Chapter 701 Two Yuan Cigarettes

Okay, okay, so this is how you play it? The key point is, his dad didn't even think of this when he named him, did he?

However, it must be said that it seems that no parents here actually name their children Lin Mo. This is probably out of respect for Mazu, as the name Lin Mo is almost synonymous with divine imagery here.

Lin Mo went to the Mazu Temple to worship Mazu, and Lin Mo worshipped Lin Mo. It sounded very strange, so it's no wonder that Director Wang mentioned it.

But even though he brought it up, Lin Mo didn't listen to him anyway, and he had to go and see what was going on.

Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of the Mazu Temple. Director Wang whispered, "Ahem, everyone, please pay attention. From now on, forget Lao Mo's name and just call him Lao Mo. Do not call him by his full name!"

"That's just like how you guys usually call me by my name," Lin Mo said, rolling his eyes at everyone.

The name "Lao Mo" was given to him by Director Wang. After all, from the first day of freshman year, Director Wang had been calling him Lao Mo ever since he learned his name, and then all the guys in the dorm started calling him that too.

Normally, only the class monitor, He Xiaoyue, would call him by his full name. As for Miss Yuan, she usually called him Mozai, and when she got angry, she would call him Little Black Dog.

"Alright, alright, I know, can we go in now?" Miss Yuan said anxiously.

Seeing this, Director Wang led them inside. With Director Wang, a local, there was no need for them, as they were outsiders, to break any rules, and the process went very smoothly.

At this time, there weren't many people in the Mazu Temple. Soon, the group arrived inside. With Director Wang explaining things to them, Miss Yuan knelt directly on the prayer mat, took the divination cup handed to her by Director Wang, and clasped her hands together, murmuring, "Mazu Goddess, I hope you will bless me with good health, a long life, no cavities, lots of delicious food, and happiness every day!"

After saying that, he threw down the water chestnut cup in his hand, one representing yin and the other yang.

"Yay! The Holy Grail! Goddess Mazu has agreed!" Miss Yuan exclaimed happily.

Not only was Miss Yuan happy, but some locals around also smiled knowingly at the sight. First of all, Miss Yuan was adorable, and secondly, although she murmured her wish, her voice was quite loud, and everyone heard it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh and say, "Sister Yuan, it's hard for your wish not to come true!"

"Right? After all, even the Goddess Mazu agreed!" Miss Yuan said proudly.

Lin Mo smiled without saying a word. He thought to himself, "I could give permission to anything that doesn't even need the Goddess Mazu's approval."

After all, Miss Yuan's body is as strong as a young calf, so of course she is healthy and will likely live to be a hundred.

Moreover, the gluttonous girl's wishes were incredibly simple; all of them revolved around food.

Being in great health, having a great appetite, and having no cavities is all for the sake of eating. Living to a hundred years old is all for the sake of eating even more food. It's simply amazing.

After that, the class monitor, Chuanmei, Wang Chu, and the other two also started tossing the divination cups. No one knows what they wished for, but some cups cried and some laughed. However, after everyone threw them a few more times, they all became holy cups.

Especially that grandson of Wang Chu, I don't know if his wish was too lewd, or if today was not an important day, so he did not show his special skills as the son of Mazu. He threw three times, twice with a crying cup and once with a laughing cup.

"No way, Director Wang, it seems that the Goddess Mazu doesn't agree to your request today!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

You know, both he and Chuanmei knew about the miracle of Wang Chu's nine Holy Grails, so naturally they had to tease him a bit.

"Ahem, maybe Mazu thinks I'm not sincere enough today. I don't care. Anyway, Mazu always gives me important guidance at important moments in my life," Director Wang said with a smile, undeterred.

After all, if he could throw the Holy Grail every time, he would have made a fortune here long ago, and there would be plenty of company owners willing to take him back and support him.

"Alright, stop talking about me. Come here, I want to see whether Mazu likes you or me." Director Wang handed over the jujube cup.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo accepted the gift, knelt down, clasped his hands together, and silently wished for his family's good health.

Although he didn't have this belief, he followed local customs and threw the Holy Grail with both hands, one up and one down.

"It seems that Goddess Mazu still likes me quite a bit!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Seeing this, Director Wang curled his lip: "You only did it once, you need to throw it three times to count!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo tossed the chalice twice more, both times yielding the Holy Grail. He was taken aback and laughed, "Looks like I'm quite lucky. The Goddess Mazu seems to like me a little more, haha!" "Tch, you're just benefiting from the Goddess Mazu's influence. Let's go, let's go!" Director Wang said, then led the group outside.

