After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 75

Chapter 75: The Push and Pull Between a Player and a Queen Bee

TL: YYang

During breakfast, Shen Yuan received a call from his counselor, Li Xiao.

Li Xiao said that the school had already agreed to his request. They would draft the documents in the next two days and then start promoting the entrepreneurship base. From the college to the department, and then to the specific classes, everyone would receive documents and notices.

At that time, students interested in starting a business would need to submit application forms, business plans, and other materials.

The application forms collected would first be submitted to the Youth League Committee and then transferred to Shen Yuan for evaluation and review.

Shen Yuan was not surprised by this. After all, the school hadn’t received any investment for so long and was eager to implement it as soon as possible.

The conditions Shen Yuan offered didn’t really affect the school. What they cared about was that the entrepreneurship base project could be officially launched. This way, they could add another good selling point to their admission brochures and also receive government support for it.

Li Xiao also mentioned that the school suggested giving more consideration to students with excellent academic and moral standing.

Speaking of this, Shen Yuan said as a matter of course, “That’s natural. I will definitely give priority to these students.”

“By the way, Counselor, I wanted to ask, will the application form have height, weight, and a personal 1-inch photo on it?”

Shen Yuan asked.

“I haven’t seen the template for that yet.”

Li Xiao pondered on the other end of the phone for a long while. “What, do you want to fill in this information? What does it have to do with height and weight?”

Shen Yuan said with a straight face, “Of course it does. A qualified entrepreneur definitely needs a good physique and appearance. And you can also judge whether the student is self-disciplined through their appearance. My standards are very high.”

Li Xiao always felt that something was not right, but this was a small matter. “Alright then, I’ll take a look at the application form template later. If it’s not there, I’ll add it.”

“Okay.”

Shen Yuan then said, “Who will I be coordinating with on these matters? I can’t always trouble you, Counselor.”

“There will be student cadres from the Youth League Committee to coordinate. Secretary Lu will arrange it later.”

Li Xiao replied.

“Alright, I don’t have any other problems for now.”

“By the way, Shen Yuan, my sister and I are moving tomorrow morning. Are you free tomorrow morning?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Alright then.”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuan finished the remaining two buns in a hurry and glanced at his phone. In the clear bar’s three-person group chat, Li Yuhang had just sent a video of the on-site renovation.

From the video, the renovation was more than half complete. Except for some of the soft furnishings that hadn’t arrived, the rest was basically done.

Li Yuhang’s efficiency was quite good. At this rate, the clear bar could open in half a month at most.

At this moment, Shen Yuan’s phone chimed again. It was a WeChat message from Coach Liu.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing, just resting for a bit. I have to go out around 12.” Shen Yuan replied.

He had an appointment with two decoration companies today to discuss the villa design plan.

Yesterday morning, Shen Yuan had contacted two decoration companies. As soon as they heard that Shen Yuan’s decoration budget was 20 million, they immediately arranged for designers to go to the site to measure the house, and then worked overtime to rush out the preliminary design plan. They had an appointment with Shen Yuan to discuss it in detail at the company today.

Indeed, the power of money was immense. When realistic people saw money, their work speed would increase exponentially.

“Where are you going? Do you need a little tag-along?”

Shen Yuan couldn’t help but reply, “You said it yourself that you’re a tag-along, why would I bring you?”

“But I’m going to the decoration company to discuss the plan. If you’re free, we can go together.”

Shen Yuan thought to himself that although Liu Menglu was a bit of a green tea, she could provide emotional value for men. It would be nice to have a sexy beauty cheering him on while discussing the plan.

Liu Menglu replied in a second, “Okay, I’m free. You have to come and pick me up at noon. I’m at the gym.”

“Okay.”

Star City was still hot today. As soon as he went downstairs, fine beads of sweat appeared on Shen Yuan’s body. He first called a Didi to pick up his car, and then drove to the Lede Fitness Center.

Forty minutes later, Shen Yuan appeared at the Lede Fitness Center in his Defender.

He sent Liu Menglu a WeChat message saying “Arrived,” and she immediately replied that she needed to change her clothes and to wait for her for 5 minutes.

Shen Yuan thought to himself that women were so slow.

With nothing to do, he simply got out of the car to stretch. It was uncomfortable to be cooped up in the car all the time, and he had to drive for another forty or fifty minutes to the decoration company later.

“Brother, waiting for someone?”

A male voice suddenly sounded from the side. Shen Yuan turned his head and saw a slightly overweight man in his thirties talking to him.

He was not tall, wearing a white polo shirt and light-colored five-point shorts, and a Rolex Green Submariner on his wrist. He looked quite rich.

“Yeah, right.”

Shen Yuan didn’t know him and replied casually.

“Let me guess, waiting for a woman, right?”

The man showed a simple and honest smile.

“Mmm.”

Shen Yuan nodded faintly. He was not in the habit of chatting with strangers.

But this man was probably a chatterbox and continued to strike up a conversation, “Your Defender is not bad. I also went to the dealership to see it when I was buying a car.”

“Thanks.”

Shen Yuan returned a polite smile and kept his eyes on the entrance of the fitness center.

“But your car is okay for chasing ordinary girls, but it’s not enough for high-quality girls.”

The man said in the tone of an experienced person.

“Oh? What do you mean by that.”

