I am not just a tycoon

Chapter 188 Where is this? The boss has a basketball team.

The next morning, 8 AM.

In the Caroline Astor Suite on the 45th floor of the St. Regis Hotel.

Shen Yuan groggily woke up, his first instinct being to stretch his arms and rub his eyes, but both arms were pinned down.

Confused, Shen Yuan turned his head left and right, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Last night's activities had been quite intense.

Even with the System's enhancements, Shen Yuan still felt as if his body had been hollowed out.

Three times in one day, for a total of eight rounds—even Schwarzenegger himself might find it tough, right?

Plus, each round was high intensity, never less than thirty minutes.

Today, he absolutely had to replenish his energy, and by a large margin!

The two sweet girls were currently snuggled up in Shen Yuan's arms, sleeping soundly.

Long Jinghan's sleeping face was very pleasant to look at, her cheeks still flushed with color, her expression peaceful with hints of contentment.

However, Qiao Lei was like a child, tossing and turning in her sleep, occasionally pulling the blanket or pillowing herself on Shen Yuan and then embracing him as though hugging a large bear, keeping Shen Yuan awake until after 2 AM.

The final sleeping position was both girls resting in the crook of Shen Yuan's arms, which left his arms numb.

Shen Yuan struggled to extricate his arms, then rubbed Qiao Lei's prey and patted Long Jinghan's buttocks.

"Babes, time to get up!"

Qiao Lei turned over groggily, "I want to sleep a bit more."

Long Jinghan, on the other hand, sat up sleepily, struggling to lift her eyelids, "Okay."

After last night's session, the Feel-good Index of both junior sisters had increased.

Long Jinghan's Feel-good Index rose to 72, while Qiao Lei's Feel-good Index rose to 66.

Well, it would be best to maintain this in the future, so that the Feel-good Index of both junior sisters could be increased together, making progress hand in hand.

It also saved him the trouble of tutoring them separately.

Shen Yuan got up to wash and even took a hot shower, washing away all the fatigue into the drain.

Since he started working out, even after intense activity and staying up late, he recovered quite quickly.

His Health Points had now reached 87, and his immunity was 84.

In two more days, Shen Yuan would be able to reach Peang Yuyan's perfect form.

By then, these two values might rise to 90.

Long Jinghan silently dried Shen Yuan's back and whispered softly, "Leilei is still sleeping. Shall we go have the buffet breakfast, or should we ask the room manager to deliver it to our room?"

Shen Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, "So after last night, you two have gotten so close that you're already on 'Leilei' terms?"

Long Jinghan blushed, "Um... wasn't that what you asked us to call each other last night?"

"Oh, right, seems like it was."

Shen Yuan smacked his forehead, having forgotten what he said the night before.

One "Leilei," one "Hanhan," last night was indeed blissful.

"Let's call for it to be delivered here. Order Qiao Lei's portion too; maybe she'll wake up soon."

"Okay."

While eating breakfast with Long Jinghan, Shen Yuan decided to check if Fang Minhui was up, so he sent her a message on WeChat.

However, there was no reply from her; she was probably still enjoying her sleep-in.

After breakfast, Shen Yuan said, "You look after Qiao Lei when she wakes up. You can ask the room manager to arrange a car for the return trip."

Long Jinghan nodded obediently, "Okay."

Having given his instructions, Shen Yuan dressed and left the St. Regis, heading to the Grand Hyatt to work out.

Back in the suite, Long Jinghan looked at the still-slumbering Qiao Lei and pondered that from now on, the two of them were bound together.

On the bright side, Shen Yuan's time with them should increase appropriately; on the downside, they would only have shared time.

Ah—

Was this a good thing or a bad thing?

——

Shen Yuan arrived at the Grand Hyatt at 9:20 AM; Coach Liew was already dressed in workout gear waiting for him in the room.

"First time being late."

Liew Menglu raised her chin, handing over workout clothes, "Did you have a late night last night?"

"Sort of," responded Shen Yuan casually as he took the clothes to change.

Seeing Shen Yuan's physique, Liew Menglu was somewhat surprised, "How come it feels like you've reduced your workouts recently but your body fat has actually decreased?"

"Maybe that's just talent," said Shen Yuan.

By now, his body fat had reached 11%, which was a considerable improvement. Liew Menglu, being a fitness coach, could easily tell.

"You haven't been sneaking in workouts without me, have you?" Coach Liew asked suspiciously.

Shen Yuan smiled knowingly, "I work out every night."

Liew Menglu clicked her tongue, "No wonder. But by the looks of it, the intensity must be quite high."

"You're well aware of my intensity," Shen Yuan said, slapping her buttocks.

"Go easy," she said, rubbing her bottom and then sighing, "It's a shame that it's not me working out with you every night."

"What are you thinking? Is the small goal I set for you not enough?"

"How is it enough..." Liew Menglu was about to complain but Shen Yuan interrupted her.

"Okay, let's not talk about that right now," he said, straightening his expression. "I've already arranged your position; you can start in the next couple of days, or you can come with me to the company later to complete the paperwork."

Increasing company profits required collective effort and an outsider to identify and address issues for improvement.

It might not have a huge impact, but having one more person analyze things from another angle would surely be better.

Liew Menglu, with her years of experience as a fitness coach and consistently good performance, was part of Shen Yuan's plan to boost profits.

Besides, Shen Yuan's birthday was coming up in a few days, and he was going to take Nana and Xinyu on a trip. He might not have time to look after the company, so Coach Liew was a perfect fit to keep an eye on things.

Liew Menglu's eyes brightened, "Okay, thank you, hubby."

