Su Lin nodded. "Ye Feng grew up with her, so of course he's upset. Xiao Wan, go talk to her later."

Lin Xiaowan nodded. "You don't need to tell me, I will."

"Heh heh."

After a casual chat with Lin Xi, Su Lin began to study the European Emperor Treasure Chest.

Simply put, the European Emperor Treasure Chest was a random treasure chest. Anything could be drawn from it.

Su Lin instantly lost interest. He understood the odds of such draws.

"Draw."

With a silent thought, a very tattered treasure chest appeared in Su Lin's mind, then it started to roll around.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared.

[Wow~! Golden legendary! Congratulations to the host for drawing all the knowledge from China's nine-year compulsory education.]

Su Lin felt no change in his mind. It was just that his memory of previous knowledge points had become more solid.

Damn it!!!

Su Lin fiercely gave the system the middle finger.

His grades were among the best in the entire Jiangnan Province. This kind of complete knowledge was of no use to him.

"Forget it, it's better than nothing. Just in time for this monthly exam, I'll surpass Xiao Yu and Xiao Wan and dampen her spirit."

It was known that Lin Xiaowan had been the undisputed first place in the entire school for three years at Jiangning First High School.

Being suddenly surpassed by Su Lin should be quite interesting.

Ye Feng returned to his seat, feeling his memory becoming much hazier. He quickly took out his notebook and looked at the symbols that only he could understand. Only then did Ye Feng vaguely recall.

He patted his head. "My memory is so strong now, why do I feel like my past life memories are becoming blurry? What is going on?"

"Sigh~! I just have bad luck. After finally being reborn, I thought I could make up for my past regrets, but the butterfly effect has turned everything into this."

He looked at Xia Shiyu in front of him, and his heart ached again.

Would they really drift further and further apart like this?

This was not the outcome Ye Feng wanted. He had to repay the money as soon as possible and then help Xia Shiyu raise enough for her father's surgery.

"My dad must have started taking action. After today, our family will be millionaires. Su Lin, you won't be able to be arrogant for much longer."

However, Ye Feng didn't know that his father, who had taken 200,000 yuan to collect Gastrodia elata in the countryside, found that there was nothing left to collect.

Li Hongyang was very efficient. He acted like a swarm of locusts entering a village, clearing out every household's Gastrodia elata. Moreover, he had conquered the villages and towns around Zhongjiang in just one day.

At noon, when Su Lin, Xia Shiyu, and Lin Xiaowan were eating together, Li Hongyang called to report the situation.

To Su Lin's surprise, Li Hongyang collected a total of 24 tons of Gastrodia elata during his trip to the countryside. Nearly 50,000 jin. Selling it at 300 yuan per jin would bring in nearly 15 million yuan.

Adding the money Su Lin already had, he would have over 20 million yuan after this deal.

In less than a month, he had earned over 20 million yuan. The money really came too easily.

Su Lin, in a good mood, even found Ye Feng more pleasing to the eye.

"What's wrong, Su Lin? You look so happy after taking a call. Is there any big happy event?" Lin Xiaowan asked curiously.

At the same time, Xia Shiyu also stopped eating and looked at Su Lin.

Su Lin nodded and said, "As usual, only you two can know. Don't tell anyone."

Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan exchanged glances and nodded excitedly.

People are like this. Once something involves secrecy, they become curious.

And Lin Xiaowan was now eager to understand Su Lin, so her curiosity was even greater.

Su Lin thought that it wouldn't be long before Xia Shiyu entered his business empire, so it was good to let her get in touch with some matters now.

"The thing is, a while ago, there were floods in the eastern part of Hubei and southern part of Anhui, which caused the yield of Gastrodia elata to plummet. From there, even our Jiangnan Province started scrambling to buy this thing. Fortunately, this year Zhongjiang had favorable weather, and the wild Gastrodia elata were all big and strong."

Xia Shiyu's mind worked quickly. She blurted out, "So you went to acquire Gastrodia elata?"

Su Lin snapped his fingers. "That's right. I had people collect all the Gastrodia elata in Zhongjiang. The cost price was fifty yuan, and the wholesale market in Donghai had a purchase price of three hundred yuan. My employee just called and said we collected twenty-four tons in total. Do you think this is worth celebrating?"

