Chen Mohan quickly obtained information about Luo Zhi and Zhao Shucheng from her fans at the university.

Chen Mohan was somewhat surprised when she saw the message from her fan.

Originally, I thought Luo Zhi and Zhao Shucheng were just ordinary students, but I never expected that Zhao Shucheng would now be the founder of a shared bicycle company that can be seen everywhere on the streets.

She wasn't some ignorant ivory tower student. After meeting Gu Zhiye, she realized that Zhao Shucheng was already a billionaire, someone they couldn't easily provoke.

Gu Zhiye hadn't expected Zhao Shucheng to be so capable. He had assumed that Zhao Shucheng's family must be quite powerful since he drove to school, but it turned out that everything was the result of his own hard work.

"Mo Han, should we continue with our plan?"

"What, are you scared?"

Gu Zhiye said, "It's not that we're afraid, it's just that our initial goal was only to target Jiang Baili, but if we target them now, we'll face their retaliation, which will be very troublesome."

So you're planning to give up?

Gu Zhiye shook his head and said, "Of course not. Something this challenging requires thorough preparation to catch them off guard from the start."

“That’s fine. Besides, we’re not going to compete with them commercially, but rather we’ll start from other angles. Look, Qi Ming has romantic entanglements with many girls, which might be a breakthrough point. Especially here, Luo Zhi and Ye Zhanyan, one was Sheng Huainan’s ex-girlfriend, and the other is someone Sheng Huainan loves but can’t have now. He can be our helper.”

Gu Zhiye never expected that simply helping Chen Mohan teach Jiang Baili a lesson would lead to such a huge trouble, and things seemed to be getting out of control.

However, giving up like this was not in Gu Zhiye's style. Besides, it was a challenge for him, and if he succeeded, it would definitely make him famous overnight.

“Perhaps we can really start from this point. I’ll contact Sheng Huainan. I think he doesn’t want to see Zhao Shucheng continue to be so smug. What we need to do is not to destroy Qi Ming’s company. As long as we stir up their emotions, Luo Zhi will be too busy to pay attention to Jiang Baili, which will give me time. Taking Jiang Baili will not be a problem.”

"Then it's settled!"

Sheng Huainan was somewhat surprised to see Gu Zhiye appear in front of him and asked, "Senior Brother Gu, is there something you need?"

Gu Zhiye said, "Sheng Huainan, I do have something to discuss with you. You like Luo Zhi, right?"

"Yes, there's nothing I'm ashamed to admit. You didn't come here just to make me give up, and you're planning to pursue Luo Zhi, right?"

"How could that be? I'm pursuing Jiang Baili, but Luo Zhi keeps preventing me from contacting her. Ultimately, the problem lies with Qi Ming, so we now have a common enemy, which is why I've come to you for cooperation."

Sheng Huainan looked at Gu Zhiye and said, "Cooperation? How do you want to cooperate?"

"Qi Ming is a womanizer, having ambiguous relationships with several girls at the same time. You don't want the person you like to get hurt, and I don't want my pursuit of Jiang Baili to be sabotaged. So let's work together to deal with Qi Ming. We don't need to do anything else, just make Luo Zhi and the others see Qi Ming's true nature—that he's just a playboy. When Luo Zhi leaves Qi Ming heartbroken, you can take advantage of the situation, and I can pursue Jiang Baili with peace of mind. Why not?"

Sheng Huainan looked at Gu Zhiye with amusement and said, "Senior Brother Gu, it seems you haven't investigated thoroughly enough. Luo Zhi and the others all know about each other's existence and don't even mind Qi Ming's womanizing ways. Do you think you still have a chance of winning?"

"I don't think it's a problem. After all, people are selfish. I don't believe they're truly incompatible. If it were you or me, we wouldn't allow the person we like to have feelings for someone else, would we?"

"Okay, I'm open to cooperation. How exactly do we do it?"

"Of course, we spread rumors about Zhao Shucheng's womanizing on campus, and then we tried to make Luo Zhi and the others have the idea of ​​having him all to themselves. As long as Qi Ming doesn't make a choice, they will run into trouble sooner or later."

"I thought you had some good ideas. There were rumors about it on the campus forum before, but they didn't care at all, so your method won't work."

"That's because you didn't use the right method. Public pressure can be very effective sometimes, but it's ineffective for some people. However, family pressure is something that most people can't bear. If we tell their families about Qi Ming's philandering, do you think they would allow their daughter to be with someone like that?"

