Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

"Fellow villager! What should I do now?"

Lu Jingxiu asked the question sincerely, feeling that Chu Jin was incredibly professional at this moment!

Chu Jin said seriously, "It's right for you to ask her to help you investigate the mastermind, to get her involved, and to help you, but the problem lies in the last few sentences."

Lu Jingxiu seemed thoughtful: "So, I shouldn't have said those things?"

"You can say it, but you can't make it sound like a farewell speech." Chu Jin rolled her eyes.

She patiently explained, "After you get the materials, pat her on the shoulder and say, 'Thanks, I'll treat you to dinner another day.' That's returning the favor; it's normal social interaction."

You said, "If you take this information, we'll be even, and we can be friends from now on."

"This is called a dying wish, which means 'I'm dying soon, I don't want to be a burden to you, take good care of yourself from now on.'"

Chu Jin continued to speculate: "So, your current storyline should have evolved from a perfect benefactor to a deeply affectionate male lead who pretends to be indifferent."

"Then, Lin Yutang should gradually discover your hidden troubles and background during the investigation of Master Kun."

"She'll help you while feeling sorry for you, and in her heart she'll think, 'Jingxiu, you're always like this, bearing everything alone...'"

Lu Jingxiu interrupted her, sighing and rubbing his forehead in exasperation: "Then what exactly did I do wrong?"

Chu Jin said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Your mistake is that in this world, when you communicate with girls, you're still using your original male mindset."

"For you guys, 'eventy is no debt' means that no one owes anyone anything, and that it will be easier to get along in the future."

"But here, 'even things' is a sweet nothing, a high level of entanglement."

Chu Jin's tone suddenly turned slightly sad: "Today he said that we're even, and I wanted to agree with a smile, but when I turned around, my nose felt so sore."

"He's so good, so good that I feel that if I can't stand by his side..."

"Stop!" Lu Jingxiu's face turned green. "Can you please stop talking?"

Chu Jin blinked innocently: "I'm just giving you a preview of the ending, letting you experience in advance how big a tsunami your casual remark will create in the female lead's heart."

She was a little hungry, so she took a bunch of snacks out of her desk drawer and put them on her desk. She then picked up a bag of spicy strips and opened it.

While eating, she sighed: "Lu Jingxiu, do you know, a guy like you, in a female-oriented novel, would be the kind of guy that readers initially thought was just a passerby, then discovered was a hidden male lead, and finally got so angry at being called a male supporting character that they would shout in the comments section every day, 'Female lead, open your eyes and look at him!'"

"If you want to survive to the end, you can't act like a perfect, deeply affectionate and patient man in front of the female lead."

"You have to be the kind of neighbor who picks their toes, swears, and eats barbecue skewers with their mouth all greasy."

Lu Jingxiu hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "But I was stingy."

Chu Jin almost spat out the spicy snack from her nose: "You're deliberately picking at it!"

"When I said 'picking one's toes,' I was just using a metaphor to describe a kind of innate, lazy attitude!"

Lu Jingxiu fell completely silent.

Chu Jin wiped his hands and said earnestly, "So, what you need to do next is treat her like a brother."

"When she hands you the documents, just say, 'Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to dinner later.'"

"Then when it comes to eating, go to a street food stall and split the bill with her. If she confides in you, just help her analyze the situation like a good buddy."

Lu Jingxiu's lips twitched, and he finally managed to stammer out, "Are you sure this won't turn me into a gay best friend?"

Chu Jin smiled knowingly: "Congratulations, being a gay best friend is the safest male identity in female-oriented online novels."

"Just look, don't eat, it's safe, harmless, and considerate, and you can avoid all the plot holes."

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Chu Jin called out, "Come in."

Then a group of people filed in.

They wore uniforms and gloves, and each person carried two stacks of paper bags printed with French logos, with light gold ribbons tied to the bags.

The leader placed the bag on the coffee table, bowed, and spoke with the utmost respect:

"Mr. Chu, Mr. Lu heard that you like croissants, so he specially instructed us to buy all the croissants in the store today. Please enjoy."

Chu Jin: "?"

Immediately afterwards, a second group of people came in. They were just as well-behaved, putting the paper bags they were carrying into the corner.

Then more and more piled up, and soon the office was filled with a rich aroma of butter.

Chu Jin slowly turned her head to look at Lu Jingxiu.

Lu Jingxiu also looked at her with a completely bewildered expression.

Chu Jin instantly understood when she saw the expression on her fellow villager's face.

How could this idiot know she liked this store's croissants? And then order the whole store to deliver them?

She sighed, deciding not to expose him on the spot, and put on a polite smile: "Young Master Lu, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."

"Next time, will you buy out all the croissants in town just for me?"

"How romantic! I'm so touched, I'm about to cry."

Lu Jingxiu's eye twitched.

It wasn't me, and I neither would nor could I possibly buy out an entire store's croissants...

Just then, two more men in suits walked in carrying two boxes of walnuts. The assistant leading the group bowed respectfully to Lu Jingxiu as well.

"Young Master Lu, these are walnuts from our boss, meant to help nourish your brain."

Lu Jingxiu: "..."

He realized what was happening at that moment.

This style, this manner, this sarcasm... he's probably that receptionist's domineering husband.

He said expressionlessly, "Please thank your boss for me."

"Young Master Lu, you're too kind." Assistant Li nodded politely, then turned to Chu Jin, nodded slightly in acknowledgment, before turning around and leaving the office with his entourage, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

Lu Jingxiu and Chu Jin were left staring at each other in silence.

A moment later, Lu Jingxiu got up, untied a bag, picked up a croissant and took a bite.

"It tastes pretty good," he commented after chewing a couple of times, then looked at Chu Jin, "Do you have any drinks?"

Chu Jin took a box of AD calcium milk from the drawer and slammed it on the table: "This is all I have. Take it or leave it."

Lu Jingxiu took a bottle, inserted a straw, and started gulping it down, happily enjoying the breakfast fed by the domineering CEO.

She was already planning in her mind how to follow her fellow villager's advice the next time she saw Lin Yutang.

……

Orders from Southeast Asia have always been a bit of a hassle.

Master Kun said, "Change the person, but not the job."

The first group disappeared without a trace, and no one asked any further questions. The second group was called out that very night and set off overnight, braving the elements to head towards Ba City.

The leader was called Brother Xiong. As his name suggested, he was big and burly, with arms thicker than his underlings' thighs, and a scar across his face.

Just by sitting there, the police from ten blocks around would rush over to check your ID.

He has never liked to use his brain when doing things, and his principle can be summed up in one word: recklessness.

"Brother Xiong, who are we arresting this time?" A crew-cut henchman leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Brother Xiong sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, and said in a calm tone, "The Lu family."

"The Lu family? What does the Lu family do?" the younger brother asked again.

The younger brother then asked, "So how do we find it?"

Brother Xiong paused for a moment, then said, "You'll find out when you get there."

The younger brother stopped talking. If the older brother wasn't worried, why was he in such a hurry? Anyway, if the sky fell, Brother Xiong would hold it up. He was just a small fry; he could just follow along and get by.

After all, in their view, the previous group of people who went missing were at most stupid, unlucky, or simply ran away on their own.

What civilized city, what all that talk about here and there, it's all just a bluff. They've brought enough people and equipment this time, what could possibly go wrong?

Are the police in the city more ruthless than the warlords in Southeast Asia?

joke!
