Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 353 I've Become Zhao Yun?
As the saying goes, "A person with a sharp weapon is bound to have murderous intent." If I was afraid of you before I learned martial arts, but I'm still afraid of you after I learn martial arts, then what's the point of learning martial arts?
I even bit Emperor Ruyan's ear. Now that I've mastered my divine skills, I naturally want to challenge myself with something more difficult.

Nevertheless, the two did not fight. In the end, Zhao Yun, fearing his strength, ran away.

There's no other reason than that Zhao Yun was wearing a police uniform. No matter how excited Zhao Yun was to practice with him, Lin Mo still had his rationality. What if she accused him of assaulting a police officer while he was wearing a police uniform?
So Lin Mo immediately told Zhao Yun to take off her police uniform so they could have a real fight. Zhao Yun, true to her reputation as a ruthless woman with the same name as a fierce general from the Three Kingdoms period, immediately took off her police uniform shirt and challenged him to a one-on-one duel.

As a result, Lin Mo said that she also had to take off her pants, since the pants were part of the police uniform. Zhao Yun glared at him upon hearing this, then grabbed her police uniform jacket and went upstairs without looking back, not even waiting for him to get on the elevator with her. It could be said that she fled in panic.

Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh that knowing martial arts really made a difference; his aura alone was enough to make the other person avoid his sharp edge. It was just that this person was so rude; would it kill him to wait for me to get on the elevator together? It made him wait downstairs for two more minutes.

"Heh~ I really am a martial arts prodigy, one in a million!" Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh from his upstairs residence.

Since biting Emperor Ruyan's ear, Liu Ruyan has not shown her face for two days. She must be scared. Who wouldn't give a thumbs up to a man who can single-handedly defeat Emperor Ruyan and the fierce general Zhao Yun?
It was just late; otherwise, he would have definitely gone upstairs to chase after Zhao Yun and kill her today.

The next morning, Saturday, the school was quite quiet. After two months of adjustment, the freshmen had almost completely integrated into the new school, and their true nature was beginning to show. Morning exercise? Even dogs don't do that.

Of course, Lin Mo is not in this category. He doesn't exercise like a dog, but he does. His daily exercise comes entirely from his morning workouts. How can he make money without a good body?
It was Saturday, and the old lady wasn't home. It was a bit boring to exercise alone in the morning, but he still needed to get some exercise. After warming up and working up a sweat, he went out to get breakfast and returned to his place.

It's almost the end of October, and the weather is starting to get chilly. Even Miss Yuan hasn't been wearing skirts much lately.

After the two-day weekend holiday, and then in two more days it will be November, and a coat will be the norm. After the next snowfall, winter will begin.

Although Jiangning is not in Northeast China and its winters are not that cold, it is fortunate that it is located on the edge of the heating season, so winters are not as unbearable as in the south.

Miss Yuan, Wang Chuchuan's sister, was going to look at studio locations today, so she didn't bother him. Besides, he knew that this matter would eventually fall to Manager Ma of the community to look for suitable places in or around the community.

It's just a small studio. The place where the girl from Sichuan lives is perfectly adequate. At most, we can set up a few tables and computers. Anyway, there aren't many people here.

But Miss Yuan said that if she was going to do something, she had to do it to the best of her ability. She couldn't very well ask people to come to Chuanmei's place to discuss business when she brought in advertising resources in the future! She couldn't bear the embarrassment if they came out with bitter tea and smelly socks.

At 10:30 a.m., Lin Mo was quietly reading the Treatise on Febrile Diseases in the living room. He had almost finished the book, and if he reviewed it two more times, he would be able to memorize the whole book.

As for the shopping page, let's not even mention what happened these past two days. A 15-jin bag of Wuchang rice for one cent, a pack of 50 volcanic rock sausages for one yuan—they're not bad, just everyday items. Sure enough, every time a good thing appears, my luck goes down for a few days.

However, something is better than nothing, since we're almost out of rice at home, and grilled sausages are a good option for a late-night snack.

'bang bang bang'

"Brother, open the door, it's me."

Suddenly there was a knock on the living room door, and Liu Ruyan's voice came from outside.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo frowned slightly, got up, opened the door, and said directly, "You can come in if you want, why are you knocking? You know the password."

That's right, both Miss Yuan and Liu Ruyan knew the password to his door. Liu Ruyan even recorded her fingerprint, while Miss Yuan found it too troublesome and was too lazy to do it.

