I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 311 The consequences of speaking badly

Five p.m.

Yan Yu's shop at Golden Eagle Shopping Center.

Thanks to the vigorous promotion efforts of major sports venues in Linjiang City, coupled with the positive impact of Li Qinling, the store's business has been quite good recently.

Shen Yanfei and Miao Ke are busy every day, and the store's turnover is rising steadily, which naturally makes the two women very happy.

"Sister Feifei, today's sales have reached 30,000 again. Shouldn't my salary be raised?"

Finally having a moment to spare, Miao Ke saw Fei Fei calculating with a calculator and boldly said, "I know how hard it was for you, Fei Fei, when we earned less. I accepted your monthly salary of six thousand. But now that we've switched to selling clothes and hats, business is booming thanks to Mr. Wei's support. I'm so busy every day, you know that, right?"

Shen Yanfei was in a great mood and readily agreed, "Okay! Starting this month, your base salary will be ten thousand! And I'll give you a commission for every extra month you earn!"

Based on current sales figures, after deducting all costs and expenses, Yan Yu is expected to make a profit of over 200,000 yuan this month.

If she can maintain this pace, she can earn over a million a year with this small shop.

Miao Ke has been with her for so many years and has always been serious and responsible in his work, which satisfies her, so she naturally won't treat him unfairly.

"Thank you, Sister Feifei!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Miao Ke leaned forward and hugged her, wishing he could give her a big kiss on the face.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Shen Yanfei forcefully pushed her away, and then saw a dejected Shen Zong step in with a distressed expression.

"It's not the weekend, how did you find the time to come over?"

Shen Yanfei's face immediately turned cold.

Shen Zong sighed and said, "I had a verbal argument with my boss yesterday, and in a fit of anger, I submitted my resignation, which he approved on the spot."

"You're quitting again?!" Shen Yanfei said angrily.

"My brother-in-law promised to ask a friend to help me find a new job. My boss has too many problems; I've had enough of him. If he causes trouble again, I'll just confront him directly." Shen Zong said nonchalantly, tilting his head back. "With my brother-in-law's business so big, finding me a new company is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

Now, he refers to Wei Lin as "brother-in-law" whenever he mentions him, as if Wei Lin and Shen Yanfei were already married.

When did he agree to find you a job?

Shen Yanfei screamed.

"Didn't I tell you? I went to my brother-in-law's company a few days ago." Shen Zong chuckled first, then his face turned troubled again: "Sun Lulu's parents have raised the bride price to 68 yuan."

"68?! Has his family gone mad? Shen Zong, did you say something to Sun Lulu?" Shen Yanfei stomped her feet in anger.

Sun Lulu's parents had previously demanded a bride price of 36 yuan, and it took a long time for them to reach an agreement. Now that they have suddenly changed their minds, there must be another reason. She guessed that it was most likely still a problem with her younger brother, Shen Zong.

“I told her about my brother-in-law’s situation, and she went home and told her parents, and then… that’s how it happened.”

Shen Zong was also furious, and said angrily, "They just asked for 32 yuan more, this family is crazy for money! Lulu is also angry, but there's nothing she can do about her parents."

"Sis, what should we do?"

"We love each other. Just because her parents changed their minds, does that mean we should break up?"

Shen Zong knew he was wrong for being so sharp-tongued, but he didn't want to break up with his girlfriend over this. After thinking about it all day without finding a good solution, he came to Shen Yanfei to complain again.

He didn't dare tell his own parents, knowing it would be pointless.

With his parents' meager savings, it was impossible for them to come up with that much money. Seeing that Yan Yu's business was getting better and better, and knowing that Wei Lin was financially well-off, he wanted to see if he could make a breakthrough through this channel.

"So what if it's over? With parents like that, there'll only be more trouble and problems in the future!"

Shen Yanfei was furious.

“I can’t let her go, and she can’t let me go either. Sister, after her parents changed their minds, she cried all night last night. It’s not her fault,” Shen Zong said bitterly.

Shen Yanfei retorted, "If you hadn't said anything, and she hadn't said anything either, how could this have happened?!"

As Yan Yu's business gradually improved, she originally planned to use the surplus money she had to make a down payment for her younger brother's house, or give it as a bride price to Sun Lulu's parents.

Now that Sun Lulu's parents have made a fuss, they've raised the price to 68 yuan, which has put her in a difficult position.

"Brother-in-law!"

Just as Shen Zong was about to continue arguing, he suddenly noticed Wei Lin's appearance and immediately called out to him eagerly.

Shen Yanfei glanced over and saw Wei Lin's tall and imposing figure. Instead of being overjoyed, she felt somewhat embarrassed and said, "Don't say another word about our family matters to him!"

However, Shen Zong seemed not to hear at all and excitedly rushed out to greet him.

Before even entering the shop, he told Wei Lin everything about losing his job and Sun Lulu's parents' demand for a higher bride price.

"Brother-in-law, help me!"

After saying that, Shen Zong grabbed Wei Lin's arm and shouted.

