Section 290

An exquisitely flawless, vixenish, oval face that was absolutely soul-stirring.

At this moment, she leaned lazily against her office chair, her brows furrowed slightly.

She was playing with her phone in her hand.

No one knew what she was thinking.

After a round of Massage, Xu Hao ordered his daughter to squat in front of him and beat his legs.

Meanwhile, he picked up his phone.

He began reading the information about the female lead, Lin Chuqing.

It was about time to make a move on this iceberg female lead.

It was a bit difficult.

This female lead had an icy personality.

She was solely focused on developing her company.

She had her own goals and pursuits, leaving him with no easy way to make a move.

If he were to help her develop her company…

Her principles could be seen from how she rejected the money offered by that spendthrift second-generation rich heir of the Chu family.

She would not accept anyone's charity…

Xu Hao took this into consideration.

In order to boost her favorability,

he had even pulled off a move of paying first and taking the goods later.

But that was only a tiny bit of favorability.

Who knew how far away he still was from reaching the Realm of "you in me, and me in you."

For Lin Chuqing to carve out a place for herself in the business world, she had to have an incredibly deep understanding of human nature.

She was very rational; a standard "hero saving the beauty" act wouldn't work on her at all.

If she ever found out, they would turn into enemies instead.

As for using threats, that was even more out of the question.

First, he didn't have any fatal leverage over her.

Second, if he personally suppressed Lin Chuqing's company and said something like, "You wouldn't want your company to go bankrupt, would you?"

Not only would it fail to threaten Lin Chuqing, but it would also ruin the persona he had carefully maintained for years…

The losses would outweigh the gains.

After much thought, he still had to start with the enmity between the Chu family and Lin Chuqing.

He checked the overt and covert struggles between the two sides over the past few days.

The Chu family was still using business tactics to suppress her.

Various factions were targeting her, persuading banks not to grant her loans and warning other forces not to cooperate with her.

Little did they know, he had already backstabbed this big brother of theirs…

Lin Chuqing had already secured the funding and invested it into technology research and development.

Of course, regarding Zheng Feifan, the culprit who beat up Chu Xiaotian,

Chu Xiong did not let him off either.

He often sent people to cause trouble for him.

Just this?

Xu Hao frowned.

He had wondered how the Chu family was going to deal with Zheng Feifan.

Just this kind of minor bickering?

It was completely ineffective.

Xu Hao pondered for a moment and understood why.

It must be because the Chu family found out about Zheng Feifan bringing down the imperial capital's Zhaos Media.

So they were a bit scared.

"This won't do."

"If you guys don't fight fiercely, how can I reap the benefits as a bystander?"

He had to instigate something.

How should he do it?

Xu Hao immersed his consciousness into his Pocket Dimension.

He wanted to see if there were any overlooked items from his previous lucky draws that he could use.

As expected.

He didn't find anything useful.

The System items that could be placed in his Pocket Dimension

were all just useless little trinkets, like clothes, Durex, and Aphrodisiac Powder…

Wait!

Xu Hao focused his mind on the Aphrodisiac Powder.

An idea slowly surfaced.

Since he had no way to make a move on the icy female lead, Lin Chuqing,

why not just present her with a fait accompli?

Don't misunderstand; he disdained doing something like drugging a woman.

Because in Xu Hao's eyes,

this kind of method was incredibly low-class.

0 Flowers requested

Seeking temporary pleasure wouldn't last.

Afterward, the female lead would only feel disgusted and repulsed.

Just because he disdained doing it himself didn't mean he couldn't let someone else do it, while he took the opportunity to intercept the prize.

Almost instantly, Xu Hao thought of Li Xiao.

He was his brother-in-law, after all.

If he asked Li Xiao to help him with something, he probably wouldn't refuse, right?

Didn't that Chu Xiaotian have feelings for Lin Chuqing?

He could have Li Xiao egg him on and find an opportunity to drug Lin Chuqing.

With Chu Xiaotian's intelligence-lowered brain,

he would definitely be willing to do it.

Once the minor villain finished administering the drug, he would step forward to play the hero saving the beauty.

Tsk, tsk…

By then, with the deed done,

the female lead would even weep with gratitude toward him for saving her.

Meanwhile, the protagonist, Zheng Feifan, would also fight the Chu family to the death.

Just imagine—

The woman he liked got drugged, only to be intercepted and bedded by an enemy instead.

Wouldn't Zheng Feifan go completely mad?

Since he wouldn't be able to do anything to him, he could only take it out on the Chu family.

Once both sides fought to their mutual destruction, he would step forward to clean up and wrap things up.

Becoming the ultimate winner.

With this move, not only would he win over the icy female lead and find a Breakthrough to conquer her,

but he would also drive a wedge between the Chu family and the protagonist.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Perfect!

In the afternoon—