Shen Yuan became a little interested.

“Land Rover’s sales are low now, and it’s not very popular. Many women don’t know about cars now. People don’t even recognize your car’s logo. When you drive it out, people might think it’s an ordinary domestic car.”

“That’s true.”

Shen Yuan also agreed with this view. Fewer people were buying Land Rovers now, and its logo was not as recognizable as those of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi.

It was useless if you met someone who didn’t know about cars.

“Big brother, what car do you drive?”

Shen Yuan was a little curious.

“A G-Wagen.”

“As long as you work hard, you’ll be driving a G-Wagen sooner or later!”

The man smiled confidently, took out a car key from his pocket, and pressed the unlock button. Immediately, the white G-Wagen behind him flashed its lights.

Shen Yuan didn’t expect this big brother to be so full of himself. He couldn’t help but laugh, “Then big brother must be very hardworking.”

“Hehe, it’s alright.”

The G-Wagen man put his hands in his pockets, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He was about to say something more to Shen Yuan, but at this moment, Liu Menglu came downstairs with a smile.

She was wearing a black slip dress today, with a white bow at the neckline. A large area of her fair skin was exposed on her chest and slender arms. Her slightly curly hair was draped on both sides, and she also had a large black bow in her hair.

Whether in terms of facial features or figure, Liu Menglu definitely fulfilled all men’s fantasies about a girlfriend.

Shen Yuan was about to go up and greet her, but unexpectedly, the G-Wagen man beat him to it.

“Menglu, you’re finally off work. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Let’s go, let’s go have dinner together.”

Seeing this man, Liu Menglu was also used to it and showed a faint smile:

“Fan Zhenguang, sorry, I’m having dinner with a friend today, and I just sent you a WeChat message about it.”

A woman like Liu Menglu naturally did not lack suitors. Many trainers in the gym who thought they were well-off, as well as many male members, had pursued her.

She would reject anyone she felt was not worthy of being kept in her fish pond, so when it came to rejection, she was also an expert.

Fan Zhenguang was a rich second-generation who drove a G-Wagen and was also a premium member of their gym. He had bought many classes from her and was indeed very rich. He used to be the number one big fish in her fish pond.

But after Shen Yuan appeared, Fan Zhenguang could only be relegated to the number two position.

Although on the surface, the G500 was more than a million more expensive than the Defender, from Liu Menglu’s contact with him,

Fan Zhenguang’s G500 was bought with his parents’ help, and the Rolex Green Submariner was also bought by his parents during the New Year. In fact, the money he could control himself was very limited, at most tens of thousands in pocket money each month.

But Shen Yuan was different. Although he drove a 900,000 Defender, he could casually spend 3 million on a house. This showed that his net worth was definitely more than 3 million, at least in the tens of millions, and possibly even more.

For example, a man has 2 million, and he is willing to give you all 2 million; while another man has 20 million, and he can only give you 200,000 for the time being.

In this situation, most women would choose the latter.

However, although there was a gap between Fan Zhenguang and Shen Yuan, his conditions were actually quite good among ordinary people. It was precisely because of this that Liu Menglu still wanted to keep him on the hook and rejected him so politely.

Fan Zhenguang was not discouraged. “It’s okay, I can go with you guys. I’ll treat you to lunch.”

“As long as your friend doesn’t mind.”

Fan Zhenguang added.

“I mind.”

Shen Yuan finally stood up at this moment and said with a smile, “Sorry, old brother, I don’t like to eat with people who drive G-Wagens.”

Liu Menglu was slightly taken aback. ‘You don’t want to eat with him, what does that have to do with him driving a G-Wagen?’

“Sorry…”

Liu Menglu apologized politely again, then got into the passenger seat of Shen Yuan’s car.

Fan Zhenguang stood there, obviously not having reacted. He stared blankly as Liu Menglu got into the passenger seat of the Defender, and didn’t understand even after the car had driven several hundred meters away.

‘The woman I couldn’t get with a G-Wagen was gotten by a guy with a Defender?’

“Let’s go, little brother Shen Yuan, let’s go eat first.”

Liu Menglu said with a smile in the car, “I know a barbecue place nearby that’s pretty good. Want to try it?”

“Sure, you give the directions.”

Shen Yuan nodded.

While giving directions, Liu Menglu also said, “This Fan Zhenguang is a premium member of our gym. He’s spent a lot of money. His family is very rich. That G500 cost over 2 million to get on the road.”

Liu Menglu paused here.

Shen Yuan turned to look at her. “And then?”

“He’s been pursuing me for a long time, but I’ve never agreed.”

Liu Menglu said.

“Oh.”

Shen Yuan replied faintly.

Seeing that Shen Yuan had no reaction, Liu Menglu was a little unhappy and puffed out her pink cheeks. “Why are you so quiet today? You’re not like your usual self.”

“What should I say?”

Shen Yuan glanced to his right and found that Liu Menglu looked a little gloomy.

In fact, he of course knew what Liu Menglu was thinking. It was nothing more than telling him that she had more than one choice and other excellent suitors.

The purpose of doing this was to make him feel a sense of crisis.

If he showed that he cared, he would fall into Liu Menglu’s trap.

Shen Yuan would of course not fall for it. The more he acted like he didn’t care now, the more Liu Menglu would feel insecure.
