Chapter 13 - Money Tree

Chapter 13 - Money Tree

Zhou Wanting stared blankly, her eyes filled with disbelief, thinking she must have misheard.

Buy two bags? Shen Yuan's family had gone bankrupt, sold their car and house to pay off debts, where would he get money to buy anything? Hou Jun found it even more impossible, especially since the beautiful woman beside them had just paid for their taxi.

They continued watching with skeptical eyes, but unexpectedly, Shen Yuan simply waved his hand: "No need to inspect them, just prepare the invoice."

"Ah, yes, of course!"

Alisa hadn't even processed what was happening, but felt an irrepressible excitement surge within her as she quickly complied.

What a big spender! A true big spender! This was a genuine wealthy patron, decisive and straightforward! While Zhou Wanting and Hou Jun watched with their mouths agape, Shen Yuan swiped his card, completing the payment in one smooth motion.

"Shen Yuan, didn't your family go bankrupt? Where did you get the money?"

Zhou Wanting couldn't hold back anymore and demanded harshly.

"None of your damn business."

Shen Yuan was signing the receipt and replied coldly.

"You didn't take out a loan, did you?"

Hou Jun had been thinking carefully, if Shen Yuan's family was bankrupt, this was the only explanation that made sense.

No money at home, but borrowing to show off and impress girls.

Such news was common in society. Hou Jun had seen plenty of people who bankrupted their families to donate to streamers, and even some who embezzled public funds to wine and dine women before getting reported.

How pathetic!

"Ah yes, yes, I took out a loan. Think whatever you want."

Shen Yuan handed the pen back to Alisa, then turned to Hou Jun with a smile: "Boss, since you're not short on money, why not buy one for Wanting too? It's only twenty thousand or so."

"Uh..."

Hou Jun's face showed difficulty, stammering without knowing how to respond. He had already winced at spending twenty-six thousand just now, let alone buying another one.

Even if he had money, this wasn't how to spend it.

"As a man, besides having style, you should also be generous. Your car must be worth at least six or seven hundred thousand, so why worry about this small amount?"

Shen Yuan said with a smiling face, his mockery at maximum level. He couldn't help it, mainly because the system had given him a task, and the more Hou Jun and Zhou Wanting disliked him now, the better.

"Uh, wait, let me take a call first."

Hou Jun took out his phone and turned away, saying as he walked: "I'm outside right now."

"What? Who let you make that decision? Didn't I say that projects worth hundreds of thousands can't be decided without my..."

Shen Yuan could barely hold back his laughter, this guy was really putting on an act.

But at this moment, Shen Yuan suddenly noticed that the negative values above their heads had changed.

Hou Jun's negative value had initially been 30, now rising to 35.

And Zhou Wanting's negative value had increased even more, from 35 to 45.

"Hou Jun, how could you..."

Zhou Wanting watched Hou Jun's retreating figure with complete disappointment, never expecting him to crumble so easily.

"Shen Yuan, you'd better watch yourself."

Unable to fight alone, she could only leave a harsh but empty threat before quickly following after Hou Jun.

By now, sales associate Alisa had finished packaging everything and handed the bags over with a smile: "Mr. Shen, I've packed them for you."

Julia, standing nearby, watched the scene with a bleeding heart.

Mr. Shen was indeed still Mr. Shen, directly buying two bags without hesitation.

And Ms. Zhou and her new lover? What a joke!

Julia was on the verge of tears, deeply regretting her earlier decision. She had the opportunity to continue serving Mr. Shen, but she had believed the lies of Ms. Zhou and that man!

Damn it, who told you he was bankrupt?!

"Thank you."

Shen Yuan politely accepted the bags and directly handed them to Fang Minhui: "These are for you."

"This..."

Fang Minhui hesitated in her heart. One bag cost twenty-nine thousand, he's just giving it to me? Although she had mentally prepared herself, Fang Minhui felt she should decline: "I can't accept this. It's too expensive."

"It's nothing, just a bag. Besides, I feel a bit embarrassed that you had to see those unpleasant people today. Consider the bag as my apology!"

Fang Minhui hesitated for a moment before finally accepting it: "Then thank you, Shen Yuan."

"Don't thank me so quickly. This one is also for you." Shen Yuan handed her the other bag as well.

Fang Minhui widened her eyes in disbelief: "Weren't you going to give one to your sister?"

Goodness, accepting one bag was already embarrassing enough, let alone two.

"I don't know if she'll like it. Next time I'll bring her here in person. Anyway, you liked both of these."

Helping his sister choose a birthday gift was just a pretext. That little devil Shen Xuan definitely wouldn't accept it and would scold him for being wasteful and then report to their parents.

If Old Shen and Mrs. Li found out, they would first beat him up, then force him to explain where the money came from.

Most importantly, the more Fang Minhui accepted, the more cashback he would get!

Fang Minhui looked troubled. She had already gone through a mental struggle to accept one bag, how could she accept another?

Besides, she didn't want to leave Shen Yuan with the impression that she was a gold digger.

"It's fine, this is just the beginning. We have plenty of time ahead. Please accept them."

Shen Yuan was worried she wouldn't accept and put on a serious face: "I'll really be upset if you refuse again."

"Alright then."

Fang Minhui sighed in relief, simply giving up the struggle. Since Shen Yuan had put it that way, further refusal might annoy him.

She couldn't help it, this was Prada after all, too difficult to refuse.

But now she suddenly recalled what Shen Yuan had just said.

"Plenty of time ahead", could he be referring to... Fang Minhui occasionally browsed jokes online and was familiar with these puns. She and Chen Ling often made such jokes.

Could Shen Yuan have that intention?

But would agreeing to go out with him on the first meeting make her seem too casual? Yet he had spent over fifty thousand on her today, so if he really had such a request... Thinking of this, Fang Minhui's pretty face turned slightly red, and she didn't dare look up at Shen Yuan.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan was patiently waiting for the system's reward.

[Congratulations, host, you have completed the timed mission]

[This timed mission accumulated 15 negative points, which will triple the refund of the amount spent. Additionally, with the female consumption bonus, you will receive a total of six times the amount]

Solid! Shen Yuan clenched his fist slightly, overjoyed. Hou Jun had generated 5 negative points toward him, and Zhou Wanting had generated 10 negative points.

According to the system's mission, every 5 negative points would double the return, so 15 points meant tripling it.

"Ding!"

[Construction Bank] Your card ending in 0098 received a deposit of 339,600 on May 11 at 21:10. Current balance: 414,356.

The cashback had arrived!

Shen Yuan couldn't help but look at the girl who had created over three hundred thousand in income for him, thinking to himself: This is truly my money tree. I must maintain it well and water it properly.

Yes, I can "water" it properly...