She was happy to be involved. She was worried about being unnecessary to Shen Yuan. Although she couldn't bear children for him, being able to assist in his business endeavours was a pleasing thought.

"....."

Shen Yuan now exercised every other day, keeping it to one hour and at reduced intensity.

It focused mainly on aerobic exercise, supplemented by some anaerobic. Read exclusive content at empire

In the past, it was always cardio plus heavy weightlifting, so now this was easy for Shen Yuan.

One could tell from the amount of sweating—before, sweat would soak his entire body and drip nonstop from his face.

But today, only a small area of his vest was wet, and his face wasn't as sweaty.

Liew Menglu handed over a towel, "Wipe yourself."

"Okay."

Meanwhile, Fang Minhui had just left the hotel and was preparing to go back to school.

Today she felt a bit guilty for assuming Shen Yuan wouldn't wake up early, yet he had messaged her first thing in the morning. In contrast, she had overslept.

What a pity, she could have had breakfast with Yuan Babe~

Fang Minhui walked to the entrance of the hotel to wait for her car, but then she noticed two girls nearby who seemed familiar.

The shorter girl looked young but had snow-white skin and a good figure—the word for it, what was it?

Right, "baby-faced with big breasts."

The taller girl was slender and attractive, clad in a white maxi dress, also pretty good-looking.

Seemed to be from the International campus too?

Fang Minhui suddenly remembered seeing the younger-looking girl at a cosplay event on campus before.

So they were all schoolmates.

They were even holding several shopping bags from luxury brands—it looked like they'd done some serious shopping the day before.

Fang Minhui couldn't help but send a WeChat to Shen Yuan, "Yuan Babe, guess who I saw at the International campus?"

Shen Yuan had just returned from the gym to the hotel and felt a sudden jolt in his heart upon seeing the message.

Did they bump into each other?

"Who?" Shen Yuan replied through a message.

Fang Minhui replied, "Two pretty girls, and they're from our school too."

Shen Yuan calmly responded, "No matter how pretty, they definitely can't be more beautiful than my Hui Babe."

Seeing the WeChat, Fang Minhui smiled happily, typing with both hands, "You sure know how to talk. But they're not bad either, one has white skin and a nice figure, the other is tall and also beautiful."

Shen Yuan thought to himself that the girls he picked were never of low quality. He paused before replying, "Since you say they're good-looking, they must be. Go ask for their WeChat for me."

After seeing this WeChat, Fang Minhui's mouth puckered, and she quickly typed back with both hands, "Shen Yuan! You big bad guy!"

Shen Yuan: "Hahaha, just kidding."

Fang Minhui: "Who's joking with you about that/emjio.angry/"

"....."

"Is it her?"

Not only Fang Minhui noticed the two, Qiao Lei noticed her as well.

"It should... maybe... is probably her." Long Jinghan wasn't too sure either.

However, this girl seemed to be in the same class as Shen Yuan, and she also stayed at the hotel last night, so it was very likely her.

"Is she the official girlfriend?" Qiao Lei whispered.

"I don't know."

Jinghan also felt a sour feeling in her heart.

Qiao Lei couldn't help but sigh, "I really want to go talk to her."

Jinghan looked at her, "Don't do something foolish."

Qiao Lei was indignant, "I just think it's unfair, why does Shen Yuan treat her so well."

This time Jinghan didn't answer. With a complex look at the girl nearby, she too didn't understand why Shen Yuan treated her so well.

Just then, the first black GL8 from the hotel came by, the driver lowered the window and leaned out to ask, "Which one is Miss Fang?"

"It's me."

Fang Minhui raised her hand and then slung her bag over her shoulder as she got into the back seat.

Once the GL8 drove away, Qiao Lei said sourly, "See, even the hotel's car picks her up first."

Long Jinghan stared at the car's receding figure, lost in thought, "Ours will come soon too."

According to the rules of St. Regis Hotel, when a customer needed a car, the room manager was supposed to escort them to the vehicle. However, Zhu Qin dared not go over in the hotel lobby.

If something went wrong, would Mr. Shen not finish him off?

.....

At 11 o'clock, Shen Yuan brought Liew Menglu to Jingfu.

When the employees of Jingfu saw the boss followed by an extremely beautiful woman with a great figure, they all couldn't help but look their way.

This woman is so pretty!

She wore a beige fitted dress that gracefully showcased her fair arms and her slender legs.

Not only was she curvy, but her accessories also stood out, like her bracelet and the hairband matching the color scheme of her dress.

The woman appeared very approachable and composed, with a gentle smile on her face as she walked by.

"She must be the boss's woman too...." someone muttered under their breath.

"Which number is she?"

"Seems like the third one."

"The boss is still the boss... never seen him with a woman who wasn't beautiful."

"Exactly, each one more beautiful than the last."

"Tch, the great law of capital."

While the employees whispered among themselves, Fu Yingzi also took notice of this woman.

But she wasn't concerned, thinking to herself just how far things had gotten for them to be so surprised?

If they knew the boss actually recruited an entire basketball team at school...

And if you add Fang Minhui and his other women outside of school, even Fu Yingzi didn't know how many women he had.

Huh? Something seemed off?

The boss only brought this woman and Long Jinghan to the company, wasn't it just two?

Where did the third woman that her colleagues mentioned come from?

Fu Yingzi asked the dark-skinned glasses-wearing man at the adjacent workstation, "Xiaohei, isn't it just two? Who is this third woman they're talking about?"

The man known as "Xiaohei" stopped typing on his keyboard, turned his head blankly, and said, "Are you really clueless or just pretending? Isn't that woman you?"

Fu Yingzi: "?"
