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

The next morning, at the cultural square of Lin'an University.

Although military training has ended, the square was bustling with people on the weekend.

However, what attracted the most attention today was not the clubs recruiting new members, but the largest booth in the very center of the square.

The giant banner read: [Exclusive Sponsor for Freshmen at Linyi University – Exclusive Distributor of China Mobile/China Unicom Campus Cards]

In front of the stall, the "Eight Immortals," led by Lu Chengzhou, were on high alert, ready for battle.

A crowd of students had already gathered around to watch the spectacle, pointing and commenting on the stall.

The negative post on the forum last night went viral all night, and everyone knows that the student council is going to deal with this "off-campus hoodlum" today.

"Why hasn't Lin Mu arrived yet? Those bastards should be here soon."

Lu Chengzhou rubbed his hands together, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

"What are you afraid of? Brother Lin said he has a plan, so we just need to set up the stall."

Zihan was chewing on a lollipop, looking fearless.

"Make way! The Student Union's External Relations Department is checking for illegal street vending! Everyone, move aside!"

Just then, a shout came from the periphery of the crowd.

The crowd automatically parted to form a path.

A young man with a slicked-back hairstyle and a "Deputy Minister" badge hanging around his neck walked in with four or five staff members.

This person is Zhao Liang, who posted the defamatory message against Lin Mu.

Zhao Liang walked up to the stall, glanced at Lu Chengzhou and the others, and then sneered.

"Didn't I warn you yesterday? You're not allowed to set up stalls on campus to scam new students without the school's approval! And you dare to set up such a big stall? Do you really think the school is your private property?"

Zhao Liang waved his hand, and several of his staff members were about to step forward and overturn the table.

"Wait a minute."

Just at this critical moment, a voice came from behind the stall.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lin Mu lying on a recliner, then slowly standing up.

"You're that troublemaker from outside school who's been relentlessly pestering Jiang Wan?"

Upon seeing Lin Mu, Zhao Liang's face was filled with sourness.

"Let me tell you, this isn't a place for social scum like you to run wild! Today, I'm not only going to smash up your stall, but I'm also going to kick you out!"

However, Lin Mu was not angry at all; instead, he stared at him with a mocking expression.

"Social scum? Exploiting new students?"

Lin Mu stepped forward.

"Vice Minister Zhao Liang, is that right? You're quite good at stirring up trouble on the forum. It's a waste of your talent that you're not in the Chinese Literature Department. But, do you have any evidence that I violated regulations by setting up a stall?"

"Does this even need evidence?! The External Relations Department has no record of your approvals at all!"

Zhao Liang shouted sternly.

"That's because you're too low-ranking to access core secrets."

Lin Mu sighed and curled his lip in disdain.

He took a file folder from Lu Chengzhou and slammed it on the table with a "thud".

"Look closely, this is the general agency contract for the university town that I signed with the telecom operator. Which eye of yours saw me cheating freshmen?"

Zhao Liang was stunned for a moment, then let out a cold laugh.

"So what if you have a contract? This is Linda University! Even if you're the general agent, you can't set up a stall here without the school's permission!"

"You really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

Lin Mu chuckled, pulled another official document from the file bag, and shoved it directly at Zhao Liang's face.

"Open your dog eyes and look! What kind of seal is this?"

Zhao Liang looked closely and saw that it was stamped with the large red seal of the "Lin'an University Communist Youth League Committee".

The document is titled: "Approval Letter for Sponsoring the 2009 Linyi University Welcome Party and Establishing an Exclusive Campus Communication Service Point".

"Yesterday afternoon, I personally donated 20,000 yuan to the Youth League Committee of Linyi University for the stage construction of the welcome party in half a month. In return, the Youth League Committee teacher personally approved this booth for me and specially approved me as the 'Official Welcome Partner'."

Lin Mu leaned forward slightly.

"I'm a sponsor that Linda University invited in. You, a mere deputy director of the external relations department, a nobody, dare to sabotage the university's sponsorship? Who do you think you are?"

"This...this is impossible!"

Zhao Liang looked at the official seal, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Where did you get 20,000 yuan in sponsorship fees from a street vendor?! This seal is definitely fake! Help! Take action!"

As he spoke, Zhao Liang waved to the people behind him and was about to step forward again to dismantle Lin Mu's stall.

"Zhao Liang! You've gone too far!"

Just as Zhao Liang was about to make his move, an angry shout came from outside the crowd.

A middle-aged man walked over with a stern face, followed by several people in security guard uniforms.

"Director Wang..."

Zhao Liang's lips twitched when he saw who it was.

"As a student leader, you openly spread rumors and smeared the school's partners on the forum without conducting any investigation or verification. Now you even dare to bring people to cause trouble? Who gave you that right?!"

"Director Wang, I...I thought he was..."

Zhao Liang broke out in a cold sweat and was at a loss for what to do.

"Don't assume what you're thinking!"

Director Wang waved his hand dismissively.

"From this moment forward, you are dismissed from all your posts as deputy head of the External Relations Department! Go back and write a 5,000-word self-criticism and submit it to the Youth League Committee! If the sponsors pursue legal action against you for spreading rumors, the school will punish you severely!"

"Whoosh—"

The students watching immediately erupted in a frenzy.

As Zhao Liang was led away by the security department in a dejected manner, cheers immediately erupted from the surrounding crowd.

Lin Mu stood still, slowly took out a lighter, and lit a cigarette.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the crowd.

Jiang Wan, Fang Leyao, and Su Mo, the three girls, were staring blankly at the figure in the center of the square.

"Oh my god..."

Fang Leyao swallowed hard, her eyes wide as saucers.

Su Mo was also filled with amazement.

"Senior Lin... he's really amazing. He's not only resourceful, but also incredibly smart."

Jiang Wan stood there, listening to her roommates' sighs, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

For the past two weeks, she had assumed that Lin Mu was just having minor squabbles outside, but it wasn't until now that Jiang Wan truly realized the truth.

"The condition Dad set—'earn a million in his freshman year'—might not really be just empty talk for him."

Just as Jiang Wan was deep in thought, Lin Mu in the center of the square seemed to have noticed something.

He raised his head, his gaze passing over the crowd, and finally landing on Jiang Wan.

The "Boss Lin" who had just completed a brilliant counterattack suddenly raised his eyebrows at Jiang Wan in a flamboyant manner, then raised his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and made a "salute" gesture in front of his forehead.

Jiang Wan's breath hitched, and her cheeks instantly flushed crimson.

She lowered her head, grabbed her roommate's hand, and walked out.

"That bastard...all he does is show off!"

"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..."
