Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 270 Director Wang: Just put it in the hunky men's section.
Lin Mo didn't know why the pajamas were a little damp, but Liu Ruyan did know, though she didn't say anything.

Logically speaking, as a company leader, she doesn't need to clock in on time, so there's no need for her to get up early. But why is she feeling guilty?
Of course, it wasn't just because I felt guilty that my pajamas were wet; there were simply a lot of things to do.

Firstly, the holiday had just ended, and there was a backlog of work at the company; secondly, Lin Mo had presented her with new challenges.

Although she obtained the agency rights to entertain guests at Linmo Hotel, she still had to bear the responsibilities that came with it.

She needs to make decisions on a series of matters, such as restaurant location selection, decoration, and restaurant operation plan.

Fortunately, she didn't need to follow up on these things herself, but she still had to instruct her subordinates, which just meant spending more money.

Putting everything else aside, if Lin Mo were to run this restaurant himself, no matter how simple it was, it wouldn't be able to open in less than three months. Just setting the prices for the dishes would be a significant problem.

If the price is set too low, it won't make money; if it's set too high, wealthy people aren't easily fooled. The price must be significantly lower than that of top-tier domestic hotels, but it can't be too outrageous.

The key point is that Lin Mo himself doesn't know the prices of the top restaurants in China, since he's never eaten there.

Therefore, Liu Ruyan needed to find professionals to make plans for all of these things, and she also needed a designer for the interior design, which all cost money.

That's why Liu Ruyan said that the four or five million in Lin Mo's hands is nothing. It seems like a lot, but there are many more places to spend money.

She arrived at the company in a flurry of activity, where managers from various departments were already reporting on their work.

Dong Pangzi, who had been reinstated as manager, started shaking again, smiling like Maitreya Buddha. But upon closer inspection, one could see that he had lost a lot of weight compared to before, after all, he had been under a lot of pressure for the past month or so.

Not only was he anxious about his own future, but he also had to endure the strange looks from his former subordinates. Fortunately, he was mentally strong and managed to get through it.

However, since Dong Pangzi was reinstated, he has become much more low-key. After all, a new emperor brings a new court. The previous Manager Yang might not have cared about his work performance, but the current General Manager Liu can't. It's better to keep a low profile.

Now at the company, he always greets everyone with a smile and is very easygoing, even with some of the newly recruited graduates, for fear of creating another Lin Mo or Miss Yuan.

After all the department managers had left, leaving only a stack of documents, Liu Ruyan turned to her secretary, Xiaotian, and asked, "How are the preparations going on the things I asked you to do yesterday?"

"President Liu, we've already contacted the design and construction teams, and we should have results by noon today. However, the design team will need to conduct an on-site survey."

"The chairman's secretary gave me the information yesterday and selected a few locations. We're waiting for your decision. What do you think?" Secretary Xiao Tian said, holding a document and explaining everything in detail.

Liu Ruyan rubbed her temples: "Take the things, I'll approve them in the car. Let's go to the site and try to finalize it as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Mr. Liu, I'll go prepare the car." Xiao Tian nodded and picked up a stack of documents from the table before leaving.

If Lin Mo were to rely on herself, it would take several months to open the restaurant, but she wouldn't. With the help of her family's resources, she was able to quickly get the restaurant up and running.

Now that we have this opportunity, we can't delay. We must act as quickly as possible. If we delay for several months, who knows what might happen? Let's make it a done deal first.

Besides, opening a day earlier would bring her more benefits, so how could she not be eager?

As for Lin Mo's suggestion to open the business one day a week, she particularly agreed. How could someone she cared about be stuck in the kitchen every day? What would be the point?

Furthermore, with Lin Mo's culinary skills, he can certainly justify the high price due to the rarity of the food. If the restaurant were open every day and anyone could eat there, its prestige would drop.

What she wants is for tickets to be hard to come by; otherwise, why would people go through her to eat? If they don't go through her, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?

Meanwhile, at Lin Mo's residence, he began to review the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" again, and then memorize the next book. He did not plan to visit Professor Li anytime soon.

Even the local specialties his mother gave him, he decided to deliver directly to Professor Mu's staff dormitory at noon.

As for opening a restaurant, since Liu Ruyan had taken it on, he was happy to have some free time, and he didn't take it too seriously.

The reasons I wanted to open a restaurant like this are twofold: firstly, I've acquired the skills, so I should put them to good use; secondly, I want to make more money, since nobody turns down money.

