Chapter 611 Good Brothers

Miss Yuan's sudden arrival surprised Liu Ruyan. After all, it was only eight o'clock in the morning. At this time, not to mention Miss Yuan, even she herself would not want to get up if Lin Mo hadn't brought breakfast back.

It's already mid-December, definitely winter. Even with indoor heating, it's still much less comfortable than a warm bed.

In the dead of winter, who would want to get out of bed if they could stay in bed? But Miss Yuan just had to come out, and her reason for coming to her house was so ridiculous. Was she really just looking for food?

Although Miss Yuan can't cook, it's perfectly normal for kids from families like hers not to know how to cook. With money, they're not afraid of not having enough to eat.
Even if there's no live-in nanny here, there are still delivery drivers, right? If you're willing to spend money, there's nothing you can't get!
If it were her, and Lin Mo wasn't home and she had nothing else to do, she would either order takeout or not eat at all, but she would never get up early in the morning to go to someone else's house for a free meal, even if Zhao Yun was upstairs. That's why she sighed about Yuan Meng's family going bankrupt.

"Pah~ Your family is the one that went bankrupt," Miss Yuan muttered as she ate.

Seeing this, Lin Mo explained from the side, "Sister Yuan is afraid that the food outside is not clean, so she doesn't dare to eat outside!"

"Unclean? How unclean could it be? Could it be that there are gutter oil vendors nearby?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously, as she really hadn't heard anything about it!
Lin Mo smiled at this: "How unclean can it be? That's a good question. It's so dirty that even a dog wouldn't eat it!"

He then briefly recounted how the group had recently taken Wangcai out to find food. Although it sounded rather comical, it was undeniably effective.

Even Wangcai wouldn't eat it, so the contents must be bad; either they've added technology or the ingredients aren't fresh.

He had never thought about this issue before, thinking that if something wouldn't make him sick, it was edible. So, grilled meat rice, braised pork rice, crispy chicken rice, braised chicken, and the 19-yuan all-you-can-eat hot pot were all things they usually liked to eat.

During their three years of university, they ordered takeout quite often, and the food was pretty good.

But after what happened with Wangcai, Lin Mo realized that, not to mention braised chicken and braised pork rice, how could the meat in the 19 yuan all-you-can-eat hot pot, apart from vegetables, possibly be fresh and good?

To put it simply, he might not even be able to get full by spending 19 yuan on fried skewers outside, and there aren't many varieties available, let alone a buffet where you can eat as much as you want. It's easy to see that there must be some issues with the ingredients.

Of course, in the past, even if he knew there was a problem, he would still eat it. But now that his conditions are better, he naturally wants to improve his standards and pay attention to his health. He would rather spend more money to eat something hygienic.

"No, is it as dirty as you say? Wait a minute, what about this breakfast?" Liu Ruyan asked uncertainly.

Lin Mo nodded upon hearing this: "Don't worry about that. This is breakfast from our school cafeteria. Putting everything else aside, the hygiene is definitely up to standard. Otherwise, why do you think Sister Yuan would come over so early in the morning?"

Fortunately, he bought a fairly good amount of breakfast today: crystal shrimp dumplings, pan-fried buns, xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), freshly cooked beef pies, two bowls of porridge, eggs, and mixed vegetables.

With Miss Yuan's appetite, although she wouldn't be full, it would at least fill her up. As for why she didn't go to the cafeteria herself, well, it's closer, isn't it?

"So what have you been eating these past two days?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Lin Mo: "I can cook, and Wangcai has also found a very few restaurants that are edible. As for Sister Yuan..."

"I've been eating snacks these past two days, Mozi. How about I move in with you? How about you cook for me from now on?" Miss Yuan said.

But before Lin Mo could answer, Liu Ruyan couldn't sit still any longer: "It's not good at all. Don't even think about it. Do you know what a romantic getaway is? If you come, we won't be able to relax!"

Lin Mo:
"Tch, if you don't want to come, then don't. I'll just go home for a couple of days and wait until Xiaoyue and the class monitor have explored all the nearby shops with Wangcai before I come back," Miss Yuan retorted.

Since Chuanmei and her companion left on their business trip yesterday, He Xiaoyue and the class monitor haven't been idle either. They've been wandering around the neighborhood with Wangcai. As for that braised food stall, it's impossible to get any now; it's sold out instantly as soon as it appears.

