Chapter 386: Chapter 361 Watching Li Chen Fish for Women

Li Chen was already on his way back, having dropped Lin Xiaoxiao off at school, and was now heading to the company.

Coming out of Linchuan University, he soon arrived in the downtown area.

Li Chen got out of the car and walked towards Jinmao Tower as people bustled around him.

Then, all of a sudden, his gaze locked onto a familiar figure, and he couldn’t help but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Although this girl wasn’t wearing the sexy black tight dress she had on before, she was wearing a tracksuit that still showcased her stunning figure, and with her long hair flowing down, she was undoubtedly a beauty.

He just wondered if she had bound her chest like before.

Li Chen thought mischievously that this was the only bad thing about her. She had such impressive assets, and yet she chose to bind them and hide them from view. Really, what was she thinking? Youth is for showing off.

With such thoughts, Li Chen felt it necessary to go and offer some guidance and education.

So, he nonchalantly plopped himself down across from the beauty.

However, as soon as he sat down, he realized that she didn’t seem to notice him at all. Instead, she turned her head to the left as if he was blocking her line of sight.

Damn, are you seriously ignoring me?

As the Qilin Princess shifted her gaze to the left, Li Chen also moved to the left. The Qilin Princess frowned unconsciously and moved to the right, and Li Chen followed suit.

At this point, the Qilin Princess realized what was going on but immediately got angry. Who’s this blind guy trying to hit on her now?

When she looked up, she saw Li Chen’s grinning face.

The Qilin Princess rolled her eyes, wishing she could punch him a few times right in the face.

"Catching a thief?" Li Chen leaned forward and, without any courtesy, grabbed the drink the Qilin Princess had ordered and started sipping it.

"You’re pretending to be innocent," the Qilin Princess said irritably, finding Li Chen’s behavior baffling.

Li Chen looked around, and after a brief scan, he could guess who the Qilin Princess was tailing.

It was an ordinary-looking young man wearing a hat, but he had a foreigner by his side. Their table was at least a few hundred meters away from the Qilin Princess’s.

"By the way, have you seen Ouyang Wan’er recently?" Li Chen asked.

"She’s busy with a mission. Do you think everyone has as much free time as you?" The Qilin Princess retorted, her attention not on Li Chen but completely focused on her distant target.

Just as Li Chen was about to continue asking questions, the Qilin Princess suddenly noticed her target leaving. She stood up immediately and followed.

Watching the hurried Qilin Princess, Li Chen shrugged his shoulders but was still in a good mood, having snagged a bottle of the Qilin Princess’s drink for free—and the straw that the beauty had used, no less. Didn’t that count as an indirect kiss?

Li Chen would take advantage of any beauty he could.

Feeling refreshed, he stood up, but at that moment, a waiter came over with a polite smile, "Sir, hello, that will be 78 yuan."

Li Chen was taken aback. He looked at the drink in his hand and then up at the waiter: "Wasn’t it already paid for?"

"Not yet. The lady who just left said you would be paying," the waiter smiled sweetly.

Damn, I’m still at a loss here, Li Chen thought morosely.

After walking a few more steps in the downtown area, he arrived at Jinmao Tower. The former Lin Corporation Building had become ruins, but the site was under reconstruction, with impressive efficiency. In just a few months, Lin’s Group would likely be able to move back.

Back at the lab, before he had even entered, he could hear several of the most gossipy members of the lab chatting away.

"Are you guys going to participate?" a young man named Little Yang asked excitedly.

"I want to, but look at these skinny arms and legs of mine. Desk work all day, where would I get the strength to compete?" another person said with a wry smile.

"Such a pity, the prize money is 50,000 yuan," a girl sighed. "If our department could represent the company and win the prize, we could at least get a share of it."

"Actually, even if we wanted to participate, the boss would have to agree," another person added.

At this moment, Wang Lei came out of his office and casually remarked, "I agree to this. If you have the ability to win, the 50,000 yuan will be your bonus."

The group fell silent as Wang Lei left. Once he was gone, they burst into laughter.

"Zhao Qi, daring to speak ill of the boss in front of him, you’re really looking for trouble," the others laughed. When Wang Lei had come out, Zhao Qi was as silent as a schoolboy, not daring to utter a word.

Zhao Qi glared at them angrily. Seeing them revel in schadenfreude, he was at a loss for words. Weren’t they all the same before?

At this moment, Li Chen entered, flopping down into a chair.

"Yo, Mr. Cheen is back?" Immediately, the others smiled, "Mr. Cheen, which girl did you go chasing after this noon? Share with us so we can learn a thing or two."

"Go on, get," Li Chen waved his hands to shoo them away, scanning the most active and gossip-prone ones, "Not bad, you’re bringing the gossip all the way to me now?"

"Haha, not at all, Mr. Cheen. We’re just concerned about our leader," Little Yang chuckled, joining in.

"Yeah, it’s everyone’s responsibility to care for and cherish our leader," Zhao Qi chimed in quickly; the two were the liveliest in the office.

"Mr. Cheen, they’re not wrong, we all care a great deal about you," a girl piped up next.

Li Chen was speechless. This group really had too much free time on their hands.

