Chapter 476 What's the difference between that and pooping on the playground?
In the waiting area, Liu Ruyan leaned on Lin Mo's shoulder, holding a thermos Lin Mo had prepared for her, filled with ginger and brown sugar water. She took small sips from time to time, and her face became rosy.

It could be said that this period was the most relaxing one she had had in recent months. Although the pressure at work remained, Liu Ruyan felt like she had found someone to rely on.

Even though Lin Mo couldn't help her at all with her work, it seemed that as long as he was there, she could feel much more at ease.

As for the secretary, Xiaotian, she was propping her chin up in the seat behind the two of them, staring straight at them.

Since things had already come to this, Liu Ruyan simply decided not to hide it from anyone. Besides, Xiao Tian was her secretary and assistant, and had almost no friends in the company, so naturally she wouldn't gossip.

Most of her friends are acquaintances in her life, so even if she told them, it wouldn't have any impact on the two of them.

At most, at some private dinner table, Secretary Xiaotian might chat with her girlfriends about gossip such as "The domineering female CEO fell in love with a junior employee" or "The rich older sister won over a college boy," which was completely harmless.

In Xiaotian's eyes, the love story between her boss and Lin Mo, though she didn't know the details, was enough for her to imagine a whole romance novel in her mind. It was much more exciting than the dating reality shows she usually watched. It was all sweetness and no scheming or backstabbing like in those shows. It was a real gem.

"While I'm away, you should stay home and make money when you need to, and rest when you need to. If you want anything, just tell your sister. She has a way to make money that isn't risky but has a lot of potential profit."

"Making you the richest man in Jiangning is impossible, but supporting a male college student is more than enough. You'll have a house, a car, money, and a girl!"

Liu Ruyan tightened the lid of the thermos, tilted her head back and looked at her little man with a half-smile. Her peach blossom eyes seemed to speak volumes, full of the charm of a mature woman.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo knew that the true nature of the Great Emperor Ruyan was being revealed again. She claimed there was a path for her, low risk but high profit. Bullshit! What risk could there be? At most, it would only result in someone's death.

However, if someone were to die, the profits for him would indeed be enormous. Putting aside everything else, Liu Ruyan's dowry alone would be enough to increase his current net worth many, many times over.

"Go to hell! Do you think I need your support? I have hands and feet, I can make money at the restaurant, I don't have any employees to support, and I don't have many expenses. I live a very carefree life."

"But you've reminded me. Now that I have money and free time, I should cultivate a hobby, otherwise life will be too boring. What do you think about going to a bar and clubbing?" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Although he didn't earn as much as Liu Ruyan, let alone a big boss like Liu Zhengyuan, he didn't have as many burdens, and he had no expenses.

Unlike Liu Zhengyuan or Comrade Yuan, whose tens of thousands of people depend on him for their livelihood and who face huge expenses every day.

Especially in the past two years, with the economic downturn, the company has needed to make adjustments from time to time. Although we have made a lot of money, the pressure on us is also very high. The company's cash flow and partners all require the boss to make decisions.

Compared to this kind of life, Lin Mo would rather maintain the status quo, where he has no worries about food and drink, is financially well-off, doesn't have much pressure, and even has time to enjoy life. This is what he pursues.

Although he likes money and is a money-grubber, the real reason he likes money is that he wants to live a life of leisure. After all, living a life of leisure without money is not enjoyment, but just being alive.

"You dare! If you dare go to a nightclub, I'll send you to the 'washroom' as soon as I get back, you believe me? While I'm not home, you'd better behave yourself. If I come back and find you haven't finished your homework, hmph!"

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan reached inside his shirt and pinched him hard, her face showing a threatening expression.

"Is that so? Okay then, I think I'm earning quite a bit now, so maybe I can keep two female college students as mistresses or something?" Lin Mo said provocatively, pressing his hand down.

Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm some kind of man who can be bullied by you?

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's reaction was quite different from what he had expected. With a look of disdain on her face, she said, "Tch, your bank cards are all in my account now. I know every penny you've spent. And you're still keeping a mistress? Go wash up and go to sleep. If you keep thinking about those things, I'll unbind your bank cards!"

Lin Mo:
He almost forgot that his bank card no longer belonged to him. It was probably because Liu Ruyan not only didn't restrict his spending but even gave him money that he forgot about it.

Just then, an announcement came over the loudspeaker in the airport, instructing passengers of this flight to proceed to the ticket check-in area.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan stood up: "Alright, I have to go now. Drive carefully on your way back!"

“Okay, send me a message when you get there,” Lin Mo nodded.

Liu Ruyan hummed in agreement, then looked at her secretary Xiaotian beside her. The two of them headed straight for the boarding gate, and Lin Mo followed. Only after the two disappeared from the gate did he sigh, feeling somewhat empty as he left the airport and drove back home.

It was already afternoon when Lin Mo drove back. In the studio, Miss Yuan and the other two were having lunch as usual.

"Mo Zai, you're just in time! Let's have dinner together? Hey? You look a little unhappy. Liu Ruyan is gone," Miss Yuan asked.

Lin Mo:
"Yes, I just got back from the airport!"

Hearing this, Miss Yuan patted his shoulder and said meaningfully, "You should be even happier about this, right? Don't you men love it when your wives go back to their parents' home so you can be free and do whatever you want?"

"Who said that? Is that even possible?" Lin Mo retorted, somewhat disbelieving.

In response, Miss Yuan continued, "Look, you're still too young. Isn't this common knowledge? Anyway, my dad is always quite happy whenever my mom goes to stay at my maternal grandma's house."

