Chapter 197: Chapter 196: The story is inspiring, and the emotional fluctuation is intense
“`
Everyone had been in university for three years and had long since shed their youthful awkwardness. Jokes were more relaxed now, and even with so many classmates around, nothing seed off-limits to talk about.
However, Tang Jiai’s face was a bit red with embarrassnt. Seeing this, everyone got even more excited, “No way? You still think about him?”
“Holy shit, is that true, Jiai?”
“Shen Yuan really had sothing about him, huh. It’s been six years and our dear Jiai still hasn’t forgotten him.”
Tang Jiai was shy and anxiously wanted to shut them up, which only made the surrounding classmates laugh more.
One of the boys, overhearing the conversation that kept circling back to Shen Yuan, and noticing Tang Jiai’s springti-like smile, felt a pang of sourness and said,
“Shen Yuan’s family has gone bankrupt. I heard they’re in a lot of debt now and can’t socialize with us anymore.”
“What? When did that happen?”
So classmates were behind on the news. This wasn’t the kind of thing people broadcasted, so it wasn’t surprising so were out of the loop.
The boy who had just spoken, ang Qi, explained, “It’s been about a year. I heard they sold their cars and house, and now they live in a rental.”
With this revelation, the classmates’ interest in Shen Yuan visibly waned. One girl sighed, “What a pity. Shen Yuan was actually quite a catch, tall and handso.”
ang Qi, who wasn’t particularly good-looking himself, scoffed at these comnts, “What good is being handso? There are plenty of good-looking guys out there.”
The topic of Shen Yuan was quickly dropped after ang Qi’s interjection.
After all, everyone was in their third year, soon to beco seniors, and saw matters more realistically; they understood what bankruptcy and debt could an for a family.
Jiai thoughtfully glanced in that direction, then turned her gaze away.
She then looked at Luo Bingying, standing quietly among the crowd. If Shen Yuan’s family had suffered such misfortune, she must be feeling uncomfortable too, since she had dated Shen Yuan.
However, Jiai figured Luo Bingying probably wouldn’t be interested in Shen Yuan anymore, considering how exceptional the girl was.
At that mont, Luo Bingying, in her fitted long dress, was seated at the center of the crowd. Her eyes, beneath the thick lashes, were lively like rippling water; her lips were rosy and full. Her soft, long hair draped over her shoulders, making her stand out like a radiant pearl among the others.
Not only was she beautiful with great academic achievent—admitted to Yanjing’s Renmin University with a score of 665 during the college entrance exams—her family’s business was thriving too. Since middle school, she’d been picked up and dropped off in a rcedes S-Class.
Her father had moved the company to Yanjing years ago, but she still ca back to visit her grandparents during the winter and sumr vacations.
Such a girl was dazzlingly brilliant.
Even the old Shen Yuan, Jiai felt, hadn’t been a match for her, let alone the current bankrupt Shen Yuan.
Maybe it was the nature of the wealthy, but Luo Bingying’s deanor held a touch of cold indifference. Even though she seed amiable while talking with others, there was a hint of aloofness in her eyes.
…
On the other side, Cherng Xian, hearing the word “team building,” asked again, “What team building?”
Shen Yuan replied, “With the company team.”
“Have you started your internship?”
In Cherng Xian’s view, Shen Yuan was wealthy, but he hadn’t associated him with running his own business, assuming his wealth ca from his family.
And since they were about to beco seniors, it was ti for internships for them as well.
“No, it’s not…”
Shen Yuan was about to answer when Liew nglu ca over. “Shen Yuan, I’ve washed the fruit.”
Cherng Xian and Jin Kangwen were taken aback by the newcor, “Wow, she’s gorgeous.”
Not only did she have a handso face, but her skin was also wonderful, and most crucially, her figure. Even in a windbreaker, her alluring figure was evident.
“Who’s this?”
Jin Kangwen asked subconsciously.
“She’s…”
Shen Yuan paused, thinking that he couldn’t exactly say “lover,” so he said, “She’s an employee of mine.”
“Employee?”
Cherng Xian’s eyes widened slightly, “You own a company?”
Shen Yuan nodded, “Yes.”
Liew nglu, upon hearing “employee,” pouted and quietly pinched Shen Yuan’s waist when she sat next to him.
“Ouch…”
Shen Yuan winced from the pain.
Cherng Xian and Jin Kangwen weren’t blind; even if nglu’s gesture was discrete, from Shen Yuan’s expression, they could tell there was more to it.
Not only did he own a company, but he also had stunning female employees—and it seed there was sothing between this one and him.
Cherng Xian and Jin Kangwen were bowled over by the show of success; only monts earlier, Cherng Xian had thought Shen Yuan was just interning, but he was actually running a company with all sorts of thrilling machinations.
Impressive!
Jin Kangwen was more composed and quicker to adapt than Cherng Xian, and he beca even more convinced that Shen Yuan was a worthy acquaintance.
At Tipsy, Jin Kangwen had only deduced from Shen Yuan’s Audemars Piguet watch and branded clothes that he was wealthy, but he hadn’t known the source of his wealth.
He had even asked Li Yuhang, who was drunk that day and spoke indistinctly, leaving Jin Kangwen confused, under the impression that it was Shen Yuan’s family that was prosperous.
Now, it appeared Shen Yuan was making money based on his own skills?
But he wondered just how large Shen Yuan’s company was.
