Chapter 112 - Chapter 112: Chapter 110: Sudden Incident! (Please Subscribe) (2/2)
First things first, let’s get to work.
Little Landlady invested so much in the 720 Network Security Company, there’s no way I can let her lose money, right?
Lin Chuan slowly calmed his emotions and sat at his office desk, turned on the computer, and began to work on the anti-fraud app development.
As for Little Landlady, being the CFO, HR director, and concurrently the Chairman’s secretary, the company didn’t have many staff or projects to manage at the moment, so she had some free time on her hands.
Little Landlady, suppressing a smile, looked at Lin Chuan and thought to herself, with this attitude, the Chairman should be quite pleased, right?
These days, not only had she been working on company affairs, but she had also been learning how to win a boy’s heart.
After browsing through several strategies, she concluded with: 4090, black stockings.
The computer was equipped with a 4090; she donned black stockings.
She had also learned how to cook.
Hmmph!
Lin Chuan, mine!
…
In recent days, after Lin Chuan took over as chairman, he had indeed become much busier.
During this time, he had interfaced with the Anling Police, Jintang, Iron Wall, and other organizations several times, and the development of the anti-fraud app was nearing completion.
Lin Chuan finally had some free time as well.
May 18th.
Little Landlady returned to school for her graduation thesis defense.
“Old Lin, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?”
In the evening, Wang Zikai called Lin Chuan.
“I haven’t, you’re doing quite well in your grades. Shouldn’t you treat me to a meal?” Lin Chuan said with a smile from his office.
“No problem, just send me your location and I’ll come pick you up!” Old Wang laughed.
“Qingxiu District, Zhongcheng Building.”
Lin Chuan sent his location.
Twenty minutes later, Old Wang arrived in Xue Qiqi’s Mercedes-Benz GLC downstairs of the company.
Lin Chuan was dressed in casual business attire, his hair neatly combed, and he wore a pair of shiny leather shoes. He walked with a breeze in his step. He then pulled open the car door and sat in the front passenger seat.
“Wow!”
Wang Zikai was instantly surprised, “Who is this handsome guy?”
Lin Chuan buckled up and laughed, “Am I handsome, buddy?”
Wang Zikai squinted his eyes, full of confusion, “Wait a minute, since when did you start going for this… this CEO style?”
“I’ve always been like this!” Lin Chuan laughed.
“You used to wear white T-shirts and casual pants, looking simple and honest. How come you suddenly became handsome? I can’t get used to it,” Wang Zikai blurted out bluntly, frowning.
“Wait a second, what do you mean suddenly?” Lin Chuan countered.
“Old Lin, you’re in love!” Wang Zikai suddenly concluded, “When a man suddenly becomes handsome, it means he’s in love. If he suddenly gets uglier, either he’s got married or he’s gone through a breakup.”
“Huh?”
Lin Chuan was taken aback, “I’ve been busy with work lately, when do I have time for love?”
“Work is work, but you’ve got to date as well. You can’t possibly spend a lifetime with the ‘Fifth Lady,’ can you?” Old Wang taunted.
“That’s true, but I have difficulty making choices, alas…” Lin Chuan sighed.
Wang Zikai turned to look at him, “Old Lin, did you actually make a choice?”
“Hahaha, just teasing you, man,” Lin Chuan laughed.
Old Wang grumbled as he drove the Mercedes-Benz GLC, arriving at a roadside kebab stall.
Old Buddies Kebab Stall.
This kebab stall was always busy, packed with customers. The owner in an apron was constantly flipping the wok, with the fire blazing as he kept busy.
The two sat down in a corner spot.
Old Wang poured a cup of monk fruit tea for Lin Chuan, “Drink some monk fruit tea to clear the heat.”
Lin Chuan took it and sipped, “Old Wang, your book ‘Inescapable’ has been skyrocketing, it shot up directly to top 20.”
Wang Zikai laughed heartily, “All minor matters, not like how you’ve firmly held the top spot, making me so envious.”
During this time.
‘All-In’ gained momentum steadily, with its reading index skyrocketing, surpassing Ming’s ‘The Years I Was Tricked into the Factory Area,’ currently ranking first.
Lin Chuan smiled, “The preliminary round rankings are just a ticket to the next round. The next round of selection is what matters most!”
“Now, the online literature community is buzzing about how you and Ming, with his ‘The Years I Was Tricked into the Factory Area,’ have devoured a major share of the anti-fraud novel traffic, dubbing you both as ‘The Two Heroes of Anti-Fraud,’” Old Wang said with a smile, his face showing envy.
He suspected that this year might just be Lin Chuan’s fated year.
Everything he wrote turned to gold!
Listening to Old Wang, Lin Chuan took a sip of water and smiled, “The Two Heroes of Anti-Fraud, can I really be considered a ‘Hero’ now?”
“Hahaha…”
Old Wang laughed out loud, “The last ‘Two Heroes’ were Handon and Hongmei. If Handon continues to fall behind, he probably needs to start drawing circles for you!”
“That’s just a coincidence, it has nothing to do with me!”
Lin Chuan hurriedly clarified.
Then, he opened the anti-fraud essay contest webpage on his phone and scrolled through the leaderboard.
Anti-fraud novel reading index leaderboard.

“Huh?”
Lin Chuan frowned.
“What’s up?” Old Wang took a sip of tea and asked.
“Ming’s book ‘The Years I Was Tricked into the Factory Area’ has disappeared,” Lin Chuan said with a half-furrowed brow, puzzled.
“What?” Old Wang was startled, “I saw it just this afternoon!”
“Take a look.”
Lin Chuan slid the phone screen towards Old Wang.
Old Wang looked down and immediately frowned, “How did it suddenly vanish?”
“Must be a bug on the webpage; I’ll refresh it.”
Lin Chuan swiped down on the page, and a little circle appeared at the top, spinning around.
After refreshing.
[1- ‘A World Without Fraud’ Handon]
[2- ‘True and False’ Tianya]
[3- ‘Starting from Being Scammed out of One Million’ Haitang]

Hmm?
Lin Chuan’s eyes widened in shock, “My book is gone too!”
