I am not just a tycoon

"Hello."

The calm voice on the other end of the line said, "Chairman Shen, thank you. Everything has been settled for me. I've switched departments and will be promoted to head nurse next week. Just now, our head nurse even apologized to me."

"That's good."

"But, I didn't forgive her just now. I even slapped her in the face, in front of many people. I'm awesome, right?"

"Awesome."

"I've waited for this day for a long time. I've imagined countless times how I would slap her face, and today, I finally did it. Can you imagine her, covering her red face, fuming with rage but unable to speak?"

"Uh-huh, I can imagine."

"Do you think I'm too vengeful?" Dong Ya asked.

"Not at all, I actually dislike those who are too magnanimous."

"That head nurse will probably avoid me from now on. Even the deputy director and other hospital leaders won't dare to invite me out casually."

"Uh-huh, that's good."

After responding with that, the phone fell silent for a long time. Neither of them spoke again, and Shen Yuan could only hear the "huff huff huff" of breathing on the other end.

Having suppressed her feelings for so long, she must have felt a sense of relief now, even though she had been so calm just a moment ago.

After a while, Shen Yuan thought he heard a hint of a sob, and the breathing became erratic, eventually turning into a choking sound.

"Are you crying?" Shen Yuan asked.

Facing workplace bullying, suppression, and various unfair treatments, Dong Ya was someone who could endure. If she had left her job directly, it would probably have remained a permanent knot in her heart.

Shen Yuan had never worked, so he hadn't experienced it, but office bullying was rampant nowadays, with frequent news stories confirming its prevalence.

Most people just endured it and moved on, or they changed jobs. Someone like Dong Ya, set on taking revenge, was extremely rare.

What a resolute personality... Shen Yuan thought to himself.

After a good while, the sobbing slowly stopped, and taking a deep breath, "Yeah, sort of, but it's tears of joy."

"Don't drink too much, and spend more time talking with friends," Shen Yuan said.

"Uh-huh, got it."

Dong Ya sniffled, then said, "There's another thing, Qi Xi wants to thank you. She asked me when you're free for a meal."

Shen Yuan pondered for a moment, "For dinner, tonight is possible. I can't say about other times. I just arrived in Star City, so why don't you both come to my place?"

"Okay, I'll confirm with her."

"Alright."

"If she's not available, could I come by myself, Chairman Shen?"

"You wish."

"Can I, Chairman Shen?" Dong Ya asked expectantly.

"Fine, I don't have plans with anyone else tonight anyway."

Shen Yuan was glad he hadn't mentioned it to the NPCs. He didn't know about other NPCs, but if Liew Menglu and her sisters found out, they would definitely visit his villa together, and there would be another 'Five Blacks Battle.'

"Okay, I'll ask her now."

"Doesn't she have my WeChat? Why does she need you to convey the message?" Shen Yuan asked.

"She's a bit shy."

"Alright, got it."

Shen Yuan hung up the phone, thinking that shyness was just her camouflage, and that one day he would strip it away.

Speaking of Qi Xi, Shen Yuan was reminded of Su Xuewei, whose personality was similar. She was shy, but very strong and ambitious at heart.

Wondering how she was doing lately since she wasn't proactive with messages.

With that thought, Shen Yuan sent a message to Su Xuewei: "Beep beep, as of now, it's been 32 hours since you sent me a message. Do you know what serious offense you've committed?"

He waited for a few minutes without a reply, figuring she was probably still at work. At that moment, Ji Ya brought a fragrant bowl of rice noodles to him.

"Delicious!"

Shen Yuan exclaimed, with the rich aroma of the broth wafting through the air, and the rice noodles were topped with plenty of ingredients: poached egg, stir-fried pork, some pickles, peanuts, and sprinkled with chopped green onions.

Taking the chopsticks, he slurped a mouthful, feeling the savory noodles sliding down his throat to his stomach, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "The rice noodles you cooked are getting more delicious."

"Mr. Shen likes it, that's good."

Soon, Dong Ya returned a message saying she and Qi Xi would come over, so Shen Yuan told Ji Ya: "Later, arrange for a van to pick up two of my friends. I'll send you the address and phone number later. Also, have the personal team's chef come over to cook."
