I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"Seriously, you're kidding me. 5000 yuan is only enough to buy one zipper buckle on this bag."

He Shiying shook the Chanel bag in her hand.

Qin Yunchu said, "So I think, is he bragging?"

"Exactly!" He Shiying nodded, adopting a detective's stance. "That explains it all. Your employee, he impersonated a famous writer online, deceiving naive young girls and even started a harem. Tsk tsk, he's really shameless!"

Qin Yunchu said, "So, I think we should go and meet them?"

"I want to go! I want to go!" He Shiying grabbed her arm. "I'll go with you!"

Qin Yunchu hesitated and said, "Isn't this a bad idea?"

"What's wrong with that? What if something happens when you go to meet someone you met online alone? Besides, can you even drive in those high heels?"

"You brought a car?"

"Yes, I brought a free driver."

He Shiying led Qin Yunchu a few steps to a Land Rover. A very handsome man leaned out of the driver's seat and greeted them.

"Hello there!"

Qin Yun Chu asked in surprise, "Your boyfriend?"

He Shiying proudly extended her hand to introduce, "Gu Yuanzhen, one of my suitors. Whether he can become my boyfriend remains to be seen. For now, he can only be my driver."

After Qin Yun Chu greeted them politely, she suddenly remembered something: "You're from the Gu family of Hedong..."

Gu Yuanzhen said gracefully, "Yes, my father owns a company called Pengcheng Company."

Qin Yun Chu said sincerely, "So you are the young master of the Gu family. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Like Hongtu Company, Pengcheng Company is a Fortune 500 company, and both have achieved top status in their respective fields; they are both behemoths.

It can be said that the Gu family is a prominent family no less so than the Qin family.

With such a distinguished young master driving, Qin Yun Chu felt much more at ease, and the two got into the car together.

On the way, Qin Yunchu told Gu Yuanzhen about their destination and what they were going to do, and Gu Yuanzhen immediately became interested.

"That sounds interesting."

He Shiying gestured with her hands like Superman: "That's right, expose the true colors of the scumbag, save the innocent girl, and carry out justice!"

Qin Yun Chu said, "But I still feel that girl doesn't seem like a brainless girl..."

Gu Yuanzhen said, "Miss Qin, I'm sorry I spoke so bluntly, please don't take offense."

Qin Yunchu indicated that she wouldn't mind, and Gu Yuanzhen, while driving, carefully considered her words and said:

"Girls who are usually fooled are those who think they are very rational."

"They usually come from small towns, have little experience, wear cheap clothes, and try hard to look glamorous, especially afraid of being looked down upon."

"Actually, these are the easiest girls to fool. Rent an outfit, borrow a watch, spend a day at a nightclub, and you can pick up several girls like that."

"To put it bluntly, it's because they are vain, have limited knowledge, and have never met real high society people, so they are easily deceived by fairy-tale-like lies."

Chapter 5 Teacher, I Miss You

After Gu Yuanzhen finished speaking, Qin Yunchu seemed to be deep in thought.

It's not that girls are too naive to be easily deceived.

Sometimes we get fooled because we're too smart.

Having witnessed too many myths of upward social mobility through marriage, coupled with the brainwashing effect of various romance novels and TV dramas, it's hard not to indulge in some unrealistic dreams.

Pretending to be an upper-class person and frequenting upscale places can easily create the illusion for girls that "he belongs here".

Maybe Chen Ya used this method to pick up girls.

Qin Yunchu leaned closer and said to Gu Yuanzhen:

"Then help me analyze this. Logically speaking, if he were to lie like this, those girls would naturally expose his lies if they all got together. So why would he dare to create a group chat?"

Gu Yuanzhen asked, "Is he handsome?"

Qin Yunchu thought for a moment, then replied, "Not handsome."

It's not that he's not handsome, it's just that I don't remember him.

She couldn't remember the person's face. If it were a handsome guy, she would definitely remember him, so she concluded that he wasn't handsome.

Gu Yuanzhen frowned.

If you're handsome enough, it's not impossible for many girls to be chasing after you.

But if he's not handsome, then it's just not right.

"Could it be that our Miss Qin has high standards and therefore doesn't think he's handsome?" He Shiying asked with a smile.

Qin Yunchu said seriously, "It's not that he's not handsome, he's just very ordinary, so ordinary that he's not memorable."

“It shouldn’t be ordinary, even ugly doesn’t matter, at least you should be good-looking enough to leave an impression.” Gu Yuanzhen thought for a while and said, “Then maybe they used PUA techniques.”

"What is PUA?" Qin Yun asked.

"PUA, literally translated as the art of flirting, simply means that men use hints, mental control, passive-aggressive tactics, and other methods to brainwash women and make them obey."

Qin Yun felt a chill run down his spine when he first heard the words "brainwashing" and "mind control".

"You couldn't tell from his appearance at the company; I never expected him to be this kind of person."

Gu Yuanzhen laughed: "I'm just saying there's a possibility. I'm usually very proper at the company, and I never make a move on the girls there. Guess why?"

"Why?" Qin Yunchu asked.

“A rabbit doesn’t eat the grass near its burrow,” Gu Yuanzhen said. “A person has two eyes, and in a company, you’re constantly in each other’s sights. First, you can’t hide anything from others, and second, people around you won’t see your brilliance.”

