Chapter 53 : Xiaowan is awesome!

Back home, Su Lin immediately called out the system, ready to try his luck with the lottery.

“System, I want to draw a prize~!!”

[Host, just mentally think ‘draw a prize’.].

“Draw a prize.”

[Wow~! Legendary gold, congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill – State Banquet-Level Culinary Skills.].[Wow~! Legendary gold, congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill – God-Level Driving Skills.].

With two new skills in hand, Su Lin was quite pleased: “System, your chance of issuing gold is much higher than Tencent’s.”

System: “......”

“It’s a pity though, cooking and driving are somewhat unnecessary for me. Why would a young master like me cook himself? And driving? I have Uncle Liu for that. When will I get some real useful stuff?”

System: “.....”

Su Lin knew that complaining to the system wouldn’t elicit a response. He could only look forward to the next lottery.

After trying out his new skills, Su Lin found them uninteresting. He sent a message to ensure the girls were safe, then started preparing for the first supermarket.

......

With the arrival of a new week, everyone noticed that the recently famous Ye Feng hadn’t shown up at school. Various rumors started circulating.

Some said Ye Feng got into a fight with thugs outside the school and was hospitalized. Others speculated that he dropped out of school. Even wilder rumors claimed that Ye Feng got into legal trouble and was now in custody.

At Ye Feng’s home, Ye Feng’s father looked at him studying seriously and nodded in approval: “Xiaofeng, I’ve asked for three days off for you. Stay home and study for these three days. Once you can get out of bed, go back to school.”

“I understand, Dad~!!”

“Don’t think about starting a business again, okay? You can think about that after graduating from university. After you graduate, you can start any business you want, and I won’t stop you. For now, focus on your studies and get into a top university. That’s more important than anything else.”

Ye Feng remained silent. Though reluctant, he had to appease his father for now. His entrepreneurial plans would have to wait until the summer break or university.

Looking at the book in front of him, Ye Feng felt overwhelmed. Ever since he noticed his memory decline, it hadn’t improved. Memorizing now wasn’t as easy as before; he had to read passages multiple times to remember them. What frightened him more was that the knowledge he had memorized was slowly fading if he didn’t reinforce it.

“Alright, Lin-ge, you can rest assured. As long as it’s something you’ve arranged, I’ll definitely handle it well.”

Su Lin nodded in satisfaction. He had brought Chen Yang in to manage the company precisely because this guy was capable and would strictly execute his tasks. Such talents were not easy to find.

After chatting with Chen Yang, Su Lin turned to Lin Xiaowan, “Xiaowan, how long do you think it’ll take for your side to be settled?”

Lin Xiaowan raised two fingers, “At most five days, it should be a done deal in five days.”

“Oh? You think you can convince them in five days? Care to share the method you’re using?”

Su Lin was curious when he saw the mischievous look in Lin Xiaowan’s eyes. She seemed to be silently saying, “Ask me, ask me. If you ask, I’ll tell you.’

Su Lin wouldn’t let this cute Lin Xiaowan down and cooperated, ‘Xiaowan, I’m quite interested in knowing.”

“Hehe~! Actually, the method is quite simple. Just find out their pros and cons, and then prescribe the right remedy.”

“For example?”

“For example, they use well water instead of tap water, but last year the city prohibited well digging. Also, they have two sons who are at the age to get married. Although buying a house in Zhongjiang is not expensive, it’s still not cheap.”

“And they can’t possibly give one of those buildings to each son as a wedding house. So, selling it and buying a house would be the best outcome.”

“Furthermore, their building’s location isn’t good, in the middle of Zhongjiang Avenue and Xingfu Avenue. While it’s a prime location for doing business, it’s noisy for residential purposes, especially at night with garbage trucks and cement mixers. There’s more...”

Su Lin was stunned after hearing Lin Xiaowan list so many problems. That location could be considered one of the best in the Jiangning district, but when Lin Xiaowan described it, it sounded utterly worthless. Su Lin thought that if he were the one, he’d want to sell it immediately.

“Xiaowan, listening to you, I feel like living there would be like hell,” Xia Shiyu said with a shiver.

“Hehe, that’s the effect I’m going for. Shiyu, if you were them, would you move?”

Xia Shiyu nodded firmly, “If it were me, I’d definitely move.”

Su Lin gave Lin Xiaowan a thumbs-up. “Xiaowan, you’re amazing.”

Lin Xiaowan blinked at him, looking a little proud. Su Lin chuckled.
