Chapter 1302 is slightly better.
Old Zhao set off, driving the car that his three brothers had redeemed for him, straight to XZ. This was both a journey and a form of self-cultivation for him.
It can be said that Chuanmei made the right move, using the desire of a mother who has lost her child to drive Lao Zhao and find him something to do.
Once a person has a goal, their life becomes regular. They only start to overthink when they have free time. That's just how people are.
Of course, this time Lao Zhao didn't stay silent. He would share his daily life on the road in the group every day, and also use his phone to record the people or things along the way. This was a strict requirement from Chuanmei.
In plain terms, it's to see if he's dead or not. Of course, Chuanmei also saved these videos as material, since he had already obtained Lao Zhao's permission. After he finished his trip to XZ and arrived at the Rebirth Stone, Chuanmei used Li Shiya's account to post Lao Zhao's story and made it into a video.
Doing this will at least leave Xu Ying with another trace in this world.
As for Lin Mo and his group, they were quite idle. Since July, when they officially graduated, everyone was like a kite with a broken string, and their connection with the school plummeted.
Now, the only remaining thread connecting us is the cafeteria, which can be described as quite decisive.
Humans are such strange creatures. On the day they left school, several of them were very emotional, reluctant, and regretful. But once they graduated and left school, these feelings could be quickly detached. Some people even started leaving the class group chat.
That's how university is. Even though you've been classmates for four years, some of you haven't even exchanged a few words with each other. Even if you leave the group chat and don't keep in touch with these people, it won't bother you much.
People only care about the departure of those they are close to.
In the past few days, everyone has been preparing for their graduation trip. Of course, they haven't set off immediately yet; they've been doing preparations all day.
Of course, the so-called preparations were almost entirely done by the class monitor and He Xiaoyue. They mainly gathered information on the places everyone wanted to go, then chose routes and prepared travel guides.
That's the difference between men and women. Last month, they went on a trip with Lao Zhao, without bringing anything. They just set off on a whim. A few rough guys like them go out to play, relying entirely on their wild nature and having a general idea of what to do.
Sometimes, they don't even decide where to go tomorrow; it's all on a whim. But girls are different. They have meticulous plans for their travel itineraries, including how many days they will go, how many times they will go, which hotel to stay in each city, how many tourist attractions to visit, and even what clothes to wear for photos at each attraction.
That's why they're so slow. Time flies, and a week has passed. It's Friday, July 10th, and summer vacation has officially begun.
It wasn't just them; after all, they didn't have summer vacation after graduation, but the surrounding universities started their summer vacation.
Students gradually began to leave the school, which saved Lin Mo from having to go to medical school for classes again.
This week, the girls chattered away, and sometimes even Liu Ruyan joined in the discussion. As for Lin Mo and the others, they acted as if nothing had happened, eating and drinking as usual. Lin Mo's restaurant was unaffected and continued to operate as usual.
"Alright, that's about it. Everyone, go back and check what you need to bring, which luggage you need to carry with you, and which items you need to mail."
If there are any new places you'd like to visit along the way, we can discuss them again later. However, try to avoid places that conflict with our route. Simply put, we can visit places that are on our way, but we'll skip those that are a longer route.
In the studio, the class monitor placed a complete travel guide in front of everyone.
Lin Mochuan, Mei Wang, and the other two men stared at the A4 sheet of paper filled with travel guides and fell into silence.
"Hey, what's with those expressions on your faces? Say something!" the squad leader urged.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo picked up the travel guide and took a look. Then he gasped in surprise. It was so detailed, it reminded him of military training in school.
"You've been busy for a week, and this is all you've made?" Lin Mo asked, somewhat surprised, though he didn't understand, but he respected her.
Miss Yuan replied nonchalantly, "Hey, hey, I wasn't involved at all! I just suggested where to go! The rest was all done by the class monitor and Xiaoyue!"
He Xiaoyue raised her chin and said, "What's wrong? You have a problem with this? This is the best solution that the class monitor and I have come up with. This time there are a lot of people and we are going to a lot of places. Including the time lost on the road, it will take at least 20 days."
"After all, we're going out for fun; we can't act like special forces like you guys did last time, can we?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded in agreement. After all, taking Lao Zhao out for a walk last month had exhausted them all. Chuanmei had to stay home for two whole days to recover after returning.
Old Zhao drove back, and his condition was only going to be worse. This time, there were more of them, they were going to more places, and the trip would naturally take longer. Besides, there are different levels of travel, and with the budget maximized, they naturally wanted to focus on the experience.
For example, when you arrive in a city, you can find a hotel, manor, or guesthouse with a good local environment and stay for a couple of days. This way, you can explore more and have plenty of rest time. This is Liu Ruyan's suggestion.
