Chapter 7 1. You must know how to respect yourself to receive love.
[Qin Peng: Yuechen, private room 1902, 8 PM.]
When Ziyu received the message from Qin Peng, she was preparing for the final exams with her roommate.
The red-haired youth who had previously cared about him the most was named Haiyue, his best friend from university. He was a good person, but had a short temper and would always keep his promises.
The end-of-term review had been arranged a long time ago, but Haiyue still told him to take care of things first after seeing the message on his phone.
"What good thing could he possibly want from me? He's probably just here to make things difficult for me. Doesn't he need to prepare for his exams?"
"I heard Qin Peng is going abroad to study next year, and he won't fail any courses in China." Hai Yue shrugged helplessly. "If you insist on dating that guy Qin Yuzhen, you'll be entangled with a bunch of crazy people, and they can't persuade you otherwise."
Ziyu let out a wail. Sometimes he really wanted to curse why the game was made so realistic.
Giving him a pathetic, submissive identity is bad enough, but why does he have to prepare for final exams in the game?
"You'd better hurry up and go, or Qin Peng will get so angry that he'll send people to cause you trouble."
Haiyue came from an ordinary family. When he learned that Ziyu was pursuing Qinyu Town, he tried to persuade him, but when he couldn't persuade him, he could only treat him as a good brother and help him as much as he could.
Although he also disapproved of Qin Peng's spoiled and arrogant behavior, he was helpless against the pressure of Qin Peng's family background.
“He said 8 p.m., so I’ll leave at 8 p.m..” Ziyu picked up her book again. “If he doesn’t study, I still have to. I still want to get a scholarship.”
The high level of realism also has an advantage: he can actually learn new things in this game, and the scholarship is as high as eight thousand, which can be saved up and exchanged for real money later.
Even a few dollars is still money.
...
Yuechen is the largest entertainment venue in City A, encompassing a wide range of extremely luxurious entertainment options and facilities.
Some well-dressed professionals stroll through the space seeking new clients, while others, dressed in designer brands, leisurely enjoy themselves.
The decent-looking waiter took the money and started waiting at the door at eight o'clock. But it wasn't until almost nine o'clock that the person he was waiting for finally arrived slowly on a shared electric scooter. The contrast with the group of people around him who were driving expensive luxury cars was huge, not to mention that he was wearing a cheap cotton short-sleeved shirt that he had bought from some unknown website.
If it weren't for the fact that the person's face was indeed quite delicate, barely managing to make the ordinary clothes look good, it would probably look like a homeless person entering the palace.
After comparing the photos sent by the client several times, the waiter dutifully ran forward.
"Hello, are you Mr. Ziyu?"
Ziyu parked the electric scooter and looked at the extra fifteen yuan charged for exceeding the designated area; he almost fainted.
Nobody told him that Yuechen lived so far from his school!
Next time, I'd rather take the bus than ride my electric scooter!
"gentlemen?"
Ziyu then noticed the waiter standing next to her and quickly said, "Hello, hello, I'm Ziyu."
The waiter smiled and bowed slightly, saying, "Okay, Mr. Qin asked me to take you there. Please follow me."
After wandering through the beautifully decorated banquet hall and long corridors, going east and west, Ziyu's head was starting to ache.
[1902]
Finally, they stopped outside the agreed-upon private room. Ziyu was late, and it seemed that the celebration and fun had already begun inside. The lights were flashing, and the room was only slightly ajar, so it was impossible to see how many people were inside. Ziyu vaguely saw a familiar back, but before he could see it clearly, he heard an annoying voice coming from behind him.
"I thought you were too scared to come!"
As soon as the waiter left, Qin Peng strode impatiently to Ziyu, his face full of excitement, already anticipating Ziyu's expression.
Cheng Ru had just sent him a message. To satisfy Qin Yuzhen, he had found all kinds of people this time, each with top-notch looks and physique, and clean in body and mind, ensuring that his brother would have a pleasant stay.
"What wouldn't I dare to come?"
Ziyu looked at Qin Peng, who was wearing a strange smile, with a puzzled expression, and suddenly felt a chill.
In fact, compared to his simple dislike for Lin Hai, his feeling for Qin Peng was pure disgust.
This is what it tastes like when you're entangled in maggots.
Qin Peng was the late-life son of Qin's mother and brother, and was spoiled rotten. He thought that his affection was a great blessing. He was also simple-minded. Xia Xiaoqiao had him completely under her thumb. He didn't care that he was used as cannon fodder. He clearly liked Ziyu, but he could only get pleasure by belittling Ziyu. As a submissive character, Ziyu was most often maliciously attacked not by the obviously scumbag Qin Yuzhen, but by Qin Peng.
