Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

Despite the fierce stares from those around them, Chen Zhou and Chen Xin walked straight into the venue without glancing at each other.

Because of their overwhelming presence, no one dared to enter the elevator with them.

This resulted in the two of them being the only ones in the huge elevator.

Once you ascend to the top floor, you'll reach the hotel where the gathering will be held.

The hotel has now been booked by several prominent families in Shanghai, including the Chen, Wen, and Liu families, all hoping that their descendants can find their ideal partners.

Now that Liu Ruyan is divorcing Qin Yi, the Wen family knows that Wenrou and Chen Zhou have no chance, while Tong Xiao and Chen Mu want to see Chen Zhou win the heart of the beauty.

Therefore, Liu Ruyan, Wenrou, and Chen Zhou are undoubtedly the main characters at this gathering.

Moreover, everyone knows something about the three of them.

Although Liu Ruyan was married, it was only a marriage of convenience, and nothing actually happened between them.

Wenrou was just keeping a substitute, and now that substitute is dead.

The problems these two have are hardly considered problems among the second-generation rich kids in Shanghai; they're like two well-behaved children.

Therefore, the two are very sought after.

As for Chen Zhou, he was even more extraordinary.

From childhood to adulthood, Chen Zhou was always seen as a role model for other people's children in the eyes of the second generation of Shanghai elites.

He has never had any bad habits since childhood, and is the future successor of the Chen family. He is the dream lover of countless young ladies in Shanghai.

Therefore, the moment Chen Zhou entered the hotel, someone approached him with a glass of red wine.

The others watched and waited to see what would happen to the first warrior who charged forward.

Under everyone's gaze, a tall woman in a light blue dress approached Chen Zhou, who had already walked to the dessert table, and said to Chen Zhou, who had picked up a small cake, "Young Master Chen, I am Guo Le."

Chen Zhou: "Chen Zhou."

Chen Xin hid to the side, intending to see how Chen Zhou would handle this occasion that he would never have attended before.

Guo Le didn't take Chen Zhou's coldness to heart.

This is normal.

Even among wealthy families, there are differences.

It's perfectly normal for a family like the Chen family not to treat you warmly.

But it doesn't matter, Guo Le believes that his own charm alone is enough to make Chen Zhou interested in him.

Guo Le handed the glass of red wine to Chen Zhou: "May I invite Young Master Chen for a drink?"

Chen Zhou took the red wine, took a sip, and continued eating: "I'm a little thirsty after eating so much."

Guo Le was taken aback, then continued, "The desserts here are indeed quite delicious."

She had seen this kind of pure-starvation warrior before.

However, generally speaking, when there are beautiful women around them, they will pay more or less attention to their image.

However, Chen Zhou was completely unaware of this.

He was just there to go through the motions, so he naturally did whatever made him comfortable.

Seeing that Chen Zhou remained completely unmoved, Guo Le couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged.

But thinking of the pharmaceutical company in his family, Guo Le took a deep breath, picked up a dessert, and started eating.

Unlike others who need to start the conversation with alcohol, Chen Zhou is just having some dessert, which is much more relaxed.

"Lele, don't demean yourself like this!"

A voice rang out, and a man in a white suit appeared.

He looked at Chen Zhou: "Friend, you're being incredibly disrespectful. Lele just wants to get to know you; is it necessary to ignore her like this?"

This kind of speech is very much in the spotlight.

With this thought in mind, Chen Zhou activated his Eye of Truth.

As expected, both the newly appeared protector and Guo Le had golden light on them, with the protector's golden light being the most intense. It's unclear what type of protagonist he is.

Secretly, Ye Wufa was also keeping an eye on Chen Zhou's location.

"Alright, let Zhang Ling, that fool, test the waters and see what kind of background this young master of the Chen family has."

Since transmigrating, he has always considered himself the true protagonist, possessing a system yet not being bound by it. However, what happened a couple of days ago truly frightened him.

In less than 10 seconds, everyone in the Dragon King Palace was dead. This kind of strength is a bit too frightening.

Since such a person has already been offended, there is no way to let them continue living.

Therefore, he urgently needed to know information about Chen Zhou in order to take targeted action.

……

Guo Le looked at Zhang Ling, who had suddenly appeared, and an impatient expression appeared on her beautiful face: "Zhang Ling, get out, this is none of your business!"

Zhang Ling turned around, his handsome face full of confusion: "I'm doing this for your own good."

Guo Le retorted angrily, "For my own good?"

"If you really care about me, then you should get out of here right now!"

Guo Le was furious. Zhang Ling was the child of her mother's best friend and had recently been staying at her house, living a life of comfort and ease.

Now that the Guo family's company is being suppressed and is in turmoil, and the new drug has not yet been tested, it is precisely the time when they need a powerful backer.

The Chen family would have been a good choice; aside from offering concessions, they wouldn't have been swallowed up along with the company. But Zhang Ling just had to come out and cause trouble.

idiot!

When I go back this time, I must make sure my mom and her best friend distance themselves from each other and stop seeing each other!

Chen Zhou looked at Guo Le: "Tell me your requirements."

Guo Le was taken aback. What was this all about?

She then said, "I hope the Chen family can invest in our Guo's Pharmaceuticals."

A knowing glint flashed in Chen Zhou's eyes: "So you have a powerful backer, huh?"

"Then we want 10% of the shares."

Guo Le's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but this was within her expectations.

But Chen Zhou immediately offered 10% of the shares, which she naturally could not agree to.

"Young Master Chen, we'd be happy to cooperate, but 10%..."

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Chen Zhou interrupted Guo Le and looked at Zhang Ling: "I only want 10% of the shares, and that's all I ask for."

Guo Le: "What are your requirements?"

If only 10% of the shares are required, it would be quite a good deal if the demands weren't excessive, so Guo Le needs to listen to Chen Zhou's requirements.

Chen Zhou pointed at Zhang Ling: "I want to fight your bodyguard."

Zhang Ling: "I'm not..."

Guo Le interrupted directly, saying, "I agree."

Just by fighting Zhang Ling, you can get a cooperation in return. This deal is too good to pass up.

Everyone in the hall witnessed this scene, and their expressions revealed interest.

Chen Xin quickly came to Chen Zhou's side: "I've sent a message to the bodyguards, they're coming right away."

Chen Zhou patted her head: "Don't worry, I'm better than him."

Zhang Ling sneered and pulled out two bone-piercing needles from his body: "Young Master Chen, although I am just a doctor, I will teach you not to be too arrogant."

Chen Zhou realized that the protagonist was a legendary doctor descending from the mountain.

He put his left hand behind his back and extended his right: "Come on."
