If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

"Uncle Zhong, hello!" Li Yuan smiled and did not show too much anger just because the person in front of him was a scumbag father.

No matter what, the other party is Zhong Tingyue's biological father. Unless Zhong Tingyue breaks off relations with the other party, he will stand on Zhong Tingyue's side without hesitation and do the same thing.

Seeing that Li Yuan was neither surprised nor happy, and looked very normal, as if he was looking at a stranger, Zhong Zhengping couldn't help but frown and felt a little unhappy.

"This brat, now that he has a little money, he has become so disrespectful to his elders?"

Zhong Zhengping was very dissatisfied.

If Li Yuan was not now very famous and very rich, and he wanted to use Zhong Tingyue's relationship to get closer to Li Yuan, he would have left long ago.

"Well, not bad. He is indeed handsome and has the vigor of a young man." Zhong Zhengping commented on Li Yuan in a contemptuous manner.

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

The other party planned to take advantage of his seniority by relying on Zhong Tingyue's age. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't want to say anything because Zhong Tingyue was by his side.

Don't hit a smiling person, let's see what tricks he can play.

Zhong Tingyue, who was standing by, looked a little embarrassed. She glanced at her biological father in front of her unnaturally and sneered in her heart.

The other party probably doesn't know that I already know what he is going to do to me?

Now, in front of me, pretending nothing happened?

He has a beastly heart in human form, how ridiculous!
She looked down on the man in front of her from the bottom of her heart. Although he brought a relatively affluent life to herself and her mother, these were not priceless. They were obtained by her mother with her body.

With her mother's looks, even if she hadn't followed this cruel scumbag father, she could have lived a good life by marrying an ordinary man.

Even now, if I hadn't provided some financial support from time to time, would my mother have been able to become so rich and powerful?
Not at all. I can only say that their lives are a little better than those of ordinary people, but they are far from being rich.

In the past, she secretly heard her mother's humble manner of stretching out her hand to ask the man in front of her for living expenses.

Men are creatures who love the new and dislike the old, especially this kind of scumbag man. When my mother grows older and loses her glory, it will be too difficult to get money from him. In many cases, my mother also spends some of her previous savings...

Seeing that Li Yuan's attitude was indifferent, even a little cold, Zhong Zhengping was extremely angry. His anger was rising and his face became visibly gloomy.

"If not..."

Zhong Zhengping's eyes flickered, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to speak in a calm tone.

"Hehe, Li Yuan, Tingyue, when did you get together?"

Li Yuan smiled faintly and said, "It hasn't been long since the school started!"

Zhong Tingyue didn't say anything, but just sat quietly beside Li Yuan, holding Li Yuan's hand tightly under the table.

Before she knew it, her little hands were already sweating.

Zhong Tingyue didn't look nervous on the surface, but she was still very nervous inside.

Zhong Zhengping smiled meaningfully and said, "Li Yuan, I'll call you Xiao Li."

"Xiao Li, Tingyue is the apple of my eye. I have spoiled her since she was little. You must love her well."

Looking at Zhong Zhengping's "kind father" appearance, if Li Yuan didn't know the truth, he might actually believe it.

But after knowing the truth, Li Yuan just felt disgusted.

How could there be such a disgusting creature in the world? How could he be worthy of being a father?

Even meeting the other person made him feel physically nauseous.

When Li Yuan thought of this, his stomach churned and he almost vomited out the lunch he had eaten.

He was really disgusted.

Seeing that Li Yuan wanted to "vomit", Zhong Zhengping felt very contemptuous.

"After all, he is from a small place, and he has no manners at all."

However, he still pretended to be a gentleman and pretended to be concerned.

"Xiao Li, are you feeling unwell?"

Li Yuan shook his head. "No, I just felt a little sick all of a sudden."

Zhong Tingyue, who was standing by, heard Li Yuan's impolite words and knew that he said that for her sake. She couldn't help but chuckle. Then, looking at Zhong Zhengping's gloomy expression, she quickly returned to normal and spoke nonsense in a serious manner.

"Senior, this must be because you are too tired recently and have been overworked for the company's affairs. You need to pay attention to rest."

