After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Does His Family Dig for Diamonds in Africa?

TL: YYang

The five of them took their seats in the reserved private room. Shen Yuan noticed that there was another beautiful girl present.

This girl was wearing a long dress, looking graceful and elegant. Her fair skin was so delicate it seemed it would break at the slightest touch. However, the dress was slightly loose, so it was impossible to see the good scenery inside.

Not like Coach Liu, who, whenever she went out to play, would always dress in a way that highlighted her own huge advantages.

However, this girl seemed to have rarely been to such occasions. She sat there properly and didn’t look around.

And Liu Menglu also noticed that there was a girl at the dinner party who was no less beautiful than herself. She couldn’t see her figure clearly, but her looks and temperament were there, which gave her a faint sense of crisis.

Wan Renmin first asked about Shen Yuan and Liu Menglu’s dietary restrictions, then ordered the wine and dishes. After doing all this, he introduced them at the right time:

“President Shen, I forgot to introduce you. This is our company’s design assistant, Su Xuewei.”

“Hello, President Shen.”

Su Xuewei stood up stiffly and extended her hand to Shen Yuan a little awkwardly.

“Hello.”

Shen Yuan shook hands with Su Xuewei lightly.

‘Mmm, her skin is soft and tender.’

Liu Menglu felt a little jealous in her heart, but she had no relationship with Shen Yuan at all and had no right to interfere.

However, Wan Renmin bringing such a beautiful design assistant out to dinner, combined with the question he had just asked, Liu Menglu also got a taste of what was going on.

‘This old thing is really not a good bird!’

Wan Renmin sat next to Shen Yuan, and the two of them chatted idly about this and that. The topics were also quite broad, from national affairs to trivial matters of people’s livelihood, Shen Yuan could chat with him about some of them.

It wasn’t until the first dish was served that Wan Renmin called the waiter over to open the wine.

Wan Renmin ordered two bottles of wine. After filling Shen Yuan’s glass, he said, “President Shen, let’s not talk about business today. The main thing is to make friends. I’ll toast you first!”

“Okay, President Wan.”

Shen Yuan clinked glasses with Wan Renmin and took a small sip.

Next, Fu Zhengmei also came over to toast Shen Yuan, and Su Xuewei followed behind, walking over timidly and clinking glasses with Shen Yuan somewhat unskillfully. “President Shen, I… I’ll toast you.”

“Okay.”

Shen Yuan agreed one by one. He thought to himself that his alcohol tolerance was still there, and his time spent in nightclubs in the past was not in vain.

Liu Menglu saw that Shen Yuan was enthusiastically clinking glasses with everyone and also suggested, “Little President Shen, shall we have a drink too?”

Shen Yuan shook his head. “You shouldn’t drink. Otherwise, who will drive later.”

Liu Menglu tilted her head and said playfully, “It’s okay, we can call a designated driver later.”

“As you wish.”

Everyone ate the dishes, and as they pushed glasses and changed cups, they all became a little red-faced. Shen Yuan and Wan Renmin were both old hands at drinking. Except for their faces getting a little flushed, they were otherwise fine. However, Su Xuewei’s face was pale, and she looked a little uncomfortable.

Shen Yuan was not sure at first why Wan Renmin had brought an intern like Su Xuewei here. Now he probably understood a little.

When Su Xuewei came over to toast again, Shen Yuan pointed to the teacup. “You can drink tea, it’s okay.”

“Uh…”

Su Xuewei was taken aback and couldn’t help but cast a questioning glance at Wan Renmin.

Wan Renmin said with a smile, “Listen to President Shen. He’s concerned that you can’t drink.”

“Thank you, President Shen.”

Su Xuewei’s cheeks flushed, and she said softly.

“You’re welcome.”

“President Shen, Xuewei is from Nanzhong University. She’s a senior this year and hasn’t graduated yet. She should be about the same age as you. You young people have similar interests and hobbies, so you can communicate more.”

Wan Renmin said with a smile, then looked at Su Xuewei. “Add President Shen on WeChat. It’s always good to get to know a young talent like him.”

Liu Menglu couldn’t help but roll her eyes. The old fox had finally shown his tail. He said he wouldn’t talk about business, but in fact, he was paving the way for business everywhere.

What was the difference between this and pimping?

Shen Yuan sighed silently. It seemed that no matter where the workplace was, this kind of unspoken rule could not be avoided. This Old Wan was also a bad egg, making a girl who was still a virgin come out to socialize.

“But it’s a good thing she met an honest person like me from the ten miles and eight villages today. The result won’t be too bad.”

Shen Yuan thought to himself, took out his phone, opened the WeChat QR code, and let Su Xuewei scan it.

Nanzhong University was the best double first-class university in Xiangnan Province, not in the same league as the Foreign Economics College at all. Those who could get into Nanzhong were bound to be top students.

Although Shen Xuan said she wanted to aim for Tsinghua and Peking University, Shen Yuan felt that it would be very good for his sister to get into Nanzhong.

“Uncle Wan!”

At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, followed by a familiar voice.

Lin Guangyao walked in with a wine glass, his face flushed. “Uncle Wan, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a drink with you. I’m taking the liberty of coming over to toast you a few times tonight.”

It was common to run into acquaintances at a restaurant and do this kind of thing, going from room to room to toast.

Of course, the main reason was that Lin Guangyao wanted to curry favor with this “prospective” father-in-law, hoping that he would say a few good words for him in front of that doctor daughter.

“Good, Xiao Yao, you’re very thoughtful.”

