Chapter 8: Five Hundred Million
Upon hearing this, Chen Bufan also understood Zhou Nan's intention, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up as he said: "What if I say no?"
Zhou Nan was instantly taken aback, staring at the rose in his hand that had been sprayed by Chen Bufan. His expression darkened in an instant, and his gaze towards Chen Bufan was filled with rising anger
Upon seeing Zhou Nan's angry expression, Chu Zixuan couldn't help but cast a slightly helpless glance at Chen Bufan. She was unsure whether he had done it on purpose or if he had genuinely sneezed, but he had inadvertently ruined Zhou Nan's roses. Given Zhou Nan's temperament, he probably wished he could kill him right now
Chen Bufan's lips curled slightly; he had also figured out that Zhou Nan had been pursuing Chu Zixuan all along. Unfortunately, Chu Zixuan was not interested in him.
A trace of worry involuntarily appeared on Chu Zixuan's delicate face as she nervously looked at Chen Bufan, wondering if he would really choose to leave her for the sake of money
Chen Bufan shook his head and said, "Zixuan and I are just friends; I cannot influence her thoughts. If you want to invite her to dinner, you should ask her directly. Of course, she has already given you a clear response just now, so you should not continue to pursue it to avoid any awkwardness in the future"
Upon seeing this, Zhou Nan could not help but let out a cold snort and said: "How about this, as long as you promise to keep your distance from Li Zixuan, I will immediately give you 30,000 yuan, how does that sound?"
"Zhou Nan, I apologize, this is my friend, named Chen Bufan. I will compensate you for your rose." Chu Zixuan hurriedly said, as she did not want to involve Chen Bufan in her own matters.
Unfortunately, the change in his expression just now did not escape Chen Bufan's keen eyes
Upon seeing the rose in Zhou Nan's hand, Chu Zixuan felt no joy whatsoever. Instead, her brows furrowed slightly as she shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I cannot accept your flower. Additionally, I already have plans for this evening, my apologies."
However, for Chu Zixuan, there was not the slightest attraction; there was only disgust.
fifty thousand
Achoo
Having finished speaking, Chen Bufan reached into his pocket and continued to fumble around.
Zixuan, please think it over again. You know that I have always liked you. This bouquet of flowers represents my feelings for you
No, no, no, Master Zhou, you have misunderstood
She has also heard some things about Zhou Nan, who, relying on his family's wealth and power, has harmed countless girls at school. Now he has started to pursue her, which makes her feel very uncomfortable
"Does Young Master Zhou have any matters to attend to?" Chen Bufan paused and inquired
"How much do you want?" Zhou Nan's eyes lit up. Upon hearing Chen Bufan ask this question, he knew that this guy must have been tempted. As long as he was willing to leave Chu Zixuan, what would it matter to take a bit more money?
Having finished speaking, Chen Bufan carefully rummaged through his pocket for a moment, and finally pulled out a crumpled fifty-yuan bill, which he unceremoniously placed on the rose, asking, "Is this enough?"
It seems that the young man is going to face trouble
He has nothing else, just money
This bouquet of roses is from Resonly, the most renowned rose brand in the country, all imported from Ecuador. This bouquet cost him a full 5,000 yuan
... ...
"Cut it out, you just don't have the chance." A group of girls scoffed, secretly wishing they could have some indescribable encounter with a wealthy young master like Zhou Nan
"What a load of nonsense about romance! I still know who Zhou Nan is, don’t I? If the campus beauty of Chu University really agrees to have dinner with him, it might be dangerous tonight." Some boys expressed their indignation, secretly praying that Chu Zixuan would never agree, as they did not want their goddess to be sullied by someone like Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan let out a faint cold laugh; this kid dared to go against him, simply asking for trouble
What is this guy doing
Zhou Nan glanced at the bouquet of roses in his hand and said coldly: "This bouquet of roses cost a total of 5,000 yuan. You were originally required to compensate the full amount, but considering that you are a friend of Zi Xuan, you only need to pay 3,000 yuan."
"That is my business; you just need to leave here." Zhou Nan's tone became firm, as he did not have the time to continue this tedious conversation with this guy
Is this guy trying to brush off a beggar
Zhou Nan was momentarily taken aback, then couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, thinking that poor people are indeed short-sighted. Even if at this moment Chen Bufan were to demand five hundred thousand, he might very well agree, after all, for a campus goddess like Chu Zixuan, five hundred thousand is not considered much.
I have heard people say before that wherever Chu Zixuan is, Zhou Nan is sure to be there as well. It seems that this statement is indeed true
She did not know why, but upon seeing Chen Bufan defend himself so fiercely, a small sense of happiness unexpectedly arose in her heart
Zhou Nan is well-known as a rich second generation in their school, surrounded by numerous bodyguards, and that Chen Bufan is clearly no match for him
"Alright, what is the bank card number? I will transfer 50,000 yuan to you immediately. Take the money and get lost right away, and never show up next to Zixuan again. Do you understand?" Zhou Nan said with a disdainful sneer.
After a considerable amount of time, he finally took out several one-hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, counted them, and found a total of five, which was indeed quite far from three thousand yuan.
Zhou Nan's lips curled slightly as he looked at Chen Bufan beside him and smiled, saying: "This brother, I would like to invite Zixuan to have a meal together, and I hope you can agree."
Haha, it seems that Young Master Zhou is indeed magnanimous. In that case, I will go have dinner with Zi Xuan. Goodbye. " After saying this, Chen Bufan intended to leave with Chu Zixuan
Do you disagree? Hehe, then you might have to consider the matter of compensation
As long as Chen Bufan cannot afford to compensate, he has a reason to seek trouble with him
Some students around saw Zhou Nan walking towards Chu Zixuan with a bouquet of roses in hand, and immediately began to discuss among themselves, their gazes towards Chen Bufan filled with pity
In that case, she would be very disappointed
If she were an ordinary girl, she would likely be tempted by Zhou Nan's sweet talk, after all, despite his poor character, he is handsome and wealthy
Zixuan, look at what you are saying, we have known each other for quite a long time, so we should be relatively familiar with each other, right
Chu Zixuan looked at the rather handsome Zhou Nan in front of her, but unlike other girls, she did not become infatuated; instead, a hint of disdain flickered in her eyes.
Zhou Nan saw the crumpled fifty yuan note in Chen Bufan's hand and was filled with rage, wishing he could immediately drive his flashy Ferrari 458 and knock this man out of the way, then run over him repeatedly.
"Zixuan, I originally intended to go to school to find you, but I didn't expect you to have already come out." Under the gaze of the crowd, Zhou Nan approached Chu Zixuan with a smile, greeting her in a voice rich with magnetism
Although she knew that Chen Bufan was exceptionally skilled, Zhou Nan came from a prominent family, and if he were truly provoked, it would likely lead to a great deal of trouble
fifty yuan
Upon hearing this, Zhou Nan's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly returned to his usual demeanor, his face still adorned with a warm smile reminiscent of a gentle spring breeze
It seems that Zixuan is not as valuable in your heart after all
Zhou Nan is indeed coming for Chu Zixuan
Zhou Nan smiled gently, picked up the vibrant bouquet of roses in her hand, and said: "Zixuan, this is for you. May I invite you to dinner together?"
Zhou Nan was taken aback, a flash of anger crossing his eyes, and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"
It seems you have asked the wrong person
"Thirty thousand yuan? Isn't that a bit too little?" Chen Bufan murmured
Chu Zixuan looked at Zhou Nan with a calm expression and said: "Moreover, we are not that familiar with each other, so you may as well call me by my full name."
Heh, with such a small amount of money, you dare to boast in front of me; truly, you are overestimating yourself
Chen Bufan wore an expression that completely indicated he was unaware of having made a mistake. He rubbed his nose and said apologetically: "I’m sorry, I have a bit of a pollen allergy, and I accidentally ruined your flowers."
Do you have something to discuss
How about this number?" Chen Bufan spread out one hand
Zhou Nan ignored him, his gaze lingering on Chu Zixuan, and he said with a light laugh: "Zixuan, I just mentioned inviting you to dinner, and I hope you can reconsider it. We have known each other for so long, yet we have never had a meal together. I hope you will not refuse my goodwill"
... ...
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Bufan suddenly sneezed at the bouquet of vibrant roses, instantly interrupting Zhou Nan's words
"I am sorry, but I have already made an appointment with Brother Bufan," Chu Zixuan said, shaking her head without hesitation, her attitude resolute. She knew what kind of person Zhou Nan was, and she was concerned that dining with such a person would make it difficult for her to eat.
Chen Bufan shook his head and explained: "What I meant was not fifty thousand, but five hundred million"
Is that so
Chen Bufan murmured, shook his head, and said: "Well, it's just three thousand yuan. I'll give you three thousand yuan, and from now on, you should stop harassing Zhou Nan."
Zhou Nan's gloomy expression faded away, replaced by a touch of graceful demeanor. Shaking his head, he said: "Moreover, since this person is your friend, I will not pursue the matter any further"
To his surprise, Chen Bufan only asked for 50,000 to settle the matter, which was rather easy to handle
However, rest assured, I am not someone who takes advantage of others. This bouquet appears to be worth some money. How about this: I will give you the money, and you can go buy another one.
As Zhou Nan spoke these words, a hint of disdain appeared on his face. The reason he voluntarily reduced the amount by 2,000 yuan was that, judging from Chen Bufan's attire, it was unlikely he could even come up with 300 yuan, let alone 3,000 yuan.
"Who are you?" Zhou Nan asked coldly, suppressing the anger in his heart. If he had not noticed that the man in front of him seemed to have some connection with Chu Zixuan, he would have already been unable to hold back and slapped him.
Zixuan, what do you mean by that? This bouquet of roses was originally intended for you. Although it is no longer needed now, there is absolutely no need for you to compensate for it
"Wow, so romantic!" Some girls, upon seeing this, couldn't help but scream, their eyes filled with deep envy.
