Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Chapter 165 The Secret Discovered by the Mature Woman's Invitation to the Older Woman (Part 2)

Shenwan Media?

Upon seeing this name, Jiang Wan, who was eating in the school cafeteria, couldn't help but feel her heart race.

Does Lin Shen intend to start a media company together using my name and his name?

This is something that would be hard for any girl not to be tempted by.

Sending clothes and bags as gifts is common, but sending a company title is a first for me!

This is much more meaningful than other gifts!
Jiang Wan felt a deep sense of gratitude and warmth, but after thinking about it carefully, the corners of her mouth inexplicably curled up slightly.

Shennan Pet Club.

Shenwan Media.

Junior Lin Shen, you truly treat everyone equally and show kindness to all...

[Jiang Wan: Junior, thank you for your kindness! But you should really think carefully about starting a media company, right? After all, it's a big deal!]
[Lin Shen: Hmm.]
Although he said he needed to think things through carefully, Lin Shen actually already had a plan.

He reasoned that, given the current entrepreneurial landscape, even the best products will struggle to gain recognition without effective marketing and promotion.

The best marketing approach is to master the secrets of internet traffic!
Therefore, Lin Shen thought about it.

Even if I don't start my own media company in the future, I will definitely invest in one to gain control over what I say online.

Since that's the case, why not just do it ourselves!

What's more, he also has two "killer weapons"—the Sun-Splitting Technique and the Big Blue Book.

One offers cashback on purchases, the other offers organic traffic.

It's fair to say that these two cracked apps were created specifically for establishing media companies!

It can both reward the company's streamers to increase their popularity and drive traffic to them through DaLanShu.

Don't be too cool!
Therefore, Lin Shen is determined to establish a media company.

However, it may take some time before it can be put on the agenda, since he has more important things to do right now.

That means getting Shennan Pet Club up and running!
As Lin Shen thought about it, he became increasingly excited, so he quickly took a deep breath to calm himself down and changed the subject to chat with Jiang Wan about their daily life.

[Lin Shen: Senior, have you decided what to film for your next video?]
[Jiang Wan: Hmm... I haven't decided yet. Do you have any good suggestions?]
[Lin Shen: My Deceased Wife's Memoir, what do you think?]
Lin Shen directly sent the task theme of his camera album to Jiang Wan, which made her slightly puzzled.

[Jiang Wan: Are you trying to replicate the success of your last video? Like making a short film with a touching ending?]
[Lin Shen: I guess so. After all, we're feeling our way across the river. Since the last video became a hit, we'll continue filming according to the same logic to maintain a stable number of followers.]
[Lin Shen: The last one was about the bittersweet love story of adolescence, so this time we'll film "A Rare Couple Who Were Teenagers!"]
It's rare for a couple to be teenagers...

Jiang Wan murmured, a number of ideas suddenly popping into her mind, and then replied with a hint of excitement.

[Jiang Wan: Okay! I already know how to write the script. I'll send it to you after I've finished it, okay?]
[Lin Shen: Hmm.]
Lin Shen smiled knowingly, then suddenly remembered the promise he had made to Gu Wanqing.

[Lin Shen: By the way, isn't the School of Foreign Languages ​​at Shanghai International Studies University registering new students this Saturday?]
[Jiang Wan: You're pretty well-informed! Did you hear it from Qingqing? And then she asked you to pick her up, right?]
Can you guess this?

Jiang Wan's emotional intelligence is really high!
Lin Shen smiled.

[Lin Shen: Yes, senior, would you like to come with me to pick up Qingqing?]
[Jiang Wan: I'd like to, but it might be a bit troublesome. I'll definitely be very busy on the day of freshman registration and won't be able to leave the school for a while.]
[Lin Shen: Okay, I didn't think that through.]
[Jiang Wan: Junior, you're not angry, are you? It would be fine if it were a day earlier, but I really couldn't make it on the day of freshman enrollment. Sorry! I'll give you a reward as compensation after we meet, so please look forward to it!]
[Jiang Wan: I love you.jpg]
award?

