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

Chapter 2 Strong Capital!
"Although there's nothing here, at least it's my place, and I feel comfortable staying here!"

Glancing at Zhang Quan who was full of surprise,

Shen Chuan turned around, opened the trunk of the SUV, and took out his backpack.

Although he came from another world, Shen Chuan is not a fool, nor is he the kind of person who only cares about talking big to protect his self-esteem without paying attention to the actual situation!
In this world, Shen Chuan's personal finances have been strictly controlled by his family since he was a child. Even when he went to college, he used Shen Yuntian's secondary credit card. Only when he was a child did he see very little New Year's money every year.

This time, I dare to confront my family, so I naturally have the confidence to do so.

It was only because after traveling through time, the two Shen Chuans merged into one and at the same time, they also activated an Earth mall system!
As the name suggests,

As long as you have the corresponding system currency, you can buy anything that exists on Earth except humans from the system.

System coins can be exchanged for Xia coins on a one-to-one basis, or you can undertake some tasks from the system. Upon completing the corresponding tasks, you will receive corresponding system coin rewards.

In addition, when purchasing something from the system, the system will also handle it accordingly and will never let people in this world find out anything abnormal.

That's not counting,

When the system was activated, an initial capital of 100,000 system coins was given.

If there was no system, and no 100,000 system coins given by the system, Shen Chuan might still find a way to reject this designated marriage, but he would never be as direct as he is now.

"Feeling good? Oh, my young master, it's already this late and you're still being stubborn! The recycling station in Fu City is in better condition than here. Are you sure you want to stay here?"

Zhang Quan was depressed after getting a definite answer, and mentioned Fu City again, trying to use the conditions of Fu City to dissuade Shen Chuan from his idea.

If you ask who wants Shen Chuan to go back the most, it’s Shen Yuntian and Zhang Quan!

After all, if Shen Chuan doesn't go back for a day, Zhang Quan will have to stay in Shayang County, which is 100 kilometers away from the gas station, for a day.

Zhang Quan, who was used to living in big cities like Fu City, thought that coming to the northwest of Xia Country was already suffering, let alone the more remote and backward Shayang County, Gequan City, Xisu Province.

"Boss Zhang, come over and count the supplies! Is this a month's supply of mineral water and compressed biscuits?"

Shen Chuan did not respond, but pointed to the supplies that had been unloaded on the ground.

Shen Yuntian originally wanted to send basic life supplies to Shen Chuan once a day, but then he felt that if Shen Chuan saw Zhang Quan once a day, he might not be able to feel the loneliness and despair brought by the Gobi Desert.
So he asked Zhang Quan to prepare sixty compressed biscuits and one hundred and twenty bottles of mineral water so that he wouldn't have to meet Shen Chuan for a month.

of course,

This month is the maximum time Shen Yuntian has given Shen Chuan, but in reality he cannot stay that long.

"You still need to count just that little stuff?"

Hearing this, Zhang Quan gave Shen Chuan a look of disgust and speechlessness.

It is generally acknowledged that Shen Chuan has no status in the Shen Group. Even the security guards and cleaners do not take Shen Chuan seriously, and Zhang Quan is even less so.

But complaining is complaining,
Zhang Quan still didn't dare to get angry at Shen Chuan. He just kept muttering in a voice that only he could hear while walking towards the trunk, venting his dissatisfaction.
"What's the big deal about one more compressed biscuit and two fewer bottles of mineral water? They might call and ask you to pick you up at night. It's pure nonsense!"

"It's only because he was born in the Shen family. Otherwise, a person like him who has no ability, no brains and is also very stubborn would not be accepted as a son-in-law by the Su family, even if he can be the gatekeeper of the Su family, they may not want him."

"Wait till you can't hold on any longer and call for help, and see what I'll say to you."

The Xia Kingdom had a vast territory, covering more than 10 million square kilometers.

As one of the 34 provinces, Fujian Province has a small area, but because it is located on the eastern coast, its GDP ranks eighth in the country.

The GDP of Fuzhou, the provincial capital, has already broken the trillion mark and is about to become a new first-tier city in Xia State. As Zhang Quan said,
The abandoned gas station in the Shenchuan Gobi Desert is really not as good as the garbage recycling point here in terms of conditions.

At ten o'clock in the morning, just when Shen Chuan arrived at the abandoned gas station,
In a commercial building within the Second Ring Road of Fuzhou City with a "Shen's Real Estate" billboard hanging on its facade, a man who was originally leaning back in his boss's chair instantly leaned forward after listening to the report from the secretary opposite him.

The man is no one else,

It was Shen Yuntian, the chairman of Shen Real Estate and Shen Chuan’s father.

"Are you sure that Mr. Liang wants to retire? Is the information reliable?"

He asked.

"The news has spread. Many developers in Xia Country who have the qualifications to develop ancient building projects have received the news. Now they are ready to invite Mr. Liang to be their chief consultant."

The secretary nodded heavily.

"That's perfectly normal! As the former director of the Xia Kingdom Ancient Architecture Research Institute, Mr. Liang has both the skills and connections in ancient architecture! As long as he can act as a consultant and endorse the company, wouldn't Xia Kingdom be able to take on all sorts of large-scale antique-style commercial development projects in the future?
More importantly, although Mr. Liang has retired, his administrative level remains.

If our company can invite Mr. Liang to be our chief consultant, it will not only instantly elevate our company to the top of the industry, but will also be of great help when we push for a future IPO!"

The more you say,

The more excited Shen Yuntian became, the more he rubbed his hands subconsciously, as if he had already invited the Mr. Liang he had mentioned.

"Boss Shen, what should we do now? Should we have our second son, who's in charge of the residential project in Yancheng, go and test Mr. Liang's reaction first?"

The secretary asked tentatively.

The second young master she mentioned was Shen Yuntian’s second son, Shen Wang.

Shen Wang graduated with a degree in architecture from a university abroad. After returning to China, he presided over many projects. In addition, with Shen Yuntian's key training, he has long been regarded by the company as the future helmsman of Shen Real Estate.

Ponder for a moment,
Shen Yuntian shook his head.
"Second brother? Forget it! Although the second brother is very capable, he is still a little short of the maturity for such a big event as inviting Mr. Liang. Not to mention that there are so many big developers eyeing Mr. Liang."

"What do you mean?"

"Book me a flight to Yancheng tomorrow. To invite someone of Mr. Liang's stature, I have to go in person. And to be honest, even if I go, I'm not sure of anything. I'll need connections to see Mr. Liang."

Shen Yuntian tapped the desk with his fingers.

"Chairman, you said you were going to Yancheng tomorrow? When will you be back?"

Hearing Shen Yuntian so anxious, the secretary hesitated for a moment.

"Why? Any other plans?"

The secretary has been with Shen Yuntian for several years. Seeing his expression, Shen Yuntian knew something was wrong without even thinking.

"Chairman! It's like this. I received a call from the Su Corporation this afternoon."

The secretary replied in a low voice.

"Su Group? Why are they calling?"

Shen Yuntian frowned.
