Beating the New First-tier: Starting from Abandoned Gas Stations

Chapter 1 Taking Over an Abandoned Gas Station

In the Gobi Desert in the northwest of Xia State, a pickup truck was speeding northwest along National Highway 215.

"What era is it now? Being a live-in son-in-law is not shameful! What's more, you are a live-in son-in-law of the Su family. Besides, to be frank, with your ability and status, marrying into the Su family is already considered marrying up!"

inside the car,

A middle-aged man in his forties said to Shen Chuan very seriously,

"is it?"

Shen Chuan glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently.

"Isn't it? I know you may have heard some rumors about Miss Su these past few days, but after all, Miss Su just went out on a private yacht with her male bestie for a few days. Is this a small matter for you young people?"

Before Shen Chuan could respond, the middle-aged man quickly added,
"Listen to my advice, don't be angry anymore, and put the overall interests of the family first!

Before I get there, I should call the chairman and apologize. He will definitely pretend nothing happened.

Otherwise, when the time comes, you can’t hold on any longer and will have to go back. What’s the point in that?”

"I put the overall situation first?"

Shen Chuan stared at the highway ahead through the car window, and vaguely saw a small black dot appear at the end of the highway.

A week ago, he accidentally came to this world called Blue Water Star and became Shen Chuan, the eldest son of Shen Yuntian, a real estate tycoon in Xia Guofu Province of Blue Water Star.

In this world, Shen Chuan's mother died of illness when he was two years old. He lived with his grandparents until his grandparents passed away. Only then was he taken back to his father Shen Yuntian.

At this time, Shen Yuntian had already married a new wife and had given birth to two younger brothers for Shen Chuan.

Shen Chuan, who grew up in such an environment, not only suffered all kinds of grievances, but also had terrible academic qualifications and abilities. In the end, he only got a fine arts diploma from a third-tier university.

Originally, life could still go on!
But who would have thought that in order to be firmly bound to the Su family in Fu City and maximize commercial interests, Shen Yuntian actually took the initiative to propose to choose one of his three sons to be a son-in-law to the Su family and continue the Su family's bloodline, and to hold a formal engagement ceremony at the end of the year.

The Su family also hit it off immediately.

It was simply because the news of her daughter's misconduct in life had spread throughout the socialite circle in Fujian Province, and it was no longer possible for her to marry into a wealthy family.

Not surprisingly,

This great "good thing" fell on Shen Chuan again.

In Shen Yuntian's eyes, his eldest son Shen Chuan has nothing to offer except his looks. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a big waste in the Shen family which is full of elites. It is even more impossible for him to achieve anything or develop in the future.

Such a son is simply a natural son-in-law prepared for the Su family!
Is there any better deal in the world than exchanging waste for a permanent business partner?

If Shen Chuan had not traveled through time, perhaps things would have gone exactly as Shen Yuntian had arranged, but Shen Chuan appeared!
What was even more coincidental was that as soon as I came through, I saw Miss Su posting photos and videos on her WeChat Moments of her and her male best friend wearing bikinis and going out to sea on a private yacht.

As the youngest top ancient architecture research expert on the planet, how could Shen Chuan accept such a thing?
So I decisively chose to refuse!
He also told Shen Yuntian to find his other two sons.

Shen Yuntian, who was already used to Shen Chuan's various obedience, smashed the table on the spot. In a rage, he asked his subordinates to take Shen Chuan to an abandoned gas station in the northwest Gobi Desert to reflect on his mistakes.

Only one camping tent and two compressed biscuits and four bottles of mineral water are provided every day.
Until Shen Chuan could no longer hold on, admitted his mistake, and agreed to be the son-in-law of the Su family.

The reason why Shen Yuntian chose the abandoned gas station was because this abandoned gas station was the legacy left to Shen Chuan by Shen Chuan's grandfather when he passed away and felt sorry for Shen Chuan. The property certificate had long been in Shen Chuan's hands.

