Chapter 1142 A Worthy Opponent!

At Lin Mo's age, to be honest, everyone is interested in dating, regardless of gender. After all, they are young, strong, energetic, and have plenty of time. It's impossible for them not to want to find a partner.

Before college, it's called puppy love, and parents don't allow it. Although there are still quite a few puppy love cases now, it's legal after college!

Not only is there nothing wrong with it legally, but even parents won't object and will even support it. At this age, it's reasonable to want love or be curious about the opposite sex's body. It's even normal to go to a hotel to book a room. But when it comes to marriage, people of their age don't have any thoughts about it.

It's as if marriage wasn't part of their script at all, at least not in the last few years.

Even though Lin Mo has now achieved financial freedom and both sets of parents are very satisfied and want him and Liu Ruyan to get married as soon as possible, to be honest, he still doesn't really want to get married.

This is determined by his current age and experience. Not to mention him, many people in their thirties still subconsciously think of themselves as children.

But Zhang Wei is different. His goal is very clear: he wants to date so that he can get married. He is not even interested in girls who only want to date and don't care about marriage.

It can be said that among all the people Lin Mo knows, he is the one with the clearest intention to get married and the strongest desire to do so.

"Sister Yue, this one will do, this one will do too, yes, yes, but not too pretty, I can't handle it."

Come on, Sister Yue, have some water. Sister Yue, have some fruit. Sister Yue, you…

In the studio, Zhang Wei fawned over He Xiaoyue like a lackey, showering her with utmost flattery.

Miss Yuan: "Shameless!"

Lin Mo: "Shameless!"

The two men spat as they watched this scene; it was a disgrace to their Eternal Trident. Otherwise, how could Zhang Wei be the handle of the trident?

"Alright, the video we updated last night has already gone viral today. I just checked it, and the Jiangning police have already reported on it."

The response has been very positive, but because we were in a rush, we didn't include any advertisements. "Sichuan girl, what's our plan for this month?" the class monitor asked with a smile.

He Xiaoyue has a lot of female resources. Although they no longer make dating-themed works, the dating section function has been retained. Fans can also find partners in the group or in the comments section.

However, whether these connections are good or bad is none of their business. Simply put, even if they encounter someone who cheats them out of money or sex, they can only accept it themselves.

You should know that they conduct thorough background checks for all those offline social events they hold, including checking people's jobs, education, home addresses, ID numbers, and so on, just in case there are scammers around, and they'd have someone to look for them if anything happens.

Besides, what does it have to do with her if Zhang Wei wants to find a partner? She already has a partner, so she doesn't feel anything about it.

"This month, we still need to have some goals. We still have some material from a while ago. While the momentum is still there, let's update one or two more works in the next couple of days," Chuanmei said.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang couldn't help but advise, "Shouldn't we make a few more videos about Lao Mo? I think netizens are very interested in it!"

"I can handle the rest by doing a live stream occasionally. After all, the matter has been pretty much settled. Wang Xiu and Yang Yanhong both left this afternoon, and the parties involved have disappeared. Why are we still holding on to it?"

"Besides, didn't you see they're about to sue us for infringing on their portrait rights? Even though Sister Yuan is helping us take the blame, we can't go too far. Moreover, Sister Yuan is going to resort to underhanded tactics. If we post anything here, it'll easily attract attention," Chuanmei explained.

Lin Mo listened from the side, nodding occasionally, thinking that this was a reasonable approach. Although a sneak attack from behind wasn't a nice word, it was the most effective tactic.

"No, what do you mean by 'using underhanded tactics'? Can't you speak properly!" Miss Yuan immediately became displeased upon hearing this.

Upon seeing this, the Sichuan girl quickly corrected herself: "Yes, yes, I misspoke. Sister Yuan is doing this to rid the people of a scourge; it's the will of Heaven!"

Squad leader: "Shameless!"

Director Wang: "Pah, shameless!"

It must be said that there are some people in their small group who can rival Zhang Wei. The two are evenly matched in their obsequiousness and sycophancy.

One of them was trying to find a wife, while the other was trying to curry favor with his sugar daddy.

"Then you guys will have to work hard this month. You might have to revise your papers, finalize them, and even defend them. This month won't be easy," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Normally, the defense takes place in May or June. At their school, for this major, the defense usually takes place at the end of May or the beginning of June.

After the thesis defense, students will need to take graduation photos, attend the graduation ceremony, and receive their diplomas. Those who are employed will have their files transferred, while those who are unemployed will have their files returned directly to their place of origin.

But in short, the thesis defense is the last hurdle before graduation. Once they get past this hurdle, everything else will be minor issues. "Thesis defense? So, Old Zhao is coming back soon, right?" Chuanmei asked upon hearing this.

Lin Mo nodded: "Pretty much. Unless he has special circumstances, he will have to come back to defend his thesis. He will stay at school for a few days. Once he passes the defense, our class can take graduation photos and get his diploma, which will be considered as officially graduating!"

Thesis defenses can be conducted online, but this depends on the regulations of each school. Under normal circumstances, thesis defenses are mainly conducted offline, with online methods as a supplement. Of course, in special circumstances, such as when someone is unable to return from another city due to some reason, they can apply for an online thesis defense.

"That's good. I'll ask Lao Zhao tonight when he plans to come back," the Sichuan girl said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Mo sighed: "Then you might as well pay more attention to the specific date of our defense. By the way, class monitor, did the counselor mention it in the group chat?"

"It hasn't been sent yet, don't worry, I'll let you know when the counselor sends it out," the class monitor said.

Although she doesn't pay much attention to school announcements anymore, she still cares a lot about something as important as graduation. Even if the advisor doesn't notify others, she will be notified separately so that she can inform the whole class.

Hearing this, the others felt a great sense of security. Sure enough, having a class leader nearby made them feel at ease, ensuring they wouldn't miss any messages in the group chat.

You know, every year some students leave right after their thesis defense, which leads to them having to extend their studies. They've worked so hard for so many years, and even if their academic qualifications aren't great, they don't want it to be for nothing, right?

"By the way, has Old Zhao responded recently?" Director Wang asked from the side.

Chuanmei: "Nonsense, Lao Zhao isn't dead, how could he not reply? Since after the New Year, I've occasionally sent him messages, and he's always replied, he just doesn't talk much in the group anymore!"

"What are you saying? It seems like no one has been talking in our dorm group chat for ages!" Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him.

They all live in the same neighborhood, and now there are three more girls: the class monitor, He Xiaoyue, and Miss Yuan. They hardly ever chat in the group anymore; if they need anything, they call, or if all else fails, they just knock on the door.

"It doesn't matter. When Lao Zhao comes back, we'll go pick him up together and have a welcome-back party. We've all gotten back on our feet, so we have to show off. I'm going to drive my Maybach!" Chuanmei laughed.

Lin Mo and Wang Chu seemed to be imagining Lao Zhao's surprised expression at that moment. They exchanged a smile and glances, clearly showing that they also missed their roommate very much.

(After all, what character can be constantly mentioned by others?)

"Just these few, right? Are you sure?"

Just then, He Xiaoyue's voice came, and everyone turned their attention to her. They saw Zhang Wei nodding repeatedly, smiling like a 200-pound fat man.

"Yes, yes, that's all. Sister Yue, could you ask around and see which one is willing to meet with me?" Zhang Wei quickly replied.

He Xiaoyue: "Okay, no problem. In a bit, please write down your photo, job, income, place of birth, whether you plan to stay and develop in Jiangning, etc. I need to introduce you to others, so please make sure you explain everything clearly!"

"Understood, of course, I'll write it right away!" With that, Zhang Wei took the form handed to him by He Xiaoyue and began to fill it out.

Seeing this, everyone exchanged glances and then quickly gathered around He Xiaoyue.

Miss Yuan: "Which ones has Fatty already set his sights on?"

Lin Mo: "Exactly! Let's see Viagra's ideal type too!"

Sichuan Girl: "If you ask me, Xiaoyue, could you please send these to a few more girls besides these? What if there are even better ones?"

Squad leader: "Casting a wide net to catch more fish is a good method!"

With everyone chiming in, they finally saw the information on the girls Zhang Wei had his eye on—five in total.

The youngest is 24 and the oldest is 30, but without exception, they are all ordinary-looking and not particularly hot. As for their jobs, some are sales clerks, some are employees of cold drink shops, some are company clerks, real estate salespersons, etc., and their income is not high.

Just by looking at them, they seem very genuine and reliable. Of course, that's just based on appearance; to truly know what a person is like, you need to meet them in person to find out for yourself.

"Oh... Fatty, so you like this kind of thing?" Miss Yuan said with some disappointment.

The information on these girls was far different from the images she had imagined. After all, even Lin Mo had found someone like Liu Ruyan. As her henchman, she felt that Zhang Wei couldn't be too much worse. Even if she didn't find someone at the same level as Liu Ruyan, she should at least be close to her. At most, she could only check two or three levels. She couldn't accept anything worse.

But she didn't even consider what level Liu Ruyan's conditions were among girls. She was definitely one of the very top-tier girls. Her figure, appearance, family background, personal abilities, income, and education were all top-notch.

Even those who are two or three levels below her are still definitely top-notch beauties!

Zhang Wei: →_→

"I'd also like to find a Miss World beauty pageant winner, Sister Yuan, do you have any connections?"

Miss Yuan:
