Chapter 193: Chapter 192 Grasp
Shen Yuan was getting ready to leave when the administrative manager Kuang Rong “dong dong” knocked on the glass door.
“Co in,” Shen Yuan responded.
At about 30 years old, Kuang Rong was wearing a tight white blouse and a hip-hugging skirt. Judging by her figure, she was a woman who still had her charm and was also considered a beauty of Jingfu.
However, with the arrivals of Fu Yingzi and Liew nglu, her stature as the charming flower of the company had quickly declined.
“Mr. Shen, I’ve selected two locations for the team building according to your instructions. One is the sunset camp in Kaifu, from 9 AM to 9 PM, including a cooking competition, DIY barbecue, go-karting, real-life CS, grilling BBQ, KTV…”
Kuang Rong gave a slight nod, “This camp has the advantage of a great environnt and a variety of activities, and it’s also closer.”
“The other is rafting at Dawei Mountain. In the morning we play Monopoly in teams, followed by rafting in the afternoon, barbecue parties, bonfire nights, lawn concerts…”
“This one has more diverse activities, but it’s further away, a 3-hour round trip.”
Shen Yuan gave her a look, “What do you think?”
Kuang Rong pondered for a mont, “I suggest we choose the sunset camp because the team building is only for one day and everyone certainly doesn’t want to waste too much ti on the road. Moreover, most of the managent have families, they would surely want to get back ho earlier.”
“Alright, then let’s go with the sunset camp,” Shen Yuan agreed without much thought, although he wanted to try rafting. But since it was a team-building event, he had to consider the feelings and experiences of the majority.
But the na “sunset camp” sounded very familiar.
Right…
Suddenly, Shen Yuan rembered sothing and checked the middle school alumni group chat.
No wonder, the middle school reunion was also at the sunset camp.
Forget it, I’ll deal with it if we et.
Shen Yuan didn’t take it too seriously. What was ant to co would always co.
Kuang Rong discussed so details with Shen Yuan, then left the office. anwhile, Shen Yuan received a WeChat ssage from Qiao Lei.
“I’m going to your yoga studio to learn yoga. Can you get the studio manager to give a call?”
Shen Yuan, “Why suddenly pick up yoga?”
Qiao Lei, “Just felt like learning it suddenly, it’s an additional skill after all.”
Shen Yuan, “Alright, I’ll have her contact you.”
After sending the ssage to Qiao Lei, Shen Yuan didn’t think much of it and phoned Tong Wen, the yoga studio manager, asking her to get in touch with Qiao Lei.
It was the first ti Tong Wen had received a direct work order from Shen Yuan; she treated it as a matter of utmost importance and instantly called Qiao Lei.
At the International campus cafeteria, Qiao Lei smacked her tongue after hanging up, “I’m just learning yoga, but the studio manager has to call personally, and that manager will be teaching herself.”
Long Jinghan was not surprised at all, “Shen Yuan is her boss, and since you were introduced by him, of course she has to be careful.”
“Money brings too many attachnts. No wonder so many girls are throwing themselves at him,” Qiao Lei remarked, recalling her bank visit with Shen Yuan the previous day. “You should’ve seen the bank’s display; it was like they were receiving a leader.”
Long Jinghan smiled gently, “That’s also why we chose him.”
Qiao Lei’s gaze grew complex as she thought to herself how strange the world was. In the past, the idea of sharing a man with another girl in any form, she would have never agreed to it.
Yet, it had happened just the night before.
And she was even striving for it.
Indeed, it’s an era that scorns the poor but not the promiscuous.
…..
By 6 P.M., Shen Yuan arrived at Dongsheng Neighborhood.
“You’re so late.”
After Lih ng opened the door, she said indifferently, “Co in, the food is almost cold.”
Shen Yuan was holding a Balenciaga shopping bag and handed it over, “I was buying stockings for you.”
Upon hearing this, Lih ng’s expression softened slightly as she took the bag and looked inside, “Why did you buy so many?”
