Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

"What did you say?"

The Little Landlady drove the bike, the whirring of the wind in her ears made it hard to hear Lin Chuan\'s voice clearly.

Lin Chuan raised his voice a bit and repeated, "I said, Aunt Liu gives me a very familiar feeling, with a strong suggestive and hinting quality in her words."

"Suggestive?"

The Little Landlady braked abruptly, and the little electric bike came to a sudden stop, leaning against the curb at the side of the road.

Because of the inertia from braking, Lin Chuan tightened his grip on the Little Landlady\'s hand: "Little Landlady, do your ears only pick up on keywords or what?"

The Little Landlady took off her helmet, pouted, and said, "The car was going too fast just now, there was too much background noise, and I only caught words like \'familiar,\' \'induce,\' \'hint,\' and \'suggestive.\'"

Lin Chuan also took off his helmet, smacked his forehead, and laughed, "I thought you\'d been watching fewer videos lately, but it turns out that\'s still all you think about."

"Ah?"

The Little Landlady pursed her lips slightly, looking down, a little afraid of being scolded by Lin Chuan, "I really haven\'t been watching much lately, I\'ve been busy with company stuff, and also reading your novel."

Lin Chuan looked at the Little Landlady\'s face, so close and slightly aggrieved, and smiled, "Take it easy, it\'s not good for your body."

"Okay."

The Little Landlady grinned, "Chairman, what were you saying about Aunt Liu just now?"

Lin Chuan considered for a moment before saying, "Do you remember her wanting to create a big antique market in Anling City?"

"I remember." The Little Landlady nodded.

"Then, she praised us for our wild ideas and bold entrepreneurship, for starting up a network security company," Lin Chuan continued.

"Is there a problem with that?" The Little Landlady asked, her face showing a touch of confusion.

Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then said, "If I were to maliciously speculate, when she said that, she glanced at Old Zhang—could it be possible that those words were meant for Old Zhang\'s ears?"

The Little Landlady\'s eyes widened in further confusion, "Why would she say it to Old Zhang?"

"Investment," Lin Chuan smiled.

"As in investing in her antique market?" The Little Landlady\'s brows knitted slightly as she asked.

"If the speculation is true, then it\'s very possible," Lin Chuan paused, then added, "And, she seems to be leading Old Zhang into the antiques circle."

"Really?" The Little Landlady asked.

"Old Zhang said he\'s been wanting to learn about antiques and hasn\'t been able to for a long time," Lin Chuan recounted Old Zhang\'s words.

"Ah?"

The Little Landlady pieced together what Lin Chuan was saying, "Isn\'t it possible that Aunt Liu is just trying to swindle Old Zhang to join her, to draw him into investing?"

"It\'s possible, but I\'m just guessing," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Chairman, what do you think I should do?" The Little Landlady pouted and asked.

"Just wait and see, and remind Old Zhang not to invest rashly or buy antiques. If he wants to, he must discuss it with you. As for Aunt Liu, don\'t make a fuss about it. If she really does have good intentions with Old Zhang, she might become your stepmom," Lin Chuan laughed.

These words could only be spoken between Lin Chuan and the Little Landlady, not to reach the ears of Old Zhang and Liu Qing.

Otherwise, if Liu Qing really had genuine feelings for Old Zhang, hearing these words would only cause rifts between them.

The kind of rift that\'s like when everyone teams up to play online games at an internet cafe and then take five cars back to the dorm.

"Alright, I\'ll keep an eye on Old Zhang\'s treasure chest." The Little Landlady nodded, her lips pressed together, "Let\'s finish our ride and head home."

"Okay." Lin Chuan readily agreed.

"Why aren\'t you holding me?" The Little Landlady pouted and asked.

"Are you being this straightforward now?" Lin Chuan was taken aback.

This Little Landlady is getting more and more audacious.

It\'s killing me!

"I don\'t guarantee that my handbrake is very steady," the Little Landlady said with a smirk.

