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

Outside the West Lake Hotel, a black Lexus was parked on the side of the road.

The car window rolled down, and a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses greeted him expressionlessly.

"Get in the car. Director Jiang wants you to wait for him there for a while."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu froze, his brows furrowing instinctively.

Wang Zixing, standing next to him, trembled with fear and looked at Lin Mu with a terrified expression.

"Lin, Brother Lin, what have you done?!"

"Screw you, you go first, I'll text you later, don't dawdle."

"Oh, Lin-ge, remember to send me a message!"

After seeing Wang Zixing off, Lin Mu took a deep breath, then opened the car door and plopped into the car.

The air conditioning in the car was on full blast, and the middle-aged man in the front row didn't say a word, just quietly tapping the steering wheel.

"Uncle, if I may ask, what brings Uncle Jiang to see me?"

Lin Mu smiled and took out a cigarette, offering it to the middle-aged man in the front row.

You'll find out soon enough.

However, the middle-aged man simply waved his hand, refusing to reveal any information.

Seeing this, Lin Mu silently put away his cigarette, and a vague guess formed in his mind.

"My father-in-law is calling me, most likely to talk about Jiang Wan. There's no other way right now, we can only wait..."

Lin Mu shook his head with a wry smile.

"Did they still find out? I was careful enough..."

For the next twenty minutes, Lin Mu kept thinking about how to deal with Jiang Lin'an.

Twenty minutes later.

"Click."

Just as he was feeling extremely uneasy, the car door was opened.

Jiang Lin'an, reeking of alcohol, got into the passenger seat.

"Xiao He, you've worked hard."

"Director Jiang, this is what I should do."

After Jiang Lin'an entered, he first greeted the driver. Only after the driver got out of the car did he take a deep breath and look ahead expressionlessly.

"Uncle Jiang..."

Lin Mu had just put on a smile and was about to greet him when Jiang Lin'an raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Don't give me that platitude."

Jiang Lin'an took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and lit it.

Then he silently looked out the window until he finished his cigarette.

"Lin Mu".

"exist."

Lin Mu immediately sat up straight, knowing that the main topic was finally about to begin.

Jiang Lin'an stubbed out his cigarette and stared at Lin Mu in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"You have a lot of clever tricks and are quite bold, but the competitiveness you're showing right now, by my standards, is far from meeting my expectations."

The playful smile on Lin Mu's face had vanished, replaced by a solemn expression. He didn't ask Jiang Lin'an what his standards were, but he already knew perfectly well what they were.

Jiang Lin'an turned his head and stared straight at Lin Mu.

"I'm asking you, do you have feelings for Xiao Wan?"

"call……"

Lin Mu took a deep breath and then nodded decisively.

"Yes, I'm not blind. She's so outstanding, it's impossible for me not to have feelings for her."

Upon hearing this straightforward answer, Jiang Lin'an closed his eyes and nodded silently.

But then, he suddenly frowned seriously.

"It's fine to have ideas, and I won't interfere with Xiaowan making friends, but there are two prerequisites you must remember."

"Please speak."

Lin Mu's breathing quickened slightly, and he leaned forward a little.

Jiang Lin'an raised his hand and gently tapped the glass twice.

"First, Xiao Wan herself said that she would not date before graduating from university. During these four years, if Xiao Wan does not agree, you are not allowed to cross that line."

Lin Mu's fingers trembled slightly, and he swallowed unconsciously.

"Second, make Xiaowan fall in love with you openly and honestly."

Jiang Lin'an stared at Lin Mu, who was already breathing rapidly.

"If you can't do these two things, leave Xiaowan as soon as possible."

After hearing Jiang Lin'an's words, Lin Mu suppressed a laugh and lowered his head.

"What's the difference between this and not saying anything at all?! Aside from restricting my physical contact, there are absolutely no other difficulties!"

Jiang Lin'an then chuckled.

"If Xiaowan really likes you, I won't stop you from being together, because I respect my daughter. I've never refused her anything since she was little, so of course I won't refuse her choice of who to be with."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu suppressed her smile and looked up at Jiang Lin'an.

"But I have a few requests that I hope you can meet. Of course, even if you don't meet them, as long as Xiaowan chooses you, I will still wish you both well. But as a father, I hope..."

Jiang Lin'an looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"I understand, Uncle Jiang. I get what you mean. Just tell me, and I'll do my best to complete it."

Lin Mu could tell that this was a father's unspeakable love for his daughter.

Jiang Lin'an sighed and took out another cigarette to light.

"First, earn one million through legitimate means before the end of your freshman year. Then, earn five million in your sophomore year, ten million in your junior year, and over one billion before you turn thirty. This is a test of your abilities."

"Second, after successfully transferring from a junior college to a bachelor's degree program, you should continue your studies to at least a master's degree."

Jiang Lin'an exhaled a puff of blue smoke.

"How about it, can you do it?"

"Any words I say now are just empty talk, Uncle Jiang. Just watch my performance; I definitely won't let you down!"

Lin Mu patted his chest with a serious expression.

"Well, but all of this is contingent on Xiao Wan choosing you. That's all for now, you can go back."

"Okay, goodbye Uncle Jiang."

Lin Mu turned around and got out of the car, a smile returning to his lips.

He took out his phone to let Wang Zixing know he was safe and then headed towards the bus stop.

"My father-in-law has spoken, Wanza, you really can't escape now."

Lin Mu looked meaningfully at the West Lake Hotel.

Then, he boarded the bus that had just pulled into the station.

……

Since his conversation with Jiang Lin'an, Lin Mu's enthusiasm has increased exponentially. For the next few days, he has been working frantically on one thing: studying.

"What?! I have to memorize over 3000 words?! I'm speechless!"

Time flew by and it was August 28th, the start of the new semester at Lin'an University.

On the way to Linda University, Lin Mu hugged Wang Zixing and poured out his grievances.

"My biggest regret is not studying hard in high school! I spent two weeks burying myself in books at home just to figure out what phonetics were. English is so damn hard!!!"

"Lin, Brother Lin, shouldn't Uncle Jiang's first standard be even harder? Why aren't you worried at all?"

Wang Zixing's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he spoke in a trembling voice.

"For a mediocre student like me, getting into graduate school is no easier than making money. But you, you're just trying to meet someone, right? Look at yourself."

But Wang Zixing couldn't listen to any of it; he was trembling with nervousness.

"Lin, Brother Lin, do you think Lu Ming will... if he sees me?"

"What a load of rubbish, Xing! Don't embarrass yourself!"

Seeing Wang Zixing's cowardly appearance, Lin Mu immediately rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.

"Brother Lin, how dare you say that to me? Xiaoqian wanted you to ride with her to see Jiang Wan off, why did you refuse?!"

Wang Zixing retorted, stammering.

"Star, you just don't understand."

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow and waved his hand in the air.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to resist teasing Wanza in the car. You know, I have the worst self-control."

"That's all, we've arrived."
