Chapter Fifty-Four: One Terrible Idea After Another
Seeing that Alvis had gotten into position, Zhou Ran straightened her expression and said seriously.
"First, even the most virtuous woman can be won over by persistent pursuit, and the same goes for the most virtuous man. So you have to put in the time and effort to show him your sincerity."
Alvis nodded as he took notes.
As if suddenly remembering something, his excitement vanished, and he looked at Zhou Ran with a dejected expression.
"Sister-in-law!"
"Call me Young Master Zhou."
"Oh, Mr. Zhou, I've been pestering him for a long time, but he just ignores me and complains that I'm annoying."
Zhou Ran continued to deceive the naive child.
"Your method is wrong. Tell me how you pursued her, and I'll revise my approach for you."
"oh oh."
Alvis briefly explained what he had done before.
He asked many people and consulted numerous reference books.
They had someone send Xia Chengjun flowers every day, with different kinds sent each time.
He even hired someone to write love letters, which he then copied again.
He even dressed up smartly and went to find Xia Chengjun to give him gifts and flowers.
Xia Chengjun threw out all his belongings and chased everyone out.
He thought that perhaps the gift he gave was too ordinary and failed to touch Xia Chengjun's heart.
So he gathered opinions from many people and sent Xia Chengjun jewelry and various high-end gifts.
This time, Xia Chengjun didn't throw it out, but had it escorted back, saying that he didn't like it and didn't need to send it next time.
Alvis did not back down; he thought it was a good sign, at least he hadn't thrown it away.
They'll make the gifts even more thoughtful, and listen to their advice: give surprises and romantic gestures.
She set up a flower field, balloons, and other decorations, and then went to find Xia Chengjun in a high-profile manner.
This time, we didn't even see anyone, and the gate wasn't even opened.
Unable to see anyone, Alvis was getting restless and wanted to meet Xia Chengjun through a friend.
She would meet him through friends or at banquets and then relentlessly pursue him.
Xia Chengjun did not chase anyone away, but after the banquet, he would have someone beat him up.
If it weren't for his brother's concern for his safety, which led him to send over many bodyguards and even bring the butler, his face would be covered in bruises, and he wouldn't be able to go out and face anyone.
Zhou Ran looked at the silly boy with a strange expression.
This kid has a shady background, how did he raise such an innocent person?
To emerge from the mud unsullied is quite an anomaly among genetic mutations.
"Sister-in-law, what should I do?"
Zhou Ran withdrew her sympathy; the kid was still alive, and his family had had a tough time too.
Seeing Zhou Ran glaring at him, Alvis looked down at himself. He wasn't covered in anything, so why was he looking at him like that?
"Sister-in-law..."
I had barely opened my mouth to ask what was wrong when I received a fierce glare from him.
It seemed like he was saying with his eyes, "If you say another word, I'll kill you."
He abruptly stopped himself from saying anything more and quickly changed his tune.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Zhou, what should I do? How can I live without him?"
Why do you like him?
Is it some kind of illness, like Stockholm syndrome? Would someone fall in love with the person who kidnapped them and develop an intimate, dependent relationship during the kidnapping?
"He's so handsome, like a delicate porcelain doll. And he's so skilled. He was holding a sniper rifle, lying on the roof, taking heads one by one. He was so handsome that you couldn't take your eyes off him."
Whenever Alvis mentions Xia Chengjun, it's like a place filled with starlight, radiating the hottest heat, and dancing wildly on the edge of madness.
They were just a hair's breadth away from crossing that line and going insane.
Seeing him like that, Zhou Ran couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Now I finally understand why Xia Chengjun didn't die at the beginning of the story, but instead disappeared.
His cheap second brother isn't living the typical "domineering CEO and my gangster husband" story.
Instead, it's a script about a domineering CEO and his obsessive, crazy gangster husband.
It's not a game of cat and mouse; he has no way to escape.
Rather, it's half of the domestic criminal law, and in the end, even if it means destroying you with my own hands, I'll keep you by my side like a madman.
No wonder Xia Chengjun died abroad and never had the chance to go back.
With this lunatic watching over us, we can't possibly go back home.
"Does Xia Chengjun have any girls he likes? The kind he's close to?"
Zhou Ran suspected that Xia Chengjun might also have a naive and innocent female lead arranged around him.
"No, I've investigated. He doesn't have a girlfriend at all, not even a female companion..."
At this point, Alvis became quite unhappy.
One look at her expression and you could tell something was up, so Zhou Ran pressed for details.
"Do you have other close relatives?"
"Yes, he has two subordinates who are very close, especially a man named Qin Ge. Xia Chengjun trusts him the most and takes him everywhere he goes."
Zhou Ran nodded, indicating that she understood.
"If you want to pursue Xia Chengjun, you need to be confident. What are you lacking?"
Zhou Ran was teasing the silly boy.
"Look at you, you have a good family background, good looks, money, and a heart that loves Xia Chengjun. As long as you work hard, you can win the heart of your beauty."
"Yes, yes, Young Master Zhou, you have a keen eye for talent. I am indeed a high-quality stock."
Zhou Ran nodded in agreement; the silly boy had managed to get the idiom right once again.
