I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 224 - 223: Honey, Do You Know How I Survived This Week?

"He also has multiple honors from the school, but Principal Xu, you should be more aware of these than I am," the female principal said with a smile, then turned to look at Xu Shoutai.

Xu Shoutai originally did not want to speak, but at this point, he had no choice but to say, "Shen Yuan had been named one of the top three students and one of the top ten college students in the school; moreover, he had been nominated as the outstanding college student of Star City."

Because of the investment in the entrepreneurship base, Yang Hongjin had already been impressed with Shen Yuan, so now hearing what the two vice principals said, his image of Shen Yuan became even more vivid in his mind.

Capable, wealthy, generous, willing to contribute to the school’s projects.

Yang Hongjin said with admiration, "The school sends out so many graduates each year, but very few come back like this. We should also help such students grow quickly, so that the International campus can add yet another impressive figure in the business world."

"Principal Yang is right. I only considered the school’s honors, but I really didn’t think about it from this perspective," Xu Shoutai added quickly, attempting to offer a compliment, knowing that the situation had slightly deviated from expectations.

Yang Hongjin did not continue the topic, and at this moment, Lih Xiao entered with an apologetic expression, "I’m sorry, leaders. There was an emergency with a student just now, so I had to answer the phone before reporting. I am really sorry."

Yang Hongjin waved his hand and said smilingly, "If a student seeks you out as their first contact in an emergency, that shows how much weight you carry in their hearts. I see that Classmate Shen is so successful, and you certainly have a part in that success."

This was the first time Lih Xiao had a direct conversation with the school leaders, and he was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He laughed awkwardly:

"Actually, I haven’t done much, just fulfilling the duties of a teacher. He is truly excellent. Apart from investing in the entrepreneurship base, he has also recently acquired a healthcare management company,"

"So, Classmate Shen has started his own company," Yang Hongjin nodded with satisfaction.

"I heard from Shen Yuan that the company’s business coverage is not very broad, so it urgently needs to expand. He said he is very grateful for Vice Principal Xu’s support. It was Vice Principal Xu who introduced the school’s physical examination program to Shen Yuan," Lih Xiao said, his fingers trembling slightly after finishing.

Corporate livestock is corporate livestock, suddenly jumping several levels to speak directly with the highest leadership of the school, he was incredibly nervous.

Not to mention that these words could very easily offend Vice Principal Xu Shoutai.

Lih Xiao, for the sake of Shen Yuan, had really gone out on a limb, after all, he is his... student or potential boyfriend.

Xu Shoutai’s face changed for a moment, thinking to himself, thank him my ass, I just mentioned that there was such a project, I never directly agreed to give it to him!

"There’s more to that story," Xu Shoutai said, trying to maintain his composure.

Yang Hongjin smiled and looked at Xu Shoutai, "The main fields of study at the International campus are finance, international trade, and economics, but because of positioning issues, most graduates work in finance and foreign trade, and not many engage in business. Also, the startup failure rate is currently quite high.

If Classmate Shen’s company meets the qualifications, school resources can be appropriately inclined."

Yang Hongjin’s vision was much greater than Xu Shoutai’s, and he also considered issues from the school’s perspective.

Xu Shoutai was extremely reluctant internally, but still responded with a smile on his face, "That’s also one of the reasons I recommended this project to Shen Yuan. There isn’t much the school can do to help him, and this physical examination project is one thing we can offer."

Yang Hongjin hummed in agreement, "But the qualification inspection must still adhere to standards, and competition must be based on the principles of fairness and justice. Just because Classmate Shen is our student, we can’t just open the back door for him."

"Understood, Principal Yang," Xu Shoutai nodded but thought to himself, damn it, Old Yang talks about fairness and not opening back doors, but in reality, he’s already decided to give this project to Shen Yuan.

The crafty old man speaks in such a watertight manner, only hinting through subtext, which means that if anything goes wrong later on, Xu Shoutai alone would have to take the blame.

A boss being one level higher really does squash you like a bug!

Xu Shoutai regarded Lih Xiao with an unreadable look and thought to himself that Shen Yuan truly had some skills to directly bypass him and speak to the principal through Teacher Lih.

However, this Teacher Lih clearly didn’t see the line clearly. Are you a teacher at the school or Shen Yuan’s spokesperson?

A traitor emerged from the team of educators!

Sweat soaked through Lih Xiao’s back as she unsettledly sat back down in her seat.

Next to her, Teacher Sun Yuan lowered her voice and asked, "Did Shen Yuan contact you about something urgent?"

Lih Xiao shook her head silently, thinking to herself that there was no urgent matter; she had just put on a show with her phone.

She still felt a bit scared now, knowing that if Xu Shoutai held a grudge, it would mean the end of her job at the International campus.

Lui Zhaojiang, who is managed by Xu Shoutai at the Youth League and has been involved in several school health projects, also sensed something unusual.

He glanced at Lih Xiao and then at Xu Shoutai onstage, and couldn’t help feeling a bit of schadenfreude.

Old Xu had eaten well in this position while they hadn’t even gotten a sip of the soup; now he had finally stepped in it.

But Shen Yuan really had guts, making such a bold move. Wasn’t he afraid of offending Old Xu to death?

...

It was already 9 p.m. when Shen Yuan received a call from Lih Xiao. He said with a laugh, "Thank you, Teacher Lih. I’ll treat you to a meal another day."

"I was totally nervous, and I still haven’t calmed down yet. I didn’t dare to look at Principal Xu during the meeting."

