Chapter 254: Being an Investor

~7 min read 1,229 words

After a long while, her face, as shy and lovely as peach blossoms, slowly turned back, her eyes hazy, her hand covering her red lips, a sweet and bashful smile curling at the corners of her mouth.

After her emotions settled, Chen Shanni realized she didn't seem to mind this intimate gesture; to be precise, she didn't mind it with Shen Yan.

She was even looking forward to it!

But he had a girlfriend, reality didn't allow it, and she didn't know what Shen Yan was thinking; she just hoped there wouldn't be any misunderstandings.

Chen Shanni took out her phone and started typing, typing and deleting, deleting and typing, repeating this several times, simply not knowing how to explain it.

Who would have thought that the next second, a message from Shen Yan would arrive.

"I left the handouts at your door; come out and get them when you have time."

Chen Shanni felt a warmth in her heart: "I'm sorry about the accident just now."

Shen Yan: "Haha, I don't mind at all. I thought you wouldn't dare to see anyone for at least a few days."

Chen Shanni's little face turned red again: "No way (sweat)... By the way, are you going back to school tomorrow morning?"

Shen Yan: "I still have things to handle in Shanghai, I probably won't go back until tomorrow night. If you're in a hurry, you can take the bus back first."

Chen Shanni: "Ok! Goodnight!"

"Goodnight!"

Putting down her phone, Chen Shanni tiptoed to the door, opened the lock with a "click," and sure enough, the handouts were lying at the doorway.

Picking them up to look, she saw that the several question marks marked on the pages actually had explanations noted next to them. Chen Shanni couldn't help but smile sweetly, and she happily returned to her room to study.

A good night's sleep!

The next morning, sunlight spilled into the room through the curtains. Shen Yan opened his eyes languidly, stretched, and then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Pulling back the curtains, he could clearly see the Huangpu River not far away. The surface of the river was sparkling, and occasionally ships would pass by, leaving behind long trails of water.

High-rise buildings stood on both banks, reflecting off the river surface to form a beautiful urban scroll. The most conspicuous Oriental Pearl Tower soared into the clouds, as if showing off the prosperity and brilliance of the Great Magic Capital to the people.

Although Tomson Riviera was not the most luxurious residential area in Shanghai, its unique geographical advantage still made it an ideal home in many people's minds.

At eight o'clock, Chen Jun and Wei Wenli were enjoying breakfast at the dining table. Seeing Shen Yan come out, they both enthusiastically invited him to eat something.

Shen Yan accepted generously.

"How was it? Did you sleep comfortably last night?" Chen Jun asked with a smile.

Shen Yan said it was quite good, sleeping until dawn. Before long, the nanny brought over a breakfast that was not overly luxurious or expensive.

Omelets, sausages, cheese, Apple, and fresh milk.

In fact, wealthy people are not as extravagant as they are on television; most of them have good living and dietary habits, and in their daily diet, they pay more attention to nutrition and food safety.

The three of them chatted while eating. Chen Jun didn't care why Shen Yan was staying in Shanghai, but instead asked if Shen Yan had any thoughts about changing his major.

"According to your current development direction, you should be able to realize that a law degree won't be of much use for making money in the future."

Chen Jun's idea was very simple: if Shen Yan planned to be his own boss, business management or industrial and commercial management would be good choices. Or switching to computer science would also be good; with Shen Yan's brain, he could soon delve into the field to a very deep level and work in research and development in the future.

Xiaogu Company was currently lacking high-end technical talent.

By this time, Shen Yan had already considered the path he would take in the future and said bluntly: "I plan to learn from Uncle Chen in the future and become an angel investor. Law is just a stepping stone; I can finish learning the relevant knowledge at any time."

"Oh?"

Speaking of investment, Chen Jun's eyes suddenly lit up, as if two bright stars were shining in the dark.

In recent years, he had invested in many fields of the internet, including UC Browser, Lakala, YY Voice, and other enterprises, and these enterprises were growing rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, showing strong vitality and potential.

When the time came for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit, it would undoubtedly bring rich returns.

And the fact that Shen Yan could pick out the mobile phone market as having great promise among many fields fully demonstrated that he possessed a certain foresight and keen insight.

So he asked curiously: "Then which industry are you planning to open a path in?"

"The internet is definitely the mainstream industry of the future, there is no doubt about that. As for other aspects... I won't show off in front of Uncle Chen, so as not to make a fool of myself," Shen Yan said with a laugh.

Chen Jun did not look down on Shen Yan because of this humble remark; on the contrary, he appreciated this young man more and more. In the dark, he had a feeling that Shen Yan would be an extraordinary person in the future.

Perhaps he might even surpass him.

After breakfast, watching the figure disappear at the door, Wei Wenli tentatively asked: "Lao Chen, it seems you appreciate Shen Yan very much?"

Chen Jun smiled and said: "This kid is quite like me when I was young; he's smart, has courage, is daring, and has a unique vision."

"He is indeed very excellent, and he is quite a good match for our daughter."

Hearing the subtext in his wife's words, Chen Jun didn't mind: "Our daughter is only 18, it's too early to talk about these things. Besides, there are so many excellent young people in the world, I will definitely find a man worth relying on for our daughter."

"But our daughter seems to have a good impression of Shen Yan." Wei Wenli frowned, her tone revealing a trace of worry.

Chen Jun smiled slightly, appearing very calm and composed: "Young people don't know what love is; it's just a whim. Our daughter will grow up eventually. Besides, Shen Yan's girlfriend is just a child from an ordinary family; the two of them probably won't last long. Everything is possible in the future."

Wei Wenli immediately captured the key information from his words. It turned out that her husband had long noticed their daughter's feelings, and to prevent her from getting hurt, he had done his homework in private.

She immediately teased: "Well, you, Lao Chen, you've even found out the background of that girl. Confess, do you have any ideas in your heart?"

Chen Jun: "..."

The sun was bright, and the sky was high and clear.

After leaving Tomson Riviera, Shen Yan drove along Lujiazui to the west, heading straight for the location of the urban village.
