Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 279 - 138: Asset Inventory, Showing Off Always Happens Unintentionally_3

Although the Bai Weixi of his previous life was a green tea, she had the capital to back it up. She was a top student from a 985 university with the looks of a campus belle. On a hundred-point scale, she would easily score above 95. Wang Yuchen, in contrast, would score an 80 at best. The difference was staggering.

Similarly, once a girl like that experienced the true luxury of Modu, her standards for a significant other would rapidly skyrocket. This was a common flaw among the vast majority of girls.

Li Yuan recalled that in his previous life, before he was reborn, he had not heard any news about Wang Yuchen getting married, even a full decade after their graduation.

Li Yuan patted Xu Zhi’s shoulder and chuckled. "Dazhi, you’re not dumb. Focus on completely winning over Little Chili first. After that, everything will be much easier."

Xu Zhi nodded emphatically in agreement. He was already working toward that goal, but Wang Yuchen was highly guarded. Perhaps because their relationship had not progressed far enough, she always pulled back at the final moment.

Thinking of Bai Weixi and the other pure, shy girl by Li Yuan’s side, Xu Zhi sighed with emotion. "Yuan, you’re on another level. Your skills with girls are way beyond mine."

Li Yuan just smiled. "Pursuing girls certainly requires certain techniques, but the most fundamental thing is self-improvement. When you’re outstanding enough, beautiful girls will flock to you like moths to a flame."

Xu Zhi nodded thoughtfully. "Yuan, I get it."

"Oh? What do you get? Tell me," Li Yuan asked curiously.

Xu Zhi’s eyes burned with intensity as he spoke. "Money is a man’s backbone. You can only stand tall if you have money. I want to make money. A lot of money."

"Yuan, take me with you."

Li Yuan laughed heartily, a sense of gratification welling up inside him. Xu Zhi and Wang Shuai aren’t stupid, but they never amounted to much in my past life, mainly due to a lack of vision.

As the saying goes, even a hero needs his allies. Li Yuan was more than willing to help nurture trustworthy friends like Xu Zhi and Wang Shuai. Of course, it was best if they took the initiative to ask him first.

Li Yuan revealed a small piece of information to Xu Zhi. "Dazhi, I’ve started a company. In a while, we’ll be rolling out some business operations at various universities. When that time comes, I hope you can come help me. I’ll also talk to handsome guy and ask his opinion. I hope that in the future, we brothers can all put down roots, settle in Modu, and build successful careers for ourselves."

Xu Zhi looked at Li Yuan and, without the slightest hesitation or even asking what kind of business it was, nodded in agreement. "Yuan, we’re brothers. Just say the word. You point, and I’ll shoot."

Li Yuan smiled in satisfaction. He had been waiting for Xu Zhi to say exactly that.

"Alright, your word is enough. Let’s get some lunch first."

When Wang Yuchen saw that Xu Zhi had actually arrived, she huffed softly, her expression clearly displeased. Xu Zhi cheekily sat down beside her and began to shamelessly fawn over her, unleashing a torrent of cheesy compliments. The sheer corniness of his words made Li Yuan’s scalp tingle. He was just now discovering that his good friend of two lifetimes had unbelievably thick skin. At the very least, when it came to chasing girls, his relentless, cheesy chatter guaranteed he would never lack a girlfriend in college.

As they ate hotpot, the conversation eventually turned to their plans for the National Day holiday.

Bai Weixi looked at Li Yuan expectantly. "Li Yuan, where are we going for National Day?"

Li Yuan glanced at her while swishing a slice of tripe in the bubbling broth and said with a faint smile, "Bai, I forgot to tell you, the company will be pretty busy over the holiday. I need to go on a business trip, so I might not have much time to spend with you."

The hope in Bai Weixi’s heart shattered. "Oh, I see," she replied in a daze, her eyes already glistening with tears.

Li Yuan reached under the table and took her hand. "However," he said with a smile, "I can spend the entire day with you today."

Bai Weixi immediately smiled through her tears and looked at him earnestly. "Really? Then you have to spend the whole day with me properly today."

Since starting university, Li Yuan had spent very little time with her. The promise of one full day together was enough to leave her feeling surprised and deeply content.

Li Yuan smiled and nodded.

Xu Zhi secretly gave Li Yuan a thumbs-up. Can it really be that easy? Damn, it’s good to be rich. Your girlfriend becomes endlessly tolerant. You can spend just one day with her out of the entire National Day holiday, and she’ll be deeply moved.

At that moment, Xu Zhi had an epiphany.

After the meal, Li Yuan promptly suggested they go car shopping.

Xu Zhi asked enviously, "Yuan, what brand of car are you planning to buy?"

Li Yuan had a few options in mind, but he decided to ask for Bai Weixi’s opinion first. "Bai, which car has caught your eye?"

Bai Weixi thought about the cars she had spent half the day researching online yesterday. After comparing them all, she had indeed settled on a few models. "Li Yuan, I think BMWs are nice."

She likes BMWs? Li Yuan murmured to himself. He had thought she would prefer Mercedes-Benz.

Still, a BMW was fine. Many girls would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle. Li Yuan wondered if, in this life, there would be any girls willing to cry in his BMW.

***

Li Yuan drove to a BMW 4S flagship store in Modu.

Getting out of the car, Xu Zhi gazed at the sprawling, lavishly decorated dealership teeming with people and couldn’t help but marvel. "So this is the legendary ’Four Sons Store’? It’s my first time in one."

Bai Weixi and Wang Yuchen also looked on with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness. Seeing pictures online was a completely different feeling from seeing the actual cars in person.

Wang Yuchen said with envy in her voice, "A BMW... Wow. Bai, we have to get a good look today. I’ve only been in a BMW once my entire life, and it was my dad’s boss’s car."
