I am not just a tycoon

"Three of us to move a cabinet? The hallway is too narrow for three, and besides, don't I need to watch out for bumps and scratches?"

Shen Yuan snapped back unapologetically.

"You scoundrel, slacking off is bad enough, but your excuses are high and mighty!"

Huang Haibao grumbled, wishing he could thrash Shen Yuan if it weren't for the fact that he was in the middle of moving a filing cabinet.

Although he wouldn't win alone, Old Cao was right there!

After Shen Yuan had directed them to move the filing cabinet out, he went to help Lih Xiao clean up some clutter.

Just as he was about to squat down, he suddenly noticed that Lih Xiao's Feel-good Index seemed to have changed.

[Feel-good Index: 67]

Shen Yuan clearly remembered that when he had first entered the office, Lih Xiao's Feel-good Index had been at 65.

This...

Just that moment had improved the Feel-good Index?

Shen Yuan was somewhat stunned.

Since they had been very close just now, Shen Yuan's body had indeed slightly touched Lih Xiao.

Of course, it wasn't his fault for being too long; it was mainly because Lih Xiao's buttocks were indeed very perky. If it had been any girl who was a bit flatter, Shen Yuan feared he wouldn't have reached.

But thinking about it, this was good news. A higher Feel-good Index was always better for him, since reaching 90 could yield quite a few rewards.

It looked like he should visit Lih Xiao, the adviser, more often, fostering their relationship for future benefits.

Fifteen minutes later, Lih Xiao's desk, filing cabinets, including documents and textbooks, were all moved next door.

Shen Yuan and Lih Xiao were fine since they moved lighter items, but Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin, who had moved heavier things, were visibly exhausted and drenched in sweat.

Shen Yuan acted high and mighty, "Look at the state you two are in. You can't always stay in the dorm; you should exercise more like me."

Huang Haibao, seeing Shen Yuan's smug face, really wanted to tear his mouth apart if it weren't for Lih Xiao being there.

We're moving what, and you're moving what? Don't you know that in your heart?

"Thanks for your hard work, all three of you. Let me treat you to some drinks."

Lih Xiao, seeing how the three had worked hard and were now sweating profusely, felt quite sorry for them and offered to treat them.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"ojbk!"

"Then let's go to the convenience store!"

Afterwards, Lih Xiao went to the convenience store to buy drinks for the three of them and then returned to the office building, while Shen Yuan and the others went back to the dorm.

Back at the dorm, Huang Haibao couldn't resist gossiping, "Old Third, did you feel that the adviser was a bit off today?"

Huang Haibao recalled that when they had just arrived at the office, Lih Xiao looked somewhat uneasy, even a bit flustered and shy like a young woman.

This was something they had never seen before.

Cao Shunjin felt the same and couldn't help saying, "Yes, I noticed too, but I didn't dare to ask."

Cao Shunjin and Huang Haibao's perceptions were still stuck in high school, where students naturally revered their teachers.

A student-teacher relationship is just that, and respecting teachers is a given.

But now they were almost seniors heading into society, and whether it was students or teachers, the relationship wasn't as rigid as before.

However, Shen Yuan had always interacted with teachers on an equal footing, never feeling they were superior, so his communication was always harmonious.

So seeing Shen Yuan joking freely with the adviser and some course teachers, Cao Shunjin and Huang Haibao were quite envious.

"How come I didn't notice? I think it's the same as before, nothing different."

Shen Yuan casually responded.

He of course knew what was up, but he obviously couldn't tell these two dummies that he had accidentally poked the adviser a bit with his stuff!

Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin started to doubt themselves, "Could it be that we were mistaken?"

"You guys definitely got it wrong!"

Shen Yuan exchanged a few more idle words with the two, then climbed onto his bed to take a nap.

Before sleeping, he checked the recent tasks he needed to do.

Besides attending classes, there were actually quite a few things.

First, the renovations at the speakeasy had begun, and he needed to start dealing with the exploration videos and promotions.

Next, Chen Na was already processing her resignation, and they had to begin managing the café's premises.

Moreover, he had ordered a Defender last week and had to pick up the car on Friday.

As Shen Yuan pondered these, he unwittingly drifted into sleep….

...

...

About eight hundred meters from the International campus south gate, there's a café named "MS."

Apart from coffee, this spot is also a mini leisure club where one can play cards, chat, and play board games, among other activities.

Students from well-off families at International usually liked to hang out here.

For some reason, even though business was good, a "Transfer of Prosperous Business" sign had been posted.

That Saturday afternoon, Li Zhanpeng drove his newly acquired BMW 3 Series, carrying a roommate and two girls from his class to this café.

After Fang Minhui had rejected him, he had quickly recovered from that failed relationship and was ready to target other girls.

The whole world abounds with beautiful grass; why pine for one single flower?

The two girls with him didn't match Minhui's standard, but they were passable.

They were worth giving a try.

One of the girls was named Wei Yanyan; she was fairly average-looking but knew how to dress up—wearing heavy makeup and false eyelashes, dressed quite boldly, she could barely pass for a six out of ten.

As soon as Wei Yanyan sat down, she began fishing for a topic: "Li Zhanpeng, how much did you pay for that car?"

Li Zhanpeng replied indifferently, "Not much, just 280,000 fully paid."

"Wow~ 280,000 and that's not expensive to you!"

"That's nothing."

Li Zhanpeng waved it off; he had gotten over the initial phase of showing off his new car. His vanity threshold had increased, and the usual flattery no longer satisfied him.

Of course, if it had been Minhui making those remarks, maybe he would have been thrilled, but these two girls didn't cut it.

"You're too modest, driving a BMW before even graduating, surpassing over 99 percent of our classmates already."

Wei Yanyan said, smiling supportively.

The other girl, with a cute style and dressed in a Lolita outfit, named Weng Meiyun, chimed in: "Not just 99 percent, at least 99.99 percent."

"Heh, yet some people still look down on BMWs."

Li Zhanpeng, still upset, said, recalling Minhui's indifferent tone during that party.

I'm only 21 and driving a BMW; what's lacking?

Why the disdain?

"No way, she looks down on BMWs too? Is her family well off?"

Wei Yanyan was slightly surprised, thinking such guys with a good background should be grabbed early on—after all, competition only gets tougher outside school.

Li Zhanpeng shook his head: "Just a ordinary family."

Wei Yanyan suddenly felt it was kind of funny: "Really? Are there still people living in a fairytale world nowadays?" Stay connected with empire
