Liang Zhirou became a little interested, sat up straight, and asked curiously, "So how many points do I have?"

Chen Lu met her gaze calmly. "Zero points."

"Huh?" Liang Zhirou opened her mouth slightly, her clear eyes wide open, as if struck by lightning.

"Why?" she asked again, the zero score was a huge blow to this well-behaved girl.

"Because this is a point system, if you do well I will give you points, the maximum is ten points, and six points is passing. When you pass, I will definitely give you a reward that you will never forget for the rest of your life. I swear."

As he spoke, he excitedly opened his phone's notes app and quickly tapped the keyboard.

"You can also choose to use points to participate in the lottery, one point for each draw, with various rewards. You can also choose to have one free single draw per week, but that might result in a penalty. Isn't that interesting?"

He's gotten a bit of a professional hazard.

"What's the reward?" Liang Zhirou asked blankly.

"I haven't thought of anything yet. For example, I'll take you to all sorts of places to play or buy you a new graphics tablet. The grand prize is to grant you any wish and give you a card to stop me from being a scoundrel."

"What about the punishment?" The girl thought to herself that Chen Lu was truly a game developer; she actually found it somewhat amusing. And this plan to stop Chen Lu from using his "hooligan card" sounded really useful; she felt constantly threatened.

If only Lin Miaomiao had given her such a fun quantitative standard back then... Her "Quantitative Standard for a Good Boyfriend" was nowhere near as fun.

Chen Lu gave a harmless smile, "For example, wearing black stockings for me to see."

"I'm going to deduct one point from your 'Good Boyfriend Quantification Standard'!" Liang Zhirou said angrily. This guy never thinks about anything good.

Chen Lu disassembled the disposable chopsticks in front of Liang Zhirou and proactively placed them on the girl's bowl. "Who was so touched just now? And now you're going to deduct points from my score?"

Liang Zhirou pouted, looking aggrieved, and said, "Then I won't deduct it..."

Chen Lu chuckled inwardly. His version was the product of absorbing the essence of "The Quantitative Standards for a Good Boyfriend" and discarding its dross.

It's definitely much more effective than Liang Zhirou's method.

If he followed this fool's advice exactly, he would definitely give this fool an exceptionally high initial score, which would have no effect whatsoever.

It would be better to change it to a point system, where points are added but not subtracted.

He was as clever as he was.

Just as Liang Zhirou was about to say something more, her phone suddenly vibrated.

The message was sent by Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao: What are you doing?

Liang Zhirou: We're eating, we're eating grilled fish.

Seeing the several voice messages that the other party suddenly sent, Liang Zhirou was stunned for a moment, then reached out her finger and clicked play.

Lin Miaomiao: I'm working overtime! Do you know how crazy your boyfriend is? The company's been really busy lately, and he actually came up with a promotion where whoever's the last one to leave gets four times their salary plus a shopping voucher! Now most of the art team is still here, stuck in this mess!

Lin Miaomiao: I originally thought I'd just give it a try, so I worked overtime for more than an hour, but there were still so many people who hadn't left! I had just finished packing my things when I suddenly realized that I had already stayed for more than an hour, and it would be a huge loss to give up like this.

The more sunk costs I incur, the more reluctant I become to leave, and that's how I've held on until now...

Lin Miaomiao: The worst part is, he explicitly stated that he wouldn't pay overtime in this situation! He's a slacker, he's a slacker!!

Her roar echoed around them, and the atmosphere at the table suddenly froze for a few seconds.

Liang Zhirou: I'm having dinner with Chen Lu.

Lin Miaomiao: Sorry to bother you.

After putting down her phone, Liang Zhirou felt inexplicably embarrassed. She secretly glanced at Chen Lu, curious about his reaction.

Chen Lu was resting his chin on his hand, looking at her expressionlessly. When he noticed her looking up, he even raised an eyebrow at her.

“Tell her, I heard everything,” Chen Lu said with a smile.

The naive Liang Zhirou took it seriously and picked up her phone to send a message.

"Miaomiao said she will definitely live up to your expectations and asked you not to deduct her salary..." After a while, Liang Zhirou said softly.

Chen Lu picked up a piece of grilled fish and put it in his mouth. "Do you know why Lin Miaomiao's salary is the highest in the company?"

Liang Zhirou shook her head blankly.

"Because the extra ones were for me to play with."

......

Chen Lu always felt that all the restaurants around him were now chains, especially milk tea and hot pot restaurants.

And this grilled fish restaurant.

However, there is a significant advantage to eating at chain restaurants: while they may not be the most delicious, they are unlikely to be particularly bad either, reducing the chances of having a bad experience.

Take this restaurant for example, it's great in every way except that it's too spicy.

Chen Lu, feeling the spiciness, picked up an iced cola and took a swig.

"Actually, sometimes I think your lecherousness is a good thing."

Liang Zhirou suddenly said with a somewhat forlorn expression.

"What do you mean?" Chen Lu was very puzzled, and for a moment he forgot to put down the cola.

"Because you're just too amazing. So amazing that you're not someone I could possibly meet or someone who would want to be with. You make me feel a little more real..." Liang Zhirou didn't know how to express herself properly, and spoke haltingly.

Chen Lu didn't say anything, but simply picked up his phone, turned on selfie mode, and held it up in front of Liang Zhirou.

"Do you know how much prettier you are than other girls?" he asked softly.

Liang Zhirou pursed her lips, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

At this moment, Chen Lu spoke again:
