Chapter 705: The Naive Rich Beauty

~8 min read 1,548 words

The next day.

Shi Youxuan and Nianyin were hiding in a corner of the teaching building.

Nianyin glared at the man not far away: "Scumbag, is he actually a fraud?"

That man had come again; clearly, when she bought hers, he said it was the last set, and Nianyin had even "snatched" it from someone else's hands.

She was furious: "I'm going to call the police to arrest him."

Shi Youxuan: "Don't call the police. I'll go over and take a look. You go back to class; leave the rest to me." She walked over, knowing who this man was without even asking.

That's right, it was exactly as she had guessed.

The man looked very much like the old woman at the airport, only the old woman had a mean look, while this man's face carried a bit of craftiness and cunning.

"Beautiful lady, want to buy a commemorative coin? The latest release from Tianma Group, internal sales, you know. I've told you, you won't find this shop once you pass this village; you'll definitely regret it if you don't buy..."

"Is this real or fake?"

Shi Youxuan was wearing a sky-blue bubble-sleeve blouse and a long beige coat today, her hair draped casually behind her back, looking very young, just like a newly enrolled college student.

The man patted his chest to guarantee: "Real, one hundred percent real. If you don't believe me, beautiful lady, let me show you this."

He took out a pile of certificates, including authorization proofs and quality inspection reports.

With over a dozen various booklets added together, it looked quite convincing!

At this moment, a few people wearing school uniforms came over; although they were wearing school uniforms, they looked rowdy and lacked any scholarly air.

"Boss, these commemorative coins of yours are indeed real. My relative is in the Supervision Bureau; I took them to be tested, and hey, the purity is even higher than at a gold shop. You're too conscientious."

"How about it? I told you I was real, but you didn't believe me. I'm telling you, you should be secretly happy about this price. If it weren't for my wife being hospitalized and needing money, I wouldn't sell them even if you beat me to death..."

Today he had changed to a new script, different from what he said yesterday.

As they spoke, their eyes would glance toward Shi Youxuan from time to time; it was all said for her to hear.

The few people were all shills, and their coordination was quite good; one would say the first half, and another would pick up the second half.

They were setting a trap for Shi Youxuan without her noticing.

Shi Youxuan stared with her big eyes, looking at them ignorantly, not saying a word—neither saying she would buy nor that she wouldn't!

Every trick had been used once, and the few people felt their mouths were dry from talking.

But the young girl in front of them still had no reaction at all, which was a bit different from other college students, and the man was the first to lose his patience.

"Little girl, want to buy a set?"

"Not buying."

The man:...

Was the acting just now all for nothing?

The thin, tall one tried to entice her: "Buy it, it's especially cheap, a rare opportunity. Little girl, I don't think you look like someone who lacks money; it's just the price of a set of cosmetics, and you could turn around and sell it for two hundred thousand."

Shi Youxuan: "Then why doesn't he just sell it for two hundred thousand?"

The man: "I don't dare to sell it out there. If our company finds out, they will fire me."

Shi Youxuan sneered in her heart: You're overthinking it; someone like you couldn't even get into Tianma.

She complained in her heart, but on the surface, she put on an ignorant, naive appearance: "You're an employee of Tianma? That's amazing. But isn't the Tianma headquarters in the United States? Why did you come so far to sell commemorative coins?"

The man was slightly stunned.

Soon his expression returned to normal: "A little girl like you clearly doesn't understand society. Do you think I dare to sell them in the United States? The company is over there; I might be seen by colleagues, and if I'm reported, I'll be fired..."

"But if you sell them here, if I buy a fake one, where would I find you?"

The man saw there was a chance.

Immediately, his face lit up with a smile: "Little girl, you are truly cautious. Being careful is right, but being too cautious isn't good."

"In this day and age, the bold are stuffed to death while the timid starve to death; if you don't dare to try, you will always be poor..."

A Security Guard walked toward them.

The man immediately stuffed the commemorative coins into his chest and turned to run.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Before Shi Youxuan finished speaking, those people had already run so far that not even their shadows could be seen.

A guilty conscience.

The Security Guard wasn't coming for them at all; he was just passing by.

The two of them walked past her calmly and went to the supermarket at the other end of the school gate to buy a few packs of instant noodles before returning.

Shi Youxuan stood where she was, not moving.

After a while.

The man came back sneakily: "Little girl, are you buying or not?"

Shi Youxuan: "I was planning to buy them, but now I'm not going to. Why did you all run away when the Security Guard came? You're all in this together, aren't you?"

The man immediately explained: "No, no, it was just a coincidence. Little girl, it's a great deal to buy now; once you pass this village, you won't find this shop..."

He rambled on, not stopping for half an hour.

This man could really talk.

If Shi Youxuan weren't the Chairman of Tianma Group, she might have actually believed him just by listening to him.

"Fine, I'll buy it."

"Good, little girl, you really know your stuff. I'm telling you, only a little girl like you has a future; you deserve to get rich..."

This guy was eloquent, with smiles at the corners of his eyes and brows.

But after praising her for a long time, he didn't see Shi Youxuan take out any money, so he reminded her: "Ten thousand yuan, please."

Shi Youxuan: "I didn't bring any money."

The man: "Alipay or WeChat are both fine."

Shi Youxuan spread her hands: "I didn't bring my phone either."

The man:...

"Are you actually sincere about buying or not?"

Shi Youxuan nodded: "I am. If I didn't want to buy it, I would have left when you ran off just now. Why would I still be waiting here?"

That made sense, but what would she use to pay if she had no money?

Shi Youxuan said: "My home is nearby. Why don't you come home with me to get the money? It's very close."

The man hesitated: "Little girl, who is at your house? They won't mistake me for a swindler and have me arrested, will they? Why don't you borrow some from your classmates? The students here all have money; it's easy to borrow."

Economic and Trade College.

It is a very famous business university in Jiangzhou.

The students here are either rich or noble; everyone's family has money, and ten thousand yuan isn't even enough for a month's allowance.

That is why he chose this place to peddle commemorative coins.

Even if they realized they had been swindled later, it wouldn't matter; the students here wouldn't come after him for ten thousand yuan—it wouldn't even be worth the embarrassment.

But going to someone's house to get money was different.

Students are naive and have too much money.

Parents have money but are not naive; most are successful businesspeople who don't tolerate any nonsense, won't be taken for a ride for nothing, and he might even be used as a negative example and lectured on the spot.

So he hesitated and didn't want to go.

But Shi Youxuan made a bitter face: "Since you don't want to go back with me to get it, then forget it. I'm a new international student, and I'm not familiar with the classmates here. It's not great to borrow money just after meeting them."

"You're an international student?" The man's eyes lit up again.

"Mm."

Shi Youxuan nodded: "That's right."

"Then aren't your family members accompanying you for your studies?"

"They are accompanying me. My family's butler came with me. Why are you asking all this?"

"Nothing, nothing at all. I'll go with you to get it." He was relieved now and happily prepared to follow Shi Youxuan "home" to collect the money.

With a butler there, there was nothing to fear.

The man even wondered if he should try to peddle a few more sets.

The two left the campus, and a white Maserati was parked by the side of the road.

The car door opened, and Shi Youxuan took the initiative to open the back door for the man: "Please, get in."
