## **Story**

On Wednesday the 8th of July, Alex first meets Shen after Paul leads them to his office. Alex is immediately star struck the moment they lay eyes on the CEO of Sihai. Alex muses on how he's world famous for building Sihai Industries into what it is in the present in just over a decade and how powerful he is. They also think about how popular he is in tabloids. Alex notices how the air feels different in his presence as he dismisses Paul. He greets Alex, telling them that he owes their father a favor and that's why Alex is being offered an internship. The following conversation can reveal that Alex is a creative individual but only has one friend, Shen doesn't know where to place them and has decided to show them around the campus over the next two days and let them pick where they want to intern. If Shen is complimented he thanks Alex and flexes a bit before forcing himself back to focus on the conversation. If flirted with again, he laughs and says he appreciates the enthusiasm, but it's not certain if he understands he was being flirted with.

While waiting for the train, Shen explains what Sihai does and some of the industries they're involved with. He then speaks of his employees and how important it is for him to make sure they feel valued but has trouble trusting others with power as he's had too many instances of people abusing the trust that he's placed in them. He apologizes for his unpleasantness and discusses how he would rather reward his employees than punish them as the train arrives.

He leads Alex to the medical building and apologizes for the strange path he's leading them down. He explains there's someone he really wants Alex to meet in the building, his personal friend, Dr. Jehu Tyre. Shen introduces Alex to Jehu, and warns them against taking advantage of Jehu if Alex makes a lewd comment. Shen annoyedly explains how important Jehu is to Sihai after Jehu insists that he's nothing special. After Jehu timidly talks himself into silence, Shen sighs and goes to excuse himself and Alex. Shen asks Jehu about a report but silences Jehu before he can really speak about it.

Shen takes Alex back to the main building where he introduces Alex to Dan, who gives pointers about the Sihai campus before Shen starts to ramble about the attractions on campus. Shen then has to leave and tells Alex to explore the campus if they want. While exploring, it's revealed that Shen is fiercely protective of Jehu by Isaac and Paul, and Shen sought him out specifically. Isaac says that Shen is dramatic but in an entertaining way.

On Thursday the 9th, Alex wakes up to a text from Shen asking them to meet him at the World of Sihai amusement park. When Alex shows up, Shen is surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. He excuses himself to join Alex with a good natured chuckle and comments what a fine day it is to visit the park. Alex can then comment on the weather which Shen will react differently depending on the comment.

Shen explains that they, as employees, don't need to go through the line; but as it's a special occasion, they will. Alex comments that the mascot on the ticket is cute and Shen says that they wouldn't suppose that Alex would remember. When asked to clarify, he laughs it off not giving an answer. While in line, Alex asks Shen what favor their dad did for him, Shen nervously assures them it was nothing. Alex suspects that it may have been sexual in nature. When they reach the front of the line, Shen introduces Alex to Sarah who picks on Shen.

When in the park, Shen is recognized by park goers which pleases him. He asks for Alex to excuse him while he goes and interacts the people. While Alex is left alone, they are approached by Paul who explains his duties. When Shen returns, if Alex is female, he will ask if Paul is "messing with them." The two talk about the crowd before Paul tells Shen to let Jehu know he has something of his. Shen explains he sent Jehu to get samples, though he asked Jehu to allocate the work with a grimace before dismissing it and continues the tour. He asks Alex what they see, he explains that the park was a gamble to win over the hearts of the people who would consume their products. He pridefully gloats about how well it worked.

While walking, Alex notices that the sweat Shen wipes off his brow is water. When asked about it, Shen says he's a water dragon but doesn't clarify any further before asking what Alex would like to cool themselves down. He stands in line to retrieve whatever Alex wants, an ice cream sandwich if Alex says they want him. When he returns he explains that he likes waiting in line (especially for roller coasters) where he may or may not be recognized and he doesn't know which he prefers. He then ponders where to take Alex next and says that he doubt Goldberg is there yet.

While walking by a rollercoaster, it begins to rain which delights Shen. Alex notices droplets of water floating around him and isn't getting wet. Alex notices Jehu taking shelter next to Shen and nervously greets them when noticed. Alex notices Shen's eyes are glowing as he speaks with Jehu. Jehu nervously leaves into the rain despite Shen's protests which makes him huff in annoyance when they go ignored. He changes the subject by asking Alex if they want to ride a roller coaster, dragging them along before they can answer. After the ride, a pleased Shen explains that he doesn't get to ride the rides very often.

He then takes Alex to meet Jorge, the only attraction designer who works on campus. When entering the conference room where Jorge works, Jorge smacks Shen in the face with papers while excitedly babbling about an idea for a ride. Shen gives Jorge some encouragement before introducing Alex. Jorge asks Alex what their favorite attraction is, Shen gets flustered if Alex says him. Jorge asks Shen and Alex to join him for lunch.

