Stand-in Exit, Tycoon Boss Anxious Crazy-Chapter 68 – Her sugar daddy
"Ah, what a pleasure to meet you!"
Zhao Chenggang extended his hand for a handshake. "I'm Nuan-Nuan's father. I've heard so much about President Shen, but never had the chance to meet you! What a coincidence to see you today."
Zhao Chenggang had decided to find Xiang-Nuan after seeing news about her getting involved with a wealthy family.
He had done his research; the Shen family was one of the top elite families in Peking City—wealthy, powerful, and untouchable!
Upon learning this, his eyes turned red with excitement. He had been wandering outside for years, living in poverty, always at the bottom of society. He never imagined his daughter could climb so high. Wouldn't he rise along with her?
Seeing Zhao Chenggang's eager expression, Shen Yanshi paused for a moment before extending his hand for a handshake.
Xiang-Nuan's eyes widened in shock. He actually extended his hand?
Countless people tried to curry favor with Shen Yanshi, but he rarely gave anyone the time of day. Even Qin Zhanghui had tried multiple times to meet him without success.
For someone like Zhao Chenggang, a lowlife thug, Shen Yanshi shouldn't even spare a glance.
Zhao Chenggang shook Shen Yanshi's hand excitedly. "Thank you, President Shen, for taking care of our Nuan-Nuan. It's because of someone as noble as you that she has what she has today!"
Xiang-Nuan's face burned with embarrassment. Zhao Chenggang's fawning behavior felt like it was trampling her last bit of dignity into the mud.
Shen Yanshi interrupted his flattery. "Do you need something from her?"

Zhao Chenggang immediately put on a pitiful face. "I've been losing money in business lately, and I'm short on cash. I came to borrow some money from Nuan-Nuan to tide me over, but this heartless girl wouldn't give me a cent. Can you believe it? I'm afraid her stubbornness will offend you, President Shen..."
"How much do you need?" Shen Yanshi asked.
Xiang-Nuan immediately shouted, "Don't give him anything!"
Shen Yanshi shot her a cold glance, then looked back at Zhao Chenggang, waiting for his answer.
Zhao Chenggang's eyes lit up. He thought it would take a lot more effort, but Shen Yanshi was surprisingly easy to talk to!
"At least... at least a hundred thousand."
Zhao Chenggang explained, "You know how business is, President Shen. Sometimes you suddenly run into losses, and there's nothing you can do."
Shen Yanshi took out his wallet and pulled out a card. "There's two hundred thousand on this."
Zhao Chenggang eagerly took it, thanking him profusely. "President Shen, you're so generous! No wonder you're a nobleman from a wealthy family. Thank you, thank you! Our Nuan-Nuan really found the right person!"
"This ungrateful girl wouldn't give me a penny the first time I asked her for money. But President Shen, you're so generous and kind. It's her good fortune to be with someone like you!"
In his heart, he regretted not asking for more earlier, seeing how easy it was.
Shen Yanshi said coldly, "Take the money and don't bother her or her mother again."
"Of course, of course! Don't worry! I'm busy with my business too, no time to spare."
Zhao Chenggang laughed heartily, putting the card into his pocket.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going. Don't want to disturb President Shen any longer."
After another round of profuse thanks, Zhao Chenggang finally left, satisfied.
Xiang-Nuan pulled her hand away, furious. "Why did you give him money?"
Shen Yanshi put away his wallet and said calmly, "Would you rather he stay here and waste time, or go in and threaten your mother?"
"But if you give him money once, there will be a next time. He gambles; he has no real business. He'll come back once he loses all the money!"
"He'll come to me, not you. What are you worried about?"
Xiang-Nuan choked, feeling a lump in her throat that wouldn't go up or down.
"Are you hurt?" Shen Yanshi asked her.

She replied sullenly, "No."
"Then let's go eat."
Shen Yanshi pulled her into the car.
Xiang-Nuan wanted to pull away, but thinking about how Zhao Chenggang was now entangled with Shen Yanshi, she realized it would be a lot of trouble. She had to resolve it.
In the car, Xiang-Nuan said seriously, "His appetite will only grow. Now that he knows you have money and are willing to give it, next time he might ask for two million, and then twenty million. He'll cling to you, and you won't be able to shake him off. He might come back in less than a month."
Shen Yanshi steered the car into traffic with one hand.
The sky was already dark. Peking City's night was vibrant with neon lights, casting shadows on his handsome face.
He spoke calmly, "Giving him this two hundred thousand buys us at least a month to come up with a plan. Otherwise, do you really want him to rush in and worsen your mother's condition? Or spread rumors that you abandoned your father, ruining your career?"
