Zhou Wanting stared blankly, full of disbelief, thinking she had heard wrong.
Shen Yuan's family had gone bankrupt; even the car and house had been sold to pay off debts. Where did the money come to buy anything?
Hou Jun found it even more unbelievable, especially since the beauty beside him had just paid for the taxi.
With a skeptical look, they decided to watch what would happen next, but to their surprise, Shen Yuan casually waved his hand: "No need to check, just issue the invoice."
Alisa hadn't even recovered, an uncontrollable excitement surged within her, and she hastily agreed.
Such a big spender! A genuine big spender!
This was a real sugar daddy—decisive and efficient!
Under the shocked gaze of Zhou Wanting and Hou Jun, Shen Yuan swiped his card and completed the payment in one go.
"Shen Yuan, wasn't your family bankrupt? Where did you get the money?"
Zhou Wanting could no longer hold back and sharply questioned.
"None of your damn business."
Shen Yuan was signing the receipt and replied indifferently.
"You didn't go and take out a loan, did you?"
Hou Jun had just thought it through; if his family was bankrupt, then that was the only possible explanation.
No money at home, but to impress a girl and show off, he went to take out a loan.
Such stories were common in society. Hou Jun had seen plenty of families go bankrupt just to tip livestreamers, and even cases where individuals misused public funds for lavish outings with girls and then got reported.
"Ah yes, yes, yes, I took out a loan, think whatever you want."
Shen Yuan handed the pen back to Alisa, then smiled at Hou Jun: "The boss isn't short of money, why not buy another for Wanting, it's just over twenty thousand more."
"Uh…" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⸺fire.net
Hou Jun's face showed difficulty, he stammered, not knowing what to say. He had just spent twenty-six thousand and was already heartbroken, let alone buying another one.
Even if rich, it wasn't the way to spend money.
"As a man, besides having manners, you should also be generous. Your car alone costs at least six or seven hundred thousand, why care about this little money?"
Shen Yuan's smile was teasing, full of mockery. There was no helping it; the System had given him a task, and the more Hou Jun and Zhou Wanting disliked him, the better.
"Uh... wait, let me take this call first."
Hou Jun took out his cell phone, turned around and walked away, all the while saying: "I'm outside right now."
"What? Who gave you the authority to decide that? Didn't I say that projects worth hundreds of thousands couldn't proceed without me…"
Shen Yuan couldn't help but want to laugh; this bastard could really put on an act.
At that moment, however, Shen Yuan suddenly noticed that their negative values above their heads had changed.
Hou Jun's negative value had started at 30 and had now risen to 35.
And Zhou Wanting's negative value had increased from 35 to 45.
"Hou Jun, how could you…"
Zhou Wanting looked at the departing figure of Hou Jun, utterly disappointed, not expecting him to crumble so easily.
"Shen Yuan, look after yourself."
Outnumbered, she could only drop a severe remark and then quickly followed him.
Meanwhile, Alisa had already finished packing, smiling as she handed over the bags: "Mr. Shen, I've packed them for you."
Julia, standing by, watched the scene, her heart bleeding.
Mr. Shen was still that Mr. Shen, buying two bags in one fell swoop.
As for Ms. Zhou and her new flame, what a joke!
Julia cried without tears, regretting her recent decision deeply, as she had the chance to continue serving Mr. Shen, but she had actually believed the nonsense from Ms. Zhou and that man!
Madness, whoever told you that they were bankrupt!
Shen Yuan politely took the handbag and handed it directly to Minhui Fang, "It's for you."
Minhui Fang hesitated internally, knowing the bag was worth twenty-nine thousand, was it really just given to her like that?
Although she had mentally prepared herself, Minhui Fang felt she still had to refuse, "I can't accept this, it's too valuable."
"What's the big deal, it's just a bag. Besides, I do feel a bit embarrassed for showing you these dishonest people today. Just consider the bag as my way of apologizing!"
Minhui Fang hesitated for a moment and finally accepted it, "Well, thank you, Shen Yuan."
"Don't thank me so quickly, there's also this, for you as well," Shen Yuan then handed over another bag.
Minhui Fang stared incredulously, "Weren't you supposed to give one to your sister?"
Oh goodness, she was already embarrassed accepting one bag, let alone two.
"I'm not sure if she'll like it. I'll bring her here next time to shop; anyway, both were your picks."
Picking out a birthday gift for his sister was just a pretext, and Shen Xuan, that devilish girl, definitely wouldn't want it and would scold him for wasting money and then complain to their parents.
If Old Shen and Ms. Li found out, they would certainly beat him up first and then force him to explain the source of the money.
Most importantly, the more Minhui Fang accepted, the more cashback he would receive!
Minhui Fang's face showed her discomfort, having already struggled mentally just with accepting one gift, how could she face accepting another?
Besides, she didn't want to leave an impression of a gold-digger on Shen Yuan.
"No worries, this is just the beginning, we have a long time ahead of us, just accept it for now."
Shen Yuan worried she wouldn't accept and with a serious face warned, "If you refuse again, I might really get angry."
Minhui Fang sighed in relief and gave up struggling; since Shen Yuan had spoken thusly, persistently refusing might annoy him.
It was difficult to refuse a Prada, after all.
However, she suddenly pondered over what Shen Yuan had mentioned earlier.
"Long days ahead," could he mean....
Minhui Fang, who occasionally browsed memes, was familiar with such puns, and she and Chen Ling would often joke about them.
Shen Yuan... could he possibly mean that?
But, to agree to go out with him the first time, wouldn't it seem too easygoing?
Yet he had spent over fifty thousand on her today, if he really had such a request...
At that thought, Minhui Fang's cheeks turned slightly red, and she dared not lift her head to look at Shen Yuan.
Meanwhile, Shen Yuan was patiently waiting for the System's rewards.
[Congratulations, Host, for completing the time-limited task]
[This time-limited task has accumulated 15 points of negative value. With a return of three times the spending amount and additional opposite-sex spending, a total of six times the amount is returned]
Shen Yuan clenched his fist slightly, overwhelmed with joy, as just now Hou Jun had contributed 5 points of negative value and Zhou Wanting contributed 10 points.
According to the task issued by the System, every 5 points of negative value would double the earnings, 15 points were equivalent to tripling.
[China Construction Bank]Your card number ending in 0098 received an income of 339,600 on May 11 at 21:10, with a current balance of 414,356.
The cashback money was also deposited!
Shen Yuan couldn't help looking at the girl who had earned him over three hundred thousand, thinking inside: this is indeed his money tree—he must maintain it well and water it diligently.
Yes, he could "water" it well.
