Chapter 308 Everyone Can Say High-sounding Words

"Then I let him transfer the properties under his name to my name. Is that okay?" Xia Yu smiled. Yang Xu meant that Shen Yan was a pile of money instead of a person.

She signed in her heart. Was she too pedantic or was anyone else too realistic? What about the second son of Shen Family? Wasn't he going to work every day like anyone else?

As they were talking, the car stopped at the front door of Yang Ke'er's new store. They got off the car together. Shen Yan stepped forward, looking grandiosely cool. Zhang Peng had a wry smile in his heart. Shen Yan had so much energy now and why didn’t he go before?

Shen Yan had never taken off his sunglasses since putting them on, and no one could see his emotions in his eyes. But people couldn't ignore the alienation and indifference that were radiated from the inside of his body even if they wanted to.

Xia Yu's hair hung high on the top of her head, and it was braised into a four-tailed ponytail. Her skirt looked normal on the front side. But looking from the back, her entire back was covered by a bandage with spider-web shape, indicating her playfulness and sexiness.

Xia Yu bought this skirt a few days ago. Wanru forced her to buy it in Hael. Hael was a shopping mall where it happened to have a post-season sale, and this skirt was cost-effective. So Xia Yu bought it. Although it was already autumn, Xia Yu was barely able to wear this skirt as these days were quite hot.

At this time, Yang Xu's phone rang. He picked up the phone and said. "I am with my buddy in the resort. When you wake up, just go to find your friends and play with them. I will get to you later.”

When he hung up the phone, Xia Yu asked with interest. "Didn't you tell your girlfriend that I was your buddy?"

Yang Xu's slender eyes curled up and he answered. "Who do you think I am? Only those whose positions are not stable at home will do this kind of thing."

Xia Yu braced her arm and said indifferently in front of him. "Do you mean that you can call the shots at home?"

Yang Xu said, "Remove your tone of question. Yes, I can call the shots."

"Right. Why don't I believe you?" Xia Yu's eyebrows curled up.

"Believe it or not. Anyway, I told her you were a woman. But I added one more sentence."

"What did you add? That we are buddies?"

While the two people were talking, Yang Ke'er came over. Her vision was lowered, and she scanned through Xia Yu's small skirt. Then she smiled and said. "Xia Yu, where did you buy this skirt? It's so pretty."

Even though Shen Yan was still sulky in his heart, he stopped having other thoughts when he saw Xia Yu's face was full of smiles. Just like the apostle who was shackled, Xia Yu was the only one in his eyes.

The tip of this heart trembled. But this time it was not because of his fury. It was for her every twinkle and smile.

Xia Yu said, "I bought it at a discount in Hael under the Emperor Mall."

Yang Ke'er was a young mistress. She only bought limited editions of the season, and how could she like the discounted goods?

After Xia Yu finished her words, Yang Ke'er indeed did not ask again. Instead, she turned her head to talk to Zhang Peng and Shen Yan.

Yang Xu handed his business card over and said with a smile. "Our Manager Hao really can't get away today. I hope Miss Yang won't mind."

"Manager Yang is too kind!" Yang Ke'er shook Yang Xu's hands and asked with a smile. "I just saw you and Xia Yu had a congenial conversation. Have you two known each other for a long time?"

"I have known her for more than ten years since childhood." Yang Xu glanced at Xia Yu and said with a smile.

"So, are you childhood sweethearts?" Yang Ke'er said with a smile.

"You can say that." Yang Xu said with a smile.

Yang Ke'er smiled and said to Xia Yu. "It's great that you can come here. I was afraid that you would have no time before."

Xia Yu said with a smile. "Your new store is open. I would put it aside to come here even if I had something to do."

When she finished talking, another voice with sarcasm came before Yang Ke'er could even answer. The voice started with a sigh and was followed by one sentence. "Who doesn't know how to say high-sounding words?"

Xia Yu turned to her right side where Shen Yan stood, only to find that the corner of his lips reached a degree of taunting, not to mention the look in his eyes. It was absolutely disdain.

Yang Ke'er was shocked. She didn’t know what was going on. She grabbed Xia Yu and whispered to ask. "Are you two arguing with each other?"

Zhang Peng shook his head to Yang Ke'er and let her not ask. He then looked around and said casually. "The tourist resort here is constructed at a speedy pace. I remember the land in front of us was still empty last year, but now it has been built into a business district."

Yang Ke'er said, "Fortunately, I had a connection. Otherwise, the entire business district would have been booked internally when the drawing was set."

Zhang Peng smiled and said to Shen Yan. "I am going to come here to do business later. Please save me a good spot in advance."

Shen Yan replied casually. "Sure! Give me 30% of your profits."

"30%? How can you be a gangster!"

Shen Yan said, "You know what I do."

Zhang Peng curled his lip and said, "A professional gangster?"

After hearing their talking, Xia Yu asked tentatively, "Is this resort developed by Shen Group?"

Zhang Peng nodded to say. "Yes! Young Master Yan can also manage the business here!" Zhang Peng said with a smile of deep significance. "He manages plenty of business."

Xia Yu glanced at Shen Yan and then looked at Zhang Peng. Finally, she smiled and flattered to say. "It seems that I have followed a good boss."

Zhang Peng immediately said, "Of course. If you mingle well with him, you will have a boundless prospect in the future."

Xia Yu thought it as a joke. So she answered in a small talk fashion. "Definitely!"

Yang Xu thought it as a joke as well. So he joined the talk and said to Xia Yu, "You hurry to make a fortune! And I will tag along with you."

Xia Yu just returned his words with an assured gaze. Before she could say something else, Shen Yan walking in the front said without turning his head. "It's important to know one's limitations."

