The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

In a high-end coffee shop in Haicheng called "Turning the Corner, I Met You," Zhao Yang looked Chen Fan up and down as he elegantly sipped his coffee, and only one word came to mind.

Pretending!

It's just coffee, why act like it's some kind of nectar?

Chen Fan was a man of great stature, and he could see right through Zhao Yang's thoughts, which were like a hothouse flower who hadn't even graduated from university.

He slowly put down his coffee and raised his index finger at Zhao Yang.

"What do you mean?"

"This cup of coffee costs 1000 Dragon Coins."

Zhao Yang: ...

"Waiter, give me one of the same ones, no, two of them."

Unfortunately, the waiter completely ignored him. After all, from any angle, Zhao Yang didn't seem like someone who could afford a 1000-yuan cup of high-end coffee.

If he drinks coffee without paying, then I, a mere waiter, will have to bear the loss.

Even if my monthly salary is as high as 5000, I still can't afford to lose money on two drinks!

For Chen Fan, the cost of three cups of coffee was nothing, so he didn't care that Zhao Yang was blatantly taking advantage of him and nodded indifferently to the waiter.

With Chen Fan's permission, the waiter promptly turned around and began to hand-grind coffee for Zhao Yang.

Since my boss has agreed, it's none of my business if he wants to drink coffee for free.

While waiting for the coffee to be served, Zhao Yang looked Chen Fan up and down, a smirk playing on his lips. He leaned back in his chair, mimicking the way business tycoons negotiate on TV, resting his right hand on the armrest, his chin on his hand, and looked at Chen Fan with an expression that said, "I'm not afraid of you."

What an interesting guy.

Chen Fan was almost amused by Zhao Yang's actions. He sighed inwardly, shook his head, and put his coffee on the table.

"Zhao, I don't want to waste any more words with you. Let's get straight to the point."

Chen Fan picked up the leather bag at his feet with some difficulty, placed it on the table, and then pushed it in front of Zhao Yang, gesturing for Zhao Yang to open it.

What is this? A shady deal between gangsters?

After mentally complaining, Zhao Yang still took the suitcase, opened it slightly, and his eyes lit up instantly.

What did he see! He saw a scene that he could only ever dream of!

A box was filled with bright red 100-yuan bills, and roughly estimated, it must have been at least 600,000 yuan!

What surprised him most were the four gold bars in the middle!

He had seen these gold bars in the pornographic book; each one weighed 1 kilogram!

Based on the current gold price of 1100 per gram, each gold bar would be worth 110 million!

There are four of them here.

In other words, the gold bars alone are worth 440 million Dragon Coins.

This box of dragon coins plus gold bars is worth about 500 million!

After some mental calculation, Zhao Yang came to a surprising conclusion.

For some reason, the image of Leng Qinghan's stunningly beautiful face appeared in Zhao Yang's mind.

If I had had that 500 million before, would that bitch Leng Qinghan have refused to throw herself at Ye Linyuan?!

No, Zhao Yang, you are a gentleman. A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way!

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath. He slammed the suitcase shut and reluctantly pushed it back in front of Chen Fan.

"I cannot accept this money without merit!"

Originally, seeing the greed in Zhao Yang's eyes, Chen Fan's opinion of Zhao Yang had already plummeted.

For a young master from a wealthy family like Chen Fan, people who love money are the least worthy of attention. Such people are like servants, summoned and dismissed at will. They may be your dog for money today, but they may also stab you in the back for money tomorrow. They have no loyalty whatsoever.

To his surprise, Zhao Yang was able to resist the temptation of money, which made him look at Zhao Yang with new respect.

A person who can resist greed even when it arises in their heart is more terrifying than a gentleman who regards money as dirt from the beginning.

"Take this; it's a gift from me to you as we first met."

Chen Fan pushed the box back in front of Zhao Yang, a genuine smile on his face.

Now, he truly treats Zhao Yang as an equal partner in their dialogue, instead of initially intending to use him as a tool and then leave him to fend for himself.

"Although I really want your gift, I know even better that if I take the money, our relationship will completely change."

At this moment, Zhao Yang had also calmed down. He pushed the box back to Chen Fan, sat up straight, and spoke in an extremely calm tone.

As the protagonist of a certain storyline, Zhao Yang is not a fool; he is quite capable, but his abilities are overshadowed by his sycophantic persona.

"Don't worry, I don't mean anything by it. This money is not only a gift for meeting you, but also your funds for your next move."

Chen Fan pushed the box in front of Zhao Yang for the third time and continued to persuade him.

"Zhao, since we are going to form an alliance, we need to share what we have with each other."

"Don't rush to reject me, let me finish what I have to say."

Chen Fan continued.

"You are young, energetic, and intelligent. Most importantly, you are free, but you lack financial stability."

"As for me, although I am rich, I have to manage the company on weekdays and am very busy, so I am often unable to show my face. Therefore, I need you to act as my representative and handle all the things that I am not comfortable doing in person."

"So, our strengths and weaknesses complement each other, making us a perfect match for our current enemy. What do you think?"

As Chen Fan finished speaking, Zhao Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Does Chen Fan really think he's a fool?

Just listen to what he said; if you actually believe it, you probably won't even know how you died.

There is a term in this world called scapegoat!

Zhao Yang didn't consider himself as outrageous as Ye Linyuan, but he was still above average.

If you live a peaceful and law-abiding life, you can still live a carefree and unrestrained life.

But if they become restless, the outcome is hard to predict.

It might get better, it might get worse, or it might even... die!

"Mr. Chen, let's set aside the matter of you being my spokesperson and get straight to the point about Ye Linyuan."

Seeing that Zhao Yang refused to accept his money and become his spokesperson, Chen Fan sighed inwardly. It seemed that his plan had been seen through.

The so-called spokesperson is nothing more than a slightly more sophisticated dog. Today I can find Zhao Yang to be my spokesperson, tomorrow I can find Li Yang to be my spokesperson, and the day after tomorrow I can find Yin Yang to be my spokesperson!

It's just a name that can be changed at any time!
