Chapter 143 Moving House, Doing Business with a Mature Woman (Part 2)

'How could I have forgotten about that!'

Shen Mingchuan slapped his head in frustration.

Yesterday, seeing that it was getting late, I wanted Lin Shen to stay at my house, but I completely forgot to change the sheets on his bed in the master bedroom!

How careless!
Ah Ping was so considerate and sensible; she knew to help me change.

Shen Mingchuan felt a warmth in his heart. After vomiting violently into the toilet, the burning sensation in his chest subsided considerably.

He slowly stood up, washed his face first, and tried to clear his mind, which was still numbed by alcohol, for a moment.

He then left the bathroom, went to the kitchen, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.

After the cold water flowed down my throat and esophagus, the sour feeling in my mouth and the bloating in my stomach subsided considerably.

This made Shen Mingchuan breathe a sigh of relief, and he looked at the clock on the wall.

At this time, Aping should have taken An'an to school, right?

Shen Mingchuan went to the inner room first, and sure enough, he didn't find An'an.

Then he went to the master bedroom, and his expression froze when he opened the door.

Because it was just too messy inside!

The clean, tidy new bed sheets looked out of place among them.

"Looks like Lin Shen's alcohol tolerance isn't very high either..."

Shen Mingchuan muttered to himself, and soon realized that the messy state of the master bedroom was probably caused by Lin Shen when he was drunk.

Before Ah Ping left, she didn't even bother to help clean up.

While Shen Mingchuan was complaining in his heart, he was also delighted and overjoyed by Lin Ping's performance last night.

Judging from her reactions in all aspects, she does want to get back together!

If that's the case, then things are much easier!

Shen Mingchuan's hope was rekindled.

After all, his wedding anniversary with Lin Ping was coming up soon, and he planned to formally propose to his ex-wife again on that day!

10:30 AM.
Min'an Residential Community, Building 5, Room 403.

Crash-!
The sound of the shower in the bathroom gradually subsided.

After taking a shower following his morning exercise, Lin Shen came out wrapped in a bathrobe.

Actually, last night he really wanted to get closer to Lin Ping, this beautiful young woman, and at the same time soothe her fragile heart.

After all, pulling up his pants and leaving is not Lin Shen's usual practice.

But in the end, he still called a designated driver to take him home.

The reason is nothing more than being a little bit of a germaphobe.

It's fine if Lin Shen sleeps in a clean and tidy bed, but if someone else's bed is ruined like that, even if you change the sheets, he really can't fall asleep.

Moreover, the air was filled not only with a faint smell of smoke, but also with a hint of body odor!
If it weren't for helping Lin Ping, Lin Shen would have wanted to go straight home after drinking!
Fortunately, the most important thing has been taken care of.

I tasted Lin Ping's most alluring and sweet state.

Recalling the enchanting events of last night, Lin Shen still felt a lingering sense of satisfaction, a faint smile on his face.

"There will be opportunities in the future."

Lin Shen's lips unconsciously curled up slightly. He picked up his phone from the table and found that he hadn't deleted the text message he received last night.

「建设银行：您尾号7946的账户于08月29日00:01收入RMB100，000元，当前余额：8，620，000」

Why is there an extra 20,000?
Lin Shen opened the Goddess Strategy Guide and checked it out, then suddenly realized what was going on.

"hey-hey."

Lin Shen gave a mischievous chuckle, then searched on Taobao and bought a lot of strange QQ-themed clothes and toys.

He used to have them at home, but after breaking up with Gu Wanting, he threw them all away, leaving none behind.

Looking back now, it's a bit of a pity.

"Let Lin Ping try it out when the goods arrive."

Lin Shen put down his phone, found some loungewear to wear, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to get to work.

His task in the morning was simple: pack his bags and prepare to move!
After all, more than three million has already been spent, so it's definitely better to move in and enjoy it sooner rather than later.

So Lin Shen contacted Shen Yun and Wang Li in advance to inform them about the move.

Then I opened the wardrobe and first folded up all the LV and Gucci clothes I had bought and put them into my suitcase.

Next came some more valuable items.

Items including necklaces, watches, and cameras were all packed into cardboard boxes and sealed with tape.

Of course, Lin Shen didn't forget his piggy bank that had been with him for many years.

And underneath it, a small note handwritten by Gu Wanqing.

Seeing the neat handwriting always reminds Lin Shen of the girl's adorable side, and he looks forward to the start of the new school term.

It should be soon, right?
It will take about ten days.

Lin Shen smiled knowingly.

11 o'clock noon.

In just over an hour, Lin Shen had almost finished packing up everything he needed to take with him, and then sent a message to his personal consultant, Xiao Wang.

