I Want to Buy Some Shares

"Pay back what? Once you make money, spend a little more on yourself. Don't just think about other people all day."

"We only live once in this world, so we have to treat ourselves better, you know?"

Li Muhan nodded. "Okay, Brother Su Yang." Despite her words, she definitely still felt bad about it inside.

Once she made money, she would still try to pay Su Yang back, but none of that mattered now. Su Yang wouldn't accept it anyway.

"Yeah, as long as you know. Have you guys been to Haicheng before?"

The two shook their heads at the same time. "No."

"It's fine, you'll slowly get familiar with it later. Oh, right, I'll take you to get acquainted with the place first, and then..." Su Yang paused here.

"What's wrong?" Li Muhan asked.

"Wait, let me think."

A few seconds later, he turned to look at Li Muhan in the passenger seat and said, "Muhan, how are your coffee-making skills? Do you know how to do latte art and stuff?"

Li Muhan nodded, "Yes, I do."

"It's been so long since you've done it, do you still remember how?"

"I remember."

"That's good, but I have a question I want to ask you."

"Go ahead, Brother Su Yang."

"I have a Western restaurant in Haicheng, and I also have a friend who opened a coffee shop. So, would you rather work at the restaurant or the coffee shop?"

Li Muhan didn't even think about it and directly said, "The coffee shop."

"Oh? No hesitation at all?"

"Working at the restaurant before was actually out of necessity. Deep down, I prefer making coffee."

"Alright then, let me make a call." Su Yang said, finding Jiang Mengyun's number and dialing it.

After ringing a few times, the call connected.

"Hello, Brother Yang."

"What are you doing, Mengyun?"

"Spacing out in the shop."

"Spacing out? No business?"

"There is, but I'm not making coffee all the time."

"True. Oh, right, let me ask you something."

"Go ahead," Jiang Mengyun smiled.

"Does your shop still need a barista?"

"A barista?"

"Yeah. I have a friend who is pretty good at making coffee and is currently looking for a job. I thought I'd ask and see if you're still hiring."

After Su Yang finished, the voice on the other end laughed, "I wasn't originally planning on hiring, but since it's someone you recommend, I definitely have to take them."

"Haha, I'm serious. Don't just agree because it's someone I brought up. If you're fully staffed over there, I'll figure something else out."

"Oh, fully staffed? I'm the only barista in the whole shop. The other two girls are waitresses and don't really know how to make it. Having another barista will make things easier for me too."

"Really?"

"Really. Why would I lie to you?"

"Hehe, that works then. But I also have an idea," Su Yang smiled.

"What idea?"

"I want to invest in your coffee shop."

"What? Invest?"

"Yes, but I won't manage anything. I'll just invest the money. You'll still be in charge of the actual operations."

"Are you serious?"

"Why would I lie to you? It's not like you don't know I love drinking coffee. The coffee at your place is so good, and I can't just get it for free every time I come. Once I invest, I can drink as much as I want however I want."

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Mengyun frowned, "You want to invest just so you can drink unlimited coffee?"

"Pretty much."

"You have too much money and nowhere to spend it, huh?"

"Haha, just tell me if you agree or not."

"I agree, why wouldn't I? Having a big billionaire like you invest money in me, only an idiot would refuse."

"Haha, great. I'll bring my friend over later, and we can chat more about this. Actually, I'm very optimistic about your place. Business will definitely get better and better in the future, and maybe you can even open branch stores."

"Haha, I'll borrow your lucky words then. I'll be waiting for your grand arrival at the shop anytime," Jiang Mengyun smiled.

"Alright, that's it then. See you later."

Hanging up the phone, Su Yang turned to look at Li Muhan, "All settled. You'll come over with me later."

"Okay." Li Muhan didn't know what to say anymore. Su Yang moved way too fast.

They had just arrived in Haicheng, and the apartment was already rented, and her future job was also smoothly secured.

To her, the current Su Yang was an omnipotent person. Aside from the hidden affection in her eyes, they were filled entirely with admiration.

Thirty minutes later, Su Yang dialed Zhao Mengrou's number.

"You're here?"

"Five minutes tops."

"Okay, I'll head over now and wait for you at the neighborhood entrance."

"Alright."

A few minutes later, Su Yang reached the intersection and turned right. He drove straight for a hundred meters and saw the main gate of the Sandalwood Mansion neighborhood situated on the right side of the road.

This neighborhood was considered mid-to-high-end in Haicheng.

The neighborhood had complete supporting facilities. Less than a hundred meters to the right of the entrance was a subway station. The environment inside the neighborhood was also very comfortable, with various recreational facilities.

Within eight hundred meters of the neighborhood, there was also a very good middle school, Haicheng No. 3 Middle School.

Just as the car drove up to the main gate of the neighborhood, Su Yang saw Zhao Mengrou walking over from the other side.

She was dressed fashionably. Her previously flowing long hair had actually been cut into a crisp and cool shoulder-length bob.

Su Yang smiled faintly and lightly honked the horn.

Beep beep.

Zhao Mengrou was walking when she heard the car horn. She immediately looked up and saw a Bentley Bentayga turning into the neighborhood entrance. Inside the car, the smiling face of the long-unseen Su Yang was revealed.

