I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 639 - 396: Detestable, Charitable, Complementary_2
But in Chang Ting's eyes, Dai Lu's words were seen as disrespectful.
What are you acting so smug about? You're just a worker, relying on your good looks and daring to disrespect the company heir?
Already annoyed by Dai Lu stealing the spotlight, now she found her even more disagreeable.
At the golf tee-off, when Qian Zihao began to swing, Chang Ting finally couldn't hold back: "Sister Dai Lu, you agreed to come golfing with President Qian, why do you have to set yourself so high? It's unnecessary, isn't it?"
Dai Lu calmly took a sip of water, then looked over at this female colleague from the administration department and said lightly, "Are you feeling injustice on behalf of President Qian? I accepted his kindness, how does it benefit you?"
Chang Ting choked on her words, realizing she was right. If she ended up with President Qian, wouldn't I stand no chance at all?
But she still found Dai Lu unpleasant to look at, so proud, way too proud!
"So, do you dislike President Qian? If you don't like him, then don't lead him on, and don't agree to come out for appointments like this."
Chang Ting felt as if she'd lost momentum and still wanted to regain some ground.
Dai Lu glanced at her disdainfully, ignoring her completely and turning to chat with another girl instead.
Wait, did that look just now mean she was looking down on me? Chang Ting felt a pang in her chest.
Dai Lu seemed to get along well with the girl wearing glasses, easily engaging in a bustling conversation.
Meanwhile, Chang Ting was feeling miserable. Qian Zihao was playing golf, the girl with glasses was chatting with Dai Lu, and the remaining two guys were discussing watches and cars.
Why aren't you guys flirting with a high-quality single woman like me and instead talk about useless things? Serves you right for being single!
"You must go to bed early, drink a big glass of water when waking up in the morning... and also, maintain exercise 3-4 times a week, I promise it will greatly improve your skin."
Dai Lu was sharing skincare tips, noting that the effects of skincare products are limited and that rest and exercise were crucial.
Simply discussing these tips, she could go on for an hour without pause.
Actually, she didn't want to come to this golf event at first.
It was just that her mom came to visit over the weekend, and for the past two days, kept nagging her about the significance and importance of dating and marriage, even pushing her to meet some so-called high-quality candidates.
Unable to take it anymore, especially when Qian Zihao invited her to play golf, she impulsively agreed without much thought.
She only agreed to Sunday's game on Saturday night, and of course, Chang Ting was unaware of her decision.
In Dai Lu's eyes, Qian Zihao had good qualifications, tall and slim with decent facial features.
Already a deputy director in his early 30s, he was driving a Mercedes GLS worth over a million. Importantly, his uncle was the company president.
With no sons and only a daughter who had gone abroad, Qian Zihao was highly likely to succeed his uncle.
Not to mention, Qian Zihao was a hot commodity in this company. Even taken to the matchmaking market, he would be a top-tier catch, likely causing a frenzy among eager parents.
But even with someone so outstanding, Dai Lu still wasn't interested.
Something was missing, always feeling like something was missing.
Perhaps it was the lack of that sparking connection, maybe his looks and physique weren't her type, or perhaps it was the lack of humor.
Whenever Dai Lu thought of "matchmaking," "romance," "men and women," "marriage," she would always picture Shen Yuan's frivolous face.
Such an annoying guy! Always taking advantage when least expected, and afterward, talking as if he was the one who had been taken advantage of.
Dai Lu knew he was also in Star City; Lin Yuchang had sent her his WeChat contact. In the still of the night, she tried adding him, but when it came to sending the verification message, she hesitated.
It felt like there were two little people standing on her shoulders, the left one warning, "That man is an abyss, once you fall in, you won't be able to get out!"
And the right one encouraging, "Life is about enjoying the moment, go and try what you're interested in, what's there to be afraid of!"
....
Songhu Tiandi.
After freshening up, Shen Yuan sat at the dining table.
Chen Xinyu had already gone to school, leaving only him and Chen Na.
The maid, Sister Zhang, had arrived early and prepared the breakfast, including toasted bread, boiled and scrambled eggs, croissants, bacon, and Turing sausages.
There was also a hot glass of milk in front of him.
