Super Tycoon: I Beg You, Stop Pulling Stunts

His tone grew inexplicably excited as he spoke of these things.

Just thinking about it was enough to get his blood pumping.

A disruptive social product.

Once again standing at the forefront of the times.

Although the social media software sector was already highly monopolized, with very few decent products outside of the major players, well... no product lasts forever. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Humanity’s need for social connection is constantly changing.

Geng Yue had this confidence.

’This is my second startup,’ he decided internally. ’And it will be my last.’

’To accomplish something like this in one lifetime would be enough.’

Lin Chu once again considered the difficulty. It was pretty tough, practically as hard as reaching for the sky.

But for him, the benefit was that it could create a synergistic effect.

It didn’t even need to reach its final version. During the user acquisition phase, it could already feed back into what he was currently doing, helping him connect with more people.

At the same time, the new brothers and friends he met could be directed to this software.

’Taking a huge step back, even if he fails and it flops, it’s only two million.’

’A drop in the bucket.’

"Alright, I have no more questions. Is your company registered?"

Having thought it through, Lin Chu spoke with conviction.

Geng Yue replied, "It’s registered. My core team of three is already writing code. We’re working out of a rented apartment right now. It’ll take about two months to develop version 1.0, but if we have enough money, we can do it even faster."

"Good. Come to my company tomorrow. We’ll sign the contract, and you’ll get the money."

Lin Chu said briskly.

’Interesting.’

’Very interesting, indeed.’

’These fierce entrepreneurs all have a certain drive.’

To be fair, Lin Chu really admired it.

...

"President Lin, can you drop me off at the next intersection? There’s no need for me to join you for dinner since we’ve finished our discussion, right? I just live nearby."

As they were nearing the city center, Geng Yue took the initiative to speak up.

’Mission accomplished. Time to make a graceful exit.’

’Besides, I shouldn’t get in the way of the big boss and his lady!’

Lin Chu thought for a moment and had the driver let him out.

After Geng Yue got out of the car, Chen Jinyu glanced at Lin Chu, her eyes sparkling and full of emotion.

A moment ago, she’d vaguely sensed a complete transformation in Lin Chu. Compared to before, he seemed less like a rogue and more like an elite. It was as if he truly had the air of a tycoon who could command the business world.

’But he’s only 24.’

"Have you been busy with all sorts of business lately?"

she asked in a soft, sweet voice.

Lin Chu jutted out his chin, nodding with a smile. "Yeah, business follows me everywhere. I’ve got a few hundred million on hand that I can’t even spend. It’s so annoying."

Chen Jinyu: ?

Her beautiful eyes widened slightly. She looked at him with a mixture of shock, helplessness, adoration, and a hint of doting indulgence. ’What kind of nonsense is he spouting?’

Chen Jinyu didn’t have grand ambitions and was quite content with her own little world. For her, being a chef was both a job and a passion. But an ambitious man focused on making money was still very attractive.

"Just take your time. You’re already doing great. If you ever feel tired, come find me for a meal. You can order anything you want."

she said gently.

Lin Chu nodded with a smile. "Okay."

"That man from Mission Hills, Zhu Yixian, actually asked me out for coffee earlier. I turned him down. I didn’t expect you to be having dinner with him. It makes things a little awkward for me. If you have serious business to discuss, I don’t have to go."

Chen Jinyu thought for a moment before speaking softly.

Although there was a hint of resentment in her heart, she didn’t show it, hiding it very well.

In truth, the situation was indeed a bit awkward.

Even though she really wanted to have a meal alone with Lin Chu.

Hearing this, Lin Chu glanced at her, slightly surprised.

’Tsk, a thirty-year-old woman is just so mature and gentle.’

’My guess wasn’t wrong. Zhu Yixian really is interested in her.’

Shaking his head with a smile, Lin Chu teased, "Maybe he’s only coming because of you. I probably couldn’t have gotten him to come out otherwise."

In response to that, Chen Jinyu shot him a playful glare and tapped him lightly. "Don’t be ridiculous. What do you take me for?"

"Alright, then you head back first. I’ll come find you later."

Lin Chu didn’t say anything more and had the driver take her home.

’Better not to provoke Xiaozhu. This kind of ’play’ isn’t really appropriate; it would be a bit of a low blow.’

...

After dropping her off, Lin Chu called Zhu Yixian. "Where are you? What do you feel like eating?"

They had previously agreed to meet near Futian Che Kung Temple, but they hadn’t specified an exact location.

Hearing Lin Chu’s question, Zhu Yixian laughed. "You decide. I’m good with anything."

"Let’s go to the Western restaurant at the Langting Hotel, then. The two of us can eat, drink, and chat."

Huh?

’The two of us?’

"Did your... ahem, girlfriend go home?"

Zhu Yixian picked up on the detail in Lin Chu’s phrasing. He was a little surprised, a hint of disappointment in his heart, but he also asked with a sense of relief.

He had spent the whole ride over thinking about how to handle the slightly awkward situation, mentally preparing a whole script, only to find it was all for naught.

"She went home. She wasn’t feeling well."

"Why, were you...?"

Lin Chu licked his lips, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.

Zhu Yixian was startled and immediately replied in a steady voice, "Okay, I have no problem with that. Just the two of us, then."

After hanging up, Lin Chu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

’Tsk. Confirmed. He really is a "perfect gentleman."’

’A friend with that kind of attribute is a rare sight in my circle. Fucking rare.’

’I’m not even one myself.’

But then again, being born into such a wealthy family, never having seen the darker side of the world, not being very old, and being well-protected by his family—it was understandable that Zhu Yixian would develop such a character.
