Chapter 9 Chapter 9 (Revised) Why not make a deal with me...
Chen Muyun suddenly felt something was wrong. In this way, he was being controlled, and he was the so-called leading man. Isn't this a sign that the crematorium is about to begin? No, he had to find a way to repay this favor and get out of this situation quickly.
Lu Huainan put down the teacup in his hand, leaned back on the bamboo chair, looked up at the moon. There was silence all around, and the crickets that had been chirping just now suddenly stopped making any sound.
"So, you can't be thinking about something immoral, right? I won't accept that."
Lu Huainan paused, looking at the flowers on the table thoughtfully, and picked up a bouquet. "This happened suddenly, and I can't think of any reasonable exchange terms right now. How about this, I'll tell you when I think of one?"
Chen Muyun narrowed his eyes and casually fiddled with the champagne roses on the table, imitating the people in the flower shop who were waking up the flowers. With a few "pops", a lot of rose petals fell down, but the roses did not become more beautiful, let alone fragrant. Instead, they became wilted.
Lu Huainan just picked a petal casually and rubbed it in his hands.
He just offended Lu Luozhi, and now he has provoked Lu Huainan. What kind of good luck is this that he has encountered all of them.
"Um, I don't seem to have your WeChat ID or phone number."
Lu Huainan took the phone and waved it towards Shen Muyun, “QR code.”
System, oh system, this will show you what it means to be hated by everyone and then suddenly become popular with everyone. Strength is strength, and the task can be completed easily.
But...this Lu Huainan is probably not as simple as he seems. He will definitely have a close relationship with him in the future.
"Businessmen always have to pay back the profits they make, but I won't make it difficult for you. You can choose to fulfill my request, or refuse it, and I can just replace it with another one."
Is this the mission, so simple? Shen Muyun opened his eyes wide. Well, it is a bit too simple, but there are three of them. Who knows what strange things will come next.
"Well, do you need a written agreement?"
"No need, the Shen family never breaks their promises."
The clock outside rang ten, and the banquet was almost over. Lu Huainan nodded and said, "As the host of the banquet, I have to go back. However, Master Shen, if you want to bid for that gem, we should go back together."
Chen Muyun breathed a sigh of relief and decided to speak out what was in his heart. "Um, can you help me to the end? I recently invested in the stock market and I'm currently short of funds. 50 million is really..."
Lu Huainan was somewhat surprised. He still remembered how arrogant he was on the cruise ship that day. He had never seen him like this before. He also didn't expect that the second young master of the Shen family would worry about money. Is this a dual personality? Interesting.
Lu Huainan took out a check, wrote the amount on it, and handed it to Shen Muyun. "50 million. The banquet is almost over now. We have to go back and take a look. I don't think many people have bid. If it's not enough, I can continue to increase the bid. However, Second Young Master Shen looks determined to win. Is he moved by the love story of the gem, or is he just collecting it?"
Shen Muyun walked out of the small garden with Lu Huainan. The moonlight was not bright, but he could see the small stones under his feet. He kicked them as if possessed by a ghost, and "plop", the small stones fell into the water.
The corners of Lu Huainan's mouth curled up into an imperceptible smile, "Master Shen is really interesting."
“Well, even if it’s a collection, I don’t have any hobbies. I like things like glowing little stones and some out-of-print CDs. There’s no need to be so unfamiliar. Just call me Chen Muyun.”
"Hmm? Well, you're older than me, so it's only natural for me to call you Brother Yun."
Shen Muyun's brain suddenly shut down, it seemed that it was indeed quite appropriate, "Ah, that, um, that's fine, it's up to you, you can call me whatever you want."
Lu Huainan walked in front and said nothing more.
Shen Muyun deliberately walked slower, but Lu Huainan didn't care and signaled him to go ahead.
"Wow! Host, what's going on with you? Could it be that... you've hooked up with the Lu family's heir so early? That would be a great opportunity!"
"System, when did you come out? No, it's impossible. Don't think too much. It's just a matter of money. Can't you see it?"
"I really can't tell..." the system muttered a few words.
"You are a cold machine, how can you have human emotions?"
"Who said I don't have it? After all, it's been hundreds of years, so I must have developed the ability to read people's expressions. I just have it!"
Shen Muyun pinched the two small wings of the system. Well, it was just fun.
"Okay, so what? No one loves me, I'm just a cabbage that rots in the field. However, the system has launched a very boring system, which is an improved version of the favorability system."
"You said it's useless, then it's useless."
"This time it might have worked. Currently, Lu Huainan's favorability is 20, which is not bad. Host, please keep up the good work."
Shen Muyun shook his head.
"Didn't you say that favorability doesn't play a big role, it's just a useless system, and Lu Huainan is only the second male lead, I'm the first male lead, and this book should revolve around me."
The system smiled coldly, "Oh, respected host, I seem to have forgotten to tell you that due to the changes in the main plot, the world view has been messed up. Now Lu Huainan is also the male lead, so if you want to know the current direction of this book, let me take a look..."
