I am not just a tycoon

Three minutes later, Lin Yuchang finished her call and returned to the table.

There was a slight change in her expression, and though she tried to hide it, Shen Yuan could still tell.

Shen Yuan figured it might be possible that the marital relationship between her and her husband wasn't very harmonious.

But that was normal, Zeng Xianyong often indulged in pleasures outside, and Lin Yuchang wasn't a fool; she certainly could sense it.

Next, after signing the agreement with Lin Yuchang, he immediately transferred 250,000 to her.

From then on, MS Coffee became officially his property.

With 50,000 left in the investment fund, Shen Yuan transferred all of it to Chen Na, with 24,000 for her salary for the previous two months, and the remaining 26,000 as operating funds for the coffee shop.

Having interacted with her over the past few days, Shen Yuan trusted Chen Na's character and was confident in leaving the coffee shop entirely in her hands, preferring to be a hands-off owner.

[Ding!]

[Monitored that the host has fully invested the 1 million dedicated investment fund, completing the initial investment task, and has been promoted from investment novice to junior investor.]

[A perfect life should have a richer portfolio.]

[Task: The host will receive 10 million in dedicated investment funds to continue to expand investments.]

[Task Reward 1: All business income derived from investments will receive a threefold cashback.]

[Task Reward 2: After completing the investments, a mysterious asset will be acquired.]

Wow!

Shen Yuan's lips curled into a smile, not expecting the System to have prepared another surprise for him.

This time the investment fund was increased tenfold, allowing him to invest with 10 million!

And the bonus was upgraded from twice to three times, plus he would receive a mysterious asset.

Given the System's generosity, Shen Yuan thought the mysterious asset must be of considerable value.

He vividly remembered the reward from the last time on the class belle, which totalled more than seven million – six million from a lottery and one million in consumer funds.

Not to mention the special abilities; Shen Yuan felt they were beyond monetary measure.

After all, such abilities couldn't be bought with money.

"Mr. Shen, it's been a pleasure doing business with you."

Lin Yuchang had finished all the procedures and stood up to shake hands with Shen Yuan, "I need to go back now, hope to see you again sometime."

"Of course, we'll meet again."

Shen Yuan lightly held Lin Yuchang's hand and noticed that her skin was not only smooth but also pleasantly plump.

For some reason, ever since he learned she was Zeng Xianyong's wife, his gaze toward her had changed.

Although Lin Yuchang had already given birth, she still maintained herself very well, as could be seen from her slender, fair arms that obviously got regular exercise.

Her bust was tightly wrapped, but from a different angle, one could still perceive there was an impressive landscape within.

Lin Yuchang was slightly taken aback, not completely grasping the meaning of "we'll meet again."

But she realized that young people's ways of thinking tended to be more flexible, and perhaps this was a new way of saying goodbye.

"Goodbye."

After Lin Yuchang left, Shen Yuan checked the time on his phone and saw it was almost 5 o'clock, so he proposed that they leave for dinner. Read exclusive chapters at empire

Then, after saying goodbye to Xiaoqiu, the two prepared to head out. Before leaving, he took one more look around his new property from top to bottom.

The coffee shop had a small duplex structure, decorated in a vintage style, mostly with wooden fittings, and there were even two small private dining rooms on the second floor.

"So this is my coffee shop now."

Shen Yuan couldn't help but reflect inwardly as he scanned the place. During his scan, he noticed that one of the tables was occupied by a classmate of his.

Ye Zhiyang and Li Zhanpeng were there, and across from them sat two girls from the same grade.

Today must really be the day coincidence gave coincidence a helping hand.

Li Zhanpeng, noticing Shen Yuan's gaze, immediately looked down, pretending not to see. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiyang reached out his hand and took the initiative to wave: "Shen Yuan, what a coincidence."

Dammit, isn't this guy an idiot?

Li Zhanpeng complained inwardly, but now that hiding was no longer an option, he could only lift his head and pretend as if nothing was amiss.

However, he and Shen Yuan never got along, so initiating a greeting was out of the question.

"Ye Zhiyang, you guys are quite something, bringing beauties from other classes out for coffee."

Shen Yuan laughed it off, and Chen Na, hearing that these were Shen Yuan's classmates, also returned a polite smile.

Ye Zhiyang's eyelid twitched, thinking to himself, where do you get off being so cocky, when you're the one keeping a beauty from outside the school.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"We're off to have dinner, see you, bye."

Shen Yuan waved to the group then walked out of the café with Chen Na.

Li Zhanpeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that Shen Yuan, having just changed Defenders and recently taken over a café, would show off in front of them.

After all, everyone has a bit of vanity in them.

Now it seemed he had underestimated Shen Yuan.

Wei Yanyan and Weng Meiyun also felt that Shen Yuan was not like what Li Zhanpeng had described; in fact, he seemed quite graceful and didn't show off or boast.

What gave them a sense of defeat was that Shen Yuan hardly gave them a second glance just now.

But then again, when someone has such a top-notch beauty by his side, why would he give them a second look?

Thirty minutes later, Shen Yuan drove the Defender, taking Chen Na to the private dining room of Star Sushi.

It was the same place he had brought Fang Minhui before.

"Shen Yuan, do you come here often? The environment and service are really good."

Star Sushi was well-known in Star City and quite expensive. Chen Na had seen it on Xiaohongshu and Kuaishou but had never been before, so everything was novel to her.

The warm amber lighting, the sliding door of the private dining room, and the mats for sitting or kneeling all had their own unique charm.

"Sort of."

Shen Yuan felt a little embarrassed thinking about it; he had brought three different girls, from class belle Zhou Wanting to Fang Minhui, and now Chen Na, to the same restaurant.

Chen Na blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at Shen Yuan: "And who did you come with before?"

"With my sister."

Shen Yuan thought to himself that Fang Minhui was a few months younger than him, so she should count as a sister, right?

"You're lying!"

Chen Na remembered that the last time Shen Yuan took her shopping for bags he had said it was for his sister, and now he was using the sister excuse again for dinner. Was he always using his sister as a scapegoat?

Now Chen Na even doubted whether Shen Yuan really had a sister.

"....."

"Let's have a seat, the food here doesn't come out that quickly."

Shen Yuan quickly changed the subject and handed Chen Na a cushion.

Chen Na was wearing a short skirt today, unable to sit cross-legged like Shen Yuan, so she had to kneel down carefully, holding the back of her dress.

Her skirt was already short, and kneeling made it ride up even higher. Shen Yuan was sitting directly across from her and from his angle, he could even glimpse the nearly imperceptible shadow between her pristine white thighs.

This is too much to bear, just too much.

In the end, Shen Yuan couldn't resist such a test and finally gave in: "Chen Na, maybe you should sit next to me instead?"