Sheng Huainan paused for a moment, then said, "I will consider what you said, but I can only contact Luo Zhi's family."

"That's enough. I'll have someone contact Ye Zhanyan, and Gu Senxiang's family is from Shanghai, so that's not a problem either."

"Okay, it's settled."

Gu Zhiye and Sheng Huainan were full of confidence, but they underestimated Zhao Shucheng.

Since Zhao Shucheng had chosen to be a womanizer, he naturally wouldn't have been unprepared for this. The first people to know were actually Gu Senxiang's parents, since they were locals in Shanghai and had many acquaintances. They had already heard rumors about Zhao Shucheng's womanizing ways.

However, Zhao Shucheng also spoke frankly with them, admitting that although he was a womanizer, he truly loved Gu Senxiang and would only have Gu Senxiang as his wife.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu were naturally very dissatisfied with Zhao Shucheng's attitude, but seeing their daughter's delighted expression and knowing that Zhao Shucheng's current achievements meant she would not lack suitors in the future, yet she dared to tell them directly, they couldn't help but feel that Zhao Shucheng was responsible.

So even for the sake of their daughter, they could only turn a blind eye and pretend they knew nothing about it. As long as they didn't bring other women into their home, they would act as if nothing had happened.

As for Ye Zhanyan, there's even less to worry about, since her father is a womanizer and Ye Zhanyan has long wanted to break up with him, so she's the least of our concerns.

There is indeed some trouble on Luo Zhi's side. After all, she and her mother depend on each other for survival, and Luo's mother is naturally unwilling to let her daughter follow Zhao Shucheng without a proper status.

However, if Luo Zhi's attitude is firm at that time, she is not unwilling to compromise. After all, nothing is more important than her daughter's happiness. Besides, Zhao Shucheng is now quite successful, and she wants her to know that her daughter will have a very good future.

The Spring Festival is just around the corner.

For students, the arrival of winter break means packing their bags and going home.

Luo Zhi, having lived with her mother for many years, chose to return home for the Spring Festival. Ye Zhanyan, however, didn't want to go back to her cold, impersonal home, and since her boyfriend Zhao Shucheng's family was in Shanghai, she chose to stay there for the holiday. Gu Senxiang, needless to say, was also there; her family lived in Shanghai, so naturally she would spend the holiday there. Gu Senxiang eventually found out about Luo Zhi's confession to Zhao Shucheng, but she wasn't surprised at all; in fact, Luo Zhi's late confession was beyond her expectations.

Since Ye Zhanyan and Gu Senxiang would be staying in Shanghai for the rest of the time, they asked Zhao Shucheng to stay with Luo Zhi alone before Luo Zhi left, while they stayed in the apartment to prepare for the New Year.

Zhao Shucheng took Luo Zhi out shopping, just like any other couple on a date. At that moment, they forgot about Gu Senxiang and Ye Zhanyan; they only had eyes for each other.

They sometimes run together, sometimes eat candied hawthorns together. The two are like the hawthorn and strawberry candied hawthorns in each other's hands, different from each other, yet accommodating to each other.

For example, right now, Luo Zhi's mouth is covered in sugar coating, and Zhao Shucheng will naturally use his mouth to help Luo Zhi clean it.

Luo Zhi was initially surprised by Zhao Shucheng's initiative, but she quickly reciprocated. This was the first time Zhao Shucheng had taken the initiative to kiss her, and it also told Luo Zhi that Zhao Shucheng had feelings for her too.

Zhao Shucheng brought Luo Zhi to the exhibition hall and showed her the pipe organ that she most wanted to see.

Luo Zhi kept talking the whole way, unlike the quiet and reserved person she was known to others. Instead, she kept asking Zhao Shucheng questions. Some of these were things she had learned from Gu Senxiang and she wanted to hear a different answer from Zhao Shucheng. Others were out of curiosity about Zhao Shucheng and she wanted to know more about him.

As the two chatted, they arrived outside the exhibition hall, where a love proverb was displayed on the wall: "Woman is a part of man, both bone and flesh, so they need to leave their parents and become one."

Luo Zhi looked at Zhao Shucheng and asked, "So, someone as promiscuous as you, did all your bones get removed and turned into a woman?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Maybe you are all my ribs? In order to create you, all my ribs were taken out, which is why you found me and made me whole."

"And if you're going to be unfaithful, then don't ruin this proverb about love, okay?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Luo Zhi and said, "Well, little Zhizhi, now you dare to criticize me to my face like this. It seems I need to teach you a lesson!"

