Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 531 Wild Ginseng as a Gift
I have to say, communicating with Director Wang in code is fucking exhausting, it's like talking to a brick wall.

This guy is so straightforward, he eats a lot and poops a lot, and his thought process is just as straightforward. The best place for this kind of person is actually to go back to farming, since he doesn't have to deal with people. Of course, the premise is that the family has enough land to farm.

The fact that he could think of something that cost too much proves that he has some intelligence, but not much. Whether he can live a good life depends entirely on the favor of the goddess Mazu. But judging from how well he threw the Holy Grail, his future shouldn't be too bad. At least he's not the kind of person who has to worry about things.

Before getting married, I troubled the goddess Mazu; after getting married, I troubled my wife. In short, I guess it's a case of fools having good fortune!
Back at his place, Lin Mo sat on the sofa in a daze. A lot had happened recently. Although it seemed like a series of small things, he hadn't had a moment of peace. Today, he could finally catch his breath.

Relaxation isn't just about physical rest; it can also be about mental relaxation. It's about not wanting to do anything or think about anything, just sitting quietly on the sofa and spacing out.

Sunlight streamed through the window, bringing him warmth.

Whether it was because the heating had started and the temperature was rising, or because the living room temperature was rising as the sun got higher, the warm sunlight made Lin Mo drowsy, and he actually took a nap on the sofa, which was quite rare for him.

When Lin Mo opened his eyes again, he was startled awake by a series of urgent knocks on the door. He picked up his phone and saw that it was already eleven o'clock, which made him a little uneasy.

"I'm probably just too tired," Lin Mo said as he got up and rubbed his face to try and wake himself up.

But I must say, this nap was really comfortable; it made him feel much better.

"I'm coming"

Lin Mo didn't ask who it was, and went straight to open the door. There was no other reason why anyone could come here except for the few guys around him.

Sure enough, as soon as the living room door opened, Miss Yuan and Chuanmei were standing in the doorway.

The two of them were wearing much thicker clothes today, and Miss Yuan even wore a fluffy knitted hat.

"Old Mo, is your heating on yet?"

As soon as the door opened, the Sichuan girl walked in and asked.

Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded and pointed to the kitchen, saying, "It's been supplied; the hot water pipes in the kitchen are all warm!"

"Hey? Why is it so cold here? It feels even colder than mine. Is there something unclean here?" The Sichuan girl asked as soon as she came in and felt around.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him: "I didn't even turn on the air conditioner, of course it's cold. Besides, do you think the boiler is burning downstairs? It's heating today, so it's warm today?"

"Actually, the heating was turned on yesterday, you just didn't notice," the Sichuan girl muttered softly upon hearing this.

Lin Mo:
"Hey, Mozi's place is bigger, so the heating is definitely slower than yours. That's normal. I can tell you're not very good at math," Miss Yuan said from the side.

Hearing this, Lin Mo turned to look at Miss Yuan and asked, "Sister Yuan, speaking of which, why didn't I see you when I came out of the police station yesterday?"

"Oh, this... my cousins ​​said you might be detained for 12 hours, but who would have thought you'd be released after only four hours?" Miss Yuan said guiltily.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo glanced at her and continued, "So that's your reason for not waiting for me and going back first?"

"Of course not!" Miss Yuan hurriedly replied.

Lin Mo: "So?"

"I'm hungry, I'm going to eat!" Miss Yuan said matter-of-factly.

Lin Mo:
Thinking about it carefully, it's understandable. After all, he only ate some food in the morning yesterday and didn't have time to eat lunch before going to the restaurant. Given Miss Yuan's schedule, she didn't even have breakfast. It must have been difficult for her to keep it up for so long.

For Miss Yuan, loyalty is the priority, no problem, but first you have to let me eat my fill. How can I attack her face like that if I don't fill my stomach?
"By the way, Mozi, how were you yesterday? Are you alright?" Miss Yuan asked.

Lin Mo shook his head: "With Brother Jiang and Sister Yun there, I was just taken over for questioning, nothing else. What about Sister Yuan?"

"It's nothing. My dad asked me to go to my grandma's house today and to take you with me. I thought something had happened," Miss Yuan said.

Lin Mo pointed to his face: "Me?"

“Yes, could it be him again?” Miss Yuan asked, pointing to the Sichuan girl beside her.

The Sichuan girl retorted, "Why can't it be me? What's wrong with me?"

