Osmanthus Mung Bean Cakes

Su Bing had dropped out of school right after graduating from junior high. With his shallow knowledge, he didn't fully understand the meaning of those classical words, but he knew well enough that they were insults directed at him.

Compared to other accounts, this account was very new, registered just that day, and even its profile picture was left as default. Su Bing felt he had caught a loophole in the Baiji Eatery's paid army, so he immediately forwarded the post to his personal page: "Everyone, come and look. This defender of the shop is truly cultured; I feel ashamed in comparison. But the paid army the boss hired must be busy eating dessert, since they're using such a brand-new alt account. Did they run out of advertising money?"

Su Bing's fans, seeing the "evidence," immediately went wild, and the comment section turned negative again. "So it's a paid army. Some people said those review photos looked delicious; before the blogger provided evidence, I thought they were real. Turns out they're all fake. How disgusting." "Oh my god, I didn't expect the food industry to be so complicated. Restaurants that love to hype themselves up like this only make the food circle toxic." "The boss has money to hire a paid army, so why doesn't she focus on improving her cooking and doing business properly? Acting so foolishly will get her boycotted sooner or later."

They even swarmed the personal page of "Have You Finished Your Homework Today" to attack him for being a paid shill. Facing the malicious comments, the other party only calmly replied to each one with an extremely sincere attitude.

Have You Finished Your Homework Today: "I am not a paid shill."

"This is hilarious. Just looking at the name, you can tell it's a primary school student. Have you finished your homework before going online? Careful, or your mom will beat you."
"Seeing that you're young, I won't hold a grudge. Next time, don't do this for dirty money."
"What's the group account for this shop? Let everyone make some money too."

Have You Finished Your Homework Today: "I am not a student. I am a Chinese teacher at Hai City Junior High School. I am sixty-nine years old this year."

"Hahaha, if you're a teacher, then I'm the principal."
"Hai City Junior High is the top key school in the city. Why would a teacher there have the free time to visit such a tiny eatery? The people hired by that shop are really good at making things up, even dragging in a Chinese teacher. Next, will a government official appear?"

Netizens mocked in unison, and the account "Have You Finished Your Homework Today" suddenly fell silent. The crowd grew even more triumphant, believing the opponent had run out of arguments. Su Bing watched the traffic surge and grinned widely; money was about to roll into his pocket. Even if a restaurant's reputation was ruined, he didn't care as long as he benefited.

While he was smugly taking a sip of water, the traffic suddenly spiked. He glanced at the screen and almost choked when he saw that the "empty" alt account had just been officially verified! A series of official accounts simultaneously posted, mentioning "Have You Finished Your Homework Today":

Hai City Education Commission: [Congratulations to Shen Yunqi, a special-grade teacher of Hai City Junior High School, on being elected President of the Hai City Calligraphy Association.]
Hai City Calligraphy Association: [Congratulations to Shen Yunqi, a special-grade teacher of Hai City Junior High School, on being elected President of the Hai City Calligraphy Association.]

Su Bing: "???"

"Cough, cough, cough!" He choked until his face turned red, hurriedly checking again. After careful verification, he realized in horror that those accounts were all real! Both he and his fans were dumbfounded, and the comment section, which had been filled with blood and wind, suddenly fell dead silent.