Wan Renmin stood up and clinked glasses with him, responding with a smile. He also introduced him to everyone present, “This is my little nephew, Lin Guangyao.”

“There are two colleagues from my company here, and two clients.”

Wan Renmin gave a brief introduction, and at the same time, he gestured towards Shen Yuan and said, “This is President Shen. Speaking of which, he’s about the same age as you. You can go and toast him, get to know each other.”

“Okay.”

An elder introducing a distinguished guest to him showed that Wan Renmin thought highly of him. And a guest that Wan Renmin personally waited for at the door must be of high value.

Lin Guangyao thought to himself that this kind of person was worth getting to know. Although he might not be able to use him, he would have another connection to brag about next time.

Lin Guangyao was about to walk over with his wine glass, but after seeing the person’s face clearly, his gaze suddenly froze.

‘Shen Yuan, why is this son of a bitch here?’

Shen Yuan didn’t expect to meet Lin Guangyao here, and in such a dramatic scene. He waved at him with a smile. “Come on, let’s have a drink?”

Lin Guangyao’s mouth twitched. He suddenly remembered that he had been sprayed in the face by Shen Yuan at this very restaurant last time.

What fucking bad luck!

Lin Guangyao also couldn’t understand why Shen Yuan had become Wan Renmin’s guest of honor. But to ask him to toast him, wasn’t that the same as asking him to lick Shen Yuan’s stinky feet?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

“You know each other?”

Wan Renmin sensed that something was not right.

Shen Yuan nodded with a smile. “We’re acquainted.”

“Haha, what a coincidence.”

Wan Renmin said with a smile, “Xiao Yao, you don’t know yet, do you? This friend of yours bought a villa in Green Town Qingzhu Lake and is going to spend 20 million on decoration.”

“?”

A big question mark immediately appeared in Lin Guangyao’s mind.

What the hell?

This scoundrel Shen Yuan bought a villa and is going to spend 20 million on decoration?

Last time he saw Shen Yuan invest 700,000 in Li Yuhang’s clear bar, it was still within his acceptable range. After all, Shen Yuan’s family used to be wealthy, and their foundation was still there. They could definitely scrape it together.

But now, buying a villa and spending 20 million on decoration, what the hell was that?

The last time they had dinner was just a week ago, right? How did he get so much money so quickly?

Did his family dig for diamonds in Africa?

Lin Guangyao’s first reaction was that it was impossible. But Wan Renmin, the dignified boss of Guanting Decoration, was personally accompanying him for a drink. Could this be fake?

The Uncle Wan he had tried so hard to please was actually trying hard to please him?

Damn it, he was on the first level, while he was on the third level!

Lin Guangyao couldn’t help but swallow. In such a short period of time, had the gap between him and Shen Yuan reached such a point of being worlds apart?

“Shen Yuan, what a coincidence, congratulations!”

Lin Guangyao hesitated for a few seconds in his heart and immediately decided to lower his proud head and toast Shen Yuan.

‘If I have to lick, then I’ll lick!’

‘The man Wan Renmin needs to lick, it’s definitely right for me to follow suit and lick!’

‘I offended him last time. Let’s see if I can turn this impression around. Not to say re-establish a friendship, but at least not let Shen Yuan hold a grudge.’

“It is quite a coincidence, Young Master Lin.”

Shen Yuan said with a smile. He was very satisfied with Lin Guangyao’s ability to judge the situation.

This kind of person really changed his face faster than flipping a book. But Shen Yuan still preferred his previous arrogant and conceited appearance.

Lin Guangyao’s eyelids twitched. Usually, others called him that, but this time, Shen Yuan’s call was particularly harsh.

“You’re joking, Shen Yuan, oh no, I should call you President Shen now.”

Lin Guangyao said with a face full of smiles.

“It’s fine.”

Shen Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly.

“Will you have a housewarming party when you move? Please invite us to visit the big villa then.”

Lin Guangyao continued to chat, seeing if there was a chance to return to his previous relationship with Shen Yuan.

After all, the two of them had drunk together with their arms around each other’s shoulders before.

‘If you get rich, don’t forget me!’

“It’s still early, we’ll talk about it then.”

Shen Yuan replied perfunctorily. He thought to himself that he had originally given him some face, but he didn’t expect him to push his luck.

“Okay, okay.”

Lin Guangyao knew he had made a fool of himself. He clinked glasses with Wan Renmin again, and then left the private room.

After three rounds of drinks, Wan Renmin suggested going to the second half to continue the fun. He felt that the atmosphere tonight was good, and with a second half, this order was basically secured.

“President Shen, do you prefer to go to a bar or sing karaoke?”

Shen Yuan glanced at Liu Menglu beside him. “Coach Liu, are you going?”

“I…”

Liu Menglu hesitated. She was not used to staying up late and drinking. She had originally planned to go back after dinner. As a senior fitness coach, a regular schedule was a basic element of maintaining her figure.

Seeing Liu Menglu’s hesitation, Shen Yuan simply said, “You shouldn’t go. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy.”

Liu Menglu looked at Shen Yuan, then at Su Xuewei. If she didn’t go, Shen Yuan might be seduced by other vixens.

Although she had enough confidence in herself, Shen Yuan was now a walking Tang Monk. If another vixen came to share a piece of his flesh, she would also have to eat less.

This was not acceptable!

“I’m going!”

Liu Menglu said firmly. Anyway, she was just going to have fun, it would be fine if she didn’t drink.

“Sigh~”

Shen Yuan sighed helplessly and turned to Wan Renmin. “President Wan, let’s do karaoke. I don’t like bars either. You arrange it.”

“Okay!”
