Chapter 40 Do You Mind Having Multiple Girlfriends

“This student, calm down and put him down first. We will definitely find out the reason,” Zheng Youqian wiped the sweat off his forehead. He had just run over, and carrying that weight had taken quite a toll.

“Rui, don’t be impulsive. You should work on your temper.”

Zhang Long and Qian Jialun were also comforting him nearby, saying this is not a school. If you really hit someone, the company might call the police, and then it wouldn’t be just a simple disciplinary action.

“Supervisor Zheng, please check the surveillance footage!” Shen Yueshu said in a low voice.

“Alright, I’ll go check the footage right away!” Zheng Youqian quickly agreed.

Zheng Jian was a bit confused. If they checked the footage, wouldn’t he be exposed? Everyone would know he deliberately unplugged it.

Which side is his uncle really on?

This big fool of his still doesn’t realize how freaking panicked Zheng Youqian, the senior manager, is right now.

Longhua Capital always puts profit first. Although he is a senior manager, there are many people eyeing this position. The reason he deliberately stayed out of sight was because he knew the other party’s nature and was afraid they would cause trouble, ruining all his years of hard work.

After all, it’s just a nephew, not a biological son. Why show favoritism?

How could Zheng Youqian have reached this position without brains? Even thinking with his butt, he knows his jealous nephew definitely unplugged it on purpose.

If he deliberately favors Zheng Jian, and the competitor catches him red-handed, it will be difficult to handle later.

Zheng Jian wanted to show off here relying on his uncle, but Zheng Youqian was afraid he had such an idea.

“Uncle!”

Seeing that Zheng Youqian really wanted to check the surveillance, Zheng Jian immediately became anxious, hurriedly breaking free from Li Rui’s restraint and grabbing Zheng Youqian who was about to check the surveillance.

Everyone saw Zheng Jian’s urgent demeanor, and now there was no need to even check the surveillance; they all knew this guy had definitely unplugged it on purpose.

“Supervisor Zheng, how do you think we should handle this?” Shen Yueshu’s face looked a bit unpleasant. She was the leader of these students and the primary person responsible.

Zheng Jian tightly grabbed Zheng Youqian’s hand, looking at him earnestly, hoping Zheng Youqian would say a few words on his behalf.

If this matter was proven true, how would he ever be able to survive in the class afterward?
“Xiao Jian, are you doing this on purpose? If not, go check the surveillance now to prove your innocence,” Zheng Youqian forced down the disgust on his face. Why did this damn nephew like to stir up trouble for no reason?
Zheng Jian looked at Zheng Youqian’s expression, puzzled, and whispered, “Uncle, why aren’t you helping me?”

“Xiao Jian, you’re being foolish. Although I’m a senior manager, I can’t engage in favoritism or corruption,” Zheng Youqian said quietly, but everyone present could hear him.

Everyone looked at Zheng Jian with disdain, while at the same time, they admired Uncle Zheng Youqian for his sense of justice.

Finally finishing the call, Xu Yuan returned and saw the people gathered here, not understanding what was going on.

Li Rui said angrily, “Yuan’er, that bastard unplugged your computer cable.”

Xu Yuan was slightly stunned, looking at the already restarted computer and the despondent Zheng Jian, he roughly understood what had happened.

“Oh, I see.”

Xu Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Everyone noticed Xu Yuan’s calm expression, showing no sign of losing his temper, and they were somewhat puzzled.

Shouldn’t Xu Yuan be very angry?
“It’s nothing, after all, it’s all virtual data. I can just operate it back later,” Xu Yuan said calmly as before.

Everyone present was stunned by Xu Yuan’s unparalleled confidence.

“But classmate Zheng Jian, you have to apologize to my roommate. Although I’m not angry, you made my friend angry!”

Xu Yuan glanced at Zheng Jian, his sharp gaze seeming to pierce through him.

Zheng Jian felt deeply insulted; Xu Yuan’s condescending attitude made him very annoyed.

“Impressive, I bet these few words from Yuan’er are even more painful than killing Zheng Jian.”

You think you’re good at unplugging? Their casual move is a peak you can’t even reach.

“This act, it’s on a whole different level.” Zhang Long was quite generous; Xu Yuan’s style was simply on another height compared to theirs.

“Xiao Jian, apologize, don’t make things worse,” Zheng Youqian comforted Zheng Jian from the side.

In the end, under the pressure of everyone, Zheng Jian apologized very humiliatingly.

As the class monitor, he probably wouldn’t have the face to stay in the class anymore.

  ……

“Xu Yuan, can you help me? The stocks I bought have turned so red they could almost grow vegetables,” a girl from the same class said, gently patting Xu Yuan’s shoulder, blushing and somewhat hopeful.

Xu Yuan’s unparalleled confidence and indifference just now were like a deadly weapon to these young girls who hadn’t yet entered society!
“Okay.” Xu Yuan didn’t refuse; it was just a convenient matter.

The entire morning, Xu Yuan became the darling of the whole class. Not only did the girls admire Xu Yuan’s inexplicably confident aura, but the boys also respected him deeply.

Of course, except for Zheng Jian.

Xu Yuan didn’t really feel anything about this. This simulated stock market was no different from a mini-game to him. As long as he followed the rules set by the program, it didn’t require much operation.

  ……

Finally, it was lunchtime. Xu Yuan hadn’t eaten breakfast and was already starving.

Longhua Capital is truly generous; just the cafeteria alone occupies two floors of the building.
The first floor is the dining area for regular employees, while the second floor is reserved for supervisors and above.

In a place like the imperial capital where land is extremely valuable, renting out these two floors would easily bring in at least tens of millions annually.

“Yuan’er, you’re on your own!”

Li Rui and the others had originally prepared a full plate of food, ready to eat with Xu Yuan.

But when they saw Shen Yueshu carrying a tray walking towards Xu Yuan, they could only shake their heads and silently curse: Xu Yuan, you really deserve it!

“Can I sit here?”

Xu Yuan looked up and saw Shen Yueshu tilting her head and batting her eyelashes at him. Raising an eyebrow, he said, “If I said no, you’d still sit anyway, right?”

“Can’t you say something nice for once?” Shen Yueshu said with a plaintive expression, but still sat down.

“Xu Yuan, do you know President Ye?” Shen Yueshu leaned in and whispered.

The Ye Sisi she ran into at the elevator was the same girl from the bar that night. Although Shen Yueshu didn’t show it, she was somewhat surprised inside.

She had heard Ye Sisi say she wanted to mess with Xu Yuan; the two couldn’t just be acquaintances—they must be quite familiar. So Xu Yuan was very likely to know Ye Hao as well.

“I guess I know her.” Xu Yuan stuffed a big piece of meat into his mouth, curious about why Shen Yueshu was asking this.

Could it be that she wanted him to help her make connections?

“Really!”

Although Shen Yueshu confirmed her own thoughts, she still found it somewhat unbelievable.

What exactly is Xu Yuan’s identity? Usually low-key and inconspicuous, yet he can know such a powerful and resourceful person.

“Impressive, junior. No wonder you’re the man I have my eye on,” Shen Yueshu said with a smile, feeling somewhat proud.

“Ahem, ahem…” Xu Yuan almost choked on a grain of rice. In this lifetime, the two of them probably aren’t that close, just acquaintances from a few meetings.

“Junior, do you mind having multiple girlfriends? Don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble.”

“Senior, I have a great figure, and I’ve even practiced dance for two years,” Shen Yueshu said, blinking and looking at Xu Yuan very sincerely.

“Senior, why bother? A girl as outstanding as you can easily choose someone better,” Xu Yuan couldn’t understand what Shen Yueshu was thinking.

In the past life, he had no money, yet she liked him. Now that he has money, she still likes him. Could it be that this guy perfectly fits Shen Yueshu’s aesthetic preference?
Is this girl a face snob?
“Stinky junior, if you don’t cherish your sister now, you’ll regret it later.” Shen Yueshu wasn’t really angry, just giggling.

“Xu Yuan, do you have any conscience? Why are you chatting so happily with other girls!”

Ye Sisi had quietly come over at some point, with an expression like she had caught someone red-handed.

“Are you shameless? She has a girlfriend, and you know that. Believe it or not, I’ll have my dad fire you!”

Shen Yueshu showed no sign of feeling threatened and didn’t mind Ye Sisi’s insults, still smiling as she said, “Little sister, I’m not afraid at all. When the internship ends, I will resign on my own.”

Xu Yuan was somewhat surprised. Longhua Capital is a company that’s hard for others to get into. Since Shen Yueshu planned to resign after the internship, why bother interning in the first place?
“Resign? Your dad’s company is so powerful, and you actually want to resign!” Ye Sisi looked incredulous. Every year, many college students apply to Longhua Capital, but this was the first time she’d heard of someone clearly stating they would voluntarily resign after the internship.

“I’ve experienced it; there’s nothing new or exciting. It’s not as fresh as what my junior gives me.”

Shen Yueshu looked completely self-righteous, and took the opportunity to tease Xu Yuan, who was just watching the drama.

“A stinky man, what’s so special about him?” Ye Sisi sneered, though deep down she envied Shen Yueshu for being able to work at Longhua.

Because even though she was Ye Hao’s daughter, she could only watch from the sidelines.

“Not the same, I haven’t been in a relationship before. The junior is indeed a good candidate because he seems to understand me well,” Shen Yueshu said with a smile, looking at Xu Yuan.

“What a pity, the junior doesn’t have any feelings for me.”

“Of course he can’t have feelings for you, Xu Yuan belongs to Xinran!” Ye Sisi stated very clearly.

“Got it, little girl.” Shen Yueshu just treated Ye Sisi like a child, then turned to Xu Yuan and threw him a flirtatious glance: “Junior, think it over, I’ll wait for you until you’re twenty-four.”

“If you need anything, remember to call me! Anything you need, okay?” As Shen Yueshu was leaving, she even made a phone call gesture to Xu Yuan.

“Bad woman!” Ye Sisi gritted her teeth as she watched Shen Yueshu walk away.

Xu Yuan frowned, unconsciously recalling some long-buried memories from his past life.

  ……

“Xu Yuan, can we break up on my twenty-fourth birthday?”

  ……

Shen Mingshu’s life is really capricious; it seems his life changes quickly, just like her frequently changing hair color.

Entering Longhua was just for the novelty, and it turns out even dating is the same—setting a time limit just to experience the freshness?