That’s when Jingfu’s HR director, Zhong Yu, walked over, smiling, “Mr. Shen, would you like to show your cooking skills in the kitchen? I can assist you.”
Shen Yuan waved his hand, “I can’t cook; you all just go ahead.”
“`
“Alright.”
After saying that, Zhong Yu left.
Jin Kangwen watched the departing middle-aged man who dressed sharply and wasn’t young. Could this be Shen Yuan’s company employee, an managent-level one perhaps?
Cherng Xian finally reacted, hearing the unfamiliar yet familiar title “Mr. Shen,” his gaze at Shen Yuan transford once again.
Everyone had not even graduated yet, and already a classmate had beco a company owner, playing around with various won, the disparity was simply too striking.
Cherng Xian couldn’t help but ask, “Shen Yuan, what kind of company did you start?”
Shen Yuan replied, “A health managent company, called Jingfu. If you ever want to get a gym mbership or sign up for classes, you can go to my fitness centers.”
“That’s not bad, give us a discount when the ti cos.”
“No problem.”
The two silently noted the na Jingfu, planning to look it up later, and then Jin Kangwen smiled and asked again, “Really not going to say hello?”
Shen Yuan shrugged, “Forget it, not this ti, maybe next ti.”
“Alright then, we’ll head over there first, let’s et up when you’re free next ti.”
Jin Kangwen and Cherng Xian stood up and went back.
When Liew nglu and the other person walked away, she imdiately took Shen Yuan’s arm and cooed, “Shen Yuan, is that how you introduce to your friends?”
Shen Yuan glanced at her, “Then how should I introduce you?”
Liew nglu pursed her pink lips, “I’m not just your employee.”
“It’s okay, they’re just my junior high school classmates.”
Shen Yuan reassured her, “If they were important people, I definitely wouldn’t have introduced you so casually.”
“Alright then.”
Liew nglu felt sowhat better, then said, “I’ve washed the fruits, let’s eat.”
“…..”
When Cherng Xian and Jin Kangwen returned to the tent where the classmates were focused on the gathering, ang Qi smiled and said, “So, is Shen Yuan too embarrassed to co?”
The other classmates also turned their gaze to the two, wanting to know what Shen Yuan had said.
Cherng Xian frowned and glanced at ang Qi; isn’t he an idiot? Why would Shen Yuan feel embarrassed to co?
Jin Kangwen explained with a smile, “Shen Yuan is quite busy, he asked to send his regards; he won’t be coming over.”
ang Qi felt even more smug, “Alright, stop making excuses for him. Everyone understands.”
Jin Kangwen just smiled without saying a word. Although their junior high classmates were fairly well-educated, there were inevitably a few fools who loved to put others down to highlight their own excellence.
There was no need to explain too much to such people.
However, Cherng Xian didn’t share Jin Kangwen’s mindset and couldn’t help but retort, “What do you know?”
“His family went bankrupt, right? He’s probably too embarrassed to socialize with us again, isn’t that so?”
ang Qi said as if it were a matter of fact.
Cherng Xian barely held back the impulse to call him a fool and replied tersely, “It’s true that Shen Yuan’s family went bankrupt, but he’s made his own money now, started a company, and today he ca here for team building.”
“He’s…”
Cherng Xian intended to continue, saying how Shen Yuan now drove a Benz G-Class, wore a watch worth over eight hundred thousand, and had many beautiful won around, obviously enjoying life.
But Jin Kangwen interrupted with a laugh, “Alright, alright, did the restaurant prepare our barbecue? If it’s ready, let them serve it.”
Cherng Xian, cut off from continuing, didn’t go on, and the others had just heard the first part of the conversation. They were all slightly taken aback, Shen Yuan started a company?
ang Qi couldn’t believe it, “How is that possible?”
Cherng Xian couldn’t be bothered to deal with him anymore, “Believe it or not.”
Cherng Xian and Jin Kangwen were both quite likable in the class, and their family backgrounds ranked high among their peers. Neither were the type to spout nonsense, so this news was quite believable.
So wanted to know more details and crowded around Cherng Xian, asking, “What kind of company did Shen Yuan start?”
Cherng Xian replied, “I don’t know exactly, but it’s called ‘Jingfu’.”
“Let check.”
The person said and pulled out a phone to start searching.
Soon, everyone, with help from the search engine Baidu, uncovered the details about the company.
Star City Jingfu Health Managent Co., Ltd., Legal representative—Shen Yuan, Registered capital: 10 million yuan, associated enterprises—4.
“He really started a company.” Soone remarked empathetically.
Once again, everyone’s gaze turned towards Shen Yuan, but this ti their looks contained more admiration and envy. They also noticed a beautiful girl beside Shen Yuan.
Tang Jiai was also curious and looked over, initially thinking that Shen Yuan’s family had indeed gone bankrupt. She didn’t expect that he would start his own company through his own efforts.
That was quite inspiring.
ang Qi had an embarrassed expression, feeling he lost face, and excused himself to walk away on the pretext of needing to pee.
Cherng Xian spat after watching his back: serves you right for looking down on others, now feeling the sting, are you?
The topic of the class reunion once again centered on Shen Yuan, and this ti no one interfered.
While everyone at the gathering was talking about Shen Yuan, Luo Bingying also turned her fair face to the side, casting a doubtful look in that direction.
But that was just a glance, and then she shifted her gaze away.
