I am not just a tycoon

"Teacher Lih, you really shouldn't take this lightly,"

Sun Yuan spoke earnestly, "These post-2000 girls play a lot harder and are much more liberated than we were. You need to keep a close eye on him."

Lih Xiao's expression turned somewhat dejected, "That's only if I can actually keep an eye on him."

"Why wouldn't you be able to? You've got such great assets,"

Glancing sideways at her prominent features, Sun Yuan whispered with a mischievous smile, "Boys all like a big cup, and they like certain, ahem, special professions."

"Female teacher, glasses, big CUP, these three elements alone are enough to take their breath away. If you put on black tights and professional OL attire, I guarantee he won't see tomorrow's sun."

Lih Xiao turned even redder with embarrassment and fell silent.

Looking down at her ample chest, she knew it was certainly the envy of women and the desire of men.

If she had to name two drawbacks, one would be the difficulty of finding clothes, and the second was the heaviness when she walked.

Yet she didn't want to base her relationship with Shen Yuan on this... If that were the case, wouldn't their relationship be completely distorted?

Sun Yuan probably knew what Lih Xiao was holding onto and continued persuading, "Men, you know, are fickle creatures. If he can't get what he wants from you but finds it easily with other girls, what then?"

"Especially someone like Shen Yuan, who's never lacking for female company."

Raising her eyebrows suggestively at her, Sun Yuan said, "That's why you need to make your move quickly, Teacher Lih. I'm counting on your success so Shen Yuan can introduce me to some quality prospects."

Lih Xiao wasn't listening, her mind preoccupied with the identity of that girl.

Why did Shen Yuan ask her to get in the car?

Where are they going?

Didn't he say he was coming to pick me up today?

...

At this moment, Shen Yuan, unaware that his action of driving the girl had been exposed, chatted idly in the car with Qiao Lei and Long Jinghan.

"Shen Yuan, I'm one of the people you personally selected for the entrepreneurship base. When will you assess my project?"

Qiao Lei asked from the passenger seat.

Shen Yuan couldn't remember, "What project was it again?"

"A media company."

Qiao Lei pouted her soft lips, "You don't care about me at all, even though I mentioned it at the bar last time."

"Oh, now I remember."

Shen Yuan recalled, Qiao Lei's project was relatively significant among the 'five golden flowers,' but he had been dragging his feet on the assessment.

However, Shen Yuan had his plans—he intended to expand Jingfu's online operations department. Once the online section stabilized, he planned to pull a small part from the operations and other departments to form a new media company.

As for Qiao Lei... her personality did suit management, but personality and ability are two different things, plus she was only a sophomore and had no experience in management or work.

"You sophomores haven't started interning yet, have you?"

While driving, Shen Yuan asked, "Also, have you had any experience in management or work before?"

"Not yet, internships start in junior year,"

Qiao Lei readily admitted, "As for management, I'm currently the publicity department leader of the student union, and I've been in this position for a semester; as for work, I was an assistant for an anchor friend of mine in the past two months, does that count?"

Shen Yuan shook his head, "Student union management and workplace management are two completely different things. Besides, that assistant job you mentioned, it must have been quite limited in scope, right?"

Qiao Lei pursed her lips thoughtfully, "It is quite limited. I mainly help her prepare the live broadcast scene, do some post-production work, and monitor the backend data."

"So with just that little experience, you want to start a company?"

Shen Yuan bluntly critiqued. "Aren't you afraid of overreaching and hurting yourself? My money didn't just come blowing in on the wind."

Qiao Lei pouted disgruntledly, murmuring, "I usually wear skirts, how could I hurt myself there."

"Anyway, don't dream of overnight success. Take it slow."

After thinking a moment, Shen Yuan added, "If you're not going back over the summer break, you could intern at my company's online operations department. It's essentially a mini media company, with anchors and regular live broadcasts, as well as a team responsible for post-production and video creation, including..."

"That's great."

Qiao Lei agreed without hesitation, "You'll be around the company often, right?"

Shen Yuan shook his head, "I won't. I only come to the office occasionally. But let me be frank, if you don't catch on quickly, and don't meet my expectations, forget about starting a company for the time being."

"Got it, got it,"

Qiao Lei replied impatiently, "You underestimate me. I learn things very fast."

Shen Yuan smiled without comment, knowing full well that Qiao Lei's only real strength was her bravado.

When they arrived at the female dormitory building, Shen Yuan slowly brought the car to a stop and turned to them, "Here we are. You can head back first."

Long Jinghan was the first to open the door and get out, while Qiao Lei, sitting in the front passenger seat, showed no intention of moving.

Shen Yuan glanced at her, "Why aren't you getting out?"

Qiao Lei didn't reply; instead, she let down her hair bun, allowing her long, dark, beautiful hair to cascade naturally over her shoulders.

She looked deep into Shen Yuan's eyes, "Senior, why don't you come up to our dorm for a bit?"

Shen Yuan's heart skipped a beat, what fresh antics was she up to now?

"Be clear with your words, are we talking about sitting or doing something else?"

Shen Yuan was no novice; he knew exactly how to steer the conversation.

"It's up to you, senior,"

Qiao Lei thrust forward her voluptuous figure, uncaring of Shen Yuan's gaze, and tugged at the hem of her yoga top, seemingly trying to cover her slim and pale midriff.

This action was counterproductive, as no matter how she tugged, the yoga top couldn't cover her waist and belly.