"Isn't this all my favorite food?" Shen Yuan's appetite was boosted.
"Yes, Ji Ya told me recently you've liked these foods, so I asked Sister Zhang to prepare them."
"Come here, reward me with a kiss."
Shen Yuan was about to kiss Chen Na, but she shyly dodged to the side.
After some playful moments, Shen Yuan began to eat heartily while Chen Na began to share her thoughts on a "Claw Machine" movie she watched yesterday.
"Shen Yuan, I don't want our child to be burdened with excessive expectations."
"Oh?"
"Watching the latter half of the movie yesterday, I felt so sorry for Ma Jiye. Deceived by his own family and enduring hardships, his father still believed that experiencing difficulties was necessary for growth, which made him miss the ideal age for sports training and lose any chance of becoming an athlete."
"Children don't necessarily need to follow in their parent's footsteps; they should pursue their own dreams."
Chen Na's eyes shone with a motherly glow, and she became more sentimental.
Shen Yuan didn't watch much of the movie last night; the first half was all comedic scenes, but he understood what Nana said.
He already has the System, so he can set up a trust for the kids later. If food and clothing aren't an issue, there's no need to try hard.
"Don't worry, I won't let our kids suffer."
Shen Yuan rubbed her head.
"Uh-huh."
....
During breakfast, Ji Ya drove the Alphard to Songhu Tiandi as Shen Yuan didn't feel like driving in the morning, so he asked her to come and be the driver.
Once in the second row, Ji Ya said, "Boss, there's a phone meeting at 9:40 about a charity donation. Long Jinghan, Yu Jifeng from the foundation will attend and report to you. Also, there are some decisions that you need to make."
"Okay, what time is it now?"
This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.
"It's 9:20 sharp, it takes about 40 minutes to get to the golf course, and the phone meeting is 30 minutes, so the timing is about right."
"Okay."
Shen Yuan nodded, thinking of Jinghan, that girl; he simply picked up his phone and dialed a video call to her.
It rang several times, the video connected, but the viewable scene was very limited; only Jinghan's hair and part of her face were visible.
The other large blank area was her office background; as a little boss of the foundation, she now had her own small office.
"What are you doing, acting all sneaky?"
"Nothing... I'm working."
Jinghan whispered.
"We are an old married couple now, how are you still so shy, not even showing your whole face?"
"Senior brother!"
Before Jinghan could respond, suddenly, a fair face squeezed into the video, tilting her head and saying, "Why did you suddenly video call senior sister and not me?"
"I have work-related things to discuss with her." Shen Yuan explained.
"It's not that, your meeting doesn't start until 9:40, and it's only 9:20 now."
"Can't I communicate in advance? Besides, you should be at your post during work hours, why are you here, deserting your post, be careful I deduct your salary!"
"Can't I come here for work communication?" Qiao Lei retorted.
"Talking nonsense, what work relation does a web operations department have with the foundation?"
"There is a relation!"
That's how Qiao Lei was, when unreasonable, her loud voice seemed to make her sound right.
"Alright, let me have a word with Jinghan, you can kneel and leave."
"Not happening! Senior brother, don't you miss me? Why don't you call me usually."
"Okay, I miss you."
Shen Yuan knew he wouldn't get a chance to speak with Jinghan if he didn't appease her.
"How do you miss me? Where did your thoughts wander?"
Qiao Lei pursued.
"I miss doing ML with you, miss your NZ, alright?"
Qiao Lei's face immediately turned red from anger: "Senior brother, you are such a rogue!"
"You asked me, I had to answer honestly."
After teasing Qiao Lei, Shen Yuan finally started talking to Jinghan: "Look how directly Qiao Lei expresses her feelings, can't you learn a bit from her?"
Jinghan gently shook her head.
"So, do you miss brother?"
Jinghan nodded.
"Do you want to see brother?"
Jinghan nodded again.
"Do you want to sit on brother's lap?"
Jinghan blushed and shook her head.
"Hehe. Go prepare for the meeting."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuan thought these two were quite interesting, one lively and outgoing, the other quiet and shy, possessing completely different personalities.
Of course, it was precisely because of these complementary personalities that they got along harmoniously.
If Qiao Lei and Liew Menglu were put together, it would be a complete clash.
