I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 260 - 258: Peiwei’s Sister

Chapter 260: Chapter 258: Peiwei’s Sister

At this moment, Shen Yuan was in his office replying to messages on WeChat.

Ji Ya had already completed her resignation and booked a ticket to Star City for tomorrow.

Her timing couldn’t be better, as Su Xuewei and Shen Yuan had scheduled a villa inspection the day after tomorrow. He could take Ji Ya along, so she could later handle the remaining handover tasks.

Since the villa wouldn’t be ready until next month at the earliest, Shen Yuan planned to have Ji Ya stay at Chen Na’s place for the time being.

They knew each other already and got along quite well. Staying with Chen Na could also help Ji Ya learn more about his preferences.

Perfect!

The team around him was beginning to take shape. With Fu Yingzi as his executive secretary and a gradually more effective management layer, NPCs were each taking charge of their respective departments. Moreover, when it was time to create public sentiment, there was Mo Zhenwang, the leader of the paid posters.

As for his personal life, he’d soon have his assistant in place. He seldom used a driver, but one was always on standby, and as for bodyguards…

He felt he wouldn’t need them unless he traveled abroad, considering he had a Skill Exchange Voucher from the System that could give him combat skills at any time.

As for nutritionists, personal doctors, nannies, and the like, he had all of those within his private team, although he never used them.

Only occasionally would Chen Na check out the diet plans posted in the group by the nutritionist, thinking of cooking herself for half a month before letting the nanny come over.

The main issue at present was the profit goal issued by the System: to increase Jingfu’s profits by 5% within three months.

The measures to increase profits had already been put into practice. It was mainly about the execution at the stores. In addition to self-monitoring by the stores and supervision from headquarters, Liew Menglu would also act as an inspector during her visits, so now all that was left was to wait for the profit reports.

His directions were surely correct. If the stores had strong execution, he could potentially achieve the goal in two months, rather than three.

The rewards for the task were twofold: a year-end bonus tripled and a fixed share of mystery industry stocks.

Compared to cashback, Shen Yuan was actually more excited about the shares of the mystery industry.

Given the System’s nature, the rewards were always escalating, so he was sure that the industry shares offered would be more substantial than those of Jingfu company.

“Knock, knock.”

While Shen Yuan was summing up his achievements and goals, there was once again a knock on the glass door.

“Come in.”

As soon as he spoke, Long Jinghan timidly pushed open the door.

Today she wore an off-white tank top, topped with a thin coat of the same color scheme, and loose shorts that revealed a large expanse of her creamy jade-like legs.

Long Jinghan didn’t like tying her hair into a ponytail, preferring to let her long hair drape naturally, and on the strands that fell beside it, her snow-white chest bore a Prada necklace Shen Yuan had bought for her.

Gently brushing her hair behind her ear, Long Jinghan carefully closed the glass door and then tentatively asked, “Shen Yuan, I heard from Leilei that I could accompany you tonight, is that right?”

Long Jinghan’s eyes held a mix of confusion and anticipation, and her expression also conveyed disbelief, as if such an opportunity shouldn’t have come her way.

Shen Yuan wanted to tease her, and with a frown, he asked, “Hmm? Did I say that?”

“Oh… I see…”

The hope in Long Jinghan’s eyes immediately dimmed, and with downcast eyes, she said, “Then perhaps Leilei heard wrong.”

Shen Yuan chuckled: “I’m just kidding with you. Why are you so easy to tease?”

Long Jinghan was momentarily stunned, then, realizing it was a joke, her face quickly turned from disappointment to joy. Her emotions had fluctuated so much in the span of a minute she didn’t quite know how to express herself.

Shen Yuan beckoned her: “Come here.”

Upon hearing Shen Yuan’s words, Long Jinghan obediently walked to his side.

However, she seemed a bit nervous, her gaze somewhat evasive, staring at the ground in silence.

If it had been Qiao Lei or Liew Menglu, by this time they would have either started massaging him or sat on his lap.

After all this time, why was Long Jinghan still so reserved…

But this shy coyness was precisely the type Shen Yuan liked.

Women, after all, were about the excitement of novelty; it wouldn’t be fun if they were all too similar.

“Haven’t had much time for you recently, you’re not upset with me, are you?” Shen Yuan asked softly.

Long Jinghan hurriedly shook her head: “Not at all.”

“And you don’t mind the threesome before, do you?” Shen Yuan probed further.

Long Jinghan shook her head even more vigorously: “Of course not.”

“You don’t mind this, and you don’t mind that, so what do you mind?”

Shen Yuan lifted his chin, sitting in the boss chair, surveying Long Jinghan’s delicate features, her rosy lips, her fair face, and a pair of seductive, foxy eyes.

“I don’t mind anything; I’m happy as long as you spend time with me when you can,” she replied softly.

Shen Yuan sighed. Ironically, Long Jinghan had chosen the one thing that was hardest for him to give: time. Unless one day all the NPCs lived in one villa, where would he find so much time?

To meet her needs, Shen Yuan could only satisfy her that evening, to the extent that she wouldn’t want to eat anything for a whole week.

“Then let’s go, let’s have dinner first,” Shen Yuan said as he stood up.

“Okay, let me grab my bag.”

Long Jinghan followed Shen Yuan out, first stopping by her desk to pick up a white bag, then hurrying back to him.

Qiao Lei watched their departing figures, feeling both envious and regretful: envious that Jinghan could be with Shen Yuan and regretful that she had quarreled with Liew Menglu that afternoon.

Hmph, it was all that Liew Menglu’s fault! What kind of person was she!

Liew Menglu was similarly sour. Originally, if it were not for the spat with Qiao Lei, Shen Yuan would have surely been hers tonight. Instead, she got into trouble with Qiao Lei, that harbinger of bad luck.