Soon after, she sent a moving company with a small truck to the building.

However, Lin Shen had so few belongings that the cargo box was not even half full.

Only then did he realize that after living in Shanghai for three years, all he owned were these few cardboard boxes and two suitcases.

"Hey bro! You didn't forget anything, did you?"

The driver's question brought Lin Shen back to his senses, and he immediately went upstairs.

"Yes, I'll go up now, please wait a moment."

"okay."

In fact, Lin Shen had brought all his luggage and hadn't forgotten anything.

If I had to say, there would only be one.

remember.

Click——!
Lin Shen unlocked the door with his key and, as usual, entered his rented room.

The room, which was originally full of life, now seemed unusually quiet and dull.

Looking at the empty room, Lin Shen suddenly felt a sense of melancholy and confusion.

It's not that he still clings to his past relationship, but rather that he misses the tough years he spent working hard in Shanghai.

Three years of memories, like a flipbook from childhood, began to flash rapidly through Lin Shen's mind.

First time renting an apartment, first time cooking, first time buying a new phone with my salary, first time not going home for a holiday...

A flood of memories rushed back.

Lin Shen sat on the sofa and looked around, spending a long time alone in silence.

He had expected to feel joy and excitement as he moved into his new house.

But reality brings a strong sense of disappointment.

Is this just a nostalgic feeling that all boys have?
Lin Shen was a little confused, his thoughts drifting until his cell phone rang.

"Hey! Bro! Still not done? I've been waiting for you downstairs for over ten minutes."

"Come here."

Lin Shen hung up the phone, got up and left the living room. He glanced back at the rented room one last time before walking out the door.

boom--!
After locking the security door, Lin Shenzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Say goodbye to the past, it's time to pick yourself up and embrace a new life!

12:30 PM.

The moving company's small truck arrived on time near the main entrance of Sunac Riverside No. 1 Courtyard.

Upon arrival at the destination, the driver was genuinely bewildered.

What is this for me?

The driver has been working in the moving industry for over ten years, and this is the biggest change he has ever witnessed.

From a cramped and remote old apartment in the suburbs to a luxury residential complex in the heart of Shanghai.

Did that young man win the lottery?

Why is there such a big difference in the living environment before and after?
After the driver got out of the car, Shen Yun and Wang Li, who had been waiting at the door, came to greet him.

"Master, you're here. Where is General Manager Lin?"

Mr. Lin?
The driver was a little confused, unable to connect such a respectful title with the young man who had just stayed in the rented room.

Could it be that I've mistaken the client for someone else?
Just as the driver was about to ask something, a pure black Jaguar XFL stopped behind the van and honked its horn twice.

"Master, let's go."

Upon seeing Lin Shen arrive, Wang Li and Shen Yun led the driver to Building 8.

Downstairs, four burly men in vests had been waiting for some time.

Just as they were getting ready to help move the luggage, they were stunned to see that there were only a few items in the cargo box.

so little?
Not only did the four burly men stare at each other in disbelief, but Shen Yun and Wang Li were also taken aback at the same time.

After Lin Shen got out of the car, he walked over and explained with a smile.

"The new home has complete living facilities, so I didn't plan to move some of the furniture and just left it at my old home."

"Mr. Lin, you are so easygoing."

Wang Li praised him, and then directed the strong men to start moving the luggage.

Shen Yun then swayed her hips and came to Lin Shen's side with a charming smile.

"I've already entered your license plate number into the security guard's account. If you have time, please fill in your personal information in the Sunac Riverside No. 1 Courtyard owner's app."

"it is good."

Lin Shen blinked as he looked at the beautiful mature woman beside him.

She seemed to have dressed up deliberately today.

The upper body is a pure black halter-neck sleeveless top with sexy lace patterns at the neckline, and is adorned with a jewelry necklace, making it look very alluring.

The lower half features a matching bodycon skirt, paired with black stockings and high heels, outlining a graceful figure.

Moreover, her makeup was more refined than her previous light makeup, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, showing her mature and elegant side.

"Haven't had lunch yet, have you?"

Shen Yun said with a smile.

"How about your aunt treats you to a private banquet here?"

"it is good."

Lin Shen gladly accepted Shen Yun's invitation to the banquet.

After arriving at the private banquet hall of Sunac Riverside No. 1 Courtyard, the two were served a Michelin-starred chef who prepared a meal for them. The menu included a variety of dishes, from the eight major Chinese cuisines to French and Italian cuisine.

"Aunt Shen, you've gone to so much trouble." Lin Shen could tell at a glance that this kind of private banquet must be quite expensive, but Shen Yun waved her hand dismissively.