When this sentence came out, people didn't know whether he was referring to Yang Xu or Xia Yu.

Xia Yu saw Yang Xu slightly changed his expression in her peripheral vision. She naturally could not make him embarrassed. So she took the initiative to take things on herself. "How come I don't know my limitations? Who doesn't have a desire to advance?"

The back of Shen Yan's head was still facing her, and his voice was lukewarm. "Do you know how much the annual rent per square meter is for the store here? If you don't know, don't daydream to get rich. Look up! It's still daytime."

He was beating around the bush when scolding her daydream. Someone who could think fast would understand what he meant.

Shen Yan had been weird intermittently for several days and had sustained a status of no recovery. But compared with the cold war of no communication, Xia Yu would rather accept his cynicism with carrots and sticks. At least she could clearly know whether his mood was good or bad at that moment.

Xia Yu was scolded in front of so many people, which made her feel embarrassed. So, she counterattacked without much politeness. "What is a dream? You should dare to dream and think about it first. What's wrong with daydream? Did anyone say that people could only dream at night? I like to dream during the day, and I can communicate while I am dreaming. It feels so great!"

Yang Ke'er was the first one to laugh. She looked at Xia Yu and cast a look of appreciation to her. Only she dared to counterattack Shen Yan. Except for Xia Yu, Yang Ke'er had not seen anyone else who did that.

Zhang Peng also felt that Xia Yu's answer was wonderful. He followed suit with a smile. "Sister Xia, what business do you want to start? I will invest in you."

In a matter of minutes, Xia Yu transformed from a younger sister to an older sister. Her generation changed so fast.

Xia Yu just wanted to bicker with Shen Yan and did not plan to do any business. She smiled and said, "I was just saying it."

Listen! Listen! Shen Yan squinted at Zhang Peng and said in a disdained tone like an onlooker. "Do you want to invest in an unreliable person like her? Aren't you afraid of losing all your investments?"

Zhang Peng put on an indifferent appearance and calmly replied. "It's hard to buy my willingness even if one has a fortune."

Shen Yan lightly snorted and looked away.

"I have a suggestion. My sister can open a restaurant. My sister's craft is better than the executive chef of Ruyi Restaurant." Shen Qiang smiled to walk over and rested his one hand on Xia Yu's shoulder.

Zhang Peng smiled aside. "Yes, Xiao Qiang is right. We should open a restaurant here and let Sister Xia be in charge."

"Didn't you say there would be a thesis defense so that you had to come over at night? How come you're here now?" This kid was into opening restaurants now. He had just opened a restaurant, and now wanted to open another one. Shen Yan walked over and took Shen Qiang's hand off Xia Yu's shoulder.

"My sister, Ke'er's store is opening today. How can I be late?" Shen Qiang once again put his hand on Xia Yu's shoulder. As if he was afraid that Shen Yan would make trouble again, he gave Shen Yan a heads-up first. "This is my sister!"

Xia Yu had an escort who protected her. Shen Yan felt that he just gave out a punch, only to land on a marshmallow. It made him even more irritated.

"If there is a branch of Ruyi Restaurant here, the business must be very good." Yang Ke'er said. She actually had her own selfish calculations. She liked the dishes of Ruyi Restaurant. But since she had to be here everyday later, it would take 2 hours to go there by car without traffic jam. If there was a branch of Ruyi Restaurant here, she could go to have meals whenever she wanted.

"This is a good idea, but the retail spaces here are in high demand. Do you think that everyone can get a retail space through connections as you did, Miss Yang?" Xia Yu shook her head and smiled.

"If Ruyi Restaurant really wants to open a branch here, I will help them get a space." Shen Qiang vouched for Xia Yu's decision.

Xia Yu laughed. "Yeah, how can I forget a major shareholder like you? OK, I will call their manager and let him contact you."

Then, Xia Yu really called the manager of Ruyi Restaurant and conveyed Shen Qiang's words. Seeing that, Shen Yan frowned aside and couldn’t help bickering. "What benefit has Ruyi Restaurant provided for you?"

"Do they have to provide any benefit for me?" Xia Yu said. "I like being nosy. What are you going to do about it?"

"Yes! Can't Sister Xia be warmhearted?" Zhang Peng stood by her to support Xia Yu.

Shen Yan didn't feel like talking to the rest of the group. He calmly lifted his feet and went inside.

On the way to the second floor, the front desk staff talked to Yang Ke'er as she walked past the front desk. They told her that someone who appeared to be a friend of her was upstairs.

Xia Yu stopped for a short time. And then she accidentally spotted a pot of palm-sized green flowerpot plants at the counter. It was not eye-catching at all. But in the middle of the leaves of the plants, a light pink greeting card was placed. There was only one word on it: Na.

It took only three or four seconds for Xia Yu to complete the process from spotting that card to walking upstairs. But she took the card in her heart.

She was used to seeing the gorgeous flower baskets piled up in rows at the front door, those two-meter tall lucky trees, and the thick octagonal gold plates placed at the corners of the room. So this context made the palm-sized plant so different.

If Xia Yu did not misread that, she also saw some soil inside the potted plant.

Xia Yu got close to Zhang Peng and lowered her voice to say. "Have you seen that small potted plant? Is it sent by Zeng Mina?"

"Zeng Mina is Young Master Mo's fiancée, after all. Ke'er naturally has to place it at the most conspicuous position so that it can be apparent to the eyes of the Old Madame when she arrives here later." Zhang Peng took a glance at the little potted plant and shook his head.

This Miss Zeng was really interesting. If she didn't want to give a gift by herself, wouldn't it be easier for her to send a gift with Young Master Mo? Now she actually sent this kind of gadget.

"Do you like to gossip with others so much? Why not join the paparazzi?"
