After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"Boss Zhu, one day apart feels like three long years; I've really missed you!"

Xu Musen called Zhu Yulan, his voice full of emotion.

"Hehe."

On the other end of the line, Zhu Yulan responded with a cold chuckle, "What is it this time? Are you going to swindle me again?"

"Boss Zhu, you wound me. Can't old friends catch up without a reason to call?"

"Do you ever call me when there's nothing in it for you? Isn't it always to trick me? You're the king of scams."

Zhu Yulan didn't mince her words, and an involuntary eye-roll came with them, but only those who really knew her understood that if Zhu Yulan truly disliked someone, she would just coldly distance herself.

"You've got me all wrong. This time I genuinely have a great opportunity for you. Would you be interested in earning an easy fifty thousand bucks?"

Xu Musen asked her, chuckling.

Fifty thousand—a year's savings for an average salaried worker.

But when Zhu Yulan heard this,

Fifty thousand?

Are you throwing spare change at a beggar?

"Oh, not interested."

Zhu Yulan's tone was indifferent.

"Do I look like someone who needs that extra fifty thousand spending money?"

"..."

Xu Musen felt a bit helpless. What's the saying? Drowned in drought and washed away in floods?

How do these rich women think? Fifty thousand bucks, a year's saving for the working class, for crying out loud!

"Boss Zhu, Boss Zhu the wealthy, you might not need it but I do. Have some pity on me."

Xu Musen started to play the sympathy card—though An Nuannuan's family had invested in him, he still had to be thrifty before he could bring them any returns.

Xu Musen always kept business and personal matters separate.

Hearing his piteous tone, Zhu Yulan's lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.

She was in her office at the moment, with her long, elegant legs propped up on the desk, popping a strawberry in her mouth and chewing as she listened to Xu Musen's pleas, which lifted her spirits.

"Well then, I suppose I can listen, out of sheer kindness."

"I knew Boss Zhu was reasonable. Here's the situation..."

Xu Musen shared his idea with Zhu Yulan.

The gist was that Xu Musen was ostensibly providing free tea as a price war tactics, while also letting Zhou Hangyu and the others perform their ludicrous acting.

It was all to create a psychological gap for these students; with better and cheaper options available, they naturally would not come to this milk tea shop anymore.

And since the proprietress was one to take undue advantage of others and was narrow-minded, she certainly wouldn't be able to keep her cool or anticipate the underlying complexities.

Xu Musen planned to spread rumors about opening a new milk tea shop opposite hers, squeezing her business till she couldn't continue.

Then, he'd also poke at her from time to time.

It was very possible that, in a moment of desperation, the proprietress would sell her shop. When that happened, Zhu Yulan could step in, pretending to compete with Xu Musen for the lease.

The proprietress would subconsciously align with Zhu Yulan.

After all, one of human nature's weaknesses is that even at one's own expense, seeing others worse off can be gratifying.

When it came down to it, the milk tea shop owner might very well transfer the shop at a low price just to spite them, and then Zhu Yulan could pass it on to Xu Musen, bringing everything to a neat conclusion.

After Xu Musen finished explaining his plan,

there was a pause on Zhu Yulan's end, as this naïve young rich woman might have been experiencing the wickedness of society for the first time.

"Xu Musen, you really can't go a day without scamming someone."

Zhu Yulan couldn't help but speak up.

"Well, she started it by not honoring the contract. It's not my fault."

Xu Musen replied with a laugh.

"I can help you with this favor, but what's in it for me?"

"Conditions? With our deep revolutionary friendship, you need conditions?"

"Who has a revolutionary friendship with you? You think I'm going to work for you for free? Don't even think about it."

"Alright, how about a few KFC meals?"

"Tsk, you already owe me several... forget it, I'll let you know once I decide. Just be ready to serve at any time."

Zhu Yulan's voice carried a mischievous tone, as if she was looking forward to bossing him around.

Xu Musen feared this kind of blank check the most—who knows what terms they might come up with?

"Boss Zhu, let me be clear upfront, I'm selling my talent, not my body. If you ask for too much, I won't make good on it."

On the other end, Zhu Yulan choked on the strawberry in her mouth and coughed, holding her phone, her face turning a bit red.

She caught her breath and chuckled coldly,

"Hehe... with your physique, I wouldn't take it even if you offered. Can't be bothered with you, bye!"

Click, the call was disconnected.

Xu Musen smiled to himself; it seemed like the deal was done.

On the other end, Zhu Yulan stared at the hung-up phone, at the "Scam King" nickname saved in her contacts, and snorted.

Conceited jerk, bragging about not selling himself; the line of people trying to woo me could wrap around Fudan University multiple times, okay?

Tsk!

She was pondering over how to properly scam him back when suddenly her phone rang again. She picked it up, and her pretty brows furrowed instinctively upon seeing the contact information.

After hesitating for a moment, she answered the call with a cool voice, Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

"What is it?"

"Oh my, is that the way my dear sister talks to her big sis?"

On the other end of the line came the playful tones of a mature woman's voice.

It was Zhu Yulan's sister, Zhu Xianglan—the sophisticated woman who had previously made acquaintance with Xu Musen.

Zhu Yulan seemed to have little to say to her: "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

On the other end, Zhu Xianglan wasn't the slightest bit upset by her sister's cold demeanor, but instead, she began speaking with a smile, "Come home for dinner the next couple of nights; Father has returned and seems to have something to say."
