Chapter 1108 What I spend is what I inherit

Promoting one's own people and sharing the benefits with them is unavoidable in any industry. After all, there's a saying: "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders."

As a boss, if someone has to earn this money, you'll naturally want someone you're close to to earn it; that's human nature.

Just like when Liu Ruyan wanted Su He to work for her company, it was always because she wanted something for herself.

Even more serious are some family businesses, but family businesses can be good or bad.

The advantage is that there is strong cohesion, everyone is one of us, related by blood or marriage, so it's easy to talk and communicate.

However, the downside is also obvious: since it is a family business, the abilities of the people in each management position will inevitably vary.

It's fine if you have the ability, but if you encounter someone who has no ability but still uses connections to act arrogantly in the workplace, taking all the benefits without doing any work, then you're doomed.

In mild cases, the company's business stagnates and its development deteriorates year by year; in severe cases, it may even lead to the company's bankruptcy.

Unless you have powerful backers, or are employed by a state-owned enterprise or similar organization, you're unlikely to be able to get a safety net.

The next day, Lin Mo rubbed his throbbing head as he got up. There was nothing he could do; all of them had been drinking the day before.

We drank at the karaoke bar, ate barbecue, and drank some more. Although we weren't big drinkers and were all noobs who loved to have fun, we were genuinely happy.

Fortunately, they hadn't drunk too much, and everyone was able to get back. However, the price was that when he woke up this morning, his head was throbbing, as if his head had been wrapped in a layer of plastic.

After washing his face in the bathroom, Lin Mo finally woke up, and the hangover symptoms disappeared.

He glanced at the time and realized he was almost late again, so he hurriedly went downstairs, buying breakfast on the way.

"Teacher, senior sister!"

As soon as he pushed open the office door, Lin Mo greeted everyone naturally.

"Hey? What's wrong with you? Did you oversleep again? You even brought breakfast?"

Looking at the breakfast he was carrying, Senior Sister Shen Qingnan couldn't help but ask.

Lin Mo sat down and nodded, "Almost! I went to bed late last night and almost overslept!"

Seeing him like this, Professor Li and Shen Qingnan exchanged a glance, and then, in perfect unison, each of them reached out a hand and grabbed his wrist.

Professor Li: "Did you drink last night?"

Shen Qingnan: "Beer, and it's ice cold. Junior brother, you have such refined tastes. Is something good happening?"

Professor Li: "Something good? Did you come to your senses and decide to get engaged?"

Shen Qingnan: "Possibly. Not only that, his voice is also a bit hoarse, he's a little feverish. He must be so happy that he's shouting!"

Lin Mo:

I have to say, being with two highly skilled doctors is really stressful. There are absolutely no secrets between you, and you'll even be the subject of all sorts of speculation.

As for his throat, it was entirely from shouting at the karaoke bar yesterday, plus he was a little feverish. When he woke up this morning, his throat was a bit sore, but it was a minor problem, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Little did he expect that this would become evidence of his engagement and his happiness.

"No, no, I just had a small get-together with some friends yesterday. Oh, and I brought gifts for you, teacher and senior sister," Lin Mo said, pulling her hand back and quickly changing the subject.

As he spoke, he placed the wild honey he had brought from his home in front of the two of them.

"Is this...honey?" Professor Li initially wanted to refuse, but upon seeing it, he couldn't help but ask.

Shen Qingnan: "It's still a beehive, what's going on?"

Lin Mo: "To be honest, this is wild honey I recently got, pure wild honey. I was thinking of my teacher and senior sister!"

Both being practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine, they naturally knew that wild honey was a good thing, with medicinal value, and that wild honey was of better quality than farmed honey.

"Purely wild? It's good stuff, but nowadays many people are buying farmed honey as wild honey. Junior brother, you're not being fooled, are you?" Shen Qingnan asked skeptically.

Professor Li examined the beehive, frowning from time to time. He couldn't be sure if it was wild. He could distinguish the quality of medicinal herbs, but this was really a challenge for him.

Seeing this, Lin Mo remained calm. He immediately opened his phone, found a photo of the Sichuan girl with a bruised and swollen face, and handed it over, smiling, "I'm 100% sure, I have video proof!"

Upon hearing this, the two were taken aback, then glanced at the photo and instantly believed it. This was a definite anti-counterfeiting mark; even if the King of Heaven himself came, it would be completely authentic. "Hey? Isn't this... who was it again? Your friend, whose name is..." Professor Li said excitedly, pointing at the photo on his phone.

However, the old man was getting on in years, and although he recognized the woman from Sichuan, he just couldn't recall her name.

Lin Mo nodded: "Yes, it's my classmate, Li Chuan, the one who came to have his pulse checked and his kidney deficiency treated!"