The system flashed various lights and made beeping sounds from time to time, as if it was searching for some information.
"Well, it's a dual-male-lead storyline. Wow, host, you've opened up a new path. Although I'm a new system, I've experienced several hosts, and they all had no CP. Congratulations, host, for unlocking an unknown path. Flowers and applause are for you!"
"Boot up! Boot up! This system has been around for a hundred years, and I've never seen anything like this!"
Chen Muyun frowned, looking at the roses on the system display screen. Tsk, is it possible that everyone in this world likes roses, or do roses have some other meaning?
"System, I have to admit, you're quite good at being a chatterbox. I only have three years to live, which, in your worldview, is equivalent to a shooting star."
Shen Muyun walked in the dark, the gravel road under his feet was bumpy. Walking forward, he saw that many people from the main venue of the banquet had already come out.
Everyone was talking about today's prize, and no one was interested in the gem until now.
"That's right, that thing is cursed."
"The Bai family in Beijing, that's a testament to whoever takes it will be unlucky and suffer misfortune."
"Last year, the asking price was only 30 million yuan. The Lu family just raised the price from the ground up, making a net profit of 20 million yuan. Isn't this just a case of whoever buys it gets blamed?"
Shen Muyun didn't think too much about it. No matter how much it was, since no one was competing with him or robbing him, it would be 50 million. This matter would be easy to solve. He still had some funds on his card, plus Lu Huainan's check, so it was settled.
Shen Muyun did not go to the corner this time, but went directly to the front row.
"Muyun, where have you been?"
Shen Liuyun’s voice came from behind Shen Muyun.
"Brother, didn't I tell you that I was just taking a stroll and didn't expect it to be late. You won't blame me, will you?"
"Of course not."
Shen Liuyun rubbed Shen Muyun’s soft hair affectionately, but Shen Muyun felt a little different from before, but he couldn’t tell why.
"I thought you'd gone home. This is the first time we two brothers have attended a banquet like this together. You seem to be in a much better mood and you don't say those weird things anymore. Are you having trouble adapting?"
"Well, I'm not used to it."
Shen Liuyun is more like a villain, especially that pair of gold-wire mirror frames. Who knows how many secrets are hidden underneath.
Chen Muyun pointed at the Kashmir sapphire on the stage and said, "Brother, as the Shen family is a wealthy family in Jiangcheng, it's no problem for them to do charity. I want this stone."
Shen Liuyun frowned, always feeling that Shen Muyun's temperament changed drastically after falling into the water, and now it was even more confirmed that he was different.
"Muyun, you didn't care about these things before. Why? Does this stone have any commemorative significance?"
"Well, it just looks good. People always have the desire to pursue beautiful things, and I am no exception. Brother, don't think too much about it."
Shen Muyun walked directly to the stage with the price tag and bid 5000w. As expected, no one in the audience followed suit.
"Tsk, the Shen family is really rich. They paid such a high price for such a broken stone. Even if it is precious, it shouldn't be that high."
"This thing is cursed. Haven't you heard that anyone who takes this stone will have a bad ending? The second young master of the Shen family is a lunatic. He actually likes such a thing. Let me tell you, maybe the Lu family also has bad luck because of this thing, so they auctioned it off after only a year."
"What's the point of cursing or not? Can't you think of something positive? Ten percent of the donations will go to rescue stray cats and dogs and build new homes for them. You say the Shen family is wealthy, but they're trying to expand into different fields and build up their image."
Shen Muyun completely ignored the discussions in the audience and walked straight to the display case, took out the box, and showed it to everyone, "It's mine!"
Chen Muyun looked at Zhou Shiqing in the audience with satisfaction. His little tricks were just resolved like that.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to Master Su Nanfeng for completing the mission and obtaining 5,000 tokens. Tokens are hard-earned, so be careful with your spending."
Shen Muyun saw the display and the money was credited in real time. That was good, but wasn't this gem a very important token? How could it be worth so little? He wouldn't have to break his arms and legs to get a lot of points, would he?
Zhou Shiqing's face turned gloomy in an instant. He never thought that Shen Muyun could really take a picture of this gem. Doesn't that mean that he lost a lot of money investing in stocks and futures recently? Damn, who provided this fake news?
Shen Muyun came down from the stage, deliberately bumped Zhou Shiqing's shoulder, and smiled coldly, "A mere 50 million, Zhou Shiqing, you lost this game, do you think the loser should do something?"
"Chen Muyun, you just hit a useless piece of stone, why are you so complacent?"
"I'm not feeling proud. Oh, I just like seeing you unable to defeat me. There's also a kind of funny feeling of a cornered dog jumping over the wall. Zhou Shiqing, the Zhou family's reputation is just average to begin with. I think you should just put away your little claws and stay away. Besides, the Shen and Zhou families are preparing a new contract recently. Why do you still want to confront me at this juncture?"
"You! Chen Muyun, don't be so arrogant! Don't forget that we still have a horse race on Saturday, and it's not certain who will win or lose!"
"Then, let's hope that Master Zhou will have a successful start."
