NOVPUBIn the shabby Volkswagen Passat, Zhou Long looked at the transfer contract in his hands with full admiration and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Mr. Chen is too damn awesome, he actually managed to acquire a shop worth two million for just two hundred thousand!"
Huang Zhen complained bitterly, "Brother Long, it’s all because Sun Qiangdong and Liu Cheng are shortsighted, they offended Mr. Chen again and again. Otherwise, Mr. Chen wouldn’t have dealt with them like this."
Yang Jun also said, "Fair’s fair, Mr. Chen is still too generous. In my opinion, why give them two hundred thousand at all? Just give them twenty thousand each, and they would definitely have transferred the two shops to us!"
"You don’t know shit!" Zhou Long snorted irritably, "Mr. Chen has his own reasons for doing things. We mere mortals shouldn’t make wild guesses."
With that, he took out two thousand yuan, "I remember Mr. Chen’s rules, here, take a thousand each and go buy a couple of Hua cigarettes."
Huang Zhen and Yang Jun were overjoyed, "Thank you, Brother Long!"
"If you’re going to thank someone, thank Mr. Chen!" Zhou Long said as he started the car and drove towards the splendid future, planning to deliver the two contracts and the keys to the shop to Chen Nan.
------
As for acquiring the two bustling shops for four hundred thousand, Chen Nan wasn’t surprised. Upon seeing the contracts he said, "Give me your card number, and I’ll transfer the money to you."
Although he didn’t have that much money on him, he could still gather the four hundred thousand.
Zhou Long hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, you’re hitting me in the face here. Let alone four hundred thousand, even for four million, I couldn’t ask you for money!"
He wasn’t short of that four hundred thousand.
Chen Nan insisted, "Even brothers settle accounts clearly, we must keep things separate."
"All right then!" Unable to insist against Chen Nan, Zhou Long could only give him his card number, and Chen Nan promised to transfer the money before sunset.
After sending Zhou Long off, Chen Nan dialed Xu Nuo’s number and asked with a teasing smile, "I made thirty batches of scar removal cream last night, when are you coming to pick them up?"
Listening to Chen Nan’s mischievous smile, Xu Nuo inexplicably panicked. Thinking of Chen Nan’s fierce demeanor, she cleared her throat and calmly said, "I’m busy, I’ll have someone come and pick it up for me!"
Chen Nan laughed, "I can deliver."
Xu Nuo calmly said, "I’m on my period."
"Ahem, then have someone come and pick it up!" Chen Nan said, "Well, I’ll leave the scar removal cream with the gatekeeper, just have someone directly pick it up."
After a brief chat, Chen Nan hung up the phone, took the two transfer contracts and the scar removal cream to the residential complex gatekeeper, and instructed them to wait for someone to come and pick it up.
Afterward, he went to the bustling commercial street.
But since it was noon, there weren’t many people on the street, though there were still quite a few people queuing up outside "Guo Cha" for the heat-dissipating soup and brain-revitalizing soup.
Upon seeing Chen Nan, Nie Xiaoyu couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you here in the middle of the day?"
Chen Nan asked, "How much money do you have on you right now?"
Nie Xiaoyu didn’t know why Chen Nan was asking this but still replied, "Eighty thousand."
"That’s enough," Chen Nan said with a smile. "Transfer it all to me!"
"Okay."
Although Nie Xiaoyu didn’t know why Chen Nan needed so much money, she still picked up her phone and transferred all the money she had earned in the past few days to him.
Watching Nie Xiaoyu transfer the money to him without hesitation, a touch of tenderness appeared on Chen Nan’s face as he softly said, "Don’t you want to know what I need the money for?"
Nie Xiaoyu blurted out, "Isn’t the purpose of my earning money to spend it on you..."
As she spoke, she subconsciously closed her mouth and a shy blush spread across her face, unexpectedly revealing her inner thoughts.
Chen Nan smiled and handed the two contracts to Nie Xiaoyu, "Of course, I won’t waste money. Here, take a look at what these are!"
Nie Xiaoyu curiously took the contracts and examined them closely. When she saw that the documents were transfer contracts for Honey Words Teahouse and Precious Fruit Pavilion, she couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment, her beautiful eyes revealing an unmistakable shock.
"Is this... is this real or fake?" Nie Xiaoyu was completely flabbergasted. She had never imagined that Chen Nan would acquire the two highly desired shops without her knowledge.
Chen Nan said with a smile, "If you don’t believe it, you can go and ask at the management center."
Nie Xiaoyu swallowed hard, holding back her excitement, "Of course, I believe you... but... acquiring these two popular shops must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Chen Nan replied, "You don’t need to worry about that. You should start contacting the renovation company to discuss the refurbishment."
"Oh, right, they will move out all the equipment within three days, and you can talk to them about buying it at a low price."
Overwhelmed with excitement, Nie Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, "Leave the other matters to me. You should focus on your revision."
There were just over forty days left until the college entrance exams.
Time was getting increasingly tight.
She did not want to distract Chen Nan.
After all,
Chen Nan was also carrying her dream of attending university.
As it was nearly time for lunch, Chen Nan suggested, "Let’s go have some lunch together. After eating, I’ll go home and study."
Nie Xiaoyu readily agreed to Chen Nan’s proposal, and the two found a restaurant on the commercial street. After eating, they parted ways, and Chen Nan strolled towards his home.
It is often said that the straight line is the shortest route, so Chen Nan decided to cut across an open-air parking lot to save a few hundred meters of walking.
But just as he entered the parking lot,
a beautiful figure caught his eye.
He saw a pregnant woman in her thirties bending over and retching.
Her long, dark, and shiny hair fell over her shoulders like a waterfall, with strands carelessly sticking to her slightly flushed cheeks.
Her features were delicate and fair, resembling an exquisite doll, exuding an indescribable air of elegance.
Her eyebrows were fine and long, and the corners of her eyes, slightly upturned, carried a natural allure. Her eyes were like pools of autumn water, shimmering and enticing, trapping the gaze of anyone who looked into them.
The modest bulge of her belly did not conceal her sensual charm but rather added a unique and gentle allure. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
She was wearing a form-fitting long dress, with the soft fabric hugging her curves and showcasing her full figure to great effect.
Her prominent chest rose and fell with each breath, radiating the enchanting aura of a mature woman.
Below the hem of the dress, a pair of slender legs occasionally flashed into view; even in her pregnancy, they still exuded a deadly charm.
Because she was facing Chen Nan, he could clearly see the exaggerated cleavage at her neckline, and the two plump and fair shapes, giving a strong visual impact.
While Chen Nan was staring intently at the beautiful pregnant woman, she also lifted her head. Seeing Chen Nan’s fervent gaze, she said breathlessly, "You filthy pervert, have you had your fill of staring?"
