As Diao Yu thought this through, an idea quickly came to mind.
A warm and friendly smile instantly appeared on his face. He stepped forward, hooked his arm around Sheng Zhicheng, and put his hand on his shoulder.
"I never imagined that I would have such a connection with Xiao Sheng. There's an old saying: 'All men are brothers under heaven, and no one is a stranger on the road.' Since we are so destined to meet, I shall call you Brother Sheng from now on!"
He originally wanted to say "Xiao Sheng", but he quickly remembered the age difference between Zhen Yulin and Sheng Zhicheng. According to the seniority system, he should really call him "brother", so he quickly changed his address.
For the sake of money, it's okay to let this sucker get a little advantage first!
Sheng Zhicheng didn't like meddling in other people's business. In fact, he knew his magic was mediocre and his strength was average, so he always adhered to the principle of "the less trouble, the better." However—
When Yu Lin's background was exposed, Sheng Zhicheng was gossiping when his father suddenly called and told him that the Sheng family owed the Qin family a great favor many years ago. He didn't say what it was, but his tone was very serious, and he repeatedly instructed Sheng Zhicheng to take good care of Yu Lin and try to build a good relationship with him.
This gave Sheng Zhicheng a real headache—taking care of him wasn't difficult, and building a good relationship was easy, but... the person appearing on camera now wasn't even the real Yu Lin, so how was he supposed to take care of him?
After much hesitation, he told Old Man Sheng about the unusual thing he had noticed during the game that morning.
After listening, Old Man Sheng remained silent for a long time, and then told him a shocking secret...
Sheng Zhicheng's purpose in coming here was to test Diao Yu. It was his first time doing something like this, so he was inevitably nervous. He had finally mustered up the courage to follow Diao Yu here, and his nerves were already on edge. Diao Yu's sudden change in attitude made him extremely uneasy, especially when Diao Yu put his arm around him. He was so shocked that he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Hey, Sheng, are you hot? Why are you sweating?" Diao Yu asked in surprise when she saw beads of sweat on Sheng Zhicheng's forehead.
Sheng Zhicheng quickly regained his composure, forcing down his panic, and wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve. "Ah, yes, a little. Maybe I was wearing too many clothes..."
Diao Yu gave a nonchalant "oh," then quickly steered the conversation to his purpose: "Actually, I have a private project with excellent prospects. It's a sure-fire way to make money, guaranteed to be profitable! We're currently raising initial funding, and the investor slots are already full. But since you're my brother, I'm giving you a share of my own profits. Pretty generous, right? What do you think?"
Sheng Zhicheng was a little confused. His keen business sense immediately told him that what Diao Yu said was likely unreliable, but he couldn't say it outright, so he politely declined, saying, "Why, why did we suddenly get onto the business topic? I... I might need to think about it..."
Seeing this, Diao Yu clicked her tongue, released him, and pouted, "Alright, alright, I just thought I'd help you out because we clicked, our families are connected, and I have a way to make money. I didn't expect you wouldn't believe me! Forget it, forget it! Humph, my sincerity was wasted!"
After saying that, he deliberately pretended to be disappointed and turned around as if to leave.
Sheng Zhicheng was taken aback: Oh dear, I haven't even figured out what's going on yet, I can't let him leave!
He gritted his teeth and shouted at Diao Yu's retreating figure, "Don't rush, I... I agree to invest!"
