After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 13

Chapter 13: The Money Tree

TL: YYang

Zhou Wanting stared blankly, her eyes filled with disbelief, thinking she had misheard.

He was buying two bags? Shen Yuan’s family had already gone bankrupt, and they had sold their car and house to pay off debts. Where did he get the money? Hou Jun also felt it was impossible. After all, the beautiful girl next to him had just paid for the taxi.

They looked on with suspicion, planning to see what would happen next. But unexpectedly, Shen Yuan simply waved his hand. “No need to check. Just issue the invoice.”

“Ah… okay, okay.”

Alisa didn’t even react, her heart filled with uncontrollable excitement. She quickly agreed.

What a big shot! A real big shot! This was a true whale, decisive and swift! Under the astonished gazes of Zhou Wanting and Hou Jun, Shen Yuan swiped his card and paid, all in one smooth motion.

“Shen Yuan, didn’t your family go bankrupt? Where did you get the money?”

Zhou Wanting could no longer hold back and questioned him sharply.

“None of your damn business.”

Shen Yuan was signing the receipt and replied indifferently.

“You didn’t go and get a loan, did you?”

Hou Jun had just thought about it carefully. If his family had already gone bankrupt, then this was the only possible explanation.

He had no money at home, but to pick up girls and show off, he went to get a loan.

This kind of news was common in society. Hou Jun had seen many people who had ruined their families by tipping live streamers, and some had even embezzled public funds to take girls out to eat and drink and were then reported.

What a criminal! “Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got a loan. You can think whatever you want.”

Shen Yuan handed the pen back to Alisa, then smiled at Hou Jun. “Boss, you’re not short on cash anyway. Why don’t you buy another one for Wanting? It’s only a little over twenty thousand.”

“Uh…”

Hou Jun looked troubled, stammering and not knowing how to respond. He had just spent twenty-six thousand and was already heartbroken, let alone buying another one.

Even if he had money, he wouldn’t spend it like that.

“Besides being a gentleman, a man should also be generous. Your car costs at least six or seven hundred thousand. Do you really care about this little bit of money?”

Shen Yuan said with a smile, his sarcasm at full blast. He couldn’t help it; the almighty system had given him a quest. Now, the more Hou Jun and Zhou Wanting hated him, the better.

“Uh… wait, let me take this call.”

Hou Jun took out his phone and turned to leave, saying as he walked, “I’m outside right now.”

“What? Who let you make that decision? Didn’t I say that you can’t act on a project worth millions without me…”

Shen Yuan couldn’t help but want to laugh. This son of a bitch was really good at putting on an act.

But then Shen Yuan suddenly noticed that the negative value above their heads had changed.

Hou Jun’s negative value was initially 30, and now it had risen to 35.

And Zhou Wanting’s negative value had risen from 35 to 45.

“Hou Jun, how could you…”

Zhou Wanting watched Hou Jun’s retreating figure, completely disappointed. She hadn’t expected him to be so weak.

“Shen Yuan, you’d better watch yourself.”

She was outnumbered and could only throw out a fierce but empty threat before quickly following him.

The sales associate, Alisa, had already packed the bags by now and handed them over with a smile. “Mr. Shen, they’re all packed for you.”

Julia, standing on the side, felt her heart bleeding as she watched this scene.

Mr. Shen was still the same Mr. Shen, buying two at once.

And Ms. Zhou and her new flame, what a joke! Julia was on the verge of tears. She deeply regretted her decision just now. She had had the chance to continue serving Mr. Shen, but she had actually believed the nonsense from Ms. Zhou and that man! Damn it, who told you he was bankrupt!

“Okay.”

Shen Yuan politely took the bags and handed them directly to Fang Minhui. “They’re for you.”

“This…”

Fang Minhui hesitated. This bag cost twenty-nine thousand. Was he just giving it to her like that? Although she was mentally prepared, Fang Minhui felt she should still refuse. “I can’t accept this. It’s too valuable.”

“What’s the big deal? It’s just a bag. Besides, I feel bad that you had to see those unpleasant people today. Consider the bag my apology!”

Fang Minhui hesitated for a moment and finally accepted. “Thank you then, Shen Yuan.”

“Don’t thank me so quickly. There’s also this one, it’s for you too.” Shen Yuan handed her the other bag.

Fang Minhui’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Aren’t you giving one to your sister?”

Oh my god, it was already difficult to accept one bag, let alone two.

“I don’t know if she’ll like it. I’ll take her shopping myself next time. Anyway, you picked both of these.”

Picking a birthday gift for his sister was just an excuse. Besides, that little devil Shen Xuan definitely wouldn’t want it and would scold him for being a spendthrift and go tattle to their parents.

If Old Shen and Li Hongjuan found out, they would definitely give him a good beating first, and then force him to explain the source of the money.

Most importantly, the more Fang Minhui accepted, the more cash back he would get! Fang Minhui looked troubled. She had already struggled with herself for a long time before accepting the first one. How could she accept another one now?

Besides, she didn’t want to leave the impression of being a gold digger on Shen Yuan.

“It’s okay, this is just the beginning. We have a long future ahead of us. Just take them for now.”

Shen Yuan was worried she wouldn’t accept and said with a stern face, “If you refuse again, I’ll really get angry.”

“Alright then.”

Fang Minhui breathed a sigh of relief and decided to stop struggling. Since Shen Yuan had already said so, it would be bad to refuse again and annoy him.

She couldn’t help it; it was Prada, after all. It was too hard to refuse.

But at this moment, she suddenly recalled what Shen Yuan had just said.

“A long future ahead,” could he be talking about… Fang Minhui occasionally scrolled through some memes and was familiar with these puns. She and Chen Ling also often made such jokes.

Could he be implying that?

But, would it seem too casual of her to agree to go out with him on the first date? But he had spent over fifty thousand on her today. If he really had that request… Thinking of this, Fang Minhui’s pretty face flushed red, and she didn’t dare to look up at Shen Yuan.

And at this moment, Shen Yuan was patiently waiting for the system’s gift.

[Congratulations, host, for completing the time-limited quest.]

[This time-limited quest has accumulated a total of 15 negative value points. The amount spent will be returned threefold. In addition to the female spending, a total of six times the amount will be returned this time.]

Solid! Shen Yuan clenched his fist, overjoyed. Just now, Hou Jun had generated 5 negative value points towards him, and Zhou Wanting had generated 10.

According to the quest issued by the system, every 5 negative value points would result in an additional doubling, so 15 points meant a tripling.

“Ding!”

[China Construction Bank]Your card ending in 0098 received a deposit of 339,600 yuan at 21:10 on May 11. Current balance is 414,356.

The cash back had arrived!

Shen Yuan couldn’t help but look at the girl who had generated over three hundred thousand in income for him, and he sighed in his heart: This is my money tree. I must take good care of it, water and nurture it well.

Yes, I can “water” and nurture it well.
