Chapter 214 I spend money to make my dreams come true
Seeing Lu Man’s confused expression, Chen Yan wanted to laugh.
He looked at Lu Man and said deliberately, "What do you think? Is this store still okay?"
Lu Man looked at Chen Yan, opened his mouth, and said, "Where is my Manchu-Han Banquet? Where is my Imperial Court Banquet? Where is my Hai Tian Sheng Yan?"
Chen Yan smiled and said, "I didn't promise you these."
Yu Qiaoqiao, who had been staying next to Chen Yan, also poked her head out and said, "Sister Manman, I think... this is good to eat."
She said weakly, "When I saw those cars just now, I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest."
"It's still more comfortable here."
Lu Man: ...
I have ten thousand complaints, but I can’t even say them out!
Walking into the store, the store looks a bit shabby, but it looks clean.
Maybe because it was not dinner time, there were not many people in the restaurant, and Chen Yan went to a table in the corner with ease.
Lu Man and Yu Qiaoqiao followed Chen Yan in and sat in the corner with Chen Yan.
Yu Qiaoqiao felt very comfortable in this environment, but Lu Man was a little uncomfortable with it.
She had lived a wealthy life since she was a child, and her parents never allowed her to go to street shops. After graduation, she became a celebrity and frequented high-end places. In a place like this...she really felt uncomfortable.
Sometimes when she sits on a chair, she feels as if bacteria are crawling up her body along the chair: itchy...
She twisted her butt uncomfortably, and then said to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan, aren't you going to take us to see the world today?"
"Why...are you here?"
Chen Yan smiled and asked, "Have you ever seen a place like this before?"
Lu Man shook his head blankly.
Chen Yan said, "That's it. It's also a way to see the world."
Lu Man was even more stunned...
"Is this what you mean by seeing the world?"
"Then... my expectations were in vain?"
However, she thought carefully about what Chen Yan said to her that day and felt that something was still not right, so she asked again, "But didn't you say you were going to spend money?"
“Can I spend money here?”
"How much do you estimate you're going to spend today?"
Chen Yan didn't answer her first two questions. He just looked at the menu on the table and answered the last question nonchalantly, "It should cost about 40 to 50 million."
Yu Qiaoqiao, who was unable to get a word in the whole process, slowly had a cute question mark in her head:?
Lu Man had even more questions. She asked in surprise, "Four or five hundred million?"
She pointed at the store and said, "Are you planning to spend 40 or 50 million on this store?"
As he spoke, Lu Man tilted his head to look at Chen Yan's menu and said, "15 yuan for a bowl of noodles. 50 million. That's... more than 3 million bowls."
She asked, "Do you have a grudge against the owner of this store? Do you want to tire them to death?"
Chen Yan was amused by Lu Man. He smiled and tapped Lu Man's head, saying, "Just follow me today. Don't ask questions all the time."
"I have my own plans."
"Oh..." Lu Man pursed his lips, unhappy.
She is just curious...
Can't it make people a little curious?
Hum!
Chen Yan ignored Lu Man's temper. After reading the menu, he raised it and gestured, "Boss. Order."
The boss was a plump woman. She came over with a smile, wiped her hands on her apron, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Chen Yan said, "Three bowls of beef noodles, please."
“They all need beef.”
After saying that, Chen Yan paused, then smiled and said, "By the way, give me that bowl, and put 10 servings of beef in it separately!"
The proprietress was surprised and said, "10 servings of beef? That's a lot of money. Why don't you order a single serving of beef?"
Chen Yan said "willfully," No. I want to add it to the noodles!"
“This is what I wanted to do most when I was in school.”
Hearing Chen Yan's words, the proprietress smiled, said nothing, took the menu and left.
After watching her leave, Chen Yan looked at the two girls and said with a smile, "This is a restaurant I often ate at when I was in high school."
"As for how delicious it tastes, it's probably not that bad..."
"But... it's that taste from my childhood. It always makes me miss it."
"Back then, my parents gave me a limited living allowance, so I could only come here to eat once a week. Every time I ate noodles, there were only a few thin slices of beef on top."
"So, at that time, I thought, when I have money, I will definitely order a bowl of beef noodles. And then I will order 10 servings of beef!"
"It will be really enjoyable then!"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Chen Yan stupidly. After a while, she smiled slightly and said to Chen Yan softly, "Chen Yan, I understand."
Chen Yan smiled at Yu Qiaoqiao, then looked up and said to the proprietress, "Boss ! Add two fried eggs to the second bowl of noodles! To replenish her body! She still needs to grow taller!"
