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

However, Lin Chen insisted on sitting, and there was nothing they could do about it.

However, the issue of how to address someone is truly difficult.

Should I call him CEO? He's not worthy of that title.

Should I call him "little brother"? That's not appropriate.

Should I call him Brother Chen? That would be even more inappropriate.

I had no choice but to follow the crowd and call him Young Master Lin.

Lin Chen noticed their struggle with how to address each other. Although he was still smiling, his mood had turned gloomy.

Why not call him General Manager Lin?

He'll be President Lin sooner or later!

His father, Old Master Lin, will have to hand over this empire to him sooner or later!

These clueless scoundrels...

The day Lin Chen takes power, he will fire all these scoundrels.

"He didn't agree to the offline competition, so is it because he's not satisfied with the prize money and gifts?"

Lin Chen patiently continued asking.

"You can give him a little more, make sure he comes."

The staff member nodded, indicating that they would continue to communicate and follow up.

……

night.

……

After hastily completing the schoolwork, Lu Chengzhou stretched and lay comfortably on his bed.

I was just getting sleepy when my phone rang and woke me up.

"Comet Entertainment?"

The caller ID showed it was a number from Comet Entertainment.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chengzhou perked up.

He guessed why the other party had called him.

After all, just half an hour earlier, he had rejected the invitation to participate via email.

Yes, he does need to go to the offline competition, but not necessarily as a contestant.

A ticket would only cost a little over two hundred yuan, which he could afford.

However, since the other party is so sincere, wouldn't it be a waste of their sincerity if he didn't take advantage of them and make sure he got all the benefits?

For ordinary people, taking advantage of others might feel psychologically burdensome.

So, it's a case of "might as well fleece the capitalists if you don't want to."

"Hey."

"Hello, do you prefer woody fragrances?"

"Ah."

Lu Chengzhou's attitude was very cold.

Upon hearing this tone, the other person's heart skipped a beat.

Bad thing!

Such a cool, technically skilled player is probably not short of money.

So, if money isn't an issue, what methods can be used to get people to participate in the competition?

"It's like this, you should already know about the offline competition..."

"We really hope you will participate."

"As for the reward, you will definitely not be treated unfairly. How about we discuss it again?"

Lu Chengzhou remained silent for a while.

He asked, "What's the most money you can give me?"

The customer service representative was taken aback.

Is this not following the usual pattern?

So it turns out they weren't short of money, but rather wanted more?

She quickly exchanged a glance with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen made a hand gesture to her.

The customer service representative suddenly realized: "We can give you an extra 500 yuan."

Lin Chen rubbed his forehead and sighed.

This customer service representative should really be fired.

They don't care about 100,000, why would they care about your 500 yuan increase?

They have no sense of right and wrong.

Lu Chengzhou didn't respond and hung up the phone immediately.

He shared the same idea as Lin Chen: five hundred yuan was pure nonsense.

"It seems they're not sincere enough; we'll have to keep them hanging for a while longer."

……

Ten minutes later.

Comet Entertainment called again.

Lu Chengzhou waited for the phone to ring twice before answering it.

"I'm sorry, esteemed player, but after some discussion, we've decided to give you a participation prize of 50,000 yuan as long as you participate in this offline competition."

"Oh? A participation prize of 50,000 yuan."

Lu Chengzhou could feel their sincerity this time.

"I'm really tempted, but my computer equipment isn't very good, and I haven't been able to practice my skills lately, so I think I'll pass."

Upon hearing this, the customer service representative understood.

So, they want to raise the price!

Lin Chen rubbed his forehead and sighed again.

However, this time, he was gritting his teeth.

The other party seemed to have him cornered, certain that no matter what price they asked for, he would pay!

In fact, from a profit perspective, the fact that the player who got the first kill can come to the offline competition is undoubtedly a huge highlight.

At that time, a strong publicity campaign, the sale of merchandise, and advertising will be enough to recoup the tens of thousands of yuan spent.

As long as he is willing to come, the organizers will do their best to meet his needs.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen raised his head, glanced at the customer service representative, and made a gesture.

"Add another 50,000."

"That's right!"

"If he tries to raise the price, just tell him that I'm not going to serve him anymore!"

"Damn it, if you want to fleece me, there has to be a limit!"

Lin Chen also has a temper.

Competition prize money can be paid from the company's accounts, but for this kind of price increase, he has to pay out of his own pocket.

He is rich, but he is not sick.

I recently managed to get a million from my dad, and I can't possibly give it all away here.

In fact, when the price reached 100,000, he already felt a lot of pain in his body.

……

"Well, it's almost there."

Having raised the price to this extent, Lu Chengzhou realized that it must have reached the limit that the other party was willing to accept.

So he said a bunch of polite words of thanks, shamelessly praised the organizers' wisdom, expressed his strong desire to participate, and then hung up the phone.

Lin Chen, on the other end of the phone, scratched his head and stared at the ceiling in frustration.

"I finally managed to coax him here, but I feel like I've been taken advantage of."

"never mind."

"100,000 yuan is just a small amount. If handled well, it can achieve a win-win situation."

Lin Chen comforted himself in this way.

He pushed up his glasses again.

I walked to the window and gazed at the night view in the distance.

At this moment, he thought of Su Qiaoman once again.

Ever since he fell into the water not long ago, Su Qiaoman's gaze towards him has been noticeably different!

She used to look at him like he was trash.

But in the past two days, she has felt a sense of guilt when she looks at him.

It should be easier to ask her out when she feels guilty, right?

"Lu Chengzhou once said that when it comes to pursuing a woman, you have to press your advantage."
