Chapter 339 Only Tactics Win People's Hearts

Early in the morning, Chu Yi swaggered into the company, patted Shen Xinze on the shoulder, and said, "Good morning, Young Master Shen! You're still as unlucky as ever. Did you drive your BMW today? Take Qiongqiong and me for a spin, let us see your big villa. I'm so envious of you, you're so cool..."

“… …” Shen Xinze’s lips moved, but he couldn’t speak.

Seeing this, Chu Yi laughed heartily and went into the company, while Zhou Qiong cast a sympathetic glance at Shen Xinze.

Ever since the last time, Chu Yi has been finding various ways to make sarcastic remarks about Shen Xinze, and giving him all sorts of nicknames, such as: Shen Gongbao, Little Kid, Young Master... ..., making it known to everyone in the company, and even the company's boss and Shen Xinze's father have asked about it.

After watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Shen Xinze looked away after a long while, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

I was just showing off my assets, why are you being sarcastic? I didn't know your family was so rich, is it my fault?

Besides, why didn't you accurately report your family assets when you joined the company? You're deceiving the company. Believe me or not, I'll have my dad fire you both.

Shen Xinze felt helpless and sad.

First, Chu Yi's sarcastic remarks about him had touched his very soul; second, he was getting further and further away from his dream of winning Zhou Qiong's heart.

His family was clearly not as wealthy as Zhou Qiong's, and his biggest trump card had lost its effect. If this continued, he would really lose the bet.

"Young Master Shen, it seems you've run into a problem." Just then, a familiar colleague craned his neck and asked.

"Um."

"Is it about that bet?"

Shen Xinze nodded, and then recounted his experiences over the past few days, as well as the family circumstances of Chu Yi and Zhou Qiong. When he heard that the two lived in Zhonghai Mingyuan and that their family assets were no less than a 'small goal', his colleague's eyes were filled with surprise.

"How could that be? Their family is so rich, why would they work for our company?"

"Why not?" Shen Xinze gave him a dismissive look. "Isn't my company good enough?"

"Hehe... ..., that's not it either." The colleague chuckled.

The main reason is that Chu Yi and Zhou Qiong are too low-key. Their clothing and daily expenses are not like those of rich young ladies, thus creating a strong contrast.

“It’s over…” Shen Xinze sighed, looking ahead, and said sadly, “I lost my bet, and my happiness is gone too.”

Do you, a little kid, know what happiness is? ... ... For the sake of the company boss's silly son, the colleague didn't say what he really thought, but his eyes darted around and he asked, "Young Master Shen, do you really want to pursue Zhou Qiong? If so, I can give you a suggestion."

Shen Xinze grabbed the other person's arm, somewhat excited, while the colleague said unhurriedly, "Pursuing someone requires not only sincerity but also strategy. Since ancient times, deep affection has been hard to win people's hearts, but strategy has always been the best way to win them over."

As he spoke, the colleague whispered something in Shen Xinze's ear. After he finished speaking, the latter thought for a moment and hesitated, "Isn't that too shameless?"

"Whatever you say."

“... ..."

Chu Yi prepared a series of work documents and loaded them into the car, while Zhou Qiong also carried various things. Their job was to promote the products on the ground, and they had to go to the gates of various middle schools every day to distribute various materials, regardless of wind or sun.

The salary is pretty good, around seven or eight thousand a month.

It might not be the best in Shanghai, but it's good enough for two girls who have just graduated from high school, and they don't need to spend money on rent or anything like that.

Just as they were about to leave, Shen Xinze got into the car and said, "I'll go with you this time."

"Hey, little leopard, what's wrong with you? Instead of resting at the company, you're doing door-to-door sales with us. Did I hurt you too much and made you lose your mind?" Chu Yi tilted his head. "Or are you really that devoted to my Qiongqiong? If so, I'm going to change my opinion of you. You're a devoted 'simp'."

“... ..."

My name is Shen Xinze, not Shen Gongbao, and I am not a little leopard. Please respect me!

Besides, this company belongs to my family. Why are you asking so many questions about where I go? Who's the owner here? Chu Yi, don't you have any sense of boundaries? ... ...

Zhou Qiong pulled Chu Yi aside and started nagging.

For the sake of the young master, say less.

Immediately, the group got into the car and headed to their destination. Along the way, Shen Xinze wanted to talk to Zhou Qiong, but Chu Yi kept staring at him, so he dared not make any offensive moves.

About twenty minutes later, they arrived at Yulin Middle School. The group got out of the car and started organizing their documents, while Shen Xinze sneaked away and looked around as if searching for someone. However, his eyes were full of disappointment. All around him were parents or elderly people waiting outside for their children to finish the exam. The parents all had kind and gentle faces, and none of them looked like villains.

After looking around, her gaze finally settled on a young man. She then approached him, smiled, and said, "Hello."

"Um..." Chu Fang scratched his head, hesitating for a moment. He was often approached by girls, but this was the first time he had been approached by a boy. He felt a mix of emotions, including fear and apprehension, but he quickly recovered and replied, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Shen Xinze said, "Um... could you do me a favor? Of course, I definitely won't let you do it for nothing; I'll pay you."

The colleague suggested to Shen Xinze that it's better to help someone in need than to add flowers to brocade. He suggested that Shen Xinze find a fierce man outside the school to criticize Zhou Qiong's work, putting Zhou Qiong in a difficult situation. Shen Xinze would then step forward to help Zhou Qiong out of the predicament, thus establishing a 'great, glorious, and righteous' image in Zhou Qiong's mind.

Once a positive image is established, things become much easier.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?" Shen Xinze said, suddenly sensing the meaning in Chu Fang's eyes. With a faint smile on his face, he explained, "I'm the son of the CEO of that company. We're training our employees."

"real?"

"... ...,real."

"Chu Lao Er, do you know Crayon Shin-chan?" Just then, Chu Yi's voice came, and he walked closer.

"Is he Crayon Shin-chan?" Chu Fang pointed to Shen Xinze in front of him.

"Yes." Chu Yi nodded seriously.

Zhou Qiong smiled and said, "Brother."

"Brother?!" Shen Xinze's voice rose eight octaves, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present, who all cast strange glances at him. "Zhou Qiong, aren't you surnamed Zhou?"

"He's like a brother to me, even though we're not blood brothers. Don't you know what kidney deficiency is?" Chu Yi patted Shen Xinze on the shoulder and asked Chu Fang, "By the way, what were you two talking about?"

In that instant, Chu Fang sensed Shen Xinze's gaze upon him. That gaze was incredibly complex, containing a multitude of emotions: pleading, fear, worry, embarrassment...

Shen Xinze was extremely embarrassed at this moment, never expecting that his 'scheme' had chosen the wrong target.

He tried to take advantage of a girl, and ended up in her brother's hands. What kind of mess is this?

Why am I so unlucky!

A soft voice was heard: "Hmm... This Crayon Shin-chan asked me to make things difficult for Qiongqiong at work, and then he stepped in to help."

It’s over!

It's all over!

Shen Xinze's tightly clenched big toe suddenly loosened, and he felt dizzy and disoriented, about to fall to the ground, but fortunately Chu Fang caught him.
