I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 446 - 321 I Heard You’re a Nun_3
Chapter 446 -321 I Heard You’re a Nun_3
“You’re driving a sports car, huh.”
Old Yu’s eyelid twitched; the white supercar in the parking lot was an eye-catcher, looking like a warrior from the future, making the million-dollar luxury cars beside it seem bland by comparison.
“How much does this car cost?”
Old Yu asked subconsciously.
“Over 30 million.”
“Over 30 million?!”
...
Old Yu swallowed hard; in Star City, an ordinary house was only about 1 million, and to him, what was before him wasn’t a car but rather a rolling 30-plus houses.
“Tsk tsk.”
Old Yu couldn’t help but click his tongue, “When can you lend it to me for a spin? I’m already tired of that little electric scooter.”
Shen Yuan chuckled lightly, “Sure, anytime you want.”
“You’re not joking, are you?”
Old Yu looked at Shen Yuan seriously. He didn’t seem to be joking, but Old Yu got cold feet first, “Forget it, I was just kidding. If I accidentally scratch it, I couldn’t cover it with a whole year’s salary.”
Shen Yuan said, “Aren’t you still giving extra lessons? With the tuition fees from those, it should be enough.”
Old Yu laughed in annoyance, “You rascal!”
“Mr. Yu, why don’t you ride with Chairman Shen, and I’ll hitch a ride with someone else?”
Qi Xi knew Old Yu because, besides teaching math in his own class, he taught other classes as well. When she arrived at the venue, she had greeted Old Yu.
“It’s fine, you go ahead. I’ll just say a few words here.”
Old Yu also remembered Qi Xi; each year, there were always a few outstanding students that left a deep impression on him, either for being beautiful, having excellent grades, or being like Shen Yuan, ranked last or second to last.
“Principal Old Tang heard that you’re donating 10 million to Gentle Elegance’s Education Fund and was overjoyed. He’s planning on inviting you for dinner tomorrow night, and then later at the banquet, he wants you to give a speech. He asked me to give you a heads-up.”
Towards the end, Old Yu’s tone carried a hint of pride; after all, this was a student he had “nurtured” with his own hands.
Shen Yuan thought about his schedule for the next day and said, “Let’s skip dinner, but I can say a few words at the banquet.”

“Alright, I won’t push you any further. If Old Tang invites you again later, just politely decline.”
After finishing, Old Yu added thoughtfully, “Old Tang said this is the largest single donation to the Education Fund in years. Most alumni donations range from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand, and the highest before was only 2 million. Your donation is practically the sum total of nearly five years of contributions.”
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow, “Old Yu, as your student, I’ve donated so much. Is there any chance for a promotion for you?”
Old Yu waved his hand dismissively, “Forget it; I’m getting on in years, and my abilities are just so-so. In a few years, I won’t be up for the responsibility of being class head anymore; it’s too exhausting.”
“Also, Shen Yuan, do you have any other requests with this donation? If you need Gentle Elegance to help publicize for you or your enterprise, just let us know. Old Tang will talk to you about this later, and I wanted to give you a heads-up.”
Old Yu knew that most people didn’t just do charity for the sake of being charitable but also to gain fame and goodwill, so large donations from businessmen would have the school to report and take the opportunity to do a bit of marketing.
“Got it, Old Yu; you’re still so long-winded.”
Shen Yuan also recalled a funny incident: “I remember during the year of college entrance exams, you reminded us to bring our exam permits and ID cards no less than twenty times.”
“What’s the use of reminding so many times when every year, there’s still someone who forgets!”
Old Yu too was quite discontented about it and after grumbling, waved his hand, “Alright, alright, if we keep this up you’ll accuse me of rambling. That’s settled then; I’ll hitch a ride with another student.”
After they finished chatting, Shen Yuan headed toward the Jesko, but Qi Xi stood still, puzzled as to why she didn’t follow. Turning around, he called out, “What are you spacing out for? Let’s go!”