"Oh, don't worry about the money. It's all about reciprocity!"

"Thank you."

Lin Shen said politely, which made Shen Yun feel slightly resentful.

"If you keep being so polite to your aunt, she'll get angry. You're being too formal."

"Feel sorry."

Can't we be more informal?
Lin Shen smiled sheepishly on the surface, but inwardly he was constantly complaining.

We've only known each other for a short time...we've only met twice in total!
Do we know each other well?
Lin Shen noticed that ever since he started working out and underwent a dramatic transformation in his appearance, almost everyone around him felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to him.

What happened to the social barriers that exist between strangers?
How come everyone's become so outgoing and friendly?

At this moment, Lin Shen fully understood how crucial appearance is in interpersonal relationships.

Just two meetings were enough to make a wealthy, mature woman in her forties lower her guard and open up to you completely.

Being too charming can be a bad thing!

Upon noticing the affectionate gaze of the beautiful mature woman beside him, Lin Shen sighed inwardly.

As one exquisite dish after another was served, Shen Yun began to chat with Lin Shen about various topics.

Especially in terms of his lifestyle, they are clearly very interested in him as a person.

However, Lin Shen was more concerned about the business aspect.

When he felt the time was right and his relationship with Shen Yun had become more familiar, he suddenly asked.

"Aunt Shen, I wonder if your food processing plant makes pet food?"

Pet food?
Shen Yun blinked her eyes and quickly understood the meaning behind Lin Shen's words, so she smiled and said.

"I've never done this before, but it should be easy to modify, since the equipment and production line are similar, and the production license is easier to obtain."

"What? You want to start a pet business?"

"I have this idea."

Lin Shen admitted that this did catch Shen Yun's eye.

The food processing industry is currently extremely competitive, with fierce competition and a proliferation of snack and treat franchises.

Perhaps we should find another way, a path with fewer competitors.

only……

Shen Yun said with some concern.

"The pet business is not easy; you need both connections and capital."

"Don't worry, I have both of those qualities."

Lin Shen smiled slightly, his expression quite confident.

"According to my research, the demand in the domestic pet market is increasing every year. Excluding some people with allergies and obsessive-compulsive disorder, 90% of people have a positive and friendly attitude towards cute pets."

"But most of the pet brands that people recognize are from foreign countries and foreign-funded enterprises. Very few domestic brands have gained popularity. The only one that can be counted is PetHome."

"But they are positioned as high-end brands, so there is a lack of affordable pet brands in China."

"Moreover, from what I understand, the pet industry is the easiest to develop a business through a franchise model!"

Franchise model?

Shen Yun looked somewhat bewildered, but Lin Shen spoke eloquently.

"Yes, the franchise model!"

"Most people have three major concerns when buying a pet: first, they worry about buying a pet with multiple potential diseases; second, they don't know where to take their pet to the vet if it gets sick; and third, they worry about the safety and nutrition of pet food."

"These problems can all be solved through offline franchise stores."

"As long as we build brand awareness, expand the number of offline stores, and adopt a low-price strategy, I think we can still succeed!"

"..."

Upon hearing Lin Shen's imaginative entrepreneurial plan, Shen Yun was actually somewhat tempted.

As a seasoned businesswoman with many years of experience, she only needs to look at a few details to determine the feasibility of a plan.

Although Lin Shen simply outlined the company's future business plan, Shen Yun found it to be very reasonable.

Lin Shen conducted a thorough and meticulous investigation into everything from market direction and product competitiveness to the overall company ecosystem.

This shows that he had made thorough preparations long ago and possesses an extremely keen business sense and judgment!
Lin Shen's mature and logical way of speaking earned Shen Yun's admiration.

No wonder he can earn tens of millions at only twenty-something years old.

Wow, that's something!
"So I want to collaborate with you, Aunt Shen, to become my exclusive pet food manufacturer."

Lin Shen looked at Shen Yun with anticipation, but she hesitated.

Although she trusted Lin Shen, the matter was of great importance; if the factory were to directly transition from producing human food to producing pet food,
Formula, process, packaging, price...

Every step is related to the future of the factory.

If it's just me, it's fine, but if I lose money, how will my hundreds of employees survive?
This was the primary issue Shen Yun was considering.

However, she couldn't bear to reject Lin Shen directly, after all, she didn't want to ruin the relationship that was gradually becoming familiar between the two.

After carefully considering her words, Shen Yun hesitated before speaking.

“I can agree, but applying for a pet food production license will take some time, and the facilities and production lines will also need to be rectified.”

"It's okay, I can wait."

Lin Shen smiled, his fingers interlaced and his chin resting on his hand.