Lih ng rummaged through it; there were at least ten pairs inside.
She knew the price of Balenciaga stockings, over 2000 a pair, aning this bag totaled to over 20,000.
“There are also five pairs for your sister,” said Shen Yuan as he entered the room and changed into a pair of slippers.
“But my sister doesn’t wear stockings,” Lih ng pointed out.
Shen Yuan smiled, “How do you know she doesn’t?”
Psychologically speaking, black represents mystery, and black stockings wrapping around the legs not only accentuate the limbs but also provide visual implications that create an elusive allure.
Of course, this doesn’t apply to everyone, as there are so who prefer bare legs.
“I’m her sister, what don’t I know about her?” Lih ng replied, slightly miffed.
“I’ve never seen her wear them,” she grumbled.
“That was the past; it doesn’t speak for the future,” he said.
Shen Yuan approached the dining table and peered into the takeout bag; Lih ng had ordered quite a spread.
There was boiled shrimp, braised loach, chives with eggs, and even a dozen stead oysters.
Nowadays, no matter where I go, there’s always a woman thinking about nourishing my body… Shen Yuan shook his head.
“Why are there so with letters?”
Lih ng ca over to Shen Yuan and said, “I can’t wear the ones with letters to work.”
Shen Yuan looked at her thoughtfully, “Who told you to wear them to work?”
Lih ng paused for a mont, then realizing, she cursed, “Shen Yuan, you scumbag!”
Rembering that ti in the car… the pair she wore to work, he had actually torn a hole in them, which made Lih ng feel very ashad and indignant.
Shen Yuan couldn’t be bothered to respond, opening the food containers to begin his al heartily.
“The dinner is all ordered for you, scumbag, do you think I’m like you, without a conscience, only thinking about myself?”
Lih ng sat down opposite Shen Yuan and said.
After dinner, Shen Yuan found the book “International Economics” from Lih Xiao’s bedroom, then opened the backpack on his panel and clicked on the learning card.
[Efficient Learning Card: During reading, you can rember everything you see and deeply imprint it in your mind. Each card lasts for one hour.]
The learning card is useful sure, but it consus a lot of spiritual power and has so side effects.
“International Economics” corresponds to the Investnt Managent section, and the task reward is Stanford’s Master of Science in Financial Mathematics knowledge embedded.
After clicking “Use,” his spirit imdiately beca focused, and his mind was also imbued with sothing indescribable, as if a certain tenacity enforced concentration.
anwhile, Lih ng was cleaning the table, then headed to the bathroom.
Forty minutes later, Lih ng ca out.
“Hey, Shen Yuan.”
Lih ng walked up to Shen Yuan and tossed her hair back, “Didn’t we agree you ca here to get things done? Why aren’t you in a hurry? My sister will be back soon.”
But Shen Yuan acted as if he heard nothing and saw nothing, focused on reciting the textbook.
“Fine, fine, fine, you’re going to play serious, huh?”
Lih ng sat next to the sofa, extending her leg clad in black silk, slowly stretching her foot toward Shen Yuan’s nose.
“?”
Shen Yuan’s gaze was interrupted, and to his surprise, what appeared in front of him was a pair of delicate and smooth… Damn it, how did it get to my nose!
“What are you doing?” Shen Yuan pressed her foot down.
“Doesn’t it sll good?”
Lih ng lay on the sofa, laughing delightfully.
Shen Yuan couldn’t help but give her a glance, noticing that she’d already changed outfits.
She wore a white T-shirt underneath, a small black suit jacket, and a black hip-hugging skirt.
Actually, Lih ng fitted the public aesthetic well, with a pretty face, fair skin, long legs, and a perky behind. Although her bust was small, it depends on who you compare her to.
She obviously couldn’t compare to teacher Lih Xiao.
But the second letter of the alphabet that barely peeks out was still considered quite adequate in the Hua nation.
What was key was her occupation as an air hostess, and coupled with her extre contrasts, Shen Yuan was indeed quite intrigued by her.