Three consecutive Holy Grails, although the probability is not high, is within everyone's understanding. They just thought Lin Mo was lucky, so it did not cause any surprise.

Even after leaving the Mazu Temple and getting into the car, Director Wang was still grumbling indignantly, "Mazu doesn't really like you. She just glanced at you a few more times because you share the same name as her. Don't be so smug!"

If it were said that Miss Yuan and the others had thrown the Holy Grail three times, Director Wang certainly wouldn't have cared. But when this person with the same name as the Goddess Mazu threw it, he immediately sensed a sense of crisis, feeling that he was no longer the Goddess Mazu's favorite child.

Hearing this, Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him: "That's enough, hurry up, can't you see Sister Yuan is hungry?"

“That’s right, that’s right,” Miss Yuan urged.

Seeing this, Director Wang could only take everyone to a restaurant, which, judging by its appearance, had been around for quite some time.

"Our local restaurant is a long-established business; the food is absolutely top-notch," Wang Chudao said.
None of them had any objections to this. After all, with a local present, they were sure they wouldn't make any mistakes. Besides, Miss Yuan was a seasoned food connoisseur, and she knew very well that some local delicacies were unlikely to be found in big restaurants. These old, established shops were the real treasures.

Soon, the group sampled local delicacies: Fuzhou fish balls, oyster omelets, lychee pork, satay noodles, and ginger duck. The taste was alright, quite unique, and at least they didn't encounter any of those bizarre dishes.

By the time the group came out, it was already dark. They drove back to the hotel, and Director Wang awkwardly pulled the blushing squad leader back to his room.

Upon seeing this, Lin Mo and the other two couldn't help but boo, and then went back to their respective rooms.

Tired? A little, after all, Lin Mo hadn't had a moment's rest all day. After washing up, he lay down and sent a message to Liu Ruyan to discuss the documents.

Meanwhile, Chuanmei and Miss Yuan, two energetic people, got together to discuss where to go for the next two days. Chuanmei also wanted to take some photos and videos.

As for the squad leader and Director Wang, their separation was like a reunion, and they were completely shameless.

Wang thought to himself, "My brothers are making fun of me, so I can't let them laugh at me for nothing." But the squad leader couldn't let go of the teasing and refused Wang's invitation to play ranked matches.

Finally, after much pleading and cajoling from Director Wang, they relented.

But after Wang finished showering, he suddenly realized he had run out of cigarettes, so he said to the squad leader, "Ahem, squad leader, could you give me some money? I'm going downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes!"

Although Wang Chu has made some progress in losing weight, his money is still with the class monitor. If he needs to spend money, he can just ask the class monitor for it.

At first, he wasn't used to it, but now he finds it really appealing. Since giving the money to the class monitor, his monthly expenses have decreased significantly.

The two had already discussed it and agreed to work together to buy a house. Besides, the class monitor wasn't the type to be stingy with money; she could meet reasonable requests. However, she didn't like smoking and had advised Director Wang several times. It wasn't that he couldn't smoke at all, but that he should smoke less.

"You're out again? Have you been smoking so much lately?" the class monitor asked, frowning slightly.

To this, Director Wang chuckled and said, "Well, after I got home, I met up with some friends and shared them with them."

Seeing this, the squad leader, who was sitting on the bed, rolled his eyes, smiled slightly, and waved to Director Wang, saying with a smile, "Come here, come here!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Chu immediately went over, only to see the squad leader pat him on the shoulder and say, "Want a smoke, huh? I won't bully you. One yuan a minute, just what you wanted, right? In that case, let's settle this with our money!"

Upon hearing this, Director Wang's face immediately broke into a smug smile. He excitedly stood up and arrogantly declared, "I haven't smoked a Zhonghua cigarette in ages, haha!!"

Having said that, he pounced on her.

The scene shifts to the supermarket downstairs in the hotel. Director Wang walks in with a blank expression, his eyes scanning back and forth in the supermarket's cigarette cabinet. He doesn't say a word for a long time.

Upon seeing this, the supermarket owner couldn't help but ask, "What kind of cigarettes do you want?"

Director Wang: "Boss, do you have any cigarettes that cost two yuan?"

boss:???