The stall can be closed after about half an hour, and the owner is planning to increase the quantity these days.

"That's perfect, let's go home together and take a look around later," Liu Ruyan said.

She should go back and visit these past few days since she came back. After all, she's not Lin Mo, and she can't really be idle. She still has things to deal with every day.

"Sure!" Miss Yuan agreed without hesitation.

Soon, after the two finished eating, Liu Ruyan tidied up and took Miss Yuan home.

The main reason was that Yuan Guocheng had also gotten involved, so she naturally had to go over, firstly to express her gratitude, and secondly to get a detailed understanding of the progress. As for Lin Mo, he didn't need to go; after all, Lin Mo, Old Yuan, and Liu Zhengyuan were in a cooperative relationship, each getting what they needed, so there was no need for thanks.

At 9:30 a.m., the two drove away from the residential area in their own cars. Lin Mo stood upstairs watching, and to be honest, he felt a strange sense of relief.

It wasn't that he was annoyed with Liu Ruyan, but rather that he was enjoying the feeling of resting alone. He had indeed been lacking energy these past two days, and he would rather sit than lie down.

Fortunately, after a few days of rest and the application of Fuyang exercises, he has recovered considerably; at least his face has regained some color.

"Buzz~Buzz~"

Just then, his phone rang. When he picked it up, he found that it was a video call from Sichuan girl.

"Hey, that's unusual."

Lin Mo became interested and casually pressed the call button. The next second, Chuan Mei and Director Wang appeared on the phone screen.

"How's it going? Is the work progressing smoothly? Have you encountered any problems?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Sichuan girl took her phone and walked around. The video showed a hotel room.

“What do you think? We haven’t even set off yet!” the Sichuan girl said.

Lin Mo was taken aback: "Wait a minute, didn't you arrive in Suzhou yesterday? Why haven't you set off yet?"

"Do you think we're the production team's donkeys? We only arrived here yesterday afternoon, found a hotel, arranged a car rental, and had dinner. It's already evening. How can we possibly catch up on the schedule? We're lucky we even got to see anyone today!" the Sichuan girl said.

All of this was contingent on him being able to meet the target. Although Zhao Yun had the help of clues from the police, this task was not so easy to complete.

"Then why are you calling me so early in the morning instead of going to work?" Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him.

Hearing this, the Sichuan girl was a little embarrassed and hesitant, and said, "Well, I have some personal issues that I'd like to hear your advice on!"

"Oh? A personal matter, tell me about it~" Lin Mo immediately became interested and casually took out a bag of melon seeds from the drawer under the coffee table to prepare to eat some melon seeds.

He might not know others, but he knew a thing or two about what kind of person a Sichuan girl was. For this guy to make that expression, something interesting must have happened.

Sure enough, the next second, the Sichuan girl took a deep breath and stammered, "Well, recently I've seen that you all have boyfriends, and I think I should find one too, so I spent the whole night thinking of a way!"

"Stop with all that nonsense, get to the point!" Lin Mo waved his hand, not wanting to hear any of that preamble.

In response, Chuanmei said somewhat awkwardly, "Well, Lao Mo, you know that although I don't have many male friends in real life, I do know quite a few bloggers online, and some of them are pretty good friends. I'd like them to help me find a partner, preferably someone from the Jiangning area."

You know what, it actually happened. A female blogger confessed her feelings to me, and someone said they'd introduce their daughter to me. I swear, I considered the woman who confessed to me a buddy, but who knew she'd have such thoughts.

Lin Mo: "(Click) So, what exactly do you want to ask me? (Click) You're not just showing off how charming you, Li Shiya, are, are you? (Click) Tui~"

"No, no, but the current situation is that both sides say that as long as I agree, we can start dating. In other words, I have two potential girlfriends now. What should I do?" Chuanmei asked with some difficulty.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately transformed into the meme of an old man on the subway looking at his phone: "That's it? Can we share one?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sichuan girl's expression lit up with joy: "Great! You really are my good brother. I've sent you the photos. Tell me, which one do you want!"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
Seeing the two photos the Sichuan girl sent him on his phone, he immediately exploded: "I told you to share one, not me!"