“Tell me what you’re lacking. Go back to the studio and get back to work. I’ve already found advertisers for you. You can handle the reception yourself. I’ve already negotiated the prices for you.”

While we're at it, let's tidy up our studio. Xiaoyue and the class monitor bought a lot of things yesterday.

"You're a big blogger now, you need to maintain a certain level of sophistication," Miss Yuan said, then looked at Lin Mo and continued, "What's your side of the story?"

"Shall we go now?" Lin Mo asked.

Miss Yuan nodded: "Of course, the food is all ready over there, so hurry up and go if you're free!"

"Okay, I'll change my clothes then." After saying that, Lin Mo went back to the bedroom to change. Before the three of them left, Lin Mo thought for a moment and decided to take the 20-year-old wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain from the glass display case with him.

Considering that this trip was to visit Grandpa Jiang, and that Grandpa Jiang had helped him a great deal yesterday, it was only right to send him some gifts; it was a way of returning the favor.

This experience made him realize the importance of connections.

If it weren't for his connections and support, something might have happened, even if he had done it flawlessly.

"What is this?" Miss Yuan asked curiously, looking at the red rectangular brocade box in Lin Mo's hand.

Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled and said, "You'll find out when the time comes!"

"Tch, what a show-off!" Miss Yuan spat dismissively.

The three went downstairs. Chuanmei went to her studio, while Lin Mo got into Miss Yuan's car, and the two headed straight for the city.

The government compound in Nancheng District.

The last time I came, the neighborhood was lush and green, but this time, the trees were bare, and there were a few yellow leaves on the ground that hadn't been swept clean, telling everyone that winter had begun.

"Grandma, Grandpa, I'm here! Open the door!"

Miss Yuan pounded on the door and shouted.

Soon, the living room door was opened.

"Kobayashi's here! Come in quickly!"

The person who opened the door was none other than Jiang Feng, whom they had met just yesterday.

"Brother Jiang," Lin Mo greeted with a smile.

The two then went inside, and Miss Yuan rushed in, hugged the old lady, and started to act coquettishly—she's a veteran actress.

When Lin Mo entered the living room, he was surprised to find that there were quite a few people there. He even spotted his teacher, Professor Li, sitting in a chair drinking tea.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo quickly stepped forward and greeted them with a respectful smile, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm here again to freeload a meal!"

Looking at Lin Mo, who was tall, handsome, and polite, the two elders were all smiles.

The old lady said, "Okay, come over often when you have time!"

Grandpa Jiang: "That's right. I asked your teacher to bring you here before, but this kid insisted that you had something to do. Well, we just happened to be talking about you today, so I asked you to come over for a while. I heard from the eldest brother that you've run into some trouble lately?"

Lin Mo smiled at this, then looked at Jiang Jianguo beside him and said with a smile, "I ran into some trouble. I have to thank my uncle for his help this time, otherwise yesterday might not have been so easy!"

"Hey, no big deal. As long as you don't break the law, at least within the public security system, in Jiangning, no one can use any tricks on you!" Jiang Jianguo said calmly, his tone full of confidence.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo looked at Old Yuan beside him and said, "Uncle Yuan, I..."

"Alright, you and I are acquaintances, so there's no need for formalities. This is what I should do," Old Yuan waved his hand and said.

Lin Mo knew what he meant. Firstly, the two had indeed met several times and had developed some acquaintance. Secondly, this matter involved a shared interest, so there was no question of whether or not to thank him.

Finally, Lin Mo looked at his teacher, Professor Li, straightened up, and bowed slightly: "Teacher!"

"Hmm," Professor Li nodded lightly, then said with some dissatisfaction, "You kid, you encountered such a big problem, why didn't you tell me? Do you really think I'm an outsider in your eyes?"

I was the last to know about this! If I hadn't come today, I would have thought what your senior sister said was true!

"It's really not a problem, teacher. Actually, it was almost resolved, but I didn't expect a little trouble to arise later. I was just thinking that if it really couldn't be resolved, I would come to you again."

"I can't trouble you with every little thing, can I?"

As he spoke, Lin Mo quickly refilled his teacher's tea.

Just then, Professor Li sniffed the air, then looked at the red brocade box that Lin Mo had casually placed on the table, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "What is this?"

"Well, when you come to visit the old man, you can't come empty-handed. These are some local specialties that I got when I went out of town a while ago! I thought the old man might be able to use them," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this and seeing Professor Li's expression, everyone turned their attention to the brocade box.

Professor Li immediately opened the brocade box, revealing a ginseng root inside.
