The system notification sound startled He Qinzhou for a moment.
He refused Mu Yuxin's invitation to dinner, which triggered her negative emotions and increased his corruption value.
Mu Yuxin, Mu Yuxin, do you know that you're starting to turn bad? You've already fallen for me, the villain.
Thinking that he would soon be able to reach Mu Yuxin, He Qinzhou was so excited that his mouth almost split open with a smile.
However, to avoid being exposed, he forced himself to suppress his excitement.
"Well... alright then, work is more important, you go ahead and get busy, I'll go have dinner with Xuewei now."
Mu Yuxin suppressed her disappointment, forced a smile, glanced at He Qinzhou, and then left the president's office with Luo Xuewei.
Luo Xuewei watched the two of them silently. Although she had never been in a relationship, as a woman herself, she could immediately see Mu Yuxin's disappointment and frustration.
She couldn't help but be even happier!
He Qinzhou, you're such an idiot! You actually refused Mu Yuxin's invitation. Now she's upset. As long as I add fuel to the fire and make her hate you, I'm sure she'll help me deal with you!
As if thinking that her revenge plan had succeeded, Luo Xuewei's mood improved a lot. She followed Mu Yuxin and continued to chat with her enthusiastically.
However, Mu Yuxin didn't seem to pay much attention to Luo Xuewei's enthusiasm at the moment. She only occasionally responded to Luo Xuewei's words, and most of the time her attention seemed to be elsewhere.
……
The appointed time arrived quickly.
A secretary outside the office knocked on the door, then opened it and said to He Qinzhou, "Mr. He, Miss Lin Wan'er has arrived."
"Yes, bring her in." He Qinzhou said calmly.
"Yes." The secretary led Lin Wan'er in, then left the office and closed the door behind her.
Looking at the extremely beautiful woman in front of him, who looked exactly like a female lead, He Qinzhou was certain that she was Lin Wan'er, the female lead from another novel.
[Lin Wan'er meets her host for the first time; the Corruption Aura activates successfully.]
Lin Wan'er contributed 10 Corruption Points, Corruption Value +10, Current Corruption Level: Level 1, 0/20
[Congratulations, host, you have gained 20 Corruption Points]
At the same time, He Qinzhou also heard a phrase from the system that he had never heard before.
[Due to the host triggering the plot, a new script has been obtained: "The Dragon King Returns to Dominate the City"]
Oh?
Did the encounter with the new female lead trigger the plot of another novel?
He Qinzhou squinted, looking Lin Wan'er up and down while skimming through her storyline.
The Lin family's Lin Group is on the verge of bankruptcy due to cash flow problems and needs at least 500 million yuan to help it turn around. Therefore, Lin Wan'er plans to ask Minghao Group for help.
With the He family as its backer, Minghao Group could easily afford 500 million, but the original owner had her sights set on Lin Wan'er and the Lin Group.
First of all, Lin Wan'er is an exceptionally beautiful and rare woman. Marrying her would not be a loss for me. Moreover, if I marry her, half of the shares of the Lin Group will fall into Lin Wan'er's hands. With just a little effort, I can completely control and annex the Lin Group!
The original owner of this body had this intention: to kindly send 500 million yuan, hoping to do a good deed like Lei Feng and then pursue Lin Wan'er along the way.
As a result, Lin Wan'er was completely unmoved by his words and not only rejected him but also ruthlessly humiliated him.
According to the original plot, when He Qinzhou saw that his plan was not going to work, he tried to force himself on her, but just as things were about to become a fait accompli, he ended up...
Lin Wan'er's sweetheart and the male lead, Qin Tian, had just returned from abroad. Upon learning of this, he immediately began to investigate and eventually arrived in time.
The original owner of He Qinzhou may have been an elite in the business world, but he was definitely not good at fighting, so he was no match for Qin Tian, who had been fighting and killing abroad for many years.
As a result, he developed cerebral palsy after being kicked a few times and eventually died. Qin Tian also offended the He family, thus creating an enmity between the two sides.
However, Qin Tian is the male protagonist, the chosen one. While being constantly hunted down by the He family, he also secretly developed his strength and eventually succeeded in defeating the He family.
He Qinzhou couldn't help but feel ashamed about this.
So this is how you're going to play? It's one thing for Tang Shuai to bring himself down, but now even this new male lead, Qin Tian, wants to do the same thing!
