Chen Yang followed Ye Feng's gaze and saw Xia Shiyu chatting and laughing with Su Lin.
Chen Yang was somewhat surprised as well. He had just spoken to Su Lin on the phone.
"Hey, isn't that Su Lin and Xia Shiyu? Madman, are you going over to say hello?"
Ye Feng shook his head. "Forget it. Xiao Yu probably doesn't want to see me right now."
"Huh? What did you do to her?"
Ye Feng shook his head without explaining. He merely watched Xia Shiyu's smiling face, his gaze profound.
It seemed that after his rebirth, events had not unfolded as he had expected.
In his view, Su Lin must have used some method to make Xia Shiyu think quite highly of him now.
It was most likely related to Xia Shiyu's father's illness.
Unfortunately, Ye Feng had failed to seize the opportunity earlier and allowed Su Lin to exploit the opening.
"Xiao Yu, wait for me. It won't be long before I can help you. Su Lin... I never expected you to have designs on Xiao Yu back in high school. I thought you were some devoted lover who only liked Lin Xiaowan in high school. Now it seems you really are a complete scumbag."
The more Ye Feng thought about it, the angrier he became. He had to stop Su Lin.
He had to let Xia Shiyu see Su Lin's true colors.
But when he thought about how he did not even have the courage to face Xia Shiyu now, Ye Feng could only lower his head and head toward the station.
Chen Yang followed behind Ye Feng and saw his expression clearly.
He was cursing Ye Feng as a scumbag in his heart as well.
Just a few days ago, Ye Feng had been jealous over Yan Huan and nearly gotten into a fight with Feng Yifei, causing a huge uproar throughout the school.
Now he was jealous over Xia Shiyu again.
This guy was neither handsome nor good at school, yet he sure thought highly of himself.
One Yan Huan, one Xia Shiyu... tsk, tsk.
He could not even win Yan Huan over, yet he still had designs on Xia Shiyu.
Would Xia Shiyu, who interacted with someone as outstanding as Su Lin, possibly fall for Ye Feng?
"Su Lin, what are you looking at?"
Su Lin came back to his senses. "I think I just saw two familiar figures. They seemed to be Ye Feng and Chen Yang."
There was not the slightest emotion in Xia Shiyu's eyes, only indifference. She became adorable only when facing Su Lin. "Su Lin, can you not mention him in the future? He has nothing to do with me anymore, and I don't want to see him again."
Su Lin rubbed Xia Shiyu's head and nodded. "Okay."
Seeing Xia Shiyu like this now, Su Lin felt immensely gratified. He had been setting traps for Ye Feng ever since transmigrating here, all for this very outcome.
Moreover, he knew Xia Shiyu's personality. If she said she did not want to pay attention to Ye Feng anymore, then she truly did not want to pay attention to him.
Ye Feng would never have imagined that only a few days after his rebirth, Su Lin had already cut off one of his arms.
Xia Shiyu linked her arm through Su Lin's. "Let's go."
"Okay~!!!"
Stealing Her Again, Asking for Flowers and Votes
Su Lin first took Xia Shiyu to the bank and transferred the money into her account. Then, he took her around Zhongjiang to have fun.
The two wandered through Zhongjiang like a couple deeply in love.
At last, while they were having lunch, Su Lin received a text message from Chen Yang.
He and Ye Feng were already on their way back. However, they were not returning to Zhongjiang and were instead heading directly to Donghai.
Su Lin calculated the time. By the time Ye Feng reached Donghai, it would probably be three or four in the afternoon. After selling all the goods in his hands, it would be four or five.
Zhongjiang was a coastal city, so night fell a little later, though not by much.
With Ye Feng's personality, he would definitely want to make another trip and collect another batch of money.
With that in mind, Su Lin already had a plan.
He could not handle purchasing medicinal herbs alone, but with Su Zhenguo's help, it would become much easier.
"Xiao Yu, after lunch, go look after Uncle Xia first. While you're there, ask when they plan to arrange his surgery."
"Okay~!!"
"Mm, I have some things to handle this afternoon. Once I'm done, I'll go see Uncle Xia," Su Lin said with a smile.
Xia Shiyu shook her head. "My dad isn't even conscious right now. There's no point in you visiting him. You should just take care of your business."
As she spoke, Xia Shiyu straightened Su Lin's collar like a dainty little wife. "Then... I'm leaving."
