I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 249 - 247: You need to travel the new path often, or it will easily narrow.

Shu Baoping sometimes felt that the world was really unfair. She was born into such a privileged family, where economically, there was nothing to complain about, so why couldn’t she have been born looking a little better?

"Abundant branches bearing fruit, towering mountain peaks," those were the things Shu Baoping envied.

However, the things she envied, her cousin felt insecure about and even considered breast reduction surgery at one point.

It was only with difficulty that her family convinced her not to do it. Even so, she did not dare to show off, always wrapping herself in white cloth, so visually, she appeared to be the size of an average girl.

Apart from well-informed people like Shu Baoping, only a "detail emperor" could tell by the spread of her bust.

Ah~

Shu Baoping glanced at her cousin’s bust and sighed silently.

On the other side, the three returned to the parasol where they were before.

Gao Hongshun was a bit downcast just now, but his eyes were sparkling at this moment, looking quite excited.

Just when Gao Hongshun was about to burst out laughing, Jin Zhifa couldn’t help frowning and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I’ve got a secret to tell you."

Gao Hongshun suddenly lowered his voice, his face displaying a sleazy smile.

This expression made Shen Yuan suddenly think of Old Huang. The moment he opened his mouth, the topic would turn risqué, even if he didn’t mean it; but when the words came from Old Huang’s mouth, the atmosphere always became indecent.

And now, Gao Hongshun was just like Old Huang.

Jin Zhifa’s expression became even uglier. ’My secret, your mom’s secret,’ what kind of secret is this? Just fart it out already, and stop laughing so sleazily.

"That girl in ancient dress, named Zhou Peiwei, had been watching me all along."

Gao Hongshun looked at the two of them, his eyes beaming with confidence: "When I was over there, she was looking at me the whole time. Now that I’ve returned here, she’s still looking at me."

Jin Zhifa scorned, "How is that possible? She would look at me before she looks at you."

Gao Hongshun hurriedly defended, "It’s true, if you don’t believe me, take a look over there."

Jin Zhifa couldn’t bother with him. He didn’t know what had led Gao Hongshun to harbor such one of life’s great delusions, but Gao Hongshun was clearly daydreaming at this point.

With your performance just now, do you really think someone would take a fancy to you? Dream on.

Shen Yuan also found it somewhat amusing. At first, he thought that she looked at him out of mere sympathy and pity, and now, well…

When Shen Yuan met her gaze head-on, Zhou Peiwei quickly looked away to something else.

Who she’s really looking at is up for debate.

...

Socializing, exchanging pleasantries, small talk, swapping business cards, adding friends, all of these were rather dull for Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan missed the next golf session. He couldn’t play and wasn’t interested in learning, so he took the opportunity to ask Yang Hongwei for some time off, and rested in the clubhouse room.

The clubhouse had private rooms that, although not as spacious as executive suites, were still far better than an average hotel room.

Most of the other members put on their clothes and went to the course.

When Shu Baoping and the others didn’t find Shen Yuan on the golf course, their attention dwindled significantly.

Gao Hongshun also felt a bit disappointed because the girl in the ancient dress didn’t look at him while playing golf.

Could it be that he was just imagining things?

That’s not right, she kept looking over earlier at the estate.

Golf proceeded until just after 5 p.m., and dinner was scheduled for 6 p.m. Everyone had enough time to take a shower and change clothes around that time.

Western cuisine was prepared for today’s dinner, and during the meal, Principal Yang Hongwei said a few words, then invited Hua Zhongkui to share his thoughts with everyone.

It was nothing more than some clichés and platitudes. Shen Yuan absentmindedly cut his steak, his gaze wandering around the room.

However, when he saw Zhou Peiwei, it seemed like she was also looking at him, and the moment their eyes met, Zhou Peiwei quickly lowered her head.

There was something off about this girl’s gaze... If it had happened just once, Shen Yuan wouldn’t have found it strange, but it had happened 3-4 times today.

Of course, this look was not just from Zhou Peiwei, but also her cheap cousin.

During the wine tasting, Shu Baoping and her sisters came over again, their cheeks flushed with rouge from the alcohol.

Shu Baoping swirled her wine glass, staring at Shen Yuan with a soft and tender look: "I don’t like this Vega-Sicilia, the fruit flavor is weak and it’s a bit bitter. I prefer the Harlan from America."

"Miss Shu has great taste."

Before Shen Yuan could respond, Gao Hongshun confidently stepped forward and said, "Harlan Estate is located in Oak Tree Village, California. The reason why their wines maintain such a high standard is inseparable from the meticulousness of their winemaking process. They harvest different sections of the vineyard according to the varying quality of the fruit..."

As soon as the topic of wine was brought up, Gao Hongshun seemed to unlock a fervor, going on and on: "Of course, Vega-Sicilia is not in the same price range as Harlan, which is now priced at around 11,000 a bottle."

Shu Baoping listened with some impatience but still waited until Gao Hongshun finished talking before looking at Shen Yuan, "What do you think?"

"My opinion?"

Shen Yuan smirked playfully, "What’s so great about this cracked wine? It’s not even as enjoyable as a well-brewed beer."

In truth, Shen Yuan didn’t understand wine at all. Rather than spouting nonsense, he preferred to admit his ignorance openly.

Gao Hongshun chuckled, "Shen Yuan, how can you compare beer with wine? It shows you haven’t done your homework."

"It’s all just alcohol, there’s no distinction between the high and low, the noble and the base."

Shen Yuan countered dismissively, "Anyway, when I drink, I just want to enjoy it. What do winemaking techniques and history have to do with me?"

Gao Hongshun was speechless, realizing there was no angle to argue from. It was like being hit by a wild punch.