Lih ng had prepared herself to this extent, so she couldn’t care less and continued to tease him with her legs.
The issue was that Shen Yuan’s Efficient Learning Card still had 20 minutes left before expiring, and he had yet to morize the last chapter’s key points.
“Wait for , let finish the last chapter.”
“Look at what ti it is,” Lih ng said discontentedly, “It’s already 7 o’clock, my sister will be back by 9 o’clock.”
“There are still two hours left, that’s plenty of ti.”
After saying that, Shen Yuan ignored her and carried on reciting the textbook.
“You have to ti it so tightly; won’t you need to shower afterward, and won’t I?”
Lih ng discontentedly sat up from the sofa and walked into the bedroom, even locking the bedroom door from the inside.
“I won’t give it to you tonight, suffer!”
…..
Twenty minutes later, the ti on the Efficient Learning Card ran out, and Shen Yuan collapsed heavily on the sofa, feeling as if his soul had been scooped out.
He sat on the sofa for 10 minutes before he finally ca around.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for mastering all the important knowledge points of International Economics. The system will embed all knowledge from Stanford’s Master of Science in Financial Mathematics into the host’s brain within half an hour….]
Whoa, the reward is here.
Shen Yuan closed his eyes and quietly felt the knowledge and case studies flow into his mind like strands of cotton.
After absorbing all the knowledge, Shen Yuan took a deep breath, then rested on the sofa for a while.
He glanced at the ti; it was 7:40, plenty of ti. So he walked towards Lih ng’s room, subconsciously reaching for the door, only to find it locked from the inside.
Then he knocked, “It’s okay now.”
From inside ca Lih ng’s discontented voice, “I don’t want to anymore, just go!”
“Are you sure?” Shen Yuan asked again.
After waiting for a while with no response, Shen Yuan thought to himself that she was playing hard to get and said, “I’ll wait for you outside, if you don’t co out in 10 minutes, I’m leaving.”
For a girl like Lih ng, who has an addiction, it was very hard for her to resist. Even if she didn’t turn to Shen Yuan, she would have to take care of it herself.
Shen Yuan was confident that ever since Lih ng used the four-inch “fire extinguisher,” she’d never be able to go back to how she was before.
Her slender fingers, just one centiter, how could they compete with a four-centiter tool?
Even if she ordered tools online? How could those cold, lifeless tools compare to the warmth of a “fire extinguisher”?
As expected, after five minutes, Lih ng opened the bedroom door.
“Shen Yuan, co in,” Lih ng said at the door.
“Louder, I couldn’t hear you clearly,” Shen Yuan said playfully, absorbed in his phone.
“I said, please co inside,” Lih ng repeated.
Shen Yuan gave her a look, “What for?”
Lih ng looked at Shen Yuan with a lancholic gaze, her voice subdued, “To get things done.”
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow, “Get things done?”
Lih ng felt a torturous itch in her heart, she really wanted to curse Shen Yuan out, but she didn’t dare.
Because if she did, Shen Yuan wouldn’t do that thing.
“Shen Yuan, please, co inside,” Lih ng pleaded humbly.
“It’s not like that, why should I co inside? You need to be clear,” Shen Yuan continued to be unyielding.
Biting her lip and hesitating for a long ti, Lih ng finally said, “Co inside & , okay?”
Only then did Shen Yuan get up from the sofa, walked over to her, and lifted Lih ng’s chin, “It’s okay but, who am I to you?”
“You’re my… good friend,” Lih ng answered.
Shen Yuan shook his head.
“Are you my… casual partner?” Lih ng asked again.
Shen Yuan still shook his head.
With eyes brimming with water, Lih ng ventured, “You’re my… brother-in-law?”
Finally, Shen Yuan nodded, then his fingertips slid across her fair cheek emotionlessly, “Then do you know what to call later?”
“I…. know.”
“How should you call ?”
A massive wave of sha surged in Lih ng’s heart, and it seed as if tears were about to glisten under her dark eyes, “Brother-in-law, please…”
