Chapter 396 The Most Standard Door-to-Door Gift
Originally, netizens had already pinpointed Li Shiya's approximate location to be near the university town in Jiangning City. Because she was trending on social media on October 1st, many people assumed that Li Shiya was from the neighboring art academy, especially since the "hand brother" in her video was also proficient in sketching and drawing.

Not only are the figures in her paintings lifelike, but even US dollars can pass through a banknote detector. Not only netizens and students near the university town, but even the art academy next door thinks Li Shiya is from their school.

Even now, there are people from the neighboring art academy who are staking out Li Shiya every day, hoping to take her down. The students from the neighboring art academy have also started a self-investigation.

After more than a month, there has been no progress. Now, these few people have suddenly exposed the food street outside the store. Although the address is not marked, there are all kinds of netizens. In addition, the nearby university town has already attracted a lot of students to the location.

Fortunately, the name of Ms. Yuan was added to the sign of [Mengya Media]. If [Shiya Media] had been listed, their location would have been exposed in no time, and their studio might have become a popular spot for internet celebrities to take photos.

"Old Mo, you should have said so earlier! If you had told me you could drive, I would have left with you a long time ago."

Inside the tank 500, Director Wang was laughing so irrationally, touching the steering wheel.

Although Liu Ruyan's car was downstairs, Lin Mo didn't drive it. Who knows when she'll leave today?

Fortunately, he had the foresight to do so yesterday, otherwise he would have had to sleep on the sofa again. Although the second bedroom is not as comfortable as the master bedroom, at least it has a big bed.

The girl from Sichuan can drive her car, but she needs to go upstairs to get the key. On the other hand, Miss Yuan's tank has its key in the studio, and anyone who wants to drive it can drive it.

However, since squad leader Wang Jing was always there, Director Wang hadn't touched the car for quite some time.

"Hey buddy, how could I not think of you? Hey? Why are so many people carrying luggage today!" Just as the two drove out of the residential area, they saw a group of students carrying backpacks and suitcases walking towards the subway entrance.

And they weren't just one or two, but groups of three or five, many people together.

"The job fair is over, so those who found jobs should go to work. Tomorrow is Monday, so they should go straight to the company. Not only today, but many people left yesterday as well."

"There are no more than ten of us from our class still living in the school dormitory, including me, the class monitor, and He Xiaoyue, and that number should decrease in a couple of days," Director Wang explained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath. Since the start of his senior year, he and Chuan Mei had only spent a few days in the school dormitory.

I didn't seem to say much to my classmates in other dormitories either. I hadn't thought about it before, always thinking there would be a future, but time flies by, and I haven't even seen many of my classmates since they left school.

The next time we meet will probably be when we come back to pick up our diplomas after graduation, and then we'll truly go our separate ways.

But he was lucky, because all the other people in his dormitory, except for Lao Zhao, were together.

If he and his girlfriend had come back together back then, maybe the studio could have two more people, and it would have been more lively with everyone together.

But he also knew it was unlikely. It was already difficult enough for the three of them to get together. After all, not everyone can stay with you for a lifetime. Old Zhao had his own girlfriend. Even if he could come back in the short term, he would probably go back to Northeast China with his girlfriend in the end.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but ask, "By the way, have you been in contact with Lao Zhao lately?"

"Yes, but we don't talk much. I don't know what Lao Zhao has been busy with lately. If I say something to him, I'm lucky if he replies the next day. Is working outside that busy? What about you? Have you spoken to Lao Zhao lately?" Director Wang asked while driving.

Lin Mo nodded: "Just like you, we only exchange a few words occasionally. If this kid could still reply to messages, I would have thought he had been kidnapped to northern Myanmar."

But recently, Lao Zhao has been sending fewer voice messages, and he doesn't answer voice calls at all, let alone video calls. However, judging from his tone, he doesn't seem to be in a good state; he seems a bit depressed. Could it be that he's having trouble at work and his boss is giving him a hard time?

It's not surprising that he thought that way. He wasn't a complete novice when it came to work. If he hadn't met Miss Yuan back in the company, Fatty Dong alone would have been enough to give him a hard time.

After all, a higher-ranking official can have a crushing effect. Most college students who have just entered society or haven't even graduated yet would be at a loss and have no way to deal with such a situation.

Even seasoned veterans who have worked for many years are no different when faced with difficult situations from their superiors. The only difference is that the veterans have already adjusted their mindset, while the newcomers do not.

"Who knows? I asked him, but he wouldn't tell me. But it's okay. When Lao Zhao comes back in the second half of the year, our studio will be up and running. We'll dazzle him. Maybe we can even work together," Director Wang said with a smile.

He didn't think too much about it; he just wanted to help Chuanmei develop her studio so that she would have a place to settle down. They were all classmates, and they could continue to be together as before, which was better than struggling outside.

