Chapter 59

Originally, he was prepared to just find any university as a stepping stone to leave his hometown, but he never expected the other party to directly offer such a tempting condition.

However...

Lin Mu: Hehe, thank you for your kindness, no need to trouble yourself, let's cooperate in the future!

Cheng Xiong's sneering face instantly became extremely interesting, as if...

As if he suddenly saw a fool, and was influenced to become a fool himself...

Cheng Xiong: Do you know what you're refusing?!

A university admission letter!

A high school student might be indifferent to fame and fortune, which is normal, but who would refuse the opportunity to enter an excellent university?!

Not good at studies, from a poor background, and facing this golden opportunity, you actually refuse?

Are you even a normal person?!

Do you even have any self-awareness as a poor student?!

At this moment, Cheng Xiong was so angry he almost wanted to curse. He had spent a great deal of effort to secure an admission spot, thinking he would thus subdue Lin Mu, making him a valuable asset. But who would have thought he would encounter a fool!

This feeling was like King Wen of Zhou finally seeing an old man fishing with a straight hook by the river, only to find out it wasn't Jiang Ziya, but an old man with dementia!

Lin Mu could clearly feel the anger from the other side, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and made the final refusal.

Lin Mu: Sorry, that's it...

After saying that, he opened the other party's profile and deleted the friend...

Seeing the other party's refusal, Cheng Xiong, who was about to reply, suddenly found the chat box on the screen disappeared.

He was stunned, thinking he might have accidentally pressed a shortcut key to close the chat box, but when he checked the recent messages, he realized...

He had been unfriended...

Damn! You actually dare to unfriend me!

With bloodshot eyes, Cheng Xiong slammed his fist on the table. If there had been a dog nearby, it would have suffered a terrible fate.

The president of the "Martial Arts" club, countless novelists, usually all considered themselves extraordinary, but when they saw him, they all smiled and said flattering words.

This damn kid not only refused his kindness but also unfriended him!

"Damn it!"

Fuming, Cheng Xiong decided to demand an explanation and sent another friend request.

Seeing the other party quickly accept, Cheng Xiong was about to start cursing when the chat box disappeared again.

"Damn, again?"

Fuming, Cheng Xiong sent another request, determined to get an explanation.

"Sorry, you have been added to the other party's blacklist, friend request failed!"

Bang!

The keyboard was smashed onto the screen...

...

Lin Mu, who had blacklisted the other party, sighed in relief. He had finally gotten rid of him, but the other party's attitude definitely meant a big argument. Lin Mu was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

If not for this reason, he wouldn't have directly blacklisted him, completely offending him.

University was very tempting to him.

But as he had thought earlier, reputation was the most important thing for him now, and there was no room for negotiation.

As for university, it was optional and did not affect the fundamentals.

Having thought this through, Lin Mu had no regrets. Next, it was time to act as he pleased!

"Hey, Editor Lin, it's me, One Page Book!" Lin Mu called Lin Shuiqing.

Lin Shuiqing had already guessed Lin Mu's intention: "You never call unless there's something important. This time, it's about the year-end bonus, right?"

Lin Mu hummed, since he already knew, it saved him the trouble of explaining.

"This is unfair to you, I know, and I have appealed on your behalf. But Lin Mu, listen to my advice, endure this temporary humiliation. When you achieve success, those who wronged you will naturally come to apologize!"

Lin Mu was silent for a while. Just as Lin Shuiqing was about to urge him again, Lin Mu spoke.

"Thank you, Editor Lin, for your care all along, but I can't endure this humiliation, and I don't want to. I have a short temper and can't wait for them to admit their mistakes! Since 'Martial Arts Stories' is suppressing me, let's end our cooperation!"

Lin Shuiqing hurriedly tried to retain him: "Lin Mu, don't be so impulsive! Young people who want to succeed inevitably have to endure some humiliation. Look at Di Yun, he suffered greatly before becoming a great master!"

"I just can't stand the humiliation from these scoundrels! If others like to endure humiliation to succeed, let them do so."

"I, Lin Mu, will be the one who smacks these scoundrels in the face while moving forward!"

...

Lin Mu: "Hey, President Zhu Zhengting?"

Zhu Zhengting was enjoying a cigarette: "Oh, Little Lin, what's up?"

"Nothing, just that the New Year is here, I want to say a few words to President Zhu..."

With a sneer, Zhu Zhengting guessed Lin Mu was coming to apologize and smiled: "Sure, go ahead."

Lin Mu took a deep breath, and all his words burst out in an instant: "You damn scoundrel who suppresses newcomers, you fatso who deserves to be a perpetual second, your mother must have been in heat when she gave birth to you, you stupid thing, you dare to trick me, I'll make you regret it for life, or I won't be called One Page Book! Damn big fool!"

"Beep beep beep beep..."

The color of Zhu Zhengting's face instantly turned from rosy to dark purple...

...

After cursing, it was indeed more satisfying than holding it in.

Lin Mu was usually very laid-back, even with someone like Chang Qiankun, he was too lazy to curse, just giving him a lesson.

But this time, Zhu Zhengting truly made him feel disgusted.

Writing was already an exhausting job, and there were always some scoundrels in the world who thought they were high and mighty, suppressing others' work as if it were their right!

When the suppressed person resisted, these scoundrels would fly into a rage, calling them "ignorant" and "unaware of the rules"!

Pah!

Such scoundrels and despicable people really thought they were someone, thought they could control everything, thought they could ruin someone's future and prospects just because they wanted to?

Not wanting trouble doesn't mean being afraid of trouble. Since this scoundrel dared to provoke him, he would have to deal with him from now on.

Moreover, Lin Mu's cursing wasn't just to vent his anger; more importantly, it was to dig a hole for the other party...

Opening a chat group, these were all short story authors.

There were veteran authors who regularly published serials, and newbies who occasionally got lucky with a short story.

One Page Book: Today is so frustrating, damn, I'm frustrated to the point of spitting blood...

Lin Mu's reputation in this group was already at the level of a god. After all, "Martial Arts Novels" had been pushed to the top of the industry by Lin Mu, and that was after defeating the short story god, He Shuo.

It was like in a group of web novel authors, a bunch of newbies were sharing H-pictures, and suddenly a tomato appeared and made a comment, immediately changing the topic of the entire group...
