I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 257 - 255: Did You Hear? The Boss is Suffering from Kidney Deficiency

Chapter 257: Chapter 255: Did You Hear? The Boss is Suffering from Kidney Deficiency

For students deeply focused on their lessons, there always seems to be too little taught, never enough nourishment gained.

Lih Meng was exactly that sort of student.

But there was nothing to be done, as lunch break was only so short, and her sister might wake up at any moment. Even if the teacher were more enthusiastic, Lih Meng wouldn’t dare to ask him for a second class.

“Remember what I’ve said.”

Shen Yuan said while straightening his clothes.

“Mmhmm.”

Lih Meng weakly supported herself against the wall as she sat down on the bed, her gaze blurry, her cheeks like ripe peaches, her expression one of contentment and inebriation.

“Shen Yuan, I want to ask you, asking me to live with my sister, was that for her sake or for mine?”

After returning, Lih Meng had been thinking about this. Her sister definitely wanted her to come live with her, but Shen Yuan’s words… Lih Meng was unsure.

Lih Meng worried that Shen Yuan agreed for her to move in just to appease her sister.

“Does it matter?”

Shen Yuan countered, women’s thoughts are always so bizarre, only they could come up with such tricky questions.

“Of course, it matters.”

Lih Meng asserted, “If it was solely for my sister, I don’t think I need to go.”

“It’s mainly for you.”

Shen Yuan smiled, “After all, we make such a good team, I’d like to keep it going.”

Hearing it was for her own good, Lih Meng felt much better, but was it really just as partners?

Lih Meng asked again, “Do you have… other feelings for me?”

Shen Yuan spoke the truth, “Familiarity breeds fondness, I admit I feel more than just desire for you.”

Lih Meng’s heart stirred slightly, this was what she had been longing to hear… the phrase ‘familiarity breeds fondness’ might not sound nice, but at last, there were “feelings.”

But before she could relish the moment for long, another sentence made her want to kick Shen Yuan twice.

“If you want me to reach the level of liking your sister, you’ll need to try harder.”

“It’s you who should be trying harder.”

Lih Meng puffed her cheeks, Shen Yuan was truly unromantic, at a time when he could have made her happy, he had to bring up such things.

“What should I be trying at? Isn’t it you who wants me to like someone?”

Shen Yuan glanced at her, before the lesson the Feel-good Index was at 76, but now it had reached 78, Lih Meng was really getting to him.

“I never said that.”

Lih Meng looked away and fiercely took out her frustration on the little pig plushie on the bed.

Shen Yuan: “….”

….

After a brief rest, Shen Yuan left Lih Meng’s bedroom and quietly entered Teacher Lih’s bedroom, finding her sound asleep with a content smile on her pale face.

Her cheeks were delicately contoured; her long eyelashes occasionally twitched, making one want to bite those rosy lips.

Teacher Lih was still Teacher Lih, even in sleep, she was delightful.

Shen Yuan moved closer, then thought better of it and turned to leave the room, quietly closing the door behind him.

Having just kissed Lih Meng for so long… better not.

Shen Yuan left a message on Teacher Lih’s WeChat and then drove towards Jingfu Health. On the way, he received a WeChat message from Liew Menglu.

Shen Yuan opened the WeChat message at a red light.

“Hubby, are you coming to the office today?”

Below the message was a video.

(PS: This is a screenshot of the video, the video is in the bonus chapter.)

Shen Yuan’s eyelids twitched. He had just finished ‘contributing’ at Lih Meng’s place, and now this seductive woman, Liew Menglu, was tempting him.

His resolve was solid now, so he replied, “What does your sending this video have to do with whether or not I return to the office?”

Liew Menglu: “Of course, it matters, I’m actually wearing this tank top sweater at the office right now.”

Shen Yuan: “You’re dressed like that at work?”

Liew Menglu: “How could I be? I’m wearing a sports jacket over it.”

Shen Yuan: “And then?”

