I am not just a tycoon

"Right, I'm Shen Yuan, and I can prove this message really came from Huang himself."

"Correct, I am the computer, and it was indeed Huang who just used me to send these replies."

"I am the keyboard, and I can also confirm, it was Huang who was typing the reply on me just now."

"What they said is true; I am the network cable, and I was the one who just sent out the reply."

"..."

The replies below got increasingly ridiculous, and Huang Haibao couldn't help but curse, "These idiots!"

Many people who are honest in real life show an unexpected side online, and Huang Haibao was helpless against them.

Cao Shunjin laughed from behind, "Don't bother explaining anymore, anyway, not everyone will believe these funny posts above."

Huang Haibao gritted his teeth, "Can only do this, but I really do want to go through the network cable and beat these people up."

"Heh, you?"

Cao Shunjin disdainfully said, "You only have strong punches online; face-to-face, you probably can't even speak properly, can you?"

"Old Cao, can you die if you don't pick on me for one day!"

"..."

While 503 was continuously keeping up with the developments, Fang Minhui also occasionally checked it out. When she saw the headline "Startup Hub's Five Golden Flowers," she felt a pang of sadness.

But when she saw someone slandering Shen Yuan, she would refute beneath the posts.

"That's not true, Shen Yuan made his own fortune. He doesn't have high official parents or a rich woman sponsor..."

After firing out the response, her reply sank without a trace, and Fang Minhui continued scrolling.

As she browsed, the versions about Shen Yuan's rumored girlfriend proliferated, and seeing that people were more inclined to believe that Sister Fang was Shen Yuan's girlfriend, she couldn't help but smile.

Meanwhile, in the counselor's office, Sun Yuan was also indulging in the gossip.

Normally she didn't pay attention to such college gossip, but this time the protagonist was Shen Yuan, and he happened to be Teacher Lih's boyfriend, which made the gossip all the more juicy.

Despite knowing that much of it was false, she still found it enthralling.

It was just like following celebrity gossip; knowing well that many accounts fabricate stories, yet still finding it addictive.

Especially when people mentioned that Fang Minhui was Shen Yuan's official girlfriend, she scoffed dismissively.

Not at all, Shen Yuan's real girlfriend is Teacher Lih, they just haven't gone public yet!

Right then, Lih Xiao returned to her desk. Sun Yuan rolled her chair over, whispering, "Teacher Lih, the school's forums and public accounts are bursting with news about your Shen Yuan."

Lih Xiao's cheeks reddened, and she nervously looked around the office to make sure no one was listening before making a "shush" gesture, "Yuanyuan, let's not talk about this in the office, just in case someone overhears."

"Ha ha, don't worry, no one will hear."

Sun Yuan giggled, "You don't know how fun those posts are. Some say Shen Yuan was kept by someone, others say his dad is a high official—really hilarious. You should check them out when you have time."

Lih Xiao pursed her lips and remained silent; she usually didn't follow such ridiculous posts.

"Oh right, some even say that Shen Yuan's girlfriend is your class's Fang Minhui—how funny is that? His real girlfriend is obviously you. Should I help you clarify that with a post..."

Lih Xiao suddenly interrupted, "Wait, Yuanyuan, what did you just say?"

Sun Yuan, puzzled, replied, "I proposed to make a post to explain it, is there something wrong?"

Lih Xiao shook her head, "No, the sentence before that."

Sun Yuan blinked, "Someone said Shen Yan's girlfriend is Fang Minhui."

"Fang Minhui?"

Lih Xiao's heart suddenly clenched. There had been rumors about them last semester, but it was just after Shen Yuan had broken up and was starting to date her; how could he be involved with Fang Minhui?

But why was it brought up again after the whole summer break?

"Teacher Lih, no way..."

Sun Yuan suddenly had an ominous premonition, "Fang Minhui couldn't really be Shen Yuan's—"

"No, just asking."

Lih Xiao smoothed her hair to cover up; she wouldn't take a post too seriously. Last time, there was a misunderstanding when Shen Yuan went to a club, so she should be more cautious this time.

"I'll find a way to sound her out."

Lih Xiao reassured herself; this time it should also be a misunderstanding, as Fang Minhui had never made any official announcement.

...

While the situation continued to ferment, Shen Yuan had already driven back to Star City, directly taking two people to the residential complex's sales office to book two apartments.

Her two best friends not only wanted the same block but also the same floor, even if not the same layout.

In the end, she registered Long Jinghan for a 164 square meters flat and Qiao Lei for a 155 square meters flat.

The building was right next to Liew Menglu's, so if Shen Yuan visited any of them, the other two could swiftly come over for mahjong.

Years later, when they all had children, one could imagine the lively scene.

Purchasing the houses cost 5.68 million, boosting their Feel-good Index to 84 and 82 respectively, and Shen Yuan also gained a benefit of 11.36 million through triple returns.

Additionally, Ji Ya helped Long Jinghan's parents buy a house and car, under Long Jinghan's name, spending 1.26 million and also gaining a benefit of 2.52 million, making today a very fruitful day.

After buying the houses, Long Jinghan went off to busy herself with foundation matters, and Qiao Lei was sent back by Shen Yuan, who now had significant managerial responsibilities.

Liew Menglu, feeling aggrieved from not getting any treats the night before, proposed to visit him, and thinking he had indeed neglected her the past few days, Shen Yuan let her drive over herself.
