A complete lackey

“Everyone disperse, my girlfriend isn't taking photos!”

Embracing Miao Xiaoyu, He Li looked around and spoke.

His tone was very direct, causing Miao Xiaoyu to blush deeply.

Admitting their relationship in front of so many people... this made her heart pound incessantly.

The people around them, who had been stunned by Miao Xiaoyu's beauty, snapped back to reality upon hearing him speak. They had originally wanted to retort, but upon seeing the tall, well-built, and extremely handsome He Li, they immediately became speechless.

Handsome man and beautiful woman—a match made in heaven!

What could they say? They could only feel envy.

Having no other choice, the surrounding crowd sighed and dispersed, filled with regret.

The people who remained were either interested in the game He Li and his team created and were trying it out, or they were the girl named Yu Han, who had previously misunderstood He Li, and her friend.

He Li had no good feelings toward these two people.

Seeing that they still hadn't left, He Li wore a playful expression... "Madam, I have a girlfriend, so I really wasn't trying to hit on you."

“Before, I was just trying to ask where Miss Wei Wei was.”

“Look, my girlfriend is right here!”

“You believe me now, right? I truly wasn't interested in you.”

“And this Eyeglasses Girl was also overthinking things...”

He spoke, his tone seeming quite sincere.

However, hearing these words made Yu Han and Eyeglasses Girl feel incredibly awkward and stung, and they even had the delusion that He Li was deliberately aiming to wound their pride.

Although there was no proof, the feeling couldn't be wrong.

Yu Han had no way to refute him even if she wanted to.

She could only grit her teeth and force an awkward smile: “Haha, then perhaps it really was just a misunderstanding!”

Having said that, she suppressed her resentment and turned to leave immediately.

“Hmph, a repulsive man is just a repulsive man!”

“So what if it was a misunderstanding? I'm a girl, you know!”

“Couldn't you have just saved me some face and let it go?”

“And you deliberately stated it, what was the meaning of that?”

“Did you want to humiliate me? What a disgusting guy, he deserves to just be a poor, useless Programmer!”

In Yu Han's eyes, no matter what, the plainly dressed He Li couldn't possibly be an influential Second-generation rich; he was most likely just a Programmer who painstakingly created and sold his own game.

Thinking this, she relaxed somewhat.

“Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with such a low-class person!”

“After all, I am a woman destined to marry into a Wealthy Family.”

“As for his girlfriend, tsk tsk, her taste is really poor.”

“If she were focused on marrying into a Wealthy Family like me...”

“Then her chances of success would definitely be higher based on her looks. Instead, she willingly degraded herself by becoming that low-class person's girlfriend. Isn't she just throwing away the great future she should have had?”

The more Yu Han thought about it, the stronger the contempt and smugness grew in her heart.

“When I climb the social ladder and marry into a Wealthy Family, if I happen to run into this foolish couple again...”

“Then I'll have to properly mock them!”

After muttering a few words to herself, she turned back to her good friend wearing glasses next to her and asked, “Oh right, A Lan, are you absolutely sure Young Master Zhou will be coming to this game exhibition today?”

Eyeglasses Girl rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

“When have I, Song Lan, ever lied to you?”

“My Older Female Cousin, who runs in high society circles, told me this.”

“I heard Young Master Zhou seems to be coming here to meet someone.”

“That person probably has a powerful background too!”

“Anyway, never mind anyone else. We just need to wait for Young Master Zhou to arrive, and then you seize the opportunity!” Song Lan said confidently. Yu Han nodded upon hearing this but did not relax.

Instead, she said nervously, “Someone like Young Master Zhou is definitely surrounded by beautiful women all year round!”

“A Lan, tell me... can I really pull this off?”

Song Lan was speechless seeing her nervous state.

“Zhang Yuhan, why are you doubting yourself now?”

“Don't forget, you are the School Beauty of Third High School!”

“The people chasing you at school line up in long queues. Are you really so unconfident that Young Master Zhou won't notice you? You need to bring out the confidence you showed earlier toward that repulsive man!”

As Song Lan spoke, Zhang Yuhan patted her chest, took a few deep breaths, and regained her confidence.

“Alright then, wish me luck!”

“When I marry into a Wealthy Family, I definitely won't forget you.”

