Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Seize the Opportunity_1

After the meal.

Shen Dong drove, taking Chen Yufang back to the company.

"Shen Dong, by now Yuting must regret breaking up with you."

Truth be told, Chen Yufang felt sorrow for Chen Yuting.

The current Shen Dong had the Dongyan Guild and Shuidilao, and he had also invested in "The Battle Tiger" film; now, he had even invested in Yikang Pharmaceutical.

The final box office of "The Battle Tiger" hadn’t come out yet, so it was unknown how much money Shen Dong would make.

Based on the performance during the Spring Festival slot, the box office should surpass one billion, and, as the biggest investor, Shen Dong was certain to make quite a bit.

The cancer treatment drug being developed by Yikang Pharmaceutical hadn’t been completed yet, so its benefits were still not visible.

But with just the Dongyan Guild and Shuidilao, Shen Dong’s net worth had definitely surpassed twenty billion.

The hosts in Dongyan Guild were selling goods through live streams, making a handsome income every day.

Shuidilao was even more impressive. According to restaurant industry analysts, Shuidilao’s current valuation had already reached twenty billion.

If Yikang Pharmaceutical really managed to develop that cancer treatment drug, with Shen Dong holding twenty percent of its shares, his net worth would absolutely skyrocket, making him a billionaire.

And Shen Dong hadn’t even graduated for a full year yet.

A billionaire, it was simply unimaginable.

To say that Yuting did not regret it was impossible.

The Liu Chao who pursued Yuting was just a minor rich second generation, with only a few billion in family assets; he was simply no match for Shen Dong.

And given Shen Dong’s demonstrated potential, he was bound not to stop at being just a billionaire.

Hearing Chen Yufang’s words, Shen Dong smiled but said nothing.

He didn’t know what to say; he felt that anything he said wouldn’t be quite right, so he chose to say nothing at all.

Now, his heart only had space for Chen Yuyan; as for Chen Yuting, she had long since faded from his life.

After dropping Chen Yufang off at the law firm, Shen Dong drove back to Dongyan Company and arrived at Chen Yuyan’s office.

"How did it go, did you invest?" Chen Yuyan knew that Shen Dong went to discuss investing in Yikang Pharmaceutical, and as soon as she saw him return, she immediately came over to ask.

"I invested..." Shen Dong explained the situation.

"You mean to say, if the cancer treatment drug developed by Yikang Pharmaceutical is successful, you could become a billionaire?" Chen Yuyan’s eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, and you’ll be the wife of a billionaire," Shen Dong laughed.

"Husband, you’re amazing!" Chen Yuyan felt an immense pride.

"By the way, did you ask dad if he went to work with Mrs. Lin this morning?" Shen Dong sat down on the nearby sofa, gossiping.

One should take a proper interest in one’s father-in-law’s love life, after all.

"I didn’t ask my dad; I asked Mrs. Lin, and they did go to work together, hee hee," Chen Yuyan chuckled.

"That’s good, I think they really make a good match. I hope they really can be together. Dad might feel embarrassed; he’ll need your help," Shen Dong laughed.

"Mhm, mhm, I’ll definitely make every effort to help dad find a new lease on love," Chen Yuyan nodded vigorously, shaking her small fist, "If dad is with Mrs. Lin, it’ll also put a stop to any inappropriate thoughts Feng Lijuan might have!"

...

Shuidilao.

Chen Yuanxiang and Lin Shulei got off work together.

As soon as they got into the car, Chen Yuanxiang’s phone started ringing.

Chen Yuanxiang took out his phone and, seeing that the call was from Feng Lijuan, his brow immediately furrowed.

Today, Feng Lijuan had made several calls already, none of which he had answered, and now she was calling again.

After a moment’s thought, Chen Yuanxiang still answered the call.

Upon answering, he heard Feng Lijuan’s somewhat coquettish and complaining voice, "Yuanxiang, I’ve called you several times today, why didn’t you answer?"

"I was busy during the day, didn’t notice," Chen Yuanxiang replied indifferently.

"Are you free now? I want to treat you to a meal at the Old Friends Restaurant, the one we used to go to often. You should remember it, right?"

The restaurant Feng Lijuan mentioned was one they frequented during the passionate days of their relationship.

The food was good, and the price was reasonable.

One could say that the place held very beautiful memories for the two of them.

Feng Lijuan was intent on using this restaurant to evoke those pleasant memories from the past, hoping to win back Chen Yuanxiang’s heart.

"Feng Lijuan, I’ve already told you, I won’t get back together with you. You’re wasting your effort," Chen Yuanxiang understood Feng Lijuan’s intentions, but was unmoved.

He had seen through Feng Lijuan’s character and no matter what she said or did, he would not reconcile with her.

Without waiting for Feng Lijuan to say anything more, he hung up the phone.

"Bastard." Feng Lijuan, on the other end of the line, heard the beeping sound from the phone, her face an ashen hue, grinding her teeth in anger, "Chen Yuanxiang, I don’t believe you can reject me."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuanxiang drove home.

Lin Shulei, who was sitting in the passenger’s seat, had overheard their conversation and could pretty much figure out the situation.

Clearly, Chen Yuanxiang’s ex-wife wanted to reconcile with him.

This gave Lin Shulei a sense of crisis.

She truly liked Chen Yuanxiang.

She hadn’t married all these years simply because she hadn’t met a man who stirred her heart.

She wouldn’t settle which is why she remained unmarried at thirty-nine.

Chen Yuanxiang was the man who touched her heart.

Having met him, she didn’t want to let him go.

Fate had arranged for them to become neighbors, an opportunity that she had to seize.

Chen Yuyan had told her about Chen Yuanxiang’s family situation.

When Chen Yuanxiang fell on hard times, his ex-wife Feng Lijuan left him, taking their younger daughter with her.

Over the years, Chen Yuanxiang ran a small restaurant by himself, raising his elder daughter Chen Yuyan.

When Chen Yuyan got together with Shen Dong, who established Shuidilao, she had Chen Yuanxiang manage Shuidilao.

Chen Yuanxiang became the general manager of Shuidilao, no longer the mediocre owner of a small restaurant.

Feng Lijuan’s current husband was facing career struggles, and it was very likely he would continue on a downward spiral.

Therefore, Feng Lijuan wanted to reconcile with Chen Yuanxiang.

Chen Yuanxiang and Lin Shulei returned to their complex, and as they reached their floor and were about to part ways to their respective homes, Lin Shulei bit her red lips and mustered up the courage, "Mr. Chen, thank you for giving me a ride to and from work these past few days. I would like to invite you over for dinner, please come to my place."

She didn’t call him by his first name as Chen Yuyan had suggested, still accustomed to calling him Mr. Chen.

Their relationship hadn’t progressed to that level, and she simply felt too embarrassed to call him by his first name.

After speaking, she anxiously awaited Chen Yuanxiang’s response.

If Chen Yuanxiang wasn’t interested in her, he would refuse.

If Chen Yuanxiang was interested, he would likely accept.

"Okay," Chen Yuanxiang hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "I’ll go back to my place first, then I’ll come over."

He was quite fond of Lin Shulei as well. His daughter’s matchmaking efforts were one thing, but he had his own intentions too.

He was also trying to confirm Lin Shulei’s feelings.

Since Lin Shulei had taken such an initiative, if he didn’t respond, this potential romance would go nowhere.

However, he couldn’t just go over to Lin Shulei’s place right now; he needed to go home first and then go over later.

"Alright, I won’t lock the door. Just come in when you arrive," Lin Shulei said happily.

"Okay," Chen Yuanxiang nodded slightly.