Qin Peng is Xia Xiaoqiao's accomplice.
However, Qin Peng's game ending was that he went abroad beautifully, married a rich girl of equal social standing, and even had a smart and clever son, enjoying the praise of others.
[Help, I remember the privilege in the second playthrough is that you can deviate from some parts of the story, right? Is it enough to just complete the major story points?]
[Reporting to the host: Yes, as long as the core plot of the scumbag seme and the submissive uke isn't altered, you have the privilege to change the fate of certain characters.]
Hearing his assistant say that, Ziyu almost burst out laughing.
Although he used to complain that his assistant was useless and a complete idiot, what she said this time perfectly matched what he was thinking.
When Ziyu looked at Qin Peng again, a glint of light flickered in his eyes.
"Do you know who's in the private room?" Qin Peng's smile grew wider and wider, and under Zi Yu's puzzled gaze, he opened the door to the private room even wider.
At that moment, Ziyu clearly saw that the person sitting in the center of the private room was none other than Qin Yuzhen!
However, several handsome young boys sat beside Qin Yuzhen.
The boy who leaned almost entirely against Qinyu Town looked almost exactly like Xia Xiaoqiao from his perspective.
If it weren't for the fact that Xia Xiaoqiao was still studying in Country A at this point in the story, Ziyu would have mistaken it for Xia Xiaoqiao.
The man who had been saying just a few days ago that he would treat Ziyu very well was now flushed, his eyes slightly narrowed as he watched everything happening in the private room. He seemed completely unfazed by the approach of the man next to him.
The wealthy young men around him were teasing him.
"Young Master Qin, this is the first time Xiao Meng has ever been so proactive!"
The boy named Xiaomeng in the center of the teasing also chuckled shyly, but did not refute it, his eyes greedily fixed on Qin Yuzhen's face.
He was once a member of the wealthy young class, but unfortunately, his father made a wrong decision that led to the family's bankruptcy. The boy, who had been raised with money since childhood, could not bear the huge difference and sold his face and body to make a living.
However, thanks to his good education, he knew the vices in men's hearts: the more noble someone is, the more they want to seduce them. So, over the years, he has managed to live the kind of life he used to have in this expensive place, thanks to his unique characteristics.
But rather than serving those rich young men, he always wanted to be kept by one person.
He had already heard that Qin Yuzhen was the only son of the Qin family in City A. He was rich and powerful, had good grades, and even before graduating, he already owned an excellent entertainment company. What's more, he also had a white moonlight (a term of endearment for someone special).
What surprised him most was that his face bore a striking resemblance to that of his beloved!
If he can get involved with Qin Yuzhen, he'll definitely be redeemed, and might even be made a star.
With that thought in mind, he tried even harder to seduce Qin Yuzhen. If he weren't concerned about his reputation, he would have loved to show Qin Yuzhen his skills right now.
Ziyu, standing at the doorway, saw everything clearly, not missing a single small movement.
"Ziyu, I called you here so you would understand your place."
It's perfect.
Qin Peng could barely contain his urge to burst out laughing.
He didn't think Qin Yuzhen would refuse Xiaomeng's advances; even he thought Xiaomeng was a truly high-quality woman.
"Don't think that just because my brother protected you a few days ago, you can become my brother's only one." Qin Peng leaned closer to Ziyu and said sarcastically, "You're just one of my brother's backup options."
“Look how much my brother likes him.”
Qin Peng pointed, and the atmosphere in the private room reached its peak because Xiao Meng wanted to kiss Qin Yuzhen.
"The only person my brother can truly like is Xiao Qiao. You need to know your limits."
Qin Peng didn't turn to look at Ziyu's expression. In his mind, Ziyu should immediately kneel down and cry, saying that she regretted pursuing Qin Yuzhen, that she shouldn't have broken up Qin Yuzhen and Xia Xiaoqiao, and begging to stay by his side.
He closed his eyes, eagerly awaiting Ziyu's cries, but after a long time, he not only didn't hear Ziyu sobbing, but the private room was eerily quiet.
Ziyu was standing with his arms crossed, looking at Qin Peng with an expression as if he were an idiot.
In the previous playthrough, he was able to send those who wanted to climb the social ladder to Qinyu Town's bed without changing his expression. Why would Qin Peng think that he would be sad about this?
It would be more accurate to say that he almost burst out laughing when he saw this scene.
Although she didn't know why Qin Yuzhen had suddenly changed his personality recently, seeing this scene, Ziyu was certain that Qin Yuzhen was still the same scumbag he was in the previous game.
