After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Wasn’t this a bit too fucking ridiculous?

TL: YYang

“Are you here by yourself? Where’s the lady boss?”

Shen Yuan sat down across from Chen Na and asked.

“The lady boss should be here soon. She just sent me a WeChat message.”

Chen Na blinked her beautiful eyes. “So, how’s the car? Did you take it for a spin anywhere yesterday?”

“It’s not bad. I wouldn’t have bought it if it wasn’t good to drive.”

Shen Yuan had picked up the car last Friday, and Chen Na had helped him with the handover procedures.

Only afterward did Shen Yuan learn that Chen Na had already resigned on Tuesday and had come back specifically on Friday to handle the car handover for him. Shen Yuan was a little touched by this.

Chen Na gave him a teasing smile. “Did you only buy it because it’s good to drive?”

Shen Yuan reacted quickly, smiling meaningfully. “Maybe it was also the headlights. I really do like the headlights.”

Chen Na froze for a second, then her pretty face instantly flushed crimson when she understood. She had wanted to tease Shen Yuan, but she hadn’t expected to try and steal a chicken only to lose the rice.

However, Chen Na couldn’t be sure if he meant *those* headlights, so she could only let it go. She carefully pushed the other cup of coffee on the table toward him. “I ordered you an iced Americano. I’m not sure if you’ll like it.”

“…”

“Brother Peng, this doesn’t look quite right…”

Ye Zhiyang couldn’t help but whisper.

Although they couldn’t hear what the two were saying, from the beautiful woman’s demeanor, it was obvious they were flirting.

The corner of Li Zhanpeng’s mouth twitched, but he said nothing.

He was feeling very conflicted right now. On one hand, Shen Yuan was, for some reason, driving a Defender, a car that cost at least three times as much as his BMW.

On the other hand, that elegant beauty was acting like a coy young woman in front of Shen Yuan.

Just a moment ago, he had been fantasizing about how wonderful it would be to have such a beauty, even willing to trade ten years of his life for it.

But now, it looked like a joke.

That bastard Shen Yuan had clearly beaten him to it.

That son of a bitch Shen Yuan had only just broken up with his senior, and now he was hooking up with a beauty from off-campus?

And here he was, still struggling to even find a girlfriend.

It was as if Shen Yuan ate delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, while he couldn’t even get a piece of tree bark to chew on.

Were they even attending the same fucking university?

The contrast in their situations was just too vast; Li Zhanpeng was starting to question his own life.

Wei Yanyan and Weng Meyun’s minds couldn’t quite process it either. Logically, Shen Yuan’s family had already gone bankrupt, and the domestic car he was driving outside was borrowed from who-knows-where, so how could he still find such a beautiful girlfriend?

In their perception, everyone was chasing money these days; pure love simply didn’t exist. So they couldn’t figure out why the scene before them was even happening.

Just then, the glass door of the coffee shop was pushed open again, and a charming young woman in her early thirties gracefully walked in.

She walked toward where Chen Na and Shen Yuan were sitting with a smile. “Hello, Miss Chen. I was just picking up my child, so I was a little delayed.”

Chen Na stood up and shook hands with the young woman. “Hello, Mrs. Lin.”

“Shen Yuan, this is the owner of ‘MS’ coffee shop, Mrs. Lin Yuchang.”

“Mrs. Lin, this is Shen Yuan, whom I mentioned to you.”

Chen Na introduced the two with a smile.

“Hello, Mrs. Lin.”

Shen Yuan smiled and stood up, giving Lin Yuchang a light handshake.

Although this beautiful young woman had already had a child, she seemed to have maintained herself very well.

Today, she wore a white sleeveless shirt, revealing her snow-white, slender arms, and a gray woolen skirt on her lower half, which made her hips appear even rounder.

“Mr. Shen, you look very young.”

Lin Yuchang looked Shen Yuan up and down, surprised that he was so young.

When she had come in just now, she had seen a Defender parked outside. It seemed it belonged to this Shen Yuan.

“Actually, we’re all about the same age, in our twenties.”

Shen Yuan laughed it off with a smile. Not only did he not state his actual age, but he also subtly leveled everyone’s age.

Lin Yuchang’s smile widened even more when she heard this. How could she be in her twenties? She was already thirty-one this year.

But what woman didn’t love to hear such sweet talk?

“I’ll be brief. I’ve already discussed most of it with Miss Chen last time.”

“To be honest, the business at this shop is just so-so, but it’s next to the school, so the customer flow is decent. It can barely cover expenses. I opened this shop mainly to pass the time.”

“But now, there’s a lot going on at home, and my in-laws have gone back to their hometown. I can’t manage taking care of the child by myself, so I thought I might as well just transfer it.”

Lin Yuchang explained the details to Shen Yuan.

Ever since she had put the shop up for transfer, quite a few people had come to inquire, but they either complained that the business was poor or that the transfer fee was too expensive.

It had been listed for a month, and the shop still hadn’t been transferred.

If she just closed it down, she would be reluctant to part with it. After all, with the renovations, equipment, and various supplies, she had spent nearly four hundred thousand yuan in total.

“Then please tell me the transfer price.”

Shen Yuan was a student at the Foreign Economics College, and he knew what the business was like from occasionally passing by.

Lin Yuchang hadn’t exaggerated; it was probably just breaking even.

For him, breaking even was enough. With his system-daddy’s double rebate, he would make a profit no matter what.

“At the time, the renovations and the equipment in the shop cost us nearly 400,000 yuan in total, plus there are still ten to twenty thousand yuan worth of supplies in the shop.”

As Lin Yuchang spoke, she observed Shen Yuan’s reaction. “But I also know that it’s been open for two years, and the things have been used for so long, so there’s definitely depreciation. I’m planning to transfer it for 300,000.”

“How about this? I won’t haggle with you. A single price: 250,000.”

Shen Yuan gave a price he could accept.

He still had 300,000 in investment funds. If he paid a 250,000 transfer fee, he would have 50,000 left over as initial capital for the shop and Chen Na’s first month’s salary.

Lin Yuchang hesitated for a moment. When she had asked for 300,000, she had indeed left room for negotiation, as it was impossible for someone discussing a transfer not to bargain.

Her real expectation was actually around 270,000.

But now, the other party had cut it directly to 250,000.

On second thought, if she didn’t transfer it this time, she might not find someone so straightforward and decisive next time. She hardened her resolve and said, “Can we sign the agreement and pay the transfer fee today?”

“Yes.”

“After we sign the agreement, we’ll add each other on WeChat. You can send me your card number, and then I’ll transfer the 250,000 to you through my mobile banking app.”

“Mhm, okay.”

A weight lifted from Lin Yuchang’s heart. She stood up to get the agreement and returned with the only female employee in the shop. “Xiao Qiu, this Mr. Shen will be your new boss from now on. You can show him around in a bit.”

“Hello, boss.”

The girl named Xiao Qiu was not old, probably in her early twenties, with a rather delicate appearance. She nodded shyly at Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan gave a slight nod in acknowledgment, then pointed at Chen Na and said, “Just show this Miss Chen around. I won’t be coming to the shop often. She will be in charge of all matters, big and small, from now on.”

“Hello, Miss Chen.”

Chen Na smiled sweetly, thinking that this Xiao Qiu seemed very kind. “I’m not much older than you. You can call me Sister Na or Nana.”

“Okay, Sister Na.”

“Brother Peng, did you hear that?”

“Wasn’t this a bit too fucking ridiculous?”