The group goes to a restaurant called the Violet Echo where Alex meets Alan. If Alex chooses to get the spicy chicken sandwich, Shen reveals he like spicy food. If Alex chooses the burger they have the option to point out or wipe a tomato from Shen's beard. If player chooses to wipe the tomato off the dialogue is different depending on what gender the player character is. If female Alex, Jorge accuses them of being the mother of Shen's secret children, to which Shen clarifies that he has no children and Jorge shouldn't trust tabloids. They finish eating and part ways.

Alex and Shen notice it's getting dark and Shen grumbles about losing track of time and that there's probably people waiting for his input. He asks Alex what they thought of the park and tells them about a company event at the waterpark on the 18th. He then tells Alex to meet him in his office in the morning when they come to a decision about where they want to intern and encourages them to think hard about it.

Friday the 10th starts with Alex and dad discussing where they want to intern, player must choose Long Shen to trigger Shen's route. Dad discusses that it might not be an option as Shen is a very busy man and Alex says they'll just hope that he'll let them intern with him. Alex then goes to Shen's office where he asks if they made their decision. When Alex says they want to work under him, he's silent for a moment before asking them to repeat themselves, surprised by their answer. He thinks out loud about how he had no intention of taking on an assistant anytime soon, but decides to make an exception. He tells them to show up Monday to start their internship. After leaving Shen's office, if player chooses to wander the halls, they'll run into Sarah again who explains that she's known Shen for a while. She gives Alex advice about Shen, he likes having his ego stroked.

On Saturday the 11th, Shen can show up at the gloryhole. He doesn't say anything, but Alex notes how wet his penis is and how watery his cum is.

On Sunday the 12th, Alex starts their day by researching Shen and Sihai Industries. They find that not much is known of Shen's childhood as he insists that it's boring but it makes people think he's hiding something. They also find that Shen fired someone over their resistance to hiring a boar as a scientist, which makes Alex feel better about him. If they look through dirty speculations, they find a bunch of contradicting accounts about his love life and penis size, which make Alex curious.

Alex then goes for a walk where they find a new wings restaurant and decide to check it out. Once inside they see Shen with a massive basket of hot wings. He reveals that he was supposed to meet someone there but they never showed up. Alex notes how he eats the wings with no regard for how spicy they are. He invites Alex to join him before asking if they're ready to start on Monday. He gives them a piece of advice that he thinks will help them succeed which is to remain curious and learn as much as they can to satiate that curiosity. He gets a phone call and excuses himself, giving his remaining wings to Alex.

Monday the 13th starts with Alex waking up in a panic over being late. When they get to Shen's office they apologize for being late. Shen smiles and tells them not to worry as long as they don't make a habit out of it. He sends Alex to fetch a report from Jehu and meets back up with them in R&D where the report is given to Isaac. Shen explains that Isaac is in charge of a confidential project and praises Alex if they don't ask questions about it and says they might find out later if they do. Shen sends them on a great deal of errands, getting a list of questions and comments from people they spoke to.

Alex meets with Shen for lunch at the park to show him the list of concerns they've compiled. Shen sommends Alex for being approachable if people had no worries talking to them but warns them that people might think they're easy to use. Shen get's them lunch and during conversation, he lets it slip that an "incident" happened over the weekend, but changes the subject quickly by asking Alex about themselves. Depending on Alex's answer they learn that Shen like super hero movies, hasn't really played video games but is interested, and that Shen like going on walks especially when it's raining. If NSFW mode is on, Alex can say they like to have passionate sex with strangers, the air around Shen gets steamy. Regardless of Alex's answer, they learn that Shen doesn't get much time to do anything other than work and he promised himself he'd give it his all. There's also hints at loneliness in Shen's responses. Shen thanks Alex for joining him for lunch and asks them to follow him so they can see how issues are supposed to be handled.

Alex watches Shen give everyone his undivided attention deal with every problem as if it was of great importance and does his best to offer a solution. Alex notes that he is optimistic and helpful but also notices how stressed he is. At the end of the day, Alex can say something. Depending on what they say, Shen will respond that not every day will be as chaotic as this one but he can't guarantee it. That he agrees that he's incredible, but Alex shouldn't sell themselves short. And that, even though he agrees he needs a day off, he will not do that. If Alex told Shen that they like to have sex with strangers, they can bring it up during this conversation and ask if Shen would like their help to let off some steam. During this interaction, the air around Shen gets very humid and Alex comments on how his cum tastes better than they were expecting. If Alex got Shen at the gloryhole on the 11th, they will comment on how they saw Shen's penis before.

If Alex gives Shen a blowjob, he reveals that the favor dad did for him was not sexual in nature and promises again that he'd tell them soon.

Alex goes home and thinks about their day with Shen and how he doesn't seem to have a lot of time to himself.
