I am not just a tycoon

"Advisor, if there's someone or a company willing to invest, is it the investor who assesses the student receiving the investment, or the school?"

Before making a decision, Shen Yuan wanted to clarify the situation so he wouldn't end up having his invested money being controlled by the school.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Theoretically, the assessment should be by the school, but the current situation is that we are unable to attract investors, so there is considerable room for negotiation."

Lih Xiao, a member of the project team, understood the situation well but was puzzled why Shen Yuan would ask this:

"What's the matter?"

Shen Yuan no longer had any reservations and smiled faintly, "I want to invest in this project."

"???"

Lih Xiao looked up blankly, with a look on her face as if she was seeing someone foolish inside, "Have you been watching 'The Richest Man in Xihong City' too much, getting too immersed?"

"I really want to invest, but I have a condition, which is that I want to assess the student receiving the investment."

"Shen Yuan, this isn't something to joke about."

Lih Xiao still couldn't believe it but Shen Yuan thought it was normal.

After all, in Lih Xiao's view, he was just a poor student whose family had gone bankrupt, even the kind that needed to apply for financial aid.

In the end, Shen Yuan simply pulled up his bank app balance to show her, "Advisor, count how many zeros there are here."

Shen Yuan now had over twenty million, ten million of which was investment capital, and the rest was his savings.

He now had this money stored in two cards, one card only held exclusive investment funds, and the other card held the rest of his money.

What he was showing Lih Xiao was the card that held the ten million investment exclusives.

Since the System had released a Prestige mission, there was absolutely no need to keep a low profile, but rather to be high-profile to gain more Prestige.

"Sorry, I'm laying all my cards on the table, I'm actually a millionaire."

Lih Xiao looked at Shen Yuan skeptically, realizing he didn't seem to be joking, then leaned over to check the balance.

When she saw the length of the digits, Lih Xiao's eyes widened involuntarily, as her bank card had never shown such a long string of numbers.

She instinctively started counting, 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.....

There were seven zeros in total!

Hiss....

That was actually ten million!

What does ten million mean? Lih Xiao, a university teacher, earned about 6000-7000 a month, and with various performance bonuses, at most had an annual salary of 100,000.

Even if she maintained this income without eating or spending on anything until retirement, she would only make at most three million.

That is to say, even if she worked until she was a hundred years old, she wouldn't make as much money!

Lih Xiao took a sharp intake of breath, her face filled with disbelief, "Shen Yuan... how do you have so much money?"

"The family travel agency was doing poorly, so it closed down; I had too many fair-weather friends, and it was a good time to filter out some friends. Besides, my family has other business ventures, and I also trade in Bitcoin and foreign exchange, all the money I made myself."

Shen Yuan had thought of these excuses beforehand.

Trading Bitcoin and foreign exchange were relatively easy ways to make money; this explanation was very reasonable, and Ms. Li and Old Shen hadn't thought much about it last time.

The series of digits shook Lih Xiao quite a bit; she hadn't yet recovered from the shock, finding it unimaginable that her student had turned into a millionaire.

It was too surreal!

"Advisor, why don't you come work with me, ensuring you enjoy a luxurious life~"

Shen Yuan said teasingly with a grin.

"Don't talk nonsense..."

Lih Xiao playfully scolded, but the joking remark somewhat alleviated her shock. She thought for a moment and asked:

"Are you sure you want to invest in this project?"

"From what I understand, the shops in the entrepreneurship bases at other universities rarely make a profit."

Lih Xiao had done research at several neighboring universities and understood that such projects were not really about making money for students but about enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of the school.

Nowadays, universities are very competitive, striving to improve various hardware and software facilities to attract more and better students.

Lih Xiao was also worried about Shen Yuan losing money.

"I have a rough idea, but it's okay, I mainly want to contribute my part to the development of my alma mater."

Shen Yuan said earnestly.

He certainly had considered the possibility of losing money, but with the System's triple cashback, as long as those lovely fellow female students didn't bring the revenue below 33%, he wouldn't lose.

The most important thing, of course, was to gain Prestige. With Prestige, he could participate in lotteries.

From this mission, Shen Yuan had also figured out a pattern; the "Perfect Life System's" mission orientation was not only about wealth and property but also included social status, influence, and fame.

In the future, there might even be more such orientations.

It seemed that the System's creator clearly wanted to cultivate him into a top-tier millionaire!

"I am relieved that you think this way."

"However, I still suggest you think it over deeply, as this is not a small amount of money. Even though you now have ten million, you could quickly run through it if you spend recklessly."

Lih Xiao had regained her composure and spoke with earnest concern.

After all, she was Shen Yuan's advisor and had the responsibility and obligation to remind and inform him.

"You don't need to think about it, Advisor, money is meant to be spent, and investing in my alma mater is a meaningful action."

Shen Yuan certainly knew it wasn't a small amount of money, but the key thing was that this ten million could only be used for investment; it would be a waste not to use it.

Moreover, he could also harvest Prestige Points and Feel-good Index from his fellow female students.

Thinking of them, Shen Yuan couldn't help but look forward to it.

"So, it's like that..."

"Okay then."

Lih Xiao nodded thoughtfully. She had said what needed to be said, and since the student had her own thoughts, Lih Xiao didn't want to forcefully persuade her.

