Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads' Personas Collapse-Chapter 108
Chapter 108
Damn it, you should’ve responded with something like, “What does it matter to me? I’m not your woman.”
Forget it. Let’s not get our hopes up. Chen Fan’s character is already half-ruined. As long as the plot flows, no matter how ridiculous, it’ll still progress somehow.
At worst, she simply doesn’t like the protagonist, right? Could he actually like me, the antagonist? That would be delusional. Daddy is the man you all can’t have.
After saying goodbye to Lin Qingyue, Chen Fan drove off with the woman toward his company.
“If possible, don’t mess with Lin Qingyue. We’re just on a blind date; that doesn’t give you the right to interfere with my affairs.”
Damn it, this author must be brain-dead! This woman is so beautiful and is supposed to be my wife, yet you make me pine for someone else. Do you know how painful this is for me?
Cao Zijin said, “Oh, well, I thought … I thought you’d be happy.”
“I …” Chen Fan was stumped by her pitiful expression.
Sis, don’t do this.
“I just wanted to help you out for now. After all, before I came, I heard Lin Qingyue and Ye Aotian were bullying you. I got angry, so I went to find Lin Qingyue. You’re not mad at me for that, are you?”
Chen Fan got goosebumps.
Never mind; cherish it while you can, this woman who can joke and play with ease of a tea master.
Later on, this woman’s darkness would surpass his, unable to be described in ordinary terms. In short, her vibe was that if there was trouble, she had to be involved.
“Alright, I’m not mad. Now, let’s get down to business. The company is struggling; we need your endorsement to get back on track. Are you willing?”
“Just an endorsement? But if there’s no real product, that won’t work. I can help endorse, but that doesn’t mean I’ll endorse anything; if something goes wrong, my reputation will be affected.”
Reputation? You’re an antagonist!
Chen Fan said, “What? Didn’t you agree beforehand? Help me endorse and help us get through this rough patch.”
Cao Zijin took off her sunglasses and looked at him. “Chen Fan, this is a blind date. We’re not a couple or married. You should understand that, and it’s quite disrespectful to openly tell me you like Lin Qingyue when we’re dating, don’t you think?”
Then why not like Ye Aotian? You both have some history, though it’s a bit odd; still, it fits the plot.
The entertainment industry storyline is where the protagonist truly begins to gain national fame. Starting from Qincheng, laying the foundation in school, and rising in the entertainment industry. This was where Ye Aotian gradually began his ascent to nationwide power. If Ye Aotian didn’t become famous, the subsequent plot wouldn’t unfold.
So, Chen Fan hoped this plot would go smoothly.
He also had a few face-slapping scenes here, so he only needed to play his part, let the protagonist play his part, and let the women play theirs. Then, this part of the story should be fine.
Hmm … hopefully.
Looking at the woman beside him, Chen Fan felt she’d skipped her meds today.
“Are you hot?”
“A bit. My outfit isn’t very comfortable, so I’ll just take off my socks here in your car. Don’t get mad, they’re clean.”
Damn it, isn’t this practically a crime?
Chen Fan ignored her and continued driving.
Meanwhile, Cao Zijin suppressed her laughter and said, “Chen Fan, has anyone ever praised you?”
“My parents and Zhu Yeqing. Why?”
“Now, you’ve got one more; I want to praise you too.”
“Why?”
“I think you’re a very devoted guy. Nowadays, guys like you are rare.”
“Devoted? What do you mean?”
“Qincheng’s number one virgin didn’t get that title for nothing, haha!”

Chen Fan floored the gas pedal. Today, I’m taking you down with me; neither of us will survive.
All he got in return was Cao Zijin shouting with excitement.
“Oh wow, Chen Fan, you know I love speeding. You really know me well!”
***
Chen Fan really felt like crying right now. She … she’s really something. None of my tactics work on this woman. This woman is truly impressive.
When the car reached the building, Chen Fan glanced over and asked, “You didn’t … bring any luggage?”
“Nope. Isn’t your family rich? You can just buy me whatever I need.”
Chen Fan sighed, “We’re in a business relationship. Let’s make that clear. I don’t want anything extra mixed in, you understand? The Chen family has always avoided letting anyone enter the company based on family connections.”
The longevity of the Chen family was precisely due to this rule. Of course, this was also why the enterprises Chen Fan managed were gradually going bankrupt. Because Chen Fan himself was an exception.
After entering the company, Chen Fan led Cao Zijin to his office and asked Zhu Yeqing to prepare some fruit and pastries for her.
Cao Zijin crossed her legs, looking at Zhu Yeqing and said, “So this beauty is Zhu Yeqing?”
“Yeah, why? You plan on controlling my people too? Let’s get something straight: you’re not Chen family’s daughter-in-law, so don’t meddle where you’re not wanted.”
“So what? I can still give her orders, right? Get me a glass of water.”
Damn it.
Zhu Yeqing glared at her, barely able to hold herself back. She used to naively think Chen Fan belonged to her alone. But now, another female antagonist had appeared, and it was too much for her.
What’s with this annoying author? Why set up a female lead for Chen Fan? This is way too much. He’s supposed to be an antagonist. Isn’t having one undercover agent–me–enough? Do you doubt my capabilities?
Can’t I even manage one man properly?
Chen Fan sighed, choosing not to intervene. If he had to get involved in things like this, it would obviously give him away.
“Zhu Yeqing, go call the operations department. We need to prepare a new product strategy. I have a formula here; pass it to the research department to make it our flagship product.”
This formula Chen Fan had developed during his time at school was something he cared about—it had high earning potential.
No one, regardless of gender, could resist this ointment.
It might sound crude, maybe even base, but it tapped into human nature. Both men and women couldn’t avoid being drawn to it. The core concept was simple: it promoted cell regeneration, serving as a restorative agent.
As people became older, they inevitably sustained damage, and this ointment could repair it, reawakening cellular vitality.
It’s wasn’t like you’ll jump from a C to an A instantly, but reaching a B was quite possible.
“Understood.” After Zhu Yeqing left with the formula, Cao Zijin asked, “What’s in that formula?”
“It promotes a second development in the human body. Basically, revitalization, that’s it.”
Cao Zijin was stunned for a while. “Oh my god, you actually remember the formula? How’s that possible? Weren’t you saying you’d forgotten it?”
“You’re spying on me?”
Cao Zijin laughed. “Relax, it’s no big deal. My grandfather is the school principal, so naturally, I’d know about what you did there. After all, you’re the arranged date my family set up for me, right?”
Hmm, that kind of makes sense. Chen Fan didn’t suspect a thing.
After some thought, Cao Zijin said, “If it’s effective, I think I could endorse it. But have you thought this through? What about dealing with the Food and Drug Administration? And the Chinese Medicine Association? If those two departments don’t approve, you can’t launch this product.”
“The Chinese Medicine Association isn’t hard—they’re a bunch of people who want money, just bribe them. As for the FDA, as long as it’s not harmful, there won’t be any issues.”
