Episode 5

Lin Chen looked puzzled. "Yes, we honestly think you're a good person, not because you're internet famous! Definitely not because you're with a rich woman! Let's become brothers!"

The guys put down their chopsticks and were dead serious.

Lin Chen: "..."

Looking at their expressions, could they be any more obvious that they just wanted to mooch off of his money? How despicable!

Lin Chen inwardly ridiculed them and then his phone rang.

"Hello? Class monitor? Graduation party? Sure, I'll definitely come. Okay, bye."

Lin Chen was a senior in college, and would graduate in half a month's time. His class monitor Liu Hong had just notified him about a graduation party to be held tomorrow night. After the party, they would all go their separate ways. The guys all knew this.

After the call, there was a moment of silence. The atmosphere was somewhat sad, as everyone knew that after graduation, they might not see each other again.

Seeing this, Lin Chen smiled and said, "What are you guys planning to do next? I heard Old Second has already found a job? It's at an IT company that's gone public?"

"Hmm, an eight-thousand yuan monthly internship salary, with a possibility of becoming permanent that pays ten thousand yuan," Old Second spread his hands, and helplessly said, "though it's a bit low, it will have to do for now. As you know, I am a low-key person."

The guys burst into laughter.

Old Second was obviously showing off.

Lin Chen shook his head and looked at Old Third, "What about you, Old Third? What are you planning to do?"

"I'm going back to help out and work at dad's company," said the third brother as he ate, bearing a bland expression. "Okay, I'll come clean. I'm actually a rich second-generation," he added. Upon hearing this, the brothers did not criticize him, as they knew that his family background was indeed wealthy. He had a family business and company, with no worries about finding a job. It was true that he was a "rich second-generation." Seeing this, the fourth brother shrugged and said, "Then I'm in trouble. My grades are poor, I love to play, and I'm only handsome- nothing else. If nothing works out, I'll just inherit our family's hundreds of acres of fruit land and a few houses." The brothers sneered at him in agreement, then looked towards the fifth brother. His face stiffened as he hesitated and said, "I..." Wanting to join in with the others who were boastful and indignant, he wondered how to surpass them. Others boasted with such confidence, given their family's vast wealth and resources. He, however, would look foolish boasting about his family's mere millions and lacked confidence. Just as he was thinking about this, Lin Chen walked over, smiled, and patted him on the shoulder, "Lao Wu is an honest person, his academic performance is excellent, so he will definitely find a good job in the future. We all believe in you." The fifth brother was touched as he nodded and said, "Yes, once I earn money, I will never forget you guys." The group laughed. They didn't believe what others said, but they believed what the fifth brother said. Finally, the five of them looked towards the last empty bed.

The most mysterious person in the dorm is Old Liu. Since he entered his fourth year of college, he rarely returns to the dorm. When asked about his whereabouts, he remains silent and secretive. His fellow dorm mates rarely see him now. "Do you think Old Liu has been kidnapped?" joked Old Er. "He used to always talk about wanting to find a rich woman and earn money. Has he come across an organ harvester?" Old San shakes his head and suggests, "We don't know anything and we're afraid to ask. Why don't we each light a cigarette and pray for Old Liu?" Everyone agrees and lights a cigarette. In the end, they all turn to Lin Chen. Old Er asks, "Big bro, what are you going to do after graduation? I heard that internet celebrities are making a lot of money these days. Why don't you cash in on your popularity now and make a fortune?" "Yeah, what Second Bro said makes sense. Big bro, why don't you give it a try?" Old San's eyes light up. Recently, internet celebrity has become a popular term. It is said that many online celebrities have become multi-millionaires or even billionaires through short videos. Lin Chen is so popular now, it's a great opportunity. Seeing this, however, Old Si waves his hand and says, "What do you guys know? Does big bro need to become an internet celebrity? Big bro has the female CEO of Jiajia Film and Television Group! Her net worth is in billions! As long as big bro curry's favor with her, his net worth will reach billions in a minute! Do you guys really think big bro needs to become an internet celebrity? Does he really need it?" The group smiled at each other and exclaimed, "No, big bro doesn't need to become an internet celebrity! Big bro is awesome! Powerful and mighty!"

"Lick hard!," said Lin Chen, looking at his brothers while smiling. Although the licking was a bit awkward, it was indeed comfortable. "Boss, tell us, what do you think? Do you want to introduce your girlfriend, the female CEO, to us?" "Yes, our backgrounds are not bad, if her friend is single, we might have a chance," his brothers replied, with their eyes lighting up instantly. It was like seeing everything suddenly become clear. This was a great opportunity to become rich overnight! Then, the conversation returned to the starting point - the second in command walked up to Lin Chen with a serious look on his face and said, "Boss, for the sake of your girlfriend, I'm in!" "Me too!" "And me!" The brothers cheered. "Get out, all of you," Lin Chen laughed and cursed, kicking the second in command, and saying, "Alright, stop dreaming. I'm just friends with Tang Shiyun, the CEO. We're not as close as you think." "As for being an internet celebrity, I have no interest. It's only temporary fame, and when the time passes, it will be gone. I want to contribute to society and become its pillar, spreading positive energy among people." "What? Boss, I don't understand," said the fourth, picking up his cup of water to drink. "Yeah, so what are you going to do?" said the second, picking up a piece of watermelon. The third grabbed some melon seeds. Lin Chen then said, quite seriously, "Let's start with picking up garbage."

"Splash!" The fourth member spat out the water he had just drunk.

The second member's watermelon seeds flew and hit the third member in the crotch.

The third member looked confused as his seeds scattered on the floor.

"What?

Picking up trash?

We thought we misheard you!"

They couldn't believe their ears.

"A talented graduate of Jiang University like you picking up trash?

You must be joking!"

"You don't understand. My ultimate dream has always been to purify the earth, to rid our home of rubbish. If everyone pitched in, the world would be a better place," said Lin Chen, deep and inscrutable.

The others looked at him with skepticism, thinking,

"We don't trust you, you tricky schemer!

You could be a social media influencer or a rich woman's sugar baby, but instead you want to pick up trash?

We're not so gullible!"

But Lin Chen had thought it through.

By cleaning up litter, he could go to many places and meet more people who needed help.

As long as he was doing good deeds, it was worth it.

Plus, he realized that just collecting rubbish might even make him a multimillionaire in no time at all.

"I told you before, but you don't get it.

Come on, let's start up the computer.

We'll help some kids quit their online addiction!"

Lin Chen couldn't tell his friends the real reason for his actions.