The students she was in charge of were all adults, with the youngest being 20 years old; they should be responsible for their own actions.

"I'll talk to Secretary Lui about this later."

"Mm-hmm."

"Well, I'll be leaving now. Take your time eating, we'll chat later."

Lih Xiao had finished her meal, tidied up her dishes, and was getting up from the dining table, ready to leave the cafeteria.

Yet, at that moment, Shen Yuan spoke up again, "And consider that other thing too."

Lih Xiao was momentarily taken aback, "What thing?"

Shen Yuan responded with a grin, "The thing about eating spicy and rich delicacies."

"....."

Lih Xiao's pretty face flushed, and she hurriedly left the cafeteria.

Shen Yuan watched her graceful figure and the 67 Feel-good Index above her head, and couldn't help but click his tongue in awe. What a great counselor~

Then, Shen Yuan quickly wolfed down his lunch and headed upstairs to his dorm room. Just as he arrived at the door of room 503, he heard a lively buzz of voices inside. It seemed quite heated.

Shen Yuan pushed the door open and discovered that in 503, besides Old Huang and Old Cao, Ye Zhiyang was also there.

"Old Third, is what Ye Zhiyang said true?"

As soon as Huang Haibao saw Shen Yuan coming in, he immediately couldn't hold back and asked, "He said you drive a Land Rover now, and you even have a mistress on the side?"

Huang Haibao had planned to play a few rounds in the canyon at noon but didn't expect Ye Zhiyang to come over for a rare visit and chat today.

In university, it's actually quite common for students to hop from one dorm room to another, but Ye Zhiyang rarely did so.

The shocking content of what Ye Zhiyang said could literally drop their jaws.

Ye Zhiyang even said he saw Shen Yuan driving a Land Rover yesterday and also spending 300,000 to set up a gorgeous woman with a coffee shop.

Huang Haibao thought this was ludicrous; he shared a room with Shen Yuan every day along with Old Cao, so how could he not know whether he had money or not?

Driving a Land Rover and keeping a mistress?

That was just utterly absurd!

Shen Yuan retorted, "Ye Zhiyang, stop talking nonsense."

"I knew it! How could Old Third keep a Land Rover from us," said Huang Haibao confidently, his heart immediately settling.

Cao Shunjin also disdainfully said, "Ye Zhiyang, you really need to watch your mouth, spouting nonsense all day long!"

Ye Zhiyang's face went red in an instant, "No, I really saw it yesterday!"

"Shen Yuan, explain yourself!"

"What's there to explain!"

Shen Yuan was slightly annoyed. "I did drive a Land Rover, but when did I keep a mistress, don't talk nonsense!"

Shen Yuan was somewhat irked by Ye Zhiyang's big mouth; if this got out, wouldn't his reputation at the International campus be completely ruined?

Let's not even mention whether there would be issues with the class belle, even the entrepreneurial base might not be possible to manage. The university definitely wouldn't allow a student with such a scandal to invest.

Even if he could invest, and the project could take off, if those senior girls and junior girls knew there was such a lecherous investor, they wouldn't dare to come forward to start a business!

Ye Zhiyang was momentarily stunned, then quickly shot Shen Yuan a "I get it" look.

Men understand; the matter of keeping a mistress isn't something you talk about openly, right?

Huang Haibao suddenly felt uneasy and stood up abruptly, "No way? Old Third, you really drive a Land Rover?"

Cao Shunjin's expression changed as well, "The Land Rover Defender, doesn't that mid-range model cost 900,000 to land?"

"I'll come clean now, I'm a multimillionaire now~"

Shen Yuan decided not to put on a façade anymore, pulled out his car keys, and threw them to Huang Haibao. Anyway, once the entrepreneurial base got going, not just Old Huang and Old Cao but probably the whole university would know.

There was no need to keep a low profile anymore.

Huang Haibao was flustered and nearly didn't catch the car keys; he cupped the keys in his hands and looked at them, utterly incredulous, "Damn, it really is a Land Rover!"

Cao Shunjin also couldn't help but come over to take a look. Indeed, there was a Land Rover logo on the back of the key.

Shen Yuan was slightly worried, "Ye Zhiyang, you haven't told anyone else about this, have you?"

"I haven't, I haven't. I just told you guys because I really couldn't keep it in anymore and came to room 503. You know our dorm; Li Zhanpeng can't stand these kinds of things," Ye Zhiyang said with a smile.

Actually, he and Li Zhanpeng got along quite well, mainly because of his family background, but now it seemed, clenching onto Shen Yuan was clearly the better choice!

A 900,000 car bought on a whim, a 300,000 coffee shop snapped up lightly; those were some solid legs to cling on to!

"There's no such thing as keeping a mistress; that was my investment in a coffee shop, and our relationship is purely business," Shen Yuan explained.

This kind of thing had to be kept low-key, otherwise it could seriously affect his re-choosing rights at the International campus.

Although Li Zhanpeng did see it yesterday, given his face-saving nature, he definitely wouldn't spread the news of another man's splendid deeds.

Ye Zhiyang revealed a mischievous smile, "I get it, I get it."

Shen Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes internally, thinking, You don't get anything at all, if you did, why the hell would you go around blabbering everywhere?
