Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 706 You're a rich kid, you motherfucker?
At noon, we went to Jufulou, a relatively famous local restaurant. It's quite upscale and classy. Putting aside the taste, the decor is definitely more business-oriented.

At this moment, Lin Mo was sitting alone in a private room. The table was already laden with food, a very lavish spread. The waitresses were quite professional, even explaining the steps and history of each dish as it was served, which was essentially a form of forced consumption.

After all, he knew that this introduction wasn't free; there was a service fee involved, and most importantly, he would still have to pay the service fee even if he didn't listen.

Lin Mo considered himself a common person, an ordinary person, who couldn't pretend to be sophisticated. He didn't want to try to understand the cultural background of a dish while eating.

Ordinary people don't need to know the cultural background of a dish before they go out to eat. Elegance isn't something you can fake; only a fool would do that.

However, this reminded him that he might be able to do the same thing at his own restaurant, which could perhaps elevate its image.

Although he doesn't like listening to this stuff while eating, the fact that this format exists proves that it still has a market, at least in high-end restaurants.

Just as he was drinking the tea he had brought from the restaurant, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, really," Mr. Chen said, jogging over and panting.

Just now at the Mazu Temple, Lin Mo quickly shook off the crowd thanks to his agile movements and youthful stamina. After all, he was just an ordinary person, not a celebrity. Once he left the Mazu Temple, who would recognize him?

But Mr. Chen was different. His old arms and legs couldn't support him to run away, and he was stopped by some people present. In the end, he finally managed to get away with great difficulty.

He even met a pretty good business partner, the old man who was the first to give Lin Mo a red envelope and ask him to help him throw the Holy Grail.

Although the old man was not a local, he was from Chaoshan and was even more devoted to Mazu than the man himself.

No one who can build a large business is a fool. After a brief conversation, the two realized that this was a useful connection. They exchanged contact information, and Mr. Chen briefly explained Lin Mo's situation.

Since the two fled one after the other, Boss Chen had his driver bring Lin Mo here for a meal first. The restaurant and dishes had been booked in advance, which is why almost all the dishes were served when Lin Mo arrived.

"It's alright, I just arrived too. Is Mr. Chen alright?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.

He had indeed just arrived; the two of them arrived only about ten minutes apart.

"It's nothing, it's all thanks to Mr. Tuolin. I've met a great business partner today. Oh, and here, this is for you." With that, Mr. Chen placed two items wrapped in red paper on the table.

Upon seeing this, Lin Mo asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"It's just a small token of my appreciation," Mr. Chen said with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Lin Mo took it without thinking. He initially thought it was tea based on the packaging, since it looked like two extra-large tea bricks wrapped in red paper.

But as soon as he touched it, Lin Mo immediately sensed something was wrong. He quickly tore open a corner and found a stack of neatly arranged hundred-yuan bills inside.

"What does Mr. Chen mean by this?" Lin Mo asked, his eyes wide.

I've only just arrived. Bribe me? Even if you bribe me, I don't have the decision-making power to cooperate. Besides, it's somewhat understandable that Manager Zhang bribed him, but it's a bit unreasonable for Boss Chen to bribe him.

Besides, although the amount of money is not small, it only looks like a few hundred thousand. The two bricks together are only a few hundred thousand. Although he is not a super rich man, it is a bit unreasonable to try to bribe him with this amount of money.
Which cadre wouldn't pass such a test? Even if you want to attack my weaknesses, at least put in some effort. This kind of tactic isn't even worthy of giving me a gua sha treatment.

Before he accessed the shopping page, this would have been a huge sum of money, enough to overwhelm him. But now, while it's not exactly a drop in the ocean, it's really nothing either.

“Mr. Lin, please don’t misunderstand. This is a thank-you gift prepared for you by Boss Liu. By the way, Boss Liu is the first person who asked you for help at the temple. 188,800, after all, you have prayed for his company,” Chen Guisheng quickly explained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was taken aback: "A thank-you gift? The red envelope back then wasn't this thick, and besides, I didn't accept it!"

Just now, people around him were practically treating him like a turtle in a wishing well. Generous people like Boss Liu could offer red envelopes of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. Some people with relatively good means could offer 600, 800, 1,000 or 2,000 yuan. People with average means would only be able to offer 100 yuan, just so they could get him to toss the Holy Grail.

If Lin Mo had tossed three Holy Grails in a row, it wouldn't have mattered. But he had already tossed more than a dozen Holy Grails in a row. At this point, everyone wanted to come and share in the good fortune. As long as he tossed another Holy Grail next time, they would feel at ease thinking that they had received the blessing of more than a dozen Holy Grails, and would naturally be willing to spend some money.

In Fujian, particularly the Chaoshan region where people have a strong belief in Mazu, if someone says they can make money by throwing the divination blocks 18 times for 100 yuan, they can literally make money while lying down.

It's a pity that it's only a two-day trial card. If it were permanent, even if he doesn't have a shopping page now, as long as he develops here, he can still thrive. All those big bosses would have to line up to invite him to cast the Holy Grail.

"That's right, you left the money at the Mazu Temple without taking it. The people there spontaneously decided to donate it to the temple. This is what Mr. Liu prepared later!" Mr. Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath. Sure enough, the shop owner here was a bit superstitious: "That's not right, what about the other one?"

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. It's also 188,800, but you must take this one. May the Goddess Mazu bless you!" Mr. Chen said sincerely.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Mr. Chen's phone rang in his pocket.

"Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry, I need to take this call," Mr. Chen apologized and then answered the phone.