"Alright, stop ribbing me. Tell me about this prize money you were discussing," Li Chen said.

"Here’s the thing, Mr. Cheen. The city has organized a swimming competition specifically for companies like ours, with a prize of 50,000 yuan," Zhao Qi explained.

Li Chen nodded, so that was what it was all about.

"Mr. Cheen, this event sounds fantastic! The awards go to the company, but the prize money is ours. For the honor of the company, we’re more than willing to participate," Little Yang chimed in.

"Alright then," Li Chen was amused, "since you all are so eager to go, let’s form a team and compete. Who knows, we might even take home the prize money."

Upon hearing this, the people in the laboratory became excited, "That’s great, we’ve had this idea all along, just lacked a leader."

As employees of a corporation, the mention of prize money was tempting. Ordinary white-collar workers, even with a monthly salary of 10,000, would only make about 150,000 a year including bonuses. 50,000 is a third of that – five months’ salary! Who wouldn’t want it?

"Mr. Cheen, the internal selection for the company is today, at the company swimming pool," someone said.

"Then let’s go," Li Chen stood up.

So, under Li Chen’s leadership, a group of them made a beeline for the 12th floor!

In this day and age, people’s activities are all within buildings. Besides swimming pools, towers also house restaurants, gyms, and coffee shops – offering everything you can think of that’s possible.

"Yo, buddy, it looks like your entire department is out in force?" Li Chen and his group also encountered quite a few people on the way, the other party was also a large group.

"So are you guys, look, there are already over twenty people here," Little Yang also interjected.

"Haha, we’re just here to watch the excitement, this competition is tough."

The two groups chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the swimming pool.

Upon reaching the pool, Li Chen saw that there were already many people there.

After hearing the news, most of the company employees were eager to try their luck.

And what’s more, there were a lot of girls there!

Girls in bikinis!

Li Chen’s eyes immediately lit up!

Holy shit, why hadn’t I noticed there were so many beautiful girls in the company?

It looks like I’ll need to make my move in the company, otherwise I’d be letting down my reputation as a ladies’ man.

Hmm, not bad, not bad, the one in the red bikini on the left is pretty good. Although her butt is a bit small, her chest is quite perky, and that waist is just perfect to hold. Plus, she’s pretty good-looking.

Beautiful, truly beautiful.

And the one on the right, wearing a green swimsuit, her chest isn’t big, but she has a gentle demeanor. She looks simple in her swimsuit, but it’s attractive.

As for the one behind, hey, wait a minute, isn’t that Little Yang’s face?

Li Chen got a fright, looking at the smiling Little Yang who was right in front of his face, he kicked out: "Damn it, are you trying to scare me to death?"

Little Yang, grinning from ear to ear, leaned in and whispered slyly, "Mr. Cheen, have you set your sights on someone? I’ll introduce you."

"Am I that kind of person?" Li Chen glared at him.

"Mr. Cheen, it’s fine, I won’t tell anyone, after all, we’re all men," Little Yang laughed, then said, "That one is Liu Xia from the marketing department, man, just look at that figure, it’s absolutely bloody tempting, and I’ve heard she’s the flower of the marketing department and most importantly, she’s single."

Little Yang’s tone was as if he was making a sales pitch, Li Chen was startled and then said cautiously, "Little Yang, are you scheming something?"

"No, absolutely not, Mr. Cheen, you’re my idol, how could I have any schemes?" Little Yang quickly replied, but after saying that, he again whispered with a sly grin, "Mr. Cheen, as long as you can tell me how you, well, how you chase after the ladies, that’s enough."

Li Chen looked at Little Yang, "So you’re still single, huh?"

With that comment, Little Yang felt a bit embarrassed.

"Watch me," Li Chen said with a nonchalant smile.

Then Li Chen walked towards the group of girls, while Little Yang, seeing Li Chen head over, immediately perked up: "Come on, betting’s open, I’m the bookie, the bet is whether Mr. Cheen can capture the hearts of those girls."

"I bet 50 that he won’t make it."

"30, he will!"

"10, he won’t."

Suddenly, the staff from the Fragrance Laboratory came over. If Li Chen saw this, he would be flabbergasted. Holy crap, was this why Little Yang sent him over—to start the betting?

If he knew, he would definitely have kicked him.

All these bets were based on Li Chen’s actions. Although they couldn’t hear what he was saying, it seemed that things were progressing quite smoothly.

This made Little Yang and the others exchange glances.

"Damn it, isn’t Liu Xia supposed to be aloof to strangers?"

"What on earth did Mr. Cheen say? How is he so good at picking up girls? Liu Xia is even smiling."

"Man, if only I had Mr. Cheen’s skills with women," one guy sighed.

"Dream on, your old lady at home would bite your head off," the others joked.

Nevertheless, their bet was a lost cause, because Li Chen was actually having a great time chatting with the group of girls.

At that moment, those who had bet against him had long faces.

At the same time, Lin Yi also came in with some people. This swimming competition, as an activity that could enhance internal cohesion among company employees, was a decent idea, so she had also come to take a look.

But the moment she came in, Lin Yi’s gaze quickly swept over the area, and she saw Li Chen flirting with a group of girls.
