Chapter 42

Sitting across from Yixue, Su Wen also exuded an intangible aura, which constantly countered Yixue’s.

Chu Fei looked at the two of them, her gaze involuntarily lingering on Su Wen. She felt a captivating aura from him, a strange aura that seemed particularly attractive to women. She was puzzled; could this be what people called male charm? But why hadn’t she felt it before?

Su Wen and Yixue remained silent for a long time, until Yixue couldn't help but speak first: "I've heard about what happened today. Not only are you good at fighting, but you're also quite generous."

Su Wen felt a bit awkward: "It's just so-so."

"Don't be modest. I've seen Cheng Jin; he's quite strong and knows some basic martial arts. He’s more than capable of dealing with a few hooligans. To defeat him in one hit, you’re definitely not just so-so. But I don’t really care about that. Let’s talk about Jubaizhai."

Su Wen nodded: "Go on."

"From what you did today, it seems you want to develop Jubaizhai. But at this stage, Jubaizhai still belongs to my grandfather." Yixue hinted.

"Yixue, how much do you think Jubaizhai is worth? Ten million, or a hundred million?" Su Wen couldn't help but smile. "To be honest, apart from the current storefront, everything else is worthless. In the antique business, the most important thing is the supply of goods. No matter how big and good the storefront is, what’s the use? I have my own plans and ambitions. Jubaizhai is indeed a good platform for me, but even without Jubaizhai, I can still achieve what I want."

"You’re very confident!"

"Exactly, I am very confident. With or without Jubaizhai, I will achieve my goals. To be frank, if I choose Jubaizhai, the one who benefits the most won’t be me, but you. You might not understand now, but you will in the future."

Su Wen thought about many things. He was more concerned about the future than the present.

Yixue was somewhat surprised. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to know what your goal is."

"Gathering treasures from all over the world and creating a new Jubaizhai." Su Wen blurted out. "Of course, I can put it another way: I plan to restore Jubaizhai to its former glory. Old Master Chu has told me about Jubaizhai’s history, and I’m sure you know it too."

"Such a grand goal. Do you think you can do it?" Yixue was somewhat skeptical, and she imagined others would feel the same.

Gathering treasures from all over the world sounds simple, but it is incredibly difficult. Treasures are a kind of resource, and endless treasures are endless resources. It can be said without hesitation that whoever controls the world's resources can rule the world. Money is a resource, oil is a resource, gold is a resource, and weapons are a resource. The reason why those super families have always existed is that they control resources that others can't even imagine. Su Wen’s current goal, in simple terms, is to create his own super resource empire.

The old Jubaizhai was such a resource empire.

"I think I can." Su Wen looked up at the starry sky. "Twenty days ago, I was just a young man struggling to find a job. Twenty days later, I already have the capital to laugh at the world. Life is full of unpredictable encounters. At least I now have my own goal and the foundation to achieve it. If you believe in me, let me give it a try. If you don’t, I will still follow this path."

A moment of silence.

Yixue played with her hair, revealing her inner turmoil.

Chu Fei was completely confused. She felt like her brain had short-circuited. The man in front of her was talking nonsense again, but why did it sound so sincere? She actually believed every word he said.

"Think about it. Jubaizhai isn’t completely in my hands yet, and there’s still room for a comeback." Su Wen stood up. "The moonlight is beautiful, but it has its phases. I might have to move soon."

If Yixue refused, he would definitely not stay at Jubaizhai.

Looking at Su Wen’s back, Yixue took a deep breath. She stood up from her chair and said in a serious tone, "Su Wen, Jubaizhai can be yours, but what can you give us?"

This was almost an agreement to Su Wen’s conditions.

Su Wen smiled slightly. He looked at Yixue and raised his finger: "First, if you’re willing to marry me, I can give you 49% of Jubaizhai’s shares. Second, if you’re not willing, I can give you 10% of the shares, with 5% each for Old Master Chu and you."

"You’re dreaming." Yixue blushed, saying it involuntarily.

"Exactly." Chu Fei pouted. "Why should my cousin get 49% of the shares if she marries you, and only 20% if she doesn’t? Don’t forget, Jubaizhai is our family’s."

Su Wen looked at Chu Fei: "Your cousin is worth it. Do you have a problem with that?"

"What if I marry you?" Chu Fei couldn’t help but ask.

"If it’s you, not even 1%." Su Wen was quite discouraging. "You could squander all the money, and I can’t afford to support you. So, just be a good little sister-in-law and I’ll give you pocket money."

Yixue’s face turned even redder. She kicked Su Wen out: "If you keep talking like that, I’ll sue you."

Su Wen rubbed his buttocks, looking at Yixue in disbelief. This woman looked cold, but when she got angry, she was incredibly crazy. It seemed that making Yixue work for him wouldn’t be easy.

"Fei, let’s go to bed." Yixue didn’t want to see Su Wen anymore.

"Hey, you haven’t said whether you choose the first or the second option." Su Wen shouted.

"The first one is out of the question. I choose the second. Honestly, if you ruin Jubaizhai, the first and second options don’t matter. But if you succeed, both options will bring us countless benefits. Why should I put myself in it?" Yixue smiled at Su Wen.

"You’re not greedy at all." Su Wen was speechless.

"Su Wen, if you want to pursue me, you need to level up. I’m not that easy to conquer. But I’m happy to tell you that you’ve made my heart waver, something no other man has done." Yixue looked back at Su Wen.

"That’s an honor. It seems I’m much better than those men." Su Wen felt a bit proud.

"Yes, you’re definitely much thicker-skinned. We’ve known each other for less than half a month, and you’ve already proposed to me more than once." Yixue said casually.

Chu Fei couldn’t help but laugh, covering her mouth: "Yes, Cousin, he’s the most shameless."

Su Wen was embarrassed: "Yixue, don’t make me marry you, or you’ll be stuck at home taking care of the kids!"

Yixue walked into the room without looking back, her voice coming from inside: "That depends on whether you have the ability."

Su Wen entered his room, feeling quite depressed. It was almost midnight, and he had forgotten to practice today. But confirming the ownership of Jubaizhai with Yixue was a great thing, so he decided to skip today’s practice.

The next day, when Su Wen went to Jubaizhai, he felt that everything was different.

Yixue, Chu Fei, and Old Master Chu were all there.

Li Huan and Chen Yunhao were also present.

"Sign this agreement, and you’ll be the owner of Jubaizhai." Yixue, dressed in a lawyer’s suit, smoothly placed a document in front of Su Wen.

"Okay." Su Wen agreed. He had already confirmed the ownership of Jubaizhai with Yixue, so this was no problem.

Old Master Chu watched Su Wen sign, somewhat resentful: "I said, whoever marries Su Wen will get Jubaizhai. If neither of you marries him, I’ll give Jubaizhai to Su Wen when I’m old. I don’t know why we’re doing this."

Yixue looked at Old Master Chu and shook her head: "Grandfather, what if Su Wen doesn’t take care of you in the future? This is an extra layer of protection. Su Wen gave me 10% of the shares, and I plan to transfer them to you or Fei. You need to sign for that."

Old Master Chu quickly said: "No, if Su Wen gives you the shares, keep them. I know what this boy means. In the future, you’ll be a shareholder of Jubaizhai, and he can openly ask for your advice. If you transfer them to us, he won’t be at ease."

"Those who know me, know me well." Su Wen couldn’t help but smile.

Yixue was instantly helpless.

After signing the agreement, Jubaizhai officially belonged to Su Wen, but the public owner was still Old Master Chu.

As for Su Wen?

He was the young master, or the boss!