When Lin Shen saw these two words, the first person he thought of was Qin Yuenan.

After all, she said she would give a reward a few days ago, but she's been busy until now and there's been no follow-up.

This is a true workaholic!

Lin Shen shook his head helplessly. After chatting with Jiang Wan again, he originally planned to tell Gu Wanqing that she couldn't go.

But on second thought, I decided to forget it.

If I told her in advance, she would definitely be disappointed.

We can just make up any excuse then.

After chatting with Jiang Wan for a while, Lin Shen took a picture of his living room and sent it to Qin Yuennan.

[Lin Shen: Sister Nan, what do you think of my home?]
Lin Shen thought Qin Yuennan would reply after a while because she was busy with work, but she replied immediately.

[Qin Yuennan: Is this your home?]
[Lin Shen: Hmm.]
[Qin Yuennan: It's very beautiful, but I have to work overtime until tonight, so I might not be able to spend time with you. How about in a few days?]
Clearly, Qin Yuening understood the implication that Lin Shen had sent photos of his own home, and his apologetic reply left him slightly disappointed.

[Lin Shen: Okay, then Sister Nan, you go ahead with your work.]
[Qin Yuennan: I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you (heart emoji)]
[Qin Yuennan: I love you.jpg]
Seeing that Qin Yuennan had sent the same emoji to Jiang Wan, Lin Shen felt a strange sense of unease.

Is this what it feels like to have your cake and eat it too...? That's kind of exciting!
[Lin Shen: Okay.]
After finishing his chat with Qin Yuenan, Lin Shen cleared the table, then sat on the sofa and created a fan group using the Douyin account "Shennan Pet Club".

Within minutes, more than a dozen people had applied, which surprised Lin Shen.

It seems the fans attracted by the traffic are quite loyal.

They weren't the kind of die-hard fan I imagined.

Just as Lin Shen was preparing to manage the fan group, distribute pre-opening benefits, and complete the task of getting rid of Yang as soon as possible, he suddenly received a message on WeChat.

It was sent by Shen Yun, whom I hadn't contacted for so many days.

[Shen Yun: Xiao Shen, Aunt Shen has brought you some good news!]
[Shen Yun: Photo.]
good news?
Lin Shen was stunned when he opened the photo sent by Shen Yun.

Because the photo shows three ID cards lying on a table.

These are, respectively, licenses for the operation and production of food, and licenses for the production of feed.

Shen Yun actually managed to collect all three necessary certificates for producing pet food!
This greatly surprised Lin Shen.

You know, these three certificates would take at least several months to process, so how come they were done in just one week?
Lin Shen hurriedly inquired, fearing that some unnecessary trouble might occur in the middle of the process.

[Lin Shen: Aunt Shen, how did you get all these certificates done so quickly?]
[Shen Yun: You really think my connections are just for show? Since you've entrusted me with the pet food formula so completely, I have to do my best to help you. So I spent money on entertaining and giving gifts, and naturally, some people will take it very seriously.]
[Shen Yun: Of course, this is all thanks to you. I don't know why, but your pet food formula was registered so quickly, it was done in just one day. That speed surprised even me! Looks like you have some great connections!]
Is the filing process that fast?
Lin Shen pondered silently.

If you're looking for someone, he definitely doesn't have one.

There's only one reason: the low-quality reward for this entrepreneurial secrets is likely due to "cheating."

What was originally several months was shortened to a single week.

Although all of this seems counterintuitive, if you can crack an app yourself, it's a bit unreasonable to talk about its rationality.

After all, this is a "cheat code"!

It cannot be judged by common sense.

So Lin Shen decisively took the blame upon himself.

[Lin Shen: I did find someone, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. It's all thanks to Aunt Shen for being so attentive these past few days. Thank you!]
Lin Shen smiled calmly, a warm feeling spreading through his heart, and his affection for Shen Yun increased even more.

Without any guarantees, she was willing to risk losing money to improve a production line and enter the pet food market, which has a very low return rate.

He even personally used money to cultivate relationships with those above him and leveraged his personal connections, all in order to help Lin Shen produce samples as soon as possible to test the market reaction.