Zhong Zhengping's face turned even darker, so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip from it.

He didn't know why Li Yuan would make such a sarcastic remark about him.

Could it be that?
Zhong Zhengping glanced at the smiling Zhong Tingyue. Her every frown and smile was so touching that he suddenly felt a strange emotion in his heart. A greedy emotion grew in his heart...

Although Zhong Tingyue's surname is Zhong and she is his biological daughter, he does not have much affection for her.

They met seldom, and as Zhong Tingyue grew up, he deliberately cultivated her knowledge in dance, music, etiquette, conversation, etc., preparing her to be a long-term investment.

For local business families like theirs, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and almost every larger family has it.

Moreover, it is not just one or two people. Some truly top families often have a group of people who provide long-term support and are used for socializing in upper-class society.

Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty.

And he spared no effort in cultivating Zhong Tingyue because he wanted to get more.

I never thought that Zhong Tingyue had such a strong learning ability. Even though he had so many other hobbies and interests, he did not fall behind in his studies. Instead, he always ranked among the top in the class and even got admitted to a 985 university.

Although he was very confused, he still supported Zhong Tingyue going to college.

The higher the academic qualifications, coupled with Zhong Tingyue's own appearance, figure, and various specialties, the more reports can be obtained.

When he first learned that Zhong Tingyue was in love, he was very angry, but then, when he found out that Zhong Tingyue's boyfriend was Li Yuan, he felt relieved.

How famous is Li Yuan now?
Whether in online literature, music creation, or business, he has been hailed as the most talented young people of the 21st century...

Just the products like "Cha Yan Yue Se", "Zhihu" and "Honor of Kings" are enough to make Li Yuan a billionaire worth billions.

His own property is only in the tens of millions, including various fixed assets and investments.

The entire Sucheng Zhong family’s assets are not as great as Li Yuan’s current wealth.

If it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't have come to meet the two of them in such a nice tone today.

However, he never expected that Li Yuan was indeed so arrogant and overbearing, and so lacked respect for his elder, which made him very dissatisfied.

However, he had his own plans in mind and needed help, so he could only pretend not to understand and pretend to be happy to show his concern for Li Yuan. "Xiao Li, if you feel unwell, you can go to the hospital. I can just give the city hospital a call."

Li Yuan glanced at Zhong Zhengping with a half-smile, feeling very strange.

Did the other party understand it or not?
Or are you deliberately pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth?
However, judging by the other party's sophisticated and ruthless style, it is most likely the latter.

"Ahem, it's okay. Maybe the air quality in Su City is too bad. It makes me feel a little nauseous."

Li Yuan made up a nonsense statement.

He also didn't want to continue wasting time with Zhong Zhengping. Wouldn't it be nice for him to go back and play games instead?
As the boss of "Honor of Kings" and the actual creator of "Honor of Kings", he is still in the bronze third level.

If you tell this to others, it will make thousands of fans laugh.

The truth is, he doesn't have time to play games, and he can't play this kind of computer game.

In my previous life, I played the mobile version of "Honor of Kings". I'm used to it and it's hard to change.

"Uncle Zhong, you are busy with business, so let's talk business!"

When Zhong Zhengping heard that Li Yuan was on the right track, he also became interested and his heart was suddenly filled with anticipation.

"Okay, Xiao Li, I really admire your talent in business. There are only a few people in the country who have created "Honor of Kings", "Zhihu" and "Cha Yan Yue Se" at your age. Your future is limitless."

"Uncle, you're too kind." Li Yuan was a little confused as to what this old fox was thinking.

Zhong Zhengping asked, "Xiao Li, I heard that you are planning to open a few milk tea branches in Suzhou recently?"

Li Yuan nodded and explained casually: "Well, we are planning to open some branches in major cities across the country."

Zhong Zhengping's expression changed, and he expressed his thoughts: "Xiao Li, I want to ask, can you join "Cha Yan Yue Se"? "

Li Yuan was stunned. "Join?"

Zhong Zhengping said excitedly: "Yes, just like KFC and McDonald's, you can recruit some franchisees, they just need to borrow your brand, and you can just sit back and collect the money..."