System, you really don't treat me like a human being!
After a brief, sarcastic remark, He Qinzhou ultimately focused all his attention on the beauty before him.
Lin Wan'er, since you are so ungrateful to the original owner, then I will avenge him now!
Since you're here, you'd better be prepared to give it away for free.
He Qinzhou's lips curled up, revealing a wicked smile.
Chapter 25: If you have a few drinks with me, I'll agree.
Lin Wan'er wore a white floral blouse, the sleeves of which covered her snow-white arms, but revealed her rounded and pointed shoulders. A jade necklace was worn around her neck, nestled between her two plump breasts.
She wore a pink pleated skirt that was well-tailored and accentuated her slender waist, paired with white stockings and sneakers, showcasing a pure and innocent look.
No wonder she's Qin Tian's childhood sweetheart; her looks are definitely on par with Li Qingqing, the female lead in another novel!
"I wonder what crucial matter Miss Lin wishes to discuss with me?"
Although He Qinzhou already knew Lin Wan'er's purpose for coming here from the script, he still had to pretend that he knew nothing.
Lin Wan'er bit her thin, pink lips, unsure how to speak.
He Qinzhou raised an eyebrow and said impatiently, "If this is something Miss Lin finds difficult to talk about, then let's just forget about it. I'm afraid I can't help you."
Upon hearing He Qinzhou's words, Lin Wan'er visibly panicked. She took a deep breath and pleaded, "President He, our Lin Group urgently needs 5 million yuan for working capital. Could you... help us?"
"We will definitely pay you back as soon as we get through this difficult time!"
Fearing that He Qinzhou might disagree, Lin Wan'er immediately assured him.
He Qinzhou pondered for a moment, then raised his deep, mysterious eyes to look at Lin Wan'er. "As far as I know, Miss Lin doesn't seem to hold any position in the Lin Group. How could you know so much about the Lin Group?"
"Furthermore, how can Miss Lin guarantee that if I lend you 5 million, the Lin family will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties?"
A barrage of questions left Lin Wan'er speechless, but considering the situation of the Lin family and the company, she forced herself to continue speaking.
"As long as Mr. He can provide financial assistance, we will do our best to repay the money he lent us, and the Lin family will always be Mr. He's friend, so please."
Lin Wan'er looked at He Qinzhou with pleading eyes, trying to move him with her aggrieved appearance.
Lin Wan'er was well aware of just how lethal her looks were to men.
With her beautiful appearance, she could attract attention from others by appearing pitiful and endearing no matter what happened to her from childhood to adulthood.
She can even use her appearance to get her suitors to do anything she wants.
This was a sure-kill move for her, so she planned to use it again to deal with He Qinzhou today.
However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is harsh.
He Qinzhou paid no attention to her pitiful appearance.
After all, having the script of the novel, he knew very well that if he actually followed the arrangement in the novel, he would probably be the one who died in a few days.
Now that I know what will happen next, how could I allow such a thing to happen again?
He Qinzhou thought to himself, then a playful smile appeared on his face. "I think that with the strength of my He family, friends like the Lin family are actually dispensable."
Hearing He Qinzhou's arrogant words, Lin Wan'er, the Lin family's daughter who already had a lot of princess syndrome, was naturally very angry.
However, before she could explode on the spot, He Qinzhou continued, "However, as the saying goes, it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy, so it's not impossible for me to provide funding, but I have some conditions."
Lin Wan'er was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him strangely, staring at him cautiously, "What are your requirements? Tell me."
He Qinzhou gave a meaningful smile and replied flippantly, "I haven't had lunch yet. Would Miss Lin do me the honor of having lunch with me? We can discuss some cooperation matters between the Lin Group and Minghao while we're at it."
Lin Wan'er instinctively wanted to refuse, but if the person in front of her was Qin Tian, whom she had long admired, she would definitely agree without hesitation.
However, he immediately thought of the Lin family and the Lin Group, and ultimately had no choice but to agree.
Seeing that Lin Wan'er had agreed, He Qinzhou took the lead and walked out of the office, taking the elevator to his Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Lin Wan'er could only follow closely behind and get into He Qinzhou's private car together.
Soon, the car arrived at a five-star hotel in the city center.
This five-star hotel is not unfamiliar to He Qinzhou.
Because this hotel is the same place where he tricked Mu Yuxin a few days ago.
