After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Flexing in Progress

TL: YYang

At 11 PM, in the executive suite of the Junyue Hotel.

Shen Yuan had just finished blow-drying his wet hair. He then lay down on the large bed, preparing to try his luck with the system’s lottery.

The considerate Liu Menglu wasn’t sleeping here tonight. If Shen Yuan didn’t tell her in advance, she would sleep in her own small apartment when she was alone.

Thoughtfully, she had prepared a few sets of Shen Yuan’s frequently worn clothes and casual shoes in the closet, as well as his gym gear for the next day.

It had to be said, Housekeeper Liu’s work was indeed exceptionally meticulous.

She deserved a reward!

He would reward her with a few small goals tomorrow.

Subsequently, Shen Yuan awakened the system panel and summoned the “Perfect Life Grand Lottery.”

[The Host currently has 2 lottery chances available. Draw now?]

[Yes or No]

Shen Yuan chose “Yes.”

Immediately, a huge gift box appeared on the panel. Then, the gift box began to spin continuously. Just as Shen Yuan’s eyes were about to get dizzy, the speed of the gift box slowly decreased, and a line of text popped out.

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: one 500-square-meter storefront at Yunqi Yayuan.]

[Please proceed to the Yunqi Yayuan sales center within one week to claim it.]

Whoa!
It was actually a storefront!
Shen Yuan had never heard of this residential complex, so he immediately took out his phone and started searching on Baidu.

According to online information, Yunqi Yayuan was one of the most high-end residential properties in Star City. The first phase was already sold out, and the properties currently for sale were in the second phase.

This complex was positioned as high-end, with only large flat apartments for sale, including 268-square-meter, 468-square-meter, and 666-square-meter units.

And what the system gave him was a supporting storefront for this complex.

The houses at Yunqi Yayuan had always sold well, so the price of this storefront must be considerable. The system was awesome!
With this storefront, he had another source of income. Even if he didn’t open a shop there himself, being a landlord who collected rent was pretty sweet!

Shen Yuan continued to click for the next draw. The gift box spun dazzlingly again, and this time, the prize that popped out was a card.

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Fitness Panel Attribute Point Modification x2.]

Fitness attribute modification?
Didn’t that mean he could modify his body fat or weight? That way, he could complete the fitness task directly.

‘System, how much can I modify?’
Shen Yuan asked silently in his mind.

[Only 2 points can be modified.]

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly.

‘System, you’re so damn stingy!’

‘Would it kill you to give a few more points?’
Shen Yuan cursed under his breath, then summoned the fitness panel to take a look.

Height: 182CM
Weight: 70.6KG
Health Value: 70
BMI: 20.8
Body Fat: 19.5%
Shen Yuan didn’t hesitate for a moment and chose to add the attribute modification to his weight.

For someone with his lean body type, it was actually quite difficult to gain weight. When Shen Yuan was younger, he was even thinner. Old Shen and Li Hongjuan had tried to make him gain weight, but no matter how much he ate, Shen Yuan’s weight would at most fluctuate by 1-2KG; he just couldn’t get any fatter.

So after these three days, even though Shen Yuan had supplemented with a large amount of carbohydrates, his weight had only increased by 0.6KG.

[Modifying value for the Host, weight increasing by 2KG, modification progress at 1%… 2%… 3%…]

It seemed this weight modification would take some time. It should be completed after a night’s sleep.

Shen Yuan also summarized a pattern from this reward: not only would an increase in favorability value trigger rewards, but when the number of NPCs with high favorability reached a certain level, it would also trigger rewards.

It seemed the team needed continuous expansion.

Currently, although he had assembled a starting lineup—Huihui, Nana, Lulu, Xiaoxiao, Changchang—only the first three of these five could play in a game. The remaining two were still in training and couldn’t compete.

As everyone knew, a basketball team needed at least 15-20 players to meet the coach’s rotation requirements.

Why so many?

Because the basic starting and substitute lineups already consisted of 10 players, and they also had to consider various unforeseen factors such as injuries and rest days.