The lady boss who was busy in the kitchen heard Chen Yan's call and responded with a smile, "Okay~"
At this time, Lu Man also stared at Chen Yan blankly, and her eyes gradually softened. She also gradually understood...
It turns out that when Chen Yan went out to spend money today, he was not spending it casually, but... he was going to spend it on some things he wanted to do when he had no money.
That is what we commonly call a "dream".
This also makes today's spending money suddenly meaningful.
But even though she figured it out, she was a stubborn person and didn't say a soft word like Yu Qiaoqiao. Instead, she snorted and said awkwardly, "No matter how strong the friendship is, it won't cost 40 or 50 million."
Chen Yan smiled and stretched out his hand to the boss lady, "Boss lady, the third bowl of noodles only needs to be half the size! She needs to maintain her figure!"
Lu Man was furious, "You!"
Chen Yan looked at her and said righteously, "Sister Meili said that you have been a little indulgent recently. You are gaining weight, so let me supervise you."
Lu Man: ...
Lu Man was speechless.
After a while, the noodles arrived. The portion was large and the soup was piping hot, but... there was indeed not much meat: except for Chen Yan's bowl.
Chen Yan's bowl of noodles with 10 portions of meat was almost entirely filled with meat, with the ratio of meat to noodles being almost one to one.
Chen Yan picked up the noodles contentedly and started eating happily.
Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Chen Yan's childhood dream coming true and laughed secretly with her hands covering her mouth: She thought Chen Yan was so cute. His favorability was UP, UP~
After laughing, Yu Qiaoqiao gathered her hair, picked up the chopsticks, and lowered her head to eat the beef noodles that Chen Yan had added two extra eggs to.
Only Lu Man looked at the two of them, then angrily looked at his own half-eaten noodles, untied his mask, and started eating with a pursed mouth...
The meal took half an hour.
After the meal, Chen Yan paid the bill and then took the two girls to their next destination.
In fact, after getting the [Super Rich Card], Chen Yan had thought about how he would use it.
At the beginning, he considered spending the money completely based on the idea of maximizing benefits.
For example... buy a few kilograms of gold and save it. For example, buy a house directly for investment, or buy some assets that can be converted into cash.
But gradually, Chen Yan changed his mind.
Because he felt that... although he had made a lot of money during this period, he had not really spent any money on himself.
Maybe with the 10 times cashback from Yu Qiaoqiao and Lu Man, he always felt reluctant to spend money on himself because... he felt that this was not spending money, but a loss.
For example, he bought himself a lunch. He spent 100 yuan. He didn't feel that he spent 100 yuan, but felt that he lost 1,000 yuan...
This mentality is actually a bit morbid.
Therefore, during the two months of planning, Chen Yan gradually realized the usage of this [Super Rich Card]: that is... buy what you want to buy, spend what you want to spend.
Everything is up to you! Just think of it as fulfilling your countless dreams!
Therefore, this is why Chen Yan chose to come to this noodle shop as his first stop...
After making this decision, Chen Yan reversed his entire plan and suddenly found that his idea was very correct.
Because only if he really opened up to the pleasure of spending money, could he let Yu Qiaoqiao and Lu Man understand that money meant nothing to him, just a tool to gain happiness.
If he himself was very stingy with his money, buying stocks, gold, and assets, the two girls would also be affected and would not be willing to accept Chen Yan's spending so carelessly, because they would also start to be frugal with him.
So, after recalling his thoughts over the past two months on the road, Chen Yan followed his plan and arrived at the second stop, Qindao’s largest business complex: MixC.
Chen Yan doesn’t have many hobbies, the biggest of which is games.
When he was poor, he had to be very careful when buying games. For example, when buying a PS4, he would buy the disc version, because he could buy the game disc to complete the game, and then sell it second-hand to make a profit.
This actually meant that as a game fan and collector, he was unable to fully enjoy the game.
But today, after being able to open up and bloom, Chen Yan is different.
So after arriving at the video game store in Vientiane City, Chen Yan walked in and directly said to the boss, "Boss, how many game consoles do we have?"
The boss is a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard.
Hearing Chen Yan's words, he raised his head and said, "We have all the mainstream ones. PS4, switch, xbox, Scorpio. Whatever you want, I have it here."
Chen Yan said, "Oh," and said, "Then get one of each. The best ones, with the largest capacity, and upgraded models."
After that, Chen Yan added, "Also, give me one of each of the games on these game consoles. I want them all."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, the shop owner, who had originally not cared, looked up in surprise.
Video game stores have always been a declining industry and they don’t make much money in any city, so it’s usually good enough to be able to open a store. And now they suddenly have such a big customer?
