Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 524 Qin Zhenhong's Arrival
On December 1st, after a month of hard work, everyone finally got the result they wanted, and everyone was very satisfied.

Chuanmei made a fortune, while Director Wang, class monitor He Xiaoyue, and the other two received their own wages, and not a small amount at that. For three college students still living in the school dormitory, this was a huge sum of money.

Because accommodation is free, and even meals are provided, they only need to spend a little on breakfast. Dinner is not fixed, but lunch is always provided. As long as you are in the studio, Chuanmei and Miss Yuan will either order takeout for you or take you out to eat together. At the very least, they can go out to buy some groceries and let the class monitor and the others cook for themselves. It can be said that the pressure of survival is greatly reduced.

The job is not tiring, the working hours are flexible, there is no need to be controlled by anyone, and there are no annoying superiors or irrational leaders. The salary is also quite good. Just as He Xiaoyue said, you can't spend it all, you simply can't spend it all. It's simply the perfect job.

As for Lin Mo and Miss Yuan, they were just joining in the fun. After all, one of them was never short of money, and the other was not short of a little money now. But they were still happy to see the people around them making money.

The saying "poverty breeds cunning, wealth breeds conscience" may not be entirely true, but it does hold some truth. At least Lin Mo was never jealous of Chuan Mei's wealth, just as his brothers weren't jealous of him when his restaurant made a fortune; at most, they were a little envious.

The current situation is that he is willing to do something for his brothers. When it comes to making money, of course, it's more fun to do it together.

As for Director Wang, Squad Leader He Xiaoyue, and the other two, although they didn't have the opportunity to make a lot of money, their income was still quite good.

After a week of digestion, Li Shiya's account officially surpassed five million followers. Although he has not posted any content or done any live broadcasts in the past few days, the video of him working with the Jiangning police to help families whose children were abducted successfully reunite has been circulating online and has remained highly popular.

Many bloggers even jumped on the bandwagon, trying to capitalize on this trend to increase their own popularity, and even several official accounts personally reported on it.

With two successful cases of finding relatives, Li Shiya's account has been completely defined by netizens as a positive role model.

Moreover, the last advertisement once again proved the commercial nature of this account, so the advertising fee threshold can be raised this month.

"Any new plans for this month? Have you decided on the direction for your next project?" Lin Mo asked after everyone had received their wages.

Upon hearing this, the Sichuan girl rolled her eyes at him: "Today is a good day, please don't spoil the fun."

As for my next project, I'll either wait for the progress from Sister Yuan and my cousin's department, or I'll let Xiaoyue see the popular videos on big data so she can imitate one. Also, I have plans to do a live stream soon, as many fans have been urging me to start one.

Furthermore, someone from the platform recently contacted me, saying that I might be invited by the platform's headquarters to attend their annual meeting at the end of the year, and I might even be able to win an award!

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was taken aback for a moment, but then he thought it made sense. After all, Chuanmei already had a considerable number of fans. Although she wasn't a top blogger, she was still a big internet celebrity, so it was reasonable for her to be invited by the platform to attend the annual meeting at the headquarters.

Moreover, what he has been doing recently is very much in line with the positive energy of bloggers, and the platform will not let go of his huge popularity.

"Not bad, you've even won an award now. Keep up the good work, we're counting on you to make a fortune," Lin Mo laughed.

Chuanmei didn't want to say anything to this. It would be understandable if Wang, the squad leader, and the other two were hoping to get rich, but Lin Mo's family earns tens of millions a year, so why would they need him?
Unless he can quickly transform into a live-streaming e-commerce influencer, he might not be able to earn more money than Lin Mo. After all, in recent years, top live-streaming e-commerce influencers have easily earned tens or hundreds of millions of yuan, and some can even earn tens of millions of yuan in a single night.

The most representative examples are Eyebrow Pencil Boy and the 13 billion that was once as famous as him, except that the latter was shut down due to tax evasion.

This also shows just how incredibly powerful the top influencers are at making money.

The group stayed in the studio until 11 a.m., when Chuanmei decided to take them to the shopping mall next door. The purpose was twofold: firstly, to purchase some items that everyone thought might be useful for the studio, and secondly, to give everyone some perks.

Now that I've made a fortune, I should let my friends share in the good fortune and everyone be happy together.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Lin Mo's phone suddenly rang. When he picked it up, he immediately narrowed his eyes.

"What's wrong, Lao Mo? Let's go?" Chuan Mei stood at the door, pretending to close it, and beckoned to him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo shook his phone and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid I can't go for the time being. It's a bit of a problem!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Then, Miss Yuan stepped forward, looked at the number on his phone screen, and asked uncertainly, "Is it someone surnamed Qin or Huang?"

After saying "Qin Tian," Lin Mo pressed the answer button and then turned on speakerphone.

Now that he has found a so-called ally, he is naturally not afraid of the other party.

"Hey, what brings you here, Young Master Qin?" Lin Mo chuckled, his tone light, sarcastic, and nonchalant, but not at all happy.

Soon, Qin Zhenhong's deep voice came through the phone: "Brother Lin, it's me. I think there's some misunderstanding between us, so I came all the way to your university. I hope you'll do me the honor of meeting me. What do you think?"

"It's Mr. Qin. As expected of a big boss, your information network is quite impressive. I just got back yesterday, and you're here today. But there's no need for a meeting, is there? I've already told you that your family's affairs have nothing to do with me, and there's no need for an apology. Anyway, I didn't take it to heart. What do you say?" Lin Mo said expressionlessly as he sat back down on the sofa.