But most importantly, he needs to establish a legitimate business for himself. Otherwise, if he makes money in the future, he won't know how to explain it to his family. There has to be a limit to reselling, right?
It's fine once or twice, but if it happens too often and he earns too much money, his family won't believe it. That's why he only said he earned one million when he went home this time.

However, if you open a restaurant, you'll have to pay taxes on time when you make money, unlike before. But these are minor issues; it's only right to pay taxes when you make more money.

As for opening only one day a week, to outsiders it might sound like a marketing tactic to elevate his image, but Lin Mo himself knows that he'd love to open every day to make money, but his resources simply don't allow it!

'bang bang bang'

"Old Mo, it's me, open the door quickly."

Lin Mo, who was curled up on the sofa reading a book, was suddenly interrupted by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

You don't even need to look; you can tell she's from Sichuan just by listening to her voice.

The door opened, and lo and behold, there were Wang Chuchuan, class monitor Wang Jing, and He Xiaoyue—all four of them were there.

"Are you four now conjoined twins?" Lin Mo asked, frowning.

Wang Chu and the squad leader are understandable, especially since they are now exercising together and agreeing to lose weight. But are Chuanmei and He Xiaoyue really that free?

Although the class monitor had a decent relationship with them before, they probably had more contact during this period than they had in the past three years combined, let alone with He Xiaoyue.

"Go to hell, has Emperor Ruyan really left?" With that, Director Wang stuck his head in and looked into the living room.

Lin Mo:
"Your name is Wang Bo, but don't act like a bastard, it's too sleazy. Besides, I'm not replying to your messages anymore, don't worry, I left after breakfast this morning."

Hearing this, the Sichuan girl's courage surged. She shoved Director Wang aside, then swaggered in and said:

"Exactly! Look at your cowardly self. From now on, don't call yourself Wang Bo. 'Turtle' is fine!"

Then the class monitor and He Xiaoyue, while covering their mouths and laughing, changed their shoes and went into the house.

"No? You weren't acting like this just now. You know the person isn't there, so you're pretending. Are you even human?" Director Wang said incredulously, feeling like he had been betrayed.

There was nothing they could do; the pressure from Emperor Ruyan was simply too great. If he were here, they wouldn't dare to come at all.

"Help yourself to something to drink," Lin Mo said.

Before he could finish speaking, Director Wang and Chuanmei went straight to the refrigerator, while the squad leader suddenly noticed the items in the display case.

"Cosmos brand cigarettes? Is that a brand?" Lin Mo:
"It's being sold at a street stall, Director Wang, you can take it later!"

That's right, this is what he bought from the shopping page this morning. It has no special effects and is not valuable, but it's still more presentable than the other adult toys.

Looking at it this way, yesterday's Tiger Balm was actually a high-quality product. Sure enough, there's no worst, only worse.

One carton costs one cent, so why not take it? Just consider it free cigarettes.

"Let me see what's going on?" At this moment, Director Wang walked over, drinking an iced cola. He picked up the cigarette, looked at it, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll take it then, since you don't smoke anyway!"

Lin Mo waved his hand without the slightest reluctance, after all, handing over a piece of trash to another piece of trash was a win-win situation.

"By the way, do you still have any news about Zhao Tingting's matter from yesterday?" Lin Mo asked, taking a bottle of soda from Chuan Mei.

Hearing this, the four looked over, their faces showing excitement. Chuanmei even said, "We wanted to talk to you about this last night, but you had something to do!"
I later heard from that woman that the police had arrived and everyone had been taken to the police station. Luckily, Director Wang and I ran fast, otherwise we would have been questioned too.

As for whether anyone else at our school knows about this besides us, I'm not sure.

Upon hearing this, the group sighed in dismay. They were all classmates, so how did they suddenly end up like this?

If this gets out of hand and the school finds out, it might make graduating difficult, let alone now that he's in jail. I just don't know how it will end.

"Let's not talk about her anymore, Lao Mo. We're going to buy some groceries later and have a get-together at your place!" Director Wang suddenly said.

This immediately garnered strong approval from the other three.

"Yeah, Lao Mo, don't worry, we've taken care of all the ingredients, you don't need to spend any money, you just need to cook!" Chuan Mei chimed in.

The other two women didn't say anything, but their expressions said it all.

Lin Mo:
"What did you guys come here for? Turns out you're just craving food? No way, it's too tiring, I'm not cooking."

And you, Director Wang, didn't you want to help Zhao Tingting yesterday? Why don't you want to talk to her anymore today?

Lin Mo deliberately spoke up, and while speaking, she glanced at the class monitor's expression twice. Finding that everything was normal, it seemed that this was actually a good thing for her.

