Chapter 990: Chapter 454: Everyone Should Change Their Profile Picture After Getting Into a Relationship (3)

I think it’s quite nice this way, so I agreed. It saves both her and me some trouble," Lin Li explained.

"...Impressive." After a moment of silence, Zeng Ziang could only express his admiration with a sigh,

"So... Lin Li, should I still call you Bai Bufan today?"

"Yeah, yeah, or just call me alias, Tear Bag is fine too." Lin Li nodded.

"Sure."

When the two arrived at the destination, unlike last time, this event was held at a different location, but still in a similar activity room.

When Lin Li and Zeng Ziang walked into the activity room, it was still not crowded.

"Brother Wang!!" Before signing in, the two saw their old friend Wang Baiyu, and Lin Li immediately greeted him excitedly.

"Tear Bag!!" Wang Baiyu was also thrilled, immediately standing up and coming over, "Long time no see!"

"Yeah, long time no see!!"

Seeing such a touching reunion scene, everyone was infected by the cheerful atmosphere, except for the event host, Fu Miao, who didn’t feel wonderful at all.

That feeling began yesterday.

—She was friends with Lin Li’s alias, so even if he turned into Shang Yang, she could still recognize him right away, even if he transformed into the ginger in a stir-fried shredded potato dish.

Therefore, after confirming Lin Li joined the group, Fu Miao foresaw yesterday that today would be troublesome.

Now she felt an ominous pall over her fortune.

Damn it, if Lin Li comes again next month, no matter what, she’d have to find some colleagues to swap shifts with.

"By the way, Brother Wang, can I ask you a legal question," after hugging Wang Baiyu, Lin Li hesitated for a moment, then inquired in a low voice:

"Someone is spreading my photos in reality and online without my permission. Is that illegal? Can I protect my rights?"

Zeng Ziang looked at Lin Li in surprise.

To think that Lin Li, who always maintained a smile, was silently enduring these things behind the scenes. His eyes welled up.

Seeing Lin Li speaking seriously, Wang Baiyu immediately nodded, not mentioning any consulting fee, and directly answered:

"This is definitely illegal. According to Article 1019 of the Civil Code, distributing other people’s portraits without permission is an infringement.

The victim has the right to request to stop the infringement, delete the photos, apologize, and can claim compensation for emotional damage. In serious cases, one can report to the police to pursue administrative or criminal responsibility.

I suggest you first fix the evidence... By the way, where did you see it?"

Lin Li: "A wanted poster."

Wang Baiyu: "Wan—what (;☉_☉)?"

Zeng Ziang chuckled with relief.

I tear at your horse.

"By the way, the wanted poster even falsely accused me of being a fugitive death row inmate. Brother Wang, I want to ask, if I really got sentenced to death, would a death sentence leave a criminal record? Would it affect my future job hunting?"

Lin Li continued to ask, feeling slightly uneasy,

"I still want to take the civil service exam."

Wang Baiyu: "(゜▽゜)?"

A brief silence, during which Wang Baiyu only blinked.

After a moment, with a relieved smile, he couldn’t be bothered to answer these questions and patted Lin Li’s shoulder heavily, lamenting:

"Tear Bag is still Tear Bag! Almost thought you’d turned human after a month of not seeing you! It’s great, you’re just like we know you!"

Meeting Lin Li’s eyes, he burst into laughter, and after signing in, followed Wang Baiyu to a sofa area.

This area now had more than just the three of them.

There were also familiar faces among the remaining people, such as Shao Hengkai, whom they had met last time.

"Where’s Brother Lu and Brother Tang?" Lin Li curiously asked.

Last time, when they came with Zeng Ziang, it was Shao Hengkai who came up to chat, then introduced himself and Zeng Ziang to their little group, which included Wang Baiyu, as well as two others, named Tang Feng and Lu Meng.

But now they couldn’t see them anywhere.

"Tang Feng will be here later, as for Lu Meng, well, he graduated and succeeded in finding a partner, so naturally, he won’t come anymore." Shao Hengkai replied without hiding his envious tone.

"I see, then congratulations to Brother Lu." Lin Li looked enlightened.

It makes sense, except for Wang Baiyu who’s unintentionally single, it wouldn’t be surprising for anyone else to not need blind dates anymore.

"Yeah, he found a pretty reliable matchmaker, two dates and it worked out," Shao Hengkai nodded, although feeling slightly sorrowful himself, "Why is my situation so complicated?

Last time, my neighbor gave me a WeChat contact. I thought she looked great in photos, so I was excited to chat.

Then I opened with a ’Hi, introduced by a mutual friend,’ and she hit me back with a ’mutual friend intro 600,’ damn, it broke my heart.

I hadn’t realized at the time and said, ’What 600? I was introduced by Aunt Zhou for blind dating,’ then she quickly retracted the message and said, ’Oh, for a blind date, dowry 188,800.’

Sigh—"

Tsk tsk tsk.

The dark turmoil from months ago in Xiling still affects Xiling’s underground order.

But human happiness is built on friends’ misfortunes, so upon hearing this, Lin Li and Zeng Ziang eagerly looked at Shao Hengkai and urged, "And then?"

Shao Hengkai: "Then I tried the 600 one, saved 187,000."

Lin Li, Zeng Ziang: "?"

Hey wait a minute.

f*ck, you actually tried it?

But Lin Li, good at math, quickly caught something off and frowned:

"Wait, Brother Shao, once for 600, originally needed 18.88w, then why in the end did you only save 18.7w? Where’s the other 1200?"

Hearing this, Shao Hengkai chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head, and seeing the probing look in Lin Li’s eyes, he nodded:

"The regular’s rate was pretty affordable. After trying it, I couldn’t help but call twice more afterward."

"I think, don’t be too greedy as a person... I was mentally prepared to save 180,000 and thought it was worth it..."

Lin Li, Zeng Ziang: "..."
