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

And that's exactly what she guessed.

It can be said that Lu Chengzhou was the sole cause of her family's failure to open a store this time.

Although he didn't do it intentionally, he still felt quite guilty.

He wanted to make it up to Xu Qian.

However, giving money directly is definitely not an option.

A girl as upright as Xu Qian wouldn't accept his money; in fact, she might even get angry at him for giving her money.

We'll have to change our approach.

Lu Chengzhou said seriously, "I want to collect them into a book, print them out, and enjoy them when I have some free time. Is that a problem?"

Xu Qian softly hummed in agreement: "No problem..."

But can this kind of work really be paid by the hour?

If she's deliberately trying to slack off, wouldn't Senior Lu be at a disadvantage?

Perhaps sensing her concerns, Lu Chengzhou added, "If it's copying, it's indeed not appropriate to calculate wages by the hour, so let's calculate by word count instead."

"Word count?!"

Xu Qian was shocked again.

Extracting information is nothing compared to writing a paper; it's a job that requires very little technical skill.

She casually threw in some nonsense, and Senior Lu suffered an even greater loss.

Lu Chengzhou pretended to think about it seriously for a moment and said, "Just one word, one yuan."

Xu Qian: "..."

Is it that Senior Lu has no business acumen, or that he deliberately wanted to help her?

He probably felt sorry for her and wanted to help her.

Lu Chengzhou stood up and tossed away the empty milk tea cup in his hand.

"I have something to do, so I'll be going now. If you're willing to do it, you can go back and start preparing."

"Senior Lu, wait a minute!"

Xu Qian chased after her.

In her haste, she grabbed his sleeve.

Lu Chengzhou turned around and glanced at her.

"Is there anything else?"

"I want to, I want to..."

Xu Qian stammered as she tried to organize her thoughts, and after a long while, she managed to say with difficulty, "Senior Lu, could you advance me the salary for one hundred words?"

Lu Chengzhou looked at her strangely: "Sure, you can."

But what's the difference between her statement and borrowing 100 yuan?

Does she not even have a hundred yuan left?

Xu Qian whispered, "My computer broke down a long time ago and there's no way to fix it. I don't have the money to buy a new one, so I have to work at an internet cafe."

Indeed, they couldn't even come up with a hundred yuan.

My mother is becoming increasingly strict with her finances.

What could she do?

"Are minors allowed in internet cafes?"

"The internet cafe manager is a relative of mine, so she was able to let me in."

"OK then."

As they were talking, Lu Chengzhou handed over the money in his hand.

It's not one hundred dollars, it's one thousand dollars.

Xu Qian was stunned.

She instinctively wanted to refuse, but Lu Chengzhou simply shoved it into her hand.

"Do a good job, don't let me down."

He smiled and raised his hand.

He wanted to pat her head, but considering that they weren't very familiar with each other, he could only regretfully put his hand down.

Xu Qian clearly noticed his action.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She didn't know where she got the courage, but she grabbed Lu Chengzhou's hand, placed it on her head, and rubbed it.

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

Such soft hair.

What an adorable girl.

Oh no, this is bad...

This made him feel somewhat guilty.

He quickly withdrew his hand.

Xu Qian blushed, waved goodbye, and quickly left Lu Chengzhou's sight.

"Ugh, this is so embarrassing!" Xu Qian rubbed her face vigorously. "What am I doing?!"

I didn't feel my face burning just a moment ago, but now it feels incredibly hot.

How could I have been so bold as to actually try to please Senior Lu!

As Lu Chengzhou watched her departing figure, his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

A unique kind of sweet girl always brings a unique experience.

However, he is currently only looking at the cute junior with an appreciative attitude, anticipating her performance.

But at that moment, a meaningful voice rang out above his head.

Lu Chengzhou looked in the direction of the sound and saw Aisha with a cunning smile.

Elsa had obviously witnessed what had just happened.

She raised an eyebrow and said deliberately:

"Mr. Lu, it seems you really like this girl named Xu Qian."

275. Asha, are you serious?

Lu Chengzhou snorted.

He wasn't intimidated and bluntly stated, "Who doesn't like a cute girl? I'm not a eunuch."

Elsa smiled but didn't say anything.

Of course, she had considered reporting what Lu Chengzhou had just done to the two Miss Mengs.

But, for some reason, the thought vanished the moment I raised my phone to take a picture.

Perhaps I also have some feelings for Mr. Lu?

So, not a single photo was taken.

Lu Chengzhou then asked, "So, have you gotten any results from the investigation?"

Aisha straightened up and said casually, "The result is in, but I'd rather report to Miss Meng about Mr. Lu's womanizing ways."

As she spoke, she deliberately shook her phone.

Lu Chengzhou shrugged: "Okay, go ahead."

"Mr. Lu, aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Lu Chengzhou laughed nonchalantly: "You don't actually think that can threaten me, do you?"

"But Mr. Lu is now the prospective son-in-law of the Meng family."

As Aisha spoke, she walked downstairs.

She suddenly had a wicked idea: she wanted to play a trick on Mr. Lu and see under what circumstances this womanizing man would break down.

"The Meng family's prospective son-in-law is having affairs outside. What will Master Meng do if he finds out?"

Lu Chengzhou still had a smiling face.

However, a sly glint flashed in his eyes.

You're trying to threaten him, aren't you?

This mischievous female bodyguard has been becoming increasingly disrespectful to him lately.

Lu Chengzhou felt that he should take this opportunity to properly discipline her.

So, he walked up to Aisha without making a sound.

Lu Chengzhou, who exuded no aura of aggression whatsoever, naturally did not make Aisha wary of him.

It wasn't until Lu Chengzhou walked up to her, suddenly snatched her phone, grabbed both of her wrists, and pushed her into the empty fitting room next door that a hint of panic flashed through her mind.

"Mr. Lu, you...!"

Lu Chengzhou pressed down on both of her hands, raised them above her head, and pinned them against the wall.

Her legs were clamped tightly between his legs, and she couldn't move at all.

This female bodyguard, skilled in martial arts, was firmly locked down in front of this man who possessed a system.

For a moment, Aisha could only blink and stare at him in disbelief.
