The next morning at nine, Nandu University.
School of Business.
Gao Yan walked confidently into the teaching building.
He happened to run into Yang Yue coming from another direction.
"Good morning, Yang Yue!"
Gao Yan smiled and nodded at her, then headed up the stairs.
Yang Yue paused slightly, feeling that the guy greeting her seemed familiar. Then she remembered, wasn't this the same Gao Yan who tried to sell her a hot pot base recipe on Monday?
How had he changed so much in just two days?
Previously, Gao Yan was busy working part-time to earn money.
He always came to class in a rush and left just as quickly.
He wasn't keen on joining the Student Union or any clubs, and he even avoided class activities whenever possible.
This led to him having a very low presence in school and class.
After nearly two years in university, Cheng Hao was his only friend.
However, today, after Gao Yan entered the classroom, many classmates greeted him proactively.
This was mainly due to the batch of Fruit Phones he sold at a low price yesterday.
Gao Yan responded with a smile to those who greeted him.
Compared to before, Gao Yan's mindset had changed significantly.
Previously, he used part-time work as an excuse to avoid interacting with others, which, to be honest, stemmed from a bit of insecurity.
Now, he had the System.
Even if he couldn't become the richest person in the world, he was sure to have a place on the rich list of Daxia.
"Have you noticed that Gao Yan seems to have become much more handsome?"
Wang Yuting whispered to a few girls beside her.
Hearing this, the other girls instinctively looked over at Gao Yan.
Then someone nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I hadn't noticed before, but he really is quite handsome."
Wang Yuting pondered, "I wonder if he has a girlfriend?"
Ma Yuanyuan said, "Probably not. I heard Gao Yan's family is quite poor, and he has to work part-time to earn his living expenses and tuition!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuting's initial interest in Gao Yan quickly faded.
"Come on, what do you know? Gao Yan already owns a milk tea shop on Snack Street!"
At this moment, Zhang Feifei, sitting in the front row, couldn't help but turn around and interject.
Yesterday, when she went to Meet Milk Tea Shop to buy milk tea, she heard the staff call Gao Yan the boss. So she inquired and found out that Gao Yan had already taken over the shop.
And he planned to renovate it.
She estimated that to take over and renovate such a milk tea shop would require at least fifty to sixty thousand.
Even if Gao Yan worked part-time, it was impossible for him to save up fifty to sixty thousand without spending a penny, so she figured the money for the milk tea shop must have come from his family.
In fact, Gao Yan's family wasn't poor at all.
His adoptive father, Gao Jincheng, was the owner of an advertising company, with an annual net profit of five hundred to eight hundred thousand.
Besides, his adoptive parents owned three properties, a BMW worth over 800,000 yuan, and an SUV worth over 300,000 yuan.
Moreover, his adoptive father, Gao Jincheng, played the stock market, and it was said that his total stock holdings amounted to a million. This chapter was taken from novelping dot com without permission.
As for how much money was in his bank account, Gao Yan didn't know.
Because the Gao family was located in a fourth-tier city, where housing prices weren't as high as in Nandu, the three properties combined were worth about two million.
Even so, the Gao family's total assets exceeded five million.
Definitely a middle-class family.
Hearing that Gao Yan had opened a milk tea shop, Wang Yuting and the other girls were a bit surprised.
Especially Wang Yuting, who started to reconsider.
On the other side.
Gao Yan took out his phone from his pocket.
He found two friend requests.
One was from Zhang Feifei, and the other from Wang Yuting.
Zhang Feifei was quite attractive, scoring around seventy-five if there were a beauty rating system. With beauty filters, she could barely be called a goddess online.
As for Wang Yuting, she had a round face and a petite figure, belonging to the cute type, scoring above seventy.
One had to admit, the School of Business had its share of beauties.
The most outstanding in the class was naturally Yang Yue, with both looks and figure scoring above ninety.
Besides that.
There were three more girls in the class scoring above eighty.
But they were all already taken.
As for Bai Wei, whom Gao Yan had pursued before, she was also an eighty-plus beauty.
Does Gao Yan like beautiful women?
The answer is yes.
In the past, if beauties like Zhang Feifei and Wang Yuting had added him, he would have been thrilled.
But now, he felt very calm.
Perhaps because he had more confidence, his standards had risen as well.
He set a small goal for himself: to find a girlfriend scoring above ninety.
After all, a university experience without romance is incomplete.
But Zhang Feifei and Wang Yuting were classmates.
So, Gao Yan decided to accept their friend requests.
Little Cutie: Hello Gao Yan, I'm Wang Yuting.
Heaven Bestows Me Talent: Hello Wang Yuting, I'm Gao Yan.
Little Cutie: I heard you opened a milk tea shop. If I go to your shop to buy milk tea, can I get a discount?
Heaven Bestows Me Talent: Of course, we're having a promotion right now. Just mention my name, and you'll get fifty percent off.
Little Cutie: Thanks, I'll treat you to a meal sometime.
Heaven Bestows Me Talent: No need, you're too kind.
"Who are you chatting with?"
At this moment, Cheng Hao's chubby figure appeared beside Gao Yan.
"Wang Yuting!" Gao Yan replied casually, then asked, "What have you been up to these past two days?" New chapters come out on g.com first.
"Hehe, guess!"
Cheng Hao said mysteriously.
"Say it or don't, I don't care!"
Gao Yan wasn't buying it.
Cheng Hao lowered his voice, "Fine, I won't keep you guessing. I took your recipe home to show my parents, and they were very impressed. So yesterday, I bought a hotpot restaurant, and it's reopening in three days. Oh, and here, sign this!"
"What's this?"
Gao Yan took the folder and opened it.
"Thirty percent of the hotpot restaurant's shares!" Cheng Hao said.
Hearing this, Gao Yan was stunned and fell silent. He had sold the Super Hot Pot Base to Cheng Hao for five hundred thousand, and now Cheng Hao wanted to give him thirty percent of the shares.
He was touched but didn't know what to say!
"Feeling moved, huh? Your buddy's got your back, right?"
Cheng Hao patted Gao Yan on the shoulder.
"Fatty, I don't need those shares!"
Gao Yan closed the folder and declined. Although he knew the Super Hot Pot Base was worth far more than five hundred thousand, valuable things don't always sell for high prices.
Cheng Hao offering five hundred thousand was already very generous.
"Are you stupid? You're turning down free shares!"
Cheng Hao said anxiously.
Gao Yan replied seriously, "Listen, Fatty, our deal is done. That recipe is yours now, and it has nothing to do with me anymore!"
"No way, you have to take it!"
Cheng Hao's face darkened, "If you don't, we're not friends!"
But Gao Yan still refused to compromise, "Fatty, calm down. The worst thing between friends is doing business together. You're my only friend and brother, and I don't want us to fall out one day!"
"Impossible!"
Cheng Hao shook his head, "You've been working part-time for two years to earn your living expenses, but you still helped me with your hard-earned money. I don't believe you'd turn against me over money in the future!"
"That's because you're so thick-skinned, I couldn't refuse!"
Gao Yan said helplessly. To be honest, he was initially annoyed by Cheng Hao's freeloading, but as they got to know each other, he found Cheng Hao to be a good guy and accepted his freeloading.
Cheng Hao said earnestly, "I don't care. In short, you either take this thirty percent, or we're done!"
The two stared at each other for over ten seconds before Gao Yan finally gave in, "Fine, I'll sign!"
"That's more like it!"
Cheng Hao's face broke into a smile again.
"Fatty, you don't like men, do you? I'm warning you, I don't like men!"
Suddenly, Gao Yan teased.
"Get lost! You're the one who likes men, I like women!"
Cheng Hao roared, his voice involuntarily rising.
Then all eyes turned to them, and Fatty was socially dead on the spot!
