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

"Brother Lin, what are you standing there for?"

"Nothing much, I just suddenly feel like I'm going to get rich."

Lin Mu waved his hand casually, then put his arm around Wang Zixing's shoulder.

"Xing, how's your relationship with Luming going?"

"Hmm? Is Wang Zixing in a relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zihao, who was in front, immediately came over.

"Did you meet her in the driving school group? What does she look like?"

"I...I..."

Wang Zixing's face slowly turned red.

"Alright, why are you asking about this stuff? Get lost."

Lin Mu impatiently dismissed the gossipy classmates, then pulled Wang Zixing to an empty table to sit down.

"Xing, tell me honestly, are you confident you can win Jiang Luming's heart?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zixing immediately looked uneasy. Finally, he asked the question that had been troubling him.

"Lin, Brother Lin, I initially approached Lu Ming as a senior from her school. School starts soon, what if I get caught?!"

Wang Zixing picked at his fingers and added another sentence.

"Besides, I'm not handsome enough to be a good match for Lu Ming..."

"Xing, didn't I tell you? Insecure people are the cheapest. If you don't even respect yourself, who else can you expect to respect you?"

Lin Mu smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't talk about whether you're a good match or not. Take me for example, did you believe I could win Jiang Wan's heart in the first place? Tell me the truth, if you lied to me, I'd kill you."

Wang Zixing lowered his head silently, and after a few seconds he raised his head again and nodded seriously.

"To be honest, Brother Lin, I didn't believe it at first, but now I definitely do!"

"Hehehehe..."

Lin Mu tapped the table with satisfaction, then frowned and fell into deep thought.

A few minutes later, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he wrapped his arms around Wang Zixing's neck.

"Star, what you're doing..."

……

"Distinguished guests, welcome to Ms. Jiang Wan's college admission celebration."

Not long after Lin Mu told Wang Zixing how to cover up the lie, a beautiful emcee with a broadcasting voice stood on the stage.

Upon seeing this, Lin Mu and Wang Zixing immediately walked to the student table and sat down. Wang Zixing's eyes were burning with desire as she breathed heavily, her heart filled with excitement for Lin Mu's plan.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder she's a 3,000 yuan emcee, she's really pretty."

Lin Mu sat on the stool and looked at the emcee on the stage, nodding in agreement.

"Buzz—"

After a brief opening speech, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling beam of light shone down on the audience.

Under the lights, Jiang Wan, holding up the hem of her pure white dress, looked like an ethereal fairy as she slowly stepped onto the stage to the accompaniment of melodious music.

The entire venue fell silent instantly, and all eyes were focused on her. She was dazzling and beautiful, so much so that people dared not look directly at her.

"Sister Wan'er is so beautiful!"

Lin Qian sat in the audience, a crab leg dangling from her mouth, and shouted with shining eyes.

After Lin Qian started clapping, the others followed suit, and the audience erupted in applause.

Thank you everyone.

Jiang Wan held the microphone, pursed her pink lips, and bowed slightly to the audience. Then her clear and melodious voice rang out.

"Thank you to all the elders, friends, and classmates who took time out of their busy schedules to attend my graduation celebration. I would also like to thank my parents..."

Jiang Wan spoke eloquently on stage, while Lin Qian echoed her loudly below, her fawning manner giving Lin Mu a headache.

"Hey Lin Qian, you lapdog, can you stop embarrassing me?"

Lin Mu moved to the side with a look of disgust.

After Jiang Wan went on stage, Lin Qian found Lin Mu and sat down next to him with a grin.

"Hmph! If you're so capable, why don't you become Wan'er's lackey?! I can't be bothered arguing with someone like you."

Lin Qian rolled her eyes at Lin Qian in annoyance.

"I think you really need to be taught a lesson!"

Lin Mu was furious at the thought of the beatings he had received over the past few days, and he immediately reached out and grabbed Lin Qian by the back of the neck.

"You're too lazy to bother with someone like me? Are you any different from me?"

"Ah! What are you doing?! Don't scratch me! Hahahaha..."

Meanwhile, Jiang Wan was halfway through her usual speech when she suddenly saw Lin Mu lecturing her "little follower" in the audience.

She puffed out her cheeks in anger, then her eyes darted around, and she immediately changed the subject.

"This summer, besides relaxing, I also got a taste of the realities outside the ivory tower. Some people showed me what it means to 'not play by the rules,' and at the same time, I realized that 'thick-skinned' is indeed very useful in society. At least, being thick-skinned makes it less likely to suffer losses."

"Hehehe..."

A few good-natured laughs rippled through the audience. The elders and leaders looked on with admiration, thinking that Jiang Wan was sharing some minor setbacks and insights she had encountered during her summer social practice.

Only Lin Mu, sitting at the edge table, raised an eyebrow, while Jiang Lin'an, sitting at the main table, frowned.

Jiang Wan's gaze swept across the entire room, pausing for half a second as it passed over the corner where Lin Mu was.

"I also want to thank a friend who tempered my will. Through his 'test,' I became deeply aware of my mindset issues."

Jiang Wan's voice resounded throughout the venue.

"Holy crap..."

Lin Mu paused in scratching Lin Qian's hand, staring at Jiang Wan on the stage with a strange expression.

Jiang Wan slightly raised her chin.

"Furthermore, we must restrain our desires. Some things cannot be obtained through shamelessness and joking around, such as positions beyond our capabilities..."

Jiang Wan changed the subject, and everyone thought she had skipped over "a certain friend," but Lin Mu just raised the corner of his mouth.

"You're implying something about me? Fine, Wanza."

Lin Mu grinned.

A few minutes later, Jiang Wan finished her speech and stepped off the stage amidst thunderous applause.

As soon as Lin Qian saw Jiang Wan step off the stage, she immediately turned around and broke free from Lin Mu's grasp, stuck out her little tongue at him, and then happily went to find Jiang Wan.

Amidst the boisterous applause, Lin Mu smiled meaningfully.

He picked up his drink and, across the noisy crowd, raised it towards the girl in the distance.

Lin Mu finished his drink in one gulp, stood up, and patted Wang Zixing, who was still engrossed in dealing with the lobster.

"Stop eating, it's time to go."

"Huh? Brother Lin, I've only taken one bite of this lobster!"

Wang Zixing reluctantly wiped her mouth.

"I'll take you out to eat every day from now on."

"Okay."

Wang Zixing stood up and followed Lin Mu toward the door.

"Lin Mu, Wang Zixing, are you leaving?"

Seeing the two about to leave, Zhang Yuan asked them a question out of curiosity.

"Well, goodbye everyone, see you next time."

Lin Mu took off his suit jacket, casually draped it over his shoulder, and walked towards the door without looking back.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lin'an, who had just finished toasting with the mayor at the main table, saw Lin Mu leave and silently took out his phone to send a text message.

Outside the banquet hall, Lin Mu looked up at the dazzling sun and muttered a speechless complaint.

"It's so damn sunny."

"Lin Mu".

Just then, a Lexus stopped in front of Lin Mu.
