Chapter 61
For half a month in a row, Yu Shu had the same dream, her psychological defenses completely collapsed, and she who had always been cautious decided to do something big - she would buy a whole street. She alone could not buy it, let alone she had no background or foundation. A big tree attracts the wind, if she encountered someone not to be offended, she would not even know how she died.
She knew Shen Youlin would not believe the "prophetic dream" nonsense, he would investigate it himself. As she expected, Shen Youlin called his elder brother Shen Yuxiao.
"Brother, please help me check if someone wants to take action on the site of the old steel factory in Rong City." Shen Youlin went straight to the point without any greetings.
Shen Youlin had never taken the initiative to contact him before, let alone ask for his help after becoming an adult. Shen Yuxiao was rather flattered, "Okay, I'll send someone to check right away and get back to you as soon as possible."
"Okay, thanks. Nothing else, I'll hang up first."
Shen Yuxiao stopped him, "Wait, Youlin!"
"What else?"
Hearing his cold tone, Shen Yuxiao felt sour in his heart, "How are you doing alone in Rong City?"
"Pretty good, eating well. And how can I be alone when I have grandma and grandpa?"
Shen Yuxiao was silenced. Ever since that incident, Shen Youlin had been estranged from home and only close with his maternal grandparents.
"I didn't mean it that way. Youlin, come home more often when you have time..."
"I don't have time. Do you have anything else to do as the eldest brother other than preaching to me? If not, I'll hang up. If you have such leisure, go home and teach your useless wife addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and how to walk without falling."
"Youlin..."
Before Shen Yuxiao could finish, Shen Youlin directly hung up the phone.
"Damn it!" Shen Youlin ruffled Dou'e's fur and took it next door to mooch a meal.
Recently Shen Youlin had been staying between his apartment and villa, at least three days a week at the villa side, and whenever he stayed at the apartment, he would go to Yu Shu's with his dog to mooch a meal —— Auntie's cooking was really delicious.
Yu Shu found it a hassle to open the door for him, so she directly gave him the door password.
Shen Youlin smiled wickedly with a sinister look on his face, "Aren't you afraid I'll break in and rob?"
"Robbery, you look down on my measly belongings; rape... " Yu Shu looked him up and down regretfully and shook her head, "You want it but can't do it~ "
"F**k, how do you see I want it but can't do it?"
"From your six pack abs that are all show no go."
"......"
Shen Yuxiao got back to Shen Youlin in three days. A top ten domestic real estate company did intend to acquire that site for a commercial plaza.
Yu Shu jumped up happily. The steel plant was state-owned and could not be purchased, but the old street could be bought!
Shen Youlin had no interest in this matter, but seeing Yu Shu so excited, he reluctantly played along. Of course it couldn't be bought under personal names, he had an investment company under his name, so it was purchased under the company's name.
The street was valued at 2.8 billion yuan. With 2 billion yuan savings in the bank, Yu Shu easily got a loan of 1.4 billion yuan. She went halves with Shen Youlin and bought the old street.
The two drank at home to celebrate. Yu Shu felt endless emotions, "It's like a dream, I actually bought a whole street. Just last year around this time, I didn't even dare go into every shop when walking down the street."
She didn't even dare step into lavishly decorated shops, afraid of embarrassing herself by showing her low status.
"To be accurate, it's half a street." Shen Youlin clinked glasses with her, "I spent all my New Year's money."
"....Your New Year's money has nine digits?"
Shen Youlin nodded, "Yeah."
Yu Shu calmed down instantly. It was truly a frog in a well meeting the ocean. Her measly belongings were really insignificant.
There was still a long way to go to make money, she must keep working hard, comrade.
"Your family is so rich, how come I don't see any Shens on the rich list?"
"My grandma keeps a low profile and doesn't want to be on that stuff. If we really compare, my family would at least be in the top three in Asia."
Yu Shu knew the Shens were wealthy, but their wealth seemed to far exceed her expectations.
She fawned, "Pardon me, pardon me~ Let this little one pour wine for you~"
"Act more real~"
"Yes sir!~"
In mid May, Zhixia arrived in Rong City ahead of time and stayed with Yu Shu.
Their family had decided to come develop in Rong City. Her parents could not work hard, so she came as the pioneer. With Yu Shu around, everything went very smoothly. Zhixia rented a large two-bedroom apartment with very good location for less than 800 yuan below market price, not far from Yu Shu's apartment either.
At the end of the month, Zhixia's parents arrived in Rong City. They made a table full of dishes at home to celebrate the new life. Yu Shu was the only guest that day.
"Yu baby, try this beef tenderloin."
Before they officially started eating, Zhixia's parents were busy in the kitchen. Zhixia sneaked some food out from the kitchen, and brought some for her sister and Yu Shu as well.
Looking at the skewers in front of her, Yu Shu was about to decline. She didn't want extra practice at the gym, but the aroma of oil wrapping the unique sauce drilled into her nostrils, and she couldn't utter her refusal.
"It's so... delicious!"
Crispy on the outside and tender inside, with sauce fragrance bursting in the mouth. The outer skin had a thin crispy batter, brushed with special homemade chili sauce. The beef tenderloin inside was permeated with the fragrance of the sauce, and the meat juice spread from between the teeth to the whole mouth.
This was the most delicious fried skewer Yu Shu had ever eaten.
"Delicious, right? This is my dad's specialty. He won my mom's heart with this back in the day. You know what I mean?"
Yu Shu understood instantly.
Zhixia and Zhiyang's hometown favored light and healthy meals, mostly boiled and steamed every meal. Heavy flavor fried skewers had no market there at all.
But Rong City was different. It would sell great here.
At dinner, a large plate of fried skewers made by Zhixia's dad was eaten clean. Not only the beef, but every kind of skewer was delicious. Zhixia's dad used different processing methods tailored to the characteristics of each ingredient.
In the next few days, Yu Shu and Zhixia looked for a suitable store outside, while Zhiyang stayed home to learn cooking skills.
They thought finding a store would be troublesome, but Yu Shu's luck manifested itself again. On the first day, they found a suitable store right on the busiest commercial street. It used to be a bubble tea shop that went out of business due to poor management. The storefront wasn't big, but it was adequate for a skewer shop.
After discussing, they rented the storefront and signed a 10-year lease.
In early June, while the store was being renovated, Yu Yang was taking the college entrance exam.
Yu Shu originally wanted to go back to the county seat to accompany him for the exam, but Yu Yang rejected it, saying that her presence would make him nervous and unable to keep a clear mind.
Yu Feng didn't go back either, staying near the hospital with Ye Ping. Yu Shu would sometimes go eat with him, and bring some expensive ingredients. She also got updates on Ye Ping's condition from him.
Yu Shu's days were fulfilling and smooth. Except for the damned Shen Youlin, everything was perfectly unbelievable.