"Exactly, isn't it better not having a girlfriend at home to keep you in check? Drinking, eating, playing mahjong, fishing, going to bathhouses, having barbecues—isn't that all the simple pleasures men have? The most important thing is that you don't have to work so hard that you get back pain and have to lean against the wall to get out," He Xiaoyue, now a self-proclaimed know-it-all, chimed in from the side.

Lin Mo:
Well, logically speaking, he should be happy that Liu Ruyan is away on a business trip for a while. But he's not some middle-aged man who can't handle his wife. What's the point of leaning on the wall? Does he really think my Pure Yang Body is just a hollow title? Does he even understand the true value of the Yang-Supporting Stance?
"Alright, eat and drink as you please. Liu Ruyan is gone, but I'm still here, Sister Yuan. If you're really feeling down, I'll treat you to dinner today at Qingshui Watai. I'll give you technician number 8," Miss Yuan said with a smile.

Lin Mo waved his hand upon hearing this: "There's no need for that. You can keep that technician for yourself. I'm not destined for that."

"Tch, you're spineless. I can tell you'll be henpecked in the future. Liu Ruyan is gone, what are you afraid of? Why are you afraid of her? Find a chance to fight her!" Miss Yuan used reverse psychology.

Lin Mo remained unmoved. He was no longer the naive newbie he once was. Now he had seen it all and had no interest in the technicians whatsoever.

Finally, the class monitor spoke up: "Lin Mo, don't listen to Xiao Yue and Sister Yuan. Talk it over properly. Maybe when you get married, we can come and give gifts and eat at your wedding banquet."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely let you know when that day comes, hehe!" Lin Mo laughed.

Now that Director Wang and Chuanmei are not around, and Liu Ruyan is also away on a business trip, there are almost half of the people around. It feels a bit lonely when the few of them are together.

However, with Miss Yuan present, the lunch was at least quite sumptuous.

"Sister Yuan, why didn't I see you chatting with your brother's blind date today?" Lin Mo asked curiously after taking a bite of roasted lamb chop.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan calmly took out a glass shaped like Xiang Yu's, poured in iced black tea with shaved ice, and took a sip. The coolness went straight to her head, and she immediately perked up and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? That's a hot potato. I finally managed to get Xiaoyue to help me coax it yesterday, how could I possibly get involved again?"

I told my mom about the situation last night and asked her and my brother to figure out a solution themselves.

If I do this well, I get no credit; if I do it poorly, I take all the blame. I don't care.

Come on, my dear brother, try this seven-yuan Guojiao liquor from Sister Yuan. Paired with my special cup, it's just different. You should spend more time in high society; four-yuan liquor is no longer presentable."

Looking at the large tub of iced tea next to Miss Yuan, Lin Mo's lips twitched involuntarily. He had only mentioned iced tea yesterday, and Miss Yuan had already arranged it today. She certainly had super strong execution ability.

"Sister Yuan, your cup is nice, but the four-yuan iced tea is the best value for money. Besides, your hand was trembling slightly just now, which betrayed your nervousness. You don't usually spend so extravagantly!" Lin Mo sneered.

Just kidding. He might not have much to say about other drinks, but when it comes to iced tea, he's sure Miss Yuan has never drunk as much as he has.

He could tell at a glance whether it was Guojiao or not. The iced tea in front of him looked like Guojiao and even had shaved ice in it, but given the current weather, it was really unnecessary.

If this had been two months ago, it would have been absolutely top-notch; now, it's at best considered above average.

"You're talking nonsense! Mine is absolutely the best of the best!" Miss Yuan was furious upon hearing this, and she leaned over with both hands on the table.

Seeing this, Lin Mo leaned back tactically, grabbed the large bottle of iced tea, poured himself a glass, and then happily ate a lamb chop and a sip of Guojiao liquor.

At this moment, He Xiaoyue finally spoke up: "Yesterday I already helped Sister Yuan calm that girl down. As long as her brother doesn't ignore her, it will be easy to get her to go out for a meal."

But I don't know how far things will develop from here, and I always feel that the other side isn't fighting alone; if nothing unexpected happens, there should be some kind of strategist alliance behind them.

He Xiaoyue and the class monitor didn't care that Lin Mo and the other two were arguing about whether a bottle of iced tea was authentic. After all, it was perfectly normal for them to have a moment of irrationality now and then.

That's precisely why Miss Yuan was able to integrate so quickly.

"Oh? So, Sister Yuan, your brother is doomed?" Lin Mo said with a smile.

This has even made it onto the TV show "The Advisors Alliance," so someone must be giving them advice behind the scenes!

Although we don't know who the girl who was on a blind date with Miss Yuan's brother is, or what her family situation is, just thinking about it tells us that she can't be too bad.

And the other party will undoubtedly know about Yuan Hua's family background. Unless the girl is out of her mind, she won't let it go, unless the two families are of similar means, or the girl's family is even better off than Miss Yuan's. As for love? Forget it. Sometimes, compatibility is more important than feelings.

"I don't care if he lives or dies. Even if he gets married tomorrow, I don't care. It's just another sister-in-law."

"Of course, it would be nice if he could give me a little nephew to play with," Miss Yuan said nonchalantly.

Squad leader Wang Jing sighed, "I'm not afraid of her having a strategist alliance behind her, I'm afraid of her having no one behind her, that's what's scary!"

The strategist alliance proves that the girl is relatively naive. She wants to advance the relationship but doesn't know how to do it. However, if she were to know so much on her own, her intentions would be too obvious.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan retorted, "And you're talking about others? How's your preparation for Director Wang's birthday going? Do you want me to help you set up a venue, put up roses and candles on your university's sports field, and let you make a heartfelt confession?"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"Huh? What's the difference between that and pooping on the playground?"

Three people:
