"Old Third, where did you get so much money from?"
Huang Haibao gradually calmed down, slowly coming to terms with the fact that his good brother had become a multimillionaire, and even feeling quite proud.
Damn, my brother is a multimillionaire!
"Made a fortune from Bitcoin and foreign exchange before."
Shen Yuan replied casually.
This time, Shen Yuan's explanation was much more succinct.
He had shown Lih Xiao his account balance to convince her of his investment capabilities, but he didn't need to go into too much detail with the others.
"Damn, awesome!"
Ye Zhiyang couldn't help but send a look of admiration.
He often followed the finance and investment sector and knew how many times Bitcoin had multiplied, making those who bought it rich!
"Old Third, I never expected you to be so damn crafty."
Cao Shunjin couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, while Huang Haibao said, "Old Third, when are you starting your company? Hire me as your CEO when you do!"
Cao Shunjin puffed out his chest: "I can be your CFO!"
Shen Yuan replied with irritation, "I think you guys are suited to be UFO instead!"
"One of you is a smart aleck and the other is Zhuang Qiang; I dare not hire you."
Huang Haibao somewhat disagreed: "Old Third, that's not nice to say. Although there's a bit of gambling in Big Smartie's actions, he instantly helped Wang Duoyu make a billion. Can you say he's not capable?"
"Alright, alright, we'll see how you two perform then."
Shen Yuan just finished lunch and felt sleepy, so he replied perfunctorily before climbing into his bed, ready to have a nice nap.
"Old Third, you'll be sleeping in the dorm tonight, right? I'm going to chat with Tian Yuping later tonight; you can give me some advice then."
Huang Haibao looked up and asked.
Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin had slowly come to accept Shen Yuan frequently not returning at night.
Even though the thought of the class belle possibly sharing a blanket with him still hurt, he now had a new goal and decided to turn his sorrow into strength.
Given Shen Yuan's wealth of dating experience and his quiet conquest of the class belle, Huang Haibao believed that Shen Yuan, this cunning strategist, could definitely help.
"Should be, I guess."
Shen Yuan replied from his bed, but he wasn't sure; Fang Minhui might call him out for a frozen drink again.
As for Chen Na, probably not, since she's conservative.
"But dude, didn't you like the class belle? Why did you change targets?"
Tian Yuping was the second prettiest girl in International Trade Class 2, right after Fang Minhui.
If compared with Fang Minhui, she was just less attractive, with smaller assets and a thicker waist.
Moreover, Tian Yuping's style was more mature and seductive than Fang Minhui's innocent desire.
Honestly, through three years of college, Shen Yuan hadn't even memorized all of his classmates' names. Sometimes, when he encountered a classmate on the street, he recognized the face but couldn't remember their name to greet them.
However, Shen Yuan did remember all the pretty girls in the class quite well.
"Old Third, stop talking about the class belle,"
Huang Haibao said with a look of melancholy, "The class belle only has eyes for you now. What's the use of my affection for her?"
"Well... that's true..."
That...
Ye Zhiyang seemed to have heard some juicy news, instinctively gaping.
The class belle Fang Minhui got taken by Shen Yuan too?
My god!
The girl who spoke was Cong Xiaoyi. She shared a class and dorm room with Tian Yuping. However, her style of dress was not as bold, and she went without makeup, wearing only a plain T-shirt and jeans, but her appearance was sweet and endearing.
"Are you stupid? Why would I go on a date with him alone? What if people see us and get the wrong idea?"
"Besides, I never said I would meet him by myself."
Tian Yuping said ambivalently. In her mind, since such a man was relentlessly pursuing her, she might as well take advantage of him with her friends. That way, he might think twice before bothering her again.
Cong Xiaoyi felt that this was inappropriate and suggested, "Actually, I think we could have a dorm gathering. Isn't he in the same dorm as Shen Yuan?"
"Shen Yuan actually looks pretty handsome, and he's over 180 cm tall. Besides, he has already broken up with the senior."
Cong Xiaoyi added thoughtfully.
"Xiaoyi, you're already a junior, how can you still be so impractical? Shen Yuan's family has gone bankrupt; he's penniless now."
"And why would you want to pick up someone's discarded second-hand goods?"
The speaker was Kwan Yongzhen. Her style was similar to Tian Yuping's—bold makeup and revealing clothes—but her looks were slightly inferior to Tian Yuping's and Cong Xiaoyi's.
"Right? Didn't you all see? He didn't attend the class dinner last time, and lately, he hasn't even been attending lectures."
Tian Yuping agreed with Kwan Yongzhen's opinion, "Clearly, he's fragile and can't handle the pressure. He's afraid to come out and be hurt."
"Plus, now that Shen Yuan is so poor, anyone who gets with him would be totally out of luck. Not to mention wanting to buy handbags and such, I think even buying cosmetics and skincare products would be tough."
Kwan Yongzhen nodded, "That's true, he definitely can't afford your expenses."
At that moment, Tian Yuping suddenly thought of an interesting point and chuckled, covering her mouth, "Who knows? Maybe he's working part-time at some corner to make tuition."
"Haha, actually, that might be the case."
Thinking about the former rich second-generation possibly washing dishes or waiting tables in the corner of some small diner, Kwan Yongzhen found the idea amusing.
"Hey, look, it's Shen Yuan~"
Just then, Cong Xiaoyi spotted a familiar figure and pointed it out.
Tian Yuping and Kwan Yongzhen turned to look and indeed saw a tall and slender figure in a simple white T-shirt and baggy jeans, with a pair of white Nikes.
"It really is Shen Yuan."
Tian Yuping couldn't help but say, "He's not really coming to work a part-time job, is he? It's just past 3 p.m., which is about the time when restaurants start getting ready."
"Why don't you ask him? See which store he's working part-time at."
Kwan Yongzhen egged her on with a smile.
Cong Xiaoyi was somewhat troubled, "Is that appropriate? We're all classmates; there's really no need."
"Xiaoyi, you don't understand."
Tian Yuping was also excited, thinking about Shen Yuan once dating the flight attendant senior with his flashy BMW, and comparing it to his current situation working part-time, she felt a distinct thrill.
"Hey!"
Tian Yuping called out and raised her head to ask, "Shen Yuan, why didn't you come to the dinner last time?"
Kwan Yongzhen crossed her arms and looked Shen Yuan up and down, "Have you been busy working part-time lately? At which store? We should also drop by to support."
Shen Yuan had been planning to go to the MS coffee shop and didn't expect to run into several female classmates, one of whom was Old Huang's new flame, Tian Yuping.
He had intended to greet them, but their tone was clearly condescending, and their questions were plainly ridiculous.
A part-time job? As if he needed that.
What was Old Huang thinking, fancying this kind of person?
Did he really have to put up with this kind of bullshit?
Shen Yuan wasn't the type to engage in conflicts, but since they were stepping on his face, he wouldn't just let it slide.
"That's right, I'm working part-time at the coffee shop. Would you like to come and have a cup of coffee at my workplace?"
"....."