He Shiying smiled faintly: "Oh, I see."

Gu Yuanzhen realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends: "Of course, I never mess around outside."

He Shiying still smiled enigmatically and said, "It's all done according to the methods and principles of PUA, and it's all done in a planned way, right?"

"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!" Gu Yuanzhen quickly protested.

Qin Yunchu chuckled upon hearing this.

He Shiying suddenly thought of something and said excitedly:

"Hey, what do you guys think? If that girl really is fantasizing about your employee, just like Gu Yuanzhen said, and we ruthlessly shatter her illusions, won't she cry?"

Qin Yun Chu narrowed her eyes: "That's possible, but why do you seem so excited?"

He Shiying got excited: "Of course I'm looking forward to it! To see a girl cry! Isn't that what we're going for?"

Qin Yunchu laughed: "Your personality is just too awful... We went there to expose this scumbag's true colors, have you forgotten?"

"Uh...yes!"

Sitting in his office, Chen Ya sneezed again.

"I've already maxed out my physique to 120 in the system, so why am I still sneezing so much? What's wrong with me today?"

Just as I was wondering if the cracked system was no longer working, my phone screen suddenly lit up.

[Liu Ruyan is calling you]

Chen Ya smiled slightly, stood up, and said to Lao Tang and Wang Qian beside him, "I'll take this call."

Without turning his head, Old Tang continued typing his code: "What kind of phone call do you need to hide from us to answer?"

"A close female friend."

Old Tang curled his lip: "A 'confidante'? You're not even as handsome as me. You're lucky if you know a couple of girls, how could you possibly have a confidante?"

Wang Qian frowned, turned around, looked Lao Tang up and down, and said with a hint of amusement:

"Where do you get the confidence to think you're more handsome than Chen Ya?"

Old Tang argued confidently: "I am fat, but I have unlimited potential. As long as I lose weight, I will definitely be handsome. But Chen Ya is different. Chen Ya is not fat, but he has no potential left to be tapped."

Wang Qian looked at Chen Ya's back as he made a phone call outside the door and said, "No way, Chen Ya has such good facial features. If he just changed his hairstyle and took off his glasses, he would definitely be handsome."

Old Tang exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you paying so much attention to him? You don't happen to like him, do you?"

Wang Qian, enraged, slapped Lao Tang across the face: "Why are you so talkative!"

Old Tang really hit the nail on the head regarding Wang Qian's feelings.

Chen Ya was gentle, capable of everything, and did everything with ease. Wang Qian already had a good impression of him.

Moreover, she felt that Chen Ya was the kind of handsome guy who was invisible to everyone, but he just seemed very ordinary because of his casual dressing.

With his facial features, he would definitely look good if he had a little cosmetic surgery.

Whenever she had the chance, Wang Qian would accompany Chen Ya to work overtime, determined to test him out.

He doesn't seem to have much contact with girls, so he probably doesn't have a girlfriend.

Outside the door, Chen Ya listened quietly to his phone.

"Yes, yes, that's great, congratulations."

After a long while, a delicate young girl's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Teacher, I miss you."

"Mmm," Chen Ya said softly.

I miss you so much.

"Ah."

"What about you?"

“Let’s find a chance to meet,” Chen Ya said. “I’ll send you a message today or tomorrow when I’m done with my business here.”

"Mmm," came a shy voice from the other end of the phone.

……

Qin Yunchu's journey was smooth, and in the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived at the agreed-upon location.

This is outside a coffee shop on Nanwangqiao East Road, next to Qixing Community.

A girl with incredibly fair skin, wearing a black lace dress, was sitting on the terrace, slowly sipping her coffee.

Beside her lay a copy of "Love in the Time of Cholera," a hardcover book with a beautiful cover design.

The hand resting beside the book had slender fingers, delicate joints, and most importantly, was exceptionally white.

Her skin was so white it was almost transparent, possessing a fragile and fleeting beauty, like a drop of clear dew in the desert, ready to vanish into thin air at any moment.

Her skin was already captivating, and if you looked at her face, you would be even more drawn to her youthful appearance.

Her crystal-clear eyes and delicate, upturned nose evoke images of Mozart's minuet—exquisite, serene, and clear, almost synonymous with elegance.

Almost every passerby would steal a glance at the girl.

But one could only peek at her; the girl's beauty was like a night-blooming cereus, awe-inspiring and incomparable, yet making one afraid to approach.

Gu Yuanzhen got out of the car and froze for a full three seconds as soon as she saw the girl.

He had seen many beautiful women, but this girl's beauty still struck his heart instantly.

"Cough cough!"

He Shiying cleared her throat impolitely to make her presence known, and Gu Yuanzhen finally came to her senses.

Qin Yunchu raised her head with a complicated expression and looked at the girl.

"You are... Liu Ruyan?"

Chapter 6 is definitely...

"You are... Liu Ruyan?"

Liu Ruyan slowly tilted her head, as if she was immersed in her own world, when she was suddenly woken up.

The girl looked at Qin Yunchu, then at He Shiying and Gu Yuanzhen behind Qin Yunchu, and frowned slightly.

I thought it was just you.
