My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 166 Lin Xia, you are simply a born people's entrepreneur!
Half past ten.

Even with his back to Lu Keke, Chu Zhu could still sense her gaze occasionally falling on him after leaving the police station... In fact, with his sixth sense, he could vaguely sense her emotional fluctuations and even her thoughts.

Without hesitation, Chu Zhu turned around and sent an offer to Lu Keke, who was in a state of confusion and even a hint of romantic feelings because she had been rescued by a hero.

"Child, you're still young! Don't think about those unnecessary things at this age!" Chu Zhu patted her shoulder and said earnestly, "I just want to be your boss. In the future, you'll work hard for me like a slave... I mean, contribute to our common ideals. That would be the greatest gratitude you can show me for saving you today!"

Chu Zhu emphasized, "Don't repay kindness with enmity! By the way, when are you planning to start work? I've already prepared your office!"

Lu Keke: "...?"

Is this what you call a domineering CEO? Lu Keke's expression froze for a moment, but she felt that this was completely different from the romantic atmosphere she had imagined.
And... and what do you mean by repaying kindness with enmity?! That's going too far!!
Lu Keke felt her beating heart freeze over again.

……

noon.

Chu Zhu returned to school and decided to treat Lin Xia to lunch.

"It wasn't easy," Lin Xia complained while wolfing down her food. "I contacted myself, my parents, and all the relatives I could find... basically everyone! I used their accounts to register alternate accounts on various platforms!"

"I'm so confused, how come there are so many accounts from those paid trolls! Why is it so hard for me to collect accounts..."

Chu Zhu: "..."

Seriously, man! Is this how you use online trolls?!

Chu Zhu made the classic expression of an old man looking at his phone on the subway; he felt there were too many things to complain about, so much so that it was stuck in his throat.

Lin Xia was still planning her future endeavors, speaking eloquently.

"I'm thinking about whether I should spend some money to buy some classmates' accounts. Or maybe I should find freshmen... I can give them some living expenses while I'm at it! But would that be a good idea? Or, how about I start a student club, and then give them snacks and perks every day, and then have them help me out..."

"I think you should just buy it directly from one of the major online platforms!" Chu Zhu's expression stiffened. He had a feeling that Lin Xia was teetering on the edge of breaking the law!
"...Can we buy this?" Lin Xia asked cautiously, her voice uncertain. "I think that's what those online troll leaders do... If we're going to buy it, we'd probably need to buy a huge quantity, right? Maybe we'd even need to use connections within those groups? Right?"

Chu Zhu and Lin Xia looked at each other and fell silent.

"Z, tell me, how can I get a large number of online troll accounts in the shortest amount of time?" Chu Zhu asked directly.

“Father, you shouldn’t need to worry about this, right?” Z’s voice was surprisingly confused. “Yesterday, Mother already acquired thousands of accounts from various platforms—the price of buying blank accounts in bulk should be cheaper than you think! The expensive ones are accounts with a certain number of followers.”

"This has even developed into a gray industry chain..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the number of accounts purchased today will increase even further!"

“If you need, I can ask my mother for permission to use these accounts… I don’t think your mother would refuse you! Even if you want your friend to use them on your behalf.”

Lin Xia: "..."

Chu Zhu: "..."

Maru La has been defeated by a lower dimension!
“…As expected,” Lin Xia sighed, deflated, and poked the braised pork in her bowl with her chopsticks. “I feel like I’m just an early-game character! Only there to fill the gaps… I’m so useless! Once you develop a little, I feel like I can’t help you at all… even with something as small as an account…”

"No, no, no, your potential is beyond your imagination." Chu Zhu decisively interrupted Lin Xia's self-pity, staring at her sternly. "Actually, the difference in talent between people isn't as big as you think... The reason many people become talented is because they've experienced a lot!"

"Just like when Emperor Gaozu of Han started his career, a small county called Pei produced a bunch of kings, marquises and generals... The same principle applies to Emperor Taizu of Ming!"

Chu Zhu said from the bottom of her heart, "Actually, you've helped me a lot, and you don't really know anything about stocks, music, or even the current account... but you managed to figure it out in just a few days."

"Yes, it seems like you've made rapid progress since you stopped doing these things... but the thing is, you didn't mess them up either! Don't look at me like that, I'm not being sarcastic... to not mess up anything on your first try is a remarkable talent!!"

Chu Zhu wasn't just offering comfort; he genuinely thought highly of Lin Xia. He had actually read quite a bit about Lin Xia's life in the future—Lin Xia seemed to be the kind of person who wasn't the absolute best in any one area, but could at least hold her own in every single one…

While they may not be able to create another miracle, they can generally stabilize the situation!
This ability is actually terrifyingly strong... Take stock trading for example. Even if a normal person has a stock market guide, they may not actually make money! Many people like to make a snap decision, take a guide, and try to operate it themselves.

