7: The purpose of a scumbag is to awaken the sycophants.

Liu Jiwei's words immediately jogged everyone's memory. Shen Qian really had been quite cringe recently, confessing his love everywhere. It was said he even snuck into other classes' groups to add people and confess, having long since become a massive laughingstock.

However, his shameless behavior of confessing everywhere gave the others present room for imagination.

"Do you think... he found a sugar mommy?"

Having so much money in such a short time, combined with the fact that Shen Qian was somewhat handsome, the only thing they could think of was him finding a sugar mommy.

"It's possible!"

"What do you mean possible? It's a fact!"

Liu Jiwei immediately got excited.

"He saw me and Su Man at the BBQ stall that day, felt humiliated, and started confessing like crazy. After he was exposed, he just acted recklessly. I never expected this Shen Qian, who looks so honest, to be this kind of person. So what if he got into university? He's morally bankrupt and shameful!"

Su Man remained silent. Whether Shen Qian found a sugar mommy or used other methods, the reality was that he was driving a bmw.

In today's society, adults only look at results, not the process. Even if he used some questionable means, the fact was that Shen Qian was doing well.

Despite Liu Jiwei's self-righteous tone, he was actually just jealous.

However, jealousy is contagious. After Liu Jiwei finished speaking, the others followed suit, cursing like a relay race.

On the other side, Shen Qian was driving, slowly getting used to the car on the street. This was his first time driving since getting his license, so he was inevitably a bit excited. The air conditioning was set very low and the cooling effect was excellent; if he hadn't sneezed several times in a row, he wouldn't have turned it up.

"System, use the cashback card and the reimbursement card. Stack them."

[reimbursement card used. 200,000 yuan reimbursed.]

[cashback card used. 200,000 yuan spent, triggering a 5x cashback. 1,000,000 yuan returned.]

In the car, Shen Qian couldn't keep the corners of his mouth from curling up. He had spent a total of 220,000 on this car, got 200,000 reimbursed, and received 1,000,000 in cashback. It was equivalent to getting a car for free and making 1.18 million.

When Old Shen saw Shen Qian's bmw, he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"This... was also earned from stocks?"

"That's right, Dad. Didn't I make tens of thousands last time? With more capital, the returns naturally got higher. This time I made a full 300,000. I spent 200,000 on the car and kept the remaining 100,000 for the family. Now you can finally let Mom come back, right?"

"I've seen you busy lately, but I didn't know what you were up to. How did this suddenly..."

"Dad, you must keep the fact that I can make big money a secret. Don't flaunt wealth. That big shot said he'd help me at most, but if more people find out, he won't take me along anymore."

"Then you must invite him to our home for a meal when you have the chance."

"We communicate online. For people like him, transactions worth millions happen every minute; he doesn't have the time. But don't worry, if there's a chance, I'll definitely repay him properly."

"Good, good. Son, now that you're successful, I can rest easy."

"Later, we'll buy a storefront and open a small convenience store. You guys can just enjoy life comfortably."

As Shen Qian spoke, he transferred another 100,000 yuan to his father. With the system in hand, he wouldn't be short of money in the future. Letting his parents accept it bit by bit like this was for the best.

"There are still a few days before school starts. I'll drive you to Shanghai and take you and Mom around for a few days before sending you back."

Father Shen wiped his tears in excitement and nodded repeatedly, then immediately pulled out his phone to call Mother Shen in Shanghai.

In the evening, Shen Qian drove Lu Jiawang around the city.

"If only I had gotten my license, I'd drive a few laps too!"

He was dying of envy. For a boy this age, never mind a bmw, even if it was a beat-up car, as long as it could move, they'd want to drive it.

"I'm going to post on my Moments to flex a bit."

Lu Jiawang took a photo of Shen Qian in the driver's seat, then changed the angle to include both himself and Shen Qian.

"Posting photos to flex? That doesn't sound like you."

"Those guys who can't reach the grapes and say they're sour claim you bought the car by finding a sugar mommy. I'm posting this to piss them off."

"You don't suspect I found a sugar mommy?"

"Forget the fact that you're not that kind of person, even if you were, so what? The language of the steel wool ball is 'endurance and wealth.' Most people couldn't even handle that."

"Relax, I didn't find a sugar mommy. If I ever meet one, I'll introduce her to you. Clearly, you've already mastered the language of the steel wool ball."

"Screw you."

The two laughed and cursed as Shen Qian drove further and further away.

"Wait, where are we going?"

"To the city."

"The city? That's over 100 kilometers away! What for?"

"We've pretty much visited all the foot massage places in the county lately. There are only a few good-looking ones, and I'm already bored of them."

"No way... just for a foot wash, you're driving over 100 kilometers?"

"Not going? If not, get out of the car."

"Don't, Godfather! Don't!"

Since they couldn't take the highway, they drove the 100-plus kilometers for a full two hours. It was already past nine by the time they reached the city.

After finding a restaurant and eating their fill, the two headed straight for a foot bath shop. All foot bath shops, big or small, seemed to have the same problem: as long as they saw someone young, they would try to find a way to scam them.

"Change these two."

Lu Jiawang waved his hand, signaling the technicians who had just entered the private room to leave.

"Not bad, you've graduated!"

Shen Qian was very pleased with his brother's change.

"With our frequency of getting foot washes every three days, if I didn't graduate, the skin on my feet would have been scrubbed raw by now."

"So, are you still in contact with that girl you were chasing?"

"Don't even mention it. She's so hypocritical—accepting your favors while refusing to date you, yet always ordering you around as if she were your girlfriend."

I did what you said. When she asked for things, I refused a few times, and she said I was being cringe, as if I owed her.

Damn it, if anyone tells me now that girls need to be chased and coaxed, I'll take off my shoe and give them a good thwack. Until the Turtle men are dead, my heart will not be at peace."

[You have successfully nipped a simp in the bud and purified the market environment. This behavior meets the standards of a scumbag. Reward being issued...]

Twenty thousand yuan. Shen Qian narrowed his eyes slightly. Was awakening a simp actually this profitable?

But come to think of it, awakening a simp was quite expensive. He had spent three or four thousand on foot washes lately. If it was Lu Jiawang, he didn't mind the expense, but as for others, what did it matter to him whether they were simps or not?
