Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

The main problem was the traffic jam; I waited at five traffic lights.

Otherwise, we should have arrived much earlier.

When Lu Chengzhou arrived, he discovered that there were others who had arrived even earlier than him.

First is Lin Chen.

He is a loyal fan of the tea-flavored jelly in the original work.

There's no reason he wouldn't come on such a wonderful day.

Secondly, there's Su Qiaoman.

Su Qiaoman came here not to eat the tea-flavored jelly, but to earn money by doing odd jobs.

After buying that counterfeit product, her Alipay debt had reached an alarming figure.

She could no longer expect Meng Wanyu to offer her a job, as that was rather unstable.

Working at a coffee shop offers a stable hourly wage, though it's a bit low...

Unbeknownst to him, Lu Chengzhou had stepped into that tangled plot point from the original novel.

According to the original novel, Lin Chen will meet Su Qiaoman today and cause some trouble to make her lose her job.

However, their relationship is currently in a state of uncertainty, and Lu Chengzhou feels that the possibility of Lin Chen deliberately causing trouble is not very high.

"Although the possibility is slim, it is not entirely impossible."

Lu Chengzhou stroked his chin.

He looked deep in thought.

Push open the door and walk into the store.

"It's better to keep an eye on it."

Following the plot closely often yields unexpected rewards.

If I manage to snag a system bonus, that would be a huge win.

……

"Waiter, please bring a tea-flavored jelly to our private room."

Lin Chen disdained associating with these ordinary diners; he usually requested a private room.

He's been having a lot of pocket money lately, so he's back to living the lavish life of a rich kid.

He casually gave the waitress a 100-yuan tip, asking her to find a pretty waitress who could sing to sing a song for him in a private room.

This kind of service is generally not available in coffee shops.

However, Lin Chen is an exception.

The coffee shop owner had a good relationship with Lin Chen and often took him out to have fun.

Occasionally, when the two of them are drinking together in a private room, they will ask a pretty waitress to come and keep them company, drink with them, sing with them, and sometimes talk about their feelings.

However, that's all.

People are generally very civilized; they won't do anything illegal or disorderly.

The main reason is that Lin Chen is also young, and the boss doesn't dare to lead him too badly, so he can only let him "dabble in things briefly".

The boss wasn't here today, but that didn't stop Lin Chen from having fun on his own.

So the waiter understood immediately and quickly relayed his message.

There are many waitresses in the store, but not many of them are pretty.

Although everyone wanted to go to the private room to keep him company, Lin Chen didn't find them attractive enough.

The prettiest waitress is on leave again today.

The foreman, a mature woman, looked around and finally fixed her gaze on Su Qiaoman, who had just arrived to do odd jobs.

"Hey, you, come here for a second."

Su Qiaoman put down the rag in her hand, obeyed the other party's call, and followed.

The older woman patted her on the shoulder: "There's an opportunity that could make you rich overnight, do you want it?"

Su Qiaoman looked at her warily: "What opportunity?"

The mature woman chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, this is just a chance for you to meet a rich second-generation."

Su Qiaoman was stunned for a moment.

Several names of rich second-generation heirs flashed through her mind instantly.

Finally, the focus shifted to Lin Chen's name.

The mature woman continued, "This rich kid is very generous tonight. If you serve him well, you can earn at least two thousand yuan! For you, wouldn't that be like becoming rich overnight?"

Two thousand yuan...

That sounds pretty tempting.

She only earns fifteen yuan in an hour.

Two thousand yuan is enough for her to keep doing this for a long time.

Su Qiaoman thought of her current situation, which was heavily in debt, and felt helpless.

Knowing that this was a legitimate place, and that even if there was a companion service, it would be the kind without physical contact, I felt much more at ease.

If all else fails, she can call the police.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Su Qiaoman took off her apron, leaving only her work clothes, and walked to the door of the designated private room, knocking on the door.

The door opened with a knock.

Lin Chen's voice came from inside.

"Enter."

Su Qiaoman felt a little nervous.

When she arrived, she had considered that the person inside might be Lin Chen, but when she confirmed that it was Lin Chen, she still panicked for a moment.

Her panic wasn't because she had any feelings for Lin Chen.

Her relationship with Lin Chen is now far from what it used to be.

Lin Chen will most likely make her leave the moment he sees her.

She was just worried about not being able to earn those two thousand yuan.

as predicted.

The moment Lin Chen saw her, his face fell.

"What are you doing here? Get out."

"Brother Lin Chen, I..."

"I told you to get out."

"Can you give me a chance?"

Su Qiaoman didn't go out; instead, she mustered her courage and went inside.

In her eyes, Lin Chen was not Lin Chen, but a stack of two thousand yuan bills.

She couldn't control Lu Chengzhou, but she could still try to control Lin Chen.

This man is often soft-hearted.

As long as she plays the victim well enough, she won't have trouble moving him.

"Brother Lin Chen, we were deskmates in school, after all. We have some wonderful memories together, don't we?"

Su Qiaoman had already sat down next to Lin Chen.

"Let's turn off the lights."

"Please don't treat me like Su Qiaoman, treat me like a stranger. Let's treat tonight as our first meeting, okay?"

As she spoke, she took it upon herself to turn off the light.

After a few seconds of silence.

Lin Chen said quietly.

"Why did you turn off the light? I've gotten coffee up my nose."

……

Outside.

Lu Chengzhou spent two hundred yuan to bribe the mature female manager and obtain the surveillance footage from that private room.

Right now, he's watching everything that's happening in the private room.

Incidentally, I also enjoyed the tea-flavored jelly, which was considered exceptional in the original work.

Cut off a corner of it with a spoon and put it in your mouth.

It melts in your mouth, with a milky and tea aroma that's so delicious even the system has to give it a thumbs up.

Lu Chengzhou's eyes lit up.

"It's no wonder that the original novel described this delicious food in over 800 words; it's absolutely amazing."

However, despite his culinary expertise, he noticed the flaw after a few more bites.

The drawbacks of this thing are actually not very obvious.

That is, the texture of the top and bottom layers is not quite the same.

The bottom layer of jelly was a bit too sweet.

If he makes one himself according to the recipe, it will taste even better than the current one.

Lu Chengzhou sighed and put down the spoon in his hand.
