Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 513 Telephone
"I have a chicken in my left hand, a duck in my right, and a chubby baby in my arms, ee-ya-ee-de-wei~"

On the way back to the city, Miss Yuan had a chicken leg in her left hand and a goose leg in her right, with a goose egg tucked into her arms. She was in a wonderful mood, and it was clear that she had thoroughly enjoyed her dinner.

"Sister Yuan, that's a goose. We didn't eat duck today," Director Wang, sitting in the back seat, explained.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan's face instantly darkened: "No one will think you're mute if you don't speak, but so what if I say it's a duck? Call it a goose and see if it responds?"

Wang Chu:
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo and Chuan Mei both rolled their eyes at Director Wang. "Tell me, why did you provoke her? This afternoon, Miss Yuan was upset on the mountain. After returning, she turned her grief and anger into appetite and ate a lot, which scared her uncle and aunt. They were afraid that she would eat so much that she would die here."

Lin Mo also made a special explanation, saying that this person was just born with a big appetite, it was nothing to worry about, and that they shouldn't be afraid, it wasn't that he didn't want to live and wanted to stuff himself to death.

Before leaving, the eldest uncle's family packed up some of the remaining dishes for Miss Yuan, and also gave her a bag of apples and pears, as well as a square white wine jug of well water. Before leaving, Miss Yuan also went to the goose nest and took out a goose egg, intending to go back and incubate the goslings herself.

The anger had been contained, but then Director Wang dared to provoke them again, so he deserved to be scolded.

Just then, Lin Mo's phone rang. He took it out, glanced at it, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "Coming!" he said.

"What's here?" Miss Yuan asked.

Lin Mo didn't speak, but answered the call directly, turned on the speakerphone, placed the phone on the phone holder in the car, and said with a smile, "Hello, who is this?"

The phone number belonged to Qin Tian, ​​which he certainly recognized; he said it on purpose.

"Lin Mo, it's me!"

The voice Qin Tian spoke on the other end of the phone this time lacked the arrogant tone he had displayed the previous two times.

But Lin Mo acted out of character at this moment, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, Young Master Qin, what brings you here to see a commoner like me?"

After all, your time is extremely valuable, worth millions every minute. You even bothered to call someone as insignificant as me, wasting your time making money!

Having suffered some humiliation recently, now is the time to get revenge, and of course he won't hold back.

If you don't taunt when you're winning, then you've wasted your winning streak, haven't you?
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm asking you, did you cause the power outage at my property?" Qin Tian said bluntly.

Meanwhile, in a teahouse on the other side, Qin Tian and his son, as well as Huang Hao and his son, were all there, each staring at the other's phone.

And unsurprisingly, the phone was set to record audio. Lin Mo had used this trick the first time, but it had failed. Now that the other party was using it, he was naturally on guard.

"Young Master Qin, what are you saying? I don't understand at all. What does your power outage have to do with me? If the power is out, call an electrician. If that doesn't work, touch the circuit breaker. You can tell whether there's power or not just by touching it, right?" Lin Mo said with a smile.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to admit it. Even if it were face-to-face, let alone over the phone, or even if acquaintances like Miss Yuan asked him, he wouldn't admit that this matter had nothing to do with him.

At worst, you can go find evidence, and if you have evidence, just go to the police!
Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan and the other two fell silent instantly. Especially when they saw Lin Mo driving the car, with that sinister expression on his face, the three of them looked as if they had seen a ghost.

You know, Lin Mo used to give people the impression of being a sunny and cheerful big boy. Although he was sometimes a bit abstract, he was completely different from the way he was now, who seemed to want to kill people.

Although Lin Mo denied that he did it, his tone clearly told the other party, "I did it, so what?"

The comment, especially the claim that he makes millions every minute, implying that he's probably losing money much faster, was a blatant sarcasm.

"you"

Faced with such mockery, Qin Tian was furious and was about to threaten back, but his father, Qin Zhenhong, held him down the next second. Then, a deep voice came from Lin Mo's phone:

"Lin Mo, right, Brother Lin?" Lin Mo was taken aback for a moment, then casually replied, "Who are you?"

"I am Qin Tian's father, my name is Qin Zhenhong. I have heard about what happened between you. It is true that my son made a mistake. As a father, I have not educated my son well and have caused you trouble. I apologize to Brother Lin and hope that we can turn hostility into friendship."

Furthermore, to express my apology, I will give Mr. Lin ten million as a token of my remorse, hoping that he will be lenient.

"If it's convenient for you, Brother Lin, I'll host a dinner at the Bolin Hotel tomorrow, and bring my son to personally apologize to you. What do you think?" Qin Zhenhong said in a deep voice.

Although he was extremely anxious at this moment, his composure, honed through years of business experience, still allowed him to remain calm in this situation.

To help his family business overcome its difficulties, it's understandable to admit his mistakes and lower his stance, since he can't afford the consequences.

Although he had read Lin Mo's information and found that he was just an ordinary person, when he thought about what had happened to his family recently, he was not confident himself, so how could he dare to underestimate the other party?

"Mr. Qin, you flatter me. But you've really come to the wrong person. I'll say it again: if there's a power outage, go find an electrician, or if that doesn't work, go to the power company. I'm not a generator, I can't generate electricity," Lin Mo sneered.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenhong frowned, not out of anger. After all, apologizing and backing down to someone is like swallowing a needle, and it's only right to suffer some grievances.

What upset him was that Lin Mo refused to admit that the matter had anything to do with him. This meant that not only was he powerless against the other party, but the other party was also unwilling to reconcile, and didn't even want to give him a chance to reconcile. It was clear that they were trying to crush his family.

"Brother Lin, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. If ten million isn't enough, then twenty million, fifty million, or just name your price. As long as I can come up with the money, I'll have no problem with it."

"Or you can name any conditions you have. If I can do it, I will definitely do it," Qin Zhenhong said.

This is how a shrewd boss should act: apologize first, then offer tangible benefits when asking for favors. Otherwise, wouldn't that show no sincerity at all?

But this is a trap. If Lin Mo agrees, it will prove that he is involved in this matter, and then they can start other methods.

However, they were wrong about one thing: Lin Mo had no intention of reconciliation, let alone accepting apologies and compensation, so naturally he would not agree.

"I'll say it again, Mr. Qin: I don't generate electricity. Besides, my shop is currently closed for rectification, so I'm unemployed right now."

"Ten or twenty million is a lot, but I can earn it back in a year. Fifty million is just two and a half years' worth of my restaurant's revenue. If I need money, I can earn it myself. I can't do something like getting something for nothing." Lin Mo chuckled, his tone very casual.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenhong quickly said, "Brother Lin, this is a family matter. I've already had someone take care of it, and your shop can open for business anytime."

We're currently at your university, and it's hard to explain over the phone. Would it be alright if we met up sometime?

"Oh? Our school? That's unfortunate. I'm not in Jiangning right now. Let's talk about it when I get back. Okay, I have something to do, I'll hang up now!"

After saying that, Lin Mo didn't give the other person a chance to continue speaking and hung up the phone directly. Instantly, he felt completely refreshed.

All the frustration and exhaustion of the past few days have transformed into a feeling of comfort, like taking a sip of iced tea with icy bits on a hot summer day—a refreshing sensation from head to toe.

"Mo Zai, what's going on? Did the other side back down? What power outage? And also, your expression just now was so arrogant, a bit like a villain in a movie, so classy!" Miss Yuan gave a thumbs up and laughed.

Lin Mo shrugged and said, "I don't know either, they just suddenly came over to apologize."

Miss Yuan was taken aback, then pointed her finger and said, "You're pretending to be your mother!"