Miss Yuan knew this because the house belonged to someone else. As for Liu Ruyan, she asked for it directly; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to come over on her own.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo noticed that Liu Ruyan wasn't alone outside the door; his cousin Su He was also standing to the side, looking speechlessly at the pretentious woman next to her.

"Ahem. I was just showing respect," Liu Ruyan said with a dry laugh, her face burning slightly from the gaze.

Her intention was to let Su He know that she wasn't that familiar with the place, but Lin Mo didn't give her any reason to argue and directly exposed her.

Besides, doesn't she realize who secretly came here on Wednesday night? What's the point of pretending not to know them now?
Lin Mo didn't pay any attention to the two of them. They were all acquaintances anyway. He changed his shoes and went into the house by himself. He didn't even need to bring water or fruit. He could just go to the refrigerator if he wanted something to drink.

Anyway, that's how he and Liu Ruyan were at his cousin Su He's place; they didn't treat each other like outsiders at all.

"Take a look at this, I just got it."

As Lin Mo spoke, he took out a small porcelain box from the glass display case. The design was very similar to the face wash he had given to the two women, but it was not the same one.

That's right, Liu Ruyan was someone he specifically invited, but he didn't expect her to bring her cousin Su He along. But it doesn't matter, since he was going to have to take action anyway, and Su He had been through similar things before, so there was no need to keep it a secret.

On the contrary, Chuanmei, Wang Chu and others did not know that he had this side business, so they did not explain it if they could avoid it.

"Is this the secret ointment you just acquired?"

Upon seeing this, Liu Ruyan and the other woman excitedly took it and asked.

"Otherwise what? But this is the only one available. Don't ask me if I have any more. If there were more, I would love to have as many as possible so I can earn more myself," Lin Mo said, preemptively.

He's no longer the naive young man he once was, and he naturally understands how much women value their faces. Even though both of them have great skin now, it doesn't diminish their desire to possess it, especially for wealthy women who don't lack money.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, both women showed obvious disappointment. Although they didn't need it for the time being, they felt that the more of this kind of thing they had, the better.

As the lid of the porcelain box was opened, a transparent, gelatinous object was revealed to the two of them, emitting a faint fragrance.

"This time, the quality seems to be much better than last time. At least the taste is good," said Su He, Su Cousin.

Liu Ruyan nodded: "At least it looks decent. The stuff we used last time was yellowish and smelled like expired honey. If it weren't for the huge changes in Yuanyuan and you, I would never have tried it. Are you sure this stuff isn't as effective as the one we used last time?"

In terms of appearance, this aloe vera gel is indeed much more appealing than the sulfur facial cleanser from last time. At least it doesn't have that cheap smell, and the color is clearer and brighter. However, the effect is definitely not as strong. "Well, it's alright. Their functions are somewhat different. The one you used last time only improved your skin condition, whitened, and minimized pores, basically restoring your skin to its best condition. But you still need to protect your skin and use moisturizing skincare products regularly."

But this one is different. Although it's not as effective, in addition to whitening, it can also fade spots, remove acne, and moisturize. The way to use it is also different from yours. This one is applied to the face before going to bed at night." Lin Mo tried his best to explain the differences between the two products to the two of them with his limited knowledge.

But no matter what, the shopping page won't lie to him; it must be effective. And barring any unforeseen circumstances, the effect should be quite noticeable, better than any other skincare product on the market.

The reason it's not as strong as sulfur facial cleanser is simply because it's not a concept product; it can't automatically change over time. Instead, it improves little by little. But it's enough for Ms. Cheng, since she already took good care of her skin. As long as these effects work, looking ten years younger is no problem.

"Alright, whatever the effect, let's use it first. My mom is staying at my house and won't leave. She's seriously affecting my life. By the way, how much does this secret ointment cost?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes lit up. "We're separate from our feelings and business. Although this thing of mine is a risk-free business, the results are amazing."

However, the two were acquaintances after all, and Ms. Cheng was a generous person. If she asked for several hundred thousand yuan, saying it was at cost price, not only would he not be able to say it, but Liu Ruyan and the others would not believe it either. After all, Lin Mo had no money before, but he could still produce several portions of secret medicine. So this thing could only be obtained through his personal connections.

"Let Auntie use it first and see how it works. If it works, just give her a little bit more," Lin Mo cleverly passed the buck back to her.

