Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

It has to be said that nowadays, Liu Ruyan no longer hides any of her requests from him, except for a few of her little secrets.

She can just say she'll work overtime and do it so confidently. You should know that her company's employees get triple pay for working overtime during holidays. Not only does she not get paid for working overtime, but she also has to pay hundreds of millions of yuan out of her own pocket. She's practically paying to work.

After giving Liu Ruyan a simple massage, Lin Mo got up to cook. By the time he finished cooking, Liu Ruyan had recovered somewhat.

After dinner, I immediately started working overtime. Fortunately, every effort has its counter-effect. Emperor Yan has been lacking energy lately, so I only worked an extra hour before he was able to leave work smoothly. It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

The next day, Tuesday, Liu Ruyan went to work as usual, while Lin Mo stayed home tidying up, even cleaning the two unfurnished guest rooms.

As for cleaning the house, although he could hire a housekeeper for a few hundred yuan, he still prefers to find something to do himself, and it's more convenient to clean his own house.

At noon, Miss Yuan and her friends came to freeload lunch as usual. As the end of the year approached, more and more shops in the surrounding area chose to close.

Now, let alone those clean restaurants that Wangcai approves of, there are hardly any restaurants left that Wangcai finds disgusting or unhygienic.

These past two days, everyone's food has noticeably declined. They come to his place for lunch, and in the evening, Miss Yuan or Sister Chuan take everyone a little further away to find a clean restaurant.

These days, chain stores like KFC and McDonald's are practically their canteens; otherwise, they can only buy instant noodles, self-heating rice, or self-heating hot pot from the supermarket.

As for the class monitor's cooking, it was hygienic, but the taste was just average. At most, these few people could bring back some meat to cook in a hot pot.

On Wednesday, Linmo Restaurant was open as usual. Since it was the last time it would be open before the Lunar New Year, people who made reservations ordered extravagantly.

Originally, Liu Ruyan was thinking that if all else failed, she would not make those time-consuming dishes, but only some stir-fries, so that she could serve more tables.

But the guests disagreed, mainly because they came to eat those signature dishes, so in the end they still booked three tables.

Comrade Lao Yuan still followed along; after all, the private room couldn't be opened without him, a rule that Liu Ruyan had set from the beginning.

Thursday arrived in the blink of an eye, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. It was also the last day that Chuanmei and the others would be here before the Lunar New Year. Tomorrow, they would all go back to their respective homes to prepare for the New Year.

"Mo Zai, what are you doing? Take these off! They're so tacky!"

At noon, Lin Mo was standing at the living room door putting up couplets when Miss Yuan and the others came over. They looked at the ordinary couplets he had bought downstairs and said with disdain.

Lin Mo turned to look at the group and said helplessly, "It's alright. Harmony in the family brings harmony in all things, and good fortune and wealth arrive with good luck. The horizontal scroll reads 'Happy New Year,' which has a wonderful meaning!"

Anyway, he was quite satisfied with his couplet, which included a large "福" (good fortune) character in the middle, since his family's couplets were always like this every year.

"Bullshit, are you even a young person? You're acting like an old man when you're making a couplet!" Miss Yuan said with her hands on her hips and a look of disdain.

The Sichuan girl nodded in agreement: "It's Lao Mo, they're all young people, let's do something fun!"

"So tell me, what's fun about it? What kind of couplets did you guys make?" Lin Mo asked.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan raised her chin slightly: "What I'm saying is, if I'm lucky, I'll enjoy it; if I'm not, I'll seize it. The bottom line is, I love you, my dear."

Sichuan girl: "Mine is, to reap without sowing, to enjoy the fruits of others' labor, to rise to the top without merit, and to achieve one's wishes in one step!"

He Xiaoyue: "The studio's motto is: 'Work hard today, eight male models tomorrow!' And the final message: 'Money, money, money!'"

Upon hearing this, the class monitor silently lowered his head, Director Wang looked bewildered, Miss Yuan looked encouraging, and the Sichuan girl looked distressed and didn't want to speak.

Lin Mo:
"No, I can understand Sister Yuan and Chuanzi, after all, it's related to their personalities, but what's going on with the studio? Have you sidelined Chuanzi?"

Indeed, Miss Yuan is the kind of ruthless bandit who enjoys good fortune when she has it and robs when she doesn't. The couplet by the Sichuan girl clearly reflects the sentiments of contemporary young people: who doesn't want to gain without effort?
But this studio also needs eight male models; if you didn't know better, you'd think some female hooligan had come to work.

Now this studio is no secret; everyone knows it's where Li Shiya works. If people saw it, they might think he has a problem with his sexual orientation.

