"Advisor, if there's someone or a company willing to invest, is it the investor who assesses the student receiving the investment, or the school?"
Before making a decision, Shen Yuan wanted to clarify the situation so he wouldn't end up having his invested money being controlled by the school.
"Theoretically, the assessment should be by the school, but the current situation is that we are unable to attract investors, so there is considerable room for negotiation."
Lih Xiao, a member of the project team, understood the situation well but was puzzled why Shen Yuan would ask this:
"What's the matter?"
Shen Yuan no longer had any reservations and smiled faintly, "I want to invest in this project."
"???"
Lih Xiao looked up blankly, with a look on her face as if she was seeing someone foolish inside, "Have you been watching 'The Richest Man in Xihong City' too much, getting too immersed?"
"I really want to invest, but I have a condition, which is that I want to assess the student receiving the investment."
"Shen Yuan, this isn't something to joke about."
Lih Xiao still couldn't believe it but Shen Yuan thought it was normal.
After all, in Lih Xiao's view, he was just a poor student whose family had gone bankrupt, even the kind that needed to apply for financial aid.
In the end, Shen Yuan simply pulled up his bank app balance to show her, "Advisor, count how many zeros there are here."
Shen Yuan now had over twenty million, ten million of which was investment capital, and the rest was his savings.
He now had this money stored in two cards, one card only held exclusive investment funds, and the other card held the rest of his money.
What he was showing Lih Xiao was the card that held the ten million investment exclusives.
Since the System had released a Prestige mission, there was absolutely no need to keep a low profile, but rather to be high-profile to gain more Prestige.
"Sorry, I'm laying all my cards on the table, I'm actually a millionaire."
Lih Xiao looked at Shen Yuan skeptically, realizing he didn't seem to be joking, then leaned over to check the balance.
When she saw the length of the digits, Lih Xiao's eyes widened involuntarily, as her bank card had never shown such a long string of numbers.
She instinctively started counting, 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.....
There were seven zeros in total!
Hiss....
That was actually ten million!
What does ten million mean? Lih Xiao, a university teacher, earned about 6000-7000 a month, and with various performance bonuses, at most had an annual salary of 100,000.
Even if she maintained this income without eating or spending on anything until retirement, she would only make at most three million.
That is to say, even if she worked until she was a hundred years old, she wouldn't make as much money!
Lih Xiao took a sharp intake of breath, her face filled with disbelief, "Shen Yuan... how do you have so much money?"
"The family travel agency was doing poorly, so it closed down; I had too many fair-weather friends, and it was a good time to filter out some friends. Besides, my family has other business ventures, and I also trade in Bitcoin and foreign exchange, all the money I made myself."
Shen Yuan had thought of these excuses beforehand.
Trading Bitcoin and foreign exchange were relatively easy ways to make money; this explanation was very reasonable, and Ms. Li and Old Shen hadn't thought much about it last time.
The series of digits shook Lih Xiao quite a bit; she hadn't yet recovered from the shock, finding it unimaginable that her student had turned into a millionaire.
It was too surreal!
"Advisor, why don't you come work with me, ensuring you enjoy a luxurious life~"
Shen Yuan said teasingly with a grin.
"Don't talk nonsense..."
"Old Third, is what Ye Zhiyang said true?"
As soon as Huang Haibao saw Shen Yuan coming in, he immediately couldn't hold back and asked, "He said you drive a Land Rover now, and you even have a mistress on the side?"
Huang Haibao had planned to play a few rounds in the canyon at noon but didn't expect Ye Zhiyang to come over for a rare visit and chat today.
In university, it's actually quite common for students to hop from one dorm room to another, but Ye Zhiyang rarely did so.
The shocking content of what Ye Zhiyang said could literally drop their jaws.
Ye Zhiyang even said he saw Shen Yuan driving a Land Rover yesterday and also spending 300,000 to set up a gorgeous woman with a coffee shop.
Huang Haibao thought this was ludicrous; he shared a room with Shen Yuan every day along with Old Cao, so how could he not know whether he had money or not?
Driving a Land Rover and keeping a mistress?
That was just utterly absurd!
Shen Yuan retorted, "Ye Zhiyang, stop talking nonsense."
"I knew it! How could Old Third keep a Land Rover from us," said Huang Haibao confidently, his heart immediately settling.
Cao Shunjin also disdainfully said, "Ye Zhiyang, you really need to watch your mouth, spouting nonsense all day long!"
Ye Zhiyang's face went red in an instant, "No, I really saw it yesterday!"
"Shen Yuan, explain yourself!"
"What's there to explain!"
Shen Yuan was slightly annoyed. "I did drive a Land Rover, but when did I keep a mistress, don't talk nonsense!"
Shen Yuan was somewhat irked by Ye Zhiyang's big mouth; if this got out, wouldn't his reputation at the International campus be completely ruined?
Let's not even mention whether there would be issues with the class belle, even the entrepreneurial base might not be possible to manage. The university definitely wouldn't allow a student with such a scandal to invest.
Even if he could invest, and the project could take off, if those senior girls and junior girls knew there was such a lecherous investor, they wouldn't dare to come forward to start a business!
Ye Zhiyang was momentarily stunned, then quickly shot Shen Yuan a "I get it" look.
Men understand; the matter of keeping a mistress isn't something you talk about openly, right?
Huang Haibao suddenly felt uneasy and stood up abruptly, "No way? Old Third, you really drive a Land Rover?"
Cao Shunjin's expression changed as well, "The Land Rover Defender, doesn't that mid-range model cost 900,000 to land?"
"I'll come clean now, I'm a multimillionaire now~"
Shen Yuan decided not to put on a façade anymore, pulled out his car keys, and threw them to Huang Haibao. Anyway, once the entrepreneurial base got going, not just Old Huang and Old Cao but probably the whole university would know.
There was no need to keep a low profile anymore.
Huang Haibao was flustered and nearly didn't catch the car keys; he cupped the keys in his hands and looked at them, utterly incredulous, "Damn, it really is a Land Rover!"
Cao Shunjin also couldn't help but come over to take a look. Indeed, there was a Land Rover logo on the back of the key.
Shen Yuan was slightly worried, "Ye Zhiyang, you haven't told anyone else about this, have you?"
"I haven't, I haven't. I just told you guys because I really couldn't keep it in anymore and came to room 503. You know our dorm; Li Zhanpeng can't stand these kinds of things," Ye Zhiyang said with a smile.
Actually, he and Li Zhanpeng got along quite well, mainly because of his family background, but now it seemed, clenching onto Shen Yuan was clearly the better choice!
A 900,000 car bought on a whim, a 300,000 coffee shop snapped up lightly; those were some solid legs to cling on to!
"There's no such thing as keeping a mistress; that was my investment in a coffee shop, and our relationship is purely business," Shen Yuan explained.
This kind of thing had to be kept low-key, otherwise it could seriously affect his re-choosing rights at the International campus.
Although Li Zhanpeng did see it yesterday, given his face-saving nature, he definitely wouldn't spread the news of another man's splendid deeds.
Ye Zhiyang revealed a mischievous smile, "I get it, I get it."
Shen Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes internally, thinking, You don't get anything at all, if you did, why the hell would you go around blabbering everywhere?