So, 15 was the minimum, and 20 was the best.

Shen Yuan silently calculated how to expand the team in his mind and unknowingly started to feel sleepy.

He had been running around all day today, and tomorrow he still had to work out and study. He also had to find time to pick up his car. So he scrolled through his phone for a while and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Shen Yuan completed his daily fitness plan as usual with the help of Coach Liu.

In the afternoon, Shen Yuan planned to go to Li Xiao’s place to study the textbook, but Li Xiao said they shouldn’t meet for the time being, saying she needed some time alone. Shen Yuan actually had a backup plan: the night before, he had deliberately left the marked “Foundations of Management” textbook behind, so he could use the excuse of retrieving it to visit her.

However, this little trick no longer worked on Counselor Li Xiao. She had specifically left the textbook at the guardhouse of the residential complex for Shen Yuan to pick up himself.

So, in the end, Shen Yuan’s plan failed.

Taking advantage of the free afternoon, Shen Yuan accompanied Chen Na to pick up the white Maserati MC20.

On the third day, Shen Yuan continued his fitness plan. In the afternoon, he went to pick up his silver Mercedes G63. With the G-Wagen, the Land Rover Defender was left to gather dust in the underground parking lot of the Junyue Hotel.

On the fourth day, besides his fitness check-in, Shen Yuan also used a learning card to complete the time-limited business administration task, successfully acquiring all the knowledge of the Hong Kong EMBA program.

During these few days, Fu Yingzi was also methodically executing Shen Yuan’s hype-building plan.

First, she exposed that the investor was a student from the Business School, and then she revealed that he was an International Trade major.

With the release of these two pieces of information, the matter gained even more attention, but most students still held a skeptical attitude.

Next, Shen Yuan had Fu Yingzi reveal that he drove a G-Wagen.

As soon as this information came out, the students who loved to surf the internet at the school went crazy, tapping on their keyboards to start their output.

“There’s no one in International Trade who drives a G-Wagen. Bro, if you’re going to spread rumors, at least do some homework, okay?”

“Forget the International Trade major, I’ve been in the Business School for 2 years and haven’t seen anyone drive a G-Wagen. Stop bullshitting.”
“Forget your Business School, I haven’t seen any student in the entire Foreign Economics College drive a G-Wagen. Bro, do you even draft your bullshit before you spew it?”

“I’m a car newbie, don’t really get it. What’s a G-Wagen? Can someone with a big dick explain?”

“You guys with small dicks, stop bothering us with big dicks all the time. This is the last time! Both the Mercedes G63 and G500 can be called a G-Wagen. A G500 costs over 2 million on the road, and a G63 is about 3 million.”

“Holy crap, that expensive!”

“Everyone just take this as a joke. Spreading rumors costs nothing, anyway.”

“…”

As the hype grew more intense, the school’s official account and Weibo were filled with curses. Shen Yuan would occasionally scroll down to look at the comments. Seeing these people curse his little secretary like this, Shen Yuan felt a bit sorry for her. He wondered how Fu Yingzi herself felt seeing these comments.

On Friday afternoon, perhaps because the weather was too hot and the keyboard warriors were more irritable, the comment section was particularly fierce. Shen Yuan felt that it was about time, so he drove his G-Wagen towards the school.

At this moment, a large crowd of students was pouring out of the main entrance of the small auditorium at the Foreign Economics College.

Today was a small-scale recruitment fair held by several companies for the Business School. The attendees included company representatives as well as junior and senior students from the Business School.

The companies held this kind of recruitment fair for two main purposes: one was to recruit people, and the other was for publicity and promotion.

Of course, the companies that came to the Foreign Economics College for recruitment fairs were not large corporations or state-owned enterprises, but mostly small and medium-sized local enterprises in Star City.

At this time, Tian Yuping, Guan Yongzhen, and a few other girls were chattering like orioles around a gentle and refined young man, a group of them talking and laughing.

Behind them were Huang Haibao, Cao Shunjin, Li Zhanpeng, and others, but their expressions all carried a hint of disdain and defiance.