To be honest, these actions really touched Lin Shen.

After all, the two had only known each other for about two weeks, yet Shen Yun was able to cooperate with such sincerity.

Lin Shen never gave her any benefits or fees; all his promises were just empty words and empty promises.

Given Shen Yun's social experience in building a successful business from scratch, the shrewd woman would certainly be aware of Lin Shen's ulterior motives.

But she did it anyway without hesitation, and even put her heart into it!

'Is it because I'm too charming?'

After much thought, Lin Shen realized that the problem might really lie with him.

After all, Shen Yun had hinted more than once that she had feelings for him and wanted to deepen their relationship.

However, Lin Shen has temporarily put this matter aside, since he has too many women around him and simply cannot handle them all.

Although Shen Yun, this beautiful mature woman, is like an overripe peach.

Juicy and delicious, incredibly tempting.

But Lin Shen doesn't want to be "an old cow eating young grass" yet.

However, since she has made such a statement, I should give her some benefits and incentives.

We can't keep people in suspense forever, can we?

Lin Shen hates people like that the most, so he would never do such a thing himself.

Otherwise, it would truly become a case of "the dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself."

Therefore, Lin Shen decisively extended a suggestive invitation to Shen Yun.

[Lin Shen: Aunt Shen, let's meet up sometime. I'd like to thank you in person.]
[Shen Yun: Xiao Shen, you don't really need to be so polite. Auntie did all this willingly. But since you want to thank Auntie, do you remember what you promised her?]
What you promised?
Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on.

[Lin Shen: Shall I accompany you to meet your daughter and ex-husband?]
[Aunt Shen: Yes, we've already arranged a time and place to meet tomorrow. Xiao Shen, are you free?]
[Lin Shen: Yes]
[Shen Yun: That's great, thank you for keeping me company. See you tomorrow then. I'll send you the time and place later.]
[Lin Shen: Hmm]
Lin Shen stretched, got up from the sofa, and took a can of Coca-Cola from the refrigerator.

Bah——!
——Gulp!
After swallowing a mouthful of ice-cold liquid, Lin Shen felt incredibly refreshed.

He then went into his study and logged onto the "One-Window Service" website on his computer to check if his previous application to register a company had been approved.

But the result gave him a big surprise!

Passed?

So fast?
Lin Shen's expression was no longer one of surprise, but rather one of shock. He sat in his chair for a long time, unable to recover from the shock.

Has my entrepreneurial journey been a little too smooth?
I've hardly encountered any major problems!
Lin Shen sighed inwardly, feeling as if an invisible hand was pushing him from behind.

Any decision he makes goes exceptionally smoothly!
'Is the system working its magic?'

Lin Shen didn't have time to think about why this was happening. Now that the company registration was successful, there were still many things to do.

Obtaining a business license, having an official seal made, opening a bank account, and registering for tax purposes.

It's very troublesome.

Lin Shen took clothes out of the closet, dressed in front of the full-length mirror, and then left home with his car keys. *Ding!*
Taking the elevator to the underground parking lot, Lin Shen always felt an inexplicable sense of happiness whenever he saw a Jaguar XFL waiting for him in its parking space.

Get in the car, turn on the air conditioning and stereo, and start the vehicle.

Buzz—!
The roar of the engine rose abruptly amidst the soothing music as Lin Shen drove away from Sunac Riverside No. 1 Courtyard.

5 PM, General Manager's Office of Chongyoujia.

Qin Yuennan had been sitting in the chair in front of her desk for ten minutes, but her graceful figure remained upright.

Her shapely legs, visible beneath her skirt, swayed to the right, her hands resting lightly on her thighs with interlaced fingers, and a hint of coldness emanated from her indifferent gaze.

On the chair behind the desk lay a rather plump woman.

He has a round face and wears silver-rimmed glasses.

His demeanor is very similar to that of "Fu Er," who has been frequently discussed online recently.

She is Sun Mingli, who has been working at Chongyoujia's Shanghai branch for half a month.