"Hiss~!!"

"Hiss~!!"

The two women were simultaneously shocked.

Lin Xiaowan quickly did the mental calculation and then looked at Su Lin. "So you made over ten million yuan on this trip?"

Su Lin waved his hand. "I haven't sold it yet, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin as if he were a monster. "I was still congratulating myself for always being the first in the school, but your business has already become so big. Su Lin, how did your brain grow?"

Su Lin chuckled. "There are business opportunities everywhere in life. Xiao Wan, if you want to make money, we can start a business together sometime."

"Ah~! Let's forget it. My family doesn't want me to get involved in business."

Not involved in business?

Su Lin scoffed at that. In the original story, Lin Xiaowan was influenced by Ye Feng and abandoned politics for business.

And she did it with great success.

"Your family doesn't let you get involved? It must be your dad who doesn't want you to touch it."

Lin Xiaowan nodded, "Su Lin, how did you know?"

Su Lin chuckled, "Your dad's intentions are pretty obvious. Does he look down on merchants? Isn't China's economy driven by merchants like us?"

"Xiao Wan, what about you? What are your personal thoughts?"

"I don't want to spend my life sitting in an office, enjoying the air conditioning."

Su Lin smiled, "Then that's settled. Let's start a business together. Even if you want to be a civil servant, you still have four years. You should at least be true to yourself during these four years, right?"

"Su Lin, why do I feel like you're instigating me?" Lin Xiaowan stared blankly at Su Lin.

Su Lin spread his hands, "I've never hidden my thoughts."

"..."

Chen Yang's idea for a chain supermarket [Seeking flowers and votes]

Lin Xiaowan was finally defeated by Su Lin's increasingly aggressive gaze.

She secretly thought that Su Lin's gaze towards her was becoming more and more brazen. And Xia Shiyu was constantly fanning the flames beside her.

Moreover, Lin Xiaowan only recognized Su Lin and Xia Shiyu as her friends.

Spending time together every day, she found herself increasingly afraid to meet Su Lin's eyes. His deep gaze was like a vortex, drawing her in.

"Okay, I'll go back and consider it."

Seeing this, Su Lin's smile became even more pronounced.

When Lin Xiaowan said she would consider it, it basically meant she agreed. The reason she said that was just to buy time to convince her parents at home.

However, Su Lin thought it would be difficult for Lin Xiaowan to convince her parents, and they would definitely oppose it.

But this would be exactly what he wanted. Given Lin Xiaowan's personality, she would eventually make up her mind to start a business with him.

As soon as he returned to the classroom, Su Lin, who was planning to slack off until school ended, was called out by Chen Yang.

"Yangzi, what's the rush? The goods haven't even been sold yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

Chen Yang shook his head, "Brother Lin, I'm not looking for you to ask for money."

Su Lin was a bit surprised, "If you're not looking for money, then what are you looking for me for?"

Chen Yang scratched his head and then said, "Brother Lin, do you remember what I wanted to do before?"

Su Lin nodded, "Yes, what about it?"

"I've already figured out what to do," Chen Yang said excitedly.

"Uh... tell me."

Su Lin was a little surprised. Chen Yang was a qualified manager, but not a qualified entrepreneur. He didn't expect him to actually come up with something.

Chen Yang took a deep breath, "Then I'll say it."

"I want to do a chain supermarket."

This time, Su Lin was even more surprised. He carefully looked Chen Yang up and down, "A chain supermarket?"

Chen Yang thought Su Lin looked down on the idea and quickly explained, "Brother Lin, chain supermarkets are already common abroad, and there are quite a few in China, but most of them are only in large cities, like Walmart and Carrefour. Zhongjiang is a county-level city, so there aren't any."

"Mhm, Yangzi, don't rush, take your time and explain."

"A chain supermarket is where we can get all the things we usually need, like rice, vegetables, snacks..."

As Su Lin listened to Chen Yang talk enthusiastically, he became increasingly amazed. This set of theories couldn't have been developed by a high school student.

It was clear that Chen Yang had done thorough research, including studying many foreign supermarkets.

"Yangzi, where did you get this idea for a chain supermarket?"

"I..."