Luo Zhi pretended to be scared and ran away, leaving Zhao Shucheng to chase after her.

The two eventually arrived at a park. Luo Zhi was a little tired, so she sat on a deck chair to rest and eventually fell asleep leaning against Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng held Luo Zhi in his arms, quietly waiting for her to wake up.

When Luo Zhi woke up, she found herself in a warm embrace, with Zhao Shucheng shielding her from the sunlight with his hand.

Although she knew very well that she would still have to share this with others after this period, it was hard for her not to be moved at this moment, and she even took the initiative to kiss Zhao Shucheng, feeling that happiness was enough.

Just as she was becoming increasingly infatuated with Zhao Shucheng and even hoping to become his real woman as soon as possible, she received a call from her mother.

Luo's mother immediately questioned Luo Zhi about whether she was in a relationship, whether the other person was Zhao Shucheng, and whether she was seeing multiple men at the same time.

This caught Luo Zhi off guard, leaving her unsure how to answer her mother. Although she had known her mother would find out, she hadn't yet figured out how to tell her. Unexpectedly, her mother already knew and even told her to hurry home and explain.

Although Luo Zhi was reluctant to leave Zhao Shucheng, she couldn't ignore her mother, so she had no choice but to tell Zhao Shucheng that her mother wanted her to go home as soon as possible.

Zhao Shucheng had actually heard Luo Zhi's voice on the phone earlier and said, "Zhi Zhi, don't worry, it's all my fault. Go home and I'll explain to your aunt that it was all my fault."

Luo Zhi was initially delighted, but then said with some concern, "But if you go to the Northeast, what will you do for the New Year? Zhan Yan and Xiang Xiang are also here preparing to spend the New Year with you. They will be sad if they find out."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I probably won't be able to go to Northeast China with you for the Spring Festival this year. After all, there's a lot of work to be done at the company before the holiday, and I need to be there in person to arrange everything. But I can video call Auntie to explain things clearly and make sure you won't feel wronged. Next year, when the company is on the right track, or even after it's acquired by a big company, we'll be completely financially independent. At that time, whether we bring Auntie here or we go there, it won't be a problem anymore."

"Okay then, but my mom will definitely say something unpleasant, you..."

"Don't worry, I was prepared. After all, I plucked the delicate flower she had carefully nurtured, so I had to give her a chance to vent. Although I can't promise you a lifetime of monogamy, you won't be shortchanged. In the future, my assets will be divided equally among you all, without any bias. I hope Auntie can be a little more lenient with me for this reason."

Not only did Luo Zhi's mother find out that he was dating several girls at the same time, but Ye Zhanyan's father, who rarely contacted her, even called Ye Zhanyan. Not to mention Gu Senxiang's parents.

Gu Senxiang and the others were somewhat worried. This didn't seem like a coincidence; rather, it seemed like someone had deliberately orchestrated it. If it were just an accidental discovery, that would be one thing, but they were worried that it was maliciously done by Zhao Shucheng's competitors, which would cause trouble for the company.

Zhao Shucheng told them not to worry. If it were a competitor, such a romantic affair wouldn't pose any threat to the company. After all, Zhao Shucheng had always been known for his womanizing persona in marketing, and it wouldn't shake the company's foundation.

After seeing Luo Zhi off at the airport, Zhao Shucheng also investigated and found out who was behind the trouble.

"I never expected it to be them, but why?"

Gu Senxiang also saw the information Zhao Shucheng had investigated, which showed photos of Sheng Huainan meeting with Gu Zhiye, as well as evidence that Sheng Huainan had someone tell Luo Zhi's mother, and that Gu Zhiye had someone contact Gu Senxiang's parents.

"I think Sheng Huainan's hatred stemmed from love, or rather, he hoped that Luo Zhi's mother would stop Luo Zhi from being with me so that he could pursue Luo Zhi."

Ye Zhanyan said, "I can understand what you're saying, but what about Gu Zhiye? She doesn't have any conflicts with us, does she?"

"Perhaps we're in their way. You've forgotten that we told Jiang Baili about him and Chen Mohan before, so..."

"You're saying he's targeting us just because of this? Is he crazy?"

"He might not be crazy; perhaps he's acting out of love? He could pursue Jiang Baili for Chen Mohan, even hurting an innocent girl. What wouldn't he do for Chen Mohan?" (End of Chapter)