A moment later, Boss Chen exclaimed in astonishment, "What?! A 20 million yuan order? Great, great, double the bonus, plus commission!"

After hanging up the phone, Boss Chen quickly came to Lin Mo's side and shook his hands: "Thanks to Mr. Lin's good fortune. By the way, is there anything you want to buy during your trip here? I'll take care of it all."

If you're interested in settling down and developing your career here, I can provide accommodation!

Lin Mo:
For some reason, he always felt that Boss Chen was a bit obsessed.

"No, I absolutely won't accept this money." Lin Mo had just placed his hands on the two 'red bricks' and was about to push them over, but the next second, Boss Chen pressed him down firmly.

"Please accept this, otherwise I won't feel at ease. Don't worry, I've benefited from your kindness, so I must reciprocate in every way, or I'll have bad luck!" Boss Chen said firmly.

It was as if refusing this money today would be tantamount to killing him; the way they were practically begging for money was something he'd never seen before in his life. But Lin Mo had a feeling that this wasn't a thank-you gift, but rather incense money.

The meal went well for both host and guest. Although the restaurant was a bit pricey, it was worth it, as the food was at least decent. After the meal, just as the two were having tea, Manager Zhang and another middle-aged man walked in together.

"Boss, we've reached an agreement, just as you instructed," the man said as he approached Boss Chen.

Manager Zhang also came up to him and nodded, saying, "Mr. Lin, everything went smoothly. Boss Chen has shown considerable sincerity this time!"

Although he didn't show it on his face, he was actually almost numb inside. This was much better than the usual terms he negotiated for cooperation. He could hardly imagine what happened between Mr. Lin and Boss Chen after he left.

It should be noted that although Chen Guisheng is superstitious, all those who become bosses are shrewd and cunning. It is extremely difficult to take advantage of him, but this time he has received such a fixed treatment.

Most importantly, Lin Mo's actions make him look like a useless business manager!

"Hmm, not bad, Mr. Lin. Since there are no problems, let's sign the contract," Mr. Chen said with a smile.

Lin Mo naturally wouldn't object to this, since that's exactly what he came here to do.

Soon, Lin Mo took out the documents that Xiao Tian had given him, and Boss Chen also had his own prepared copy. The two parties began to sign the document.

However, Lin Mo's signature was not required for the contract; Manager Zhang would handle it on his behalf, since he was the manager here.

"Alright, that's all for you here. Go ahead and get busy. I can take the contracts back myself," Lin Mo said to Manager Zhang, seeing that everything was settled.

His tone was flat, but carried a hint of detachment.

"Okay, then I'll be going now, Mr. Lin. Please contact me if you need anything." Zhang Chao naturally sensed Lin Mo's attitude and became even more cautious.

At this point, Liu Ruyan had completely achieved her goal of having Lin Mo come over.

After Zhang Chao left, Boss Chen couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lin, is it because you and Manager Zhang don't get along?"

"No, no, we're just not familiar with each other," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Just kidding. Even if Zhang Chao has some underhanded dealings, he's still a member of Liu Ruyan's company. Family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, so he naturally wouldn't tell anyone.

Seeing this, Boss Chen nodded: "I see. Does Mr. Lin have any plans? If not, I can show you around these next couple of days!"

"No need, I came with my friends. They went to have fun. I'll call them in a bit and then I'll go find them," Lin Mo politely declined.

Having finished his business, he naturally wouldn't spend time with this person he had just met. After all, there was a generational difference in their ages, and what was the point of hanging out with such an old man?

At 2 p.m., Lin Mo sat in a comfortable minivan with a driver in front.

This was arranged by Chen Guisheng, who had the driver bring him over.

In Dongqiao Town, Lin Mo looked outside and realized that the local environment truly shapes its people. This place was already considered the outskirts, or even the countryside.

However, the rural areas here are very different from those in Jiangning and the north. There are many two-story houses in the rural areas here, and the rural environment looks much better than in their hometown.

Moreover, the rural areas here seem to have a fairly large population, unlike Lin Mo's hometown where there are hardly any people in the village.

Soon, at a fork in the road, Lin Mo spotted a Tank 300 parked in the distance, with Director Wang standing beside it.

Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but say, "Please stop at the fork in the road ahead, thank you!"

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

After saying that, the driver parked the car on the side of the road, then quickly got out and opened the car door for Lin Mo.

"You've worked hard, go back now!" Lin Mo said to the driver, carrying two bags of fruit.

After saying that, he walked towards Wang Chu, who was staring in disbelief.

"What's wrong, Xiao Wang? Shut your surprised mouth. I'm the boss wherever I go," Lin Mo stepped forward, manually closing Wang Chu's chin as he laughed.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang finally came to his senses: "Holy crap, Lao Mo, you're amazing! You even managed to get a ride-hailing service!"

"Of course, we're VIPs. By the way, where are Sister Yuan and the others?" Lin Mo asked as he opened the car door and got in.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang quickly got into the car: "They're waiting for me at my house for dinner. Let's go, let's go to my house!"

Soon, the two of them took a fork in the road and exited the national highway. Although they had exited the highway, the road surface was still a repaired cement road, and it was not at all like a rural area.

Before long, a village with a rather beautiful view appeared before Lin Mo's eyes. It was still mostly two-story buildings, built against the mountain.

Of course, not all of them are small buildings; there are also some rather dilapidated houses, but not many.

When Director Wang stopped the car in front of a house that looked like a small rural villa, Lin Mo couldn't help but widen his eyes and spit out:
"You're a rich kid, aren't you?"

Director Wang: ? ? ?
