Chapter 161 is a perfect match! (Two chapters combined)

Wednesday, September 2, 2025.

21℃～31℃, cloudy, southeast wind at level 3, humidity 32%.

「建设银行：您尾号7946的账户于09月02日00:01收入RMB110，000元，当前余额：11，320，000」

Lin Shen woke up promptly at eight o'clock in the morning.

He first checked the watch on his left wrist, which showed that his deep sleep time had increased by at least 30% compared to before.

This shows that sleep aids are indeed effective!

And the effect is excellent!
"nice!"

Lin Shen stretched and stood by the window, feeling refreshed and without any trace of the previous fatigue or exhaustion in his mind.

My eyes don't feel sore, and my neck doesn't hurt.

"Looks like I can use sleep aids to recover my energy after staying up all night with women."

Lin Shen went to the bathroom to wash up, made himself breakfast, and then, instead of going to the gym as usual, poured himself a cup of coffee and went into his study.

He had more important things to do this morning.

That means registering a company!
This was an exciting moment for Lin Shen!

Even his usually calm and composed heart was now subtly restless and tense.

Lin took a deep breath, sat in front of the computer, repeatedly reviewed relevant information, and then logged into the online "One-Window Service" in Shanghai to fill in the relevant information.

Name: Shennan Pet Service Co., Ltd.

Address: 14th Floor, Huamao Building, JA District.

Registered capital: 250 million.

Business scope: Pet services.

Shareholders: Lin Shen (60%), Qin Yuennan (40%).

Legal person: Lin Shen.

Supervisor: Qin Yuennan.

Financial Officer: Lin Shen.

After confirming that there were no problems, Lin Shen clicked submit and contacted Qin Yuennan to have her complete the verification online.

To avoid unnecessary disputes, Lin Shen deliberately increased his shareholding by 20% to gain control of the company.

This was something Qin Yuennan agreed to, so she had no objections.

Rather, she would have agreed even if Lin Shen hadn't given her shares.

[Qin Yuennan: I'm all set on my end. Regarding the finance manager, once the application is approved, remember to have someone you trust replace you.]
[Lin Shen: Isn't that you, Sister Nan?]
[Qin Yuennan: You'll have to handle the initial stages of starting your business yourself. I can help you later, but I can't guarantee a successful outcome.]
[Lin Shen: It's alright.]
Lin Shen hadn't thought that far ahead at all; he was definitely going to take it one step at a time for now.

Actually, he was still a little uneasy, afraid that he might make a mistake at some point and fail the application.

But since he's already submitted the documents, all he can do now is wait for the outcome.

Lin Shen got up and left the study. After tidying his clothes, he drove to Shennan Pet Club.

To promote his soon-to-open cat café, he contacted more than a dozen pet bloggers with large followings in Shanghai on Douyin and arranged to film promotional videos today.

It cost approximately 500,000 in total.

However, this amount of money was nothing to Lin Shen.

Moreover, he paid the money directly from the Xingtu platform, which not only covered all of the low-level startup fund, but also helped him complete the task of getting rid of Yang!

[Host's entrepreneurial intentions detected. 50 has been withdrawn. Current startup fund balance: 850 million]

[Task: Accumulate 100 million RMB in spending on Douyin and gain 5 followers (Completed)]

[Shuaiyang lv.6→lv.7]

[Reward: Earn 45%+50% cashback on any purchase made on Douyin]

[Reward: 1 random skill books]

[Upgrade Task: Create a Douyin (TikTok) fan group with 500 members and gain 10 followers.]

Lin Shen tried opening the skill book and this time chose the humanities.

[B2 Level German Proficiency (0/200)]

Oh?
Lin Shen was slightly taken aback by the fact that he was proficient in another foreign language, but then he felt a secret thrill.

German is great!

German can be learned!
This way, you don't need to type for translation; you can communicate with Iria directly using voice.

Lin Shenke hadn't forgotten his friend who was far away in a foreign country, so he tried sending her a voice message.

[Lin Shen: Irea, what do you think of my new German? (German)]
According to the time difference, Iria should be sleeping at this time.

Therefore, Lin Shen was not in a hurry to receive a reply from the other party.

-

-

9:30 a.m., Shennan Pet Club.

The once quiet entrance is now filled with all sorts of cars.

A dozen pet bloggers gathered at the cat cafe, exchanging greetings and creating a lively atmosphere.

"Furry Dad? What brings you here? Long time no see!"

"Yeah, I just got a business order, so I came to join in the fun. I didn't expect you to be here too!"

"I only came here because I got a business order. It's really not easy to get a business order for an offline cat café these days, especially one that costs 30,000 yuan per session! This boss is so generous!"

"Why do I only get 20,000?"

"You have half as many followers as me, only 10,000 less, which is already quite good. It means that the boss isn't nitpicking about you, but you're complaining about it here."

