Poisoning

After half an hour, Fang Qiang endured the pain and stopped the collar program.

As for Lu Zhou, he didn't care and went straight to find Ye Qingchen to go home and have a meal together.

He dialed Ye Qingchen's phone. "Qingchen, are you going home? Where are you?"

"Okay. I'm in the design building."

Lu Zhou casually rode his bicycle and hurried towards the design building.

When he arrived downstairs, a graceful figure was waiting at the entrance, still looking around.

He waved and approached her, took her backpack and wore it in front of himself.

Then, after Ye Qingchen got on the bike, he pedaled and disappeared like a gust of wind.

Inside and outside the building, someone was lamenting.

"Farewell, my first love..."

"Seeking advice on how to chase a goddess with a bicycle, waiting online urgently..."

"I heard this senior is in Room 305 in the Bamboo Garden, seeking a team to block the door..."

The bicycle reached the circular island road in the university town, and Lu Zhou slowed down the speed while talking to Ye Qingchen.

"Let's go to Shenzhen South tomorrow, together."

On the back seat, Ye Qingchen tugged on Lu Zhou's clothes, feeling a bit embarrassed. "No, I have to open the shop."

"It's alright, I'll support you."

Ye Qingchen also caught the meaning behind his words. "You should take care of yourself first, silly."

She teased Lu Zhou, "You're still living in my house."

Only then did he remember that Ye Qingchen mentioned before that she lived in her grandfather's house.

"One building, four households, six floors, one unit costs 800,000, and 20,000 per month, roughly around one billion... You're a rich woman. You should support me."

He jokingly said, but in his heart, he couldn't help but think of Chen He. "Uncle Chen, in the end, you still left something behind."

Ye Qingchen couldn't help but laugh when she heard it. "Haha... No way."

"I remember it's not you who collects the rent, it seems to be Liu Jie, who lives on the sixth floor."

"Yeah, my grandfather asked her to collect it. She doesn't charge for her own unit."

Lu Zhou thought for a moment. "Then, can you ask her to help manage the shop downstairs? You can't handle it yourself on weekdays."

"Okay, I'll ask."

Lu Zhou stopped the bicycle, raised his hoof, and pulled Ye Qingchen up the stairs. He said, "So, we're still going tomorrow, you have no say in it, rich woman."

Ye Qingchen appeared a bit shy. "Then, can we come back on the same day?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou instantly understood. He turned around and approached Ye Qingchen, looking into her eyes. "Little sister, your thoughts are dangerous."

"We'll come back the same day."

After saying that, he turned around and continued walking upstairs, ignoring Ye Qingchen's blushing face.

When they arrived at the entrance of Ye Qingchen's house, Lu Zhou playfully said, "Open the door, cook for me."

Ye Qingchen pouted, "No way. Go downstairs and eat instant noodles yourself."

Lu Zhou took a look and realized that his teasing just now had made Ye Qingchen a little upset. He reached out and caressed Ye Qingchen's cheek, saying, "I can't eat without you."

Ye Qingchen couldn't take it anymore, her face turned even redder than before. She stiffly avoided Lu Zhou's hand, took out the key, and opened

the door.

"A thirty-year-old single man, a player who flirts with girls, the little sister still can't resist." Lu Zhou inwardly felt proud and teased himself.

After entering the house, Ye Qingchen, like a startled little rabbit, went straight to the kitchen and started busying herself with preparing dinner.

Lu Zhou had nothing to do, so he took out his phone and opened the Penguin app.

Monkey had sent him several messages.

"Brother, you did a great job."

"Are you there?"

"The other party's program stopped directly. I tried to place an order, but I couldn't follow their previous process."

"Brother?"

"Price can be negotiated, brother, don't ignore me..."

Lu Zhou replied, "The price is non-negotiable. I'm in the North and South districts of Shenzhen. Let's meet face to face tomorrow."

After a while, the other party replied to Lu Zhou's message, "Okay, I'm also in the North district. What time?"

"Ten in the morning. We'll discuss the specific location later."

"Okay. By the way, can you keep disrupting the program of this shop?"

Lu Zhou shook his head. This monkey was quite persistent. "Hehe."

"... Switching servers is all it takes for them. You can't completely shut them down. It won't be long before they recover. You wouldn't understand. Give them a way out; otherwise, they'll come after you, and you won't have a solution."

Hehe, wasn't Lu Zhou currently going after him?

"Alright, brother, can you lower the price a bit more..."

When Lu Zhou saw that the monkey was still pestering him, he felt a bit annoyed and simply threw his phone aside, ignoring it.

He went to the kitchen and said, "Qingchen, do you have a computer at home? I need to use it."

Upon seeing Lu Zhou, Ye Qingchen involuntarily moved back, as if the aftermath of their previous interaction hadn't completely disappeared.

"Yes, I do."

She came out of the kitchen, bypassed Lu Zhou, and opened the door to his room for him. Then she returned to the kitchen, keeping her head lowered the whole time, as if she was afraid of him seeing her blushing face.

Lu Zhou entered the room, which was tidy and didn't have the typical feel of a girl's room. There was a bookshelf, bunk beds, and a desk.

It seemed that Ye Qingchen used to live with Ye Ping, so the room appeared simple and lacked personal style.

He glanced at the bulky monitor on the desk. "I haven't seen this kind of CRT monitor in a while."

He turned on the computer, and the Windows 2000 logo stood out conspicuously.

"...I won't even ask for Windows 7. It was released last year. At least update to Vista. If not, XP will do."

Lu Zhou found it somewhat amusing. Perhaps Ye Qingchen wasn't paying attention to these things.

The computer desk was simple, with only commonly used applications like the Penguin app and a browser.

He opened the browser and murmured, "I'm just curious about what little sister does on her computer in her free time. Seriously, I don't mean anything else."

Then, with an evil grin, he opened the browser's history.

"Logo design - QianDu Search..."

"Banana drawing techniques - QianDu Search..."

"Banana sketch references - QianDu Search..."

"Light music - Kugou..."

"Getting nervous when talking to boys - QianDu Knows..."

"What topics to talk about with a boyfriend - QianDu Knows..."

"What to do if a boyfriend doesn't confess - QianDu Knows..."

...

After glancing through a few, he suppressed his laughter, feeling like he was about to burst from holding it in. "How can she be this adorable?"

A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. She was slowly changing herself as well.

"But her skills are quite clever. She even considers me a boyfriend." Lu Zhou laughed.

He closed the browsing history. "I guess I'm asking for trouble. Haha."

He opened a Word document and quickly drafted a software development contract for tomorrow's transaction with the monkey.

Ding-ding-ding. The sound came from Ye Qingchen's room.

After a

while, when Lu Zhou finished writing, he noticed that Ye Qingchen was already waiting for him near the door.

She peeked her head out, looked at Lu Zhou, and asked softly, "Are you done? Dinner is ready."

Lu Zhou felt like he had been poisoned.

Well, his system had already crashed, and even restarting wouldn't help.

He stood up, smiling, and said, "Alright, have you been waiting for long?"

While speaking, he held Ye Qingchen's hand and walked to the dining room.
