Chapter 89: The Spear Comes Out Like a Dragon!
TL: YYang
As everyone knows, to be good at the sport of poker, besides the accumulation of experience, one relies even more on talent.
Without talent, all techniques are useless.
A smart girl might play along with you, but a more direct girl would probably just roll her eyes uncontrollably.
Immediately, Shen Yuan clicked “Use.”
Shen Yuan let Chen Na rest for a while longer while he went to take a shower. After coming out of the shower, he checked the other two rewards.
[5 Million Automobile Consumption Fund]
[Exclusive Skill Pack Exchange Card × 1]
The first one needed no further explanation; Shen Yuan had used it before. However, the amount this time was a full 4 million more than before. With this budget, he could buy most of the luxury cars and supercars on the market.
Anyway, he had a car to drive now, so he wasn’t in a hurry to change.
Shen Yuan was more interested in the second one. He subconsciously opened the backpack and clicked on the “Exclusive Skill Pack Exchange Card” to view the details.
[Junior Cooking Skill, Junior Fighting Skill, Junior Appliance Repair, Junior Racing Skill, Junior Haircutting Skill, Junior Basketball Skill, Junior Dancing Skill, …]
[Note: This skill exchange card can be exchanged for any of the above skills, effective immediately.]
Shen Yuan understood at once. So it was these skills.
However, he could understand the ones like fighting and appliance repair, but what the hell was haircutting?
If he wanted a haircut, he could just go to a salon. Even with this skill, he couldn’t do his own hair. Was he supposed to apply for a job as a stylist named Tony at a salon one day?
This skill was quite useless.
Shen Yuan directly ignored this skill and carefully examined the others.
Shen Yuan was more interested in fighting and appliance repair.
Although it was a society ruled by law now, having a self-defense skill was always better. He also considered that he had so many women to protect.
Secondly, there was appliance repair. Who knew, maybe one day Counselor Li Xiao’s range hood would break, or her TV would break, and with this skill, he could go over and help her fix it.
There was no rush to redeem these skills. He could just click to use them when needed.
Through this reward, Shen Yuan also summarized a pattern: the reward for the second NPC was richer than the first, which meant there was a high probability that the third NPC’s reward would be even richer than the previous two.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan was already looking forward to the next female knight whose Favorability would reach 90.
While Shen Yuan was seriously looking at these skills, Chen Na’s phone suddenly rang. It was already 10 o’clock, and normally no one would call unless it was urgent.
“Hello, Mom.”
Chen Na was groggy, answering the phone while lying in bed.
“…”
“What?!”
Chen Na shot up from the bed.
“…”
“Is it serious? I’m coming back right now!”
Chen Na’s face was full of worry and urgency.
“…”
“Can you handle it alone? Is my sister there?”
“…”
“Then, okay, I’ll head back first thing tomorrow morning.”
“…”
“Is there enough money? Do you need me to send some over?”
“…”
“Okay, then you must tell me immediately if anything happens.”
After hanging up, Chen Na was a bit choked up. She burrowed into the quilt, covering her head. Soon, the sound of sobbing came from under the covers.
Shen Yuan knew something must have happened at Nana’s home for her to react so strongly. He walked to the bedside and sat down, slowly pulling the quilt down a bit. Inside was a charming face stained with tears.
Shen Yuan’s heart ached seeing her like this. He pulled her into his arms and said gently, “What’s wrong? Can you tell me?”
“Mmm…”
Chen Na’s face was covered in tears, and she spoke intermittently. “My dad… my dad had a stroke from drinking and is in the hospital. My mom is with him at the hospital now. He already had high blood pressure.”
“It’s… it’s all my fault. They’ve been asking me to come home for blind dates recently. I didn’t want to go, so I kept putting it off and didn’t go back.”
“If I had been a bit more filial and gone back to deal with the blind date, I could have reminded my dad, and maybe he wouldn’t have drunk so much…”
Chen Na cried even more sadly, her face full of self-blame and regret.
In fact, this matter had nothing to do with her, but she still took all the responsibility on herself. Shen Yuan’s heart ached even more, and he couldn’t help but hold her tighter.
“Do you want to go back now? I can drive you. I remember your home is in Ling County, right?” Shen Yuan asked.
Ling County was a county under Zhuzhou City, about 200 kilometers from Star City. It was only a little over a 2-hour drive on the highway.
Chen Na shook her head, sobbing. “My mom… my mom said it’s not safe to drive at night and told me to go back tomorrow morning.”
Shen Yuan gently stroked Chen Na’s smooth back. “Alright, then I’ll go back with you tomorrow.”
Feeling Shen Yuan’s care, Chen Na’s heart warmed up. It was just that their relationship was not official, and now that her father was sick, it wasn’t appropriate to bring him back.
Chen Na leaned against Shen Yuan’s chest and shook her head gently. “I’ll go back by myself. It’s okay.”
Shen Yuan also knew this was a bit presumptuous and didn’t insist. “Call me anytime if you need anything. If you’re short on money or need to transfer to another hospital, you can tell me.”
“Mmm-hmm.”
Chen Na felt a little better and nodded with a sob.
Shen Yuan couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss Chen Na’s forehead.
Among the current trio in his harem, Shen Yuan actually favored Chen Na the most. She wasn’t materialistic like Coach Liu, nor was she possessive like the class beauty.
She wanted very little.
The house and car were things he had forced on her. Speaking of which, even the coffee shop was something he had insisted on getting for her. She was always thinking about saving money for Shen Yuan, like when they were buying the house.
Chen Na still held fantasies about love and was quite sentimental.
It was also based on a certain level of Favorability that she started to get involved with Shen Yuan.
Most importantly, she was very sensible, clear about her position, and wouldn’t overstep her bounds. When faced with the Liu Menglu incident, even if she was wronged, she would cry and tell him that she would try her best to accept it.
How could Shen Yuan not love such a woman?
Shen Yuan gently wiped the tears from the corners of Chen Na’s eyes and slowly comforted her until it was almost 12 o’clock before they both fell into a deep sleep.
When Shen Yuan woke up the next day, it was already eight o’clock. Chen Na had already returned to Ling County, leaving a WeChat message: “Breakfast is being kept warm in the pot. You can eat it when you get up. I’m heading back to my hometown in Ling County first.”
Shen Yuan sighed silently. Nana was really something. She was in such a hurry to go home, yet she still made breakfast for him.
Then, he sent a WeChat message to Chen Na: “Where are you? How’s uncle? Keep me updated if anything happens.”
Thinking about it, he could also help improve Chen Na’s family’s conditions, like buying her parents a new house and a new car. Anyway, it could all be put under Nana’s name, a surefire profit.
But this would have to wait until her uncle got better.
Hopefully, everything would be alright!
While eating breakfast, Shen Yuan also received a video from Fu Yingzi.
It turned out she had no classes this morning and had taken a few people to clean the activity room. From the video, it could be seen that the old desks and chairs had been cleared out, and the floor and walls had been cleaned thoroughly.
Then she went to a furniture market and took pictures of several decent-looking mahogany office desks and chairs for Shen Yuan to see.
“This girl is not bad. Setting aside how well she does things, her positive attitude is very good.”
Shen Yuan couldn’t help but nod.
Such a positive and dedicated voice actress girl, it wouldn’t be bad to have her in the harem.
She could work, and she could ‘work’. Why not?
At the same time, at the Hongxing Furniture Market, Fu Yingzi was in a high-end office furniture store, selecting mahogany office desks and chairs.
Next to her stood Feng Zegui, the guy who had bought her milk tea yesterday.
Feng Zegui looked uncomprehending. “Yingzi, you’re a student cadre in the Youth League Committee, not his subordinate. Why are you running around for him?”
Fu Yingzi’s brows furrowed slightly. “I already told you not to follow me, but you insisted. Now you’re here nagging. Why don’t you just go back to school and not disturb me while I’m choosing office supplies.”
Feng Zegui immediately deflated, pleading, “Yingzi, don’t send me away.”
“I just don’t understand, why…”
“If you don’t understand, then don’t understand!”
Fu Yingzi cut him off directly, her tone as cold and distant as it was yesterday.
Feng Zegui’s heart grew cold. He never thought that his three years of bitterly pursuing Fu Yingzi would be no match for a guy she had just met a day ago.
Was it just because he was handsome and had some damn money?
What was so great about that!
Fu Yingzi herself was actually very clear-headed. The startup incubator was essentially a money-losing business. Since Shen Yuan could casually invest 10 million, it meant he was prepared to lose money.
In other words, he didn’t care about this 10 million at all.
So his net worth was at least in the hundreds of millions, maybe even billions!
The key was that he was the same age as her, only 21!
To have this kind of net worth at 21, what did that even mean?
Fu Yingzi could never have imagined that there would be such a top-tier tycoon right beside her!
And he was even in the same school and year as her!
She definitely couldn’t miss out on a man like this. Although he seemed to have a girlfriend, she could still stay by Shen Yuan’s side by showcasing her work abilities and other unique features and highlights.
This was a great opportunity to leap across social classes!
Fu Yingzi had originally thought she would only meet such a person after she started working. She never expected to meet one now.
Even if she couldn’t be his girlfriend, she could be his subordinate or secretary.
After all, with this kind of net worth, he definitely wouldn’t have just this one business.
