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

After quickly shaking off Lin Mu, Jiang Wan ran into the dormitory, leaning against the door, her chest heaving violently.

"Bang!"

Before she could catch her breath, Fang Leyao pushed the dormitory door open from the outside, almost hitting Jiang Wan's nose.

"Wan'er! Why are you running so fast? Are you feeling guilty?"

Fang Leyao stood with her hands on her hips, followed by the frail Su Mo and Jiang Luming with red eyes.

"I...I'm not guilty, I just felt a bit hot and wanted to come back early to take a shower."

Jiang Wan forced herself to remain calm and smoothed the stray hairs behind her ear.

Don't give me that!

Fang Leyao pulled over a chair, pressed Jiang Wan into the seat, and then she and Su Mo surrounded Jiang Wan from the left and right.

"Tell me honestly! How far have things progressed between you and Lin Mu?"

"Le Yao, I really didn't lie to you about anything..."

Jiang Wan was speechless and could only look to Jiang Luming for help.

"Lu Ming, can you explain this to me?"

"Wan'er, I can't even protect myself right now, sob sob sob..."

Jiang Luming was holding his laptop at the moment, and the QQ chat interface on the screen kept flashing, full of apology emoticons sent by [Yun Danfengqing].

Looking at the chaotic dormitory, Jiang Wan rubbed her temples with a wry smile.

"Wan'er, don't change the subject."

Fang Leyao moved a little closer.

"We saw it all from behind, what exactly did he say to you?"

Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then bit her red lips.

"He...he said that my dad contacted him privately and set a condition for him."

"What are the conditions? Is the bride price ten million?"

Fang Leyao's gossip-loving spirit was burning fiercely.

"My dad told him that if he earns a million in his freshman year of college and becomes a billionaire by the time he's thirty, he won't stop him from pursuing me..."

Jiang Wan's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.

Holy crap!

Fang Leyao immediately swore, and Su Mo was so shocked that he covered his mouth. Even Jiang Luming, who was frantically typing on the keyboard, stopped what he was doing.

"One million?! A college freshman?! Is Uncle Jiang looking for a son-in-law or a god of wealth?"

Fang Leyao gasped.

"What did Lin Mu Nang say?"

He said…

Jiang Wan's face flushed red again uncontrollably.

He said he didn't care how long he had to wait, but the spot next to me... could only be reserved for him.

"Amazing! So awesome!"

Fang Leyao slapped her thigh excitedly.

"Wan'er, your uncle pretends to forbid you two from dating, but behind your back he's even set KPIs for you! He clearly has his eye on this son-in-law and is deliberately putting him under pressure and grooming him!"

"My dad didn't!"

Jiang Wan panicked and immediately pulled out her phone.

"I'll call my dad right now and find out!"

The call connected, and after two rings, Jiang Lin'an's voice came through.

"Hey, Xiaowan, are you done having dinner with your roommates?"

"dad!"

Jiang Wan held her phone angrily.

"Did you secretly contact Lin Mu? You even told him that if you earned a million in your freshman year, you wouldn't stop him from pursuing me?!"

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Lin'an, who was sitting in his study looking at case files, was slightly taken aback.

"He told you everything?"

Jiang Lin'an did not deny it.

"Xiao Wan, now that you know, Dad won't hide it from you. If he doesn't even have this much courage and ability, how can he prove that he can give you a future?"

"Dad! I'm your own daughter! How could you set such an absurd condition for him? Do you think a million dollars is so easy to earn? What if he goes down the wrong path to make money?"

Jiang Wan was so anxious she was almost in tears.

Hearing the "worry" about Lin Mu that his daughter was expressing, Jiang Lin'an shook his head helplessly.

"Nothing's happened yet, and you're already worried about him?"

"I...I'm not worried about him! I'm afraid he'll use your name to swindle and deceive people!"

Jiang Wan stammered as she explained.

"Alright, stop explaining."

Jiang Lin'an smiled.

"The conditions have been set. A man's word is his bond. But if he can't keep his word, you should give up on him and get some rest."

"Beep beep beep..."

Hearing the dial tone, Jiang Wan was completely dumbfounded.

She looked at her three roommates who were staring at her with expressions of utter disbelief, and felt like crying.

Even her father, who has always doted on her the most, has turned against her. How is she supposed to protect herself from that scoundrel Lin Mu during these four years of university?!

……

"Brother Lin! Father Lin! Help! Lu Ming said he's going to cut all ties with me forever!"

Wang Zixing was holding her phone, pacing anxiously on the other end.

Lin Mu had just finished showering and was drying his hair when he uttered a curse without any politeness.

"Look at you, so pathetic. If she really wanted to block you, would she need to waste so much time talking to you?"

Lin Mu rolled her eyes and tossed the towel aside.

"This is when she's at her angrier and more frustrated. The more you apologize, the more she'll feel like you're laughing at her."

"Then... what should I do?"

"Let it air dry."

Lin Mu walked to the table and opened his laptop.

"Don't say a word more than 'good morning' and 'good night' these next few days. Wait until she calms down, then buy some snacks and go to her dorm to apologize. Play the victim; girls always fall for that."

"Will it work...?"

Wang Zixing was skeptical.

"If you don't believe me, fine, go and coax them yourself."

Lin Mu ignored him and looked back at the computer screen.

With military training over, it's time for his "million-dollar plan" to move to the next stage.

Making around 100,000 yuan by selling campus cards and recruiting driving school students is already the limit for university students in the university town. To earn a million yuan in your freshman year, you have to do something big.

Just as he was pondering his next business venture, the webpage refreshed, and a post that had been manually pinned to the top of the Linda campus forum suddenly popped up on the homepage with an eye-catching title.

[Breaking News! A young man from outside the university dared to openly harass a campus beauty during military training! He not only scammed her out of money but also attempted to monopolize the campus card business. The Student Union's External Relations Department has launched an investigation!]

Below the post were photos of Lin Mu looking at Jiang Wan on the side of the playground on the first day of military training, as well as several candid photos of the "Eight Immortals" selling campus cards under various dormitory buildings.

What's even more disgusting is that the poster's words implied that Lin Mu was an ignorant and good-for-nothing hoodlum who used despicable means to force freshmen to sign up for cards, seriously disrupting campus order.

The comments section below has exploded, filled with people stirring up trouble, with some even threatening to expose Lin Mu.

"Oh?"

Looking at this clearly premeditated and organized smear post, Lin Mu chuckled.

Just then, his cell phone vibrated in his pocket.

It was Lu Chengzhou calling.

"Hey, Brother Lin! Something's happened!"

On the other end of the phone, Lu Chengzhou sounded anxious.

"Just now, Zhao Liang, the deputy director of the External Relations Department, led a group to inspect our stall in the second canteen. They said we weren't approved by the school and were illegally setting up a stall. They not only tore down our promotional posters but also threatened to confiscate all our cards tomorrow!"
