I am not just a tycoon
Chapter 828 483: It's over, the "promising youth" who will have to take a beating from now on

The next day, Shi Zhixuan woke up early, glanced at the still-sleeping Shen Yuan, and carefully got out of bed to dress before heading to the bathroom to comb her hair and freshen up.

The events of the previous night flashed vividly in her mind, causing her to blush furiously as the burning pain in her buttocks reminded her of her first-ever spanking.

"All I did was say a few more words, did he really need to go that far?"

Shi Zhixuan muttered to herself.

Aside from the pain, she also felt a faint excitement while being spanked.

How strange, am I some kind of masochist? Why would I look forward to being spanked?

Shi Zhixuan couldn't make sense of it, so she picked up her phone and started searching, typing in the keywords "I'm a girl, why would I look forward to being spanked by my partner?"

The search results made Shi Zhixuan involuntarily bite her finger.

"How could this be? How could I be like this?!"

The results included various analyses of hormone secretion, nervous sensitivity, psychological motives, childhood experiences, stress relief, and sociocultural factors, all leading to one conclusion—BDSM tendencies.

Shi Zhixuan had never realized this about herself, but it seemed like there were quite a few people with such tendencies.

She let out a deep sigh, feeling doomed to always want to come to Shen Yuan for a spanking in the future.

If Shen Yuan used a whip or belt... stop, Shi Zhixuan, you can't think about this anymore, just stop.

Shi Zhixuan quickly cleared her mind, forcing herself to concentrate on the dance studio she had been busy with, as she applied light makeup.

When she walked out of the bathroom, it was only 8 o'clock. Shen Yuan was still asleep, his quilt partly uncovered, revealing his well-defined upper body.

Eight-pack abs tight and sharply defined, symmetrically arranged on his abdomen, his broad and full chest, especially his well-trained shoulders and arms, gave his upper body an appealing inverted triangle shape.

Even though Shi Zhixuan had seen many men with great bodies, she had to admit Shen Yuan's was perfect.

She couldn't understand how Shen Yuan kept his body in such impeccable shape; any other man indulging as much would surely be weakened, not to mention he had so many businesses to manage.

Shen Yuan's existence completely overturned her stereotypes about wealthy men.

She watched him for a while, her gaze falling involuntarily to his lower abdomen, her cheeks flushing slightly before she sat by the bed and quietly covered him with the quilt.

Just as she was about to get up after tucking him in, a hand suddenly grabbed hers, causing a sharp pain in her wrist. It turned out Shen Yuan had woken up.

"Leaving without saying goodbye?"

"I... I have things to do this morning."

Shi Zhixuan tried to free her hand, averting her eyes in embarrassment.

"What's more important than staying with me?"

Shen Yuan pulled her back into bed with one swift motion.

Shi Zhixuan gasped, "Ah, no, I already got dressed, I even did my makeup, please, Shen Yuan."

"You can dress again and redo your makeup. Since you're already here, I need to make sure you're well fed."

....

Forty minutes later, a wobbly Shi Zhixuan left the master bedroom; even a dancer couldn't endure such a workout.

Moreover, the old injuries combined with new ones made her buttocks burn with pain.

As she reached downstairs, she couldn't bear to make eye contact with Tan Xin and the maid, given the noise they had just made.

In fact, Tan Xin and the maid were already used to it; this wasn't the first time.

Half an hour later, Shen Yuan also came downstairs and had breakfast before asking Tan Xin to start the Rolls-Royce.

Because Shen Yuan's Anke shares had been transferred in recent days, today the shareholders were holding a meeting to re-elect directors and supervisors, as well as to hear the executives report on the company's midyear performance and strategic decisions for the second half of the year.

If all went well, Shen Yuan should be able to make it to Zhou Peiwei's "family introduction" lunch at noon.

Anke's headquarters were in the Lu District's ZDE Software Park, where the shareholder meeting seats 17 people, with only 3 not in attendance. Seated at the head was the founder and chairman Yang Meng, who used to be a senior engineer at Google, leading the company's strategic direction.

At Anke, he and his wife together held 47.5% of the shares, maintaining absolute discourse power.

There was also the current president Zhao Donghua, who held 11.81% of the shares and was rumored to have been Dell's marketing director for the Greater China region.

Other important positions like the senior vice president, CFO, and CTO were also present, each enjoying a certain degree of equity incentive. These representatives not only enjoyed equity incentives but also had to report their work.

The opening remarks were the usual clichés, with Yang Meng focusing on introducing Shen Yuan, followed by enthusiastic applause.

The meeting lasted two hours, with Shen Yuan elected as a director and supervisor, with the other directors largely unchanged, and then it was time to listen to a few high-level executives present their PPTs.

After the meeting, Yang Meng invited Shen Yuan to dinner at his house, and this time Shen Yuan did not refuse. He then exchanged pleasantries with a few other shareholders.

Shen Yuan also realized that these old men were well-informed about his background, knowing even his shares in Mu Medical, Chenlang Law Firm, and a few other enterprises.

President Zhao Donghua also invited Shen Yuan to visit the headquarters and factories. Shen Yuan planned to skip the factory tour but agreed to take a look at the headquarters located on the same floor.

During the tour, Zhao Donghua introduced a few senior executives to Shen Yuan, who normally were influential figures at Anke but were now standing in a row waiting to shake hands.

Shen Yuan gradually found himself lost in the chorus of "Chairman Shen," thinking he had really made it big.

"This is our head of R&D, R&D Director Gu Dongliang."
