I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 253 - 251: Liew Menglu VS Qiao Lei

Chapter 253: Chapter 251: Liew Menglu VS Qiao Lei

“Is there anything else?”

Shen Yuan was about to close the door when he noticed Fu Yingzi hadn’t left yet, so he asked.

“No, no, nothing at all.”

Fu Yingzi retracted her gaze and pretended to be calm as she turned to press the elevator button, but inside her heart was already in turmoil.

The boss is okay with sisters, but even Teacher Lih isn’t spared?

This is Teacher Lih… known as the most beautiful teacher of the International campus, the goddess many male students yearn for.

Male teachers like her, male students like her, and even many lesbian students like her.

Unexpected indeed… Fu Yingzi smacked her lips, thinking she still underestimated the boss; his team’s lineup depth was indeed full of unlimited potential!

Right after Fu Yingzi took the elevator away, Shen Yuan also brought two big bags into the living room.

“I’ve prepared some gifts for Uncle and Auntie; take a look.”

Shen Yuan placed two bags on the coffee table, took out the items one by one: “Knowing Uncle loves smoking, I bought 2 cartons of Hetianxia, along with two bottles of Feitian, and I also prepared a set of fishing gear knowing Uncle likes fishing.”

“For Auntie, I bought some gold jewelry, and knowing Auntie loves tea, I also bought some tea leaves.”

“Is this a Gamakatsu Senshaku?”

Lih Shenghua immediately recognized the fishing gear and, lifting it to look at it more closely, his eyes sparkled with delight.

“Yes.”

Shen Yuan smiled. He had casually searched online last night after hearing that Old Lih loved fishing and had just happened to find this fishing rod.

On one hand, the price was right, 13,000 yuan each, and besides, Shen Yuan quite liked the name “Senshaku.”

Although he had never fished, Shen Yuan understandably knew what a good set of fishing gear meant to an enthusiast.

Just like how you wear basketball shoes for basketball, running shoes for running, both are very important tools.

Lih Shenghua carefully opened it up, lovingly touching the carbon fiber rod body, repeatedly nodding his head, “Shen Yuan, you really thought this through.”

Loo Zhen coughed, signaling Lih Shenghua to mind his enthusiasm; it was just a fishing rod, after all, look at you, acting like you’ve never seen the world.

However, when Loo Zhen herself opened the other bag and saw the dazzling array of gold jewelry inside, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise.

“Shen Yuan, this… this must have cost a pretty penny, right?”

Loo Zhen could hardly speak properly, as it was her first time seeing so much gold jewelry.

With gold at over 600 yuan per gram nowadays, she roughly weighed it, feeling it must weigh at least 100 grams.

“It’s okay, spent over 70,000, as long as Auntie likes it,” Shen Yuan said unconcernedly.

Lih Xiao wrapped her arm around Shen Yuan’s wrist, seeing the delighted expressions on her parent’s faces, was also quite satisfied.

Lih Meng then scoffed lightly, good, good, good, a teacher and a policeman, just like that fell for the mighty dollar, huh?

Shen Yuan really has a way with gift-giving, always hitting the right spot.

But still… your future son-in-law isn’t without flaws.

Lih Meng felt somewhat ashamed thinking about the absurdity of last night, though she indeed was very humble when she wanted that “something.”

But Shen Yuan shouldn’t always take advantage of others, letting me call him brother-in-law is one thing, but why did he even make me call him ‘Daddy’?

Totally absurd!

Lih Shenghua and Loo Zhen were overwhelmed by the gifts, a fishing rod costing over 10,000, high-quality tobacco and liquor, over 70,000 in gold jewelry, premium tea leaves – all these added up to more than 100,000.

Just one gift-giving occasion and it surpassed their annual income.

It took them a while to realize they appeared somewhat flustered, they promptly adjusted their gaze and expression, and sat up straight again.

Loo Zhen said with relief, “Shen Yuan, these gifts are too valuable, your Uncle Lih and I are quite embarrassed.”

Shen Yuan smiled, “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, it’s only right for me as the younger one.”

