I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 223 - 222: Do You Like the Innocent Girl You Fancy?

Shen Yuan didn’t tell any NPCs about his return time, fearing that his harem would create surprises for him.

Now Shen Yuan was truly scared of surprises because every single one they concocted was a fright.

However, Chen Xinyu mentioned the return trip to Younger Sister Xuan, so Younger Sister Xuan suggested picking him up at the airport.

Since Liew Menglu often chatted with Younger Sister Xuan, she also learned of this and proposed to join Younger Sister Xuan in picking him up.

At 6 in the evening, the plane landed at Huanghua Airport, where Shen Xuan and Liew Menglu had already appeared at the VIP channel.

Liew Menglu wore a white printed T-shirt today, with a denim A-line skirt below, generously revealing her fair legs, and on her feet, she paired white sneakers with long white socks.

Shen Yuan rarely saw Coach Liew dressed like this; she usually wore either workout clothes or dresses.

Or QQ.....

Liew Menglu eagerly tiptoed and waved her right hand rapidly, her face brimming with a satisfied smile, "Shen Yuan!"

She originally wanted to shout "Hubby," but with so many people at the airport, especially with Nana and her sister present, she had to refrain.

Shen Yuan waved back in response, while Shen Xuan seemed not to notice him, instead greeting Chen Na and Chen Xinyu.

"Sister-in-law, Xinyu, you two are finally back~"

The three golden flowers reunited after a long separation, walking arm in arm as if they had endless things to talk about.

Shen Yuan glanced at Shen Xuan, thinking to himself who exactly was her real brother.

Liew Menglu intentionally fell a step behind, tiptoeing to whisper in Shen Yuan’s ear, "Hubby, I’ve missed you so much it hurts."

A ticklish, enchanting voice crept into Shen Yuan’s ear, causing him to give Liew Menglu a glance, "You flirt."

"Only flirting with you, haha."

Liew Menglu pulled her ponytail over to the front, "I specially tied a ponytail and dressed in pure clothes today, do I look like the innocent high school girl you like?"

"Not really."

Shen Yuan shook his head, "You look like a 30-year-old auntie trying to act young."

"But I’m only 26."

"Round it off and that’s 30."

"That’s wrong, rounded off it’s 20."

"You’re pretty good at math," Shen Yuan said with a mock smile.

"Let me tell you."

Liew Menglu counted on her fingers as she spoke, "During the week you were gone, the company’s improvement measures have been going not too badly, there’s a clear enhancement in service awareness in the stores, and the enthusiasm for follow-up callbacks has also increased.

The only thing is online lead generation, because we just rolled out new short videos these past few days, so the results aren’t clear yet."

"Hmm, good."

Shen Yuan nodded. He wasn’t too surprised by the results; as long as the store’s execution was in place, the improvement measures would certainly be effective.

This was also due to making an example out of Jia Nanshou; without this cautionary tale, although they would have executed the plans, how efficiently they would have done it was another question.

"So, am I, Consultant Liew, worthy of a reward?" Liew Menglu asked, looking for some recognition.

"A reward, of course."

Just as Shen Yuan was about to discuss the reward, Yu Jifeng’s call came in. Shen Yuan pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

"Hello, Mr. Shen, regarding the matter you asked me to look into last time, I have some results," Yu Jifeng’s voice came through the phone.

"Go ahead."

"Everyone I’ve asked are former colleagues and friends from within the industry, but the information might not be comprehensive. The International campus is currently in touch with a health check institution in Star City, and another institution in Zhu City has also submitted a quote. These are the two I know of so far."

Yu Jifeng’s voice sounded somewhat grave, "Mr. Shen, I think we need to take some measures, otherwise this deal is very likely to fall through."

Old Xu, this son of a bitch, really can’t be trusted...

Shen Yuan frowned and mulled over for a while before saying, "On your end, act as if you’re unaware and interact normally with Old Xu, then send me the information on those two health check institutions."

"Understood, Mr. Shen."

"That will do for now."

After hanging up, Liew Menglu noticed Shen Yuan’s expression seemed off and so she asked, "What’s wrong, Shen Yuan?"

Without hesitation, Shen Yuan responded, "An old rascal is trying to betray me after crossing the bridge."

"Which old rascal?" Liew Menglu pressed on.

"You don’t know him, it’s related to the health check center."

Shen Yuan stroked his chin, "But if this old rascal wants to betray me after crossing the bridge, he ought to weigh my influence properly. Does he really think I’m such an easy target to squeeze?"

"Shen Yuan, smash him!"

Liew Menglu raised her fist in support, cheering Shen Yuan on.

Shen Yuan cursed, "Damn it, he’s not a woman!"

"Then overturn him!"

"..."

Liew Menglu started her Porsche 911, which only had seating for four, and driver Old Lu had also come to pick them up in an Alphard.

Choosing between riding in the Alphard with Chen Na or Liew Menglu’s 911, Shen Yuan felt a bit conflicted.

At that moment, Chen Na spoke up, "Shen Yuan, why don’t you drive Lulu’s 911 back? I know you haven’t been driving for a while, you must want to enjoy it."

Nana is considerate as always... Shen Yuan smiled and replied, "I could do that."

"We’ll be off then, Nana."

Liew Menglu waved with a smile, seemingly unbothered on the surface, yet deep down she was irked—Shen Yuan hadn’t said a word, what was she doing butting in?

Former best friends had long since become estranged, now barely able to tolerate each other.

Chen Na’s words weren’t intended to push Shen Yuan onto Liew Menglu; she simply wanted to spare him discomfort.

Once the other three had climbed into the Alphard, Liew Menglu immediately took Shen Yuan’s arm, "Are you driving, Shen Yuan?"