As he spoke, he waved to the Sichuan girl, who immediately grabbed a bottle of water and handed it to him.

Qin Zhenhong did not intend to give up despite his rejection, or rather, the situation did not allow them to give up.

"Brother Lin, don't be so distant. We've come here with the sincerity to apologize. We're right here at the entrance of Chengyue Community. You know, we're already here, it shouldn't be too much trouble for you to just come downstairs!" Qin Zhenhong said in a deep voice.

That was a very skillful way of speaking, and the tone was very polite, but upon closer inspection, all you could hear in Chu's words was a sense of threat.

If I know when you'll return from out of town and can find your current address, then I certainly can't stop you from doing whatever I want.

It even seemed to subtly flaunt her own power to him.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes immediately turned cold: "Are you threatening me?" "No, no, no, I didn't mean that, Brother Lin, please don't misunderstand, I just want to meet you," Qin Zhenhong said in a deep voice.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Chengyue Residential Complex, Qin Zhenhong and his son, as well as Huang Dayong and his son, were both present.

After investigating, they also found out where Lin Mo lived in Jiangning, and that's why they came looking for him today.

His words were quite clever; he didn't explicitly say anything threatening, but he also conveyed his hidden meaning. They could either wait for him at the entrance of the community or go upstairs to knock on his door.

At this moment, Qin Zhenhong and the others were looking at the environment inside the community, and they were also curious about how Lin Mo would answer.

After a long silence, Lin Mo gave Director Wang a look, and then Director Wang ran out to check the situation at the entrance of the residential area.

Lin Mo then said, "Alright, let's meet at my restaurant in two hours. Just ask your son for the address; I don't usually meet people at the entrance of residential areas."

Since the other party has shown such a persistent attitude that they won't give up until they meet, it's not that he can't meet them, but he needs to keep the initiative in his own hands, otherwise the other party might not know where to arrange a meeting.

Moreover, delaying the process by two hours would not only be a short time, but would also give me some time to prepare, and allow me to avoid Qin Zhenhong, who currently has a slight advantage.

Indeed, Lin Mo suffered a slight loss in this phone conversation. His residence was thoroughly investigated, and even those around him were affected. Therefore, he chose his own hotel as the location for the next confrontation.

Although we don't know what methods the other side has prepared, we're better off not doing anything than doing something that might happen. This way, we can disrupt their plans a bit. Even if it doesn't work, we should at least make them feel bad.

I can't just get off whenever you tell me to, that would be so embarrassing.
"Alright, then it'll be two hours from now at your restaurant. See you then!" Qin Zhenhong said with a smile.

The two hung up the phone immediately. Lin Mo, looking quite annoyed, said, "Looks like we won't be able to go shopping today. You two go ahead!"

"Hey~ Mozi, don't panic. Sister Yuan will go with you in a bit and meet them!" Miss Yuan said with a wave of her hand.

It must be said that Miss Yuan is quite a character; she's truly capable when it comes to matters.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded. Anyway, he had already said that Miss Yuan should go and attack head-on, so this was the opportunity.

"Wang and I will go with you in a bit. You two stay home and watch the house," Chuanmei said.

Upon hearing this, He Xiaoyue said with some dissatisfaction, "Hey, what do you mean? We're a team, how can we be left out of this kind of thing? Haven't you heard that women hold up half the sky?"

"That's not what I meant. You all know about Lao Mo's restaurant. There's no point in having so many of us go there. Besides, if something unexpected happens, Wang and I are men, aren't we?" Chuan Mei explained, clearly not stupid and prepared for the worst.

Lin Mo nodded in agreement: "What Chuanmei said makes sense. Perfect timing, you two can take this time to go shopping and see what the studio needs and buy it. Chuanmei will approve the funding for you!"

“That’s right, let’s split up,” Chuanmei quickly said.

After the two of them took turns persuading her, they finally managed to convince the two female students who were class monitors to go back.

Just then, Director Wang came running back, panting heavily.

"How is it?" Lin Mo asked.

Director Wang nodded: "There are two cars parked at the entrance of the residential area, and four people standing at the entrance, dressed to the nines!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo took a deep breath. Sure enough, one cannot underestimate anyone. In the eyes of some capable people, his information, itinerary, and residence are practically transparent, which made him more wary.

He definitely made the right move by finding two powerful allies.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately dialed the number of his future father-in-law, Liu Zhengyuan, without saying a word.

"Uncle, it's me. A guy surnamed Qin called me and asked to meet me. Now he's blocking the entrance to my apartment complex."

My friends are all here, so I arranged to meet him at my restaurant in two hours. What do you think I should do about this?

There was nothing to be embarrassed about. It wasn't because the other party was Liu Ruyan's father, but because they were business partners. When faced with such trouble, it was only natural for him to trouble the other party; it was the other party's responsibility.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan, inside the Liu family villa, immediately sat up straight on the sofa and said in a deep voice, "You did well, you even knew to call me. Let me think about it. Just go to the meeting as usual. Remember one thing, this matter has nothing to do with you. I didn't do it, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense. The rest is up to you. You don't need to worry about what happens afterward, just do as you please!"

"Okay, I understand, Uncle!"

After the two hung up the phone, Liu Zhengyuan sneered and then dialed another number, which was quickly answered.

"Hey, Lao Yuan, that guy surnamed Qin has contacted Xiao Lin. He'll meet me at the restaurant in two hours. Make the arrangements so Xiao Lin doesn't suffer any losses!" Liu Zhengyuan said calmly.

Soon, Old Yuan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, leave it to me. I guarantee they can't do anything openly."
