Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested

Su Mengyao and Tu Tutu’s over-the-top reactions actually made Yun Zijin feel a little embarrassed.

"It’s not that big of a deal. I just got lucky."

"This is no exaggeration. No matter what, the first person to try something new—the trailblazer—is always the most impressive.

The fact that you secured the permit proves you’re more than qualified. That’s a credential countless people want but can never obtain."

Every time she remembered this was her best friend, Su Mengyao felt a swell of pride by association.

’Ugh, but Yun Zijin was doing so well it was starting to make me feel like a total slacker in comparison.’

Sure, she had ridden Yun Zijin’s coattails to open Huan Yan Fang, but compared to Zijin’s estate, it was completely overshadowed.

Sometimes, Su Mengyao really wanted to ask Yun Zijin just how in the world she managed to do it all.

But she also knew it was better not to be too curious about such things.

Yun Zijin simply smiled at Su Mengyao’s words. The truth was, besides her, it was unlikely anyone could ever replicate her success.

So even if they knew the reason, all they could do was stare in helpless frustration.

They wouldn’t even be able to manage the security system, let alone everything else.

A large part of the reason Yun Zijin dared to make such bold claims was because she had Mei Lin and seven highly skilled bodyguards backing her up.

With their support, she could build a laboratory far superior to what Tang Zhaosong, Yan Shutang, and the others expected.

Even so, Yun Zijin had no intention of revealing all her cards.

No one, aside from those present that day, would ever know the details about the laboratory.

However, the topic soon changed. When a few young women got together, the conversation inevitably turned to skincare, makeup, and handbags.

Just as the four of them were getting into the swing of the conversation, Su Mengyao abruptly fell silent. She stared at something behind Yun Zijin and stood up, her expression tense.

"Old Madam Lu, Mrs. Huo, and... and Mrs. Lu! H-hello!"

Su Mengyao never imagined she’d meet three such prominent figures all at once in her entire life.

"Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous. We just came over to have a look. You’re all Zijin’s friends, aren’t you? Come on, come on, let’s all chat together."

Fang Shuxin was the most vivacious of the three. Seeing Su Mengyao’s tense expression, her first words were comforting, and her tone was completely devoid of the usual airs of an elder.

If you weren’t looking at her, you might have mistaken her for one of their peers.

Xu Suhua and the other two found seats for themselves, looking as if they genuinely wanted to join Yun Zijin and her friends for a chat.

Aside from Yun Zijin, Su Mengyao and the other two friends were visibly nervous. After all, these weren’t the matrons of just any wealthy family.

"Oh, you must be the Su Family’s youngest daughter, aren’t you? I heard you opened Huan Yan Fang, specializing in Rose Essential Oil.

So many people I know have recommended it, but whenever the maids from my house go to the shop, it’s always closed. I wonder what’s going on with that."

Fang Shuxin loved to travel and was often away from Dijing, so she was frequently behind on the latest news.

She didn’t even know that the person who provided the formula for this Rose Essential Oil was Yun Zijin.

Xu Suhua and Huo Yue Lan, on the other hand, knew the truth. Their supply came directly from Yun Zijin, so they’d never needed to buy from Huan Yan Fang. But since it was a long-term arrangement, they both paid Yun Zijin for it at Huan Yan Fang’s prices.

Sure enough, hearing Fang Shuxin ask about the Rose Essential Oil, Su Mengyao instinctively glanced at Yun Zijin.

’This is your boyfriend’s grandmother. How can she not even know you’re the one who gave me the Rose Essential Oil formula?’

Yun Zijin was stunned as well. She clearly remembered having someone deliver Rose Essential Oil to Fang Shuxin, the kind woman who had been her landlord.

"Grandma Fang, you’ve never used the Rose Essential Oil?"

Fang Shuxin shook her head, looking pitifully at Yun Zijin. "I’ve never managed to buy any."

’If not for that, I wouldn’t have been so subtly one-upped by that Xu Suhua today.’

"I had some delivered to the Huo Family’s Old Mansion. You never knew?"

Yun Zijin’s brow furrowed slightly. ’If that’s the case, could there be something fishy going on?’

Hearing Yun Zijin’s words, Fang Shuxin’s expression darkened. ’Could someone at the old mansion be lining their own pockets?’

"Really?"

"Of course. I could forget anyone else, but never you."

Fang Shuxin had been a great benefactor to Yun Zijin.

Before she received "Randomly Spend," the apartment Yun Zijin rented belonged to Fang Shuxin.

In terms of both location and decor, the apartment was an absolute dream for Yun Zijin, who was just a company intern at the time.

Seeing that she was just a recent graduate, Fang Shuxin had given her a very generous discount on the rent and only required a one-month deposit and the first month’s rent upfront.

Ordinarily, an apartment like the one Yun Zijin had rented would have people fighting over it, even with a three-month deposit, three months’ rent paid in advance, and a monthly rent of over ten thousand.

"Hmph! It looks like someone doesn’t want their job anymore. Just you wait until I get back!"

The thought of having missed out on the Rose Essential Oil for so long made Fang Shuxin’s blood boil. What was this nonsense? How dare these people steal from an old woman like her.

"You should probably ask first, just in case it’s a misunderstanding."

It wasn’t impossible. After all, Fang Shuxin was getting on in years and couldn’t use just anything. Perhaps the servants, fearing something might go wrong, had decided not to give her the Rose Essential Oil that Yun Zijin sent.

If something had happened, everyone who had handled the Rose Essential Oil would have been held responsible.

But since nothing was certain yet, Yun Zijin didn’t press the matter.

Fang Shuxin waved her hand dismissively. She, of course, knew how to handle it.

She wouldn’t wrongly accuse an innocent person, but she would never let anyone who exploited an information gap to cheat her out of her things get away with it.

Yun Zijin had only offered a word of caution. The final decision on how to proceed was up to Fang Shuxin.

The arrival of Fang Shuxin and the other two elders had initially made Su Mengyao and her friends very reserved. However, the three older women deliberately put on an approachable air, and soon enough, the two groups were getting along famously.

Just then, Situ Yunliang approached them, all by herself.

Huo Yue Lan was the first to spot Situ Yunliang. She’d heard a thing or two about the relationship between her and Yun Zijin.

When she first found out, she’d even commented that it was like a melodramatic soap opera playing out in real life.

As for Yun Zijin’s choices, Huo Yue Lan had no intention of interfering, even though she was her prospective mother-in-law.

This held true even though Situ Yunliang was the beloved, doted-on princess of the Situ Family from France.

"Zijin, I need to talk to you. Can you step outside for a moment?"

Situ Yunliang’s tone was cautious and timid. ’If Situ Wenze were here,’ Yun Zijin thought, ’he’d probably start accusing me of being unreasonable again.

But Situ Wenze never seemed to consider that, by blood, I’m just as much a part of the Situ Family.

In terms of age, I’m much younger than Situ Yunliang.

And in terms of what happened, Situ Yunliang, the one who’d abandoned me at an orphanage, was hardly innocent.’

"What is it?"

For her own safety, Yun Zijin had no desire to meet with Situ Yunliang alone.

If something were to happen, she’d be the one left holding the bag.

"Can we find a private place to talk?"

Situ Yunliang glanced at the others, clearly not wanting anyone else to overhear.