"Yes, yes, that's him. This is terrible. Is he alright? Getting stung by bees is no small matter. One or two stings are okay, but multiple stings could be life-threatening!" Professor Li clicked his tongue and said. Just looking at the photo made him feel the pain.

Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded: "Don't worry, he's fine, he's lively and energetic, and he went to see a doctor to treat it right after being stung."

The girl from Sichuan was stung on Tuesday, and the swelling had already subsided considerably by then. The worst days were Tuesday and Wednesday, when the swelling was much more severe.

"That's good, that's good. It's just a pity that he lacks perseverance. Otherwise, his kidney deficiency would have been cured. Look at you and your other classmate, aren't you all better now?" Professor Li said helplessly.

Lin Mo, somewhat embarrassed and sweating, said, "Ahem, well, teacher, let's not talk about that anymore, it's all in the past!"

After all, it wasn't something to be proud of. Back then, he stayed up all night every day, and nine out of ten men were impotent, and he was no exception.

"Oh? Junior brother has even suffered from kidney deficiency?" Shen Qingnan asked curiously.

You should know that when the two first met, Lin Mo already had a pure yang body. She really didn't expect that Lin Mo's body was formed later in life.

"Of course, you don't know, when I first met Xiao Lin, your junior brother was weak in qi, spleen, and kidneys, and he was incredibly fragile. It was only after treatment that he recovered," Professor Li said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Mo felt a little embarrassed. Shen Qingnan smiled and said to Lin Mo, "Junior brother, not bad. You're still young, and you recover so quickly."

But then again, I was wondering why Li Shiya hadn't been updating much lately; turns out she's been recovering at home. So, are you not planning any more matchmaking events lately?

"Ahem, he said he's not going to do it anymore. He's already done three phases. But you might need to think of other ways to find a partner, Senior Sister. I still think it's more reliable for your family to introduce someone. Chuanzi and his group are just messing around," Lin Mo quickly said, switching to a more professional tone.

In response, Shen Qingnan chuckled and said, "Alright, if we don't want to talk about it, then we don't. Although I have some plans for myself and want to have a child before I turn thirty-three, it's not like I can just marry anyone I meet. This isn't a task to be completed. On the other hand, have you finished your thesis yet? It's due soon!"

Although the deadlines for submitting papers vary from school to school, the university town has a high concentration of schools, so the deadlines are generally similar. As a professor at the university, Shen Qingnan naturally paid attention to this matter.

"I just finished writing it yesterday, so there shouldn't be any problems. At most, I'll need to make some minor revisions," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnan was taken aback: "You're very confident. But speaking of which, the Spring Festival was late last year, which made your semester a bit shorter. You only have a few days left at school. So, what are your plans for the future?"

Your restaurant has great potential. After graduation, you could try opening a branch, or even moving to another location. If you opened one in Beijing or Shanghai, it would be a money-printing machine. Maybe in a year, when we see you again, your teacher and I will be calling you Chairman Lin.

She was quite confident about Lin Mo's restaurant. After all, the taste was undeniable, and they would definitely not lack money in the future. As long as Lin Mo made good plans, the restaurant could establish a brand effect within one or two years after graduation, and the speed at which they accumulated wealth would be unbelievably exaggerated.

"Open a branch? No way! I'm still going to travel after graduation. As for work? I'm quite satisfied with what I have now. As for money, enough is enough. I can't let myself get too tired. I need to enjoy myself first," Lin Mo refused.

Upon hearing this, Professor Li silently advised, "Xiao Lin, don't think I'm nagging. Young people should take advantage of their youth to go out and explore, and not waste their prime years, right?"

I've heard about your girlfriend's family situation. If you don't work hard, you'll be under a lot of pressure!

Since attending Yuan Hua's wedding, Professor Li had heard some things about Liu Ruyan's family.

After all, Professor Li had seen Liu Ruyan's family since they were in the front row.

"No pressure at all? Her parents are quite satisfied with my current situation. They don't need me to be very successful in my career. Besides, I'm not the type to be ambitious. Who would choose to be a kept man?" Lin Mo laughed.

Professor Li: "Then hurry up and get engaged, married, and have children. Otherwise, things might get complicated. Besides, I still believe that you have to be strong yourself. With such a high divorce rate these days, if you two don't get married and then break up, you'll have to stand up for yourself."

Even if not for yourself, you should at least think about your future children, shouldn't you?

Lin Mo: ? ? ?

"Children? That doesn't matter. If I have children in the future, I'll just tell them directly that the family property has nothing to do with them. At most, the inheritance will be related to them."

Shen Qingnan: "What's the difference?"

Lin Mo: "Of course, the family property is mine, and the inheritance is what I have left over. If I have a smooth life in the future, it doesn't matter. But if my family falls on hard times, don't worry, I definitely won't have anything left. So it's best if he doesn't expect anything either."

Shen Qingnan:

Professor Li:

This is the mindset of young people: forward-thinking, with a kind of calm madness.
