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

Oh, right, let's play chess!

Jiang Aiyu slowly took out the chess box and arranged the chess pieces.

Lu Chengzhou sat down opposite her, deciding to wait for her to go first.

"horse!"

"elephant!"

"I'll take your horse!"

……

Thus, they fought for more than thirty rounds.

Lu Chengzhou's chess skills are improving day by day.

However, when playing chess with a girl, you can't take it too seriously; just be casual.

Jiang Aiyu was studying his chess skills with great seriousness.

"Oh... I've found it."

She looked up at him.

"Teacher, you're letting the water out."

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

Was his leniency really that obvious?

He clearly did a good job acting.

"Teacher, you're looking down on me."

Jiang Aiyu grabbed his collar and pulled him in front of her.

His eyes were serious, and his tone was even more serious.

"What I crave is respect for my opponents, teacher, do you understand?"

Lu Chengzhou nodded.

So Jiang Aiyu let go of him again.

They continued to silently set up the chessboard, waiting for the next round to begin.

Lu Chengzhou really didn't expect that she would keep him playing chess for an entire night.

After that, he just walked around blindly with his eyes closed.

Even if she acted solely on her subconscious, Jiang Aiyu was still no match for him and was utterly defeated.

As the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, Lu Chengzhou excused himself to go to the restroom, ending this terrible battle.

Jiang Aiyu was responsible for cleaning up the mess.

She felt that she had won.

At least in terms of perseverance, she won.

"Teacher, you're still too weak."

328. Today's expenses will all be paid by Young Master Lin.

The reopening of Aomori Zoo was not marked by a grand ceremony.

Firstly, Lu Chengzhou was only thinking about losing money as quickly as possible and ruining the business.

Secondly, we are all the type of people who don't like crowds and really don't appreciate those kinds of art involving banging and percussion.

So things became exceptionally simple.

"Actors playing pandas, bears, and polar bears, please do not move around. Go to your positions immediately."

"Hey, you water vendor over there, you're not allowed to lower your prices arbitrarily!"

"Remember the ticket prices, and don't lower them arbitrarily!"

Lu Chengzhou held a brief morning meeting with his employees, explaining some important points to them.

After the meeting, he treated everyone to a very luxurious breakfast, which moved these recent graduates who were looking for jobs to tears.

After Lu Chengzhou left, they all said that they had never seen such an excellent boss.

Although this boss has some mental issues, he's genuinely good to his employees!

Putting everything else aside, the salary is really high.

Those who have just graduated, like them, don't even earn half as much as them.

Having such a job is undoubtedly a symbol of prestige.

Even if the job involves sitting on a tree branch and breaking bamboo...

"We have to help him out."

"We can't just stand by and watch such a big zoo go bankrupt."

"We need to come up with something special to make them feel that their tickets were worthwhile, then they'll come back next time."

"Don't worry, as long as we work together, we'll eventually make this zoo the best in Yicheng, and even the best in the whole country!"

"What the heck is a high-end zoo?"

In short, everyone's enthusiasm for work is very high.

Among them, a little girl wearing glasses and always speaking in a soft voice timidly raised her hand and made a suggestion.

"My brother is a social media influencer with a lot of followers. Should I ask him to come over and help with some promotion?"

This suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone.

"My senior is a writer, so I asked him to help with some promotion!"

"Oh, right, shall I invite some actors over to act as tourists?"

"Sure, I'll try to persuade the senior girls to come over and sing a song or do some otaku dance or something."

"The boss would be so touched he'd cry if he knew how much we helped him!"

……

Sitting in his office, admiring the scenery outside the window, Lu Chengzhou smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the few tourists in the park.

Lin Chen will definitely come to visit his zoo this afternoon.

In time, they will realize just how much money this project is losing, and will then be grateful for his previous advice.

Wouldn't that be a sure way to get the favor?

As for Brother Xiong, who gave the male lead advice, he'll probably have to resign and leave in disgrace.

The future looks very bright.

dong dong dong~

The knocking on the door interrupted Lu Chengzhou's thoughts.

"Please come in."

The door opened.

Elsa came in carrying a plate of cut fruit.

Today she finally didn't wear a maid outfit, but...

She changed into a bunny girl outfit.

Lu Chengzhou sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Tell me, are you addicted to playing Kospree?"

Aisha smiled and said, "I'm just providing the boss with some work inspiration."

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

I think you're a really wicked little wench; you just want to see me lose control.

Unfortunately, what storms haven't I, Lu Chengzhou, weathered?

Do you think I'd be fooled by your little tricks?

Lu Chengzhou calmly reached out and picked up a piece of apple.

Before I could even put it in my mouth, Elsa snatched it away.

Lu Chengzhou's lips twitched: "What are you doing?"

He clearly felt that his fingers had been insulted and quickly moved them back.

"Don't do anything reckless in broad daylight!"

Elsa remained silent and smiled.

She simply wanted to tease her boss; she had no ill intentions.

Once Lu Chengzhou showed an embarrassed expression, she left satisfied.

To this, Lu Chengzhou could only say...

Have some decency!

After eating the fruit, it's time to get to work.

First, I handle the affairs of the winery, then manage the properties under my name, and simply collect rent and such. Life is really simple and boring.

After finishing his work, it was almost time for Lin Chen to come and visit him.

Lu Chengzhou straightened his clothes a little and went downstairs to greet them.

Lin Chen, along with Xiong Ge and Xiong Ge's think tank members, had already taken a tour of the zoo.

This zoo is sparsely populated.

Those animals also looked strange...

There were a few animals that looked remarkably like humans, which gave Lin Chen a slightly creepy feeling.