Lih Xiao’s voice sounded tremulous over the phone, while Shen Yuan said indifferently, "Just pretend you don’t know anything. In their eyes, I just used you, so they will place their hatred on me."

"Shen Yuan, did you really use me?" Lih Xiao found this word unpleasant to hear.

Women focus on strange things, Shen Yuan thought and then said, "How is it using? It’s Teacher Lih acting out of care for a student, helping a student. Besides, I am your student; we are part of a community, sharing both honor and dishonor."

Lih Xiao’s tone suddenly turned muffled, "Shen Yuan, are you just my student?"

Shen Yuan chuckled, "That depends on what you think."

"But...."

Lih Xiao wanted to say but you haven’t declared your feelings yet, but then she remembered that Shen Yuan had indeed declared them once previously, only she hadn’t accepted then.

"But, you haven’t come to see me for a long time."

The tone of Lih Xiao’s words was no longer like a teacher’s but a sulking girlfriend’s.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan’s heart softened, "I’ll come to see you tomorrow, are you free?"

"Tomorrow... tomorrow there is a staff dinner, but I should be able to take a leave. I’ll let you know when it’s confirmed," Lih Xiao replied.

"Okay, I’ll wait for the good news."

"Mmm."

Inside the Dongsheng Neighborhood, after Lih Xiao hung up the phone, she sighed. Why hadn’t Shen Yuan declared his feelings yet; had she dragged things out too long?

Was it because she hadn’t been direct enough?

Shen Yuan hadn’t come to see me recently. Could it be that he likes another girl?

For a moment, a thousand possibilities popped into Lih Xiao’s head, causing Lih Meng to ask with intrigue, "Sis, what’s wrong?"

"Lih Meng,"

Lih Xiao looked earnestly at her sister, "Why hasn’t Shen Yuan confessed to me yet? Moreover, he hasn’t come to see me for a week now, and he only asked me out today because I helped him."

"Could it be that he doesn’t like me anymore?"

"It’s only been a week without seeing you, and you’re already imagining so much," Lih Meng said analytically.

"Maybe he’s just been too busy recently, probably with business stuff," Lih Meng reasoned.

"That must be it," Lih Xiao nodded to herself in reassurance. "He said this project is very important."

"However, sis,"

Lih Meng added, "Aren’t you being too nice to Shen Yuan? You offended a vice principal today, and you might actually lose your job because of it."

Lih Xiao recalled it carefully, "Actually, I’ve thought about this too, but Shen Yuan has helped me a lot too. He supported my work when he was at school, later helped me move, and bought me a lot of things. Don’t you think he’s been really good to me?"

"Look at you, self-PUA again,"

Lih Meng rolled her eyes. "You’ve also done a lot for him. All those textbooks and key points you helped him with, not to mention the risk you took today offending your superiors to help him."

"Self-PUA? Do I do that?"

Lih Xiao was a bit dazed, not feeling that she did anything wrong.

"Yes. You’re totally love-struck," Lih Meng stated.

After reflecting on it briefly, Lih Meng wondered if she might be the same...

Huh?

Am I also love-struck?

Lih Meng felt she would do the same.

However, her thoughts shifted slightly. It’s just a job. If she lost it because of this and Shen Yuan had to support her, so be it.

Ah, the almighty power of capital~

...

"Who are you going to see tomorrow?"

Le standing behind the couch, quietly massaged Shen Yuan’s head.

"A teacher who helped me."

With Yang Hongjin’s support, Shen Yuan felt confident the project would succeed unless something unexpected happened.

But what he wanted was not only the project, but also the connection to Old Yang.

Although Yang Hongjin hadn’t made it too direct, the support was evident, so Shen Yuan also needed to show appropriate gratitude.

Relationships solidified through such reciprocation.

"A male teacher or female teacher?" Liew Menglu inquired further.

"Some things are better left unasked."

Shen Yuan was somewhat agitated by Liew Menglu’s inquisitiveness; she always snooped around where she shouldn’t. She wasn’t even supposed to come to the airport today and hadn’t informed Shen Yuan beforehand.

Liew Menglu pouted with a "hmm," realizing she had spoken out of turn again, albeit unable to contain her curiosity.

After a pause, Liew Menglu switched to a safer topic. "Shen Yuan, did you gain anything from your trip to Southern Yunnan?"

"I gained quite a lot."

Shen Yuan reflected on not only the beautiful scenery of Southern Yunnan but also gaining an attentive life assistant or NPC, and his relationship with his sister-in-law had also improved.

"Will you take me with you on your next trip?" Liew Menglu cautiously asked.

"We’ll see when the time comes," Shen Yuan replied noncommittally, not sure when his next trip would be.

"Okay."

After massaging for a while longer, Liew Menglu stopped her movements and walked around the couch to sit directly on Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan immediately felt the fullness.

This was a softness unique to Coach Liew,

which made her denim A-line skirt stretch tautly.

Her white T-shirt, though crew-neck, still prominently displayed the bright headlights, a charm unique to Coach Liew.

With the glaring headlights right before him, Shen Yuan found it hard to resist climbing a bit further.

Liew Menglu, wrapping her arms around Shen Yuan’s neck, cooed endearingly, "Hubby, I’ve missed you so much. Do you know how I’ve gotten by this week?"

Shen Yuan smirked playfully, "How did you manage?"

Liew Menglu’s cheeks turned bright red, "By looking at your pictures."

Shen Yuan’s eyelid twitched, "When did you take pictures of me?"

"When you were working out, sleeping, and even showering."