Liew Menglu: “And then, well, if you come to the office, I’ll be waiting for you in your office. If you don’t come, then I’ll go back.”

Shen Yuan: “I’m on my way to the office right now.”

Liew Menglu: “Hahaha, okay!”

Jingfu Health.

Liew Menglu thought that Shen Yuan was coming to the company because of her clothes and video, so she was especially happy.

In fact, she had wanted to send the video to Shen Yuan later, but she felt that Qiao Lei’s provocation at lunchtime was overstepping, and wanted to give her a little lesson.

After all, she had been with Mr. Shen for so long, and although her status wasn’t as high as Nana’s, she wasn’t going to be outdone by a little girl like that, right?

Half an hour later, when Liew Menglu spotted Shen Yuan at the company, she immediately ran to wait for him in his office.

Shen Yuan was the kind of man who always stood out, with his tall figure, sharply defined features, and the aura he exuded as he walked.

Not just Liew Menglu, but Qiao Lei and Long Jinghan had also noticed Shen Yuan’s presence. As he approached expressionless, slowly making his way, employees who passed him all nodded respectfully and greeted him.

“Mr. Shen.”

“Mr. Shen, hello.”

“Good afternoon, Mr. Shen.”

Whenever a colleague greeted him, Shen Yuan would respond with a nod.

Long Jinghan’s eyes sparkled as she stared at Shen Yuan with an infatuated gaze, suddenly feeling that Shen Yuan was so handsome at this moment. Although they had just met a few days ago, she felt that he had changed a lot.

At the same time, a sense of vanity swelled within her because the Shen Yuan who exuded an aura as he walked and whom all employees had to nod and bow to was her man.

Qiao Lei was not as tall as Long Jinghan and had to sit up straight at her workstation and crane her neck to have a clear view of Shen Yuan’s figure.

She couldn’t help muttering to herself, “This Shen Yuan, when he is being serious, is quite handsome.”

But when Shen Yuan passed by her without a glance, she gritted her teeth and muttered resentfully, “What’s that, I’m a living person, your woman, and you don’t even take a look?”

All right, all right, act indifferent now that we’re at the company, huh!

What she didn’t know was that Shen Yuan had never had the habit of looking at the workstations on either side; he always focused straight ahead when walking through the company, and he was also on his way to a meeting right now.

He didn’t even return to his own office, heading directly to Meeting Room No. 2.

The handover team had all arrived: Zhong Yu from Human Resources, Liu Lan from Finance, the yoga studio manager Tong Wen, and two other colleagues were present.

Fu Yingzi was also there; Shen Yuan had requested her participation in every meeting he held, and she was to take minutes as well.

As soon as Shen Yuan entered, Zhong Yu quickly stood up, pulled out the chair at the head of the table, and greeted him with a smile, “Mr. Shen.”

Shen Yuan nodded slightly and then sat down, “Let’s keep it short. Let’s talk about the progress and problems encountered in the handover of the four yoga studios.”

Everyone instinctively sat up straight. Although Shen Yuan was young, he always emanated an invisible authority.

The first to speak was Liu Lan, “Mr. Shen, from the past two days, the accounts and ledgers on their side are quite comprehensive, and there aren’t any bad debts. The company’s cash on hand isn’t much, but with the continuous income from ongoing business orders, sustaining operations is not a problem.”

Shen Yuan nodded and then glanced around, “Next.”

Zhong Yu raised his hand and said solemnly, “There hasn’t been a mass departure of employees, but they are all worried about whether this month’s salary can be paid on time. I have promised them that it will be paid promptly.”

“However, two management employees, both store managers, have asked to resign, saying they feel too much pressure and that their income is unstable. I placated them, and they agreed to consider it for two more days.”

“Finally, the atmosphere in all four studios is somewhat dreary, and everyone’s work morale is not high, which might be related to their incomes.”

Shen Yuan nodded thoughtfully and then turned to Liu Lan, “What’s the average salary for the yoga instructors?”