"But my hand is very steady!"

Lin Chuan directly wrapped his arm around the Little Landlady\'s slender waist.

It has to be said.

The Little Landlady\'s waist felt very comfortable to hold.

"Let\'s go!"

The Little Landlady shouted cheerfully, her voice echoing in the wind.

The gentle evening breeze swept across the fields on the outskirts of Anling City, brushing past the little electric scooter under the dim streetlight, and also causing ripples on the waters of the Anling River beside the road.

Tonight.

Watching Old Zhang and Liu Qing being so affectionate, and now with his arms wrapped around Xinxin\'s, the Little Landlady\'s, slender waist, Lin Chuan couldn\'t help but have his mind wander.

Humans.

In their twenties, an age of vigorous spirit and exuberant energy.

A fragrant and soft little rich woman, also a female university student, wearing a light gray dress, showing off her fair and tight long legs, dangling in front of him, letting him hold her waist, enjoying the evening breeze, giving him a lift home.

Damn it!

Who wouldn\'t be moved by this?

...

The gentle breeze of May drifted by, time quietly passed, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows, and the brush of time slowly stroked across Anling City, unnoticed.

Lin Chuan and the Little Landlady threw themselves wholeheartedly into their work.

Of course, the Little Landlady was dedicated to throwing herself into Lin Chuan since Lin Chuan was her work.

Now, under the Little Landlady\'s management, the 720 Network Security Company was well-organized and steadily rising.

Quite a few companies came to negotiate related cooperation with 720.

Li Qing also rapidly grew under Lin Chuan\'s guidance and was becoming increasingly capable of handling things on his own.

So, the Little Landlady, having plenty of free time, poured all her attention into Lin Chuan, doing whatever he needed.

Lin Chuan, on the other hand, continued to develop the anti-fraud app with companies like \'Jintang\' and \'Copper Wall,\' finishing up the work on May 21st.

Immediately after.

On May 23rd, led by Han River Province and with Anling City as the test site for the anti-fraud app, they began promoting the app.

However, promoting an app is not easy.

Especially this anti-fraud app, not to mention whether it has any anti-fraud effects, just the step of downloading it already stumped many people.

Many found it bothersome and thought it took up memory.

You tell them that this is an anti-fraud app, capable of blocking scam information from abroad, and identifying scam calls and related links.

They believe that with their intelligence, there\'s no way a scammer could trick them.

After all, nobody thinks of themselves as a fool.

But if someone tells them they can cash out when their Pinduoduo account reaches 500 yuan, and they see 499.99 yuan plus 99 gold coin fragments, they could still call dozens of friends they haven\'t contacted in years, including aunts and grand-aunts, to help them sign up for Pinduoduo.

Therefore, the promotion of the anti-fraud app didn\'t go smoothly.

But this was the responsibility of Anling City\'s Anti-Fraud Center, not Lin Chuan\'s.

Having completed the development of the anti-fraud app, Lin Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

May 26th.

Another piece of good news came.

[Work: "All-In".]

[Current Status: Serializing.]

[Current Chapter Subscription Count: 2.8 million+.]

[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 10,006/10,000.]

The Popularity Value (Average Subscription) of "All-In" had reached the standard!

Late at night.

In Happiness Community, the streetlights emitted a dim light, illuminating the narrow and twisting alleys, casting shadows on the walls covered in moss, highlighting the marks left by time.

The occasional bark of a dog, the rustling of the wind, slipped through the windows and into the cramped rental room, reaching Lin Chuan\'s ears.

At this moment.

The system\'s voice echoed in Lin Chuan\'s mind.

[Always be passionate, always be hopeful, a new life, new experiences.]

[Host, congratulations, the novel "All-In" adapted from your experiences as a salesman has reached 10,000 average subscriptions, that is, 10,000 points of popularity, unlocking a new career experience.]

[Would you like to immediately experience a new career and start a new life?]

This voice was very familiar, very intimate.

