How to launch exe from PyCharm Terminal?

Question

I'm trying to launch Blender directly from PyCharm Terminal on Windows. I first use cd 'C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.1\' to get into the directory containing the executable I need, and this works okay. Then I call blender.exe and expect it to launch Blender executable from the directory I am currently in. But for some reason it launches the older (2.93) version from another folder. The same steps work just right when I do all the same in the Windows cmd.exe. I've thought that the problem could be with the Python interpreter, but I use Python interpreter that goes with Blender 3.1 in the PyCharm project settings. What am I doing wrong and how can I run the exact executable I need?

P.S. I know that I can write a simple script in Python, use subprocess module, and get almost the same result, but anyway I'd like to use the launch from the Terminal if it is possible.
