I am not just a tycoon - Chapter 247

Chapter 247: Chapter 245: When a woman becomes lustful, it really has nothing to do with a man.

Just like men, women are also sexually attracted.

When they see a man with good looks and a great figure, it’s like how men react to women with voluptuous curves–they can hardly take their eyes off.

Of course, they’re adept at hiding it, not with covetous eyes but a composed gaze, and even if they’re caught, they return a proper smile.

Once the subject turns to men, several women in evening dresses simultaneously begin to discuss fervently.

“Baoping, didn’t you go to a club last time? How was the quality of the male models there?” A woman beside her turned to look at the lady in the red evening dress.

“Baoping, did you really go?”

“I thought you were joking, who knew it was real?”

“Are they built well? Big? Good in bed?”

At the mention of “male models,” several women’s eyes lit up; though they often joked about going after male models and were all talk, none had actually done it.

Who would have thought Shu Baoping had turned their spoken intentions into a “spoken” action?

The women looked at her with some admiration since Shu Baoping did what they dared not do.

Shu Baoping, dressed in the red evening gown, reveled in this adoration, but she kept silent, intentionally building suspense.

This made the other women even more curious.

“Come on, Baoping, how was it really?”

“Exactly, if you don’t tell us, I might just write a little expose on your private life later.”

“If you ask me, a guy who can be a male model definitely has something special; I bet Baoping couldn’t keep her legs closed all night.”

“…”

The women expressed their views; to them, entertaining male models was nothing serious, seeing as the second-generation rich men among their peers lived debauched lives every day.

Shu Baoping let them chatter for a while before she slowly began, “It was alright, but honestly, there’s not much of a sense of achievement with men who are only after your money.”

“Come on, don’t skip on the details.”

“Exactly.”

“Woman, I give you until midnight tonight to deliver a 1,000-word essay to our group chat.”

Shu Baoping ignored them, her gaze fixed on Shen Yuan, “The young hunk over there is really eye-catching. I wonder if he has a girlfriend.”

Then, she looked at the girl beside her, blushing, “Peiwei, why so silent? I brought you here today precisely to introduce you to someone. How about it, seen anyone you like?”

“Peiwei’s still young, at the age where she’s after looks, she’s not into the men here.”

“You’re one to talk, as if you weren’t ogling the young hunk just now.”

Shu Baoping pursed her lush lips, eyeing her cousin, “Peiwei, do you want your cousin to show you the ropes on how to chase a man?”

“A woman chasing a man is like a veil; if you’re proactive, you’ll snag nine out of ten.”

Zhou Peiwei’s face reddened as she shook her head, “No need, cousin.”

It was her first time in such a venue, her first encounter with her cousin’s friends, and she was too shy to lift her head when hearing about those male models.

“Look at you, such innocence without having tasted a man, truly pitiful.”

Shu Baoping shook her head in mock disappointment, then waved in that direction.

Shen Yuan was chatting casually with Jin Zhifa, whose family was in the sports equipment wholesale business, supplying everything from school and park fitness equipment to treadmills and various machines for gyms–there might be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Just then, Jin Zhifa noticed Shu Baoping waving at him from the side. Uncertain at first, he silently pointed at himself, and upon getting affirmation from her, he asked Shen Yuan beside him:

“Some friends over there; shall we go say hello?”

“Sure,” Shen Yuan replied without overthinking, as his purpose today was to network and exchange resources–meeting more people couldn’t hurt.

As they were about to head over, a surprised voice rose from behind: “Brother Fa, long time no see.”

Jin Zhifa turned to look at the person, struggling to remember who it was, until the man introduced himself.

“Me? Gao Hongshun, your junior by one year. We used to be in the same student council department–you were the director, and I was an officer,” the man explained.

Jin Zhifa seemed to recall a bit, but not much, and nodded at him, “Long time indeed, we were just about to greet some friends.”

“Can I join?” Gao Hongshun asked.

“Sure,” replied Jin Zhifa, who didn’t have much clout at the event to look down on anyone, and readily agreed.

Shen Yuan knew the guy–earlier in the restroom, Gao Hongshun had tried to cut in line.

Gao Hongshun smiled at Shen Yuan as well, feeling a bit embarrassed since he didn’t know many people there and could only tag along with those he knew.

Jin Zhifa and Shen Yuan walked ahead, with Jin whispering to Shen, “The woman in the red evening dress is Shu Baoping. Her family owns a pharmaceutical factory, one of the largest in Star City. We graduated in the same year but we’re not close.”

Shen Yuan nodded, mentally sizing up this woman.

Shu Baoping appeared to be around 27 to 28, with bright red lipstick and a vibrant evening dress, open at the neckline, and with a high slit in the skirt to generously reveal her voluptuous figure.

But a woman teetering between being sultry and vulgar wasn’t Shen Yuan’s type.

She was smiling amiably at Shen Yuan, leaving him a bit bewildered.

Though Shu Baoping wasn’t his type, he soon noticed another girl beside her who immediately caught his eye.

While the other women wore evening gowns, this girl was dressed in a traditional long dress.

Her skin was even fairer than the women around her, and she was taller too.

The women in evening dresses had their necklines open and their slits high, exposing much of their chests, backs, and two-thirds of their thighs.

But the traditional dress she wore, though much more conservative, had an effect that was a dimensional knockout.

