I am not just a tycoon

Chapter 397: Chapter 304: It’s Their Fault

Even though a few had taken the initiative to greet him, there were still three or four who were too shy to speak, probably because of their personalities, and also because it was their first time in such a setting and the first time seeing so many “big shots.”

Especially the nurse next to Shen Yuan, she anxiously stared at the table, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her clothing.

Shen Yuan noticed that among the ten people present, she was the only one without makeup.

Even without makeup, she was still the most naturally beautiful one there, with delicate facial features and skin so tender it seemed like it could break with a touch. There was even a tear mole at the corner of her eye.

She was dressed in a simple dark gray spaghetti strap long dress, her collarbones clearly visible, revealing a large piece of fair skin at her chest.

Although her cleavage wasn’t exposed, the fullness alone was indicative of their impressive nature.

Compared to most of the nurses at the table, she was actually much more conservative, given that the others had squeezed out some cleavage and had all put on makeup.

“Chairman Shen, good day.”

Perhaps sensing that Shen Yuan’s gaze was fixed on her, she lowered her gaze and said, “My name is Qi Xi.”

Shen Yuan grunted in acknowledgment, thinking to himself that she obviously came from a respectable family, wondering how the hospital staff had managed to coax her into coming.

But the woman on Shen Yuan’s right wasn’t as shy, her greeting was more outgoing as she extended her delicate palm and showed a sweet smile, “Chairman Shen, good day. My name is Dong Ya, Ya is the character for ‘Asia’ next to the radical for ‘woman.'”

“Hello.”

Shen Yuan shook her hand, feeling the smoothness of her palm. However, the moment their palms touched, he suddenly felt an itch in his palm as Dong Ya’s finger gently hooked inside it, her eyes playfully looking at him.

Shen Yuan smirked and withdrew his hand, thinking to himself, this little girl, taking liberties with me without permission, probably unaware of the consequences.

It seemed that most of the nurses here came with an agenda, unlike Qi Xi who was still clueless.

That makes sense, as the nurses who had attended previous shareholder dinners were their seniors. Even if they had resigned to become some shareholder’s “canaries,” they surely would have told their experiences here.

Thus, they came here with the intent of climbing the social ladder, trying to curry favor with one of the shareholders.

It was a mutual rush, at least it wasn’t as repugnant as those patriarchal families in Korean movies.

But this beauty contest atmosphere really was something. Is the life of the rich and powerful always this unadorned?

“Chairman Shen, both Qi Xi and I are from the Star City branch. I heard you’re from Star City too?”

Dong Ya said with affection in her eyes, making no effort to hide her intentions.

Shen Yuan smiled and nodded, “Yes, I could tell from your accent, a strong local flavor.”

“I can’t help it, the dialect of Star City is too catchy. Actually, I’m from Zhu City, but I got a bit influenced after staying in Star City for a few years.”

Dong Ya leaned in close to Shen Yuan’s ear, her breath warm as she whispered, “But let me tell you, there are two girls from Liaobei opposite us, and their accents are even thicker.”

Dong Ya was very close, her mouth perhaps only 1-2 centimeters from Shen Yuan’s ear, him feeling the heat of her breath tickling and tingling his ear.

He glanced at Dong Ya subconsciously. Her flaxen hair fell naturally, her delicate oval face tilted towards him, her lips painted bright red, looking lusciously tempting.

She wore a tight short-sleeved sweater, and although it revealed less skin, its body-hugging style accentuated her bosom and slim waist exquisitely.

Nowadays, girls really know how to flirt… but Shen Yuan, used to being flirted with, casually replied, “The north is too far, beyond my reach. I prefer something closer.”

“Hmm?”

Dong Ya raised an eyebrow, “Chairman Shen, you meant ‘beyond reach’ in its literal sense, right?”

Shen Yuan chuckled knowingly, meeting her gaze, “Literal or not, depends on who’s interpreting it. What’s your interpretation?”

Dong Ya pursed her glossy lips and pretended to be demure as she sat up straight, “My interpretation is just the literal sense. Wonder if it’s what Chairman Shen meant.”

Shen Yuan gave a dry laugh and thought to himself, everyone’s an old fox here, still playing hard to get—how amusing.

Xie Chengbo felt bitter inside; the most beautiful nurses, Dong Ya and Qi Xi, were near Shen Yuan, and Dong Ya was even cheek to cheek with him.

Meanwhile, the two beside him—one was rather shy, and the other was heavily engaged in conversation with another shareholder next to her.

Damn it, it’s the same everywhere in this society, always shouting slogans about fairness, but when it comes down to sharing the cake, what fairness?

Soon, the shareholders and senior management began to arrive one by one. Zhu Lei and Sha Yongshan also took their seats, and the private dining room started serving food. Everyone had a little snack, then began to clink glasses relentlessly.

Of course, the first toasts were for Zhu Lei and Sha Yongshan, the number 1 and 2 figures of the corporation, but since they met almost every quarter, they exchanged pleasantries and then all turned to toast with Shen Yuan.

“Chairman Shen is really an outstanding young leader, I wish my son could learn from you.”

“Chairman Shen, here’s another toast to you. No problem, at your convenience, I’m doing this one.”

“Chairman Shen, I’m the general hospital director of the Central Region, Sun Shouqing. When will you come to Jiangcheng? Although our nightlife isn’t as lively as yours, the business K is quite good. I’ll show you a good time in Jiangcheng.”

In the “Today’s Drunkenness” private dining room, other than the initial toasting, the majority of the toasts revolved around Shen Yuan. After a round, not only was Shen Yuan’s stomach filled with alcohol, but his WeChat had also gained a dozen new contacts.
