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

"I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Lu Chengzhou wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, sighed, and solemnly patted Lin Chen on the shoulder.

Silence speaks louder than words; everything is understood without being said.

After it was over, Lu Chengzhou personally escorted Lin Chen to the door.

Looking at Lin Chen's face, Brother Xiong knew that the outcome of the negotiations would definitely not be what he wanted.

This foolish young master Lin has probably been fooled by Lu Chengzhou again!

But at this point, Brother Xiong didn't want to criticize or blame anyone anymore.

He swallowed his anger and got into the car, intending to take Lin Chen home first.

At this moment, Lin Chen suddenly said, "Do you want to guess at what price Meng Wanyu sold that batch of gold to me?"

Brother Xiong was silent for a moment, then said, "It's probably close to the market price, right? She's being polite by not profiting from your misfortune."

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head: "The price she gave me was a full ten yuan lower than the market price!"

In Xiong Ge's view, this result was somewhat unexpected, but not too unacceptable.

If Lu Chengzhou wanted to maintain his image as a nice guy with Lin Chen, he couldn't openly take advantage of him.

Therefore, if you want to rip someone off, you can only do it in secret.

Brother Xiong said seriously, "Young Master Lin, you should probably investigate when they acquired this batch of gold."

Lin Chen frowned: "You still suspect that the two of them are in cahoots?"

Brother Xiong: "It's not a doubt, it's a certainty."

Lin Chen sighed and shook his head.

"You really should have seen what happened at the negotiating table just now. Only after seeing it will you realize how far Lu Chengzhou would go to protect me!"

"I used to always doubt him, but now I don't want to doubt him anymore!"

"How you want to investigate is your business. I'm tired, and I don't want to get involved."

His words were undoubtedly a direct attempt to absolve himself of any responsibility.

However, he secretly acquiesced to Brother Xiong's investigation.

As Xiong Ge started the car, he couldn't help but wonder, was this Young Master Lin really a simpleton, or was he just pretending?

Logically speaking, a tiger father begets no dog son...

Even if he is not as good as his father, Master Lin, he shouldn't be too far behind, right?

Is he really so blind to Lu Chengzhou's tricks?

In fact, although Lin Chen had some doubts, he was always defeated by the other party's emotional appeal.

Ultimately, he's not the male lead in a business war novel, but rather the male lead in a romance drama.

Even for someone with strong emotions, this is something they can't help.

……

A few days later.

Brother Xiong knocked on Lin Chen's bedroom door with his investigation results.

Seeing his solemn expression, Lin Chen knew that the investigation results would definitely not be ideal.

"The Meng family's assets are simply too enormous."

"This little bit of gold is just a drop in the ocean compared to all their gold reserves!"

"Lu Chengzhou is really too smart; he actually managed to find such a powerful backer."

"He completely cleared himself of suspicion, leaving me with no real evidence against him."

Brother Xiong felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.

He slumped onto the sofa, thinking about all his achievements in his life, and then about the troubles he had suffered at Lu Chengzhou's hands. He couldn't help but clench his hair tightly.

"I have never encountered such a cunning opponent..."

Lin Chen walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

Brother Xiong looked up at him.

But all I saw was a termination letter in his hand and his pay card.

Brother Xiong was stunned.

Lin Chen smiled and sat down beside him.

"Brother Xiong, I asked you to investigate this matter so that you would give up completely."

Upon hearing this, Brother Xiong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

His body trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.

Lin Chen was scheming against him and watching him make a fool of himself!

“Lu Chengzhou is my brother. You either accept him or leave me.”

There was absolutely no room for negotiation in those words.

It's purely an order.

Brother Xiong covered his mouth and staggered to his feet.

Trembling fingers slowly dug into their own flesh.

He suddenly became angry.

I've spent my whole life working for the Lin family, so why did I end up like this?

"Young Master Lin, are you sure you want to send me away?"

Brother Xiong asked this question with difficulty, his voice hoarse.

Lin Chen, who had never been decisive in the past, nodded firmly this time.

“I’ve already given you many chances. I can’t give you any more chances. That wouldn’t be fair to my brother.”

As he spoke, fearing that Brother Xiong would bring up Master Lin's words again, he directly blocked him from saying that.

“I will personally go to my father's side and tell him that you have retired and returned to your hometown, and that I have made proper arrangements for you.”

Brother Xiong closed his eyes.

He concealed the pain in his eyes.

At that moment, he suddenly seemed to have a change of heart and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Under Lin Chen's complicated gaze, he laughed and walked out of the Lin family home.

Lin Chen frowned: "This old man isn't going to jump off a building, is he?"

Thinking this, he couldn't help but stand up and secretly follow Brother Xiong's steps.

……

Brother Bear was wandering the streets.

He was so distraught that he didn't even notice that someone was following him.

He sat on a park bench for a long time.

As night fell and the surrounding tourists gradually dispersed, he took out his phone and dialed the number of the opponent he hated so much.

"Hey?"

Lu Chengzhou's voice stirred up the anger in his heart.

However, he did not express his anger.

In fact, his tone was quite obsequious.

“Mr. Lu, I think you probably still remember me. I’d like to know if I could find a job with you? Yes, I’m good at financial management, and I also have a large management team.”

Lu Chengzhou chuckled on the other end of the phone and said, "Sure, welcome."

"You...you're really willing to give me a job?"

The fact that they had infiltrated the enemy so easily left Brother Xiong speechless for a moment.

Lu Chengzhou laughed heartily.

"Of course, my house is quite big, and I have plenty of bowls and chopsticks, so please come over."

After hanging up the phone, Brother Xiong was a little confused.

Why is Lu Chengzhou acting like a naive and innocent person, not even giving himself a minute to consider things?

This doesn't seem like his cunning and treacherous nature at all!

For a moment, even the cunning and shrewd Brother Xiong began to doubt his previous judgment.

At this moment, Lin Chen, who had been following him and fearing that he might commit suicide, turned away with a gloomy face and strode away.

He felt ashamed and angry at his recent compassion.

The image of Brother Xiong in his mind completely collapsed at this moment.

"That two-faced scoundrel!"

349. Are you drugging someone?

Brother Xiong brought the elite team that originally belonged to the male lead and directly joined Lu Chengzhou's team.

This matter also greatly surprised Meng Wanyu.

It's important to know that most of these people have been with the Lin family for over twenty years. In the past twenty years, no matter what kind of listed company tries to poach them, they can't be persuaded to leave!

Especially this older man nicknamed Brother Bear, who is a legend in the financial world.

Although he lacks emotional intelligence, his IQ is more than sufficient!

Lu Chengzhou originally only wanted to get rid of him from the male lead's side, but he never expected that this guy would offer to join him.
