Dashing Student

Chapter 326 - 326, That Night

Life is like rape!

If you can’t change it, you might as well calm down and enjoy it.

This was precisely Zhu Keren’s mindset at the moment.

If she had known about Chen Nan’s schemes and plots, she would have never come to his room.

She didn’t want Liu Yiyi to see her debauched form.

Nor did she want her to know that she had betrayed her own husband.

But now...

Since it had already happened, she might as well properly enjoy the harmonious teacher-student relationship...

Liu Yiyi, her face flushed with shame, watched the scene of Chen Nan and Zhu Keren together, feeling a surge of heat within her while being shocked by Zhu Keren’s seductive expression.

Even seeing it with her own eyes, she could hardly believe that the usually dignified and elegant beauty of a teacher could behave like a wanton woman in private.

The most critical thing was...

This wasn’t her husband!

It was crazy!

And very thrilling!

This night was unforgettable for Chen Nan, Liu Yiyi, and Zhu Keren alike.

The three of them enjoyed the pleasures of their intimate dealings.

They continued until the sky was almost bright when Liu Yiyi and Zhu Keren eventually cuddled up in Chen Nan’s arms and fell asleep one after the other.

It wasn’t until one o’clock in the afternoon.

That the three of them eventually woke up.

They glanced at the class group chat and saw that their classmates had left one after another in the morning.

Although Zhu Keren and Liu Yiyi weren’t seen, everyone didn’t think much of it and assumed they had left earlier.

However...

No one could have imagined that Zhu Keren and Liu Yiyi hadn’t left but had spent a crazy night with Chen Nan!

After waking up, Chen Nan had the hotel staff bring some lunch. After eating, they started another wild and passionate encounter.

Although Zhu Keren and Liu Yiyi were very tired.

They cooperated wholeheartedly with Chen Nan because after last night’s interaction, the teacher and student were already working together very smoothly.

Moreover, they both knew that after parting this time, it might be difficult for them to meet again in the future.

So they cherished the time they had now.

------

It was already seven o’clock in the evening when they returned to downtown.

Chen Nan bid farewell to Zhu Keren and Liu Yiyi and, reinvigorated, headed to the business street.

Seeing that the businesses of the three herbal tea shops were booming made a faint smile appear on his face.

He knew.

The herbal tea shops had completely established themselves in Jizhou.

Especially after the university entrance exams, business had been much better than before.

What he needed to do next was to expand the brand’s influence.

And open branches all over the country.

After inspecting the three shops.

Chen Nan didn’t see Xu Lu.

After calling to inquire, he found out she was at the brand image store, which was a ten-minute walk from the business street.

"The flagship store has been under renovation for so long, and I, the boss, haven’t even inspected it yet. That’s somewhat irresponsible of me!" Chen Nan’s lips curled into a bitter smile as he arrived at the base of a majestic office building.

From a distance, he could see a sign in the middle of the office building, hanging with a rich traditional Chinese flair, twinkling under the night sky with colorful neon lights, very eye-catching.

At this moment.

The hard installations in the store were already complete; what followed was the soft installations, like purchasing some tables and chairs for customers to rest, and large water purifiers, among other things.

Although these were small items, they represented a substantial investment.

Just as he entered the store, Chen Nan saw Xu Lu busy at her laptop. She was dressed in a white T-shirt paired with black pencil pants, her long hair casually draped, adding a bit of a charming aura to her.

He and Xu Lu saw each other daily, but today Chen Nan realized that she had become much thinner and more haggard due to her busyness with the renovations.

He approached her, his face full of apology, and said, "You’ve worked hard during this period."

"This is what I should do." Xu Lu revealed a sweet smile, then seemed to remember something, excitedly saying, "Didn’t you ask me to look out for large shop rentals in the core area of the provincial capital? I’ve been keeping an eye online these past few days, and indeed, I found two large shop spaces."

Chen Nan’s eyes brightened; he hadn’t expected Xu Lu to be so efficient.

Indeed.

His business empire covered the whole country.

By now, Jizhou was firmly established, and his next business plan was to enter the provincial capital.

As long as he could secure a firm foothold in the provincial capital, expanding the market thereafter would be much easier.

Xu Lu said, "The first store is located on Furong Street, the busiest area in the provincial capital. Anyone visiting the provincial capital for tourism goes there to check in and try the delicacies."

"I called the landlord at noon, and the rent for that shop is outrageous—five million a year. With renovations, the initial capital needed would be around eight million."

"Although the initial capital is a lot, I really like that location."

"The second one is near the university town. Although it doesn’t have as much foot traffic as Furong Street, there are several universities nearby, and the foot traffic is considerable, especially since young people like cold drinks and the like."

"This shop isn’t very big, two floors, totaling over a thousand square meters. The annual rent is about three million, and with renovations and the purchase of equipment, five million should be enough."

"Between these two shops, I prefer the former."

Chen Nan nodded thoughtfully; he couldn’t deny that both locations were very good.

Securing either would significantly boost the influence of national tea!

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Nan said, "The adult world doesn’t choose; let’s secure both shops!"

Shh!

Xu Lu gasped in shock, her face a picture of astonishment as she looked at Chen Nan, "Secure both? Aren’t you... do you have that much money?"

Actually, Xu Lu had also thought about securing both shops, given that their locations were too good. If they could open flagship stores there, they could definitely establish a firm foothold in the provincial capital.

But.

The initial investment cost of securing these two shops was too high—conservatively estimated at thirteen million or even more.

It’s true that the three national tea shops in Jizhou had earned quite a bit of money lately.

But the money earned from the three shops had all been invested in the renovation of the flagship store, leaving not much liquid cash in the company accounts.

"I have less than two million on me," Chen Nan said with a laugh, touching his nose, "But just because I don’t have it, doesn’t mean my family doesn’t!"

"Oh, you might not know, I’m actually a little rich second generation; my family does have some assets."

Chen Nan wasn’t lying about that.

Although his father’s company was co-founded with someone else, it held a fifty-one percent stake.

The company’s annual net profit was over thirty million, quite famous in Jizhou.

Now that his father had passed away, he had inherited all of his father’s shares. Just by asking at home, twenty million was nothing at all.

Only...

Just the thought of going home to see his stepmother made him somewhat inexplicably irritable.

Unsure of with what identity he should face her!