“Hehe, then I'll be counting on you...”

...At nine o'clock, the Anime and Game Exhibition officially began.

A large number of game and anime enthusiasts poured in.

Aside from those who went to see the cosplayers, most people gathered at the game venue to try out various games, and many people gradually came to He Li's area to try their game as well.

Furthermore, because the game plants vs. zombies was quite addictive, more and more people gathered to try it out.

The equipment prepared for them by the venue... was simply not enough. He Li had no choice but to call the organizers again to request more equipment, but unfortunately, it still wasn't enough. However, the organizers had limited equipment available, so there was nothing they could do.

As He Li watched the dense crowd of players trying out his game and fiercely discussing how to successfully clear the stages... he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Currently, everything seemed to be developing in a positive direction.

Following this trend, his game's reputation would quickly spread throughout this community.

Once the official version of the game launches at the end of the month... a massive amount of traffic will flood in!

At that time, he could officially start raking in the money... Meanwhile, at the entrance of the game exhibition venue... “It is truly our honor that Young Master Zhou could attend!”

At the venue entrance, several heads of the organizing committee looked at Zhou Qingming, who had just stepped out of the car, and spoke with beaming smiles. The latter simply nodded, “Alright, I just came to take a look, don't worry about me.”

With that, he quickly walked into the venue.

Several of his lackeys immediately followed him.

The organizers exchanged glances. After a moment, they slowly trailed behind him, mainly because Zhou Qingming's background was too influential, and they worried he might cause trouble here.

Fortunately, Zhou Qingming had subordinates. Without him needing to say anything, his subordinates proactively cleared the way and solved problems for him.

However, Zhou Qingming's high-profile arrival naturally attracted the attention of countless people in the venue.

Many people even recognized this crown prince of Ye City!

“That guy... isn't that Zhou Qingming, Young Master Zhou?”

“This Young Master actually came to the game exhibition too?”

“Unbelievable, this Young Master is interested in games now?”

“Hmph, what the hell does this kind of profligate Second-generation rich know about games...”

“Shh, are you crazy? If he hears that, your family will be homeless tomorrow!”

“Tsk tsk, what do you think he came here for?”

“I heard Young Master Zhou seems to be here looking for someone.”

“Who is so impressive that Young Master Zhou has to come look for them personally?”

...The venue was abuzz with discussion. Not far away, Zhang Yuhan and Song Lan also saw Zhou Qingming quickly walking toward He Li's booth, but at this moment, neither of them believed Zhou Qingming was looking for He Li.

In their eyes, He Li was just a poor and powerless Programmer—why would Zhou Qingming personally come looking for him?

More than that, they were currently focused on how to latch onto Zhou Qingming.

To achieve this goal, Zhang Yuhan was going all out.

She quickly took off her jacket, revealing a "special" tight-fitting outfit underneath that showcased her beautiful figure. This outfit outlined her perfect curves, instantly drawing countless gazes.

Zhang Yuhan felt those gazes and, with increasing confidence and composure, deliberately positioned herself not far from Zhou Qingming, hoping to catch his eye or be approached by him.

However, just as Zhang Yuhan was vigorously trying to draw attention to herself... Zhou Qingming couldn't even be bothered to look at her.

He walked straight to He Li's booth, and the arrogant expression on his face instantly transformed into a flattering, lapdog-like smile as he hurried to greet them: “Brother and Sister-in-law are at the game exhibition too? Do you need my help?”

“Brother, just say the word, and I promise to work hard!”

“Oh right, Brother, are you thirsty? Your Little Brother will go buy you some water?”

“Brother, look, you're sweating from exhaustion, let me wipe it for you!”

“Go, go, go! Don't touch me!” Watching Zhou Qingming pull out a tissue and intimately try to wipe his sweat, He Li's face was full of disgust, and he got goosebumps, barely stopping himself from kicking him away.

Zhou Qingming was rebuffed but not at all angry. Instead, he approached them with a cheeky grin, offering all sorts of solicitous greetings.

This absurd situation completely stunned everyone in the venue... Was this really the arrogant, peerless Young Master Zhou?

He was clearly acting like a total lackey!

Everyone was unable to understand what was happening!

And Zhang Yuhan was completely dumbfounded on the spot...
