Chapter 13: Did that woman Liu Ruyan flirt with you?

Don't say that, but Yuan Meng's words really gave him a hint. If the things he bought on shopping platforms had the same effect on others, then there would be many more ways to make money in the future.

Take the sulfur facial cleanser he was using now, for example. The product description claimed it could develop a "first love face" in seven days. But what about after those seven days? Would it still work?

Furthermore, it was obvious that the cleanser wouldn't be used up in just seven days. Could the remainder be given to others? Would it have the same effect?

Lin Mo's thoughts suddenly began to diverge. He felt as if the road ahead was paved with gold coins. Wasn't he about to strike it rich?

He had originally felt somewhat disappointed that nothing of value had turned up over the past two days, but now, he didn't feel bad at all.

How much could gold and silver actually be worth? If this facial cleanser worked on others, setting aside everything else, he could support Yuan Meng alone. After all, in the future, he could just send all the good stuff to her—and that woman certainly wasn't short on money.

In the end, Lin Mo agreed to bring her some to try tomorrow, but he didn't accept any money.

Even though Yuan Meng wasn't lacking that bit of money, he believed in not accepting rewards without merit. What if that sulfur cleanser only worked on him?

It was better to wait until everything was settled; after all, Yuan Meng wasn't going anywhere.

At 10:30 AM, Lin Mo had finished his morning work and was slacking off when a woman, who was the General Manager's secretary, stopped in front of his workstation holding some documents.

"Lin Mo, right?"

"That's me."

"Follow me. President Liu wants to see you."

Hearing this, Lin Mo was startled. Did the Great Empress Ruyan want to see him?

*She couldn't be that petty, could she? It was just a few words of bravado. Is a high-level leader like her really going to come looking for trouble with a lowly intern like me?*

After all, he couldn't imagine any reason for Liu Ruyan to see him other than that incident. As for "living off a woman" like Zhang Wei suggested, that was nothing but a pipe dream.

He immediately glanced at Yuan Meng, signaling with his eyes for her to think of something. After all, if you have connections and don't use them, you're a fool.

Receiving his plea for help, Yuan Meng lived up to her reputation as a loyal "big sister" and spoke up directly: "Did President Liu say what it was for?"

The female secretary shook her head. "I'm not sure. However, President Liu met with several interns and several employees on probation today. It's likely a discussion regarding their continued employment."

Hearing this, Lin Mo breathed a massive sigh of relief. As long as she wasn't looking for trouble, it was fine.

Besides, his internship period was indeed nearing its end, and he was still waiting for his internship certificate to be stamped.

Lin Mo nodded to Yuan Meng, then stood up and followed the beautiful secretary.

He had been at the company for a while, but this was the first time he had spoken to this beautiful secretary. Naturally, he didn't know her name, but that didn't matter. To him, she was just an NPC he had encountered in a game.

The former General Manager's office was now being used by Liu Ruyan. The secretary opened the door, and Lin Mo nodded to her before walking in.

"President Liu."

Lin Mo offered his greeting. Although he was a college student, he wasn't an idiot; he couldn't exactly call her "Empress Ruyan." He knew how to address people by their titles at work—he had seen it on TV.

"Mm. Sit down first. Oh, and pour me a glass of water."

Liu Ruyan looked at the documents in her hand with a slight frown, casually handing her water cup over.

Lin Mo hurriedly stepped forward to take the cup, filled it at the water dispenser, and placed it back. He then stood there awkwardly, unsure whether to sit or leave.

After taking a sip of water, Liu Ruyan's brow relaxed slightly. She looked up at Lin Mo standing there in embarrassment and let out a light chuckle. Setting down her documents, she spoke

"Sit. Don't be nervous." As she spoke, she pulled out another document, glanced at it, and continued: "Lin Mo. Jiangning University of Science and Technology, Computer Science major, junior year. Your internship ends on the 28th of this month, right? Do you have any plans?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head.

What plans could he have? Go back to school, of course. He still had a year left.

Seeing him shake his head, a smile appeared on Liu Ruyan's face, and her tone relaxed further: "You should know that I'm acquainted with your cousin, right? We were college classmates and are very close. Consider us family, so I'll be blunt.

Considering your good work performance and my connections, the company can offer you a direct position. Of course, knowing you haven't finished your studies, you can take leave whenever you have school matters to handle.

As for benefits, with me here, you will definitely receive the standard for a full-time employee. Of course, your duties might change later on. What do you think?"

In university, they say it's four years, but most students only stay for three because seniors spend their fourth year at job fairs; very few stay on campus.

Most internships happen in the junior year, and Lin Mo was one of them. His original plan was to intern in his junior year, go through recruitment in his senior year, and finally graduate after finishing his thesis—becoming a corporate slave.

If the "Purchase Page" hadn't appeared, he would have accepted Liu Ruyan's offer without a second thought.

Employment for college students is so difficult these days. To have a company wanting you before graduation, with someone backing you up—it was a perfect deal.

But things were different now. If he became a corporate slave without a "cheat," but then became a corporate slave *with* a "cheat," wouldn't the "cheat" be a waste?

"Uh, President Liu, I still want to finish my studies first. I haven't considered work matters for the time being," Lin Mo said with a shy smile, but he still declined.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan was stunned. She believed the offer was quite excellent, especially with the personal connection involved. As long as Lin Mo's abilities were up to par, he could at least reach a management level under her in the future.

After a moment of thought, Liu Ruyan leaned her body to the side, propping her chin on her hand, and said with a playful smile, "Who exactly is at your school? A girlfriend?"

"No? I've never even dated!"

"Let me tell you, when looking for a girlfriend, you should find someone older. She can be your boss by day and treat you like a treasure by night."

Lin Mo: "..."

Seeing Lin Mo's face rapidly turn beet red, Liu Ruyan suppressed a laugh and continued

"Fine, I respect your wishes. If you want to come here after graduation, you can come anytime."

"Okay, thank you, President Liu."

Having said that, Lin Mo fled with a flushed face. *Ruyan*... she was too much; he couldn't handle it!

As soon as Lin Mo stepped out, Liu Ruyan burst into laughter. Teasing her best friend's younger brother like this felt wonderful, though it was a bit of a pity he was leaving so soon.

Just as Lin Mo returned to his workstation, before he could even sit down, Yuan Meng looked at him and asked, "Why is your face so red?"

Startled and feeling guilty, Lin Mo replied forcefully, "I'm just feeling refreshed!"

"Heh~ What happened? Did you get caught looking at something dirty again?"

"Hehe, just some protective wax!" Lin Mo quickly replied, trying to change the subject.

But in the next second, Yuan Meng's voice drifted over eerily

"Did that woman Liu Ruyan tease you?"

Lin Mo was somewhat surprised. He looked at Yuan Meng, his gaze drifting down toward her chest, and said, "I must say, Sister Yuan, you look very intelligent!"

"Of course I do. Wait... are you daring to call me flat?"

"A galloping horse..."

Lin Mo: "..."
