Of course, Chu Linke would never let emotions cloud his judgment.
While he was working to win over Fu Qingruo, he also sent people to investigate the people around her, such as her friends and her team.
Find out their information, identify their weaknesses, and then start bribing and brainwashing them one by one.
For example, he would consistently order meals for Fu Qingruo's team every noon, and every meal was delicious, making people's mouths water.
As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and gradually, some members of the team began to praise Chu Lin in front of Fu Qingruo.
"It's so rare to find a boyfriend like Mr. Chu who insists on picking you up and dropping you off every day and bringing you lunch every meal. If it were me, I would definitely try to win him over as soon as possible."
Fu Qingruo lifted her eyelids, her tone cold: "Then I'll give him to you?"
"How could I possibly accept that!" The boy covered his face shyly. "To be with him, I'd have to change my personality, which is too much of a price to pay."
Everyone burst into laughter.
They all echoed him, saying, "Sister Qing, I think Mr. Chu is sincere towards you. I've never seen any guy who pursues you so sincerely."
"Yes! Sister Qing, you'll definitely regret missing out on such a great opportunity."
Fu Qingruo did not respond, seemingly acknowledging their thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Lin posted photos of his daily interactions with Fu Qingruo online.
Even without intimate contact, the combination of handsome men and beautiful women is undoubtedly pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, in the photo, Chu Lin's eyes were full of affection as he looked at Fu Qingruo, as if this woman was the only one in the entire world who had caught his eye.
Netizens flocked to ship the couple, exclaiming, "Ahhh, I'm dying to ship them! I can imagine a whole 10,000-word romance story just from those eyes!"
I used to suspect they were just using each other for publicity! Now I finally believe it, they're a perfect match.
[I've already imagined three hundred romance novels about them in my head, how can they be so sweet!]
[Aren't they not officially dating yet? This goddess is so aloof! Hurry up and be honest with your feelings!]
At this moment, it felt as if the whole world was supporting them.
Only Fu Yunchen explicitly stated publicly that he would not agree with Chu Lin.
There were even rumors that the siblings had a big fight over this, which caused a rift in their relationship.
This matter has garnered significant attention within the industry; even some CEOs couldn't suppress their gossipy nature.
"Actually, I noticed that the atmosphere between the siblings was a bit off at the party that day."
"That's more than just strange, it's clearly a head-on confrontation!"
"Is Miss Fu really going to break ties with President Fu for a man? That's her own brother!"
"Women who are obsessed with love are really scary. They often have no rationality and go crazy for a man, which is a terrible thing."
"I guess the two siblings have probably gone their separate ways by now."
"Haven't you heard? Because of Mr. Fu's disapproval, Miss Fu has moved out of the house. It's obvious that things have fallen apart!"
Chu Lin had naturally heard about these rumors, but unlike the speculations of others, he was a witness to them firsthand.
A while ago, Fu Qingruo would occasionally return to the Fu family home for a day or two, but just now, she dragged her luggage and officially moved out.
Chu Lin parked the car outside.
Seeing her emerge from inside with a frosty expression, he personally went to greet her, took the luggage from her hands, and feigned concern, asking, "Qingruo, are you alright?"
Upon seeing him, Fu Qingruo's expression softened considerably. "It's alright, let's go."
“But…” Chu Lin frowned slightly and said insincerely, “It’s not good to fall out with President Fu over me! How about I go see him myself and ask him to give me another chance…”
"No need." Fu Qingruo's expression was cold. "I have nothing more to say to him."
Chu Lin appeared worried, but inside he was incredibly smug.
He had just heard Fu Yunchen question him in the coldest tone through the bug: "Do you really want to be with that kind of hypocritical man?"
Fu Qingruo remained silent for a long time before firmly saying, "He saved me and treated me very well, better than any of you. If you really can't accept him, then I won't come back."
Chu Lin knew that the reason why someone her age was still not in a relationship was not because she didn't want to, but because she lacked love.
This type of woman appears aloof on the surface, but in reality, it's a way to mask her inner loneliness.
He, through his repeated declarations of love and actions, made her feel a sense of security she had never experienced before.
Now, watching as things gradually turn in his favor, Chu Lin felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
He felt it was about time.
...
A few days later, Chu Lin picked her up from get off work as usual and took her to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
However, during the meal, he seemed absent-minded and frequently lost in thought.
Fu Qingruo called him several times before he reacted.
A forced smile appeared on his face: "What's wrong?"
Fu Qingruo stared at him for a while, then suddenly put down her fork, her face cold. "Since eating with me makes you so bored, you don't have to force yourself."
"No, no, that's not it." Chu Lin panicked immediately. "I didn't find it boring, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"But..." Chu Lin stammered for a long time before finally sighing helplessly, "My company has recently encountered some difficulties and there is still no solution. I stayed up all night yesterday researching information and I may not have recovered yet."
I really didn't want you to see this useless side of me. You must be very disappointed in me!
Fu Qingruo was visibly taken aback. "You're already so busy, yet you still come to pick me up every day and have meals with me. Doesn't that take up a lot of your time?"
“Business is important, but you are more important than business.” Chu Lin said affectionately, “I can lose everything, but I cannot lose you.”
Fu Qingruo seemed flustered by his direct approach, and unconsciously lowered her eyes, saying in a trembling voice, "I will never be disappointed in you."
Chu Lin was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was responding to his previous sentence.
He couldn't help but feel a little smug, but he said bitterly, "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get through this situation."
"What exactly happened?" Fu Qingruo also became serious. "If you trust me, you can tell me."
Chu Lin replied without hesitation, "Of course I believe you, but..."
He hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "You must have heard about 'Lofele' bidding for the Northwest Forest Mountain Area Redevelopment Project recently!"
Fu Qingruo nodded.
"My original goal in bidding for this project was to build the world's largest amusement park in China, attract tourists from all over the world, and make 'Lofele' famous all over the world."
