Chapter 10

　　Coming out of Wang Mingzheng's office, Lin Shuyue glanced at the number of days of her remaining life on the system.

　　Twenty-eight days left.

　　But the countdown for the limited-time task has begun, and now, the number that is decreasing second by second makes Lin Shuyue's scalp tingle.

　　Time is running out, and she has to enter the Internet Addiction School as soon as possible to complete the system tasks.

　　However, she need to do some preparation before going.

　　Lin Shuyue first went to the management office and showed the custodian the approval slip for filming equipment stamped by Wang Mingzheng, then signed to confirm and received the professional equipment needed for the undercover investigation.

　　One of the most important equipment is the secret camera, and there are also two recorders.

　　Then go to the Finance Department and follow the same process as above.

　　According to the normal process, the investigation must be completed before various invoices and application slips can be submitted to the finance department for reimbursement.

　　Of course, that's the norm.

　　With Wang Mingzheng's support, Lin Shuyue did not need to obtain invoices for the investigation she was conducting. With his signature, seal and escort, it was naturally handled as a special matter and no one questioned it.

　　Even if there is any, they have to hold it in. Now Lin Shuyue is a hot commodity in front of the editor-in-chief. Who dares to offend her without some outstanding reports? Old employees who have worked in newspapers for many years have seen many strange things as reporters. They are all slick people.

　　Seeing that Lin Shuyue was valued by the newspaper's top leader, everyone naturally wanted to get along with her. Seeing her go to the management office and then to the finance office, someone asked her casually, "Xiao Lin, what big news did the editor-in-chief arrange for you to investigate? Our funds are tight, and he still approved your investigation expenses in advance?"

　　At this time, Li Weisheng also came out of Wang Mingzheng's office.

　　He walked towards his workstation without looking around, but his body slightly tilted towards Lin Shuyue, with his ears perked up.

　　Those who had not yet left the newspaper office all had their eyes vaguely fixed on Lin Shuyue.

　　Unexpectedly, Lin Shuyue, a girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes who looked innocent, smiled widely and winked playfully: "Secret."

　　Everyone was immediately disappointed and started to denounce her.

　　Lin Shuyue smiled and walked out of the newspaper office.

　　After coming out of the elevator, she took out her cell phone and called Lou Fengqin and Lin Shuxing respectively to report her business trip in the next few days.

　　The two did not react much. After all, ever since Lin Shuyue became a reporter, they gradually understood the particularity of this profession.

　　Especially Lin Shuxing, she once saw her sister answering a phone call and then going out with a camera in the middle of the night. So, they just told Lin Shuyue to eat on time and take care of herself, and then they went about their own business.

　　After hanging up the phone, Lin Shuyue felt a little worried. If they knew that the reporter who captured the murderer in the Suishan Village murder case was her, they might not be so easy to talk to.

　　Forget it, when the enemy comes, we will just block the flood with earth. We'll talk about it when the time comes.

　　•••••

　　The original owner had a driver's license, so Lin Shuyue went to a car rental company and rented a Jetta. According to the address on the flyer, she drove all the way from the bustling city to the sparsely populated suburbs.

　　There are many factories here, but few people live there. After driving on the road for 20 minutes, we finally arrived at our destination.

　　Lin Shuyue turned off the car and got out.

　　At this time, she had already changed her appearance.

　　She looked to be in her thirties, with heavy and delicate makeup, a pair of black-framed glasses, a well-tailored suit, and a small bag with the LV logo on it. She gave off a cold and oppressive aura of a headmaster.

　　She looked at the school in front of her with a cold and indifferent face.

　　Above the spacious gate are several large gold-plated characters that read "Pengcheng Superior Internet Addiction Treatment School". Next to the gate is a guard room. Next to the window of the guard room is a piece of red paper, which is the school's recruitment notice.

　　The school is looking for drivers, male only, between 30 and 50 years old. It is also looking for handymen, female only, around 45 years old.