So this is the scene before our eyes!
"Alas, young people are young after all. Once you get there and see the difference between the Gobi Desert and Fu City, you will definitely not think so!"

Seeing that Shen Chuan still insisted and showed no intention of repenting or yielding,
The man curled his lips and unconsciously stepped on the accelerator a few degrees harder.

The car speed soared from over 70 to 100 in an instant.

The man's name was Zhang Quan. He had been with Shen Yuntian for over a decade and was now a vice president at Shen's Real Estate. His main mission this time was to stay in the nearby county town until Shen Chuan gave up and called him for help. Then he could rush to the gas station and bring Shen Chuan back to Fu City.

Chi!
After a few minutes of silence in the car, the sound of brakes broke the originally silent atmosphere, and the car was heard on the gravel beach beside the national highway.

"Here we are, see for yourself!"

Turning his head to look at Shen Chuan in the passenger seat, Zhang Quan unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car first.

“Is this my gas station?”

get off,

After looking around and seeing the scene in front of him, Shen Chuan's brows were almost twisted into a knot.

Although I had prepared myself mentally on the way here and knew that this gas station located deep in the Gobi Desert would definitely be dilapidated as it had not been taken care of for two or three years, I did not expect it to be so dilapidated.

The gas station has a standard square layout.

A large rain and snow shelter, a business hall, a living area, and a car wash and water supply area at the edge.

But now these areas no longer look like they did when they were in operation.

The iron signboard, which had been eroded by wind for ten years, had its corners curled up under the scorching sun of the Gobi Desert. Only the "玉", "口" and "油" of the four characters "夏国压力" remained. Only a few broken and rusty oil drums placed at the base of the half-broken wall showed that this was once a gas station and not anywhere else.

Not only were the fuel nozzles of the two gas pumps thrown on the ground, but there were also asphalt-like black scabs on the nozzles.

The display screen of the gas pump was smashed to pieces by someone with a stone, and there were several holes the size of bowls on the chassis.

Let's look at the business hall under the snow shed.

The aluminum alloy sliding door had been removed long ago and moved to an unknown place. The cash register inside was also missing. The house covering an area of ​​70 to 80 square meters was left with only an empty cement frame besides a thick layer of sand and broken glass on the ground.

The business hall was like this, and the living area behind it was not spared from the bad fate.

It’s even harder to say than in a business hall!
In addition to the garbage left by various homeless people, hikers, and high-altitude live broadcasters on the ground, the wall of the house had several cracks as thick as thumbs for unknown reasons. It felt like it could be blown down at any time by a strong sandstorm.

In addition, the gas station is located deep in the Gobi Desert.
Apart from the National Highway 215 in front of it, there is a vast and uninhabited Gobi desert, which makes the gas station look even more dead, and even gives people the feeling of the famous Dragon Gate Inn in the TV series on Earth.

The only thing that made Shen Chuan feel a little relieved was the size of the gas station.

The property certificate shows that the total area of ​​all areas of the gas station is about 1500 square meters, but in fact it should be about 2,000 square meters.

"So what? You've seen what happened at the gas station. Are you done with it? Now you can honestly call the chairman and admit your mistake. After you're done, we'll go back to Fu City."

Just when Shen Chuan was lost in thought, Zhang Quan came over, pointed towards the gas station, and said with certainty.

His eyes and movements conveyed only one meaning: "The sky is falling! Do you dare to stay in this environment, in this place? Is it that different from Fu City?"

"Back to Fu City?"

Shen Chuan took a deep breath.

"if not?"

Upon hearing,
Zhang Quan was a little surprised.

He really couldn't think of any other answer Shen Chuan could give.

Even he felt an inexplicable sense of panic when he looked at this place. He might be able to hold on during the day, but he would definitely collapse at night, not to mention Shen Chuan who had lived in Fu City since he was a child.
