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

Qin Menglan deliberately asked this question.

"How about we go to the zoo again? I remember Aomori Zoo is nice and very interesting."

Lin Chen looked at her coldly: "You really want to go to the zoo?"

Qin Menglan smiled and shrugged: "Is that not allowed?"

Qin Menglan is not as honest and simple as she seems.

She knew very well that her relationship with Lin Chen was one of mutual exploitation, and there was no affection involved at all.

Even if she deliberately touched a sore spot on Lin Chen, Lin Chen would at most just glare at her and wouldn't do anything to her.

Lin Chen put down his chopsticks.

"If you want to go to the zoo, I'll pay for the tickets, and I won't go."

"Aren't you being a bit unfair by not staying with your brother?"

Lin Chen's brow twitched.

The way he looked at Qin Menglan became increasingly dangerous.

"I told you, I have something to do later!"

Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, Lu Chengzhou slowly added, "If you want to go to the zoo, I'm afraid it's not possible today. Most of the attractions are closed. I'm sorry, Miss Qin."

This conciliatory remark struck a chord with Lin Chen.

The situation changed suddenly.

He originally brought his female friends to show off to Lu Chengzhou, but unexpectedly, Lu Chengzhou saved him.

When asked to express his gratitude, he couldn't bring himself to say "thank you."

After all, he swore every day that he would do better than Lu Chengzhou and make Su Qiaoman regret it!

Lu Chengzhou has become his number one imaginary enemy.

How is he supposed to thank the enemy?

"Have you finished eating, junior?"

Lu Chengzhou didn't want to say anything more to this conflicted guy.

After they had eaten enough, they prepared to take Xu Qian away.

Xu Qian ate the least during the entire meal, but when she heard that she could walk, she quickly stood up and followed Lu Chengzhou.

After Lu Chengzhou and the other person left, Lin Chen, with a gloomy face, overturned the entire dining table.

Qin Menglan watched him go crazy with a smile.

Once he had calmed down enough, she suddenly blurted out a strange question: "Tell me, what exactly are your feelings for this Brother Lu? It seems like you both love and hate him. You're not gay, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen turned around and kicked over the chair.

The loud noise in the private room even triggered the alarm.

However, the managers and their colleagues only dared to wait outside and didn't dare to come in and take another look.

Lin Chen left the money for the meal and compensation, then stormed off in a huff.

Qin Menglan was left sitting alone, recalling every detail of what had just happened.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Chen is such a childish man!

Compared to Lu Chengzhou's calm and composed demeanor, he seemed like a rebellious brat.

In comparison, the difference is obvious.

If it weren't for the friendship between their parents, she really wanted to talk to Lu Chengzhou and explore his inner self.

……

Lu Chengzhou escorted Xu Qian to the school gate.

Xu Qian, who stepped out of the luxury car, received unprecedented attention.

Although Tongcheng University is a prestigious university, it is not exactly a private school, so it is rare to see such a luxury car.

Xu Qian wasn't vain at all, and she couldn't handle this kind of situation, so she put on her hat, covered her face, and hurriedly left.

Lu Chengzhou watched her leave and then closed the car door.

I restarted the car and prepared to return to the winery.

……

Later that day, the leaders of the several powerful families who had joined forces, the big boss who had spent a lot of money on Lu Chengzhou, once again came to visit with gifts.

This time, he not only came alone, but also brought several bodyguards with him.

When they entered, they looked completely menacing.

Lu Chengzhou has ignored him for so many days; even the most hopeful person would have their illusions shattered by now.

The big boss stormed in, heading straight for Lu Chengzhou's residence.

Lu Chengzhou didn't even lock the door, letting him in directly.

In the bedroom, Lu Chengzhou was the only one.

When the big boss arrived, he saw him tuning a new piano.

Lu Chengzhou's piano playing skills are truly nothing to write home about.

However, while he was playing the piano, the other person really didn't dare to make any rash moves and could only patiently listen to him play the whole piece.

"Does it sound good?"

Lu Chengzhou actually had the nerve to ask him if it sounded good!

The big boss's face contorted as he managed to say with difficulty, "It sounds nice."

Lu Chengzhou smiled and said, "You came all this way to see me, surely not just to drink my tea?"

That's what he said, but he still prepared the best tea for the other party.

Not only the big boss got a share, but even his bodyguards and subordinates got a share.

While sipping his tea, the other party had to suppress his desire to make trouble.

However, the tea will eventually run out.

"Mr. Lu, so much time has passed, but I still want to hear your thoughts now."

The big boss finished his entire cup of tea and stared at him intently.

Lu Chengzhou smiled and said, "My idea is, of course, to hope that everyone can live in peace."

The big boss said coldly, "At this point, you still talk about peaceful coexistence? Do you think that's realistic?"

"Therefore, we have no choice but to fight to the end."

Lu Chengzhou poured him another cup of tea.

"You and the Meng family must decide the winner. The winner will gain all the glory and wealth, and an absolutely unshakeable position. The loser will be bankrupt, forced to leave the business world, and may even be imprisoned."

Upon hearing Lu Chengzhou's words, the big boss's expression changed.

Lu Chengzhou seems to be...

Threaten him?

No, he must have misunderstood.

"Mr. Lu, is it inconvenient for you to explicitly take sides?" The big boss lowered his voice, clinging to his last hope, and asked this question: "If it's inconvenient, actually..."

Lu Chengzhou interrupted him.

"Actually, I've already made my choice, haven't I?"

These words plunged the big boss into despair.

Lu Chengzhou calmly said, "I've already said that I hope everyone can live in peace."

Before the big boss could continue speaking, Lu Chengzhou stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the windowsill.

Then, he said a series of things that sent chills down the boss's spine:

“If you dissolve your alliance now, I estimate you can still retain more than 60% of your assets.”

“If you continue to resist the Meng family, you will lose another 10% of your assets every week.”

"In a month, no, maybe just twenty days, you will receive a court summons."

"At that point, the game was completely over."

"You should think carefully about whether you have done anything illegal."

"If not, then you will probably only need to serve three to five years in prison."

"If so, I'm sorry, but you'll most likely die of old age in prison."

"After all, your opponent is no ordinary ruthless person, but Meng Wanyu."

Hearing him say that, the bodyguards behind the big boss were all tempted to beat him up.

The big boss stared intently at him.

Even after Lu Chengzhou said those words, he still felt that Lu Chengzhou had not chosen the Meng family, but rather the facts.

"The situation is clear now, it's time to turn back, boss."

Lu Chengzhou shrugged.

"Don't pay a heavy price for your arrogant ambitions."

As he spoke, he emphasized one more point:

"Based on the sincerity you've shown, I will help you extricate yourself from this situation to the greatest extent possible."

……

From the moment the big boss stepped into the winery until he left, it took less than half an hour.