At this moment, she was casually flipping through the August marketing report submitted by Qin Yuennan, but she didn't look at it carefully. Instead, she pointed to a line of numbers on the last page, frowned slightly, and questioned it.

Why have marketing costs increased by 20% compared to the previous few months?

"August is summer vacation, and students are already on holiday at home."

Qin Yuennan explained softly.

“Students account for 20% of our Pet Care consumer group, and according to market research, parents are more willing to buy pets to keep their children company during the summer vacation, so marketing costs need to be increased.”

"I've emphasized this countless times in meetings: our strategic target for Chongyoujia is high-end customers, not low-end users!"

Sun Mingli tapped the table and criticized her without any politeness.

"Are you even listening? Students are not within our scope of consideration! Don't you, as the marketing director, know that?"

"I made reasonable marketing arrangements based on the data submitted by the marketing department."

Qin Yuennan was not to be outdone and said coldly.

"If you are not satisfied, Manager Sun, you can replace him at any time."

"You really think I wouldn't dare replace you?"

Seeing that Qin Yuennan dared to talk back, Sun Mingli got angry, slammed her hand on the table, and stood up.

"Qin Yuennan, let me tell you, your position as marketing director is dispensable! Anyone can replace you and do a better job!"

"Good products speak for themselves; marketing is the least useful part of the whole process! Marketing costs should be reduced, not increased! The money saved from marketing should be used to develop products and expand the market! This is the strategic direction for Chongyoujia's premiumization!"

"Product development?"

Faced with Sun Mingli's reprimand, Qin Yuennan remained unmoved, even somewhat wanting to laugh, before launching into a sarcastic remark.

"I remember very clearly all the product development directions you mentioned in the meeting, such as adding different flavors to pet food or changing the appearance of pet food... Hehe."

“If you can’t think of anything, I suggest you don’t think about it. Do you think pet food needs this kind of ‘innovation and research’? The improvement of pet food is already close to saturation. The formulas of various companies are very similar, with the only difference being the proportion of nutrients.”

"To gain a share of the high-end market, the main focus should be on marketing and market. The most important thing to do now is to optimize marketing plans based on customer feedback and seize market share from competitors."

"Only goods that are sold can be called products; goods that are stockpiled in warehouses can only be called goods."

"Selling 10,000 products with a 90% positive review rate will allow the company to go further in the long run than selling 100 products with a 100% positive review rate."

"Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

Sun Mingli probably thought Qin Yuennan's words made sense, and seeing that she couldn't win the argument, she glared at her and started acting like a rogue.

"I am the general manager for the East China region! I have the final say on all plans and strategies!"

"Next month, I need to see your marketing department reduce costs by more than 20%. If you can't do that, you're fired!"

"Then please."

Qin Yuennan was too lazy to waste words with Sun Mingli, so she got up and left without looking back.

The moment the door closed, you could clearly hear the sound of papers being slammed onto the desk and angry shouts coming from inside the office.

This made Qin Yuening's narrowed gaze turn cold, and her desire to leave Chongyou's family intensified.

Perhaps it's time to resign and go find Lin Shen.

I remember he rented an office space on the 14th floor?
After Qin Yuennan stepped into the elevator, she reached out and pressed the button for the 14th floor.

When she arrived, she found that the previously empty 14th floor had already begun renovations.

The corridor was piled with all sorts of building materials, and the walls were covered with dustproof cloth.

Everything seems to be proceeding in an orderly manner.

Has Lin Shen already paid the money?

Qin Yuennan looked surprised, then was amazed and impressed by Lin Shen's decisive actions.

That's incredible speed and efficiency!

Just do it!

Perhaps because she was deeply in love, Qin Yuennan was not worried at all about whether Lin Shen would squander her million yuan; on the contrary, she was quite confident in him.

It seems he's ready to set up a company.

It's time to help him.

Finding there was nowhere to stay, Qin Yuennan took the elevator down to the 3rd floor and returned to her office.

At this moment, Zhao Jianing sent her a message.

[Zhao Jianing: Nannan! Look at the Douyin video I sent you!]
Tik Tok?