Nothing has changed.
Qin Peng opened his eyes in disbelief and suddenly met Zi Yu's disdainful gaze.
"you……!"
"ah!"
Before Qin Peng could voice his doubts, a loud sound of shattering glass came from inside the private room.
Ziyu and Qin Peng were both startled by the noise and quickly looked into the private room.
Xiao Meng, who had been blushing earlier, was now slumped on the broken glass, her face deathly pale.
Qin Yuzhen, his face dark, glared menacingly at everyone in front of him. He was still holding a half-broken glass bottle in his hand, and blood was seeping from a cut on his arm.
He turned to the stunned Cheng Ru and said coldly, "Is this how you conduct business?"
He yelled at Xiaomeng, "Get out!"
Xiaomeng knew her dream was completely shattered. She had taken the initiative to seduce someone for the first time, and this was how she was treated. She was both angry and ashamed, and she scrambled out of the room.
When he reached the door, he saw Ziyu and Qin Peng, who were still in shock, and he became angry again, shoving Ziyu away fiercely.
Now, it's even harder for people inside the private room to see Ziyu at the door.
Inside the private room, Qin Yuzhen was panting heavily.
Having been given a second chance, he was very clear about the future development trends. So after his rebirth, he made a detailed plan for himself. What he needed to do now was to avoid the pitfalls he and Ziyu had encountered when they started their business together in his previous life.
In his previous life, he knew that Cheng Ru had indeed produced a superstar who was incredibly famous and a true cash cow, though it was said that this cash cow was still developing slowly.
That's why he was willing to come and participate; he thought Cheng Ru would bring that money tree with him.
Unexpectedly, the perfume and alcohol in the private room worked together to make him feel as if he were drunk in no time.
If he hadn't vaguely seen Ziyu's figure and been jolted awake, he probably would have fallen victim to the schemes of these spoiled brats he looked down upon.
The famous CEO Qin in his previous life, and the enviable CEO Qin in this life, is in such a sorry state for the first time.
"Hey! Young Master Qin, let's talk this out." Cheng Ru was also startled, but considering that he was the one who organized the gathering, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and help Xiao Meng up to avoid losing face. "It wouldn't be good if she really got hurt, right?"
"..."
Qin Yuzhen's expression remained cold.
Everyone else present felt immense pressure; if they could run, they probably would have already packed their bags and fled.
Weren't we out here looking for fun?
"Xiao Meng is the club's top star, Mr. Qin. If you really don't like her, we can find someone else..."
Remembering his good brother's entrustment, Cheng Ru, even though he was so frightened that he wanted to run away, still spoke out of loyalty under the deathly gaze of Qin Yu Town.
"When you go out to have fun, you always need someone to accompany you, right..."
Cheng Ru broke out in a cold sweat.
He had never felt such pressure when he met Qin Yuzhen before.
Little did Cheng Ru know that the person standing before him was Qin Yuzhen, who had been reborn.
Qin Yuzhen sneered.
"Don't you know I have a boyfriend?"
Having a boyfriend doesn't stop me from having fun...
This is what everyone here truly thinks.
So what if you have a partner? It's perfectly normal to go out and have fun. It's like some people who have cats at home still go to cat cafes to pet them from time to time.
"Don't you have a boyfriend?"
Qin Yuzhen directly interrupted Cheng Ru's explanation.
"No, no."
As for Cheng Ru, he hadn't had enough fun yet, so he wasn't in a hurry to find a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Upon hearing this answer, Qin Yuzhen forced a smile onto his gloomy face and said disdainfully.
"Someone like you, it's obvious you don't have a boyfriend."
Qin Yuzhen casually tossed the broken wine bottle on the ground, raised his chin, his expression cold yet subtly revealing a hint of pride. The words he spoke the next moment made everyone present widen their eyes.
"A man who doesn't know how to respect himself is someone no one will love."
"And I cherish my body, so I have a boyfriend!"
—A 1 who doesn't properly protect Joan of Arc will never have a 0!
Cheng Ru froze on the spot, while Zi Yu, standing in the corner behind the door, felt as if the taut thread in his mind had snapped, and he screamed madly in his heart.
That scumbag has gone mad! What is he saying?!
He was such a mess in his past life!!! What is he doing in this life?! What is he doing?!
o! o! c! 了!

As Ziyu was internally screaming, he didn't notice that another gaze was silently fixed on him.
"President Tang." The portly manager wiped away cold sweat as he followed behind the man.
Gently turning the exquisitely crafted emerald ring on his thumb, the mature and handsome man carefully examined Ziyu's slender back.
"who is he?"