After all, Emperor Ruyan clearly distinguished between the two. Since the trip was about having fun, it was important to make sure that you were comfortable and had a good time. Otherwise, if you were exhausted after a trip, it would be better not to go at all. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, your own experience was the most important factor.
This is the difference in mindset between the rich and the poor. When rich people go out to play, they focus on the experience and make themselves comfortable. When poor people go out to play, they want to visit as many attractions as possible and take as many photos as possible with the least amount of money and time. Taking good photos is what matters.
So don't be fooled by the exquisite travel photos on many people's social media feeds. In reality, they may not have actually visited the places; they were just passing through, let alone enjoying them.
"No, no, how could I have any objections? I just think it's too detailed. You two have worked hard. Go have some fun. Let Chuanzi buy you some more souvenirs!" Lin Mo quickly waved his hand and smiled.
Just kidding. When you go out to play, you'd be happy to have someone take care of everything for you. Even the people who planned the trip didn't complain about how hard it was. What right does someone like him, who's just enjoying himself, have to criticize? He'll just go along with it.
Sichuan girl:? ? ?
"No, why me?!"
"Nonsense, you're their boss. If the company goes out for team building, who will pay if you don't? Do you expect me to pay?" Lin Mo said, shrugging his shoulders.
He's not going to suggest that class monitor He Xiaoyue and the other girl work at his restaurant or hotel anymore. You see, the two girls are earning a lot of money thanks to the commission from the Wangcai account. Even Lin Mo's cousin Su He, just as the deputy general manager of a hotel, earns more than the two of them, not counting the kickbacks from purchasing.
That's why they say you can't get rich by working. Before the Wangcai account's revenue sharing, the group's salaries were only around 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. After all, they couldn't share the revenue sharing from Li Shiya's account with them. But with the Wangcai account, it's different. It's like working for yourself.
In particular, Li Shiya frequently interacts with Wangcai to attract traffic. Wangcai's monetization ability is much higher than other pet bloggers with similar numbers of followers, which has led to a qualitative leap in their income.
"Since that's the case, then it's settled. We'll set off tomorrow, and leave Wangcai with Old Ma for a few days tonight!" Miss Yuan said excitedly.
Lin Mo was taken aback: "We're not taking Wangcai with us? Pet transport is so convenient these days!"
"I'd like to too, but the class monitor and Xiaoyue are worried. They say that every year pets die because of improper transport," Miss Yuan said helplessly, spreading her hands.
Hearing this, Lin Mo looked at the class monitor and the other person. When the class monitor saw his gaze, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "We can't compare to you and Sister Yuan. Wangcai is our lifeline now. We're counting on it to earn money to buy a house. If something happens to it, wouldn't we lose our jobs? It's better to be safe!"
“Exactly, and you think we’ve been working on travel guides all week? We’ve already filmed Wangcai’s material, so even if we go out to play, it won’t stop us from updating,” He Xiaoyue said with a shrewd smile, raising her eyebrows.
Going out to play is fine, but it can't interfere with making money. If it does, the two of them would rather not go out to play at all.
Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded. That was true. Wangcai was now a cash cow for the class monitor and the others. After all, they didn't have their own businesses like they did. If something happened to Wangcai, the value of this account would be greatly reduced.
This is a dilemma faced by many pet bloggers. After all, these cats and dogs have limited lifespans, and if they get sick and die, their income will certainly be greatly reduced, even if they don't lose their jobs.
Therefore, many pet bloggers do not own just one pet, for fear that if something happens to their pet, their account will lose traffic.
“That’s fine. It’s more convenient to leave it with the property management. There are indeed safety concerns with pet transport these days,” Lin Mo said.
Every year, I see stories online about pets dying because of improper handling by shipping companies. Even if you go to court, the other party will only pay some money at most, and there's a lot of hassle involved. It's better not to bring a pet like Wangcai at all; at least it's safe.
Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that there was no problem. Miss Yuan generously booked plane tickets for everyone, which made the class monitor and others extremely grateful.
After all, none of them—Miss Yuan, Lin Mo, Liu Ruyan, and Chuan Mei—were short of money. They didn't care much about who paid more; when going out to have fun, the most important thing was to be happy!
"By the way, Sister Yuan, what have you been up to this week? I haven't seen you much."
After everyone cheered, the Sichuan girl couldn't help but ask curiously.
In response, Miss Yuan laughed smugly, "Of course I'm busy teaching the buffet owner a lesson. I must say, your last blind date was quite a catch. That chubby girl has some talent, but your sister Yuan still has a slight edge, hehe!"
Everyone: (End of Chapter)