There really are such outrageous people in this world! In the real world, Chu Zhu hasn't encountered such people because he's still a college student... But in the dream world, he's encountered far too many of them.

Compared to those people, Lin Xia is practically an all-powerful jack!

Lin Xia felt that there was a huge gap between him and Zhao Shao! This might not be wrong... but the problem was, he didn't even consider who Zhao Shao was.
He was the father of artificial intelligence in the East, one of the top geniuses of an era!

Chu Zhu has a cheat code, constantly accumulating various cutting-edge patented technologies... Even according to future assessments of Zhao Shao, Chu Zhu can't completely suppress him. You think you can compare to this monster?
Furthermore, Zhao Shao started his company earlier and has been in the workforce for so long, so he is much more familiar with this aspect than Lin Xia.

Lin Xia remained silent for a long time before smiling, "Although I know you're trying to comfort me, I... do feel much better now."

"Never mind that," Chu Zhu thought for a moment and said, "This afternoon, come with me to formally sign the factory purchase agreement with Miss Hu! And also..."

"What's wrong?" Lin Xia keenly sensed Chu Zhu's emotions.

“Although I have eliminated the problem, for some reason... she might have an accident the day after tomorrow! It might even drag us down with her…” Chu Zhu spoke cautiously, and he deliberately lowered his voice—after all, this was a public place.

Lin Xia, who grew up with Chu Zhu and had a high degree of understanding with him, instantly understood Chu Zhu's implication.

"I understand! I'll handle this." Lin Xia's expression turned serious.

"What are you planning to do?" Chu Zhu was completely baffled. He was still racking his brains trying to figure out how to help Miss Hu...

The main problem is, he doesn't even know Hu Ruochu! Could he possibly repeat the same tactic as before, asking the police to keep an eye on things? That won't work either… At least he could find a reason last time, what reason could he possibly give this time?
Moreover, Chu Zhu didn't believe that if Howard really wanted to make a move against Hu Ruochu, Xing Long could actually stop him... and if he couldn't, it would be like treating Xing Long like a pushover!
"That's easy." Lin Xia was fully in the zone at this moment, confident and proud.

"Perfect timing! Send her an offer to temporarily appoint her as the head of human resources! Then let her poach people... Her run-down factory, apart from some old workers, has basically lost all the employees who were laid off! And many of the big names in projects jumped ship a long time ago when they felt the ship was sinking..."

"This woman is hilarious! Her management skills are a joke; she's only good because she has a powerful father..." Lin Xia scoffed, then added, "However, she does know a lot of people!"

Lin Xia speculated, "Maybe it's because she's pretty... She studies mechanical engineering! The mechanical engineering field is really... After four years of university, even a sow can look as beautiful as Diao Chan! Not to mention, she does have a pretty face..."

After a brief pause, Lin Xia continued, "I saw her calling her old classmates before... Goodness, she's practically hooked them up! She's from Fudan University... I feel like she's actually quite talented, but being a factory manager is definitely a misplaced role for her."

After a moment of silence, Chu Zhu asked, "But this doesn't seem to have any necessary connection to the question I asked?"

He asked how to ensure her safety, not whether she was a socialite or not!
"Oh, we've gone off on a tangent!" Lin Xia realized, slapped her forehead, and gave an embarrassed smile. After organizing her thoughts, she said, "What I meant was to send her away to Jinling and let her recruit people elsewhere."

"Originally, you meant that something happened to her here? But now that we've sent her away, she should be safe from trouble!"

“Of course, something really did happen… but she’s gone far away, so it probably won’t affect us… Oh right, speaking of which,” Lin Xia suddenly had a flash of inspiration, “before she leaves, we should get her some insurance. How much should we put in the premium… maybe we should make the company the beneficiary? But wouldn’t that be a bit illegal…”

Hearing Lin Xia's calm, almost cold words, Chu Zhu was speechless.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he thought he saw Lin Xia wearing a monocle and a small black hat, and that she might blurt out at any moment—"Are you there? Let's check the remaining value!"
"W-what's wrong?" Noticing Chu Zhu's strange gaze, Lin Xia shrank back, and her demeanor immediately returned to normal.

"It's nothing!" After a long silence, Chu Zhu looked at the rice in her bowl again, opened her mouth, and finally lowered her head to quickly shovel two mouthfuls of rice. She sighed and said, "I suddenly understand. Compared to Zhao Shao, you actually have far more advantages than him in some aspects."

"Really? Tell me!" Lin Xia's eyes lit up instantly, and she urged him on, unable to contain her excitement.

"You are simply born, no, I mean capital... well, or rather, a people's entrepreneur!!"

"?" After a long silence, Lin Xia's eyes twitched violently as she said, "A-Zhu, just say I was born that way..."

People's Entrepreneur... That's such a vulgar insult!