What a sin!

Just like the proverbial snipe and clam, Long Jinghan probably hadn’t expected to win the “fruits of victory” effortlessly between the two, this feeling was like finding money on the ground, an absolutely unexpected delight.

Shen Yuan and Long Jinghan had just reached the entrance of the company when suddenly the receptionist came over, bowing her head respectfully and said, “Mr. Shen, there are two ladies looking for you over there.”

“Where are they?”

“Over there.”

Shen Yuan followed the receptionist’s gaze, one was Luo Bingying, with her tall figure and cool demeanor, and the other turned out to be Zhou Peiwei, the dangerous girl from the exchange meeting that day.

Do they know each other?

When Shen Yuan noticed them, they also saw Shen Yuan leading a girl out.

Zhou Peiwei lowered her voice and said, “Bingying, is the girl you met last time this one?”

Luo Bingying shook her head expressionlessly, “Not this one.”

“Ah?”

Zhou Peiwei was quite surprised, “Then that’s the third one already.”

“Mmm.”

A hint of sadness flickered in Luo Bingying’s eyes, and also a barely noticeable anger; seeing someone three times, each time with a different girl, had Shen Yuan sunk to this level?

Zhou Peiwei felt a bit emotional, “No wonder he’s not interested in my sister, this girl is indeed prettier than my sister, the other two must be not bad either, right?”

Luo Bingying said helplessly, “You’re focusing on the strangest things, aren’t you supposed to condemn him for being a scumbag?”

“What’s there to condemn?”

Zhou Peiwei blinked her dark eyes, “He’s not related to me, I’m not looking for a boyfriend in him, I don’t care how many boats he’s stepping on outside.”

Luo Bingying shook her head, her friend could sometimes be naive, yet at other times quite astute.

But thinking about it, she found herself inexplicably puzzled.

Her visit today was just to invite him for a meal as thanks for the yoga studio, how many partners he had was none of her business, right? Did she really need to be jealous of this?

Shen Yuan came over and sized up Luo Bingying, “Something the matter?”

Luo Bingying gave a polite smile, “I asked you out last time, but you said you were busy, so I came over at this time to see if I could catch you, are you free today?”

“Not free today.”

Shen Yuan was indeed busy, he was about to go eat with Long Jinghan, it wasn’t easy to accompany Hanhan, and he didn’t want to be delayed by other unimportant people.

“How about tomorrow?”

Luo Bingying continued, “If not in the evening, lunchtime is also fine.”

Shen Yuan still shook his head, “We’ll see when the time comes, I’ll tell you if I’m free.”

Luo Bingying knew that was a polite refusal, any response that didn’t provide a precise time, like the “I’ll let you know if I’m free,” was clearly just a brush-off.

Zhou Peiwei piped up from the side, “Shen Yuan, do you still remember me?”

Shen Yuan smiled, “I remember, Shu Baoping’s cousin, Peiwei, right?”

“Don’t call me ‘little sister’ already, I’m actually a month older than you.”

Zhou Peiwei protested, being a Star City native she had the accent when speaking Mandarin, but it sounded quite cute.

“I’m friends with your sister, and since you’re her sister, doesn’t that mean you should call me ‘brother’? So it’s not too much if I call you ‘little sister’, right?”

Shen Yuan argued logically.

Zhou Peiwei was stunned, not catching on at all, “Wait, say that slower, how did I become your ‘little sister’?”

Shen Yuan laughed, “Being called ‘little sister’ is nice, it makes you seem younger.”

Zhou Peiwei couldn’t figure it out no matter how long she thought and eventually gave up. Stirred by Luo Bingying, she finally remembered what she wanted to say initially with an “oh, oh oh.”

“Hold on, let’s not talk about this.”

“Actually, Bingying and I have been here for a while; she just wants to find an opportunity to thank you. If you’re free someday, could you do us the honor of joining us for a meal?”

Zhou Peiwei blinked her beautiful eyes, her oval face puffing up looked naturally oblivious, combined with her extremely puffy Xuezi, Shen Yuan was softened for a moment.

He then turned to look at Luo Bingying, who still had no particular expression on her face, but there was also a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes.

In the end, Shen Yuan looked back at Zhou Peiwei, “So, will you go?”

“Ah? Me?”

Zhou Peiwei was shocked; wasn’t it Bingying who was inviting you to a meal? Why would I go?

Luo Bingying was also perplexed, not understanding Shen Yuan’s intention. Clearly, it was I who invited you for a meal; why are you asking if Weiwei will go?

Am I now not even comparable to a girl you’ve just met?

A sense of inexplicable disappointment arose in her heart. Although it was her who initiated the breakup, it was considering the instability of a long-distance relationship and feelings, after all…

“Just kidding.”

Shen Yuan laughed, then said, “I’ll see how it goes, I definitely won’t be free for the next few days, if I’m free next week, I’ll contact you in advance.”

“Ah, oh, okay.”

Luo Bingying snapped back to reality. Although Shen Yuan still hadn’t given a precise time, it was a lot more sincere than his earlier attitude.

Then Shen Yuan left with Long Jinghan, while Luo Bingying still stared at the backs of the two, lost in thought.

Zhou Peiwei looked on, somewhat puzzled, “Yingying, you don’t still like him, do you?”

Luo Bingying remained silent. She wasn’t sure either. This emotion was strange; she had felt nothing at the outset, but ever since that day at the sunset camp, she kept thinking of him for no reason.

She wasn’t certain if this was liking him. Psychology explains that when one goes through a major life event, there is a feeling of helplessness, a pessimism about the future, and a tendency to recall the good old times.

Luo Bingying thought of Shen Yuan as those good old times, but that was as far as it could go—after all, now he was nicer to a woman he hardly knew than to her.
