"Compared to me, they like my brother better. He’s got good grades and a nice personality. Last time I heard from my mom, my dad plans on letting my brother intern at the company right after he graduates."
Shen Yuan nodded thoughtfully, then continued to ask, "And what about your younger brother and you?"
"We’re no good, neither our grades nor our willingness to join his company."
"Oh, I see."
With that, Shen Yuan added Zhu Qingrou on WeChat and transferred 20,000 yuan to her.
As she was leaving, Zhu Qingrou clung to the car window and said earnestly, "This is our secret, right?"
Shen Yuan nodded with a smile, "Of course, I won’t tell your dad."
"That’s good."
Having said that, Zhu Qingrou turned and left.
Shen Yuan admired her plump peachy butt, thinking that Old Zhu is, after all, a Chinese, with the traditional idea of "following the father’s career."
"I really thought that once you retired, you’d hand over the business to others, but it turns out you old currency, you played a secret trick on me!"
On closer thought, after Old Zhu’s retirement, the default successor for the head of the company would be Sha Yongshan. Whether it was about shares or capability, that’s the group’s consensus, and even publicly, Old Zhu was supporting Sha Yongshan.
Sha Yongshan himself must have been aware of this, otherwise he wouldn’t have tested me during our last meeting.
However, if Shen Yuan really cooperates with Old Zhu, he’d certainly be pushed to the forefront, inevitably creating some unnecessary "conflicts" with Sha Yongshan.

While Old Zhu "supports" Sha Yongshan on one hand, he colludes with me on the other, watching me and Sha Yongshan fight it out, only to slowly promote his own son.
"This cunning old dog, quite sinister indeed!"
I originally had no intention of getting involved in this muddy water, but since you insisted on dragging me into it, don’t blame me for not playing nice!
You make use of me, I’ll mess with your daughter!
The hotel driver saw Zhu Qingrou leave and hurried back to the driver’s seat, then asked, "Mr. Shen, shall we head back now?"
"Yeah, let’s go back!"
...
It was almost 9 p.m. when he returned, and Shen Yuan called Sun Shouqing, the head of the Central China region, asking for assistance with Dong Ya’s matter.
It was definitely an overkill for a regional head to deal with such a trivial matter, but Shen Yuan had no choice as he didn’t know anyone else of lower status in He Mu in the Central China region.
Sun Shouqing readily agreed and even invited Shen Yuan to visit Jiangcheng. Shen Yuan exchanged a few pleasantries and said he would visit when he had time.
The next day, Shen Yuan spent another day with the class belle in Yanjing. Due to traffic, the two spent about a third of their time in the car.
There were also many tourists at the scenic sites, mostly middle-aged and elderly people, who seem to have a penchant for clocking in visits to Yanjing.
Old Shen certainly did, he used to say he wanted to travel to Yanjing when he had the time, to see the Tian’anmen Gate, visit the ancient palace, and climb the Great Wall.
Their wish had finally come true, as their current 15-day, three-city trip included Yanjing.

Fang Minhui wasn’t particularly concerned; she didn’t care where they went or what they did, as long as Shen Yuan was with her.
The next day, Shen Yuan took Fang Minhui back, with He Mu Medical Group arranging for Lu Hong and the COO to see them off at the airport, a common courtesy.
At 3 p.m., the driver Old Xiang arrived in the Alphard to pick them up from the airport. Shen Yuan dropped Fang Minhui off at her residential complex, then prepared to leave, but Fang Minhui threw herself into his arms, cooing, "Yuan Babe, make sure you come to see me often."
Shen Yuan said helplessly, "We’ve been together for four or five days now, aren’t you sick of me?"
"Not at all, not one bit."
Fang Minhui tilted up her pretty face, "You’re not getting sick of me after just four or five days, are you? You fickle guy."
"A proper distance is the preservative of love."
Shen Yuan patted Fang Minhui’s buttocks, "Off you go, you need rest. Your sister needs a break too. She’s been working hard for at least 4 to 5 hours a day these past few days and she’s exhausted."
"You rogue!"
Fang Minhui spat at him, grabbed her suitcase and shopping bags, and turned to leave.
When he arrived back at his villa, it was already past 4 p.m. After the Alphard pulled up to the door, Old Xiang greeted him and drove off. Shen Yuan stretched, taking in the air of the garden.
"There’s nothing like Star City, the air is so much fresher!"
Ji Ya had been waiting at the entrance for a long time, dressed in a professional suit with black stockings, bowing deeply.
"Welcome home, Mr. Shen!"
"Dispense with the formalities."
Shen Yuan walked past and slapped Ji Ya on the butt, then handed her the suitcase, "Let’s talk inside, and then prepare something for me to eat. The food on the plane was terrible."
Ji Ya exclaimed in surprise, it had been a long time since Mr. Shen had slapped her butt, and she was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
Rubbing her bottom and following in her clacking high heels, she said, "Sure, Mr. Shen, what would you like to eat? Shall I decide?"
"You decide."
Shen Yuan waved his hand and then sat down at the dining table.
The kitchen was open, so as Ji Ya cooked she reported, "I’ve already informed the people from China Merchants Bank to come tomorrow morning to handle the transfer. Once the transfer is complete, the Koenigsegg can be driven back tomorrow afternoon."
"Good."
"The construction of the foreign-style house has started; the main construction will take about 3 to 5 months."
"Good."
"Your parents and uncle and aunt have already arrived at the second destination of this trip. According to the local guide, everything is fine."
"Good."
After listening to Ji Ya’s report and smelling the delicious aromas from the kitchen, Shen Yuan informed Zhou Peiwei that she could come over with her "bodyguard" for fitness training tomorrow morning.
He was about to notify the other NPCs of his return when Dong Ya called, and Shen Yuan immediately answered.
