After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Where the Hell Did I Lose?

TL: YYang

“Does it take three people to move a cabinet? The hallway is so narrow, three people can’t even pass through. Besides, I have to watch out for you guys so you don’t bump into anything.”

Shen Yuan retorted bluntly.

“You son of a bitch, you’re slacking off, and your excuses are so high-sounding!”

Huang Haibao cursed under his breath. If he weren’t carrying the filing cabinet, he really would have wanted to beat Shen Yuan up.

Although he couldn’t win on his own, Old Cao was right there!

After Shen Yuan directed them to move the filing cabinet out, he went to help Li Xiao clean up the miscellaneous items.

Just as he was about to squat down, he suddenly noticed that the Favorability above Li Xiao’s head seemed to have changed.

[Favorability: 67]

Shen Yuan clearly remembered that when he first entered the office, the Favorability displayed above Li Xiao’s head was only 65.

This…

Just that one moment could increase her Favorability?

Shen Yuan was a bit dumbfounded.

Because the two of them had been so close just now, Shen Yuan’s equipment had indeed lightly touched Li Xiao.

Of course, he couldn’t be blamed for being too long; it was mainly that Li Xiao’s buttocks were indeed too perky. If it had been any other girl with a flatter figure, Shen Yuan was afraid he wouldn’t have been able to reach.

But thinking about it, this was also good news. The higher the Favorability, the more beneficial it was for him. After all, reaching 90 could yield a lot of rewards.

It seemed that he would have to visit Counselor Li Xiao more often in the future to cultivate their relationship and prepare for the future.

Fifteen minutes later, Li Xiao’s desk, filing cabinet, including documents, materials, and textbooks, were all moved next door.

Shen Yuan and Li Xiao were fine; they had only moved some light items. But Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin had moved all the heavy objects and were truly exhausted, both of them covered in sweat.

Shen Yuan even said bossily, “Look at the state of you two. You can’t just stay in the dorm all the time in the future. You need to exercise more like me.”

Looking at Shen Yuan’s smug face, Huang Haibao was so angry that if Counselor Li Xiao hadn’t been there, he would have wanted to tear his mouth apart.

What did we move, and what did you move? Don’t you have any fucking clue?

“Thank you, all three of you. Let me treat you to drinks.”

Seeing the three of them having worked so hard for her and now covered in sweat, Li Xiao felt quite bad and offered to treat them.

“O-J-B-K!”

“Then let’s go to the convenience store!”

Next, after Li Xiao bought drinks for the three of them at the convenience store, she returned to the office building, while Shen Yuan and the other two went back to the dorm.

After returning to the dorm, Huang Haibao couldn’t help but gossip, “Third Brother, don’t you think the counselor was acting a bit strange today?”

Huang Haibao recalled that when they first arrived at the office, Counselor Li Xiao’s expression seemed a bit flustered, even showing a hint of a young woman’s panic and shyness.

This was something he had never seen before.

Cao Shunjin felt the same and couldn’t help but say, “Yeah, I noticed it too, but I didn’t dare to ask just now.”

Cao Shunjin and Huang Haibao’s mindset was still stuck in high school, where students had a natural sense of awe towards teachers.

The teacher-student relationship was just that, and respecting teachers was a matter of course.

But now that they were juniors heading towards society, whether it was students or teachers, the relationship was actually no longer so restrictive.

But Shen Yuan had always treated teachers as equals and had never felt they were superior, so his communication was always harmonious.

Therefore, seeing Shen Yuan being able to joke around with the counselor and some of the course teachers, Cao Shunjin and Huang Haibao were actually quite envious.

“How come I didn’t notice? I think she was the same as before, no different.”

Shen Yuan replied casually.

Of course, he knew what was going on, but he couldn’t possibly tell these two idiots that he had just poked the counselor with his equipment!

Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin began to doubt themselves. “Did we see it wrong?”

“You must have seen it wrong!”

Shen Yuan chatted with the two for a bit more, then climbed onto his bed to take a nap.

Before falling asleep, he reviewed the things he needed to do recently.

Besides attending classes, there were actually quite a few things.

First, the renovation of the lounge bar had already begun, and he needed to start contacting people for store-visit videos and promotions.

Second, Chen Na was already in the process of resigning, so they needed to start looking for a location for the coffee shop.

Also, he had to pick up the Defender he had ordered last week this Friday.

As Shen Yuan thought about these things, he unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

About eight hundred meters from the south gate of the Foreign Economics College, there was a coffee shop called “MS.”

Besides coffee, it was also a small leisure club where you could play cards, chat, play board games, and so on.

Some students from the college with good family backgrounds liked to hang out here.

But for some reason, even though the business was quite good, a “Prime Shop for Transfer” sign was posted.

On this Saturday afternoon, Li Zhanpeng drove his newly purchased BMW 3 Series, with one of his roommates and two girls from his class, to this coffee shop.

Ever since Fang Minhui had rejected him, he had quickly recovered from this failed relationship and was ready to set his sights on other girls.

There were plenty of fish in the sea, why be fixated on just one?

The two girls in front of him weren’t on Fang Minhui’s level, but they were passable.

He could try to get to know them.

One of the girls was named Wei Yanyan. She was actually average-looking, but she knew how to dress up. With heavy makeup, false eyelashes, and a rather bold style of dress, she could barely be considered a six out of ten.

After sitting down, Wei Yanyan started a conversation. “Li Zhanpeng, how much did you pay for that car?”

Li Zhanpeng replied nonchalantly, “Not expensive, only 280,000 in total.”

“Wow~ 280,000 isn’t expensive!”

“That’s nothing.”

Li Zhanpeng waved his hand. He was already past the initial showing-off phase after buying the car, and his vanity threshold had risen. Ordinary flattery could no longer satisfy him.

Of course, if Fang Minhui had said something like that, he might have gotten a thrill out of it, but these two girls wouldn’t do.

“You’re being too modest. You’re already driving a BMW before graduation. You’ve already surpassed 99% of our classmates.”

Wei Yanyan said with a beaming smile.

The other girl, who had a cute style and was wearing a lolita dress, was named Weng Meiyun. She also chimed in, “It’s more than 99%, at least 99.99%.”

“Heh, but some people still look down on BMWs.”

Li Zhanpeng said resentfully. Thinking of Fang Minhui’s ruthless tone at the gathering that day, he still felt very annoyed.

I’m 21 and driving a BMW, where did I go wrong?

Why does she look down on me?

“No way, she even looks down on a BMW? Is her family very well-off?”

Wei Yanyan was slightly surprised. Shouldn’t a girl seize the opportunity with a guy from such a good family background? After all, once they left school, the competition would be even greater.

Li Zhanpeng shook his head. “Just an ordinary family.”

Wei Yanyan suddenly found it a bit amusing. “No way, are there really people still living in a fairytale world?”

“…”