As though it resonated within Lin Chuan\'s heart.

Yes.

A new life, here it came again.

"\'Thief,\' \'swindler,\' I\'ve tried those, \'assassin\' I\'ve also played, \'hacker\' life I\'ve experienced, even \'fraud salesman,\' I carried out with gusto."

"This time, there\'s no way you could randomly assign me a criminal profession again!"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Chuan laughed somewhat unrestrainedly.

Yes, with each criminal career he experienced, Lin Chuan was confident that the system\'s bag of tricks was running low.

With one less criminal career, the chance of Lin Chuan experiencing a normal career increased a bit more.

There had to be a normal career at some point!

Lin Chuan thought to himself that the best would be a business career and then acquiring some business skills, leading the era, and quickly becoming the richest man.

After all, his current situation.

A bit of money he had, but not much.

720 Network Security Company was also funded by Little Landlady, still developing, not earning much.

People.

When they have no money, think that earning three thousand a month is enough; when they make three thousand, believe that earning over ten thousand a month makes them a winner in life.

However, when the income exceeds ten thousand, find that the mental state is not as good as when they had no money.

Because, when you have no money, the only worry is not having money.

Once you have money, the worries increase.

For example, how the performance today is, how the company is doing, which girl to choose as a girlfriend, how much the dowry should be.

One partner costs 388k+, two would cost 776k+, three would be 1.164 million+.

But having just 1.164 million+ is definitely not enough, you also need to have a house.

Little Landlady is a big little rich lady.

But Lin Chuan felt that he could still strive harder and hadn\'t reached the point of living off a woman yet.

It\'s a simple principle: the economic base determines the superstructure, have money in your pocket, and you speak a bit louder.

So...

"System, give me a business career, along with a god-level business ability!"

Lin Chuan hummed.

Soon.

The system\'s voice rang out—

[Host, please pay attention.]

[Each experience is a beautiful memory for you.]

[This system will save this memory for you in the form of a novel.]

[Randomly assigning your next career experience.]

[Host, congratulations, the profession you will experience this time is…]

[Antique Maker!]

"Antique Maker, that name does sound quite novel and stylish," mumbled Lin Chuan, frowning slightly,

Antique Maker…

Though not a business, making high-priced products like antiques is completely lucrative.

Just as Lin Chuan was musing, he suddenly froze.

Wait a minute, I… hang on!

\'Antique\' and \'Maker,\' these two words, don\'t seem to fit together!

The antiques made, are they still antiques?

The evening breeze continued to blow gently outside the window, shadows of trees swaying under the moonlight like \'aquatic grass crossing the water,\' occasionally the sound of car horns breaking the silence of the night.

Suddenly, Lin Chuan understood!

Antique Maker, isn\'t that just another word for counterfeiting!?

Counterfeiting!

System, is this how you\'ve started playing the game now?

Always worried that as an online writer I\'d have no pension, so you keep handing me these \'very secure\' professions, right?

At this point, the system provided an explanation—

[Host, please pay attention!]

[Currently, in your country, there is no explicit legal prohibition against replicating cultural relics or making antiques. Therefore, the mere act of replication, that is, Antique Forgery, does not constitute an illegal or criminal act.]

Lin Chuan wasn\'t as easily fooled as a three-year-old child anymore.

Now.

Which Antique Maker involved in counterfeiting wasn\'t selling replicas as genuine articles?

Without passing them off as real, why bother with counterfeiting?

Selling replicas as genuine items is an act of fraud, a bonafide criminal offense, an easy ticket to jail.

If you make it clear they are replicas, those who come to buy are middlemen, and without big operations, you can\'t make much money.

Moreover, the novel produced by this would inevitably receive critical voices: This damn thing\'s a novel, why the hell is the protagonist so timid, what\'s wrong with passing off fakes as real, go for it!

Lin Chuan took a deep breath.

System, you\'ve started playing your strategies openly.

Damn this is frustrating!
