I am not just a tycoon

Chapter 118 Lively Training Session

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable...."

"Sorry, you..."

Inside the apartment, while Chen Na was taking a shower, Shen Yuan tried to call Lih Xiao several times without success, and she didn't reply to his WeChat messages either.

He had no idea how things were going on the counselor's side...

Shen Yuan sighed helplessly.

.....

In the Dongsheng Neighborhood, Lih Meng watched the continuously ringing phone on the coffee table, her eyes flashing with annoyance, "It's so annoying. How can he still have the face to call?"

Then, she turned to Lih Xiao beside her, "Sister, just block this kind of guy completely, it will stop him from bothering you."

Lih Xiao, wearing a loose pajama, her hair casually scattered, was sitting on the sofa, hugging her knees. She appeared tired, and her beautiful eyes were slightly red and swollen, indicating she had cried.

She had been silent since she got back, no matter what Lih Meng said, she wouldn't respond.

Lih Meng felt heartbroken and reached out to hold her arm, "Sis, I think Shen Yuan is not good at all, you shouldn't be sad for him."

"It's good that we discovered the true colors of this creep today, from another perspective, this is a blessing in disguise."

Finally, Lih Xiao raised her head and looked at her, "Tell me, why do guys like to go to those places?"

"Isn't that obvious? Ten men out of ten are lustful, they go there simply because lust drives them."

Lih Meng indignantly said.

"Why would guys be driven by lust then?"

"Because they have physical needs, ah! If it's not satisfied, they look for thrills, I heard that the women working at those places are very good at making men happy."

Upon hearing this, Lih Xiao thought for a moment, "Maybe Shen Yuan went there to satisfy his physical needs too."

"Sis, you absolutely can't think like this!"

Lih Meng immediately interrupted her horrifying thought, "It's normal for boys to have physical needs, but they can't just go to prostitutes to satisfy them!"

Lih Xiao nodded to indicate she understood; she wasn't unaware of these biological knowledge, just too upset and trying to find some reason for consolation.

While Shen Yuan was certainly at fault, Lih Xiao felt she also bore a small responsibility because she hadn't helped him resolve...

No, no, Lih Xiao immediately shook her head, thinking she must be going crazy to have such bizarre thoughts.

I can't be blinded by love, I can't be blinded by love...

Lih Xiao kept admonishing herself internally.

....

Inside the apartment, Shen Yuan habitually checked his WeChat for any messages he might have missed.

Among them was a message from Ye Zhiyang, asking if that project was going to happen, which Shen Yuan directly skipped.

There were also some messages from other classmates, indicating they wanted to apply for the startup base and hoped Shen Yuan could pull a few strings for them.

Shen Yuan passed over those too. Everyone should fend for themselves; they think I will open the back door for them because they ask? Wishful thinking!

Finally, there was a WeChat message from the junior, Long Jinghan.

"Hey, senior, it's Long Jinghan~"

"You must be busy usually, remember to have meals and sleep on time~"

"Good morning, senior, today is another day full of energy~"

"Last night there was a big wind, the campus is full of fallen leaves[picture.jpg]"

"....."

There were several more messages like these, which Shen Yuan hadn't responded to, but now that he had some time, he clicked through her Moments.

Updates were frequent, three to four posts a week, including daily shares and her own selfies.

The pictures looked indeed very white and tender, but they were edited, and only by seeing her in person could he assess the true quality.

He saw the potential in this junior to become a reserve, to observe for a while before deciding if she could be officially promoted, so he replied, "Quite busy, will chat when free."

After sending the reply, Shen Yuan put down his phone.

For a girl like her, not replying to her messages for a few days and then suddenly sending one, she could probably be ecstatic all night.

The shorter the reply, the better, to keep her hoping yet uncertain, giving her an illusion of hope but elusiveness.

But Shen Yuan had been waiting for more than twenty minutes after his shower, how come Nana is still not done showering?

Women are so slow, even taking a bath is sluggish.

Shen Yuan internally grumbled, but as the bathroom door creaked open, Shen Yuan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Today, Nana was exceptionally sensible.

She wasn't wearing pajamas but had changed into a blue suit jacket and a gray mini skirt, which looked very similar to the one she wore that time they went to the 4S shop to buy a car, but only Shen Yuan knew that this skirt must have been shortened by the tailor.

And her long, slender legs were now sheathed in black stockings, irresistibly inviting a touch. Nana's legs were perfection, long and straight yet still full and fleshy, which Shen Yuan knew all too well compared to his own deep experiences.

Damn it, Nana really disturbed my peace of mind today!

Because she had just finished bathing, Chen Na's cheeks and nose still carried a faint steaming, her cheeks were tinted a light pink, she looked down shyly at Shen Yuan, "I don't know if you like it?"

Shen Yuan didn't speak. Sometimes actions speak louder than words, and he soon demonstrated through his actions whether he liked it or not.

For Chen Na, training was still on the agenda for the day. Logically, having been trained by Shen Yuan so many times, she should have made some progress, but it was like trying to carve rotting wood; only with slow and steady effort could anything worthwhile be shaped.