　　The security guard in the guard room had already seen the car. When he saw the woman getting out and looking around the school, he quickly made a phone call and then trotted out.

　　"Hello, who are you looking for?"

　　Lin Shuyue's eyes fell on the security guard and said, "I'm from Yangcheng. I saw your school's enrollment advertisement on the Internet, so I came to investigate on the spot."

　　The Superior Internet Addiction Treatment School has advertised a lot and well. Some parents are worried about their children's learning situation and want to come and see the school in person.

　　The security guard has seen it all: "Parent, please come in."

　　From the moment Lin Shuyue got off the car, the secret camera installed in the handbag in her hand started to work.

　　Lin Shuyue nodded indifferently and walked inside with the security guard.

　　Xiao Changxin, the principal of Superior Internet Addiction Treatment School, has apparently visited Shandong and Henan provinces to learn from them.

　　The rented factory is very large. As soon as you enter the door, there is a small front yard with several vans and a small truck parked in it. Passing the parked cars, you will reach the office building.

　　The office building has two floors. The first floor is the office and the second floor is the staff dormitory.

　　Lin Shuyue was introduced into the office building. There were many articles on Confucianism posted on the walls, which made the building look very profound.

　　A beautiful lady dressed in intellectual attire came over, led Lin Shuyue into the principal's office with a smile on her face, and then hurried out.

　　There was no one in the principal's office. Lin Shuyue sat down on the guest sofa and looked around with a critical eye.

　　The principal's office was decorated very tastefully, with all mahogany furniture, even the sofa used for entertaining guests had mahogany armrests. There were many traditional Chinese paintings on the walls, most of which were famous quotes encouraging learning.

　　Behind the desk is a mahogany display cabinet with many ornaments on it.

　　Lin Shuyue continued to look, and then she saw a steel bar about one meter long in the corner behind the antique display cabinet. Lin Shuyue looked more closely, and a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head pushed the door and walked in, smiling and looking very kind.

　　"Ma'am, I'm sorry. I was busy dealing with something just now. I'm sorry for the delay. Please take a seat. Please take a seat."

　　Lin Shuyue adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose, still without a smile on her face: "I don't mind at all. Principal Xiao is too polite."

　　Xiao Changxin sat in the host seat opposite Lin Shuyue and poured Lin Shuyue a cup of tea.

　　Lin Shuyue picked up the teacup and wet her lips, then said, "Principal Xiao, my time is limited, so I won't beat around the bush with you. I have a son, fifteen years old, who has been addicted to online games and online dating since the beginning of the year. His father and I have taught him many times, but he still refuses to change."

　　"To be honest, I was very attracted after seeing your school's recruitment resume on TV. I also asked my friends and they said that after sending their children to your school, they changed a lot when they returned home and even stopped using computers."

　　"After much consideration, I came to your school to conduct this unannounced visit. Originally, the child's father was also going to come, but he had to work temporarily and couldn't leave, so I had to come first."

　　When Xiao Changxin heard that Lin Shuyue had a friend whose child had been reformed in his internet addiction school, his smile became even brighter: "Parents are worried about their children, so it's reasonable for you to come and inspect. After all, as parents, we should always keep a close eye on every level for our children."

　　"Ms. Lin is quite busy, so I won't take up any more of your time. Come on, I'll show you around the campus ."

　　Xiao Changxin stood up and walked outside with Lin Shuyue.

　　Entering from another exit of the office building is another world.

　　A concrete playground came into view. There were two basketball hoops in the middle of the playground, and a plastic track surrounded the basketball court. Next to the plastic track was a high wall, about five meters high, with many broken glass on it.

　　There are two buildings on both sides of the office building, one is labeled teaching building and the other is labeled dormitory building.

　　It was afternoon at this time, and the sound of reading aloud came from the teaching building. Lin Shuyue listened carefully and found that it was the "Encouragement to Study" in the Analects of Confucius.

　　Xiao Changxin took Lin Shuyue to the teaching building to have a look.