"hey-hey."

……

Amidst laughter and chatter, Lin Ping was completely overwhelmed with work, since she was the only one in the shop at the moment.

Although she had already learned from Lin Shen that guests were coming, she didn't expect so many people to come!
So she hurried to make coffee, and even though she was very busy, she still politely smiled and served it to everyone.

"Excuse me, everyone, my boss is on his way. Please have some coffee first."

"Okay, thanks."

After thanking them, someone asked them a question out of curiosity.

"By the way, didn't your boss also edit the video for the recently viral hookah video? He's really amazing!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I watched that video too! The post-production was fantastic! Especially the last part, it almost made me, a person in my thirties, cry! Ah, youth... so beautiful!"

"I took the business deal after seeing that video. I mainly wanted to see what kind of person the owner of this cat cafe was and learn from him."

"That video was indeed edited by our boss."

Hearing everyone praising Lin Shen, Lin Ping smiled sweetly, feeling a surge of pride and satisfaction.

Lin Shen had previously instructed her to manage the "Shennan Pet Club" Douyin account after the cat cafe opened.

Therefore, during this period, Lin Ping, who doesn't surf the internet much, has been learning how to manage and operate an account, and naturally she also knows about the viral video of Jiang Wan.

She was shocked when she saw it. She never expected that Lin Shen, besides being handsome and rich, would also be good at post-production!
This guy is simply a genius!

Besides admiration, Lin Ping felt that she also felt a deep sense of worship and respect for Lin Shen.

Therefore, when someone asks, "What kind of person is your boss?" she will answer with a warm smile.

"He's an exceptionally capable person!"

Ding dong——!
Just then, the clear sound of wind chimes rang out, and everyone looked toward the door.

He was a young man with a faint smile on his lips.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Lin Ping's eyes lit up!
"Wow, so many people... Hello everyone."

Lin Shen walked towards the center of the crowd, stopped, looked around, and politely introduced himself.

"I am Lin Shen, the owner of Shennan Pet Shop. Welcome to our home."

"Are you the boss?"

Maoqiu's father was the first to stand up, looking utterly astonished.

He had assumed that Lin Shen would be like himself, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties with rich social experience.

But to everyone's surprise, when they met him in person, he turned out to be a young man in his early twenties!

Moreover, he is not only handsome, but also has a very elegant temperament. His outfits combine simplicity and fashion, perfectly interpreting the true meaning of the term "tall, rich, and handsome".

"Hello Mr. Lin, I am Maoqiu's father."

After seeing Maoqiu's father shake hands with Lin Shen, these pet bloggers also stood up to shake hands with him politely and introduce themselves and their pets.

"My name is Aruan, and I raise a sea swan doll."

"I'm Xiaoyuan, a good news! My Xiaoyuan is a British Shorthair."

"..."

Lin Shen smiled and nodded to everyone, seemingly remembering all their names, but in reality, he didn't remember a single one.

But that's not the point.

"Why don't we all start filming?"

After the pleasantries had been exchanged, Lin Shen smiled lightly at everyone.

"The reason we're in such a hurry to invite everyone is because we're about to open and we hope to start promoting it as soon as possible. Please forgive us if we haven't been able to provide adequate hospitality."

"it's okay no problem!"

Lin Shen's generosity had long impressed everyone.

It must have cost at least 400,000 to 500,000 yuan to get so many pet bloggers to do the promotion.

What does this mean?
This shows that Lin Shen is someone who loves the pet industry and has the resources to develop in this field.

Who knows, he might make a name for himself in the future!

Therefore, everyone has a certain goodwill towards him and regards this store visit as an investment.

Of course, there is another crucial factor: Lin Shen is handsome and has a good image.

For both men and women, good looks are arguably the most valuable, yet also the most effective, advantage in social interactions.

Pet bloggers set up their equipment and took turns interacting with the cats in the pet community with their own cats, capturing their cute and well-behaved moments without disturbing each other.

Lin Ping took on the logistical support work very well.

For example, he's very diligent when it comes to handing things over or pouring water.

This made Lin Shen's gaze towards her much gentler, with a hint of surprise mixed in.

Because Lin Ping's attire today is very unusual.

She was wearing yoga pants!

Light brown fitted long-sleeved top + dark gray yoga pants.

She accentuated the curves of her usually unremarkable buttocks, making them appear more lustrous and full.

This made Lin Shen secretly admire him.

The young married woman has also begun to use her charm and allure to seduce men...

"Mr. Lin, would you like some coffee?"

A corner of the cat cafe.

After Lin Ping brought over the coffee, Lin Shen looked at her flushed face and asked with a smile.

"Why are you dressed like this today?"

"I did a little exercise."

Lin Ping lowered her head shyly.

