Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 518 Alliance
"I'm not bragging, but these past few days we've been living a life of hardship, barely having enough to eat, and we've had to stay highly focused. A slight mistake could have resulted in a fatal accident."

The most crucial one was Lao Mo, a man of steel. In order not to implicate us, he persevered while Wang and I took turns chasing him in our cars. Then he personally went to their house and made sure all their properties lost power.

It's a good thing you two didn't go, otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to keep going!
According to Sister Yuan, the other party's losses are at least hundreds of millions, and they even face the risk of bankruptcy.
Everyone says Zhao Zilong was all courage, but I think Lao Mo is more like Zhao Zilong himself. He rode alone for a thousand miles, facing threats head-on, striking straight at the heart of the enemy. His opening remarks were top-notch taunts. When the opposing parents called to apologize and offered fifty million, Lao Mo didn't even blink. Truly a great man! He was unmoved by wealth or power!

At the [Mengya Media] studio, the Sichuan girl was vividly recounting their experiences over the past few days to the two women.

As we all know, when someone tells you, "I'm not kidding," it means they're about to start bragging.

Although most of what Chuanmei said was true, she still embellished it with her own artistic touch, making the stories of the past few days sound even more thrilling.

Even though he didn't see some details, he conjured up a magnificent heroic story in his mind based solely on guesswork.

Wang Chu, standing to the side, nodded from time to time, feeling obligated to support his brother.

"Yes, that's right, Chuanmei is right, Lao Mo is fine!" Director Wang shouted excitedly.

But the next second, the squad leader slapped him on the back of the head: "What are you yelling for? Eat! Aren't you hungry?!"

Faced with his girlfriend's urging, Director Wang smiled sheepishly and then began to boast about the stir-fried vegetables in front of him.

These past few days, since Chuanmei and Miss Yuan have been away, the two girls have started cooking for themselves. Fortunately, there is a kitchen in the studio. Of the two girls, the class monitor has some talent in cooking, and eating together saves money and is also healthier.

Although Wang's money is currently being managed by her, the class monitor has a longer-term vision. Chuanmei's studio is doing better and better, and as long as they, as veterans, are willing to work hard, they can also be promoted and receive a raise in the future. Even if Chuanmei is unwilling, Miss Yuan will not treat them unfairly. It can be said that their future is bright, and they are already much better off than their classmates.

The two of them can save money slowly and in less than two years, they will be able to buy their own house in Jiangning.

After all, their combined salaries are over ten thousand yuan, and their expenses are not much. Saving ten thousand yuan a month is not a problem, which would amount to over ten thousand yuan a year, even if their salaries don't increase.

Moreover, after graduation, Miss Yuan said she would provide the two of them with a master house, which would greatly reduce their financial burden. It was a perfect start, so she was full of enthusiasm.

Seeing that the squad leader and Director Wang had stopped talking, Chuanmei turned her gaze to He Xiaoyue, her meaning was clear: the squad leader, who was from Tianjin, was not going to play along, so she couldn't just leave her words hanging.

Fortunately, He Xiaoyue did not disappoint him and took over the conversation directly, sneering, "Alright, it's a good story, it could even be written into a script. But could you please use your brain when you're making up a story?"

"No, how could I not have used my brain? What I said is all true. If you don't believe me, ask Director Wang." Upon hearing this, Chuanmei became quite anxious. This was their real experience over the past few days.

Upon hearing this, He Xiaoyue waved her hand: "I can believe most of the stories you told, even the 50 million, but do you really believe the part about living in the open and not having enough to eat?"
Furthermore, you actually said that Lin Mo's method of causing the other party's power outage was to splash water on the other party's main power switch to cause a short circuit.

Please, do you think you're making a movie? Is his sister Wang returning?

You think splashing water will work? That's the factory's main power supply, not your home's 220V socket. Besides, even if there's a short circuit, wouldn't their electrician fix it?