　　The teaching building was very clean and spotless. It had two floors. The first floor was the classroom. A group of boys and girls in physical training uniforms sat upright at the desks, their eyes fixed on the blackboard in front of them.

　　Lin Shuyue always kept her identity in mind, and when she saw this scene, she smiled.

　　Then, Xiao Changxin took Lin Shuyue to the second floor to see the multimedia classroom and the activity room. There were four or five rows of bookshelves in the activity room, and the bookshelves were full of books. There were many desks in the open space outside the bookshelves, and many books were scattered on them.

　　Coming out of the activity room, Lin Shuyue's eyes fell on the two innermost rooms on the side and asked Xiao Changxin: "Principal Xiao, what classrooms are those?"

　　Xiao Changxin glanced over there and said, "It's the infirmary and the art room. Teenagers are very active, especially boys. They always like to play basketball during their extracurricular activities, so bumps and bruises are inevitable. With an infirmary, parents and teachers can feel more at ease."

　　Lin Shuyue went over to take a look.

　　The infirmary was divided into two rooms. On the shelves of the outer room were many commonly used trauma medicines. A doctor in a white coat was quietly reading a book inside. The door of the inner room was also open, but it was hung with a white curtain with a red cross printed on it. Through the lower half, Lin Shuyue could only see a few iron beds.

　　The door to the art studio was locked, but one could still see the paints, easels, and half-finished paintings inside through the windows.

　　After visiting the teaching building, they went to see the dormitory building.

　　Each dormitory in the dormitory building is equipped with a bathroom. There are twelve people living in each dormitory. The bed sheets and the rooms are all neatly arranged. There is not a single thing that little girls usually use in the girls' dormitory. It is so rigid that it makes people feel depressing.

　　Xiao Changxin rubbed his hands and said, "Funds are tight, funds are tight, so we can't do a good job with the dormitories."

　　Lin Shuyue nodded coldly: "I understand."

　　After looking at the cafeteria again, Lin Shuyue followed Xiao Changxin back to the office with a satisfied look on her face.

　　After exchanging a few pleasantries with Xiao Changxin and promising to send the child over on the weekend, Lin Shuyue walked out of the school. An instructor hurried into the principal's office.

　　Lin Shuyue got into the car, started the engine and backed away. When the security guard was closing the door, she saw Xiao Changxin and the instructor walking inside, one holding a ruler and the other holding half a steel bar.

　　Lin Shuyue drove away.

　　She returned to the city, returned the car to the rental company, and then headed straight to the mall.

　　She walked around the three-story shopping mall from the first floor to the third floor, spent hundreds of dollars to buy a lot of cosmetics, and went to the Digital City of Sankou, where she spent all the rewards from the system and the bonuses from the newspaper. She also spent hundreds of dollars of the original owner's savings to buy several secret cameras.

　　Lin Shuyue, who became a pauper, did not go home but just found a hotel on the street to stay in.

　　After a dreamless night, Lin Shuyue got up early the next morning to put on makeup.

　　As a post-00s generation, Lin Shuyue has been surfing the Internet since she was a child. During the summer vacation of her first year in junior high school, she became very curious about makeup. Her grandfather doted on her and knew that she wanted to learn, so he bought cosmetics for her without telling her grandmother and her father.

　　As time went by, short video platforms became more and more developed, and there were more and more beauty bloggers. Lin Shuyue began to get in touch with special effects makeup. She was particularly interested in it and learned it very enthusiastically.

　　After entering college, she always got excellent grades in the course of makeup concealment!

　　Lin Shuyue took various tools and applied them on her face skillfully. Two hours later, a woman in her forties, dressed in rustic but clean clothes, appeared at the gate of the Internet Addiction School.

　　After a body search and ID check, she successfully became a handyman in the Internet addiction school.

　　The monthly salary is 300 yuan, including food and accommodation, but no monthly break. The duties include cleaning the school, serving meals to students, and working part-time as a dormitory manager.