Qi Xi watched Shen Yuan for a while before stepping forward and said softly, “Chairman Shen, when I was in high school, my family’s circumstances were ordinary; I received financial aid and scholarships from the school’s education foundation.”
“You don’t look like you were from an average family; you seem quite well-nourished.”
As he spoke the latter half of the sentence, Shen Yuan’s gaze landed on her full chest, causing Qi Xi to blush instantly, “Chairman Shen, could you please be serious.”
Shen Yuan chuckled, “I am serious, it’s just your mind that’s wandered.”
Qi Xi shyly raised her head and said sincerely, “I just want to thank you for the donations you made for the poor students and those with excellent grades.”
Shen Yuan gladly accepted, “Thanks are fine, but isn’t a verbal thank you a bit hasty?”
“What do you suggest, Chairman Shen?” Qi Xi asked timidly.
Shen Yuan replied directly, “Why not just be my girlfriend?”
Qi Xi was taken aback, “What?”
“What what, consider it seriously, I’ll wait for your good news.”
After he finished speaking, Shen Yuan didn’t look back and went straight to the driver’s seat of the Jesko.
“Qi Xi is quite lucky to have encountered an honest man like me in the entire Star City,”
Shen Yuan thought narcissistically to himself, pressed the key, and the rotating car door popped open upwards. Then he stooped and sat down inside.
Sports cars are great in every aspect, except for the bit of discomfort when you sit down.
Qi Xi hadn’t even reacted, standing dumbfounded in place for quite a while before, urged by Shen Yuan, she got into the passenger seat.
The alumni mostly left for the restaurant at the same time. When they saw the white supercar, they suddenly realized why Qi Xi was always around Shen Yuan.
Especially those who knew the supercar brands, seeing the Koenigsegg knew that Shen Yuan was a top-tier wealthy lad.
Ding Manman and her two friends had complex expressions. They hadn’t graduated yet, hadn’t bought a car, and could only squeeze into the back seat of other alumni’s cars.
It was almost like a drama; the one driving them was Wei Ming, who had inadvertently cursed at them just moments ago. As he brought his Bora out of the parking spot, he saw the Jesko and remarked, “That car is so cool, limited to 125 units worldwide, and rarely seen in China.”
“Senior, how much does that car cost?” Ye Yu asked.
Wei Ming thought for a moment, “At least over 30 million, I guess.”
“Over 30 million?!”
Ye Yu and Ding Manman both drew in a sharp breath, while Zeng Jiayao’s expression also changed. They didn’t have a clear concept of shares and company sizes, but a car worth over 30 million was very tangible.
Wei Ming’s Bora was worth only 90,000 on the road. Even if Shen Yuan’s car was exactly 30 million, that would buy more than 300 Boras.
“Who would’ve thought, huh? Like my car, four wheels and a cabin, yet so much more expensive.”
“I couldn’t understand the mindset of buying such a car before,” Wei Ming said with a smile, “but if you think about it, what’s 90,000 to us might be the same as 30 million to them.”
“I just can’t figure it out, his grades were so bad before, what’s he got to stand on?” Ye Yu said indignantly.
“You know him?”
Wei Ming asked curiously.
Ding Manman and Zeng Jiayao glared at Ye Yu, who then realized his blunder and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Seeing the expressions of the three, Wei Ming suddenly had an epiphany. So the classmates Shen Yuan was talking about were these three.
He suddenly remembered, they had been sitting next to Shen Yuan during the event, and he had cursed at them right in front of their faces.
No, it’s one thing for me to curse, but how can you guys have the face to get into my car?
Frick, three idiots!
Not only was Wei Ming feeling awkward, but Ding Manman and Zeng Jiayao were so embarrassed they could have scratched a three-bedroom apartment out of it. But the car had already started, they couldn’t exactly jump out, could they?
All they could do was dump the blame on Ye Yu, thinking to themselves, are you the idiot, Ye Yu?