Your plot is even more unsettling than tearing apart Japanese soldiers with bare hands or getting a headshot from 800 miles away. It's a pity; a decade or so ago, someone with your brain might have been able to make a living in the domestic screenwriting market, but now, if you don't become a self-media creator, you'll starve!

Sichuan girl:.
It must be said that He Xiaoyue's words were quite reasonable and well-founded. She was not intimidated by the man's boasting. As expected of someone who can be a strategist, her intelligence is indeed sufficient.

"See? I told you to eat quickly, and now you've been found out," said Wang Jing, the class monitor, to Wang Chu, who was standing next to her.

Director Wang: "Yeah, the squad leader is right. Here, have a piece of chicken!"

Squad leader: "You eat too!"

He Xiaoyue: ? ? ?

"Hey, hey, hey, you two are just talking, why are you showing off like this! Chuanmei, you're the manager, you need to quickly come up with some store rules, from now on, employees in this store are prohibited from showing affection in public."

Hearing this, Chuanmei nodded: "That's right, I think it's very necessary. Besides, you two can show off your love, but it feels like you're insulting someone. Also, Director Wang, we're all civilized people. When you talk about prostitutes, you don't have to go behind them, do you hear me? It's a good thing that Sister Yuan's cousin wasn't here, otherwise everyone would think our shop is involved in prostitution. If you keep doing this, I'll arrest you two sooner or later!"

Hearing this, Wang Chu's thick skin wasn't the problem; instead, it really embarrassed the squad leader, whose face turned several shades red.

Meanwhile, at the Liu family villa, as soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, the house fell into a deathly silence.

Both Yuan Guocheng and Liu Zhengyuan's intentions were simply to support Lin Mo, get some benefits, and eventually let the matter drop.

After all, in today's society, can someone really be killed? Since that's the case, it's better to accept the situation and call it a day. This way, they can give the middleman an explanation. Even if Lin Mo is young and hot-blooded and can't swallow his anger, and refuses to back down, they'll have an excuse to say they can't persuade him.

But neither of them ever considered offending the Qin and Huang families to the death. Even if they weren't close, they wouldn't do something that would be thankless.

If Lin Mo listens to their ideas and knows when to stop, the two will think that this child is young but has remarkable skills and knows when to advance and retreat. If Lin Mo cannot swallow his anger and acts impulsively, the two will not say anything, but they will look down on him a bit.

But to their utter surprise, Lin Mo didn't choose either option, which was unexpected. He wanted to completely annihilate the other party. Most importantly, Lin Mo even wanted to drag them both families into it, trying to forcibly tie them to his own side. This was quite interesting.

While admiring Lin Mo's decisive character, the two couldn't help but think more highly of him. After all, this wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea from Lin Mo; since he wanted to involve them, it was clear that he had some plans in mind.

“There will always be a time when power is restored to industrial sites after a power outage. Even if people have suffered significant losses during this period, they will not easily sell their assets, let alone at a low price,” Liu Zhengyuan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo did not sit down. Instead, he looked at the tea set on the coffee table and began to brew tea very seriously. His movements were smooth and graceful, a sight to behold.

He spoke softly and unhurriedly, his movements unhurried and his tone unhurried: "Power will definitely be restored, but when is hard to say. Today is the third day. What if it takes three months, six months, or a year?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present knew perfectly well that he was the one who had done it, but hearing this also shocked Liu Zhengyuan and Yuan Guocheng.

Both of them saw a certain confidence in Lin Mo, as if the power outage could last as long as he wanted, and the power could be restored whenever he wished.

Lin Mo then continued, "They might not sell at a low price in three or five days, but if it goes on for too long, they probably won't have an easy time either."

I don't know anything about doing business. Even the restaurant was opened for me by Sister Ruyan, let alone management and taxes.