"You drive, I still have some things to sort out."

As Shen Yuan said this, he settled into the passenger seat of the 911, immediately feeling how cramped the space was.

Normally driving a Benz G-Class, and lately riding in an Alphard, sitting in a sports car now really didn’t feel quite right.

Liew Menglu drove even more aggressively than Shen Yuan, stepping hard on the gas pedal, instantly feeling a push against her back, Shen Yuan instinctively leaned back.

"Take it easy."

"Hahaha, okay, okay."

Liew Menglu laughed and obediently slowed down.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan dialed Lih Xiao’s number, "Hey, Teacher Lih, what are you up to?"

"In the office, getting ready for a meeting. What’s up?" Lih Xiao whispered back.

"About that thing I mentioned last time, there’s been a development, and I need your help."

"Sure, tell me."

"During the meeting you’re about to have, will the principal be there?"

"He usually doesn’t attend, but this time it’s a big meeting on safety education, and he needs to make a speech, so he’ll be there."

"Okay, then do this...."

After speaking with Teacher Lih, Shen Yuan hung up the phone, and Liew Menglu glanced at him, "Shen Yuan, you’re up to no good again, aren’t you? That expression of yours always means you’re up to something."

"Huh? Do I have an expression?"

Shen Yuan thought he was poker-faced.

"Yes, the corners of your mouth turning up slightly."

"No way."

Shen Yuan shrugged, "That Old Xu is just the deputy, I need to deal directly with the principal now. If I can build a relationship with the principal, I won’t have to work around him anymore."

"Are you confident you can do that?" Liew Menglu asked.

"Hard to say, but worth a try."

Lih Xiao was just a counselor plus an ordinary teacher, apart from participating more in various project groups, he was not much different from other teachers.

Logically, such a teacher wouldn’t leave a memorable impression on a principal, but Shen Yuan only had this connection to work with, so he had to try regardless.

The business at the physical examination center currently came from individuals and small to medium-sized enterprises. Having the basis of a major university’s physical examination project would make expansion into other schools’ markets much more efficient, and Shen Yuan was keen to land this project.

Since Xu Shoutai did not keep his promise, Shen Yuan was no longer inclined to show him any respect.

"But by doing this, aren’t you offending the deputy?" Liew Menglu asked again.

"So be it if I offend him. After all, he’s just a deputy. As long as I have a good relationship with the principal, I won’t be afraid of him causing me trouble."

Shen Yuan stroked his chin, "It’s a good opportunity to get in touch with the principal. Although our university is just an ordinary second-tier college, we still have many alumni working within the system, in state-owned enterprises, or running their own businesses. These are all social resources that the principal can integrate."

"I don’t quite get it."

Liew Menglu seemed perplexed; she wasn’t versed in management and didn’t understand this "relationship theory" or "resource integration."

Shen Yuan just smiled, "It’s okay not to understand, it’s not really meant for you to understand, anyway."

Liew Menglu was even more confused, "Huh? Then who are you talking to? There’s no third person here."

Shen Yuan didn’t answer, in fact, he was clarifying his own goals.

According to his plan, he had wanted to establish cooperation on the physical examination project with International campus, and then connect with Principal Yang through Xu Shoutai.

However, due to the disruption from Xu Shoutai, he was forced to revise his plans ahead of schedule.

...

International campus, large conference room.

Lih Xiao was sitting among the faculty, listening absent-mindedly to a school leader’s speech about the "International campus summer safety education meeting."

"Everyone must firmly establish a safety-first mindset, encourage and inform students as well as their parents, ensuring the students have a fruitful, growth-oriented, safe, and meaningful holiday..."

The school leader’s speech was a uniform refrain, and Lih Xiao’s mind was elsewhere, her palms sweating with nerves at the thought of the favor Shen Yuan had asked of her.

"Next, I’d like to ask Principal Yang Hongjin to give us some guidance and make a speech..."

Yang Hongjin, thin in build and around 50 years old, wore silver-framed glasses. He tapped the microphone and slowly began, "Safety is no small matter, with a responsibility greater than the heavens. The summer holidays have always been..."

Taking a deep breath, Lih Xiao picked up her phone and stood up, and at this moment the deputy head of the youth league committee, Lui Zhaojiang, quietly asked, "Teacher Lih, what are you doing?"

"Taking a call," Lih Xiao replied.

"What call can’t wait until after the meeting? The principal is speaking right now..."

Before Old Lui could finish speaking, Lih Xiao was already walking forward, holding her phone to her ear and simultaneously heading for the door.

"Hello, Shen Yuan?"

"No, no, the school still has to thank you for your generous donation of ten million yuan. Without your investment, there wouldn’t be any startup hub..."

Lih Xiao’s voice was not quiet, even interrupting Yang Hongjin’s speech. As she exited the room, all the teaching staff in the conference room heard her words clearly.

Everyone was curious as to who was so inconsiderate as to answer a call during the principal’s speech, speaking so loudly at that.

For a moment, the gazes of the teaching staff in the conference room turned toward the door, and Yang Hongjin too adjusted his glasses and glanced over, noticing a female teacher on the phone.

He pondered for a long while, then turned to the two vice principals sitting beside him, "The Teacher Lih just mentioned Shen Yuan, that’s the student who invested in the startup hub, right?"

"Yes," responded Xu Shoutai from the right, without going into detail.

There was another female vice principal to Yang Hongjin’s left, who explained with a smile, "Shen Yuan is a junior this year, moving up to senior after the summer. He’s a student of the International Trade major and has made quite a lot of money in foreign trade and the financial markets. And look, he even invested ten million yuan to give back to the school..."
