One person: I wanted to give up, but my abilities wouldn't allow it.

"Not now."

Lin Chen's unusual behavior today made Xiao Zizai frown unconsciously.

Boss, something's off today, really off!

For some reason, he suddenly felt a bit of dislike for the woman who was about to come to his door.

If anyone's coming, it should be Gao Erzhuang. What's the point of this woman coming?

Xiao Zizai (has already made a decision, the woman will be here soon).

He would never give her a kind look.

If she's sensible enough to sit still and eat quietly.

He didn't make things difficult for her out of respect for his boss.

If she doesn't know what's good for her, then she shouldn't blame you for being rude.

Feng Baobao was completely oblivious to the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the room.

She licked her lips, glancing at the dishes on the table and then at the door, seemingly complaining about why that person hadn't arrived yet.

Disturbing her meal!

Chen Duo was very clever and keenly sensed the displeasure of the crowd.

And Lin Chen's unusual attitude.

But she didn't say anything, just sat quietly and waited.

Like a well-behaved Barbie doll.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Suddenly, a knocking sound broke the silence.

The sound was very soft; it stopped after two taps, as if the tapping was done cautiously.

Lin Chen revealed a gentle smile: "You're here!"

Seeing that no one was getting up or showing any intention of opening the door.

He went over and opened the door.

The girl behind the door was very pretty, with big eyes, a small nose, and rosy lips.

Her skin was snow-white, but it had a sickly whiteness, as if she had never seen the sun.

She bit her lip lightly, her small hands unconsciously gripping the hem of her skirt, looking rather nervous.

"coming!"

Lin Chen gave a warm smile.

A familiar voice, and that familiar smile.

This calmed Gao Erzhuang's tense and uneasy mood a little.

"Ok!"

"Come in, everyone's been waiting for you!"

This remark made Qiu'er next to him roll her eyes.

Who the hell is waiting for you? Who wants to wait for you?

The others, as if by unspoken agreement, all rolled their eyes.

They weren't targeting Gao Erzhuang, who was standing outside our door.

Rather, they felt it was inappropriate for Lin Chen to invite her to this occasion.

To be precise, they were targeting Lin Chen.

However, due to his position as the boss, he dared not show it.

Gao Erzhuang looked nervously through Lin Chen at the people in the private room.

She recognized everyone in the private room, as they had all sent her photos.

Although these people were slightly different from what she had imagined, they were generally similar.

She slowly walked into the private room, trying to force a friendly smile.

He greeted everyone, his voice trembling.

Her current image is completely different from the carefree and outspoken girl she is online.

He assumed that Lin Chen had already informed everyone of her arrival, so he didn't introduce himself.

Gao Erzhuang's lips trembled; he looked very excited.

"I never thought I'd get to see you all in my lifetime, I'm so happy!"

"None of you have any idea how long I've been dreaming of this situation?"

After briefly expressing his excitement.

Gao Erzhuang looked at the uniquely dressed Qiu'er and greeted him:

"You must be Qiu'er! Your outfit is really unique! You have the air of a fashionista!"

"haha, really?"

Qiu gave a perfunctory reply and then fell silent.

Gao Erzhuang was stunned for a moment.

She hadn't expected Qiu'er to be so cold towards her.

Gao Erzhuang thought he might have misanalyzed the situation; this ball should have been a cold foul.

Therefore, his current attitude is normal.

Gao Erzhuang then looked at Xiao Zizai.

She remembered that Brother Xiao was a very warm-hearted older brother.

If I greet him, he shouldn't be as cold as Qiu'er, right?

"Brother Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you. You seem like a true gentleman!"

Xiao Zizai adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

A little surprised.

I wonder if this sickly little girl will recognize me.

“Brother Xiao, not just anyone can call me that. Please call me Xiao Zizai! And also…”

Xiao Zizai slowly rolled up his sleeves and said coldly:

"I'm not a gentleman, not at all. I'm a pervert. My favorite thing to do is kill people."

This is completely different from Gao Erzhuang's understanding.

She twitched the corners of her mouth.

This is the first time I've realized how foolish it is to judge a person's character based on a single photograph.

Gao Erzhuang smiled awkwardly, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.

I was thinking, I used to call you Brother Xiao in the group chat, and you never objected!

Why are you acting like this now that we've met?

Xiao Zizai looked at the grievance in the little girl's eyes and curled the corners of his lips.

You dare call me Brother Xiao? Do you deserve it?

Only my comrades who have fought alongside me can call me that.

Lin Chen suppressed a laugh as he looked at Xiao Zizai and Qiu'er's indifferent attitude.

The more indifferent you are now, the more enthusiastic you will likely be later.

If you make that little girl cry, well, you'll be in for it.

Gao Erzhuang then looked at Hei Guan'er, a man with a cold and hard demeanor and a rugged appearance.

"Brother Hei, I'm so happy to finally meet you!"

Hei Guan snorted coldly and turned his head away.

It means I'm not happy, not happy at all.

This made Gao Erzhuang very embarrassed.

After being met with three cold faces in a row, even if Gao Erzhang was stupid, he would understand that these people did not like him.

But why?

Although I am physically disabled and unable to fight alongside them.

But I did my best to help them gather intelligence.

Although the roles were different, she did put in a lot of effort.

She's not someone who just eats rice without working!

Gao Erzhuang's smile grew increasingly hard, and his heart filled with growing resentment.

But she still forced a smile and greeted everyone.

At worst, she'd skip the meal and go home.

Gao Erzhuang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Then he looked at the only elderly man present, Old Meng.

She forced a smile, her voice clear and melodious:

"You must be Uncle Meng. I can call you Old Meng along with everyone else!"

Old Meng looked at the attitude of the crowd before him, and then at the young girl in front of him, who, though pale, was bright and charming.

I couldn't bear to be cold to her.

He knew why everyone disliked this little girl so much.

Actually, Lao Meng felt that this had nothing to do with the young girl; it was all Lin Chen's fault.

If Lin Chen hadn't let the young lady come, would she have insisted on coming?

But in order to fit in, Lao Meng couldn't show too much enthusiasm for the young girl.

So he gave a curt reply.

This made Gao Erzhuang, who was prepared to face ridicule, breathe a slight sigh of relief.

The old man in front of me is not bad.

At least, their attitude was much better than the previous few people.

This helped Gao Erzhuang regain some of the confidence he had lost.

At the same time, the intention to befriend them was also gone.

If you can pay, then pay; if you can't, then that's it.

You don't want to talk to me, but I'm willing to talk to you?

A genius who can fight his way in and out of the online world won't keep trying to win someone's favor.

I have my pride too!

Gao Erzhuang understood this point, and his previously timid demeanor suddenly changed. He smiled and looked at Zhang Chulan:

"So you don't want Biyou Zhang Chulan, do you? Your name is truly legendary!"

Zhang Chulan paused just as he was about to step forward to greet them, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

You're so enthusiastic towards others, why do you become shameless when it comes to me?

"Hehe... Actually, you misunderstand me. That's not my true self."
