Chapter 105: The Counterattack Begins, a Bold Publicity Offensive

"Speak! Is this Chen Luo my sister's boyfriend?"

"How could my sister possibly have a boyfriend?"

"Which young scion has the nerve to come bothering my sister? I'll chop off his hands!"

Ye Linqian felt as though she were about to lose her mind.

As a die-hard sister devotee, she could accept almost anything except the idea of her elder sister getting married.

Any time someone in the family brought up Ye Linna's marriage, Ye Linqian would go berserk without fail. It did not matter whether the person was of her own generation or an elder; she would fly into a rage and start swinging.

Over the years, no fewer than ten members of the Ye family had been beaten by Ye Linqian into landing in the hospital.

Even now, no matter how many times the head of the Ye family, their father, had scolded and punished her, she had never changed.

The reason was simple enough. When they were little, their parents had been terribly busy, and Ye Linqian had practically been raised by Ye Linna alone.

In her heart, Ye Linna was not merely an elder sister, but almost a second mother.

And now some blond-haired punk had the audacity to go after her sister? If she did not beat him until he could not stand straight for the rest of his life, it would be an insult to her own courage.

"Talk! Have you all gone mute? Who exactly is Chen Luo?"

The assistants exchanged glances. In the end, one of them spoke up.

"Well, Second Miss, Chen Luo is a university student at Hangzhou University."

"A university student? Is my sister planning to keep some innocent college boy on the side or something?"

Ye Linqian found it rather strange. Admittedly, in the capital there were many young ladies from prominent families who had kept innocent college boys around for their amusement, but that was not her sister's style.

Could it be that after all these years of running a business, she was exhausted and wanted to indulge herself a little?

"No, Chen Luo isn't being kept by President Ye."

"What? So this university student actually dared to pursue my sister, and even succeeded?"

Ye Linqian cut the assistant off again, her fists clenched, her face taking on a murderous look.

"No!"

The assistant, interrupted twice in a row, was almost out of breath from frustration.

If not for the fact that this was the family's second young lady and that she was terrifyingly strong, the assistant might have slapped her already.

Could this girl at least let someone finish a sentence?

"What do you mean, no? Then hurry up and say it!"

The assistant drew a deep breath, then rapidly explained everything about Chen Luo.

"Chen Luo is the current boyfriend of Wen Wan, the sixth young lady of the Wen family."

"At present, he is only friends with the eldest miss and has merely met her a few times."

"However, the eldest miss seems to think highly of this university student and has taken an interest in his project. That's all!"

Huffing and puffing, the assistant felt as though she had nearly run out of air.

At last she had finished. Being interrupted like that was truly unbearable.

After hearing all of this, Ye Linqian stared blankly.

"Wen Wan's boyfriend? That crazy woman actually has a man?"

Ye Linqian knew full well just how fierce Wen Wan was. Among the younger generation in the capital, anyone who opposed her had been trampled under by her madness.

Though the Ye family and the Wen family had always kept to their own lanes, they were still in the same circle. Crossing paths sooner or later was hardly strange.

What Ye Linqian had not expected was that Wen Wan, who never spared a glance for any gifted young man in the capital, had actually found herself a boyfriend in Hangzhou. That was certainly novel.

Still, judging from the intensity with which her own sister had called Chen Luo's name in the room just now, even Ye Linqian, who had never been in love herself, could sense a very different current of feeling beneath it.

Could it be that her sister really liked this university student?

Was the capital about to witness a battle between two peerless women over a husband-to-be in Hangzhou?

"No. Someone get in here! Find me every scrap of information on Chen Luo. And bring someone to take me to see him."

"I want to see what kind of male temptress could possibly have bewitched my sister!"

"If he has any ill intentions toward my sister, I'll beat him until he never dares think about women again for the rest of his life!"

With that, Ye Linqian grabbed an assistant and strode out the door.

The assistant turned back to plead for help from her coworkers, but everyone else merely turned away with sympathy.

Sorry. We're afraid of getting beaten too. You're on your own.

Don't worry, we'll call an ambulance for you right away.

...

In the city center, at Zhou Mei's studio.

"Everyone, do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Luo looked intently at the people seated before him.

Zhou Zheng, Zhou Mei, Hong Ye, Liu Hua, and even Mo Ye all stared at Chen Luo in a daze.

"Everyone, say something."

Chen Luo smiled and looked at Zhou Zheng. "Senior, you speak first."

"No, junior, there's too much information in what you just said. I haven't even digested it yet."

"First, our enemy is the Ye family from the capital, and the person steering the ship is the Ye family's eldest miss, the woman known as the Empress of the Business Sea in the capital."

"Second, they're planning to bundle their promotion with ours once we go live, and eventually trample over our corpses to seize the entire delivery market."

"Third, you're telling me we don't need to care about their moves and should just keep promoting as usual?"

Zhou Zheng felt as if his brain were about to short-circuit.

He had always prided himself on keeping up with Chen Luo's thought process at the fastest possible speed, and if he could not, he could at least fill in the gaps himself.

But today's problem, he truly could not solve.

When they were clearly facing such a huge crisis, why was Chen Luo still treating it all as if it were nothing? Was he really so afraid of the Ye family's power that he planned to sit and wait for death, or was he counting on Miss Wen to come rescue them?

Zhou Mei frowned. Now that she knew they were going head-to-head with Ye Linna, she felt genuinely uncomfortable.

Objectively speaking, the Zhou family was Chen Luo's partner, and Chen Luo had also helped her with the game. She should be standing on Chen Luo's side.

But Ye Linna and her relationship was far from shallow. Ye Linna had even called her her good friend to her face.

Honestly, Zhou Mei did not have many friends, and Ye Linna was one of the more special ones.

Now that she had to turn against her good friend, an inexplicable irritation rose in her chest.

"Chen Luo, I don't want to hear you beat around the bush. Just say it plainly: what do you need us to do?"

"I don't need the reason. I just need to follow your decision blindly and carry it out."

Chen Luo clapped and laughed. "Senior, any boss would be delighted to have an employee like you."

Then he raised one finger and swept his gaze over everyone present.

"There is only one thing we need to do."

"That is to promote Ye Linna's delivery app on a grand scale, forcing them to come out into the open and show themselves clearly!"

"Everyone! Sound the horn of counterattack!"

"From this moment on, activate every promotional channel you have!"