This little vixen, tempting me again... Shen Yuan glanced at his watch. There were still 50 minutes before he was supposed to pick up Teacher Lih, so if it was just sitting, he should have enough time.

"Then let me make it clear, I'm only going upstairs to sit, not to 'do' anything."

Shen Yuan gave Qiao Lei a precautionary warning. With only 50 minutes, there wasn't enough time, especially with two little girls eagerly waiting.

He simply wanted to see how the girls' dormitory was arranged.

"As you wish, senior."

Qiao Lei smiled slightly, a hint of triumph flashing in the corner of her eye before getting out of the car and opening the door.

After Shen Yuan turned off the car and got out, Long Jinghan saw him and asked with surprise, "Shen Yuan... you're also going up?"

Shen Yuan shrugged helplessly, "Can't help it, couldn't refuse the invitation, Junior Qiao insists on having me sit upstairs for a while."

Long Jinghan seemed to realize something and hesitantly said, "But... the dorm caretaker is still there, and there are still some female students who haven't left."

Long Jinghan was worried something indescribable might happen upstairs. The girls' dormitory wasn't a hotel; if they brought a boy upstairs who stayed in the dorm and didn't leave, what would they do if someone found out?

"What's the big deal?"

Qiao Lei said noncommittally, "It's the vacation now, the dorm caretaker won't be in charge, and besides, there aren't many girls left upstairs. At least all the girls from our dorm have gone home."

"Erm..."

Long Jinghan was somewhat troubled.

"Come on, Sister Jinghan, trust me, it's all good."

Without waiting to see if Long Jinghan was willing, Qiao Lei took her hand and led her inside.

The International campus had started summer vacation two days ago. Most of the students had already left campus, leaving only a few scattered around. Compared to the hustle and bustle before the holidays, it was now significantly quieter.

As the three of them passed the front gate of the girls' dormitory, the dorm caretaker, a woman in her forties, looked at the only male student in vigilance, "Young man, what are you going up there for?"

Before Shen Yuan could speak up, Qiao Lei answered with a smile, "Auntie, he's my boyfriend, just coming to help us move some luggage."

The caretaker "oh"ed and scanned Shen Yuan up and down, then casually said, "Don't stay up there too long."

"Sure thing, auntie."

Qiao Lei beamed an obedient smile and then led Shen Yuan into the dormitory.

However, after being observed by the caretaker, Shen Yuan felt as if everything about him had been seen through.

This feeling was similar to the sharp look the caretaker gave when he had previously told her that they were just going out for a barbecue with Old Huang and would be back before the doors closed.

It seemed that being a dorm caretaker for so long had given her the ability to see through people, yet she chose not to reveal anything.

Long Jinghan followed behind with a guilty conscience, hoping they were really going just to sit for a bit, then leave, right?

While walking up the stairs, Qiao Lei hung onto Shen Yuan's arm; the soft fabric of her sweater brushed against him from time to time. She then suggested, "Let's go to our dorm room. It's on the third floor."

When they reached the third floor, Long Jinghan got cold feet, lagging a step behind and hesitantly said, "I won't go, my room is on the fourth floor, you two..."

"Oh come on, let's all sit together."

Qiao Lei didn't wait for Long Jinghan to finish, walked up to her, grabbed her wrist and said, "Come on, come on."

Long Jinghan became even more convinced that Qiao Lei had been practicing yoga and Pilates for half a month just waiting for this day.

Shen Yuan was visiting the girls' dormitory for the first time. While passing through the corridor, he glanced inside through the windows casually.

Most of the girls had already left campus and their dormitories were mostly cleaned up, so there wasn't much to see inside.

"Here we are."

Qiao Lei took out her key to unlock the dorm room door and then pushed it open and entered.

Shen Yuan followed into the dorm room, and a faint scent immediately wafted into his nose.

The layout of the girls' dorm was the same as the boys', with four desks underneath lofted beds. But after looking around, Shen Yuan noticed that Qiao Lei's dorm room was kept much tidier.

"Not bad, right?"

Qiao Lei boasted, "I'm the dorm leader. The four of us take turns cleaning. Luckily, my roommates are all pretty clean."

"Not bad," Shen Yuan nodded.

"Here, this is my bed and desk."

Qiao Lei pointed to a neatly arranged desk.

The desk was wiped clean, adorned with a few textbooks, a thinkbook laptop, a water cup, and a pen holder.

Shen Yuan wasn't interested in the desk as much as he was in the wardrobe.

Qiao Lei lifted her chin, "What, you want to see the wardrobe too? That won't do, there are girls' private items in there, you can't just look through them."

Shen Yuan wasn't very keen to look, but her provocation sparked his interest, and he reached out to open the wardrobe.

"Shen Yuan..."

Suddenly, the always silent Long Jinghan spoke up, quickly shutting the wardrobe closed.

Shen Yuan couldn't help but ask, "What's the rush? Qiao Lei isn't worried, why are you?"

"Err..."

Long Jinghan's face turned red, faltering in response.

Shen Yuan grew more curious, "Could it be there's something scandalous inside?"

Feeling a dry throat, Long Jinghan thought to herself that there weren't just Qiao Lei's clothes in there, but also her own clothing, and even...

"Just let him have a look," Qiao Lei coaxed from the side.

"Maybe... it's better not to look."

Long Jinghan gently tugged on Shen Yuan's arm.

"What's really inside there?"

By this point, Shen Yuan was rather expectant. Ignoring Long Jinghan's dissuasion, he stubbornly opened the wardrobe.