"Oh dear, there are too many women and not enough men in our studio, so I have to attract some romance for myself. Besides, the couplets in the studio were put up by me and the class monitor, so of course it's up to us," He Xiaoyue said happily.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him: "Fine, fine, you guys are always there anyway, do whatever you want."

But if you insist that my couplet is no good, then tell me, what should I use?

As soon as he finished speaking, the class monitor pulled out a bag from behind his back: "These are all what we have left over. Take a look and see which one you like!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo accepted it with a puzzled expression.

Yellow dog, white dog, little black dog, may wealth, fortune, and luck abound! Woof woof woof woof!

"Why do I feel like you guys are insulting me?" Lin Mo said expressionlessly.

Seeing this, none of Miss Yuan and the others dared to look at him; they all looked away and whistled. Lin Mo took a deep breath and flipped through the pages again.

Fools are lucky, idiots don't need to worry, just buy me some sunflower seeds.

"This is pure insult!" Lin Mo shouted, pointing at the couplet.

He said, "How could these people be so kind as to come and deliver couplets to me?"

"Ahem, Lao Mo, calm down, these were all custom-made by Sister Yuan," Chuan Mei said with a smile.

Lin Mo: "How about we switch? I'll go buy you some sunflower seeds, okay?"

He was wondering how there could be such an outrageous couplet. It turned out that a rich second-generation heir with money to burn was just having fun.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is so targeted! I seriously suspect you're subtly criticizing me!" Lin Mo said, speechless.

Miss Yuan chuckled and said, "Well, since you're the only one among us living with Liu Ruyan, this couplet is perfect for you!"

"So Squad Leader Wang is dating too!" Lin Mo retorted.

Director Wang: "We don't live together, and Lao Mo, you know, I'm currently abstaining from sex!"

"Get out of my way! Do you have any other ideas? If not, I'll just use this one. If I use your couplet, I'll be laughed at for a whole year," Lin Mo spat.

Seeing this, the squad leader took out an exquisite couplet from his pocket and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Don't worry, we've already prepared your couplet, and we all agreed that it's perfect for you!"

Seeing this, Lin Mo took it with some skepticism and then unfolded it.

[Eat well, drink well, have money to spend, find a partner, escape poverty, and keep your hair from falling out—make a living off your looks!]

Lin Mo:
Are you sure this thing is right for me?

Miss Yuan: "What do you mean it's not suitable? Have you found a boyfriend and escaped poverty? You're eating and drinking well at home all day. You've hooked up with a rich woman. And you still say you don't make a living off your looks?"

"I did this through my own abilities. Don't you know that even if others don't? Where's your conscience?" Lin Mo shouted.

Seeing this, the Sichuan girl came over and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Old Mo!!! We may be poor, but we don't lie. You really did hook up with a rich woman. How can a real man not admit what he did? You're trying to have your cake and eat it too! Quick! Apologize to your sugar daddy!"

“Yeah, Lao Mo, look at your car and restaurant now, weren’t they all bought for you by your girlfriend? Don’t worry, Chuanmei and I have already discussed it. If you marry into the Liu family, we’ll be your bridesmaids!” Director Wang said with a look of utter defiance and willingness to risk everything.

He Xiaoyue: "That's right, if you include me and the class monitor in the bridesmaid duties, it's not shameful to make money!"

Class monitor: "Quickly apologize to Sister Yuan. We are college students, and we all support you in pursuing happiness!"

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan raised her head even higher, looking incredibly proud.

Lin Mo was furious. She admitted to finding a rich woman, but all her wealth was earned by herself, little by little, through cheat codes! Wasn't that framing her?

"Me, you, you guys"

Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Lin Mo was furious.

Just as he was about to fight these scoundrels, Miss Yuan suddenly made a video call with Liu Ruyan.

[Hehehe~~ This is great, this is great! I want this couplet, it's perfect, I'm very satisfied!]

Liu Ruyan's voice came through the video.

The next second, everyone looked at him, and Miss Yuan said with a smug look, "Well, Mo-zai, what do you have to say now?"

Lin Mo:
That's all gone, everything's gone, what's the point of talking about it? These people's IQs have clearly improved now!
"Little brother~~ I think Yuanyuan is right, you should apologize to her, hehehe!!"

Liu Ruyan laughed loudly.

Seeing this, Lin Mo took a deep breath, looked at the smug Miss Yuan, and gritted his teeth as he squeezed out a sentence:
I'm so sorry!

Miss Yuan: "Ahhhhh, so refreshing!!!"

Lin Mo:
