Villain: Starting by Suppressing the Protagonist and Stealing the Campus Belle

Lin Xiaowan's heart skipped a beat.

She felt a mix of nervousness and excitement, a contradictory feeling.

"We're friends!!!"

"Friends are good, friends are good. Your dad has many friends too, people in business, officials, ordinary citizens, lots and lots of friends."

"Mhm~!" Lin Xiaowan looked at Lin Guoqiang, not understanding.

Lin Guoqiang looked at Lin Xiaowan's anxious expression and felt very angry. But seeing his daughter's pitiful state, his heart was about to break, and he didn't want to say many of the things he had planned to.

The thought that his daughter had become like this because of a boy made him even angrier.

But what could his anger do? Could he scold his daughter? He couldn't do something like that.

To become the mayor, he had already owed Lin Xiaowan too much.

Lin Guoqiang waved his hand. "Go wash up and get ready for dinner. Introduce your friends to me when you have the chance."

"Uh... okay, Dad."

As Lin Xiaowan walked briskly towards the bathroom, she thought that if it were Su Lin, he might actually be able to handle her dad.

Xiao Wan is amazing! [Seeking flowers and votes]

Returning home, Su Lin immediately summoned the system, ready to draw.

"System, I want to draw!"

[Host, you can draw by thinking it silently.]

"Draw."

[Wow~! Golden Legendary! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill - State Banquet Culinary Skill.]

[Wow~! Golden Legendary! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill - God-Tier Driving Skills.]

With two more skills in hand, Su Lin was quite happy. "System, your drop rate for gold is much higher than Tencent's."

System: "..."

"It's a shame, though. A chef who can drive is a bit redundant for me. Why would a young master like me cook for myself? Driving is even less likely, I have Uncle Liu for that. When are we going to get something substantial?"

System: "..."

Su Lin knew that the system wouldn't respond to these complaints, so he could only look forward to the next draw.

After feeling out his new skills, Su Lin found them uninteresting. He sent safety messages to the two girls and then began preparing for his first supermarket.

A new week arrived, and everyone noticed that Ye Feng, the recent hot topic in class, had not come.

Suddenly, discussions erupted, and all sorts of rumors started to surface.

Some said Ye Feng got into a fight with thugs outside of school and ended up in the hospital.

Others said Ye Feng had dropped out of school.

Even more extreme rumors claimed Ye Feng had committed a crime and was now in jail.

At Ye Feng's home.

Ye Weimin looked at Ye Feng, who was diligently reading a book, and nodded with satisfaction. "Xiao Feng, I've requested three days of leave for you. You'll stay home and study hard for these three days. After three days, when you can get out of bed, you'll get your butt back to school."

"Got it, Dad~!"

"No more ideas about starting a business, understand? You can start a business after you graduate from university. Once you graduate, you can do whatever you want, and I won't interfere. But for now, you need to study hard and get into a good university. That's more important than anything."

Ye Feng remained silent.

Despite his strong unwillingness, he could only placate Ye Weimin for now.

He would have to postpone his entrepreneurial plans until summer vacation or university.

Ye Feng looked at the book in front of him and felt a headache coming on again.

He found that ever since he noticed his memory declining that day, it hadn't gotten any better.

Memorizing texts was no longer as easy as before; he had to read an article many times to memorize it.

What shocked him even more was that the knowledge he had previously memorized through his super memory would gradually be forgotten if he didn't reinforce it.

To get into a good university, Ye Feng had to dedicate more time to his studies.

"Sigh~! This is fine too. I'll focus on getting good grades first. If I can surpass Su Lin, I'm sure my parents won't bother me with what I want to do during the summer vacation."

He currently had neither freedom nor money.

In Class 1 of Senior High at Jiangning No. 1 High School, Wang Yi walked into the classroom holding a math book. "Settle down."

"Lin Xiaowan, please mark Ye Feng as absent when you record attendance."

Lin Xiaowan nodded. "Okay, Teacher Wang."

"I'll take this opportunity to mention something. While you're all reviewing at home, pay attention to your health. Don't be like Ye Feng, burning the candle at both ends day and night. If you get sick, you'll only lose more."

Su Lin almost burst out laughing at Wang Yi's words.

He could guess why Ye Feng wasn't at school without anyone telling him.

Given the 80,000 yuan issue, Ye Feng's parents wouldn't even give him a beating with a belt.

He was probably lying at home right now.

"March has passed, and we're about to enter April. Students, at most, you have a little over two months left to review. Don't think two months is a long time; it'll pass quickly. You'll be facing the college entrance exams then."

"Some students are ready, but some, I see, are still muddle-headed and need to work harder."

"On this point, I suggest everyone learn more from Ye Feng..."

After some usual platitudes, Wang Yi began his formal lecture.

After class, Su Lin, Chen Yang, Xia Shiyu, and Lin Xiaowan officially got together.

Chen Yang no longer cared what the other students in the class thought, as his entrepreneurial venture had officially launched.

The students in the class didn't understand when Chen Yang had become so close to Su Lin and the others, but they weren't familiar enough with Su Lin to approach and listen.

After Su Lin formally introduced the other three, he looked at Chen Yang and said, "Yangzi, I'll be officially registering a company soon. Once that's done, all your expenses will be handled through the company's accounts. If you have any questions, just ask Xiao Yu directly."

Chen Yang knew the relationship between Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin.

Although the three of them hadn't reached that point yet, Chen Yang knew that with Su Lin's methods, it was only a matter of time.

So, he kept his posture very low and nodded, saying, "Brother Lin, I know what to do."

"Alright. Once Xiao Wan officially finalizes the deal, we'll need to start construction. Yangzi, you'll be preparing for the college entrance exams and the supermarket's opening. Can you handle it all?"

"Although there's some pressure, it's not to the point where I can't handle it."

"That's good. If you face any difficulties, make sure to tell me in advance. Don't wait until it's a crisis. I won't be lenient then."

"Don't worry, Brother Lin. I'll make sure to do a good job with anything you assign me."

Su Lin nodded with satisfaction.

This was why he had found Chen Yang to manage the company. This guy was capable and would strictly execute his tasks.

Talent like this was hard to find.

After chatting with Chen Yang, Su Lin turned to Lin Xiaowan. "Xiao Wan, how much longer do you think it will take you to finalize things on your end?"

Lin Xiaowan held up two fingers. "Five days at most. It should be settled in five days."

"Oh? You can convince them in five days? Can you tell me how you plan to do it?" Su Lin asked, a little curious.

"You want to know?"

Su Lin found Lin Xiaowan's expression amusing.

The girl was staring intently at Su Lin, as if saying, Ask me, ask me. I'll tell you if you ask.

Su Lin, of course, wouldn't disappoint the adorable Lin Xiaowan. He played along. "Xiao Wan, I'm really curious."

"Hehe~! Actually, the method is very simple. You just need to find out their advantages and disadvantages and then tailor your approach accordingly."

"For example?"

"For example, they're using water from their own well and not tap water. The city regulations last year prohibited digging wells. Also, they have two sons who are both at marriageable age. Buying property in Zhongjiang isn't extremely expensive, but it's not cheap either."

"They can't possibly use one building as a marital home for both sons. So, selling it and buying new houses would be the best outcome."

"Also, the location of their building isn't great. It's between Zhongjiang Avenue and Xingfu Avenue. If it were for business, it would be a prime location, but as a residence, it's so noisy every day, especially at night, with dump trucks and cement trucks. And there's more..."

Su Lin was stunned hearing Lin Xiaowan list so many issues.

That location could be considered one of the best in Jiangning District, but in Lin Xiaowan's words, it sounded worthless. Su Lin felt that if it were him, he'd want to sell it immediately.

"Xiao Wan, hearing you say that makes it sound like living there is a terrible crime," Xia Shiyu said, shivering slightly.

"Hehe, that's the effect I'm going for. Xiao Yu, if it were you, would you move?"

Xia Shiyu nodded vigorously. "If it were me, I definitely would."

Su Lin gave Lin Xiaowan a thumbs-up. "Xiao Wan, that's amazing."
