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

With Director Wang's sentencing and Zhao Liang's departure, the situation at Cultural Square took a dramatic turn.

The freshmen who had previously been swayed by the negative posts on the forum now had completely changed their expressions.

"Brother Lin! It's exploded! It's completely exploded!"

Lu Chengzhou was holding a thick stack of registration forms in his hand.

"The number of cards we processed in the last half hour is equivalent to the total of the previous two days! Many second- and third-year students heard about the discounts and came to apply for cards too!"

"Stay calm and make sure Zihan and the others maintain order. Don't let things get chaotic."

Lin Mu leaned back in his recliner, grinning with satisfaction.

A sponsorship fee of 20,000 yuan was an enormous sum of money in university in 2009, something that ordinary students wouldn't even dare to dream of.

But this money bought a "protective charm" from Lin'an University and a sure-fire way to make money.

With this official endorsement, his campus card business will face no further obstacles, and the next two weeks will be the golden period for reaping huge profits.

"Brother Lin..."

Just as Lin Mu was calculating the accounts, a weak voice sounded from beside him.

Wang Zixing, sporting two huge dark circles under her eyes, squatted beside the recliner, looking utterly hopeless.

"What the hell?! What are you doing here?"

Lin Mu was startled when he saw Wang Zixing suddenly appear.

However, Wang Zixing did not explain, but simply took out his phone and shoved it in front of Lin Mu.

"I just sent Lu Ming over a hundred apology text messages, and she hasn't replied to a single one... Am I completely finished?"

"Cold my ass."

Lin Mu glanced at him sideways.

"She's furious right now; the fact that she hasn't rushed down and attacked you is a testament to her good temper."

"What should I do?"

Lin Mu kicked him in exasperation.

"Go to the dessert shop outside the West Gate and buy a strawberry mousse cake, then go to the flower shop and get a bouquet of baby's breath. Take the cake and stand downstairs at her dorm. Don't send any text messages, just wait. When her roommate can't stand it anymore, your chance will come."

"Will this... will this work?"

"Nonsense! Even a strong woman can be won over by persistent suitors, especially a girl like Jiang Luming who has a lot of inner monologues. Hurry up and go buy it!"

After sending Wang Zixing away, Lin Mu raised his head, glanced in the direction of the girls' dormitory, and a smile appeared on his lips.

……

Girls' dormitory room 502.

"My goodness, this plot twist is so exciting!"

Fang Leyao sat cross-legged on a chair, holding half a watermelon.

"That Zhao Liang is usually so arrogant in the student council, but Lin Mu completely stunned him! Twenty thousand yuan! He didn't even blink!"

Su Mo nodded as well.

"Senior Lin is so reassuring. He's not only rich, but also incredibly shrewd. He's got everyone under his control."

Jiang Wan sat at her desk, reading a book, but her pen remained motionless for a long time.

She had always felt that Jiang Lin'an's condition of "earning one million in freshman year" was to make things difficult for Lin Mu, and she was even prepared for Lin Mu to give up.

"Could it be... that he really can do it?"

Just then, Jiang Luming suddenly poked his head out of the bed, pointed out the window and exclaimed.

"Le Yao! Mo Mo! Come quick! There's an idiot downstairs!"

Fang Leyao and Su Mo quickly went to the balcony to look down.

By the flower bed below the girls' dormitory, Wang Zixing stood under the blazing sun, holding an exquisite cake box in her left hand and a large bouquet of baby's breath in her right.

"Isn't that Wang Zixing?"

Fang Leyao chuckled and turned to look at Jiang Luming.

"Hey, Lu Ming, your 'calm and collected' senior has come to apologize!"

"I'm not going! I don't want to talk to him! He's a liar!"

Jiang Luming pulled his head back under the covers, but after a while, he couldn't help but peek out again to look downstairs.

"Buzzing—"

The atmosphere in the dormitory was lively when Jiang Wan's phone on her desk suddenly vibrated.

Jiang Wan took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"what?"

"Wanza, look out the window."

Jiang Wan subconsciously walked to the balcony and looked down.

Under a tree a dozen meters away from Wang Zixing, Lin Mu held a phone in one hand and waved the iced tea in his hand at her with the other.

"Come down here. If I don't see you in five minutes, I'm going upstairs to the girls' dormitory and making a public announcement over the loudspeaker saying that you accepted my mom's fruit and are now denying it."

"You dare!"

"Guess if I dare? There are still four and a half minutes left."

Lin Mu chuckled and hung up the phone.

"That scoundrel..."

Jiang Wan gritted her teeth, cursing as she walked to the wardrobe.

She subconsciously changed out of her loungewear and put on a pair of light blue jeans and a clean white T-shirt. Before leaving, she even tidied her hair in front of the mirror.

"Hey~ Wan'er, didn't you say you didn't want to talk to him? Why are you changing your clothes before coming downstairs?"

Fang Leyao winked and made faces at the side.

"I...I went to yell at him!"

Jiang Wan blushed and ran out of the dormitory.

Three minutes later, Jiang Wan ran downstairs, panting.

She deliberately put on a stern face and walked up to Lin Mu.

"What do you want? I'm only giving you three minutes. I need to go back and review my English."

"Why are you studying English on a weekend?"

Lin Mu shoved a glass of iced tea into her hand.

"Drink up. Aren't you thirsty after watching all that excitement in the square?"

"I...I wasn't watching the commotion, I was just passing by!"

Jiang Wan's eyes darted away.

Lin Mu didn't expose her, but walked to her side and gestured for her to walk along the tree-lined path on campus.

The two walked side by side under the shade of the trees, a gentle breeze carrying the faint fragrance of gardenias.

"I've already taken care of that guy named Zhao Liang."

Lin Mu took a sip of iced tea.

"Actually... you don't need to spend that 20,000 yuan."

Jiang Wan held the iced tea, lowered her head, and said softly.

"It's too much of a waste to spend money just for a petty argument. That's all money you worked so hard to earn."

Hearing the undisguised concern in Jiang Wan's words, Lin Mu couldn't help but chuckle.

He stopped, turned around, and stood in front of Jiang Wan.

"Wanza."

Lin Mu's eyes suddenly turned serious.

"I spent 20,000 yuan not for a petty argument, but to buy my way in."

Lin Mu reached out and gently pinched a stray strand of Jiang Wan's hair.

"I know you think the 'one million' goal that Uncle Jiang set for me is a pipe dream."

"But I'm telling you today, this goal will be achieved in two months at most."

Jiang Wan raised her head, her clear eyes reflecting Lin Mu's face.

"So, she's the most beautiful girl at Jiangda University."

Lin Mu suddenly lowered his head and leaned close to her ear.

Are you dating anyone?

Lin Mu: "Don't worry everyone, I'll be revising everything starting from Chapter 51. I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to write. I sincerely apologize again!"

"Once I recover in a few days, I'll update at least 6000 words a day. I'm begging you all..."
