I am not just a tycoon

Chen Na was standing by in a panic, unsure of what to do.

An involuntary thought appeared in Shen Yuan's mind, could it be that Xie Haijie had come to catch a cheater?

Nowadays, society operates under the rule of law, and people are generally rational, not resorting to physical fights easily.

Such scenes were only seen in videos, and in most videos, it was usually the faithful spouse catching the mistress.

People generally lost their rationality and resorted to physical violence only if their partner cheated on them.

The scene looked exactly like Chen Na was fooling around, and after Xie Haijie detected some clues, he followed her here and discovered her dining with another man, which led him to physically confront the man in anger.

Thinking about all this made Shen Yuan's back chill, if it weren't for this obese man acting as a scapegoat, wouldn't he be the one lying on the ground?

However, this obese man's fighting ability was really low, you weigh over two hundred jin, yet you're evenly matched with someone half your weight?

Shen Yuan felt embarrassed for him, but then he noticed some passing pedestrians starting to take out their phones and record videos.

Usually, in such situations, while everyone else enjoys the spectacle, they don't forget to share it with their relatives and friends for a laugh.

Shen Yuan didn't want Chen Na to be filmed, as it could easily lead to cyberbullying.

Nowadays, the internet is filled with malice, and even without understanding the facts, people could invent a thrilling adultery-catching drama based on what they saw in the videos, and start attacking with their keyboards.

Therefore, while the two were still fighting on the ground, Shen Yuan quickly took Chen Na's hand and headed outside, not forgetting to grab the Prada bag as well.

"Let's leave this place."

It was Chen Na's first time in such a situation, her mind a blank, unsure of how to handle it, so she just followed Shen Yuan out of the restaurant.

After taking the elevator to the ground floor, Chen Na took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed down, then began explaining the cause of the situation to Shen Yuan.

After hearing her, Shen Yuan also felt a sense of relief akin to having survived a disaster, if he hadn't gone to the restroom just in time, he might have been the one caught "in the act of cheating" by Xie Haijie.

But, in the end, it was Xianyong's overly libidinous behavior that got him beaten, had he not been oversexed, he wouldn't have been hit.

Additionally, Xie Haijie was also not really thinking straight. Even though Chen Na had already broken up with him, he still couldn't adjust his own status.

"Actually, I had only been with Xie Haijie for half a month, and I learned about his bad character at that dinner."

Chen Na added another sentence.

She didn't know why, but compared to worrying about those two men fighting over her, she was more concerned that Shen Yuan might think less of her.

After all, to the uninformed, it might seem like she was the kind of promiscuous woman who played several men at once.

Shen Yuan gave a faint smile and comforted her, "It's good that you found out his true colors early. Thankfully you were only with him for half a month."

"Everything is over now."

Chen Na hung her head in dejection and shook her head, "It's not over yet, Xianyong is the general manager of our store, essentially my boss, and now that he has been beaten for no reason, who knows how he will retaliate against me later."

Thinking of Xianyong's obese body and sleazy expression, Chen Na felt disgusted, yet, ironically, he was still her boss, and she would have to face Xianyong at work.

Shen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "A boss like that isn't worth working for, just change your job."

"Ah~ it's not so easy to find a job these days. Starting over at a new place means all the clients I've built up over these years at Range Rover would be lost."

Chen Na sighed softly, feeling an indescribable sense of loss in her heart.

Sales tend to fatigue people over time, and she had always wanted to switch industries.

To have more flexible time, a more relaxed job.

For instance, opening a quaint small coffee shop, operating 6-8 hours per day, serving a fixed number of customers.

On good days, she might stay open a bit longer, and on bad days, she could close early.

If something came up, she might not open for the whole day.

As they chatted, they suddenly passed by a retro-style coffee shop where only a few people were quietly sitting and drinking coffee, and the apron-wearing proprietor was wiping the bar and chairs, her face adorned with a faint smile.

This was the peaceful life that Chen Na had hoped for, without too many lofty ambitions, not needing to earn too much money, having something to do every day, but not too busy.

When she felt upset, she could also properly let herself stop.

But Shen Yuan noticed Chen Na was somewhat lost in thought and followed her gaze, only to find her admiringly looking at that coffee shop.

"Do you want to open a coffee shop?"

Instantly, Shen Yuan understood what Chen Na was thinking. Many women actually have a little bourgeois sentiment, and today's events just furthered this idea.

Chen Na didn't deny it, "Yes, but opening a coffee shop costs three to four hundred thousand, and I haven't saved enough money."

The dreams were rich, but reality was harsh. Chen Na still distinguished this clearly; her current savings made the thought of opening a coffee shop seem like an impossible dream.

"What if someone was willing to invest in you opening a coffee shop?"

Shen Yuan asked.

He still had three hundred thousand exclusively for investment, worried about not having a place to invest.

Chen Na thought Shen Yuan was joking to make her happy and laughed, "If someone is willing to invest, I would immediately resign to work for him, without the slightest hesitation."

"Alright, then resign tomorrow."

"Huh?"

Chen Na's expression froze, and she turned to look at Shen Yuan, her eyes full of confusion.

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "I said you should resign. I'll invest 300,000 in your coffee shop, and then you can work for me."

Actually, businesses like coffee shops or milk tea shops seem to have low barriers to entry, as if anyone could start one.

But precisely because the barrier is low, the competition is fierce, and it's easy to lose money.

The problem is, the market is already saturated, with each brand having formed its own ecosystem with a stable customer base.

For example, Starbucks, Luckin Coffee, and Cotti, who also wants a slice of the pie.

Luckin Coffee, to expand its market, slashed its previous thirty-four yuan cup of coffee to just nine yuan, turning what was once a bourgeois coffee into a commoner's drink.

And those non-branded small coffee shops simply can't compete, neither attaining the high-end quality nor the deep-rooted appeal of Starbucks, and definitely unable to compete with the cost and raw materials against firms like Luckin Coffee, which have been financed several rounds.

So, opening a coffee shop and competing with these giants is, to put it exaggeratedly, a deadly gamble.

However, all of this was no problem in Shen Yuan's eyes.

After all, he was the chosen son of the mighty System!

Even if Chen Na couldn't maintain the costs, as long as she kept a certain level of revenue, Shen Yuan could profit with the system's double cashback.

"No way, Shen Yuan, are you joking?"

Chen Na's expression was astonished, somewhat disbelieving.

Although she had seen Shen Yuan spend money like water, today he even bought her a bag worth more than 40,000.

But this was 300,000!

Without understanding the specifics, to just throw in the money?

Moreover, they had known each other for how long? After just three meetings, Shen Yuan was ready to spend 300,000 on her?

Three hundred thousand was close to her three years' worth of wages from her job.

"I'm serious. Well, don't you want to work for me?"

Shen Yuan said with a smile, "Once the coffee shop is up and running, I'll pay you a salary of twelve thousand, plus bonuses; if it keeps running for three months, I'll also gift you a car worth two hundred thousand. Your old Fit is too outdated; it's time for a new car."

"This..."
