I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 301 - 274: The Skills of a Scoundrel Man

Chapter 301: Chapter 274: The Skills of a Scoundrel Man

Shen Yuan was sitting between two girls, one sending WeChat messages, the other reading them. It was pretty obvious what they were both doing.

“Come on, I’m right in front of you. Can’t you just say whatever it is to my face?”

Luo Bingying saw the WeChat message from her friend and felt she was overthinking things. There was indeed a sense of disappointment and loss compared to before, but it wasn’t about liking someone or being obsessed.

She put down her phone, ready to find a topic all three could join in. After thinking for a moment, she asked, “Shen Yuan, do you still go to classes now?”

You see, they were still third-year students, having just moved into their senior year after the summer break, and some schools still had classes last semester.

So Luo Bingying was curious whether Shen Yuan, with his status, would still attend classes.

Without a second thought, Shen Yuan replied, “Yeah, I manage to juggle both classes and work.”

“Huh?”

Luo Bingying was slightly surprised.

“Liar.”

Zhou Peiwei immediately expressed her doubt, “You’re so successful now, you could even be teaching your classmates. Do you still go to classes?”

Shen Yuan calmly explained, “Being successful still requires continuous learning and improvement. The path of learning must always be pursued to avoid narrowing. Once narrowed, expanding it again would require extra effort.”

Zhou Peiwei furrowed her brows, unable to help but take another look at Shen Yuan… Why did it feel like his approach to studying wasn’t quite serious?

But he spoke convincingly, and it didn’t seem like he was joking.

Zhou Peiwei always felt there was something off, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

“Shen Yuan” and “studying” just didn’t seem to go together.

However, Luo Bingying didn’t think too much about it and simply nodded. “That’s true. Many university professors have strong professional knowledge and skills. For instance, I have a teacher who teaches us criminal law. He seems harmless but has another identity on the side as a tough judge, sentencing over a hundred death penalties a year.”

“Whoa…”

Zhou Peiwei couldn’t help but exclaim, but realized Shen Yuan was also there and abruptly swallowed the rest of her words.

Shen Yuan found it kind of creepy, but the statement was faultless. Many professors in top universities like 985 or 211 not only serve as academic leaders but also as societal cornerstones.

Most colleges have professors, even academicians, but those are only found in Luo Bingying and their peers’ schools. The teaching quality at the International Campus was far inferior.

Speaking of which, Shen Yuan became a bit more serious, “So really, for the average person, university is the only platform where they can meet such people.”

Luo Bingying nodded in agreement, “My teacher can earn tens of thousands for just giving a lecture outside, and even our textbooks are edited by him.”

Shen Yuan acknowledged, “After all, he’s a renowned professor, and many professors have successfully transitioned into politics too.”

Luo Bingying quickly took over the conversation, “Yes…”

Listening to their back-and-forth, Zhou Peiwei felt somewhat restless as she didn’t have much knowledge in this area, lamenting her lack of education… cuihè reigns.

But it also made Zhou Peiwei see another side of Shen Yuan. When he was serious, he had a certain appeal.

Shen Yuan, caring for his friend, shifted the topic to Zhou Peiwei, “By the way, what are you studying, Peiwei?”

“I’m studying medicine.”

Zhou Peiwei seemed quite proud of her field, puffing out her ample chest, “Got a problem? I specialize in treating all kinds of difficult diseases.”

A medical student, huh? The white lab coat is definitely a plus… Shen Yuan mused silently, but this medical student was challenging his impression of the calm professionalism usually associated with doctors.

This kind of doctor, proclaiming to treat difficult diseases right off the bat… Can she be trusted?

“Can you cure being overly handsome?”

Shen Yuan asked with a smile.

“Narcissism…” Zhou Peiwei scoffed, tilting her refined chin up, “Sure, but I’d need to perform a dissection first to see if there are too many egotistic cells inside.”

Shen Yuan nodded seriously, “Alright, let’s schedule a dissection and test your surgical skills.”

“You’d really let me try surgery on you? I’m just a medical student who hasn’t even graduated yet.”

Shen Yuan casually said, “I wasn’t talking about me having the condition, but a good friend of mine. He might as well contribute to our country’s medical cause a bit early.”

Zhou Peiwei burst into laughter, suddenly understanding why Bingying liked him. He was charmingly rogue and fun to talk to, definitely attractive to girls.

Luo Bingying watched their chat with a hint of envy. She wasn’t good at joking around, usually speaking and acting very methodically—perhaps that’s one reason she chose law.

Once Shen Yuan started talking, the atmosphere got progressively livelier. They discussed their majors, schools, and eventually roommates.

They were all around the same age, all college students, and although not from the same university, their experiences were pretty similar, making these common topics.

With Shen Yuan’s witty remarks, not only was Zhou Peiwei laughing constantly, but even Luo Bingying occasionally covered her mouth to giggle.

Then the food gradually arrived. Feeling more familiar with Shen Yuan, Zhou Peiwei asked, “Have you ever hung out with my cousin? Didn’t you both add each other on WeChat the other time?”

“Cousin?”

Shen Yuan was a bit puzzled.

Zhou Peiwei explained, “It’s Shu Baoping. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten my cousin already? You two were getting along so well that day.”