“Senior, doesn’t your family own a company? Why did you still come back to attend this kind of recruitment fair?”

Tian Yuping was by the young man’s side, looking at him with a face full of admiration.

“I came to learn about the management experience and promotional strategies of other companies. After all, you can’t be complacent when managing a company; you have to keep up with the times,” replied the young man, who was called Senior Jian Dongliang. At this moment, he was full of airs, and looking at the girls surrounding him, a sense of superiority welled up in his heart.

“Senior, if I can’t find an internship, can I go to your family’s company?”

Tian Yuping’s eyes were shining.

This Jian Dongliang was a senior a year above them. His family owned a company that was said to have an annual revenue of several million.

She had known this senior since her freshman year. At that time, she was a freshman, and he was a student council officer, so she had even applied to be in the same department as him.

Unfortunately, Jian Dongliang had a girlfriend back then, so she never had a chance.

Two days ago, she clicked on Jian Dongliang’s Moments and found that all the content about his girlfriend had been deleted. It was clear they had broken up. And today, seeing him at this recruitment fair, she immediately gathered a few of her friends and surrounded him.

These days, it wasn’t easy to find someone handsome and rich. This was much better than a gargoyle like Huang Haibao.

Hearing Tian Yuping’s question, Jian Dongliang smiled and said, “Junior Tian, if you’re interested, you can submit your resume. With me putting in a good word for you, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

“Really? Thank you, Senior!”

Tian Yuping was overjoyed.

Not to be outdone, Guan Yongzhen, who was standing nearby, noticed a watch on Jian Dongliang’s wrist and couldn’t help but praise it, “Senior, what kind of watch are you wearing? It looks so expensive.”

“Oh, this?”

Jian Dongliang raised his wrist and said, “This is an Omega Seamaster. It’s actually not that expensive, only 50,000 yuan.”

Guan Yongzhen’s mouth immediately formed an ‘O’ shape. “50,000 isn’t expensive? Senior, you’re too modest.”

Jian Dongliang was very satisfied with Guan Yongzhen’s surprise and said with a smile, “It’s just a watch, not worth mentioning.”

“Then your car must not be cheap either, Senior?”

Tian Yuping, who was beside them, asked again.

Jian Dongliang said with a chuckle, “It’s nothing, just an A6. It only cost a little over 400,000 on the road.”

“…”

Huang Haibao, following behind, couldn’t help but snort coldly as he listened to the conversation ahead. “You son of a bitch. Your family clearly owns a company, you don’t need to find a job, yet you still come to this kind of recruitment fair. You’re obviously just here to show off and pick up girls!”

“And you even say you’re here to ‘learn about the management experience and promotional strategies of other companies.’ What a load of crap!”

Huang Haibao had a look of disdain. So what if he had a little money?

What was so great about it?

What annoyed him the most was that this damn senior was hitting on the girls from their class, and one of them was Tian Yuping.

The memory of being scammed out of 1,800 by Tian Yuping was still fresh in his mind. Now, seeing Tian Yuping’s fawning behavior, Huang Haibao felt even more disgusted.

Cao Shunjin also felt a bit sour. Was an A6 and an Omega watch really worth showing off?

‘Our dorm’s Third Brother drives a Land Rover Defender, you know?’

‘He also invested 10 million in the startup base. Can you do that?’

The key was that Third Brother wasn’t a show-off. The comments on the official account were so harsh, yet he didn’t come forward to claim his identity.

‘Damn, that bastard can really hold it in!’
‘If it were me, I would have jumped out to show off long ago.’

Li Zhanpeng, standing at the very back, was even more annoyed. Besides Shen Yuan, he was the most qualified to show off in Class 2. Now some stranger was flexing on the girls in their class. How could he stand it?
But there was nothing he could do. His 3 Series was a tier below the A6. This was a hard power gap that couldn’t be bridged.

He subconsciously thought of Shen Yuan. If that guy were here, he could definitely put this scoundrel in his place.

Although he didn’t like Shen Yuan either, they were at least in the same class. They had to present a united front against outsiders, right?