"You are still young and don't understand the ins and outs of this. I am an experienced person who has been in the business world for many years. This model is a new model for business development and has great development prospects."

"If we work together, we can quickly promote the brand of 'Cha Yan Yue Se' all over the country and quickly add branches. For a city as big as Sucheng, we need to open at least 100 or 200 branches... If we look at the whole country, we can open at least thousands of branches. We can work together to make 'Cha Yan Yue Se' a listed company, and then make money from stocks. You can directly become a super rich man with a net worth of tens of billions..."

Zhong Zhengping talked incessantly about the grand plan in his mind, and described it vividly to Li Yuanhua.

Li Yuan suddenly found the big promises made by Zhong Zhengping ridiculous.

He originally thought that the other party might want to take advantage of Zhong Tingyue's relationship to get some money and gain some benefits.

I never expected that the other party's ambition was so big that he wanted to intervene in "Cha Yan Yue Se" and join in as a partner...

Damn, what a bold idea!
This is completely treating yourself as a fool who knows nothing.

Li Yuan was very puzzled.

Do I look that stupid?
Although you are not a true genius, you still know this common sense, right?
If "Cha Yan Yue Se" is really going to be listed, it is not certain what the name of this company will be.

These old foxes have too many ways to change the nature of a company.

Besides, he is making money by relying on his own reputation. Isn't it great? Why does he need to engage in franchise operations?
Are you short of the money for the franchise fee?
Or is it that you can't afford the price of the new store?

What's more, the reason why he invested in stores and real estate was to prevent the era of skyrocketing housing prices in the future...

Li Yuan coughed, interrupting Zhong Zhengping's fantasy.

"Ahem, Uncle Zhong, I don't want to franchise or list the company for now. I feel the current business model is pretty good. Anyway, I've made enough money, enough for me to spend."

Zhong Zhengping was already unhappy about being interrupted by Li Yuan, and he became even more unhappy after hearing Li Yuan's words.

"Haha, Xiao Li, Uncle Zhong is here to give you some guidance as a veteran. Can't we work together to make your company bigger and stronger and create greater glory?"

"If you follow my guidance, you might be able to make the Forbes list in a few years..."

Zhong Zhengping still wants to continue to make big promises to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was speechless after hearing this.

I've made it so obvious, don't you have any self-awareness at all?

Li Yuan interrupted Zhong Zhengping without any hesitation.

"Uncle Zhong, stop talking. I have my own plans for my company."

"Uh!" Zhong Zhengping looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Li Yuan was unwilling to say more, he did not insist. As an old fox, he knew the technique of playing the long game to catch big fish.

Since Li Yuan is unwilling to say these things now, then just don't say them.

Anyway, with the relationship with Zhong Tingyue, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhong Zhengping cast his gaze towards Zhong Tingyue standing beside him, pretending to be a kind and amiable "father", and asked with concern:
"Tingyue, how are you going to school in the Magic City? Are you getting used to it?"

Belated care always makes people feel disgusted.

This is the feeling that Zhong Tingyue had when she was there.

She has been in college for half a year, and now she remembers to care about herself?
Why did you go early?
It's really incredible that they are so hypocritical.

"Yeah, I'm used to it." Zhong Tingyue spoke lightly, with an expression that was neither distant nor close. If it weren't for her mother, she wouldn't want to bother with her scumbag father at all.

Zhong Zhengping frowned slightly. He also felt that Zhong Tingyue was a little strange today. She was not as respectful to him as before. She was very cautious when talking to him...

"Haha, is this the courage Li Yuan gave you? Do you think you can escape from my clutches like this? Ridiculous!"

"As long as you are my daughter, you will never escape from my control in this life."

Zhong Zhengping sneered in his heart.

However, he was a smart man, so he knew that he couldn't fall out with Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue at this time. Instead, he could only suppress his anger and continue to greet them with a smile...

"The Magic City is very close to Su City. Go home more often when you have time. After all, Su City is your home."

"My home?" Zhong Tingyue sneered.

"My home is in Shanghai, not in Suzhou."
