Chapter 313: Chapter 229: Lin Chu, Do You Want to Be Famous?

The best future for a daughter should be finding an honest man, someone in a stable government job or an academic, and preferably one who’s henpecked.

However, at her age, Zhou Luan was obviously not at that stage of her life yet.

For a moment, Zhou Ming was torn.

Part of him wanted to let his daughter gain some experience, but he was also worried she would get hurt. If the blow was too severe, it could cause major problems. He also had to consider just how much he should interfere... All of this required careful thought.

"Why don’t you just come home for tonight?"

Zhou Ming texted tentatively.

"No! I’m already here, how could I go home now! That would be so embarrassing! It would look like I was fleeing in defeat. I have to face this problem head-on!"

"Dad, can you be a little more helpful?"

Zhou Luan’s fingers flew across the keyboard as she typed.

Zhou Ming: ...

"How about I send someone to break both his legs, then have him watched for you every day? (smiley face)"

He joked.

Zhou Luan couldn’t help but laugh out loud when she saw the message. "Okay! Send them! I have no objection! But seriously, give me some real advice!"

Zhou Ming continued to probe for more information. "Do you really like him? On a scale of one to ten?"

"Huh? Since when do you rate feelings? I just think he’s alright and want to give it a try. He’s triggered my desire for conquest! That damn man! I’m going to make him hang on my every word! Besides, it seems like dating him would be a lot of fun."

"But the situation is complicated now. My bestie, An’an, is also trying to hit on Lin Chu. It’s pushed me right to the bottom of the food chain. Dad, it’s so humiliating!"

"It’s not like I absolutely have to date him. Even just being the woman he loves but can’t have would be pretty good."

Zhou Ming: ...

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

’A young girl’s thoughts really are quite subtle.’

"Then why don’t you just ignore him?"

"No matter what he says to you, just stay away from him."

Zhou Luan: "AHHHH! Dad, you’re so dense! Don’t you understand how a girl’s mind works?! If I ignore him, then I’ll have no chance at all! Is it me ignoring him, or him ignoring me? Besides, aren’t you going to borrow money from him anymore?"

Zhou Ming: !!!

He felt the urge to curse.

He took another deep breath, his mind rapidly analyzing the situation.

"Right now, he’s sparked your desire for conquest, but you haven’t sparked his. Or rather, his desire for conquest isn’t strong enough."

"Normally, a woman sparks a man’s desire for conquest through her looks, personality, status, and by being reserved, playing hard to get, and creating competition with other men."

"How about this: find someone else to like you, to chase you relentlessly. Then, you can show a moderate amount of interest in Lin Chu. That way, he’ll feel a sense of crisis too."

"Honey, what do you think of this plan?"

Zhou Luan: "Dad, you really do understand men. Okay, we’ll go with that for now. I’ve gotta go."

...

When Zhou Luan walked back to their table,

her steps had already regained their full confidence.

"Xiaokangkang, what’s-his-name... Zhuang Yingcheng, what’s he up to right now? Send him a message. Say I’m inviting him to go clubbing, and that we can talk about Lin Chu."

She directly ordered Kang Hao around, trying to summon the former "bootlicker" she had already blocked.

Kang Hao glanced at her and smiled. "Sure. You invite An’an, and I’ll invite Zhuang Yingcheng. A fair trade."

"You’re so annoying!"

"Forget it then!"

Zhou Luan shot him a glare. In any case, there was no way she was going to invite An Yunzhi over tonight. Otherwise, she’d be right back at the bottom of the food chain. Both men here were interested in her friend.

She couldn’t invite her, even for her bestie’s sake.

Zhou Luan even felt like cursing.

’Are you all blind?!’

’How am I any worse than An’an?!’

’So angry!’

"Fine, forget it. Heh, a couple of heartless men. I’m going to find someone else to drink with. Bye."

When that plan failed, she moved on to the next. Her eyes swept across the main floor, and spotting a few handsome guys with decent fashion sense, she immediately stood up, gathered the hem of her dress, and walked over to them.

’Lin Chu: ?’

’What’s gotten into her?’

Kang Hao was also stunned.

’What kind of move is this?’

The two of them looked at each other, both a little speechless.

"Nice!"

"Beautifully done!"

"Finally, another one’s gone crazy!"

"Now this is what I’m talking about! Let’s get this party started! This is the vibe you need for clubbing!"

Lin Chu said with a grin.

He paused, then waved a waiter over. "Waiter, send a Divine Dragon Set to every table tonight. Tell them the guests at table number two—two handsome guys—are looking for some young ladies to come hang out."

The waiter was stunned to hear this.

Kang Hao was stunned too.

’Dude, are you kidding me?!’

’What kind of crazy splurging is this?’

’Even if you’re buying a round for the whole club, you don’t just send out Divine Dragon Sets, do you?’

"Don’t, my friend has had too much to drink. He’s just messing around. You can go back to what you were doing."

Kang Hao hurriedly tried to stop him.

’This wasn’t an issue of money.’

’Lin Chu could definitely afford it.’

’It’s just... unnecessary.’

’It’s too high-profile, too ostentatious.’

’You don’t just throw your money around like that, even if you’re rich.’

Lin Chu glanced at him, pushed his hand away, casually pulled out a card, and urged, "Hurry up and swipe it!"

Kang Hao: ...

For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

’Wild.’

’Truly wild.’

Seeing Lin Chu’s insistence, the waiter naturally had no reason to refuse. Beaming, with hands trembling slightly, he swiped the card. "Sir, one Divine Dragon Set is 88,000. Hmm... why don’t you make a deposit first? We can settle the difference later."

"Sure, deposit 10 million then."

Lin Chu said casually.

’Flying free!’

’My heart runs wild!’

’I get a rebate on it all anyway.’

Most of the people who come to bars to drink are mixed groups of men and women. There’s even a rebate for an Arhat Array, but purely female groups are too rare, almost nonexistent.