"Hello, Sister Meng Rou!" Su Yang waved and shouted.

Zhao Mengrou rolled her eyes at Su Yang, walking up quickly and saying, "You only think of me when you need something."

"Oh, my good sister, I think of you even when I don't need anything. Hurry up and get in the car."

Just then, Zhao Mengrou noticed Li Muhan in the passenger seat. She immediately switched to a sweet and adorable smile and said, "Hello there, pretty lady."

"Hello, sister."

"What sister? Just call me Mengrou."

Su Yang laughed, "Get in the car first, there's a car coming up behind us."

"Okay." Saying that, Zhao Mengrou opened the rear door and quickly got in.

As soon as she got in, a cute little girl stared at her.

"Oh my, what a good little girl. What's your name?"

"Hello, sister. My name is Chen Xiaowan."

"Chen Xiaowan. Oh my, so sweet. Come, let sister touch your little face."

Su Yang laughed, "Hold off on touching for a second. Which way do we go?"

"Go straight in and turn right. Just drive first and I'll tell you."

"Okay." Su Yang quickly drove into the neighborhood and soon followed Zhao Mengrou's directions to the bottom of Building 6, Unit 2.

"It's this building, but you can't park downstairs in this neighborhood. Drive forward, turn right up ahead, and go down to the garage."

"Alright."

Soon, Su Yang drove the car into the parking lot and parked.

In just the two or three minutes it took to drive in, Zhao Mengrou had already hit it off with Xiaowan. Who knows what she said, but she had Xiaowan covering her mouth and laughing out loud. She looked like she was Xiaowan's actual biological sister.

After parking the car, Su Yang formally introduced the three of them to each other again before they got out of the car and went upstairs.

"Which floor?" Su Yang asked.

"Floor 12, Unit 2."

"Two elevators for two households?"

"Mhm."

"Not bad, the standard for luxury apartments. I give it a ten out of ten!"

Chatting and laughing, the group took the elevator up to the 12th floor, and Zhao Mengrou pulled out her keys to open the door.

"Muhan, Xiaowan, please come in."

"Sister Meng Rou, you go in first~"

"Oh, no need to be so polite. Hurry, come on in."

The group entered the house one after another.

Su Yang looked around. This apartment was much larger than Little Yu's, at least 130 square meters.

The living room was spacious, well-lit, and fully furnished. The decor reflected Zhao Mengrou's usual style—simple with a touch of cuteness.

The living room balcony was also quite large. Standing on it, one could see the beautiful environment inside the residential complex.

The buildings in the complex were spaced far apart, avoiding the oppressive feeling of buildings crammed together. In short, it was very nice.

If rented normally, this apartment would cost at least four to five thousand a month.

Looking at such a comfortable, large house, Li Muhan knew the rent wouldn't be cheap.

But since it was already a done deal, she had no choice but to stay for now.

Zhao Mengrou showed them around and smiled. "How is it? Not bad, right?"

Su Yang nodded in satisfaction. "Very nice."

"You're not the one living here, what are you saying 'nice' for? Muhan, Xiaowan, what do you girls think?"

The two sisters nodded. Li Muhan said, "It's wonderful here. Sister Meng Rou, how much is the rent per month?"

Zhao Mengrou waved her hand with a smile. "Don't worry about that. This guy has already transferred the money to me anyway. You could live here for the rest of your lives and it wouldn't be a problem."

"Ah..." Li Muhan's expression changed, and she silently let out a breath.

Seeing this, Su Yang smiled. "Muhan, don't overthink it. What did I tell you? Just live here comfortably from now on. If you like it, you can just buy this apartment from Sister Meng Rou once you make enough money, hehe."

"No matter what, I'll definitely work hard to make money!"

"You can do it! I believe in you," Su Yang smiled at Li Muhan.

"Alright, come sit down." Zhao Mengrou led them to the living room sofa to sit.

After chatting briefly, she stood up and said, "Alright, I'll stop keeping you. I have some things to do later. I have two keys here, come and take them."

Saying that, she took two keys out of her bag and placed them on the table.

Su Yang looked at Zhao Mengrou. "Leaving already?"

"Yeah, I really do have some things to take care of, otherwise I would definitely grab a meal with you guys."

"No worries, there will be plenty of opportunities. Another day I'll invite you all to my place, and I'll cook personally."

"Hmm, that sounds good. Muhan, have you ever eaten Su Yang's cooking?" Zhao Mengrou looked at Li Muhan and asked with a smile.

Li Muhan shook her head. "No, I haven't."

"Heh, then you're in for a treat. The food he makes is super delicious. We'll have to go to his place for dinner together someday."

"Okay!"

"By the way, Muhan, come, let's add each other on WeChat. If you need anything regarding the apartment in the future, just contact me directly."

Zhao Mengrou walked over to Li Muhan and took out her phone. The two added each other as friends.

"By the way, Sister Meng Rou, don't we need to sign a contract for this apartment?"

"What contract? You are Su Yang's friends, which means you are my friends. We're all on the same side."
