The coffee shop was not busy at this time, so it was relatively quiet, which meant even though Shen Yuan's conversation with the proprietress was not loud, Li Zhanpeng and Wei Yanyan could still clearly hear what they were discussing.

What surprised them was that Shen Yuan was actually discussing the transfer price of the coffee shop with the proprietress.

They hadn't even had time to react when, in just a few minutes, a business deal worth 250,000 was agreed upon.

The speed at which the money was spent made them feel like Shen Yuan wasn't spending 250,000 but rather just 25.

What was even more outrageous was that it was clear from the way they introduced the staff that Shen Yuan took over the shop mainly for the beautiful woman beside him.

They were all honest university students, without even a partner of their own, and here was Shen Yuan, engaging in the luxurious activity of keeping a mistress?

Wei Yanyan and Weng Meiyun exchanged glances, unable to help but look at Li Zhanpeng, who was keeping silent. Wasn't it said that Shen Yuan was too embarrassed to attend gatherings after his family went bankrupt?

And yet, he could easily spend 250,000—was this what you called being afraid of a blow to his pride?

At this point, Wei Yanyan even started to doubt whether what Li Zhanpeng said was true; just now, he claimed that the car parked at the entrance was a domestically produced car worth about 100,000. But based on how Shen Yuan was spending, did he seem like someone who would drive such a car?

Li Zhanpeng was feeling absolutely terrible at this moment, as if he had swallowed a fly.

Just ten minutes ago, he was feeling smug about his new 280,000 BMW 3 Series, thinking he could finally hold his head up high and take some pleasure in Shen Yuan's misfortune.

Now, that seemed like a complete joke.

Shen Yuan was simply not on the same level as him.

Not only did he drive a Defender worth three times more than the 3 Series, but he also cheerfully threw in 250,000 for a lady's favor.

That 250,000 was almost as much as the cost of his BMW.

Yet he himself felt heartache even over spending 29 yuan on a cup of coffee.

Driving a million-dollar luxury car, keeping a mistress outside school—these were things Li Zhanpeng didn't even dare to dream of, yet all these were happening to Shen Yuan.

Li Zhanpeng was as dejected as a dog; he had always considered Shen Yuan his imagined enemy, but now the latter couldn't even be bothered to give him a glance.

...

The staff member Xiaoqiu was showing Chen Na around the counter, while Lin Yuchang and Shen Yuan were sitting at a table signing the agreement.

After receiving Shen Yuan's ID number on WeChat, Lin Yuchang was slightly surprised, not expecting him to be just 21 years old.

Yet that Miss Chen appeared to be at least 26 or 27.

Lin Yuchang, at 31, may not have seen everything, but she had a fair bit of experience and had actually sensed something peculiar between Shen Yuan and Chen Na from the moment she walked in.

They seemed like a couple, yet not quite.

But what else is there between men and women, really?

She just found it curious that nowadays it seemed many young men liked women who were more mature than themselves.

This thought gave Lin Yuchang a sliver of joy as it meant that even after her divorce, she would still have a market if she went out looking for a partner.

After getting familiar with the bar counter, Chen Na returned to Shen Yuan's side, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she said, "It seems making coffee is more complex than I thought."

Xiaoqiu had just briefly explained the process to her, and Chen Na realized there were quite a few steps involved in making coffee, and the coffee shop offered a variety of types: Americano, lattes with different flavors, mocha, cappuccino...

So Chen Na felt a bit overwhelmed for a moment.

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "No worries, take it slow; we have plenty of time, and Xiaoqiu is here to guide you, after all."

"Sister Na, I'll teach you slowly. It took me a month to get the hang of it, but you're smarter than me, so you definitely won't need a month," Xiaoqiu said with a smile on the side.

Just then, Lin Yuchang's phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang, interrupting the conversation. She picked up the phone and frowned unconsciously upon seeing the name of the caller, then walked outside the coffee shop to take the call.

At that moment, Shen Yuan noticed that Chen Na also seemed to have a change in expression, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"This Ms. Lin seems to be Zeng Xianyong's wife."

```

Chen Na whispered a response.

Just now, when Lin Yuchang's phone rang on the desk, it drew everyone's attention, and Chen Na also inadvertently saw the caller's name---Xianyong.

"Who is Zeng Xianyong?"

Shen Yuan didn't know this person.

"He's the guy who fought with Xie Haijie at the IFC Mall that day, and he's also my immediate superior at Land Rover."

"What a coincidence, huh?"

Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Just yesterday, when he was picking up the car, Chen Na had mentioned her store general manager harassing her, so he didn't have a good impression of this store general manager either.

It was just unexpected that Zeng Xianyong would have such a beautiful wife at home, and still go out to cheat.

Although from a man's point of view it's understandable, which man doesn't wish for a life with a steady wife at home and romantic adventures outside?

But then again, Zeng Xianyong using his position to exploit female employees was simply despicable!

Shen Yuan was the first to disagree!

"Actually, I plan to expose Zeng Xianyong after I get my salary, so everyone can see his true face. I still have the chat records with him stored."

"I just don't know whether I should tell his wife, because Ms. Lin seems like a nice person, and I'm afraid it might hurt her."

Chen Na looked up with her beautiful eyes, seeking Shen Yuan's opinion.

She had already decided on this matter, planning to post it in the big WeChat group of Star City's new car circle after getting her salary.

It was just that she didn't expect to get to know his wife now.

Chen Na had interacted with Lin Yuchang twice and felt she was a decent person, so she hesitated whether to tell her as well.

Shen Yuan's mind raced, and he then said in a serious tone, "I don't think it's appropriate for you to expose him."

"Why?"

Chen Na was somewhat puzzled; she felt that if such a person wasn't exposed, it would only harm more girls.

"Once the chat records are released, Zeng Xianyong will know who did it, aren't you afraid of Zeng Xianyong seeking revenge on you after losing his job?"

"But...."

Shen Yuan interrupted, "A cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone Zeng Xianyong, an unemployed man in his forties with a wife and children to support. I really fear he might do something detrimental to you."

"This matter needs to be approached in the right way. How about this, leave this matter to me, and I guarantee I can make him take a fall without affecting you."

Shen Yuan's tone was very sincere, considering Chen Na's welfare in every aspect, fearing that she might get hurt.

"Shen Yuan...."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Hearing the concern in Shen Yuan's words, Chen Na was slightly touched and felt warmth in her heart.

She suddenly felt she had made a very correct decision.

"Don't worry, this is what I should do."

Shen Yuan patted Chen Na's shoulder to comfort her, thinking to himself that he mainly wanted to get to know Ms. Lin, the beautiful young wife; actually, you needn't be too moved.

However, when he patted Chen Na's shoulder, he suddenly noticed that Chen Na's Feel-good Index had changed.

The first time they went to the IFC Mall together, Chen Na's Feel-good Index towards him was 64, and after two days of interaction, it had increased by 2 points to 66.

And now it had suddenly increased by 5 points, reaching 71 points!

Embarrassingly enough, Shen Yuan originally just wanted to find a pretext to interact with Lin Yuchang, the beautiful young wife, but he didn't expect to have such an unexpected surprise.
