Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 21 Beginner Equestrian Mastery

"You shameless slut!"

"How can a grown man be so shameless? I knew this woman wasn't a good person, you awful bastard!"

"You little brat, see this clearly. Stay away from her from now on. She's shameless enough to lose all sense of shame just to get whiter skin. How come I never noticed before that she's so good at seducing men? Bah!"

In the internet cafe, the two were playing duo queue. As they played, Yuan Meng cursed, because Liu Ruyan's last move had really broken Yuan Meng's defenses.

It wasn't that she liked Lin Mo, but rather that she couldn't stand Liu Ruyan flirting with men, and that pitiful look was something Miss Yuan lacked.

With her small frame, she could only act like a minor and act coquettishly at most; she couldn't possibly do that kind of thing.

She already disliked the other party, and this time she was determined not to let Liu Ruyan get the secret recipe from Lin Mo. Sooner or later, she would turn Liu Ruyan into a haggard old woman, and she would be just as angry as she was now.

"Sister Yuan, President Liu seems alright."

"Can you say that again?"

"Ahem, but compared to Sister Yuan, I'm still far behind. Don't worry, what kind of relationship could I possibly have with her? My internship ends next week, and I'll be going back to school then, so we won't see each other at all!" Lin Mo quickly corrected himself.

Although Empress Ruyan doesn't have a good reputation in various novels, this is reality, and besides, she's really beautiful. That small face, that figure, she's definitely a leading lady in the older sister genre.

While legal lolis are appealing, older sisters are even more alluring. That's right, Lin Mo prefers someone more mature.

Hearing this, Yuan Meng felt much relieved. There were only a few days left. They would have a holiday in the next two days, and Lin Mo would leave after only a few days of work next week. As long as she kept a close eye on him, she didn't believe that Liu Ruyan could get what she wanted.

The two fought their way up and finally reached a higher rank.

At 11 p.m., Yuan Meng got up, stretched, and said, "I'm exhausted. Sigh, I'm really getting old, my blood and energy are not good. Let's go get acupuncture together?"

"Huh? Sister Yuan, you're not feeling well, why don't you go tomorrow? Why do you need to go for acupuncture so late at night?" Lin Mo asked, puzzled.

Although the hospital is open 24 hours a day, is it really necessary to make such a fuss over something as simple as acupuncture?

Then he heard Yuan Meng say softly, "Hmm~ it's the kind with individual strands, and it has beef or mutton on it."

Lin Mo:
It turns out that acupuncture can only be done late at night; I really learned something new.

If you're hungry, just say so. Why go through all this complicated stuff?

Soon, the two left the internet cafe and found a nearby barbecue stall, where they ordered a table full of barbecue.

Actually, he wasn't very hungry. After all, he couldn't join in when Yuan Meng and Liu Ru were bickering in the afternoon, and could only eat on the side.

However, Miss Yuan was hungry and was so focused on confronting Emperor Ruyan that she forgot to eat more. In addition, she was afraid that Liu Ruyan would covet the secret recipe in Lin Mo's hands, so the two of them ran away after eating only half of their meal. It would be strange if she wasn't hungry.

"Sister Yuan, what did you mean by what you said to Emperor Ruyan this afternoon? Is the company planning something big?"

While eating, Lin Mo asked a question.

Even though he was about to leave, he was still curious when he ran into him. Plus, Dong Pangzi had acted so inhumanely today, he wanted to know if there would be any retribution.

"Huh? Didn't you hear that from the side? Why are you asking me?" Yuan Meng replied speechlessly, clearly not understanding his question.

"I just didn't understand," Lin Mo said with a wry smile.

He was just a college student who hadn't graduated yet, from an average family, and had never experienced anything so mind-bending.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Meng sneered, pulled out a tissue to wipe the oil left by the crayfish on her fingers, and said:

"Simply put, Liu Ruyan's family thinks she's ready now, so they've brought her over to train on her own and also to resolve the issues with this small company. Our company's general manager, Yang Chuan, used to be an old hand who worked for Liu Ruyan's father. If Uncle Liu were to intervene, it would be too ruthless and somewhat heartless. Liu Ruyan, on the other hand, doesn't have those concerns."

Although Liu Ruyan hasn't been to the company recently, she's already started investigating privately. She knows about what happened at the company today; it was deliberately orchestrated by Yang Chuan and his group. If nothing unexpected happens, there will soon be a major purge of the company's management, and as for Fatty Dong, he definitely won't escape!

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo exclaimed in surprise, "So they're going to purge the management team? How did you figure that out?"

"Hey Sister Yuan, could you tell me what's wrong with our company?"

He genuinely didn't realize that, although it was an internship and the salary wasn't much, the company still paid him every month, and things seemed quite harmonious.

"Profits are declining, costs are increasing, but our partners are doing perfectly well, and their business volume is even increasing. What do you think?" Yuan Meng asked rhetorically.

Lin Mo shook his head: "I don't understand."

"Duh, the partners are normal, the business revenue hasn't decreased, but the company's profits have decreased. Someone must be up to no good."

It's normal for management to have some extra income in a company, and sometimes even the higher-ups turn a blind eye. As long as you bring enough profit to the company, it doesn't matter if you take a little for yourself. But clearly, some people in our company have become greedy.

Yuan Meng picked up a lamb skewer, took a bite, and continued:

"As for Liu Ruyan knowing exactly what happened at the company today but ignoring it, it's because if she really takes over the company, the employees' pay cuts will be a good thing for her. The most important thing is that the bad guys are someone else, and it has nothing to do with her. At the very least, she can restore the salaries and still win people's hearts. Do you understand?"

Lin Mo nodded. He understood now. To put it bluntly, it was all about where you stand. He still had a typical student mindset, while Liu Ruyan was already a qualified businessperson.

After a quick bite, Yuan Meng drove him home. Before leaving, she specifically told him to contact her anytime if Liu Ruyan still harbored ill intentions.

Seeing this, Lin Mo had no choice but to agree.

When Lin Mo got home, it was almost 1 a.m. He couldn't wait to open his phone and start his exciting daily shopping spree.

【A set of Mingguang Armor, heavy armor; ¥23.5】

[75-inch Ultra HD Smart LCD TV, ¥11.5]

[Beginner to Advanced Equestrian Skills; 60-minute horse stance training, guaranteed to learn; ¥3.12]

[One carton of Furongwang cigarettes; ¥5.9]

"Damn it, another pile of garbage."

After glancing at it, Lin Mo couldn't help but spit out his words.

The quality of the items that have been refreshed in the last two days has been generally poor, especially since he now holds a huge sum of money. Even so-called gold is just so-so in his eyes, unless the weight is enormous.

Forget about the Radiant Armor; although it looks cool, he's not an armor enthusiast. As for a television, forget about it—he's renting an apartment right now, why would he need a TV?

As for cigarettes, they're just scrap metal, there's no point in including them.

All that's left is basic equestrianism, but that hour of horse stance really puts a lot of thought into it.

After thinking for a moment, he took his phone to the bathroom and sat on the toilet.

With the payment successful, Lin Mo happily opened Douyin (TikTok) to kill time.

He's really mastered this skill: legs during the day, ghost at night, Odbiao on sunny days, and forging knives in the rain.

Look closely, this man's name is Xiao Shuai. Just recently, he and his girlfriend Xiao Mei...