"Never mind whether he lives or dies! He brought this on himself, he deserves it!" Shen Yanfei was furious. She forcibly separated him from Wei Lin and gave Wei Lin a forced smile: "I can handle my own family matters. You're busy enough already, don't let these messy things distract you."

Learning from her younger brother that Wei Lin owned three companies and was extremely wealthy, she felt increasingly unworthy of him and didn't want him to look down on her because of her family's troubles. "The other party suddenly increased the bride price by 32 yuan?"

Wei Lin frowned.

"Yes, brother-in-law, it's really my fault. I had a sharp tongue!"

In front of him and Shen Yanfei, Shen Zong slapped himself twice, not too hard, and said in a wailing voice, "But I've already said it, and there's no going back! Brother-in-law, you own so many companies, I know you're definitely much smarter than me, can you tell me what to do?"

Wei Lin pondered for a moment and said, "You're really willing to listen to me?"

“I’m willing to listen. I’m willing to listen to anything you say!” Shen Zong nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.

He was indeed uneducated and incompetent, and he couldn't endure much hardship, but he always admired those who had built very successful businesses, and he instinctively felt both fear and respect for such people.

In his eyes, Wei Lin was that kind of person.

"Well."

Wei Lin nodded slightly and said, "Okay, later you should invite Sun Lulu and her parents to that large apartment in Junlin Mansion. Then you should tell Sun Lulu and her parents that you plan to break up directly. Don't communicate with Sun Lulu beforehand, just be prepared to break up."

"What's the deal with the large penthouse in Junlin Mansion? Brother-in-law, I don't want to split it!" Shen Zong asked anxiously.

Upon hearing that Wei Lin was going to invite Sun Lulu's family to his large apartment, Shen Yanfei was also stunned and asked, "Wei Lin, what are you doing?"

Before the Lunar New Year, Wei Lin made it clear that it was best not to mention that he had changed his car and bought a large apartment, so as not to make his parents worry.

Therefore, she always took taxis during the Spring Festival and never dared to reveal her current living situation.

Wei Lin's sudden change in attitude left her completely bewildered.

“Because it’s already been exposed to Shen Zong.” Wei Lin said calmly, “Since things have come to this, let’s change our strategy. Feifei, give the car to Shen Zong and let him drive it to pick up Sun Lulu and her family. Tell him the exact location of the parking space downstairs at Junlin Mansion and let him bring his people to park there directly.”

Shen Yanfei became increasingly puzzled. "What do you want to do?"

Wei Lin: "Just listen to me."

Shen Yanfei nodded obediently: "Oh."

"Sis, didn't you sell your car?" Shen Zong was also puzzled.

“I sold the old car and bought your sister a new one.” Wei Lin thought about the specific steps in his mind. Seeing that the store was not busy at the moment, he said, “Let’s go. I’ll explain it to you in detail on the way.”

……

after an hour.

As if in a dream, Shen Zong drove his brand-new Panamera to pick up Sun Lulu and her parents.

"Xiao Shen, whose car is this?"

Sun Zhenglong, feeling dizzy, sat in the back seat and leaned over to take a closer look. After confirming that Shen Zong was indeed driving, he couldn't help but ask, "Who did you borrow the car from? And where are you taking us?"

Fan Jie frowned and said, "Xiao Shen, is this your brother-in-law's car?"

After learning from their daughter Sun Lulu that Shen Zong's older sister had a very wealthy boyfriend and that their newly established shop was doing increasingly well, the couple suddenly changed their minds and raised the bride price to 68 yuan.

The couple felt a little embarrassed about doing such a thing and thought they could compromise by asking for less.

When they saw Shen Zong arrive in a luxury car worth millions to pick them up, saying that he wanted to renegotiate the bride price, they assumed that Shen Zong had borrowed the car from his brother-in-law to save face.

“This is my sister’s car.”

Shen Zong said calmly, his smile no longer as bright as before.

—This is what Wei Lin taught him.

"The grand penthouse in King's Landing, the million-dollar Panamera, and they were all given away as gifts..."

Shen Zong kept muttering to himself, deeply shocked.

Through the websites where he had opened memberships and the sales data that could be seen online, he knew that his brother-in-law was rich and powerful, but he did not expect Wei Lin to be so generous!
They were just boyfriend and girlfriend, far from being at the point of discussing marriage, yet millions were given away just like that.

The car and the house are both registered in his sister's name!

With Wei Lin's help, Yan Yu's shop has become increasingly successful.

"My brother-in-law is truly amazing! I have to listen carefully to every word he says and do things his way!"

Shen Zong made a decision in secret.

While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, he would occasionally check his location information and look at the parking space photos sent by his sister, including which direction he should take after entering the underground parking garage.

“Xiao Shen, please don’t blame us for suddenly raising the price. Our two families are in similar situations. You know Lulu has an older brother who hasn’t even started dating yet. When he gets married, the bride price will definitely be high. We’re just planning ahead and preparing in advance. We hope you can understand us old folks.”

Seeing that Shen Zong was acting differently than before, Sun Zhenglong guessed what he was angry about and couldn't help but explain.

Shen Zong remained silent, driving in silence, secretly anticipating his brother-in-law's response.