But I know one thing: if such a large company suddenly stops production, there will definitely be penalties for breach of contract, and not a small amount. Also, although rich people have money, their cash flow is probably not much. I'm only 21, or 22 in the traditional Chinese way of counting age. After the New Year, I'll only be 23. I haven't graduated yet, so I have plenty of time to wait.

It's just a restaurant; at worst, we can just close it for now. I have enough money on hand.

Although Lin Mo spoke in a calm tone, he was very firm, as if stating a fact without any ripples. Unconsciously, he exuded an aura that ordinary people did not have. Even the two seasoned business veterans in front of him felt a sense of pressure.

"Uncle, would you like some tea?"

As he spoke, Lin Mo respectfully placed a cup of brewed tea in front of Liu Zhengyuan, and then handed a cup to Comrade Yuan and Ms. Jiang, thus breaking the somewhat heavy atmosphere.

Seeing this, Comrade Yuan quickly coughed twice and said with a smile, "Ahem, Lao Liu, what are you looking at? Xiao Lin is still standing. Quickly, let the child sit down!"

“Yes, yes, sit down and talk, don’t be shy,” Liu Zhengyuan said.

Seeing this, Lin Mo sat down on the sofa opposite him.

After taking a sip of tea, Comrade Yuan's face immediately showed a look of enjoyment: "It's all thanks to your skill, Xiao Lin, that this tea is excellent! But speaking of which, this is just a small conflict. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve a feud than to let it fester. The people over there asked someone to pass on a message to me and your Uncle Liu, hoping we could resolve this matter peacefully. Moreover, the compensation is quite substantial, showing great sincerity. I called you here today to ask what you think, but judging from your attitude, you clearly want to go all the way!"

"Uncle Yuan, look at what you're saying. At first, I did want to talk to Sister Ruyan to see how to solve the problem, but she sent my family's basic information, where my parents work, and my home address to my phone."

If there's no opportunity, so be it. But if there is, I will definitely make a decisive move. There's an old saying: "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze."

I don't want to cause trouble for them after they've calmed down because of this.

The reason they are acting this way now is not because they know they are wrong, but because they know their business is dying, and it may even bankrupt their family.

Yesterday on the phone, they quoted a price of fifty million, but believe it or not, if I agree, they'll pull some other tricks.

Lin Mo smiled, his tone relaxed, but the words he spoke carried an undeniable firmness.

If he could persuade the two companies to help him, things would naturally go more smoothly. After all, even if he wanted to eat such a big piece of cake, he wouldn't have the appetite for it. But if he had these two companies as allies, even if most of the benefits went to them, he would only need to take a bite to make a fortune.

If neither family wants to get involved, they can simply throw the cake away. If he can't eat it, no one else can either; let it rot!
"What if Lao Yuan doesn't plan to make this money? What are you going to do?" Liu Zhengyuan asked while sipping his tea.

Although he was referring to Comrade Yuan, everyone present was a smart man. There was no reason why Comrade Yuan should get a share of the wealth while the Liu family should not. Liu Zhengyuan was just saying this to follow up on his topic.

This time, however, Liu Zhengyuan's eyes no longer held the previous nonchalance, but instead showed a hint of seriousness.

These words also carried a hint of testing, to see how good the boyfriend her daughter had chosen was, and whether he could protect her in the future.

Lin Mo wasn't stupid; he understood what he meant. He then smiled and said, "If you and Uncle Yuan aren't interested in getting rich, I still have ten million in my hands. I'll talk to Sister Ruyan about it and ask her opinion. We can have a small treat together then."

I'm not greedy. You can't get fat in one bite, so I'll just take it one step at a time, tearing off a piece of meat first.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan and Yuan Guocheng, those two old foxes, exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter. Their attitudes changed from having a good impression to appreciating it, especially Liu Zhengyuan, who, although he didn't say it, was genuinely satisfied.

"Haha, good lad, you've got guts. But are you sure you won't get caught?" Yuan Guocheng laughed.

Lin Mo took a sip of tea, smiled without saying a word, but his expression said it all.
