Because he trusted Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun was a true talent. If he hadn't been, he wouldn't have become a titan of the financial world.
It was just that the Su family had dragged him down later.
Song Chuan didn't understand finance, nor did he want to.
All he needed to do was invest money in Zhou Xun and let him develop the business freely.
Soon, a notification popped up on his phone: Zhou Xun had transferred him 480,000 yuan.
The company was just starting out, so any incoming funds were welcome.
480,000 yuan was a substantial amount.
Song Chuan didn't forget the most important task: selling the gold as quickly as possible.
Watching Song Chuan engrossed in his phone, completely ignoring her plight, Zhu Suosuo was furious.
*The nerve of this guy, just abandoning me like this!*
*If he's not going to do anything, then... then I'll take care of myself...*
Bracing herself against Song Chuan's thighs, Zhu Suosuo began doing squats. With each downward movement, her expression grew more satisfied.
After successfully selling all the gold, Song Chuan exhaled deeply. *Phew, got out before the price dropped.*
But it was a risk he had to take.
His gold had earned him 1.82 million yuan.
Just a few hours ago at the banquet, it was only 1.81 million, but it had crept up to 1.82 million.
However, the price wasn't steadily rising.
After Song Chuan sold, the price had begun to fall slightly.
After all, this was due to policy changes.
The market was unstable.
With 1.82 million plus 480,000, Song Chuan now had a total of 2.3 million yuan.
Enough to set up a clinic in Jingbei and start raking in the money!
He decided to act immediately.
Opening his phone, he began searching for clinics for sale in the same city. Coincidentally, he found one for sale right at the foot of the Joyful Ode Community—right below his own building.
*Perfect!*
Song Chuan was practically ecstatic, even gasping in delight.
Being so close to home would make commuting a breeze.
When he inquired about the transfer price, his excitement only grew. The price was exactly what he could afford.
He arranged to meet with Boss Song that evening to discuss the details, then put down his phone.
He had calculated the timing perfectly.
It was only 8 PM.
When Song Chuan returned home, it was only nine o'clock, leaving him plenty of time to finalize the deal.
The retail space downstairs at the Joyful Ode Community was still highly sought after. Song Chuan wanted to secure it quickly to avoid any complications.
When he came to his senses, he realized Zhu Suosuo had already slumped against him.
"Brother Song Chuan, did your drinks leak?"
The hot spring water around them had turned a bright, orange-juice yellow.
In his hand, Song Chuan still held the half-finished can of orange soda. He touched his nose with his other hand and lied with his eyes wide open.
"Yes."
"Mom and Aunt Wenjie drank all the other drinks. I'll give you mine."
Yingzi swam over to Song Chuan and brought the lychee soda in her hand to his lips.
He couldn't refuse her kindness.
Song Chuan took a polite sip and quickly changed the subject, lest Yingzi notice something was amiss.
"Um... Yingzi..."
"What did your mom want to talk to you about earlier?"
"She just whispered something to me. She was too embarrassed to ask about your friend, so she asked me to ask you instead."
"A friend?"
Hearing that word, Song Chuan understood what was going on.
Whether it was the land or the Cullinan, he had used this non-existent friend as a shield.
It seemed Song Qian and the others were now genuinely interested in befriending him.
"I heard Aunt Wenjie and my dad say you have a friend who gave you the parking lot land and the luxury car."
"My mom wants you to invite this friend over. She wants to host a proper meal for them."
Song Chuan had to lie again. "Sure, no problem."
"I'll definitely have him come over when the opportunity arises."
"Mom was too embarrassed to ask you directly, fearing you might refuse, so she asked me to bring it up."
"I thought you'd find it awkward, too."
"I didn't expect you to agree so readily."
Yingzi's cheeks flushed slightly. "Brother Song Chuan, you're so kind."
He patted her head and coaxed her, "Alright, we should get out of the hot springs now."
"We've soaked long enough. Stay in too long and you'll end up limp and weak, just like Sister Suosuo."
