The Secret to Picking Up Girls

“That's right! The boss has one already; we can't let him hog all the good stuff. That wouldn't be fair to us,” Qiu Zhenhua chimed in with a grin.

Their words left Cai Yanru speechless; she could only remain silent.

“I must say, you two have some pretty dirty minds! Just because we introduce someone to the boss doesn't mean they have to develop a romantic relationship, does it? Can't they just be ordinary friends?” Lin Kunhong shook his head, feeling quite helpless.

“Tch.”

Wang Kaijun turned his head and asked Qiu Zhenhua with a sly smile, “Old Fourth, do you think there's such a thing as a purely platonic relationship between a man and a woman these days?”

Qiu Zhenhua chuckled. “I don't know, but I certainly haven't seen one.”

Suddenly, Cai Yanru asked Lin Kunhong curiously, “Who is this 'Sister-in-law Liu' you guys are talking about? Is she Yuze's girlfriend?”

Lin Kunhong nodded and smiled, “You didn't know? Our boss Yuze managed to snag the most beautiful girl in the Fine Arts Department of the Art Academy as soon as he came to school. Isn't that impressive?”

“Are you talking about Liu Mengting?” Cai Yanru asked Zhang Yuze in surprise, turning to Lin Kunhong.

Zhang Yuze shook his head, looking at Lin Kunhong with a wry smile. “Don't exaggerate so much, will you? I've told you guys so many times, she came with me. I didn't pick her up here.”

Everyone: “……”

Since they were going to eat, Zhang Yuze gave Liu Mengting a call.

“Hello! Is that Yuze?” As soon as the call connected, the few 'wolves' beside him pricked up their ears with interest and moved closer to Zhang Yuze's phone.

Even though it was just over the phone, a smile appeared on Zhang Yuze's face as he said, “Mengting! Have you eaten yet? Let's eat together!”

Liu Mengting's voice seemed to hesitate for a moment before she said to Zhang Yuze, “Yuze, I just ate, you go ahead.”

Although somewhat disappointed, Zhang Yuze still smiled and said, “Alright then! Go ahead and do what you need to do! Don't overwork yourself.”

Just as he was about to hang up, Zhang Yuze suddenly heard a male voice from the other end of the line saying, “Are you done yet?” It seemed to be directed at Liu Mengting.

Zhang Yuze frowned. The voice was familiar; Zhang Yuze recognized it as Liu Mengting's classmate, Gu Tao. Although Zhang Yuze believed that Liu Mengting only had a classmate relationship with Gu Tao, the other party clearly didn't think so simply. Zhang Yuze could strongly sense Gu Tao's intense desire for Liu Mengting.

“Sigh!” Zhang Yuze's mood was terrible. It seemed that the more outstanding a girl was, the stronger the competition would be, even if she was already with him. Why was it that the female protagonists in the novels he read never seemed to have any competitors, while all the girls he had were surrounded by many rivals? Was his character really that bad?

“Boss, what's wrong?” Sensing that Zhang Yuze was in a bad mood, Wang Kaijun, Lin Kunhong, and the others looked at him with concern.

Cai Yanru looked at him thoughtfully, as if pondering something.
