Shen Lang didn't explain anything to her. It was indeed not an easy thing for this girl from the Eagle Kingdom, who had only been in direct contact with the Yanhuang Kingdom for three years, to understand the cultural heritage of five thousand years.
Led by Michelle, Shen Lang and Dong Xue arrived at a park less than a kilometer from the school. Because it was a weekday, there were few people in the park, only a few couples passing by, who didn't seem to be paying attention to them.
After arriving at the park, Michelle dialed Karena Lam's number: "Honey, I've found a solution for you. Do you have time to come over to my place now?"
"Um... Michelle, where are you?" Lin Jiaxin's hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding somewhat broken.
“I’m at Swan Lake Park next to the school,” Michelle said.
"Are you sure you can help me borrow 1 million?" Lin Jiaxin asked in a doubtful tone.
Michelle said, "My dear friend, you should believe me, I would never lie."
Lin Jiaxin, who was outside the ward, thought for a moment. She had known Mi Qier for three years and she was not one to make empty promises. So she said, "Okay, I'll take a taxi there now. Wait for me there."
"Okay! See you later!" Michelle happily hung up the phone.
Then he looked at Shen Lang and said, "Boss, she'll be here soon."
Shen Lang stood by the artificial lake in the park, intently watching several pairs of graceful swans floating on the lake, some black and some white.
"Winter Snow, have someone raise a few swans in the lake at our mountain resort. They look quite nice," Shen Lang said.
“Yes, young master,” Dongxue replied.
A short while later, Michelle led a small, thin girl into the park.
Behind the girl was a good-looking boy with a middle parting hairstyle.
Michelle led Lin Jiaxin to Shen Lang and introduced her, "Boss, this is my roommate, Lin Jiaxin."
Shen Lang glanced at Lin Jiaxin. Although her appearance was not as stunning as the other beauties in his family, she was already considered a top-tier beauty in the eyes of ordinary people.
Michelle then introduced Lin Jiaxin, "Darling, this is my boss."
Lin Jiaxin looked at the young Shen Lang and Dong Xue beside him, and greeted them somewhat timidly: "Hello."
At this moment, the man with the middle parting walked up to Shen Lang, extended his hand, and smiled, "Hello, I'm Jiaxin's boyfriend, my name is Lin Chen."
"Lin Chen, don't talk nonsense." Lin Jiaxin stomped her foot angrily as she looked at Lin Chen, who had taken the initiative to introduce her, and said coquettishly with a slightly flushed face.
Shen Lang investigated the information about this Lin Chen and couldn't help but chuckle. This Lin Chen was the nominal boyfriend of Gu Qingqing, the most beautiful girl in the Fine Arts Department of USTC. He was also dating two other female students from USTC and three girls from outside USTC.
Shen Lang didn't shake hands with him, but looked at Lin Chen and laughed, "Lin Chen, right? I want to know if you're Lin Jiaxin's boyfriend, or Gu Qingqing's boyfriend (the most beautiful girl in the art department), or Zhang Jingjing's girlfriend (from the finance department)..."
Before Shen Lang could finish speaking, Lin Chen hurriedly said, "Um... the department head needs to see me about something, so I'll be leaving now."
Then Lin Chen fled in a sorry state.
Lin Jiaxin was still trying to process what was happening. She had originally planned to visit Michelle alone, but she ran into Lin Chen, who was visiting his mother, at the hospital entrance. After learning that she needed to borrow money from Michelle, Lin Chen followed her under the pretext of protecting her safety. Lin Jiaxin didn't refuse this boy who had caught her eye and readily accepted his request to come along.
Lin Jiaxin looked at Shen Lang and asked, "Do you know Lin Chen?"
Shen Lang nodded and said, "I don't know him, but I have heard of his name."
Shen Lang did not expose Lin Chen's identity, because it was unrelated to his deal with Lin Jiaxin.
Then he looked at Karena Lam and said with a serious expression, "I heard about your situation from Michelle. I can give you 1 million, but it's not a loan."
"Then what do you mean?" Lin Jiaxin asked, puzzled.
Shen Lang stared at Lin Jiaxin and smiled, "We need to use something you have on you to make the deal."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaxin's expression changed, and she said in an unfriendly tone, "I'm sorry, but if it's such a dirty deal, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
She mistakenly believed that Shen Lang wanted to use money to support her.
Shen Lang could easily see through what she was thinking. He pointed at Dongxue and laughed, "Does Lin think the woman next to me isn't as pretty as you?"
Lin Jiaxin glanced over and saw the woman next to Shen Lang, who was wearing a white bodysuit and had an extremely good face and figure.
"Or do you think you're more alluring than Michelle?" Shen Lang continued.
After starting university, Lin Jiaxin was pursued by many wealthy young men, and some business owners outside the campus wanted to keep her as a mistress. She assumed Shen Lang was like them. However, after seeing Dongxue and Miqier, she felt inferior.
Michelle was ranked several places higher than him on the list of the most beautiful girls at USTC. Moreover, the woman in white next to Shen Lang looked more like a fairy.
"Then what do you want from me?" Lin Jiaxin asked uncertainly.
Shen Lang's mind raced for a moment, then he smiled and asked, "What do you think you have, Lin?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Jiaxin asked uncertainly.
Shen Lang said, "Let me introduce myself. I am a merchant who can trade everything. My name is Shen Lang."
"If I'm not mistaken, the only thing you can be proud of right now is your looks. So, I'll trade this million for your campus beauty face. What do you say?"
"Big brother, are you kidding me?" Lin Jiaxin looked at Shen Lang with amusement. She instantly felt that the young man in front of her must be crazy.
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "Whether you think I'm joking or crazy, as long as I can provide you with the money you need, that's fine."
"Okay, then I'll agree." Lin Jiaxin hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"No, no, no, think it over carefully. If I take away your good looks, you might only have the identity of a top student at the University of Science and Technology of China, and Lin Chen, who has been pursuing you, might leave you because of it." Shen Lang was not in a hurry to sign a contract with her, but let her think it over carefully. Otherwise, it would be pointless for her to come crying to him later if she regretted it.
Seeing that Shen Lang wasn't joking, Lin Jiaxin began to seriously consider the question. If what Shen Lang said was true, and she no longer had this appearance, would Lin Chen still like her? However, after thinking about the clear messages Lin Chen had written to her and the sweet words he exchanged on WeChat, she boldly made a decision.
And even if what Shen Lang said is true, so what if Lin Chen doesn't like her anymore? She has no intention of relying on her looks anyway, and the constant harassment she's received over the past three years has been very annoying. Perhaps without her good looks, she could have excelled in her studies.
With that thought in mind, Lin Jiaxin said firmly, "I agree."
