there? Let's go buy some things later; we can't just show up empty-handed!

Hearing this, the Sichuan girl's face clearly showed surprise and delight, but she still didn't relax her stance. She simply loosened her grip, letting the chopsticks fall onto the table, and said with a look of satisfaction:

“He’s a great talent. If you had come half an hour earlier, we could have gone together. It’s a pity, Mr. Lin, you’re too late. Not to mention a little while, you might not even be able to see Director Wang this afternoon.”

At this moment, Lin Mo's forehead veins bulged, and he immediately used the Jiamusi Big Strike, triggering the Mantis's passive ability, "Speak like a human, stop pretending to be a grandmaster!"

The Sichuan girl's eyes snapped back to reality: "Uh, the class monitor called me away!"

Lin Mo:
