Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 90 - 81: Company Recruitment, Secretary Xia Goes Online_3

Seeing Li Yuan’s formal attire, Li Zixia held onto his arm and asked with a giggle, "Bro, why are you dressed so formally today? In a suit like that, you look incredibly handsome and cool! It’s beyond description; you’re seriously, unbelievably suave."

"Hehe, from now on when I look for a boyfriend, I’ll use your standards as a benchmark."

Puffing out his chest confidently, Li Yuan said, "If you look for a boyfriend based on my standards, you’ll be single for life."

Li Zixia pouted. "Hmph, Bro, you’re too narcissistic. I refuse to believe that in this entire world, there’s no guy taller, more handsome, or wealthier than you."

Li Yuan answered with certainty, "Definitely not. Your brother is one of a kind. As the future richest man in the world, it’s impossible for anyone to be wealthier than me."

"Bro, I’ve realized you really are full of yourself," Li Zixia said, speechless. "Where are you heading today? Hasn’t military training already ended?"

"Your brother has some business to take care of."

Li Zixia wheedled, "Bro, where are you going? Take me with you, please? I don’t have classes today."

Li Yuan glanced at her and shook his head. "Not today. I’ll take you out to see when there’s a chance in the future."

He hadn’t yet told his family that he was starting a company. It wasn’t that he couldn’t explain the source of the funds, but there was simply no need to make his parents worry.

His father, Li Heng, and mother, Xia Qin, had already returned to Modu from the Northeast. They were mostly at home taking care of Li Zixia and had started a semi-retired life. In their spare time, they often talked about starting a small business. Over the past few days, Li Yuan had been secretly scouting several commercial storefronts. He had already negotiated their locations and prices and planned to purchase them in the next couple of days so his parents could run a small business.

A small general store that sold tobacco and liquor, for example, would be a good choice. As long as the location was decent, it was practically guaranteed to be profitable. Of course, even if the business lost money, the increase in the property’s value alone would cover any losses...

"Bro, when you have time, you have to take us around Modu more often. Mom and Dad are going stir-crazy just staying at home all day. Since you’re living at the school, they just torture me day in and day out. Your precious little sister is having a miserable time."

Li Zixia continued to wheedle while hugging Li Yuan’s arm. Ever since she was little, she had loved acting cute and spoiled around him. It’s no wonder people say that older brothers are demons who exist only to spoil their little sisters.

"Alright, alright. During the National Day holiday, I’ll take you out for a proper tour of the area."

"Hee hee, my brother is the best!"

...

After leaving home, Li Yuan first took a cab to a car rental company and rented a black Audi A8.

As he drove, Li Yuan couldn’t help but think that it was about time he bought a car for himself. It doesn’t need to be a sports car worth millions; anything in the BBA tier would do. After all, his status would be different after today. He was about to become a real boss. In the business world, a person’s car is often the best reflection of their strength.

Li Yuan arrived early at the entrance of Daxia Campus, ready to pick up his "secretary," Xia Zhijin. Because campus security was strict, Li Yuan’s car wasn’t allowed inside.

As he waited, watching the stream of students coming and going, a funny thought suddenly occurred to him. If I put a bottle of some beverage on the car’s hood, would any female university students who moonlight as models volunteer to get in and discuss the structure of human life with me?

While Li Yuan was waiting, he caught a group of girls walking over out of the corner of his eye. Most importantly, he knew all of them...

Shen Xiyu had sharp eyes and spotted Li Yuan sitting in the car. "Hey, Chenchen, Rongrong, look! Doesn’t the person in that car look like Li Yuan?"

Ge Chenchen, Li Lanrong, and the other girls followed Shen Xiyu’s gaze.

"It really is him! Did Li Yuan already buy a car?"

"Is Li Yuan here waiting for Zhijin?"

"Probably. Hehe, no wonder Zhijin didn’t want to go out with us. Turns out she has a date with her boyfriend."

"Come on, let’s go say hi."

Seeing the girls approach, Li Yuan got out of the car to greet them.

Shen Xiyu and the others were visibly taken aback by Li Yuan’s attire—a black suit, white shirt, leather dress shoes, and impeccably styled hair. He looked incredibly stylish.

Shen Xiyu clicked her tongue in wonder. "Hee hee, Li Yuan, you’re dressed so sharply... where are you planning on taking Zhijin for this date?"

Li Yuan laughed. "I’m taking her out to handle a few things. Are you all heading out from the dorm together?"

Ge Chenchen looked deeply at Li Yuan, a peculiar emotion in her eyes, and asked, "Li Yuan, is this your car?"

Li Yuan smiled and answered directly, "I rented it."

Ge Chenchen was stunned, an odd expression on her face. "What, you rented it? No way! There’s no need to rent an A8 just to keep up appearances!"

Shen Xiyu chuckled, covering her mouth. "Chenchen, Li Yuan must be joking with you. A guy like him—tall, rich, and handsome—how could he possibly rent a car?"

Li Yuan didn’t bother to explain. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford a car; he just hadn’t had the time to buy one yet.

Ge Chenchen wanted to say more, but Shen Xiyu quietly tugged her arm, signaling for her to drop it.

"Well, Li Yuan, you can wait for Zhijin here. We’ll be heading off," Shen Xiyu said.

Li Yuan just smiled and nodded without saying anything.

...

Once they were out of Li Yuan’s line of sight, Shen Xiyu turned to the proud Ge Chenchen and advised her softly, "Chenchen, some things are better left unsaid. Judging by his personality and demeanor, Li Yuan isn’t someone to mess with. Whether his car is rented or not is none of our business."

Ge Chenchen muttered, "I was just worried Zhijin would be deceived by him. With Li Yuan’s domineering personality and Zhijin’s naive, trusting nature, she’s sure to be taken advantage of." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Shen Xiyu shook her head. "Chenchen, Zhijin is far from foolish."
