So what if I only have a junior college degree? It won't stop me from marrying the bureau chief

Lin Mu's voice grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.

Jiang Wan, her face flushed, rushed into her house and slammed the living room door shut with a loud bang.

She leaned against the door, her chest heaving violently.

After calming down, she finally realized that the situation was not good.

"Oh no, oh no! If Mom and Dad hear this, I'll be in deep trouble!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan's palms sweated nervously.

She carefully changed into her slippers, then peeked out and looked towards the kitchen and the second floor.

"Dad? Mom?"

Jiang Wan called out tentatively twice, but there was no response from the huge villa.

She tiptoed to the dining room and saw several dishes covered on the table, with a sticky note next to them.

[Xiaowan, Mom is going to cover two piano lessons for her students. The food is on the table; heat it up if you get hungry. Driving practice must be tiring. — Love, Mom]

Upon seeing the note, Jiang Wan's tense nerves finally relaxed.

She let out a long sigh of relief, then went to the bathroom to wash her face.

"Jiang Wan, you've really lost your composure today!"

She patted her face in the mirror, and after she had completely calmed down, she began to reflect on the problems of the day.

"Lin Mu has no bottom line and is good at sophistry. Any emotional rebuttal will play right into his hands and become a bargaining chip for him to take advantage of you."

Jiang Wan pouted and her eyes darted around.

"The best retaliation is to ignore it!"

She picked up a towel to dry her face and stared intently at herself in the mirror.

"Starting tomorrow, no matter what Lin Mu says, you are not allowed to pay any attention to her! Otherwise... you'll be forbidden from eating braised pork for a month!"

……

At 3 PM, in front of "Xiaolin Milk Tea" shop.

Lin Mu lay leisurely on the rattan chair, blowing smoke rings.

"Brother Lin, the water's here."

Wang Zixing ran over with two glasses of lemonade, then placed a stack of photocopied registration forms on the table.

Lin Mu, biting on a straw, casually flipped through the registration form.

"Hey Xing, are these the most handsome and richest guys in this batch? They don't even look as good as me."

"...Brother Lin, these are the ones I think are the most handsome. Why don't you pick some more?"

"Fine, that's fine. You can't expect everyone to be as handsome as me."

Lin Mu finished his lemonade in a few gulps, then stood up and walked toward the milk tea shop.

"Come on, let me give you a practical lesson."

Lin Mu, holding the registration form, led Wang Zixing into the milk tea shop.

In the bubble tea shop, four stylishly dressed girls were chatting together on a sofa by the window.

Lin Mu recognized them; they were all from Lin'an No. 1 Middle School. They usually liked to stick together at school. Of course, whether he knew them or not was not important.

"A few beautiful ladies are chatting."

Lin Mu walked over and naturally pulled out a chair.

"Lin Mu?"

One of them recognized Lin Mu and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"What's up?"

"It's nothing, just asking if you've registered your driver's licenses. If not, you can contact me, and I'll give you a discount."

"discount?"

One of the girls happened to be planning to get her driver's license, so she asked, "How much does it cost?"

"Three thousand."

"So expensive?!"

The girl immediately frowned.

"Everyone else is paying 2,800, did you really offer a discount?"

"To tell you the truth, other people get paid 3,500 here because I drive an air-conditioned car for both the second and third stages of the driving test."

"This...it shouldn't be 200 yuan more expensive, right?"

Seeing her hesitate, Lin Mu casually spread the registration form in his hand on the table.

He looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before quietly explaining to everyone.

"Quite a few handsome men and beautiful women have signed up with me; it's probably the best time to find a partner!"

Not yet. After Lin Mu finished speaking, he pretended to hesitate for a moment, as if he had made up his mind.

"Fine! Since you're both so pretty, I'll only charge you two thousand eight! But you're not allowed to tell anyone!"

Under Lin Mu's guidance, the four of them exchanged glances, all their hearts fluttering.

"Oh, by the way, Jiang Wan also signed up with me. It's such a shame that beauties of your caliber don't come to me!"

"I'll sign up! I'll sign up!"

"I want to sign up too!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, the group was overjoyed and began scrambling to pull out their money.

Seeing all four of them pull out their deposits, Wang Zixing, who was standing to the side, almost popped his eyes out.

"When will I be able to talk as much as Brother Lin?"

Wang Zixing swallowed hard and looked at Lin Mu with admiration.

"Xing, what are you standing there for? Collect the money."

It wasn't until Lin Mu reminded him that Wang Zixing belatedly stepped forward.

"Oh, give me the deposit. If you don't have it, you can write an IOU first."

……

It was evening at Lin Mu's house.

Lin Mu and Wang Zixing sat in the living room, with the deposit they had received that day, totaling more than 60,000 yuan, on the table.

This afternoon, the two of them visited almost every milk tea shop in the city and made a fortune, with a net profit of 18,000 yuan.

"Brother Lin, we've hit the jackpot!"

Wang Zixing's hands were trembling as he counted the money, staring in disbelief at the red bills in his hand.

"At this rate, you could buy a house in a month!"

"What kind of dream are you having? Where are you going to find so many people learning to drive?"

Lin Mu counted out nine thousand yuan from the pile of money and pushed it in front of Wang Zixing. He was annoyed.

"Here, this is yours."

Seeing the thick wad of banknotes in front of him, Wang Zixing's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he subconsciously swallowed.

However, in the end, he took a step back and decisively shook his head.

"No, no, no! Brother Lin, this is too much! I didn't do anything, this money is too hot to handle."

"Just take it, why are you being so hesitant?"

Lin Mu stuffed the money directly into his pocket and then put his arm around his shoulder.

"You saw me recruiting people these past two days. Next time you recruit, you'll still be the one working hard. This money isn't hard to come by; it's what you deserve."

"Brother Lin, I..."

"Damn, you're acting like a woman. Are you going to take it or not? If not, I'll tear it apart and you can hear the noise, you believe me?"

Finally, Wang Zixing choked up, her eyes reddening, and solemnly put the money away.

"Thank you, Brother Lin!"

Seeing that Wang Zixing had put the money away, Lin Mu nodded in satisfaction.

"I should be thanking you, Lao Wang."

After seeing Wang Zixing off, Lin Mu went to the balcony and lit a cigarette.

He watched Wang Zixing walk away, turning back every few steps, clutching his pocket tightly, until he disappeared around the street corner.

"Like a fool."

Lin Mu chuckled softly, and Wang Zixing's honest face flashed through his mind.

He still remembers how good Wang Zixing was to him.

In his past life, Wang Zixing lent him all her savings to help him pay for his mother's hospital bills.

It was Wang Zixing who lent him money despite the pressure from his family when he couldn't pay the rent.

In total, Lin Mu owed him more than 20 yuan, which he never managed to repay.

Debts from the past life must be repaid in this one. Lin Mu was determined to make a fortune with Wang Zixing.

"Star, let me show you how to make a fortune!"