“You see, you were pestering her relentlessly before, but your methods were a bit wrong. You need to cater to her preferences, then plan a chance encounter, and shamelessly move in.”
"Young Master Zhou, just say it, I'll listen to whatever you say."
Alvis nodded frantically, his face full of admiration, indicating that he would listen to Young Master Zhou.
Young Master Zhou started to fool the kid.
“Look, you give him flowers and jewelry, but he doesn’t like them. If you give him other things, like money or weapons, no man can refuse them. You just said that Xia Chengjun also likes these things.”
"That's right!" Alvis frantically noted down these clues.
How could he forget that women like jewelry, but he pursues men, and Xia Chengjun, such a handsome and beautiful man, doesn't like women's things.
He could give money, but that's a bit too vulgar. He'd rather give weapons; he has plenty of those.
Seeing that the naive boy had taken the bait, Zhou Ran continued.
“Look at you, you go to banquets under the guise of other people’s banquets, and you never get anything good out of it. You should host your own banquet and ask him to come on his own initiative. This way, you give him the choice, and everyone else will know that you have feelings for Xia Chengjun.”
Yes, yes.
Zhou Ran continued,
"Once Xia Chengjun agrees, you should introduce him to people and his network."
Let others see you standing openly beside him, so that when they think of you they think of him, or vice versa.
"With so many people saying good things about you, and hearing it in Xia Chengjun's ear every day, over time he will get used to your presence and think of you first in everything."
"Hmm, as expected of Young Master Zhou, you're a master! You're amazing."
Zhou Ran waved her hand, "It's nothing. After a while, you can find an excuse to visit."
With me and his brother here, you can use us as an excuse to visit. Go a few times, and you'll be welcome into our home.
"Yes, yes, that's exactly it. Hearing Young Master Zhou's words was like a wake-up call... I poured ice water on myself, and it felt so refreshing."
Zhou Ran's lips twitched; he probably meant to say "a sudden enlightenment."
"This is just the first move; there's a second one."
Alvis got ready and waited for Zhou Ran to continue.
Zhou Ran glanced at Ilvis.
Alvis blinked before realizing that he had started talking to the man as soon as they met without even serving him tea.
"Butler, butler, serve Young Master Zhou the best tea and cake. Don't forget to prepare a gift for him to take with him later."
After Yalvis finished speaking, he saw a smile return to Zhou Ran's face.
He said slowly and deliberately, "The second step is to establish a legal identity and formal status as soon as possible."
"That sounds really difficult."
"Think about it, you're doing all this not to win her over."
I want him to be my husband.
"Then we'll definitely be a proper couple. If you're going to pursue me and then dump me, then you'd better stay away from my brother."
"How could that be? I'll love him for the rest of my life. He'd rather die in the same coffin as me."
As she said this, Zhou Ran keenly noticed a flash of red light in Alvis's eyes.
It seems this silly boy has a family history of mental illness; no wonder things developed so quickly in his premonition.
"That's good. You need to gain your family's approval and become their acknowledged fiancé, then you can win them over from the inside."
"Oh right, then I'll take the gift to see my older brother!"
A new door has been opened in Alvis's world. It turns out there are so many tricks involved in pursuing someone. Indeed, people are full of cunning ideas.
He planned to bring gifts to win over his older brother, while simultaneously pursuing the other woman and trying to win her over as soon as possible.
Seeing that the man had been fooled, Zhou Ran smiled with satisfaction, taking advantage of the moment when the naive boy could still be deceived to squeeze out as much benefit as possible.
"Butler, prepare gifts. Replace the jewelry for Junjun with weapons. Prepare gifts for my elder brother and sister-in-law. Get the car ready. We're leaving immediately."
The fool was still a man of action; he strode off to prepare his things.
The castle servants busied themselves at his command.
Zhou Ran took a sip of tea. This foreign tea was too sweet and didn't taste good.
The freshly served mousse cake looked good, and he poked a small piece into his mouth.
"Ha, how many candy sellers must have been killed by this? These foreign pastries are so sweet that just two bites can give you diabetes. Do they think foreign candy is free? They just keep putting it in like that."
Zhou Ran had a bad impression of foreigners; she thought many of them were crazy or mentally unstable.
In his past life, he encountered few normal people; they were illogical, simply insane.
It's not suitable to work with these civilized people.
His subordinates in his previous life shared the same idea: to exterminate all foreigners who invaded the area, leaving no trace of them.
For a time, their gang was nicknamed "Yangmei" because they married foreigners, and the foreigners would all disappear.
Back then, their nomination numbers alone were enough to push back a whole bunch of foreigners.
Ah, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories.
Now he's like a dragon stranded in shallow water, being teased by shrimp; he can't perform even a fraction of what he used to be.
Alvis returned quickly, holding a phone, his face beaming with a fawning explanation.
"I really didn't do anything to my sister-in-law. I just invited him over as a guest. I got his permission before inviting him over. There was absolutely no kidnapping."
This is not an injustice to me. How could I dare to lay a hand on your family? I wouldn't dare even if you gave me a hundred lives.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll give the phone to my sister-in-law right away." Author's note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
