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

He naturally didn't think that the mysterious businessman would be Lu Chengzhou.

So, during one of her regular meetings with Lu Chengzhou, she jokingly brought up this bizarre incident.

"My dad is really something, he's getting senile!"

"He actually forced me to make a golden statue for him!"

"Such a large statue, it must weigh at least four or five hundred kilograms to be made?"

"But where am I supposed to buy four or five hundred kilograms of gold now?"

Lu Chengzhou wanted to laugh as he listened to Lin Chen's complaints, but he had to remain calm and silently poured Lin Chen more tea.

"Please calm down, Young Master Lin." Lu Chengzhou patted his shoulder sympathetically.

"Actually, I'm not someone who lacks those few hundred kilograms of gold."

At this moment, Lin Chen was still trying his best to save face.

"I just feel that we shouldn't waste money on places like this, don't you think, Brother Lu?"

Lu Chengzhou nodded, then sighed with feigned melancholy.

Next, it's time to sell the gold.

Lu Chengzhou felt he should at least double his money from the large amount of gold he acquired before the Spring Festival.

But besides making money, he also needs to win over the male lead.

“Master Lin only has one son, and now he is seriously ill and his life is hanging by a thread. I think…” Lu Chengzhou pretended to be hesitant and said, “I think we should still try our best to fulfill our filial duties.”

Lin Chen's eyes darted away.

Pick up the teacup.

He drank it all in one gulp.

"Yes, yeah."

How could he not want to fulfill his filial duty?

The old man still has a lot of connections and resources. If he can't get the old man's approval, he can't use the Lin family's former influence.

At this critical juncture, offending the old man would be a very unwise move.

At this point, Lu Chengzhou leaned close to Lin Chen's ear and whispered, "The Meng family has always had a large reserve of gold. Why don't you go and talk to them?"

Upon hearing that he was going to do business with the Meng family, Lin Chen slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"joke!"

What he hated most was Meng Wanyu, that scheming woman.

Doing business with Meng Wanyu always gave him a sense of dread, as if he might be teased by her at any moment.

“If you trust me, Young Master Lin, I can go with you and try my best to persuade her to sell it to you at a lower price.”

At this moment, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and gave him a hostile look.

"Brother Lu, you two aren't in cahoots, are you?"

How could that be?

Lu Chengzhou smiled wryly and shook his head: "I would like to be on her side, but I am of lowly status and I don't have the confidence to speak. How can she treat me sincerely?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen had a few seconds of doubt.

After all, everyone already knew that Meng Wanyu favored Lu Chengzhou.

Such favoritism makes it hard to believe that Lu Chengzhou had a bad time with her.

However, Lu Chengzhou's expression was very sincere.

The helplessness and pain in his voice didn't seem fake.

"That's true. The Meng family is a top-tier wealthy family, several classes higher than my Lin family. She doesn't even look down on me, so how could she really be interested in a commoner like Lu Chengzhou?"

Lin Chen's arrogance came into play at this moment, leading him to make a completely wrong judgment.

Lu Chengzhou saw a hint of contempt in his eyes.

This is good.

What he wanted was the effect of being looked down upon by the male protagonist.

"Then, Mr. Lin, please set a time so I can make an appointment with Miss Meng."

"Let's do it tonight then."

Lin Chen was also eager to get started.

If he could acquire several hundred kilograms of gold from Meng Wanyu at a low price, he could resell it for a high price.

As for creating a golden statue?

Haha, just gilding it will do.

What does the old man know about gold...?

He just likes the feeling of gold.

……

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Yicheng Winery.

After explaining the matter to Meng Wanyu, Lu Chengzhou told her to cooperate well and not to mess up the performance.

Meng Wanyu looked at him with a half-smile.

"The brotherhood between the two of you is even more plastic than plastic."

How could Lu Chengzhou not hear the sarcasm in her words?

However, he just smiled.

“Even between brothers, accounts must be settled clearly. Besides, he and I are not blood brothers.”

As he spoke, he poured Meng Wanyu a cup of tea.

"Moreover, Miss Meng may have some misunderstanding about me. I'm not asking you to rip him off, and I even want to sell him this batch of gold at a price slightly below the market price."

"Oh?"

Meng Wanyu picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and then put it down.

She still didn't really like the taste of tea.

"Between brothers, besides discussing the price, we also need to consider the relationship."

Lu Chengzhou sat down in the chair to her right, tactically leaning back to adjust to a comfortable sitting position.

"I earn a little bit, and I let my brothers earn a little bit more, so that our brotherhood can last longer."

Meng Wanyu leaned closer, lowered her voice, and deliberately asked, "Then why did I hear that you bought this batch of gold before the Spring Festival?"

Lu Chengzhou glanced at her.

Meng Wanyu continued, "At that time, the price of gold was the lowest in ten years. Everyone was watching and waiting, but you made a decisive move. It's hard not to have wild thoughts about that, isn't it?"

Lu Chengzhou raised an eyebrow.

He smiled without saying a word.

Yes, it's hard not to let your imagination run wild.

However, apart from Miss Meng, who has connections everywhere, no one else knows about this.

He knew Meng Wanyu's personality.

If she wanted to betray him, she wouldn't have revealed the information she knew at this time.

All she wanted was some affirmation from him, and some compensation.

"Miss Meng, how would you like to play this time?"

Lu Chengzhou reached out and brushed a strand of long hair behind her ear.

At this moment, he remained calm and composed.

A hint of desire lurked in his deep eyes.

Meng Wanyu looked at him, and her heart suddenly raced.

This guy...

The true nature of the prey is not that of the prey, but rather that of the hunter.

He's such a good actor.

However, she likes it.

She licked her lips and smiled alluringly.

"Then, I'll go?"

"Yes, I like it very much."

……

11:30.

Lin Chen's car arrived at Yicheng Winery on time.

Inside the car, besides him and the driver, there were bodyguards and Brother Xiong.

Brother Xiong came with him, but not voluntarily.

It was mainly Master Lin's order.

Master Lin was very concerned about the gold.

However, in Brother Xiong's opinion, the best time to acquire gold has passed, and is gone forever.

He personally does not recommend that Mr. Lin request this golden statue.

However, since Master Lin insisted on his own way, he had no choice but to help Lin Chen with the acquisition.