Liu Lan was familiar with the data, “The average salary is 8000, with the highest being 30,000 in the past three months, and the lowest being 4000.”

“Income disparity is normal in sales, but the overall earnings are indeed low.”

Shen Yuan compared it with Jingfu’s yoga studios and then said, “Next.”

This time, Tong Wen spoke, “The customer base of these four yoga studios is quite stable, relying mainly on regulars and referrals, lacking the development of new clients. Additionally, there are quite a few yoga studios nearby, resulting in severe homogenization and fierce competition.”

“Next.”

“…..”

“Next.”

“…..”

After all five people had spoken, Shen Yuan gained a certain understanding of the situation in the four yoga studios and paused, “What about your proposals? Have you come up with any?”

“Yes.”

Zhong Yu pulled out the prepared report and handed it forward, “Mr. Shen, this is the draft we came up with today. I will explain as you look it over.”

“We think that since the handover has just been completed, there’s no need to make a big fuss, because currently, the employees’ morale is unstable. Moreover, the yoga studio’s client base is still intact. In terms of key positions, for finance and administration, we are planning to make adjustments. However, we will not change the current store managers and supervisors in the business department for now and will wait until things stabilize before discussing further.”

Zhong Yu was well-prepared, “Regarding overall management, we suggest that Tong Wen and Yu Jifeng take charge of two locations each. Considering they have their own matters to attend to, they will act as interim managers until we find suitable candidates for the studio manager positions.”

“As for operations and customer development, we believe these aspects should be slowly improved and adjusted after stability is achieved.”

“In terms of enhancing team business capabilities and quality, we…..”

“Mr. Shen, the above points constitute our initial draft.”

After Zhong Yu finished the important points, he looked towards Shen Yuan, while the others present carefully watched Shen Yuan’s subtle facial expressions.

However, Mr. Shen’s face remained expressionless throughout, which left them somewhat anxious.

Could it be that the draft wasn’t perfect enough?

Having worked with the boss for so long, they roughly knew his style: keep communications brief and to the point, work honestly without cutting corners, and if you’re going to raise issues, be prepared with solutions.

Strict he may have been, but everyone’s work efficiency improved, and the boss had also enhanced employee benefits, especially for management. For instance, he promised big during the last camping trip.

After listening to Zhong Yu and carefully reviewing the draft, Shen Yuan thought, having taken over Jingfu for so long, it was a relief that his employees finally eased his mind.

Listening to the discussion and reviewing the draft, without being overly critical, there indeed was nothing to nitpick.

It wasn’t like the time when the improvement measures were proposed; whether it was Zhong Yu, Sun Zhen, or others, there were always more or fewer oversights.

In the end, Shen Yuan concluded, “From a preliminary perspective, there seems to be no problem, but I am only concerned with the results, not the process. Follow this direction and start implementing. Discuss the details among yourselves.”

Everyone in the room was visibly relieved—it was clear they had passed the review.

The boss might not have offered praise, but he also didn’t criticize or suggest any improvements, which was a much better outcome than the previous time with the improvement measures.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, the meeting is adjourned.”

Shen Yuan stood up, turned around, and walked out of the meeting room, and the employees in the room looked at each other, each displaying a relieved smile.

In the corridor, Shen Yuan led the way with Fu Yingzi following behind. Shen Yuan asked, “Is there anything happening in the company recently that I should know about?”

Fu Yingzi thought for a moment and replied, “There are two things.”

“Let’s hear them.”

“The first thing is that the employees often talk about you. Some say you are a lech, others say that the boss, with so many women, must have kidney deficiency.”

“?”

I don’t mind being called a lech, but to say I have kidney deficiency is going too far… I’m a man with unlimited firing rights.

“Did you refute them?” Shen Yuan asked.

Fu Yingzi paused, “Uh… refute which point?”

Shen Yuan smiled, “It’s normal for a man to be lecherous. I was referring to the kidney deficiency.”

Fu Yingzi looked distressed, “Boss, I don’t know whether you have kidney deficiency or not—how could I refute that?”