The room soon filled with the dense sounds of training. As a trainer, Shen Yuan was trying hard to impart everything he had learned over his lifetime.

Initially, Chen Na couldn't understand and silently endured the tedious training, lying on the table.

As the teacher Shen Yuan delved deeper into the knowledge, she gradually began to understand and then got immersed in the vast ocean of knowledge.

A session just perfectly lasted for 45 minutes. By the end, Chen Na felt as though her soul was drained, leaning on the sofa with a dazed look, "Shen Yuan, you've changed again."

"How so?"

Teacher Shen Yuan was tidying up the classroom.

Chen Na initially wanted to say 'you've gotten stronger' but changed her words to, "You seem to have bulked up, have you been working out lately?"

"Yeah, I've been trying to both gain weight and lose fat. I should be 73 kilograms now, 3 kilograms heavier than before."

"No wonder."

Feeling the increased intensity of the training session, Chen Na, somewhat overwhelmed, paused then said, "The soft furnishings for the new house are all set up. You gave me that 1 million, and I spent 930,000 of it, leaving 70,000. I'll transfer it back to you."

Shen Yuan paused, then couldn't help but laugh bitterly once he realized what she meant, "That 1 million wasn't meant for you to spend entirely on furnishings. I figured you'd spend maybe 600,000 or 700,000, and keep the rest for your pocket money."

Chen Na shook her head, "I don't need that much pocket money. The salary you pay me is enough for my expenses; I even manage to save some."

Shen Yuan sat down beside her, affectionately pinched her delicate nose, "Silly, I told you not to worry about saving money for me."

"I'm mainly thinking about the future when we'll have a baby, so I wanted to get better furniture, appliances, and cabinets."

Chen Na said somewhat wistfully.

"No worries, 930,000 on soft furnishings isn't too much."

Although 930,000 could buy an apartment in Star City, Shen Yuan really wasn't troubled about this amount right now. He just thought that Chen Na was being too earnest.

You should at least keep some money for yourself.

"Then keep that remaining 70,000 for your pocket money. If you're short on cash, just let me know," he added.

"I won't be needing it."

Chen Na shook her head, "You've already spent over 5 million on buying me a house and car, and last time you even spent 2 million helping my parents buy a house and car. That's too much money spent."

Shen Yuan smiled, thinking to himself that those 5 million had earned him over 10 million. Still, he replied by wrapping his arm around her shoulder, "It's what I should do, after all, you are my woman."

"Mhm."

"Speaking of which, there should be some smell in the room after setting up the soft furnishings, right? Did you call someone to check if there's any formaldehyde exceedance?"

Shen Yuan also looked forward to a life with children in the future, so he was concerned about the air quality of the new house.

"I bought non-toxic furniture and customized the cabinets from solid wood, I considered this issue too, and am treating it. The formaldehyde removal results should be ready in a couple of days," she responded.

"That's good."

Shen Yuan patted her cheek fondly; Nana took care of every little detail, never really letting him worry about such minor things.

Chen Na leaned contentedly against Shen Yuan's shoulder, then stretched out a leg and playfully nudged him, "Shen Yuan, give me another lesson, with higher stakes."

Chen Na wasn't particularly diligent or eager about lessons. Her main goal was to seize as many of Shen Yuan's small targets as possible.

Stimulated by her, Shen Yuan looked at the ulterior-motive-driven student and couldn't help but ask, "Know how to ride a horse?"

Chen Na's face instantly flushed a brilliant red, reluctantly she shook her head, "No, and I don't want to learn."

"You don't have a say!"

Shen Yuan promptly lifted her up.

The vivid training session began again, though this lesson seemed to be within Chen Na's comfort zone.

At first, Chen Na was highly reluctant, but with Shen Yuan's support, she gradually went from being awkward to confidently taking control, and in the end, she even managed to get a hold of Shen Yuan.

Lying on the sofa, Shen Yuan smiled knowingly; it turned out he hadn't developed her fully before—Nana actually had great talent for becoming a Knight.

....

The next day was Monday, and both the administrative department and the youth league committee at the university started their new day of work.

A female teacher from the youth league committee opened her office door, ready to welcome a new day.

However, as soon as the door opened, a swarm of students rushed in, nearly crushing her to death.

"Teacher, I'm here to submit my entrepreneurship application and business plan!"

"Teacher, teacher, where should I put this?"

"Teacher, I was here first, take mine first!"

"...."

The female teacher from the youth league committee felt a bit overwhelmed by the sudden influx of applicants; before, hardly anyone applied for entrepreneurship, so why were so many all of a sudden?

The students from the International campus were generally not very enterprising, and starting a business—which requires a lot of personal effort and isn't even guaranteed to be profitable—hadn't been very appealing to them.

Thus, she was slightly shocked by the scene before her. Had something happened at the university these last two days that I was unaware of?

She had been away on a short trip these last two days and indeed hadn't kept up with school events.

She looked around again and noticed they were all female students.

Then it all clicked for her.

Working in the youth league committee, she certainly knew who the sponsor of the entrepreneurship base was.
