Super Tycoon: I Beg You, Stop Pulling Stunts

Chapter 273: Chapter 210: Who Is the Clown?

If he had to rate the women sitting here, Lin Chu’s personal ranking would naturally put An Yunzhi first with a 95. Zhou Luan and Zhang Zishu would get a 90, and Li Ke’er an 85.

As for Liang Jieyu, she wasn’t part of the competition. His own woman had to get a perfect score, no question.

Tsk.

’I’m such a perv.’

Lin Chu thought with a hint of wicked amusement.

At the same time, his mind flashed to Li Yunlong and his legendary Italian cannon. ’Gotta find a way to conquer the whole damn lot of them...’

In this setting, however, Lin Chu didn’t show any particular preference for anyone, just keeping the conversation casual.

After all, he had to maintain his persona.

Never mind that he bickered with Zhou Luan and seemed quite rude; it was precisely this behavior that made the other women see him in a better light.

That’s just female psychology for you.

The fact that he could so brazenly tease a ’goddess-tier’ woman like Zhou Luan, even putting her down a little, all while remaining relaxed and in control—that was the air of an alpha.

They were chatting about golf stars and potential celebrity endorsers when, at some point, the conversation took a turn.

Zhou Luan started asking Li Fangfei for gossip about a certain famous young heartthrob.

Given the company, Li Fangfei didn’t hold back. She completely demolished the ’ascetic male god’ image of this young star, exposing everything down to his underwear, so to speak. She dug up at least five ex-girlfriends, leaving the others listening in stunned silence.

Coming from an industry insider and a veteran who’d been famous for ages, this kind of solid evidence was naturally very persuasive.

”Huh? I can’t believe he’s that kind of person. See? There really are no good men out there!”

One of the idols on her pedestal had just been shattered, and Zhou Luan couldn’t help but complain.

”Ahem...”

Lin Chu let out a timely cough. ℴ

The women’s gazes all turned to him. Zhou Luan stuck her tongue out, looking a little sheepish.

Lin Chu said with a wry smile, ”That’s the truest thing you’ve said all day.”

Tch...

Zhou Luan rolled her eyes at him but couldn’t help but laugh.

”You know how to tell the difference between a scumbag and a good man?”

Lin Chu suddenly asked with a grin.

Hmm?

Before Lin Chu could even deliver his punchline, Zhou Luan retorted wearily, ”Easy. Check if he’s breathing. If he is, he’s a scumbag. If he’s not, well, I guess he’s halfway there.”

Her cynical remark made not only the women but even Lin Chu burst out laughing.

In the past, in a situation like this—chatting with a group, especially if there was a girl he found attractive—Lin Chu would have instinctively maintained a ’perfect gentleman’ persona. It was a quality that had been drilled into him by his upbringing.

But now...

Pah.

’Times have changed. Don’t listen to what women say; in reality, they care more about the pleasure of the moment than anyone.’

’Once they’ve had their fun, then they start demanding good character—and money, of course. After all, most fun is expensive.’

”You know, Sister Li, I think your vibe is a perfect match for my golf club. Ever thought about getting a membership card?”

Just as the atmosphere reached its peak, Lin Chu suddenly turned to Li Fangfei. He spoke with a beaming smile that revealed a businessman’s shrewdness.

’Hey, making money is nothing to be ashamed of.’

His words made Li Fangfei pause. She never, ever expected to come for a cup of tea only to get ambushed by a golf club salesman.

But they were all respectable people, and now that Lin Chu had put it out there, she felt it would be awkward to refuse.

In truth, she was already somewhat tempted. It wasn’t because of the club’s environment or a love for the game, but because her whole reason for joining the MBA program was to network. And right now, Lin Chu was the ’big boss’ of this circle. Why look any further when the opportunity was right in front of her?

”Alright, no problem. You... no wonder your business is so successful at such a young age. You really know how to seize an opportunity.”

Li Fangfei said with a smile that carried a hint of mock complaint.

’Might as well,’ she thought. ’It’s not an exorbitant amount of money. Besides, a golf club is an excellent networking platform in its own right.’

’I’ll just consider it an early investment.’

”Thank you, thank you! I appreciate the generous support, Sister Li. Xiaoliang, please take Sister Li to the front desk to handle the paperwork. Also, arrange for lunch and have the restaurant prepare a bottle of Romanée-Conti.”

Lin Chu said smoothly, immediately locking down the sale.

Liang Jieyu rose with a smile and led Li Fangfei out. She had to suppress a laugh. ’President Lin is really something else,’ she thought. ’He’ll exploit any opening, fleece anyone he can get his hands on. He’s so bold, not even afraid of offending people.’

But...

She recalled something Lin Chu had said in the office before: ’If a boss isn’t even willing to spend 2.8 million on you, what kind of goddamn friend is that!’

Casting a casual glance at Lin Chu, Zhou Luan pursed her lips.

’He closed a deal just like that?’

Huh?

’Of course it had to be you. You’ve got some nerve.’

She wanted to praise Lin Chu, but with Li Ke’er also there, it didn’t feel appropriate to say it out loud, lest it make the others uncomfortable.

”So, aren’t you guys going to show some support?”

”Did you all come empty-handed?”

Lin Chu then said in a teasing tone.

Zhou Luan: ???

An Yunzhi and Zhang Zishu looked a little awkward as well. They really hadn’t expected Lin Chu to pressure them for a sale like this. They had come as Zhou Luan’s friends, just for a friendly visit, and now they were getting roped into a sales pitch?

”Hey, hey, what do you think you’re doing? That’s going too far! Is this some kind of tourist trap? We’re still students, you know. We’re not like Sister Li, a huge star who’s already financially independent.”

Zhou Luan immediately jumped in to stop him, though her tone wasn’t overly harsh. She could understand where he was coming from.

She even found it a little funny.

”Hey now, what’s all this about a tourist trap? Aren’t you practically on the welcoming committee? It’s the classic saying: if you have the means, you can offer your patronage. If not, your presence is support enough. Here, add my WeChat. You can help me with some publicity later.”

Lin Chu pulled out his phone, displayed his personal QR code, and gestured for the three of them to scan it.