Since confirming her relationship with Lin Shen, she has gradually begun to pay attention to managing her figure.

After all, this is her "capital" for survival!

So Lin Ping searched online and learned that yoga is not only suitable for stretching and relaxing tired bodies, but also for shaping a perfect body curve.

Therefore, she started practicing by following online videos and bought related clothes.

"That's good." Lin Shen was very satisfied with Lin Ping's serious attitude towards their relationship, and then said softly.

"Thank you for your hard work today. You should be free this afternoon, right?"

"It's not hard work! Besides minding the shop, there shouldn't be anything else to do..."

Lin Ping looked at Lin Shen with anticipation, her beautiful eyes gradually filling with a thin layer of mist.

Are you planning to make me close down the shop?

"Correct."

A faint smile played on Lin Shen's lips.

"You've worked hard these past few days. As a reward, I'm planning to buy you and An'an something."

"It's not hard work, it's what I should do, you don't need to reward me."

Lin Ping's face was flushed, and her nervous gaze kept stealing glances at the pet bloggers filming not far away.

Such bold and intimate behavior from Lin Shen made her, who was usually reserved, feel especially shy.

Even so, she did not reject Lin Shen's "teasing," but instead moved even closer to him.

This made Lin Shen's lips curl slightly, and then he pretended to be angry and said coldly.

"Follow my instructions."

"Okay, Mr. Lin, thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Lin Shen grinned mischievously.

"After all, it's only natural for a sugar daddy to spend money on his mistress."

"..."

Lin Ping pursed her thin lips, and then Lin Shen pulled her onto his lap.

Many pet bloggers, after catching a glimpse of the two being so affectionate in the corner, consciously pretended not to see anything and quietly recorded their own videos.

However, my heart was filled with curiosity about gossip.

So that's what their relationship was like?
This has already crossed the line between boss and subordinate!

However, Lin Shen is clearly a wealthy second-generation heir, and the female store manager is also mature and beautiful, so it's quite normal for them to have this kind of relationship.

"I'm going to check on the renovations next door. You stay here and mind the shop."

Lin Shen said softly, while Lin Ping looked resentful.

"Okay~"

"how?"

Lin Shen leaned down and whispered in Lin Ping's ear with a smile.

"You'll be in for a world of hurt tonight."

"..."

Lin Ping clearly understood the meaning behind Lin Shen's words, and the blush on her cheeks made her even more beautiful.

She stood up from Lin Shen's embrace and whispered.

"I've gone to help."

"Go."

Lin Shen went to the next room.

The renovation is almost finished, and you can go in for a site inspection through a small door in the fence.

When Lin Shen arrived at the store, he initially thought he had gone to the wrong place.

The old, dilapidated chicken pot restaurant is gone, replaced by a cozy and comforting cat cafe with an Instagram-worthy vibe.

Warm yellow light emanated from the cotton and linen lampshades of the dome, casting dappled patterns of light on the natural wood floor.

The wall paint was a light cream white that Lin Shen specially chose, and the original kitchen area was replaced by a walnut-colored bar counter.

The pillars in the lobby were enclosed with rattan hanging baskets and cat climbing frames, which greatly improved the space utilization.

"looks good."

Lin Shen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and just then, Zhou Bin, wearing a safety helmet, walked over.

"President Lin? You've arrived!"

"Well, I'll come over and take a look."

"Then let me show you around."

As the chief designer of this 160-square-meter cat cafe, Zhou Bin is clearly quite confident in his work.

"This is the reception area. I have specially installed several bookshelves here. You can buy some books and put them up for your convenience."

"This is the graffiti area. The walls have been specially treated with an erasable coating. You can wipe it off with a damp cloth without leaving any trace."

"This is the supplies area, which was originally the restaurant's kitchen. Although we cleaned it carefully, there were still some odors in the early stages of opening, so I converted it into a bar counter, away from the customers."

"..."

Lin Shen nodded in satisfaction, feeling that the renovation cost of over 300,000 yuan was quite worthwhile.

Most importantly, Jutong Hengzhuang has prepared tables, chairs, and cat trees to match the cozy Instagram style for you.

They can be delivered from the warehouse and installed at any time once the renovation is completed.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After giving Zhou Bin a general tour, Lin Shen patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"I'll pay the remaining balance of the renovation today, and I'll also give you a red envelope. You've gone to a lot of trouble these past few days."

"Oh? Thank you so much!"

Zhou Bin quickly thanked Lin Shen, his heart filled with surprise and joy.

Working for a big boss like that must be awesome!

Not only is the checkout fast, but you can even get a red envelope!
"Mr. Lin, please take care!"

"Ah."

Lin Shen returned to Shennan Pet Club and found that many pet bloggers had already finished filming their videos.

So he searched for nearby restaurants, made reservations, and smiled at everyone.