Squad leader Wang Jing thought so too. She didn't believe that even with Zhao Tingting acting like this, Director Wang had other ideas. So when she heard the news, she wasn't unhappy at all; on the contrary, she was secretly pleased.

"I wanted to help because we're classmates after all, but I didn't want to bring it up because it wouldn't make a difference. I'd rather think about what to eat for lunch. Lao Mo, we ate the food you brought back yesterday. It was amazing! All four of us said we'd never eaten such delicious food before," Director Wang said excitedly.

Lin Mo leaned back on the sofa and asked, "So?"

"So why don't you cook another meal? The class monitor said that as long as you're willing to cook, she'll let me eat my fill today," Director Wang said, coming over to massage his legs and flattering him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo turned to look at the class monitor, only to see that her eyes were somewhat evasive.

"What's wrong? Can't we even eat the delicious food? Besides, we've been training so hard lately," the squad leader said, his face flushed.

The food Lin Mo brought back yesterday, although not as good as freshly cooked food, was still a very satisfying meal for the four of them.

Once a person has tasted delicious food, their stomach starts to itch. So, when they heard that Liu Ruyan had left, they came over together.

"You're tired, but I'm even more tired. Besides, look how hot it is outside. I don't want to cook. We can just eat out, it's on me!" Lin Mo waved his hand and refused.

Don't even mention that his skills have failed today; even if they hadn't, he wouldn't have bothered cooking.

When he woke up this morning, he found that he didn't feel the same way as yesterday. Although he could roughly remember the steps of cooking yesterday, he could never make it taste the same. Even his knife skills had disappeared.

Seeing that he refused, the four of them exchanged glances, then stepped forward in unison, surrounded him, and stared at him without saying a word.

"What? I already said, it's impossible not to do it. Even if the four of you talk until the end, it won't make a difference," Lin Mo said nonchalantly.

These four people posed no threat whatsoever to him; two and a half women plus a half-starved good-for-nothing, he wasn't afraid of a fight against four people.

The Sichuan girl shook her head: "No, Lao Mo, I suddenly had an idea!"

Lin Mo:
"The idea king? Here we go again?"

"What idea king? This is definitely a great idea that can make you rich. Why don't you open a restaurant? With your cooking skills, you can definitely dominate our university town area."

Don't worry about the money. Thanks to you, my follower count has skyrocketed recently, and I have some money on hand. You can use it. I just saw a restaurant for rent; you can take it over.

"As soon as you open, I'll become a food blogger and promote your business for free. I guarantee your store will be packed with customers and your profits will be rolling in!" the Sichuan girl assured, patting her chest.

Immediately, class monitor Wang Jing spoke up: "Xiaoyue and I can be your waiters. Money doesn't matter, just make sure you provide us with three meals a day!"

He Xiaoyue: "That's right, that's right! Let's start from a small store, grow it into a chain store, and after graduation I won't look for a job. I'll be your lobby manager, and the class monitor will be your accountant. When you succeed in your business, we'll both have found jobs. Isn't that great!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh that when foodies are faced with delicious food but haven't actually tasted it, their IQ is like a man with a cigarette but no lighter—second only to Einstein.

"No, my cooking skills are only good enough to run a small shop, but do you know how much that would cost? And you're lending it to me?" Lin Mo said.

Upon hearing this, the Sichuan girl held up two fingers: "I'll take on a few more ads and scrape together 20. I can also contribute another 10 while you're renovating!"

Upon hearing this, Director Wang, seeing that the Sichuan girl had contributed money and the two women had contributed their labor, while he himself had not made any contribution, gritted his teeth and said, "If all else fails, I'll take out a loan. I saw a loan ad on the wall behind our school. By the way, can men take out a loan?"

I'm confident in my body, so I can take pictures of whatever I want, from any angle. I'll take pictures of my whole body from every angle. As long as it costs over 3000 yuan, I don't care about the money. My main goal is to show him the beauty of men. No need to blur his face, just put him in the "macho men" section.

"I refuse to believe it! I'll take 3,000 yuan from each restaurant, I'll take 20, and I'll give you 50,000 yuan, Lao Mo. I'll use the remaining 10,000 to buy some sausages for myself. What do you guys think?"

Sichuan girl:.
He Xiaoyue:
Wang Jing: [Disgusted, suddenly don't want it anymore]

Lin Mo: o(￣▽￣)d

"It has to be you! You're so loyal!"

Director Wang: "Hey guys!"