His ideal price is around 50 to 100; he feels he would be losing money if it were lower.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's lips curled up slightly: "Oh, you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid I won't give you the money?"

"Stop joking. My sister Ruyan has a great family business. When has she ever shortchanged me, a measly little thing?" Lin Mo laughed.

He wasn't worried at all, mainly because the person in front of him had a special relationship with him. The two of them also owned a restaurant. He made money, and Liu Ruyan gained connections. It was a win-win situation, and this small amount of money was really not a big deal.

If this item weren't so scarce, giving it away for free wouldn't be out of the question, since we're all family. But since it's rare, we should still accept a small amount.

"Alright, since you're so straightforward, little brother, I'll be frank with you. As you know, this stuff isn't available on the market, so it's hard to price. But if it's exceptionally effective, it can outperform even the most expensive skincare products in the world. So, I have two options for you to choose from."

"First, a fixed price of 200 million. This is the price my mother said herself. I didn't embezzle a single penny," Liu Ruyan said with a smile, holding up one finger.

But before she could finish speaking, Lin Mo stepped forward, cupped Liu Ruyan's soft hands in his hands, and interrupted her, saying, "Please thank my godmother and me for me. I choose one!"

Just kidding, that's two million! As expected of the previous generation's Emperor Ruyan, you have such vision and generosity. I'll sell you something good next time.

Who is Liu Ruyan? She's just a nobody, so stingy. Sure enough, this rich woman gets richer with age. Liu Ruyan is just a rich second-generation.

From this point alone, Lin Mo understood deeply that the old A8 was still an A8, and its wealth and prestige were not just empty words.

Liu Ruyan:
Su He: ? ? ?
"No, Young Master Duo? Say it again, Young Master Duo? Auntie isn't giving my brother a dowry so he can marry into the family!"

Su He didn't care about the term "godmother" used by Lin Mo; instead, she was shocked by the amount of money.

"Go to hell, it's 200 million, but only if the effect is very obvious. However, with the previous cases, my brother's products still have a good reputation," Liu Ruyan said, pulling her hand away and giving Su He a reproachful look.

Cousin Su He was completely stunned. She knew that Liu Ruyan's family was rich, with luxury cars, villas, and large apartments, but was it really right to spend this much money on a secret skincare cream?

Seeing her expression, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "You used the secret medicine that your brother gave us last time, and you know how effective it was. Let me ask you, if someone else were selling it for 10 yuan a dose, with your current income, would you buy it?"

Hearing this, Su He thought about it carefully. She was a manager at the company and earned over 10,000 yuan a month. Occasionally, she could earn more than 20,000 yuan a month. With her current income, she was neither married nor had any children to support. If the effect was so good, she would grit her teeth and buy a copy as long as she had the chance, no matter how difficult it was.

After all, she is a woman and doesn't have much pressure. She won't need to prepare a car, house, or dowry for her future marriage, nor will she have to shoulder the main responsibility of supporting the family. So, she should spend the money on herself.

"Let's meet!"

"Isn't that enough? If a woman with your income is willing to spend money on her appearance, then wealthy wives are even more willing to do so."

To be honest, this price seems a bit inflated, but if the news gets out and people believe it, and it goes up in an auction house, you'll really see how crazy those rich wives or heiresses are—it'll definitely cost more than this.

But the premise is that people have to believe it. The reason my mother believes it is because of the examples of me, Yuanyuan, and her mother Aunt Jiang. Others can't say for sure, so the price is still acceptable," Liu Ruyan explained.

Su He nodded, then asked, "What about the second option?"

"Then let my younger brother come back with me to see my mother. They can talk face to face and maybe he'll get more out of her," Liu Ruyan said with a sly smile, her eyes darting around.

Su He: "Choose the second one, bro. (To please your mother-in-law, you can even give her away for free. Once you have her, 200 million is nothing.)"

Su He thought to herself, feeling very anxious, and couldn't help but pinch her cousin.

Lin Mo: "Why are you pinching me? Even if you beat me to death today, I'm still going to choose one. My godmother is so generous!"

Su He: (艹皿艹)
Godmother my foot! Aren't mothers-in-law much better than godmothers?
Just then, the door was suddenly banged on loudly, followed by Zhao Yun's voice from outside.

"You little thief Lin Mo, come out now! Today you'll see whether you live or die!"

Lin Mo: "I've become Zhao Yun?"