Lih Xiao added from the side, “Shen Yuan even said, these next few days while you are in Star City, he’s already arranged the hotel and driver for you.”

“That’s really too much trouble.”

Loo Zhen refused politely, “We can find a hotel ourselves.”

“It’s no trouble at all, Auntie, let me have the pleasure of being a good host,” Shen Yuan glanced at his watch, “it’s almost time for lunch, let’s go eat.”

“Alright then.”

Loo Zhen stood up, the more she looked at Shen Yuan, the more she liked him, what kind of incredible son-in-law did the Lih family find, was their ancestral tomb emitting green smoke?

Lih Shenghua wasn’t particular about tobacco and alcohol, so great tobacco and liquor meant little difference to him.

But “one hill, one water, one pack of cigarettes, one pole, one line, fish for a day,” only a fellow fishing enthusiast knows the joy in that.

The rod “Senshaku” really made him reconsider this future son-in-law.

So much so that the pain from knowing Xiaoxiao was living with him had eased quite a bit.

During the meal, he was somewhat excited and, despite his wife and daughter’s persuasion, insisted on opening a bottle of wine and raised his glass to Shen Yuan saying, “Here, Shen Yuan, I, well, don’t have any other requests, just hope you treat my daughter well and hope that you can be accommodating and progress together.”

“Of course, Uncle, rest assured,” Shen Yuan clinked glasses with Old Lih, then set down his wine glass.

Lih Xiao sat between Shen Yuan and Old Lih, after they set down their wine glasses, she pushed a cup of tea towards Old Lih, “Dad, drink some tea.”

Lih Meng, who was sitting on Shen Yuan’s right, seeing Shen Yuan set down his wine glass, also pushed the tea cup towards him.

A simple and natural movement, it seemed normal to everyone, but Old Lih, working in criminal investigations, instinctively observed everyone’s every move.

Meng Meng’s action seemed natural… but it was just this naturalness that was off.

If it were Xiaoxiao doing it, no matter how natural it seemed, it would be fine, but Meng Meng, being his sister-in-law, for her to act so naturally definitely meant there was something fishy.

Old Lih also noticed that Meng Meng’s body always slightly leaned toward Shen Yuan, although it wasn’t obvious, it was still noticeable.

Her wrist too subtly angled towards him, these subtle movements reflect the subconscious thoughts of the heart.

Darn, Meng Meng must also like Shen Yuan?

Uncle Lih thought of this possibility for the first time…. If that were the case, it would be somewhat dangerous.

The meal had been going well, but Uncle Lih just happened to discover this damned matter, giving him a headache for the moment.

…..

While Shen Yuan was eating with a big family, Qiao Lei and Long Jinghan had already been working half a day at Jingfu.

They had completed their onboarding procedures yesterday afternoon; today was their first official day at work.

In any typical company, having two beauties of such caliber arrive at the same time would definitely cause quite a stir.

After all, those single male employees and the married LSPs were all secretly coveting.

Even if they weren’t coveting, there would still be some gossip among colleagues.

But the male employees at Jingfu had no such thoughts, for a simple reason: one was 22, the other 20, both college students; it was clear they were the boss’s women without even thinking.

With Fu Yingzi and Liew Menglu setting precedents, Jingfu’s employees were no longer surprised; they just accepted that their boss was a bit lustful, as long as it didn’t affect their salaries.

The only downside they felt was that the boss’s women were nearly in every department of the company, making them wary of slipping up at work.

What if they carelessly got reported by one of the boss’s women?

Now, during lunch break, Qiao Lei came up to Long Jinghan’s workstation and crossed her arms, saying, “Shen Yuan is really lazy, isn’t he? Haven’t seen him all morning. For such a big company, doesn’t he care at all?”

“Leilei, keep your voice down,”

Long Jinghan made a “shush” gesture and whispered, “This is Shen Yuan’s company, you know, and he is officially our boss, so we shouldn’t talk badly about him in public places. It would be bad if someone overheard us.”

Qiao Lei uttered an “Oh,” “Got it.”