However, everyone present was well-mannered, no one was as unreasonable as Shen Yuan.

"I think you’re right."

Without any apparent reason, Shu Baoping agreed, becoming even more interested in Shen Yuan, "It’s just alcohol, after all. Where is this nonsense about high and low, noble and common coming from?"

Gao Hongshun: "?"

Is this some kind of double standard?

```

In Gao Hongshun’s opinion, Shen Yuan might dress appropriately, but he certainly didn’t know as much as Gao did, and that statement made no sense at all.

If wine had different prices, there must be distinctions in quality and value.

But why hadn’t any of them objected, and even Shu Baoping agreed with her opinion?

What exactly was the problem?

Gao Hongshun took a careful look at Shen Yuan, who didn’t seem to have any remarkable qualities.

Wasn’t he just a bit better looking and taller than Gao himself, and wasn’t his Audemars Piguet just a bit more expensive than Gao’s Rolex?

Besides that, what else was there?

After chatting about wine for a while, Shu Baoping asked, "Shen Yuan, why didn’t you come to play golf this afternoon?"

"I don’t know how to play," Shen Yuan said truthfully.

"I can teach you; I’m quite good at it," she said, raising her eyebrows suggestively, "Of course, there would be a fee."

Shen Yuan looked at Shu Baoping, whose Feel-good Index above her head had already reached 60, but women who had a good impression of him were far too many.

Gao Hongshun watched Shen Yuan eagerly. Today, he felt utterly defeated.

He had been practicing golf for months and hadn’t won over any rich girls.

Shen Yuan didn’t even need to practice; as soon as he said he didn’t play golf, someone immediately offered to teach him.

Damn... Gao Hongshun also noticed that Shen Yuan slightly furrowed his brow, looking uninterested.

What gave him the right?

Indeed, Shen Yuan shook his head, saying, "I’m not interested in golf."

In fact, Shen Yuan didn’t need to learn golf at all; he could exchange skill cards at any time.

But if it were Zhou Peiwei, the girl next to him, offering to teach, he might have given a different answer.

Jin Zhifa looked at Shen Yuan with astonishment. The Shu family was a leading pharmaceutical enterprise in Star City. Was he just rejecting the olive branch like that?

Shu Baoping’s private life might be messy, but her looks and figure were decent, so Jin felt that Shen Yuan was missing out big time.

Undiscouraged by the rejection, Shu Baoping pointed to Shen Yuan’s pocket, "If you ever need it, just let me know. You have my business card anyway. And remember to add me on WeChat."

"Okay," Shen Yuan nodded.

Having said that, Shu Baoping left gracefully with her friends.

When she returned to her table, a friend immediately teased with a smile, "Baoping, is this the first time you’ve been turned down?"

"This junior isn’t so easy to deal with, you know."

"Even Baoping can stumble. Alas, the world is going downhill."

While most were joking or consoling, a hint of relief flashed in Zhou Peiwei’s eyes.

However, no one noticed it, and Shu Baoping confidently said, "You don’t understand. The harder it is to bite off, the tastier it will be once you manage it. Just wait and see, the day will come when you’ll all be green with envy."

"..."

At 10 PM, after the wine tasting event ended, Shen Yuan called his driver, Old Xiang, to drive because he had drunk alcohol.

Initially, Shen Yuan wanted to go home and spend time with Nana, but by the time he got there, she would probably be asleep, and the class belle had gone back to her hometown.

So Shen Yuan decided to visit Teacher Lih instead, paving the way forward.

After all, it’s a new road, and it needs to be traveled often, or else it can become narrow again so quickly.

And since Teacher Lih’s parents were coming tomorrow, going tonight would save him a round trip the next day.

Shen Yuan stood at the door waiting for his driver Old Xiang, while Zhou Peiwei sat in the back seat of a Mercedes-Benz S680 as it left the parking lot. Through the car window, she glimpsed Shen Yuan’s figure.

It was only after the S680 had left Xiangzhang Golf Course and Zhou Peiwei could no longer see that silhouette that she picked up her phone to message, "Bingying, I saw Shen Yuan today."

In Hexi, inside a modestly decorated apartment, Luo Bingying was sitting at a desk memorizing legal provisions when she suddenly received a WeChat message from her close friend Zhou Peiwei.

Not only were they high school classmates, but they also attended universities in Yanjing that were close to each other, so their friendship had remained strong.

Reading the message, Luo Bingying’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly replied, "Where did you run into him?"

Zhou Peiwei wrote back, "A graduate exchange meeting. My cousin took me there."

Luo Bingying asked, "How come he was there at a graduate exchange meeting?"

Zhou Peiwei replied, "I’m not sure myself, probably because he’s quite exceptional."

Luo Bingying answered, "Hmm... anything interesting happen today?"

Zhou Peiwei disclosed, "Quite a few things. First, my cousin seems to like him. She showed him several signs of interest and even offered to teach him golf."

Anxiously, Luo Bingying replied, "Then what?"

Zhou Peiwei answered, "Shen Yuan turned her down. He doesn’t seem to be interested in my cousin at all."

Luo Bingying suddenly felt a wave of relief, "Really?..."

Zhou Peiwei continued, "But..."

Luo Bingying retorted, "You brat, can’t you just say everything at once?"

Zhou Peiwei confessed, "I think Shen Yuan might like me a bit. He keeps looking at me."

Luo Bingying: "?"

Zhou Peiwei insisted, "Really, this afternoon at the manor and during dinner, even while wine tasting, he was always looking at me."

Luo Bingying questioned, "But how would you know he’s looking at you if you’re not looking at him?"

Zhou Peiwei realized, "Oh, that’s true."

Luo Bingying: "..."