“That’s true. Maybe Old Zhao will see how well we’re doing and won’t leave,” Lin Mo said with a smile.

As the two drove away, they saw many students carrying suitcases going into the subway station. At that moment, Lin Mo finally realized that his college life seemed to be entering its final countdown.

The crowd was huge, not only from their school, but also from senior students from several nearby universities, since the job fairs were all held on the same day.

The two drove by and glanced at the crowd a few more times. Suddenly, they spotted a familiar figure in the crowd: Zhao Tingting carrying a suitcase.

Because they were driving, the two men spotted Zhao Tingting, but Zhao Tingting didn't notice them.

The car didn't stop, and Director Wang clearly saw it too, but he didn't react at all. After a while, he suddenly spoke:
"It's a good thing she left!"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Lin Mo asked with interest. Director Wang shook his head and smiled, "Her reputation is terrible around here. Last time, that woman even made a scene at the police station, and I heard she even came to our school, but it was all covered up."

But secrets don't stay hidden forever. You know what she was like before. She had so many friends. If it were before, when she left, wouldn't a bunch of friends have come to see her off? If she were developing her career in Jiangning City, some friends would have followed her. But now, she's all alone.

Rather than being pointed at and gossiped about here, it's better to start over somewhere else.

It has to be said that after what happened with Zhao Tingting, Director Wang has become much more rational in his approach to relationships; at least he's no longer acting like a fool like before.

Lin Mo didn't comment on this. Things had already developed to this point, and if Director Wang still couldn't figure things out, then he deserved it.

Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at the family dormitory building near Jiangning Medical University.

Having learned from their previous two experiences, the two were quite adept at the task this time, each carrying a portion of fruit as they arrived.

This time, Director Wang was smarter; he went to Miss Yuan's house empty-handed yesterday, which embarrassed him quite a bit.

"Teacher, I'm here!"

"Hello, Professor Li!"

Upon seeing Professor Li open the door, the two greeted each other politely.

"Hey, come here, old woman, Xiao Lin and his classmate are here!"

Professor Li's face lit up with a wide smile when he saw it was Lin Mo, and he quickly greeted him.

Soon, Professor Mu also came out of the bedroom and greeted the two of them warmly.

"I thought you would come yesterday," Professor Mu said, taking out a tea set.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo naturally accepted the invitation and began preparing the tea, smiling as he said, "Something came up yesterday, which delayed me a bit, otherwise I would have liked to come this afternoon."

“Yes, Lao Mo went home with his girlfriend to meet her parents yesterday,” Wang Chu said somewhat awkwardly from the side.

In the past, it was always Chuanmei and the other two who came over, and Lin Mo would handle things in front of them while he and Chuanmei remained silent. It didn't seem abrupt when the two of them were together. But this time, Chuanmei didn't come, and it was just the two of them. If only Lin Mo spoke and he didn't say a word, it would be too obvious. So he just picked up the subject.

Upon hearing this, both Professor Mu and Professor Li widened their eyes.

"You've met the parents? That's great news! Are you planning to get married right after graduation?" Professor Li exclaimed with delight.

Upon hearing this, Professor Mu smiled and said, "That's indeed a good thing. Come on, tell me how you did yesterday. Do her parents like you?"

Seeing the two gossipy old men, Lin Mo rolled his eyes at Director Wang, saying, "Why are you so nosy?" He then gave a brief reply.

Professor Li was very dissatisfied with his answer and was about to ask further questions when Professor Mu interrupted him, saying, "Go, go, take Xiao Lin's friend to your study. Xiao Lin and I are going to chat!"

Helpless, Professor Li could only sigh and take Director Wang to the study to take his pulse.

"By the way, what did you bring when you visited yesterday?" Professor Mu asked as his wife entered.

Lin Mo waved his hand: "I didn't bring much, just bought a couple of things!"

"How can you be so casual about that? You child, if you don't understand, you can call me, your teacher. Putting aside everything else, at least in terms of etiquette, no one can find fault with you. Why didn't you call your family?" Professor Mu became a little anxious upon hearing this.

Lin Mo: "Huh? Do I need to tell my parents about this?"

"Why not? Hey, kid, tell your teacher what you brought?" Professor Mu rolled his eyes at him and asked.

Lin Mo then recounted everything he had bought the day before, and then noticed a strange look in the old lady's eyes: "You... you know quite a lot, huh? You've prepared so thoroughly!"

"Is it sufficient? She helped me choose it, so I just paid for it," Lin Mo said.

Upon hearing this, Professor Mu suddenly realized, "I was wondering why. So it was your partner who helped you with this. Oh, it's alright then. These things are the most standard visiting gift in Jiangning."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was taken aback at first, and then a strange look appeared in his eyes.
