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

Upon hearing these words, Chen Xin's smile vanished instantly.

When he saw his brother come back, he thought his savior had returned.

Now it seems that I wasn't the savior.

Left with no other choice, Chen Xin sat down stiffly and continued watching Chen Ming's fashion show, offering her mechanical comments.

"Zhou, come sit here," Tong Xiao said.

Originally, Chen Zhou was planning to sit next to Chen Xin, but after hearing this, he sat down next to Tong Xiao.

At the same time, part of his mind had already begun to conceive of how to transform the strategy system into the most suitable model for the ten mountains in Shanghai.

We must not only pursue efficiency, but also connect it to the future connection of more mountains and rivers.

Therefore, we cannot blindly connect directly; we need to conduct some research and simulations.

The little figure sat on Chen Zhou's right shoulder, idly swinging its toes.

She is a strategy system, but Chen Zhou has absolutely no use for her ability to eat.

On the way back, Chen Zhou had already broken down all of her abilities, such as her aura, charm, figure, and voice, into their most essential source.

In other words, she is now just a blank system with only connectivity capabilities.

Until Chen Zhou develops her new function, she can only play the role of a useless person for the time being.

However, she is quite looking forward to the new ability.

After Chen Zhou sat down next to her, Tong Xiao asked, "Did a girl come to our house today?"

She actually knew who it was: Guo Le from Guo's Pharmaceuticals.

The young lady is pretty and has a good character; she might be a good candidate for a daughter-in-law.

Chen Zhou nodded and said, "Guo Le, the president of Guo's Pharmaceutical, is the company we acquired a 10% stake in for 35 billion. She came to my house today only because I asked her to compile a list of Guo's Pharmaceutical's existing projects and business operations and send it over."

Chen Zhou was naturally aware of Tong Xiao's thoughts, so he directly pointed out Guo Le's identity in Guo's Pharmaceuticals.

The intention was simple: to convey to Tongxiao that we are just normal colleagues with no intimate relationship, and that she shouldn't even think about matchmaking.

Tong Xiao fell silent.

Before she could even unleash her combo, Ah Zhou had already begun blocking part of the road.

"Do you have a girl you like? Should Mom propose marriage on your behalf?"

Chen Zhou shook his head and said bluntly, "No."

To prevent Tong Xiao from bringing it up again, Chen Zhou said, "Guo's Pharmaceuticals still has some matters to attend to, I need to keep an eye on it."

Having said that, without giving Tong Xiao a chance to react, Chen Zhou swiftly made his escape.

Seeing Chen Zhou running away, Tong Xiao said helplessly, "Could it be that Zhou is afraid of marriage?"

……

At this moment, Guo Le, along with a group of people holding cheering sticks, arrived at the research lab of the miracle potion.

Inside the research room, a blond, blue-eyed elderly man in a white lab coat saw Guo Le and his face lit up with joy: "Boss, I heard that our company has made some money again. I wonder when we'll be able to allocate some of the Miracle Potion here."

As the old man spoke, his eyes were filled with greed.

The Miracle Drugs project has already depleted Guo's Pharmaceuticals' working capital.

He had assumed the Guo family would abandon the project and were ready to run away.

Unexpectedly, Guo Le had the audacity to sell 10% of his own shares.

Upon learning of this, the old man's thoughts began to stir again.

There's still money to be made from Guo's Pharmaceuticals; he can completely squeeze Guo's Pharmaceuticals dry!

Behind the blond old man were a dozen or so foreigners with different hair colors.

One of the tall men, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, spoke in broken English: "Miss Guo, the development of the miracle potion is nearing completion. With just a little more investment in research funding, we can definitely achieve complete success."

"At that time, the path of human evolution will be fully opened, and you will become a pioneer in the history of human evolution."

Guo Le sneered: "Make your move."

At Guo Le's command, a group of people behind her waved their cheering sticks at the old man and his companions.

Guo Le sat on the experimental chair and began to look through the computer in the experiment.

The moment Guo Le saw the contents of the computer screen, he felt utterly stupid.

The computer contained absolutely nothing related to experiments; it only contained games, movies, and other entertainment.

These people are all useless!

In the vast laboratory, cries of agony, pleas for mercy, and angry curses filled the air.

In addition, there was the whooshing sound of sticks.

The sounds of flesh striking flesh with elbows and sticks rang out continuously, but Guo Le merely watched coldly.

Soon, the dozen or so people in the lab were covered in sores from the warm and powerful cheering sticks.

Seeing that it was about time, Guo Le finally spoke up, "We can stop now."

The cheering sticks stopped, and Guo Le approached the blond old man who was huddled up with his head in his hands, coldly saying, "Old man, I'll give you a chance. Hand over your bank account and password."

The old man had originally wanted to question Guo Le about why he had attacked them for no reason, but at this moment, his heart had already turned cold.

The truth has come out.

No, that shouldn't be the case.

Given the example of Guo Le's grandfather, Guo Le shouldn't have discovered the problem with the miracle drug.

However, it is impossible to admit it.

He released his grip, revealing his bruised and bloodied head, his face filled with confusion: "Boss, what... are you saying?"

Because of the pain, his speech was choked with sobs.

Guo Le stepped back: "Continue, you can break arms and legs."

Immediately, the light sticks were waved again.

Just then, Guo Le's phone vibrated.

She took it out and saw that it was a message from Chen Zhou, saying that he had arrived at Guo's Pharmaceutical and was now asking her where she was.

Guo Le thought for a moment and told his men to continue, as long as they didn't kill anyone.

As for Guo Le himself, he went to pick up Chen Zhou.

However, the moment Guo Le went downstairs, he didn't notice the greedy expressions on the faces of those thugs.

Soon, Guo Le arrived at the reception area, where Chen Zhou was already waiting.

At this moment, to outsiders, Chen Zhou was quietly drinking tea and playing with his phone.

Actually.

The strategy character is laughing out loud: [Don't touch me there, it tickles!]

Chen Zhou: "Just bear with it and it will pass. It might still hurt a bit afterwards."

Chen Zhou has not yet officially started modifying the strategy system; he is currently gaining a comprehensive understanding of the overall qualities of the strategy characters.

With this understanding, the renovation will be more targeted.

Guo Le approached Chen Zhou and said, "Young Master Chen."

Chen Zhou looked at Guo Le, or more accurately, at Guo Le's fortune.

At this moment, a black mark appeared on Guo Le's aura.

Furthermore, the blackness shows signs of expanding.

Even the strategy guide was somewhat surprised: [Wait, how could the female lead be in a deadly situation? Where is her male lead?]

Chen Zhou: "You absorb a portion of the luck."

"Are you the male lead?" The villain was filled with doubt and surprise.

Then she shook her head.

[No, no, you're the villain, so you're the one who beat up the male lead!]