"If you'd like to become my partner, or if all else fails, I can fund the acquisition of a small pet food manufacturing company for you and obtain its operating license directly."

"And I can provide you with all the necessary facilities and production lines."

Ok?
Shen Yun blinked her eyes slightly, looking surprised. She really hadn't expected Lin Shen to make such a bold suggestion.

Acquiring a compliant pet food contract manufacturer, plus a complete production line, would probably cost at least 20 million, right?

He spent over 30 million on a house, yet he still has money to invest in a pet food production line?
Now Shen Yun had to re-evaluate Lin Shen and consider how much usable funds he actually had.

It feels like it's worth more than two hundred million!

"Forget it, Auntie doesn't have that kind of courage."

Although Lin Shen dared to do it, Shen Yun dared not accept such a windfall, so she chuckled lightly.

"Auntie needs to think about this some more. I'll give you an answer in a while, okay?"

"it is good."

Lin Shen wasn't annoyed, after all, he didn't have 20 million on hand right now.

He plans to start step by step, testing the market reaction through cat cafes to see if it will be effective.

If it works well, we can consider bringing Shen Yun on board.

It's okay if the results are poor, since there's a safety net in the system, and it's not like the money in your bank account is going to be lost.

Lin Shen fell into deep thought, and Shen Yun, seeing that he didn't speak, thought that her hesitation had disappointed him, so she quickly said something.

"Auntie didn't mean to reject you, so don't overthink it."

"I know."

Lin Shen still had his signature bright smile on his lips.

"I'm already very happy that Aunt Shen can consider what I said."

"Xiao Shen..."

Shen Yun was deeply moved when she heard Lin Shen's words.

Her previously serious eyes suddenly welled up with tears, her gaze becoming alluring.

"I'm so glad you think that way. If you could give me a pet food recipe, I'm thinking of trying to convert a production line into one!"

"Really?"

Lin Shen was overjoyed, realizing for the first time that being handsome could actually put food on the table.

It's at least very useful for negotiating business!
So Lin Shen decided to use his good looks to win over Shen Yun even further, and without hesitation, he took her hand and said affectionately.

"Aunt Shen, thank you."

"..."

Shen Yun's heart raced, and a blush crept onto her alluring face.

She hadn't felt the sensation of a man holding her hand in a long time.

What's more, the other party is a handsome young man with delicate features and a strong physique!
This caused Shen Yun's heart to gradually succumb, and her long-suppressed desires began to surge.

So she couldn't help but say.

"You're welcome, Xiao Shen. If you're free tonight, how about we go for a drink and talk about this in detail?"

"I'm sorry, Aunt Shen, I have something to do tonight, so I'll have to do it another day."

Lin Shen's tone was full of apology, which made Shen Yun feel slightly disappointed.

"Ok."

Of course, Lin Shen saw all of Shen Yun's reactions and knew very well what the beautiful mature woman in front of him was thinking.

For mature women who have been lonely for a long time and haven't been in contact with men for many years, readily agreeing will only quickly satisfy their intense physical and mental desires, but it won't make them addicted.

Only by playing hard to get, occasionally arousing her desires, and then giving her a memorable shock at the breaking point, can you make her completely fall for you and become unable to extricate herself!
That's why Lin Shen rejected Shen Yun even though he understood her implication; the timing wasn't right yet.

This will only get you the body of a mature woman, not her heart.

Lin Shen was trying to maximize his profits as much as possible.

Otherwise, wouldn't the sacrifice of hue have been in vain?

Did I just let him eat young grass for nothing?
Lin Shen pondered silently, while Shen Yun was also considering something.

And so, lunch ended in a rather quiet and eerie atmosphere.

When Lin Shen and Shen Yun returned to the ground floor of Building 8, all their luggage had already been moved.

After the two went upstairs, Wang Li immediately came over to greet them and asked them what was wrong.

"Mr. Lin, your luggage has been taken care of. Would you like me to help you unpack?"

"no need."

Lin Shen waved his hand and smiled.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's no trouble at all! Please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything. I'll be going now."

"it is good."

After watching Wang Li leave with several burly men who were moving, only Lin Shen and Shen Yun remained in the large living room.

Looking at her familiar surroundings, she was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion.

"When we bought the house, my aunt immediately fell in love with the floor and the balcony with the view. She even personally supervised the renovation. But now..."

"From now on, you will be the new owner of this house. I have deleted my facial and fingerprint recognition from the door lock, so I'm afraid I will never have the chance to come in again."

Why not?

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

"If Aunt Shen would like to come, I welcome her anytime."

"Really?"

Shen Yun's eyes lit up immediately. She slowly walked up to Lin Shen and asked in a low voice with a charming smile.

"Is any time fine?"