Qin Yuennan sat in her office chair, opened Douyin (TikTok), and found that Zhao Jianing had shared a video with her.

She initially thought it was just a normal rekindling of their romance, but after watching the video, she was momentarily stunned and instantly captivated by it.

Rather than calling it a short video, it's more accurate to describe it as a short film with a rich storyline.

The female protagonist fully demonstrated her outstanding acting talent, perfectly embodying the beauty and gentleness of a young girl.

In addition, the post-production editing is perfect, with the timing of transitions and background music being just right.

This caused Qin Yuennan to become somewhat engrossed in watching.

The suspenseful ending, particularly the "love suicide at sea" scene, left a sense of unease and shock, giving her goosebumps.

After a while, her emotions gradually subsided.

Qin Yuennan promptly gave the video a thumbs up.

[Qin Yuennan: This is really good, no wonder it has over three million likes.]
[Zhao Jianing: Absolutely! This video has recently gone viral on Douyin! It's been trending for days! Now everyone's making their own versions to capitalize on its popularity! Seriously, didn't you notice anything?]
[Qin Yuennan: What did you find?]
[Zhao Jianing: Go check who the collaborator is for this video.]
Collaborative release?

After Qin Yuennan clicked back on the video, she discovered that it was a collaborative video shot by two people.

The lead actress is Shuiyanwei, and the post-production team is... Shennan Pet Company?!

Qin Yuennan immediately sat up straight, looking utterly astonished.

Is this an account that Lin Shen created specifically for the cat cafe?

She even knows how to do post-production video optimization?

And it was edited so well?
Upon suddenly learning that her boyfriend actually had some hidden talents and abilities, Qin Yuennan felt incredibly happy and secretly delighted.

However, Zhao Jianing sent a message that was ambiguous.

[Zhao Jianing: Did you notice? Your boyfriend is such a genius! He can actually make such a high-quality video with a girl, and the last shot looks like it's at the beach! Could it be that Lin Shen is secretly dating other girls behind your back?]
[Qin Yuennan: He's probably just in charge of post-production for the video. He might be trying to drive traffic to his account and promote his soon-to-open cat cafe, which is why he's collaborating with Douyin influencers. This kind of marketing is very common.]
[Zhao Jianing: Really? Anyway, I feel like something's off. Shouldn't they be using a blogger with more followers to promote the cat café? Shuiyanwei only had 700,000 to 800,000 followers before this video went viral, and now she has almost 1.5 million.]
[Zhao Jianing: Of course I noticed. Many pet bloggers I follow are promoting your Shennan Pet Club. Maybe I'm overthinking it. Is this a promotional tactic you came up with for them?]
[Qin Yuennan: No, it was Lin Shen's own idea. I didn't interfere because I thought his publicity efforts were fine, and I trusted him.]
Although Qin Yuening replied to Zhao Jianing in this way, she was still slightly tempted.

So Qin Yuennan clicked on Shuiyanwei's account homepage and found that her main job was a college counselor, and her previous videos were all Chinese-style cosplay videos filmed at various scenic spots.

Moreover, her appearance is more like that of a classical woman living in the water towns of Jiangnan.

Gentle and virtuous, elegant and serene.

Especially the enormous treasure on her chest, which surprised even Qin Yuennan, a woman.

It can be this big!?

Qin Yuennan looked down. She had always felt that her size was quite good, and Lin Shen also liked it very much, often cherishing it.

But now it seems that there are always people more capable than you!

Qin Yuennan sighed silently. After watching a few videos of hookah, she suddenly felt that this woman looked very familiar.

It seems like I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't quite place it right now...

Until Qin Yuennan came across a video of Shuiyanwei from a month ago.

She sat by the lake, dressed in a traditional Chinese dress, exuding an ethereal beauty.

"Wait! This person..."

In an instant, Qin Yuennan's beautiful eyes widened, and a memory flashed through her mind of the senior student she met when she and Lin Shen first went hiking in Sheshan.

She was dressed exactly the same way as this hookah back then!
Her name seems to be... Jiang Wan!?
