I am not just a tycoon

After returning to the villa, Shen Yuan replied to some Weixin messages. The more he did, the wider the industries he was involved in, and the more social engagements he had to attend.

Among them were invitations from the International campus Principal Old Yang, from Teacher Li Old Tang of Liya, and from principals of Star City and Hemu Hospital.

He also received a message from Fu Yingzi asking if Shen Yuan wanted to attend a dinner because regional leaders were visiting Jingfu Health for inspection and research today. Fu Yingzi mentioned the leaders' ranks and positions.

Principal Old Yang definitely had his eye on more donations, but Shen Yuan politely declined. Teacher Li Old Tang wanted to express his gratitude for the previous donations. Shen Yuan felt it wasn't necessary and declined as well.

The principals of Star City and Hemu Hospital must have wanted to pay tribute, because Shen Yuan's role as the third shareholder of Hemu Medical had been made public.

Shen Yuan didn't much enjoy listening to flattery, so he refused that too.

As for the regional leaders, Shen Yuan looked at their ranks and positions, then delegated the task to Yu Jifeng and Sun Zhen. Now, he only attended in person if it was the district head Hua Zhongkui or someone of even higher rank.

Otherwise, it was all too bothersome, dealing with this department and that bureau.

Besides the social engagements, there were others like Wei Ming from the previous Liya alumni meeting, old classmates Jin Kangwen, Cherng Xian, and Hemu minor shareholder Xie Chengbo, all inviting him out to have fun.

They just wanted to go to bars, clubs, or golf courses. Shen Yuan currently wasn't interested and turned them all down.

Additionally, the second shareholder of Hemu, Sha Yongshan, invited him to inspect the work in Shanghai. It was supposed to be an inspection, but he guessed it would just be a fun trip aimed at currying favor with him.

Just like Old Zhu.

Currently, the largest shareholder and CEO of Hemu Medical was Zhu Lei. He once promised Shen Yuan to hand over the group to him in five years and to sell him some shares.

However, last time Zhu Lei's daughter, Zhu Qingrou, inadvertently revealed some information. Shen Yuan then knew that Zhu Lei was planning to prepare his own son for succession.

So, he decided to stabilize Old Zhu while also stabilizing himself, then gradually support his son to ascend, playing a cunning game.

Since Old Zhu was untrustworthy and still wanted to use him, Shen Yuan wouldn't be passive.

Shen Yuan checked Zhu Qingrou's Weixin and saw pictures of a Taylor Swift concert set for the day after tomorrow.

Zhu Qingrou had borrowed 20,000 yuan from Shen Yuan last time just to attend this concert.

"Old Zhu, Old Zhu, when the time comes, we'll be calling each other father-in-law and son-in-law—no need for double talk then, right?"

Shen Yuan thought this to himself, then sent a message to Ji Ya asking her to book the flight and hotel in Shanghai for the day after tomorrow.

He then messaged Old Sha, telling him he would be in Shanghai the day after tomorrow.

For Shen Yuan, the trip to Shanghai was officially for business, but he also planned to take in the sights of China's economic hub.

He wanted to see the Bund and the Oriental Pearl Tower, experience the traditional architecture flavored with the essence of Jiangnan waterside towns and Shanghai culture, stroll along Huaihai Road and Xujiahui, and enjoy Shanghai's nightlife.

However, a trip wasn't complete without female company. Which NPC should he bring?

Chen Na and Xinyu had already gone with him to Diannan once, Class Belle had accompanied him to Yanjing, Teacher Lih was working, Lih Meng couldn't take long leave, and Liew Menglu had received his favor these past few days…

Mrs. Lin was traveling, Dong Ya wasn't at that level yet, Qi Xi was even less developed, Su Xuewei… could work, but her personality was too subdued, not suitable for traveling.

Junior Wei Ke'er… Shen Yuan thought of her for no reason, but she was in her senior year of high school, and seemed to be underage too.

That left Zhou Peiwei and Luo Bingying.

One a youthful unbeatable beauty, the other an icy beauty with a fiery heart; conveniently, both were studying in Yanjing, so a trip to Shanghai would be easy for them.

It might be a good chance to see if he could conquer one.

If he could conquer both friends, that'd be even better.

Shen Yuan decided to act immediately and sent a message to Zhou Peiwei: "I'm going to Shanghai for business the day after tomorrow. Want to hang out for a few days?"

After sending the message, Shen Yuan felt everything was falling into place and couldn't help but yawn.

He always felt sleepy in the afternoon without a nap, so he stood up and stretched.

As he straightened up, Shen Yuan felt a presence behind him, two voluptuous forms pressing against him, and a pair of soft arms wrapping around him: "Husband, I missed you so~"

With that sweet, soft voice, the unique address, the full softness pressing against him, and her slender, firm arms, Shen Yuan didn't even need to guess.

"That was quick, wasn't it?"

"Mhm, I missed you too much."

"Missing me is fine, but can you not start by trying to pull my pants down... Looks like you're really hungry."