It not only had a unique style but also showcased her impressive figure.

A waist so slender it seemed as if it could be toppled by a breeze, and the size of her bust was just right.

Huh?

Something seemed off…

Shen Yuan noticed the trick, the gowns of the others all squeezed out prominent cleavage.

But this girl must have used a wrap to cover hers, because if she were wearing a normal bra, it wouldn’t be so obviously squeezed out to the sides.

Only a wrap would cause her ample assets to spread out like that.

What? Ashamed of being well-endowed?

Shen Yuan really wanted to free them, after all, creatures need to breathe, don’t they? How could they catch their breath wrapped up so tight?

While Shen Yuan’s thoughts wandered, the trio had already arrived beside a few women.

“Jin Zhifa, is this your friend?”

Shu Baoping didn’t hide her gaze at Shen Yuan, almost dripping with interest.

Facing Shu Baoping’s gaze, Shen Yuan thought this woman must see him through some kind of filter.

Did my size give me away?

That shouldn’t be, he was wearing loose casual pants today.

And it wasn’t just her, Shen Yuan noticed several other women casting flirtatious glances his way.

This felt even more wrong, and he suddenly got the sense that he had become prey and the women before him were thirsty hunters.

Jin Zhifa said with a chuckle, “No, this is my cousin…”

“Your cousin?”

Before Zhifa could finish, someone burst out laughing, “Your family’s genes seem a bit unfair, huh? How come your cousin is so much taller than you, and way handsomer too?”

The others laughed too, “Exactly, exactly, this isn’t just partiality, this is extreme partiality.”

“Would you let me finish?”

Jin Zhifa said with a wry smile, “This is my cousin’s classmate, also from the International campus, named Shen Yuan.”

Shu Baoping spoke coquettishly, “I thought this mixer was only for family members. How come you brought your cousin’s classmate here?”

“No, he was invited by Principal Yang. We just happened to run into him,” Jin Zhifa explained. “Shen Yuan owns a health company with two fitness centers, a yoga studio, and a health check center under his name. He is about to open four more yoga studios.”

The crowd then nodded in understanding, thinking so, Jin family are all thick-necked and heavy-legged, how could they produce this kind of good-looking guy.

They weren’t surprised by Shen Yuan’s business; after all, to be invited here, one must have either a large family business or have carved out their own venture.

“Hello, Shu Baoping.”

Shu Baoping pulled out a business card from her bag and handed it to Shen Yuan with a flirtatious smile.

“Hello, Shen Yuan.”

Shen Yuan politely accepted the card, but in the moment of touch, he felt a tickle in his palm, realizing it was Shu Baoping’s finger gently moving in his palm, her eyes conveying affection.

Shen Yuan smiled knowingly and carelessly tucked the business card into his pocket.

Alright, alright, so this is how these rich girls play.

Gao Hongshun stood by somewhat anxiously, from start to finish these women hadn’t given him a glance, treating him as if he were air.

He thought that after Shen Yuan was introduced it would be his turn, but no one asked. Gao Hongshun was there to expand his contacts and also see if there was a suitable match for him.

So he gritted his teeth and extended his hand, “Uh… my name is Gao Hongshun, nice to meet you all.”

Shu Baoping glanced at him, responding with a lukewarm “Oh.”

Jin Zhifa couldn’t stand watching anymore; it was too awkward, especially since he brought him. Gao Hongshun’s embarrassment was his embarrassment. So he said, “Gao Hongshun, why don’t you introduce your current job?”

Gao Hongshun puffed out his chest with confidence, “My family runs a funeral service. It’s the third-largest in Star City. We offer cremation, funeral arrangements, and cemetery selection. If anyone needs…”

“Alright, alright, no more,” Jin Zhifa hastily interrupted, cursing the bad luck internally. If he had known, he wouldn’t have brought this idiot, going on about “full-service” and “if you need, you can find me.”

What, are you here to drum up business?

Hoping people’s families start dropping like flies?

The crowd all gave him a roll of their eyes, even Shu Baoping’s expression turned displeased. Where did this imbecile come from?

Only Zhou Peiwei, dressed in traditional attire, looked at Gao Hongshun with sympathy.

Gao Hongshun knew he had misspoken and awkwardly wiped sweat from his brow. In his family’s company, he was in charge of sales and couldn’t stop once he started talking, and since he was a bit nervous, he let his mouth run away with him.

Shen Yuan simply found it amusing, but soon the atmosphere livened up again once Jin Zhifa changed the topic.

Gao Hongshun was eager to join in. He had always longed for such “high-end circles.” Places he used to frequent were bars, KTVs, and sauna services; he had never been in such a private club before.

Actually, he was like Shen Yuan, having never been here before since his family funeral service company had a modest business. However, it had been particularly good in the past couple of years.

Initially, Principal Yang didn’t know. But last month, Gao Hongshun visited him, letting the principal learn about his family business, which led to this opportunity to participate.

For this, he had prepared many topics he considered ‘high-end,’ such as the recent launch of the Long March 7 rocket, the unrest in Russia and Ukraine, and last year’s Nobel Prize winners.

After they finished discussing the entertainment spots in Star City, Gao Hongshun felt his chance had come and he chimed in, “Did you hear? The Long March 7 rocket was successfully launched. Our country is becoming stronger and stronger!”

The crowd: “?”