“Hey, wait, didn’t you say Fu Yingzi works here too? Why haven’t I seen her?” Qiao Lei suddenly remembered something and asked.

“I asked her this morning, she said she went to help Shen Yuan with some purchases.”

Long Jinghan whispered, “Senior Fu is now Shen Yuan’s executive secretary, practically the closest person to him at work.”

Qiao Lei frowned slightly, “A secretary, huh? Then they must also….”

“Leilei, you can’t just say anything.”

Long Jinghan quickly interjected, then looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before she relaxed.

“Jinghan senior, why do I feel that the closer I am to Shen Yuan, the more women he seems to have around him?”

At first, Qiao Lei saw Long Jinghan as a competitor, then subconsciously saw Fang Minhui as competing, and now there was Fu Yingzi as well.

“Why bother making up imaginary adversaries? Just focus on doing well yourself, isn’t that enough?”

Long Jinghan was fairly Zen about things; what comes will come, and Shen Yuan was quite nice to her, she dared not ask for more.

Just then, a graceful figure caught their attention.

Hair cascading over her shoulders, swaying with every confident step, nearly 170 in height, Lingling was curvy, dressed in yoga pants and a sun-protection shirt, wearing matching sneakers.

Qiao Lei’s sixth sense told her that this woman was also connected to Shen Yuan.

Sure enough, the woman walked into Shen Yuan’s office.

“Who is she?” Qiao Lei asked.

Long Jinghan shook her head, “I came here with you, how would I know?”

“Shall we ask?” Qiao Lei suggested.

“Let’s not, she might just be here for work.”

“What work needs to be done in Shen Yuan’s office, and Shen Yuan himself isn’t even here?” Qiao Lei felt increasingly suspicious.

“That’s none of our business to interfere,”

Long Jinghan knew what Qiao Lei was thinking. Qiao Lei always felt like Shen Yuan’s women had a ranking, and she belonged at the bottom, so she always wanted to climb to a higher position.

But to Long Jinghan, it seemed more straightforward; even at a low position, as long as there was no elimination, what did it matter?

“I’m going to ask myself.”

Qiao Lei, determined, headed straight for Shen Yuan’s office.

“Hey, Leilei…”

Long Jinghan lifted a hand to say something more, but Qiao Lei had already walked over.

Qiao Lei knocked on the office door, and upon hearing an “Enter” from inside, she pushed open the glass door.

Liew Menglu was there for the afternoon operations meeting. She always liked to arrive early, and it was also a chance to see if Shen Yuan was in the office; if he was, they could spend some time together.

However, today was unfortunate; Shen Yuan was not in the office.

Liew Menglu raised her chin to look at the young woman, with her youthful face, startlingly pale skin, and impressive bust….another so beautiful trust in the office, could she also be one of Shen Yuan’s women?

“Who are you?” Liew Menglu asked.

“I was about to ask you the same, why are you in Shen Yuan’s office?”

Hostility tinged Qiao Lei’s gaze.

Liew Menglu smiled wryly, “My name is Liew Menglu, I’m a special consultant at Jingfu, and Shen Yuan has authorized me to freely enter his office. Do you want to call him and check?”

Qiao Lei responded with an “Oh,” “I’m Qiao Lei, I will also have free access to Shen Yuan’s office in the future.”

Liew Menglu spread her hands, showing an innocuous expression, “Suit yourself.”

Dealing with such young girls was something Liew Menglu was quite experienced in, after all, she’d been a young girl herself once.

The girl in front of her clearly had a strong desire to win, her coming here was likely just to get near and observe to see if her ability to freely enter Shen Yuan’s office was due to some exceptional virtue.

If Liew Menglu had contended with her directly, it might have put her at a disadvantage, better to adapt Nana’s “The broadsword has no edge” approach, letting this girl named Qiao Lei punch into cotton.

Sure enough, Qiao Lei’s expression turned indifferent, unsure of how to proceed; she had intended to drop a few harsh words, but the other party didn’t engage.

Too bad there were no spectators; otherwise, someone would certainly have been narrating in their mind: Liew Menglu VS Qiao Lei, round 1, Liew Menglu WIN!!!
