Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

What's the point of even talking about that? He seriously suspected that if Miss Yuan really went to Tengwang Pavilion, she would be chased away by security personnel to buy a ticket.

Of course, if he were to go now, he would probably have to buy a ticket. He can only remember a part of the content that left a deep impression on him. To memorize the whole thing would be impossible if he were still in school.

Generally speaking, a person's brain is at its most sharp before university, especially when it comes to learning.

Since entering university, Lin Mo felt that he was just there to maintain his health. Although he used studying as an excuse, his ultimate goal was to get a diploma.

What kind of knowledge can you expect from a student who sleeps in the back row during class? It's laughable.

Looking at it this way, it turns out that his purpose in coming to school and Professor Mu's purpose in coming to their school are actually quite similar: to retire.

However, his contract is temporary, only four years, while Professor Mu can work here until he can no longer leave.

Of course, there's also the fact that he needs to pay money to come here to retire, while Professor Mu can make money.

However, he could only say that this was the case at their university. As for other universities, or key universities like those in the first-tier, 211, and 985 programs, he didn't know.

However, regardless of the university, it seems that once you graduate, you will forget a lot of the knowledge you learned from your teachers over time.

After lunch, Liu Ruyan didn't rush to leave. Instead, she waited for Manager Ma and the others to return before leaving with Lin Mo.

As for what Miss Yuan does, that's her own business, but she won't leave her boyfriend here.

There was nothing she could do; there were too many nurses around her boyfriend, and Liu Ruyan felt jealous.

"Stop messing around with Yuanyuan and the others at the hospital these next few days, do you hear me?" Liu Ruyan said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo guessed Liu Ruyan's thoughts and couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, alright, I got it. By the way, do you still need me to go to the company with you?"

"Either come with me to the company, or go home and wait for me to get off work. It's your choice," Liu Ruyan said, raising her chin with a hint of smugness.

Lin Mo sighed, "Then I'd better go home. Going to the company would be pointless, and I'd just get stared at by your employees. I might as well go home. Bye!"

After saying that, he opened the car door and got in.

Nowadays, whenever he goes upstairs to the company, he always gets strange looks from Liu Ruyan's employees.

It wasn't that he was contemptuous or looked down upon; on the contrary, he received looks of surprise, admiration, and envy. Even so, he didn't want to go over, just to avoid trouble.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan smiled, naturally understanding what Lin Mo was thinking.

The two then got into their respective cars and went their separate ways.

Meanwhile, in the Dongshan villa area, in a chess and card room within a common activity area.

Ms. Cheng was playing cards with several of her old friends.

Along with the onlookers, there were seven people, all around fifty years old.

Ms. Cheng wasn't the youngest, but she looked the youngest. She wore a black fitted wool sweater and tight-fitting shaping pants. Her hair was loose, and her long, black hair made her look exceptionally young. You would have thought she was a young woman in her early thirties who wasn't married. She looked out of place compared to the group of aunties around her who tried hard to dress up but still couldn't hide the signs of aging.

There's no way around it. Firstly, Ms. Cheng has a good foundation, after all, she was the previous generation's Emperor Ruyan. Secondly, she has maintained a great figure over the years, which makes her look young. Once the skin problem is solved, she will naturally look even younger and more radiant.

If Lin Mo were there, he would have thought Liu Ruyan was playing mahjong.

"Xiao Qing, how come your face looks so different? You haven't aged at all in all these years," one of the women, a plump woman in her fifties, said with a laugh.

She was adorned with jewels—her wrists, neck, fingers, and ears were covered in jewelry—and wore heavy makeup, giving off a bold and unrestrained vibe.

Upon hearing this, another woman, who was slightly thinner and dressed rather simply, laughed and said, "More than that, I feel that Sister Qing is getting younger and younger. If you didn't know her, you would think she was a young lady from a wealthy family!"

"Exactly! Look how smooth her face is! What's her secret? We're all sisters, Xiao Qing, don't keep anything to yourself!" "Right now, the only one who can compare to her is probably Old Yuan's wife!"

Listening to everyone's comments, Ms. Cheng played her cards and laughed, "Hey, it's mainly about having a good mindset, but there really is a secret to it."

My wife and I both use a secret skincare product. We had to ask around to find it; otherwise, you all know what we looked like before!

This isn't just idle talk. Both Ms. Cheng and Ms. Jiang live here, and we see each other all the time.

Moreover, at this age, even Ms. Cheng's skin had problems before, including wrinkles and sagging.

These are all traces of time, unavoidable. Everyone here is well-off, and many of you are grandmothers. How could you not get old?

However, since the second half of this year, Ms. Cheng and Ms. Jiang have started to age in reverse, which is no secret among these wealthy women.

During this time, many people came to inquire, but the two said they used special skincare products, which were given to them by others and could not be bought outside. They said there were too few products and it was not appropriate to ask for more.

Many people are helpless in this situation, and some even feel dissatisfied, but there is nothing they can do about it.

"Hey Xiao Qing, this is no fun. I asked you before, and you're the one who makes the secret ointment. Now that you're all set, why don't you start managing your old friends too? You're just making us all envious," said the voluptuous and outspoken older sister.

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"That's it!"

"What kind of ointment is it?!"

"Anything else? If so, could you get us some too? Don't worry, it'll cost exactly what you'd pay for; you won't be ripped off."

Everyone chimed in, and upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng's lips curled into a slight smile; this was exactly the effect she wanted.

Someone had asked her before, but she couldn't easily agree because there was no word from Lin Mo. But things are different now.

Lin Mo and her daughter Liu Ruyan were still young and only saw the immediate benefits. With this, she could even bring a fairly stable cooperative relationship to the family, which was the real prize.

"To be honest, if you had asked before, I really wouldn't have had a solution. This stuff is really hard to get. But recently a batch of ointment came in, so it's possible. I got this through connections. One serving, this is the price," Ms. Cheng said, holding up two fingers.

"20?"

"How is that possible? You spend more than 20 yuan a year on your face, do you really think it can have this effect? ​​It should cost 200 million yuan, right, Xiao Qing?"

“That’s right, 200 million. My family only got it because we had some connections with them. But I heard that there were 26 shares in total. My family got two, so there are 24 left. They want to send them to the capital, Shanghai, to get a good price,” Ms. Cheng said proudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately erupted in chaos, abandoning their mahjong game to demand more details.

But Ms. Cheng knew that going too far was not good, so she directly explained the effects of the ointment, showed her face to the other party, and even let them touch it.

Immediately, everyone asked Ms. Cheng for help, hoping she could get some.

Ms. Cheng didn't agree immediately, but said frankly, "Okay, we've been friends for so many years, I'll ask around for you when I get back today."

I can't guarantee anything else, but the effect is absolute. When I bought this ointment, they told me to use it on the spot, saying that if it didn't work, I wouldn't pay. However, it's really not cheap, so you should be prepared.

"Hey, what's this? As long as it works, money is no problem. Let alone 200, even 300 is fine," the generous older woman laughed heartily.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng's lips curled up slightly; the money was about to arrive.
