Chapter 253: Spending a Pleasant Evening with the Daughter Kingdom King

The days of making big money are still ahead.

Xu Yuexin said with utter composure.

The next day, Xu Yuexin was sitting at home and received a call from Zhu Chen.

"I bought the song you wrote; it's very pleasant to listen to."

On the receiver, Zhu Chen said in a slightly excited tone, "When did you compose this song?"

Just a little while ago.

If you like listening to it, I can give you the original lyrics manuscript.

Really?

Would giving me the manuscript affect you in any way?

Zhu Chen was first overjoyed, then felt a bit embarrassed as they said.

Because they thought it was a very valuable gift! "The song is already finished; what impact could there be?"

Xu Yuexin said indifferently, "If you want it, just come over now to get it."

"Mm-hmm, I'll go right now."

"Alright, I'll be at home waiting for you."

After Xu Yuexin finished speaking and hung up, he began waiting at home.

The Daughter Kingdom King first became a fan of his own books, and now has become a fan of his songs.

Come to think of it, the two really have a fated connection.

In no time, Zhu Chen arrived at Xu Yuexin's house carrying two bags of fruit.

Xu Yuexin took the two bags of apples from them, went into the study, took out the manuscript lyrics of "Sunshine Always After the Storm", and handed them to Zhu Chen.

Zhu Chen eagerly took the manuscript, their eyes full of joy.

"I'll take it home to cherish for a few days, then return it to you."

They said to Xu Yuexin.

"Don't be formal. I've already given it to you, what else is there to give?"

Xu Yuexin poured Zhu Chen a glass of water, sat with them on the sofa, and said, "The song is selling well; I'd like to celebrate with you."

"How many have been sold?"

"So far it has sold two million, and future sales will be even more."

"That's a lot."

Zhu Chen sighed, "It must be making a lot of money, right?"

"It's okay; we sell to distributors at one yuan each, how much do they sell to you?"

"Three yuan; they make a lot."

"Indeed, that's a 200% gross profit."

Xu Yuexin agreed quite a bit.

These days, distributors' profits are terrifying; a 200% gross margin is considered modest.

If placed in other industries, the situation would only be more dreadful.

Denim jeans wholesaled from Guangzhou at two yuan each can be sold for twenty-one yuan each in Jingcheng.

Of course, abundant profit doesn't mean Xu Yuexin himself has to do the work.

One must realize that in this era where communications and logistics are still underdeveloped, spreading a sales network across regions already requires considerable effort.

Xu Yuexin doesn't want to spend that time. If he had the leisure, he'd rather work in another industry, or pursue women and enjoy life.

"You also earn a lot."

"Of course, that's what you deserve."

At this moment, Zhu Chen looked at Xu Yuexin with admiring eyes and said, "I wish I had your talent."

"Heaven gave me talent for a purpose; your gift lies in medicine."

Xu Yuexin took Zhu Chen's hand, looked at them with encouraging eyes, and asked, "How's your PhD application going?"

"I've already been accepted; the advisor appointed us as dean of the institute."

"The first paper is about to be published."

"Oh? How many papers does your graduation require?"

"Three."

Zhu Chen said, "I don't think it's a big problem; I should be able to graduate in three years."

"Great, after graduation you'll be a senior professor."

Xu Yuexin smiled faintly and said, "When that time comes, I'll come to you for medical treatment."

"No problem, but I still want to see you healthy."

Zhu Chen said earnestly, looking into Xu Yuexin's eyes.

"Me too, I also hope I stay free of illness and disaster."

Xu Yuexin pulled Zhu Chen into his arms, said, kissed their cheek, and his hands began to act indecently. Zhu Chen closed their beautiful eyes and endured silently until Xu Yuexin tried to undo his shirt buttons, then pressed his hand down.

"Not today…"

"Let's change the place."

Zhu Chen's voice was fragile as they pleaded, looking at Xu Yuexin and said.

Xu Yuexin instantly understood.

They didn't want to be at their own home.

"Mwah."

Realizing this, Xu Yuexin planted a kiss on Zhu Chen's cheek, then gently stroked her face and said, "Alright, I'll take you home."

"I'm sorry…"

Zhu Chen felt she had dampened Xu Yuexin's enthusiasm, got up and apologetically said.

Xu Yuexin wrapped his arms around Zhu Chen, lightly patted her back and said, "There's nothing to apologize for."

Zhu Chen nodded gently, feeling respected by Xu Yuexin.

After seeing Zhu Chen home, Xu Yuexin reflected on what had just happened and thought he had indeed been inappropriate.

Doing business at home in broad daylight, if a daughter‑in‑law were to return halfway, what should be done?

So in the future, if I want to conduct business, I'll have to change the location.

The problem arose: although Xu Yuexin currently owns many houses, each one is already occupied.

After thinking it over, he concluded he needed to buy an additional house.

Xu Yuexin thought to himself.

……

Xu Yuexin is a person with great execution ability.

After making up his mind, he started wandering around his neighborhood, looking for a suitable house to acquire.

Eventually, Xu Yuexin selected a renovated bungalow.

The bungalow is about seven to eight hundred meters from Guogongfu, with renovated wiring and plumbing, and the condition is good.

The crucial point is that it is a standalone house, with no neighbors nearby, so there's no worry about onlookers gossiping.

Although Xu Yuexin conducts himself properly, he still has to guard against unnecessary talk.

The owner asked for 20,000 yuan, but Xu Yuexin negotiated it down to 18,800 yuan and closed the deal.

After buying the house and renovating it, Xu Yuexin specially invited Zhu Chen over for a short sit‑down.

"It seems you've bought quite a few houses?"

Zhu Chen looked over Xu Yuexin's carefully renovated house and said, as if recalling something.

"Yes, I bought several more as investments."

"It also makes it convenient for us to meet."

Xu Yuexin slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, looked into Zhu Chen's eyes and said bluntly.

Zhu Chen understood the meaning behind Xu Yuexin's words and felt quite shy under his gaze.

"Day after day, all my thoughts are spent on this."

Zhu Chen scolded, then stood up and said, "The task my mentor gave me isn't finished yet."

"I have to go to school now."

Having said that, she turned and walked toward the door.

Xu Yuexin stood up, hurried over and wrapped his arms around Zhu Chen's slender waist.

"Wait a moment before you leave."

Xu Yuexin whispered into Zhu Chen's ear, "Didn't we say last time that it wasn't allowed at my place?"

"This time…"

Xu Yuexin wasn't asking for Zhu Chen's opinion.

Because as soon as his words fell, he kissed Zhu Chen's snow‑white neck.

Zhu Chen's cheeks flushed red from his kiss, and a hint of daze appeared in her eyes.

"Stop…"

"You're already someone with a family."

Zhu Chen tried to push Xu Yuexin away, but it was futile.

Soon, Xu Yuexin's large hand slipped under Zhu Chen's shirt hem while he kissed her red lips.

Zhu Chen couldn't resist; she gradually lost strength all over.

In the end, her graceful body collapsed into Xu Yuexin's arms.

Xu Yuexin held Zhu Chen tightly and went to the bedside.

Soon, Zhu Chen's shirt and black skirt were tossed onto the bed one by one…