“I’ve booked lunch at Fu 1088 nearby. If you don’t mind, I’ll treat you to lunch.”

"Thank you, Boss Lin!"

The pet bloggers were flattered and quickly expressed their gratitude.

They really didn't expect that they would be provided with lunch when they came to shoot commercial deals!
We never received this kind of treatment before! We were always taken and left right away.

Who knew that Lin Shen would be so generous this time!
Although she looks young, she has incredibly high emotional intelligence when it comes to interpersonal relationships!
Aside from a few who had to leave early, after the remaining pet bloggers finished taking photos, Lin Shen led the group to Fu1088 in a grand procession.

It is located in a quiet old villa, and the restaurant still retains the classical architectural charm of old Shanghai.

The red brick walls paired with retro chandeliers create an elegant dining atmosphere.

The pet bloggers who were invited to the banquet were receiving such high-level treatment for the first time. Everyone looked a little stunned and kept marveling at the luxurious environment inside the restaurant.

"Please come in, dear guests!"

Led by two female waitresses dressed in cheongsams, the group arrived at the "Paramount Box" on the top floor.

Sitting in the main seat, Lin Shen also splurged, ordering all of Fu1088's signature dishes in one go.

His generosity and magnanimity led these pet bloggers to speculate about Lin Shen's identity and just how wealthy his family background was.

When people start a business, they are very frugal and try to reduce costs wherever possible.

Lin Shen, on the other hand, not only refused to negotiate the price of the business deal, but even treated everyone to dinner!

It was as if he didn't care whether he made money in business or not, he was just doing it for fun.

I really don't understand the thinking of today's rich kids...

Although puzzled by Lin Shen's perplexing behavior, the pet bloggers were all glad to have met him and were filled with admiration and respect for him.

She even took the initiative to socialize with him during meals, showing concern and care, trying to deepen their relationship and thinking about whether there could be closer cooperation opportunities in the future.

After all, it's not easy to run a self-media business these days. If you can have a big sponsor to back you up, your future income will be more stable.

Almost all the pet bloggers present thought the same thing.

Therefore, what should have been a luncheon for Lin Shen to thank everyone turned into a business dinner where everyone tried to get closer to Lin Shen.

Seeing her lover become the focus of everyone's attention, Lin Ping felt a sense of happiness and pride.

This strengthened her resolve to see this path through to the end!

The luncheon ended at 2 p.m.

First floor.

Lin Shen went to the front desk to pay the bill. He thought he would pay for the banquet himself, but it turned out to be charged to Di De's account!
[Host's entrepreneurial intentions detected. 18600 has been withdrawn. Current startup fund balance: 848 million]

No!

Building interpersonal relationships can be considered "entrepreneurship," right?

Lin Shen was quite surprised, and also felt a little secretly pleased.

Of course, it would be best not to spend the money in your bank card.

"Mr. Lin, we'll be leaving now. We'll send the edited video to you when we get back. If there's anything that needs to be changed, just let me know."

"That's what Daddy Maoqiu exclaimed."

"I watched the video you edited for Shuiyanwei, it's amazing! I hope you can give us more feedback so we can learn from you."

"it is good."

Lin Shen stood at the restaurant entrance, smiling as he watched everyone leave.

At this moment, Lin Ping, who was beside her, breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Lin Shen reached out and put his arm around her voluptuous waist, teasing her.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?"

"Not tired."

"If you're not tired, get in the car and let's go shopping."

"Ah."

Lin Ping felt a warmth in her heart and nestled into Lin Shen's arms, where he helped her into the Jaguar XFL.

The two then went to Wanda Plaza.

The reason Lin Shen didn't choose those more upscale shopping malls was mainly because Lin Ping's personality was gentle, quiet, mature, and stable; she was long past the age of being flamboyant.

Therefore, a more understated and casual style of dressing suits her better.

First floor.

A handsome young man walked into a ZARA women's clothing store with his arm around a sexy young woman.

To be honest, Lin Ping has rarely shopped at physical clothing stores since she got married.

If she needs clothes, she will buy them directly online, shifting all her focus to her family.

As a result, they neglected themselves.

However, now that she's divorced, Lin Ping has more freedom to live for herself.

But looking at the dazzling array of fashions in the store, she still hesitated.

Seeing this, Lin Shen pinched her pert buttocks and chuckled.

"How about I help you choose?"

"Ah."

Lin Ping shyly hummed in agreement, feeling surrounded by a profound sense of happiness.

Lin Shen looked around, then put his arm around her and led her to a clothes rack. He took out a piece of clothing from it and grinned mischievously.

"How about this one?"

This one?

Lin Ping's expression froze slightly when she saw the clothes in Lin Shen's hand.

Because it's a blue pleated skirt similar to those in a JK uniform!
