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

Meng Wanyu looked at him with a smile: "How is it? Are you touched?"

Ugh.

How could I not be moved?

This huge bouquet of roses took up so much space on his desk, how was he supposed to study?

"Could you give it to me after school?"

Lu Chengzhou offered a suggestion.

"The desk is too small, it's inconvenient."

Meng Wanyu nodded and called out the window, "Someone come and catch the flowers!"

A tall man who had met Lu Chengzhou a few times reached out from the window and took the flowers.

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

That's so convenient.

This made him want a bodyguard too.

It's available on call and even more effective than Siri.

Wait a minute, it seems like Elsa could do that, right?

Hmm, I'll ask her when I get back, see if she'd be willing to squat on the big tree outside the school and let him come whenever he calls.

……

After the exam, school ended in the afternoon.

Xu Qian waited anxiously outside the senior high school classroom.

In fact, she hadn't spoken to Lu Chengzhou for quite some time.

As for meeting up, she often bumped into him by chance.

However, it was just a chance encounter.

Meng Wanyu's bodyguard always gave her a dangerous look, making her afraid to easily talk to Lu Chengzhou at school.

It's time to get out of school now.

She only dared to sneak over after seeing Meng Wanyu leave with her people first.

Lu Chengzhou packed his schoolbag and chatted and laughed with Lin Chen as they came out of the back door of the classroom.

Upon seeing Xu Qian, Lu Chengzhou's smile faded slightly: "Is there something you need?"

Xu Qian said shyly, "I... I thought you guys should be taking your midterms, so I brought you something."

As she spoke, she handed over the paper bag she had been carrying all the way.

"There is a small desk lamp inside, which can be used for lighting at night."

"There's also a box of sushi, which comes in various flavors."

"Oh, right, there's one more piece of clothing..."

When she mentioned that dress, Xu Qian's voice became much softer, and her face also became a little hot.

Giving someone clothes without their consent is somewhat abrupt.

However, thinking about how they met, she felt that giving Lu a piece of clothing wasn't such a big deal...

"This is a shirt for spring, I don't know if it will fit."

She said quickly, "If it's too small, you can take it back and I'll exchange it."

Before Lu Chengzhou could refuse, she quickly turned around and went downstairs.

Hearing the thumping sounds of her running downstairs, Lin Chen chuckled.

He moved closer to Lu Chengzhou and whispered, "Brother Lu, how many is this?"

Lu Chengzhou shrugged: "What number are you talking about?"

Lin Chen nudged him with his elbow: "Stop pretending! Of course I'm talking about your girlfriend."

Lu Chengzhou said helplessly, "I'm single!"

Knowing full well that you have a lot of romantic opportunities, and still committing to a relationship with someone is simply being a complete scoundrel.

Lu Chengzhou still refused to meet the end of being hacked to death.

Although the road to survival is not as difficult as when they first arrived, they have not yet succeeded.

He would absolutely not consider finding a partner until he was able to leave Yicheng.

"Sigh, I envy neither the lovebirds nor the immortals, but I envy Brother Lu every single day~"

Lin Chen sighed.

He didn't admire those who had three wives and four concubines; what he admired was someone like Brother Lu, whose harem never got into trouble!

That's the hardest thing.

You absolutely can't do it without real skills.

"By the way, Brother Lu, there's actually something else I'd like to ask you for a favor today."

After going downstairs, Lin Chen began to explain why he had waited for him to get out of school today.

Lu Chengzhou glanced at him: "If it's a bet, there's no need to invite me. I'm not interested."

Lin Chen panicked: "No, no, no, it's about business, business!"

As he spoke, he told Lu Chengzhou about his plan to invest in the land.

"Right now, I only have enough money to buy a piece of land."

"However, I've got my eye on three plots of land, and they all seem pretty good!"

"I'd like to ask Brother Lu to help me figure out which piece of land is the most profitable."

Lin Chen handed over the information on the three plots of land to Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Chengzhou frowned, thinking to himself that he didn't have any business acumen, so what could he possibly analyze?

However, after seeing the location of the land and various surrounding information, Lu Chengzhou actually had an idea.

"If we take both of these, we can make a fortune in less than six months."

Lu Chengzhou rejected one of the plots of land outright.

Moreover, they denied it very decisively!

Lin Chen looked confused, still studying the piece of land that Lu Chengzhou had rejected.

To be honest, he had been studying the information on these three plots of land for two days, and the one he was most optimistic about was the one that Lu Chengzhou had rejected.

"Brother Lu, I really don't understand why you're so skeptical of this piece of land?"

"There's no reason why; it's a secret that can't be revealed."

Lu Chengzhou kept it a secret.

In fact, he knew there was something wrong with the land purely from the descriptions in the original work.

In the original novel, there's a scene where the male protagonist loses money buying land. Enraged, he leads a group of people to give the developer a sound beating and stuff them into sacks.

Is this reasonable?

This doesn't make sense!

Even if a deal falls through, goodwill should remain. Besides, the developer didn't force him to buy it, so what right does he have to hit someone?

But that's the world of fiction, where everything illogical can be explained as reasonable.

Moreover, they can portray the male protagonist who beats people as an enforcer of justice!

Lin Chen hissed when he heard the words "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed".

"Brother Lu, when did you start studying celestial secrets?"

Lu Chengzhou smiled without saying a word.

If it were in the past, he would have been scolded for talking to Lin Chen like that.

But things are different now.

Even if he told Lin Chen to drop out of school, Lin Chen would probably do it.

Not to mention, it's something like buying land.

This amount of money is a lot for the average person, but what is it to the richest person in a region?

Lin Chen also intended to acquire these two plots of land, but he didn't have enough cash on hand.

"But, Brother Lu, I don't have enough money right now to buy two plots of land."

How much more is needed?

Lin Chen said apologetically, "We're still short about 20 million."

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

Twenty million is indeed a lot.

However, it's not impossible to win him over.

Lu Chengzhou took out his phone and tried sending text messages to the Meng sisters.

After explaining the land purchase, both of them said they could transfer the money immediately.

As for interest...?

How could there be interest?

Just because they don't want it doesn't mean Lu Chengzhou won't give it to them. He has to give them something, just as a token.

However, after he offered to pay interest, both of their responses became somewhat ambiguous.

Meng Wanyu: "Teacher Lu, my interest is for two hours."

Sister Meng: "I hope the interest you give me is not just money."
