Chapter 155: Opportunity Knocks But Once!

Early the next morning, the warm sun hung in the sky, and the sky was as clear as if washed, without a single cloud to obscure it; the fresh air rushed toward them, making one feel refreshed and happy.

Such beautiful weather was undoubtedly the perfect time to go out and have fun.

In a daze, Shen Yan only felt an incredibly itchy sensation on the tip of his nose; opening his eyelids, he discovered Hao Anqi snuggled in his arms, a cunning smile hanging on the corners of her mouth, her jade-like arms exposed, and a lock of hair dancing in her hand in various wonderful arcs.

A blush spread across that pretty face, and her skin was so delicate it seemed as if it could be pinched to release water, clearly having been fully nourished and pampered.

Seeing her little boyfriend teased awake, Hao Anqi couldn't help but reveal a triumphant smile, but who would have thought that the next moment, her "big white rabbits" would suddenly come under attack; Hao Anqi only felt a current sweep through her entire body and hurriedly put on a pleading expression, "Really, no more, I'm still soft right now."

"That'll teach you to act up again!"

Having experienced that hearty battle last night, Shen Yan did not have much desire at this moment; after stretching his body feeling refreshed, he picked up a bottle of mineral water from the bedside and took two gulps.

"Get up and wash up, I'm taking you to Shanghai for two days."

"Huh?" Hao Anqi raised her little head in shock, and after confirming it wasn't a joke, she excitedly kissed his face several times.

"Yay! I've wanted to go see Shanghai for a long time."

Having known each other for over three months, the two had already visited all the large and small attractions in Hangzhou, so Hao Anqi naturally longed for that city known as the "Magic City."

After washing up and eating a simple bowl of noodles, the two packed and set off straight for Shanghai.

Shanghai is not far from Hangzhou; the distance is nearly two hundred kilometers, and ignoring traffic jams, it takes about three hours to arrive.

Just as they stepped onto the expressway, a cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded; the caller was Tang Song.

Turning on the speakerphone, Shen Yan said while steering the wheel: "Hey! Tang!"

Tang Song: "Old Shen, are you free today? The weather is so good, how about we organize a group for a picnic?"

Shen Yan: "Heh! What a coincidence, I'm on my way to Shanghai right now, you guys have fun."

Tang Song: "Ha! Taking your girlfriend out to have fun again, Old Shen, you really know how to play; Hangzhou is so big and it's still not enough for the two of you to mess around in. Alright, I won't disturb your world for two, let's meet up next time."

Dorm 115.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song spread his hands, revealing a helpless expression.

"Can't meet up, Old Shen took his girlfriend to Shanghai."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Baoping didn't say much; after getting dressed, he went straight out to head to the External Liaison Department.

That kind of life was too far away from him; making money was the top priority.

"What?" Lin Yang, on the other hand, almost dropped his jaw in shock.

At first, Lin Yang fundamentally disagreed with Shen Yan spending a huge sum of money to buy a house and a car; after all, there were dormitories for accommodation, and a college student rarely needed a car, so he could have completely squandered that money to enjoy life.

At the time, he had even tried to advise Shen Yan, but Shen Yan just smiled and said nothing.

But at this moment, Lin Yang suddenly felt that he was so short-sighted; with a house, one could be unrestrained and have fun outside, and with a car, one could gallop across the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland at any time.

"Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not seeing through." This sentence inexplicably surfaced in Lin Yang's mind.

He had originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask Wu Yueer out, but now the plan had completely fallen through.

In his previous life, Shen Yan studied at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and after graduation, he lingered in Shanghai for a few years, so he could be said to know the situation of this city very deeply.

Arriving in Shanghai, Shen Yan took Hao Anqi to stroll through several famous attractions, such as the Pearl Tower, where they played for the thrill on the transparent glass skywalk 259 meters above the ground.

Although it wasn't her first time walking on a glass skywalk, the scenery here was truly a bit terrifying; fortunately, there were no special effects of the glass shattering or the sound of glass breaking added, otherwise, an average person would have been scared to tears.

However, even so, the usually bold and lively Hao Anqi walked on it with her legs trembling, hugging Shen Yan tightly and not daring to look down at all.

"Shuai Yan, this glass won't suddenly shatter, will it?"

"Maybe, holy crap! There's actually a crack there." Shen Yan suddenly pointed in a certain direction, revealing a panicked expression, his voice even trembling realistically.

"Oh my god! I want to go home."

Hao Anqi believed it to be true and jumped up on the spot, hanging onto Shen Yan like a koala, her whole body trembling with fear; Shen Yan was immediately overjoyed and said, "I'm kidding you, I didn't think you were such a coward."

"Ahhh! If you do that again, I'll be angry." Hao Anqi pouted her mouth high.

Seeing her face turn pale, Shen Yan knew the joke had gone a bit too far and hurriedly hugged her to comfort her.

After that, the two took a cruise across the river at The Bund to experience the beautiful charm of the international architecture, enjoyed various delicacies on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, and also visited the Shanghai Disneyland.

When driving past Yanggao Road in the Pudong New Area, Shen Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration; this area could be said to be the only remaining urban village within the inner ring of Shanghai. Metro Line 9 would add an exit here next year, and plus it was not far from the Science and Technology Museum, Century Park, and Lujiazui, so it would usher in a wave of demolition frenzy at that time.

He would think about it carefully when he got back; there should be quite a lot of room for maneuvering there.

The two-day and two-night journey ended, and on Monday morning, Shen Yan didn't even enter his home before driving non-stop to the East Campus teaching building.

Just after parking the car, he saw Lin Yang rushing over like a whirlwind on his e-bike; at this moment, his hair was messy, like a bird's nest.

It was estimated that last night was another game battle that made him forget to eat and sleep.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then ran wildly, entering the classroom before the bell finished ringing.

In the last row of the classroom, Wu Yueer was wearing a pink V-neck knit sweater, and black casual trousers wrapped her long legs tightly; after Shen Yan sat down, she snorted coldly at the air.

Shen Yan was completely confused and asked Lin Yang: "Did you provoke her again?"

Lin Yang shook his head; he hadn't seen Wu Yueer for two days, so how could he have offended her? The culprit was self-evident.

"Hey! Is your leg okay?" Shen Yan poked Wu Yueer's arm.

"I won't die!" Seeing that Shen Yan finally knew to care about her, Wu Yueer's expression softened slightly.

"What? Yue'er, is your leg injured?" Lin Yang hurriedly expressed concern, asking if she needed to buy some medicinal wine or something; Wu Yueer said no need, it was just a small injury.

Having hit a cold wall, Shen Yan was completely confused, but he was too lazy to guess Huniu's thoughts; resting his chin on his hand, his fingertips tapped lightly on the desktop, and he began to recall the development situation of various areas in Shanghai.

To get rich through demolition, one must first have a large sum of capital on hand; by the way, there was a stock that would see a large increase in a few days.

In his previous life, his finance teacher had mentioned a few cases, and Shen Yan had always kept it in mind; it was called Galaxy Power. The Jiangnan Military Industry Group suddenly injected capital and took a controlling stake in the company, and Galaxy Power transformed into a military stock, with its share price soaring by 250% in just half a month.

Opportunity knocks but once!

He absolutely could not let the real money slip through his fingers like that.
