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

Zhang Ling looked at Gu Wanwan apologizing and felt a surge of pride.

As expected of him, he easily won over a girl like Gu Wanwan.

However, since he hasn't won over Guo Le yet, Zhang Ling won't show any overly intimate behavior with any woman.

If Gu Wanwan's family had a real business and could support her integration into the upper echelons of Shanghai's business circle, she wouldn't have needed to worry about Guo Le's opinion at all.

Unfortunately, Gu Wanwan's family was unable to support her.

Once my injuries and strength have subsided, I will go find Guo Le; I must acquire Guo's Pharmaceuticals.

……

At noon, the phone rang.

Chen Zhou answered the phone, and Guo Le's voice came from the other end: "Do you have time?"

Chen Zhou: "It depends on the situation."

Guo Le was clearly puzzled: "Why does it depend on the situation?"

"It depends on whether you're talking about business or personal matters."

Guo Le: "What if it's a private matter?"

Chen Zhou: "I don't have time."

Guo Le: "You'll never find a girlfriend."

Chen Zhou: "That's no trouble for President Guo."

"Actually, we at Guo's Pharmaceutical have prepared the business status and existing projects. Do you have time now? I'll deliver them to you."

Chen Zhou: "Okay, you can deliver it to my house."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xin, who was lying on her side on the sofa playing on her phone, looked at Chen Zhou and said, "Oh, you seem to care quite a bit about Guo's Pharmaceuticals?"

Originally, Chen Xin thought that her brother would only be responsible for purchasing the shares of Guo's Pharmaceutical, and the rest would be left to Ya Xin and Zhou Bao.

But to my surprise, he actually asked to see the business operations and existing projects in person.

"Tell me, have you been possessed?"

Chen Xin pointed a freshly peeled apple at Chen Zhou and said jokingly.

Chen Zhou took the apple from Chen Xin, took a bite, and then put it back in Chen Xin's hand before saying, "After all, it's a deal I negotiated, so naturally I have to oversee it."

Chen Xin didn't care about any of that now. She just looked at her half-eaten apple and said, "I just peeled it!"

Chen Zhou nodded, his expression full of smugness: "That's why I ate it."

Chen Xin gritted her teeth in anger as she looked at the smug Chen Zhou.

What a testament to her hard work!

After being angry for a while, Chen Xin started eating the apple that Chen Zhou had taken a bite out of.

She doesn't dislike her older brother; she just hates that he ruined her hard work.

Just say you want to eat, why are you bullying me like this?

Chen Zhou smiled slightly as he watched Chen Xin munching on an apple like a little hamster.

Soon after, Guo Le, with dark circles under his eyes, walked in carrying a large stack of documents.

Because he had informed the security guards in advance, Guo Le did not encounter any obstacles.

However, what puzzled Chen Zhou was that Guo Le was accompanied by a girl with a ponytail, a white dress, and white socks.

The girl's demeanor resembled that of a literary girl from her school days. Chen Zhou initially thought she was Guo Le's secretary, but he quickly dismissed the idea because her hands were empty, and she wasn't carrying anything.

Chen Zhou looked at Guo Le and asked, "Do you know him?"

Guo Le: "You don't recognize him?"

Seeing how familiar the girl was with the Chen family, Guo Le assumed she was Chen Zhou's friend, but it turns out Chen Zhou didn't recognize her.

Chen Zhou looked at Chen Xin: "Xin Xin, do you know her?"

Chen Xin shook her head: "I don't know him."

At that moment, the girl with the ponytail spoke up with a serious expression: "No need to ask, I am the daughter of the driver and nanny who were fired from your family. My name is Zhang Qianqian."

Chen Zhou: "Get them out."

As soon as Chen Zhou finished speaking, all the servants in the villa who heard his words immediately appeared and went straight to Zhang Qianqian.

Zhang Qianqian looked shocked: "Shouldn't you ask me why I came?"

Chen Zhou didn't even glance at her, but instead turned to the head of the staff and said, "Consult with the security department. We won't hold it against them this time. In the future, if there are other people next to guests, remember to ask them if they recognize them."

As Zhang Qianqian was being dragged out, she continued to shout, "My parents only helped someone with a small favor, why are you firing them!"

Chen Xin glanced at Zhang Qianqian and said, "Is this person mentally ill?"

"They casually revealed the location of their host family and let people into their home at will. We're already being lenient by not sending them to the Inspectorate, and they actually dare to come knocking on our door?"

Chen Xin was clearly confused; she felt that this Zhang Qianqian might have an abnormal brain circuit.

Meanwhile, Zhang Qianqian, who was being dragged out, asked in her mind, "System, didn't you say that if I went directly to the villain, I would leave a memorable and admirable impression of someone who is unafraid of money and power? What's going on here?"

[Please examine your own actions; the system's strategy is correct.]

"Are you kidding me?"

"The moment I entered the Chen family villa, the man's level of affection for me turned negative."

"You said he likes literary girls the most, but he didn't even glance at me, and his affection for me didn't change at all."

"The 'pretty girl' aura she wears is completely useless against him!"

"Also, tell me, what does 999 mean in terms of favorability?"

"Tell me, how do I win him over in this situation? How do I change his inevitable death and become the young mistress of the Chen family?"

[Please examine your own actions to determine the cause.]

After explaining the situation to the head servant, Chen Zhou was about to check on the state of Guo's Pharmaceuticals when he suddenly heard Zhang Qianqian's voice.

Immediately, he looked at Zhang Qianqian, who was being dragged out, but her mouth did not open.

"Heartfelt Flow? There's also a strategy system? That's really interesting."

As Chen Zhou thought this, he simultaneously cast a spiritual energy mark into Zhang Qianqian's body.

Let's deal with the important matters first, and then we'll go and see what Zhang Qianqian's strategy system is all about.

After being thrown out of the Chen family, Zhang Qianqian stomped her foot angrily and left in a huff.

Behind Zhang Qianqian, a figure dressed in black quietly followed.

Upon closer inspection, the person was indeed Ye Wufa.

At this moment, Ye Wufa's expression was complex.

He was very wary of Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou's method of wiping out his men in the desolate mountains was something he couldn't understand at all.

Therefore, Ye Wufa, who originally thought that being a dragon king in a female-oriented novel and having a system by his side was a blessing, also felt a sense of crisis for the first time in a long time.

He no longer lingers among all sorts of beautiful women, but instead begins to seek out the protagonists of female-oriented online novels, kill them, and then let the system absorb their energy to obtain exchange points to exchange for stronger cultivation techniques and combat experience.

Zhang Qianqian is the female protagonist of a female-oriented romance novel that he has recently set his sights on.

According to the script provided by the system, Zhang Qianqian should not have any interaction with the Chen family except that her parents are the Chen family's driver and maid.

But today, contrary to her usual behavior, she came to the Chen family.

Even though Zhang Qianqian was ultimately thrown out of the Chen family, it still made Ye feel deeply uneasy.

Ye Wufa's original plan was to first observe the function of Zhang Qianqian's system before taking targeted action.

However, Zhang Qianqian's unusual behavior made it impossible for Ye to change his mind.

He couldn't let Zhang Qianqian continue to act freely. If Zhang Qianqian really caught Chen Zhou's attention, it would be difficult for him to make a move.

Therefore, we must kill Zhang Qianqian before Chen Zhou discovers her special abilities!
