Let's talk about Director Jiang's wrapping her arms around Shen's waist and pulling her in. Talk about desire. I also didn't miss the hip/leg wrap around Shen did later. That's not just sex, that's love making.
Tbf, Shen does like her and the reasons she gave for why this would be good for Shen are reasons she likes her.
Really, the thing that's always made Shen feel upset about her is that it never felt to her like she liked her back. Which is why Shen is going along with this, even tho she's getting more and more baffled by what's happening.
