Chapter 368 -294: The Old Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner Shen Yuan_2
She felt that the boss had been charmed by a beauty. Allowing such a person to independently manage a new department, was he not afraid that it would affect the company’s normal operations?
Shen Yuan looked at Qiao Lei with interest. “Let’s see if you’re a mule or a horse when you take it out for a walk. Otherwise, you keep saying others are incapable. Now that you’ve been given the space for free rein, let’s see what you can achieve.”
It just so happened that Shen Yuan was not very satisfied with the company’s operational data. This could be an opportunity for them to compete and see.
Of course, it would be better if Qiao Lei had the upper hand, but even if Qiao Lei lost, Cheng Ru’s victory wouldn’t be glorious either, after all, Qiao Lei was just a college student.
Besides, if Qiao Lei lost, it would be a good opportunity to curb her ambition and make her realize her actual capabilities, so she wouldn’t keep clamoring about starting a media company.
In any case, whatever the outcome, it would be good for Shen Yuan.
...
However, aside from not getting along with Cheng Ru, Qiao Lei was doing quite well with other colleagues in the department. With the establishment of the new department, before the company could reassign staff, a quarter of them had already voluntarily “defected” to Qiao Lei.
“It seems that Junior Qiao Lei’s interpersonal relationships aren’t as bad as I thought.”
Shen Yuan silently watched Qiao Lei’s confident speaking, feeling an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if he was raising a daughter.
Damn, it seems like I don’t only want to be their dad in bed.
“Actions speak louder than words. In any case, I will deliver a satisfactory report to the company after a month. Of course, there will be other tasks that require cooperation from all colleagues. I would like to thank you all in advance.”
“Alright, I’m done.”
Qiao Lei nodded slightly and then sat down.

Following that was another round of vigorous applause. This time, Shen Yuan didn’t express any opinions. No matter what he thought internally, he still had to appear impartial on the surface.
After the meeting, Shen Yuan returned to his office, and it wasn’t long before Liew Menglu and Qiao Lei also came in.
As soon as Liew Menglu walked in, she praised, “Sister Qiao Lei is awesome, really has the demeanor of a leader.”
“Is that so?”
Qiao Lei was unsure because Shen Yuan had been stone-faced during the meeting, so she was not confident.
“Senior, what do you think?”
Qiao Lei asked tentatively.
“It was okay. I only look at the results, not the process. A report at the meeting doesn’t mean much. Show me the results.”
Work was work, and Shen Yuan wouldn’t coddle Qiao Lei just because she was his woman. Moreover, there were definitely many people flattering her. Since Qiao Lei tended to get carried away easily, Shen Yuan had to be the one to play the bad cop.
“Oh.”
Qiao Lei pouted in response, wondering why it was so hard to get a compliment from Shen Yuan. She had spoken so eloquently just now without stammering, she certainly made him look good.
But she was still thrilled, after accumulating two years at school and over a month of internship, she finally had a chance to spread her wings.
Many in the company thought the three of them were just pretty faces. Liew Menglu and Senior Jinghan had proven themselves, and now it was her turn!
Let those who looked down on her come and see – not only was she prettier, but her abilities were stronger too!
“I won’t stoop to your level. Just you wait and see. Next month, my performance won’t be any worse than Cheng Ru’s.”
“Don’t boast too much in case you can’t deliver.”
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow. “Haven’t you been embarrassed enough times?”
Qiao Lei objected, “Hmph, this time I won’t be embarrassed.”
Shen Yuan looked at Coach Liew. “Coach Liew, record her boastful talk now, and if she doesn’t deliver, we’ll publicly ‘execute’ her.”
“Okay.”
Liew Menglu said as she took out her phone to record.
“Hey, come on, recording is really unnecessary.”
Qiao Lei hurriedly covered her face.

“You were so confident just now, why are you chickening out so fast?”
“…”
After the meeting ended around 4 pm, Shen Yuan decided to wait for the three Golden Flowers of Jingfu to leave work together.
After greeting Ji Ya, the four of them went back to the villa at Green Bamboo Lake. Shen Yuan drove his G63 with Qiao Lei, while Liew Menglu drove her 911 with Long Jinghan.
All the way, Qiao Lei chattered non-stop, talking about her work plan and next steps, but Shen Yuan was yawning throughout.
Not until they reached the villa’s garage did his spirits slightly lift.
There was no helping it. There were four distinctive women in the house, and they were all his. Under such circumstances, any man would struggle not to feel excited.
Ji Ya was already bustling in the kitchen with an apron, while Liew Menglu and Long Jinghan also entered the kitchen to help. Qiao Lei, on the other hand, was tidying up the dining table, preparing drinks and cutlery.
Looking at this harmonious scene, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental. Having the company of four women was already a blissful experience—he wondered what the scene would be like if all the NPC gathered together.
Initially, all three women could cook, and with Ji Ya’s early preparation, they only waited for about ten minutes before a feast full of color, aroma, and flavor was served.
Qiao Lei poured everyone a glass of ice Coca-Cola, and Shen Yuan noticed that all could drink something cold.
All his favorites were present tonight… Shen Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
During the meal, the atmosphere seemed nice on the surface, as everyone had already “synced up” and meshed well together.
But that was just on the surface. In reality, the women were also testing each other, like when Qiao Lei poured ice Coca-Cola for the other three, she wanted to see if they could keep up.
And Liew Menglu was the first to suggest toasting, also wanting to see if they would take Shen Yuan’s “lessons” tonight.
Ji Ya and Long Jinghan were relatively more laid-back, but they still subconsciously noted whether the other women drank.