After getting out of the car, He Qinzhou led Lin Wan'er, guided by the customer service staff, to the same room where he had previously tricked Mu Yuxin.
After casually ordering some dishes and a bottle of red wine, He Qinzhou sat down without a care in the world.
Seeing this, Lin Wan'er quickly sat down in the seat opposite He Qinzhou.
"Mr. He, can we now discuss the matter of the 5 million yuan?"
Lin Wan'er looked at He Qinzhou, her beautiful eyes filled with hope and a hint of cunning as her scheme was about to succeed.
Hehe, I knew it! How could any man resist my charm?
These men are all the same, far inferior to my brother Qin Tian. If I didn't need your help to have dinner with you, I wouldn't even give you a second glance!
Is the president of Minghao Group really that great?
My brother Qin Tian is the most powerful. Given enough time, his Tianheng Company will definitely surpass Minghao Group and become the leading company in Yangcheng!
The naive Lin Wan'er, with her background, had no right to know about the He family in Kyoto. She also thought that He Qinzhou was just a group president in a second-tier city.
If she were to learn the true background and strength of the person in front of her, she would be shocked and regret her arrogance!
"I don't really like discussing business on an empty stomach or while eating, so Miss Lin, do you understand what I mean?"
He Qinzhou gently swirled the wine glass in his hand, then glanced up at her.
Hearing these words, Lin Wan'er was furious, but she could only helplessly shut up.
Soon, the waiter brought out all the dishes. Throughout the entire meal, He Qinzhou didn't say a word to Lin Wan'er.
This made Lin Wan'er somewhat unsure of He Qinzhou's intentions.
Even though you don't talk about business during meals, why don't you talk to me about anything else? It makes me feel superfluous!
He Qinzhou glanced at her indifferently, taking in her expression, and sneered inwardly.
But he still pretended to be puzzled and looked up to ask, "Miss Lin, why don't you eat with me? Although I invited you to have dinner with me, how can I really let you watch me eat?"
Lin Wan'er, who had intended to remain reserved, couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she saw the delicious food, which looked and smelled wonderful. In the end, she couldn't resist and started to eat heartily.
After a whirlwind of activity from the two of them, the delicious dishes on the table were quickly devoured.
At this moment, Lin Wan'er touched her slightly protruding belly, which was clearly showing signs of being overfed, and looked at He Qinzhou again, asking, "Young Master He, can we talk about the funding now?"
"Sure, but I still have a bottle of wine left. If you have a few drinks with me, I'll agree to your request."
He Qinzhou raised an eyebrow, revealing a mocking smile as he looked at Lin Wan'er.
Finally, he drank the glass of red wine in his hand in one gulp.
Chapter 26: Stay with Me (Revised, refresh the page to view!!!)
Lin Wan'er is a pampered young lady who can't hold her liquor; she has never drunk alcohol since she was a child!
Even when it comes to banquets held by the major families in Yangcheng, Lin Wan'er tries her best to avoid attending. This is not only because she dislikes such lively places, but also because she is not good at drinking and can only choose not to come as an escape.
If she really couldn't refuse, she was the kind of person who would choose to drink juice at the event.
Therefore, when she heard He Qinzhou ask her to drink with him, she was extremely unwilling.
She felt that He Qinzhou was just playing with her, so she wanted to stand up and confront him angrily.
Before he could finish speaking, He Qinzhou maintained his mocking expression and said, "If you don't want to, you can leave now."
Hearing such arrogant words, Lin Wan'er didn't tolerate it and strode towards the door with her long legs.
He Qinzhou did not stop her from leaving, and continued to sip his red wine calmly, as if nothing mattered to him.
Just as Lin Wan'er was about to open the door and walk out, her phone rang.
Lin Wan'er answered the phone, and a deep male voice came from the other end.
"Honey, how's it going? Did you manage to borrow the 5 million?"
Lin Wan'er's father, Lin Yang, turned pale at his words and nearly dropped his phone.
Coming to her senses, Lin Wan'er gave Lin Yang a perfunctory reply before hanging up the phone, turning back to look at He Qinzhou with a resentful gaze.
The other person had their legs crossed, left hand resting on the back of the chair, swirling their wine glass with a playful expression. "What's wrong? Not leaving?"
Lin Wan'er pretended to be nonchalant and walked back to her previous seat, where the chair still retained a faint warmth and the scent of a woman's body.