"Do you want me to take you there?"
Xia Shiyu shook her head. "No, it's fine. You didn't drive out anyway."
"Hehe, just because I didn't drive doesn't mean I don't have a car to take you there."
With that, Su Lin grabbed Xia Shiyu's little hand and said decisively, "All right, I'll take you there."
He hailed a taxi and sent Xia Shiyu to the hospital.
Then he left under her reluctant gaze.
As soon as Su Lin returned home, he took out his phone and called Su Zhenguo.
Come to think of it, he had been here for so long after transmigrating, yet he had never spoken to Su Zhenguo.
Fortunately, he had the original owner's memories, so he would not give himself away.
"Hello, Xiao Lin. Why do you have time to call me today? Are you short of money again? I'll have someone transfer a hundred thousand to you later."
Su Lin's face darkened. Listening to the child-coddling tone on the other end, he finally understood why the original owner had developed that kind of personality.
He had been spoiled rotten.
"Dad, don't send me any money. I called because I have something serious to discuss."
"Oh? Something serious? What is it?" Su Zhenguo was intrigued.
Although he and Su Lin did not communicate much, every time Su Lin called, it was usually because he did not have enough money or wanted to buy something. Hearing Su Lin say that he had serious business, Su Zhenguo immediately became interested.
Su Lin said, "I want to borrow a few people from you."
"Borrow people? What for?" Su Zhenguo asked curiously.
"It's like this. I heard from a friend's aunt that..."
After Su Lin explained everything, Su Zhenguo fell silent in thought.
He had assumed that Su Lin's so-called serious matter was a parent-teacher conference or an issue with one of his teachers.
He had not expected Su Lin to want to do business and make money. After hearing Su Lin's explanation, Su Zhenguo knew this was a decent opportunity.
Making money off an information gap.
Since when did this kid have a talent for business?
Su Zhenguo considered it only briefly before deciding to let Su Lin give it a try. His business empire now stretched across half of Jiangnan Province, and he had only one son, Su Lin. If someone were to take over in the future, it could only be Su Lin. Letting him gain some exposure to business now was no big deal. Even if he lost money, Su Zhenguo would cover for him.
"How many people do you need, and how much money?"
Hearing Su Zhenguo's words, Su Lin sighed inwardly. Calling him Dad had really not been a loss.
"I don't need money. I have some on hand. As for people, I need around three to five, and I also need a vehicle. Dad, you have a logistics company, right?" Su Lin asked.
"I do. How about this? I'll have my assistant call you later and lend him to you for a few days. You can handle the rest as you see fit. If you need money, tell me."
Su Zhenguo could not help laughing when he heard Su Lin say he did not need money.
How much money could Su Lin possibly have? Even if he had saved every cent Su Zhenguo had given him, it would still be very limited.
In Su Zhenguo's eyes, this was just a small game, so he directly had Su Lin coordinate with his assistant.
Su Lin did not know what Su Zhenguo was thinking. Still, he was quite pleased to hear that Su Zhenguo was lending him his assistant.
Su Zhenguo's business territory now spanned half of Jiangnan Province and was enormous. The fact that Li Hongyang could serve as his assistant proved that his abilities were beyond question.
With someone like that helping him, Su Lin would save himself a great deal of trouble.
The two chatted for a few more moments. Only after Su Zhenguo asked about Su Lin's recent circumstances did they hang up.
At around three o'clock, assistant Li Hongyang rushed over from the company with several people.
When Su Lin told them to go into the countryside to purchase Gastrodia elata, Li Hongyang and the people he had brought exchanged glances.
They had thought it was something important, but it turned out they were just accompanying the young master on a whim.
Li Hongyang looked to be in his thirties and wore glasses. He appeared refined and scholarly on the surface, but Su Lin would not be fooled by appearances.
Seeing Li Hongyang's hesitant expression, Su Lin had already guessed what he was thinking. He smiled. "Brother Yang, sorry for the trouble this time."
Li Hongyang shook his head. "Young Master Su, since the boss sent me to handle matters for you, there's no need to mention trouble. The boss said it's rare for Young Master Su to want to do something serious, so I should properly carry out whatever you instruct."
"However, how much Gastrodia elata does Young Master Su intend to purchase? At what price, and for how much does he plan to sell it?"
Su Lin smiled. "To be honest, I still don't know the purchase price, nor do I know how much to buy."
"Uh..."
