Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 522 Where Did My Salary Go?
In just one afternoon, Liu Zhengyuan and Yuan Guocheng, those two old foxes, did quite a bit.

Besides using their connections and secretly diverting cash, the two also secretly plotted to divide the Qin and Huang families' businesses that had lost power.

This is a huge pie, even for both of them.

How much you eat isn't the most important thing; the most important thing is how much you can eat safely. Although Lin Mo is young and lacks resources, he is the most crucial link in this chain.

Although he said that the division of the profits should be discussed between the two families, neither of them would feel at ease if Lin Mo didn't take any, because the benefits were too great, so great that both families were somewhat uneasy.

At this point, what they need to do is eliminate all unsettling factors.

There's a saying, "If you don't take it and I don't take it, how can Commissioner Geng take it?"
It's the same now. If Lin Mo doesn't take anything, even if the two families divide it up, they won't feel at ease.

Instead of that, why not leave Lin Mo his share? It doesn't have to be much, but it absolutely can't be none. Otherwise, they might have to deal with a power outage one day.

As long as Lin Mo takes it, they'll be in the same boat, sharing the same fate!

After all, Lin Mo and Miss Yuan were just friends, and he and his daughter Liu Ruyan were just boyfriend and girlfriend. In today's society, it's common for friends to turn against each other and never speak to each other again, and it's even more common for couples to break up. Even married couples sometimes get divorced.

These personal relationships are not enough to put them at ease; the only solution is to align their interests.

It's obvious that Lin Mo isn't stupid, but those two old guys, Liu Zhengyuan and Yuan Guocheng, are even more formidable. In fact, if Lin Mo didn't have the shopping page, he wouldn't even have the chance to arm wrestle with them; even meeting them would be a luxury.

Meanwhile, both Qin Zhenhong and Huang Dayong's families received replies from the middleman, and the replies were consistent: they knew nothing about it, denied that they were responsible, and said that their power outage was an accident. They also said that if needed, they could provide them with better electricians.

They also said that Lin Mo was indeed their junior, and the conflict could end there, but they couldn't help with the power outage.

The reply was watertight, neither admitting any involvement nor offering an excuse, and not requiring any apology or compensation from the other party. However, the power outage issue was something the individual had to resolve themselves.

Upon hearing this news, both Qin Zhenhong and Huang Dayong looked extremely distressed.

Although the other party said to let the matter drop, the problems between the two families were not resolved.

"Dad, what should we do? They still won't admit it. Who else could it be but them! They're going to completely break ties with our family!" Qin Tian said, extremely agitated after hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenhong suddenly spoke up: "Shut up! Do you think I don't know that this matter is inextricably linked to the Yuan and Liu families?"
But what good are words now? We're the ones asking for favors, so what? You expect them to boss us around?

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Qin Tian was speechless at this point.

In response, Qin Zhenhong took a deep breath and slowly said, "I received news today that the kid surnamed Lin returned to Jiangning today, and I also found out his address."

The one who tied the knot must untie it; the key lies with him. Tomorrow, let's get Old Huang and his family together and go see this guy! Let's try to resolve this peacefully, even if it comes at a price!

"What if that guy surnamed Lin doesn't appreciate our kindness? We can be humble and subservient, but what if he doesn't appreciate it?" Qin Tian asked.

Hearing this, Qin Zhenhong narrowed his eyes: "If that's the case, then we'll have to really fight it out. I, Qin Zhenhong, have been in Jiangning for so many years, and I'm not just doing this for nothing. If the formal channels can't solve it, and I'm pushed too far, I'm not incapable of doing something else!"

“Okay, I’ll go contact Haozi right away!” Qin Tian said quickly.

Nothing happened that night. The next day was Saturday, December 1st.

Before we knew it, another month had passed, and the weather was getting colder and colder.

After several nights of rest, Lin Mo had recovered considerably, at least his biological clock had returned to normal. He got up early, changed his clothes, went downstairs, and headed straight to the playground to begin his morning exercise. After running for half an hour, Lin Mo felt a warm current flowing through his body.

Lin·179.7·Mo has officially launched, bringing him one step closer to his goal of 180. It has to be said that the quality of the items refreshed on the shopping page recently has been quite good.

Although no new skills have been introduced, there are still quite a few good items.

A half-hour run resulted in a permanent increase in height, but the shopping page is rather stingy.

Back when he didn't have a girlfriend, Latin dance was already all the rage. Now that he has a girlfriend, you better come out here! I really need Latin dance, no, Liu Ruyan really needs it.

Fortunately, his pure yang body is not bad either, and he can still suppress Liu Ruyan. He is extremely strong.

After a half-hour warm-up run, he practiced the butterfly step. His proficiency in basic combat made his punches and footwork very methodical. After twenty minutes, his whole body was warmed up. Finally, he finished with a ten-minute Yang-strengthening stance, which made him feel a warm sensation in his lower abdomen, making his kidney energy even stronger.

After finishing his morning exercise, Lin Mo ate breakfast at the nearby canteen. He had a big appetite after exercising, and when he was halfway through his meal, he happened to run into Director Wang and the squad leader walking in hand in hand.

"Hey? You two got up so early today?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

It's important to know that although today is the first day of the month, it's also Saturday, so in principle, we can rest today.

Since everyone is a friend or classmate, Chuanmei doesn't have any rules about when she has to go to work. Although she has weekends off, as long as she can finish her work, nothing else matters. She can even work in the dormitory if she doesn't come to work.

"Yeah, the air is so fresh this morning. Did you just finish your morning exercise?" The class monitor couldn't help but ask, looking at his sportswear.

As acquaintances, they all knew that Lin Mo had a habit of exercising in the morning, but they rarely saw him. After all, they were all young people, and getting up early was a real ordeal for them.

"Yeah, just finished. You two look so smart today, are you going on a date?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.

He was quite happy to see his good friends' relationship progressing so quickly, especially with Director Wang; with his personality, the class monitor was a perfect match for him.

"Well, I guess so. He's been gone for several days, and today happens to be Saturday, so we thought we'd go out for a stroll. It's getting cold, so we thought we'd get him a couple of new clothes," the class monitor said.

Hearing this, Director Wang asked in confusion, "Didn't you say that you were so excited about getting paid for the first time today that you couldn't sleep, and that's why you asked me to go to the studio with you early?"

Class monitor:
Go get your food!

As he spoke, he slapped Director Wang on the back. Director Wang could only sheepishly go get his food, while the squad leader smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

“Yeah, it’s been a month already. It’s time for Chuanmei to get paid. Let’s go together in a bit. I get a cut too, you know!” Lin Mo said with a smile.

Although they had received a salary during their previous internships, this time it was clearly different. He didn't even mention 5000 yuan, but it was still a large sum of money for the class monitor and He Xiaoyue.

Soon, the three of them finished eating and went straight to the studio. Lin Mo called Chuanmei and told him to come down quickly, as everyone was waiting for him to pay their wages.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Miss Yuan and He Xiaoyue arrived at the studio together, but their states were completely different.

Miss Yuan yawned as she entered and immediately collapsed onto the sofa, clearly still half asleep.

Instead, He Xiaoyue skipped in, singing a traditional opera tune: "Where has my salary gone? I've been drinking with Li Lang at Li Garden, but who knew my salary would be 5000 yuan? 5,000 yuan, I can't spend it all! I can buy a cell phone, and I'll still have 2,000 left!"

Everyone:.
