Chapter 209 Purchasing and Buying a Car (6k-page summary)

"Mr. Lin, he didn't tell you anything strange, did he?"

Lin Ping felt a little nervous, afraid that Shen Mingchuan would fabricate some bad things and affect her relationship with Lin Shen.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shen raised an eyebrow and a half-smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"No no!"

Lin Ping quickly waved her hand and explained to prove her innocence.

“Shen Mingchuan has been sending me messages on WeChat a lot lately, asking me out. I’m too lazy to reply to him. I plan to give him a surprise tomorrow and then we won’t contact each other again.”

“He always felt that in order to give An’an a better life, the only way for me to go was to remarry him.”

"But actually, Mr. Lin, you not only gave me a comfortable life, but also gave me hope for the future."

Lin Ping hugged Lin Shen's neck tightly and thanked him softly.

"Thank you. I will help you manage each store from now on. I wonder if this will be helpful to your business?"

"Of course it counts."

Lin Shen embraced Lin Ping's voluptuous body and smiled gently.

"Your experience in managing cat cafes is very useful to me."

"Is it."

Lin Ping was secretly delighted, feeling that she had found the meaning of life.

That is to become Lin Shen's help in his career, in order to repay his kindness to him.

So what are you planning to do tomorrow?

Lin Shen buried his face in Lin Ping's chest, gently inhaling her fragrance as he teased her.

"Your ex-husband wants to have a candlelight dinner with you."

"I do not want to go."

Lin Ping held Lin Shen's head, her delicate body twisting shyly, before murmuring in embarrassment.

"I've already booked a room at the hotel for tomorrow, Mr. Lin. Would you be willing to accompany me then?"

"That's no problem."

Lin Shen smiled and groped Lin Ping in his arms. Anyway, in this private office, no one would suddenly barge in.

"But what if Shen Mingchuan comes to wait for you after get off work?"

"Um……"

Lin Ping thought for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration struck her.

"I'll reluctantly agree to his request, then find an excuse to leave and make him wait in vain."

"You really do hate your ex-husband a lot..."

Lin Shen's teasing intensified Lin Ping's resentment towards Shen Mingchuan, but it was gradually blurred by her tears.

Because a wicked right hand unceremoniously reached inside her collar.

Lin Shen's left hand caressed her pert, round buttocks.

Today she wore a pair of light blue jeans; the tight fabric accentuated her full, lustrous curves, making her irresistible.

Soon, Lin Ping was breathing heavily, curled up in Lin Shen's arms, squirming restlessly, and making soft, seductive sounds of longing.

"Mr. Lin, would you be willing to spend time with me tonight?"

"Let's skip tonight, I have something to do. How about tomorrow night?"

Lin Shen also knew how to arouse the desires in the young woman Ping's heart. After teasing her for a while, he stopped.

This made her feel extremely uncomfortable all over, her heart was itchy, and she even felt a strange heat surging in her lower abdomen.

"Okay~"

Lin Ping's tone was slightly resentful, but her slightly narrowed, alluring eyes concealed intense emotions.

She has already figured out how to get revenge on Shen Mingchuan tomorrow!

"I'm leaving now, you can continue working."

After being intimate with Lin Ping for a while, Lin Shen put her down and got up to leave.

"Don't work too hard. Message me if you need anything."

"Ah."

After leaving the Shennan Pet Store flagship store, Lin Shen went directly to the largest Apple store in Wujiaochang.

Upon entering, he went directly to the salesperson to inquire.

How many MacBook Pros do you have in your store?

?

The shop assistant was a little confused by the question, and after thinking for a moment, gave a somewhat uncertain number.

"About fifty pieces."

"Okay, I'll take them all."

Ah? ?

The shop assistant was completely stunned, his face filled with astonishment and surprise.

Want them all?
Does that mean you want to buy fifty MacBook Pros?

The shop assistant was a seasoned veteran with excellent professional skills. He quickly realized what was going on and asked with a smile.

"Sir, you are planning to make the purchase in the company's name, is that right?"

"That's it."

"This way please, I'll have our account manager introduce the procurement plan to you."

The shop assistant quickly invited Lin Shen to the general manager's office inside the store and warmly served him tea and water.

A moment later, a middle-aged man wearing a shirt and trousers walked in with a friendly smile.

"Hello sir! I'm Xiao Chen, the customer manager at the Wujiaochang branch of the iPhone flagship store. May I ask your surname?"

"Shuangmu Forest".

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

After shaking hands with Lin Shen, Xiao Chen still wore his polite smile.

"Are you planning to purchase the 512GB version or the 1TB version? We will provide a corresponding quotation based on your needs."

"1T".

Since it was reimbursable, Lin Shen naturally chose the most expensive version, maxing out the configuration.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen beamed with joy, thinking that he was about to close another big deal.

After discussing with Lin Shen, he came up with a personalized procurement plan.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro 1T version, originally priced at 17,000 yuan, was purchased for 14,000 yuan.

With the addition of local subsidies in Shanghai and VAT deductions, each book comes to about 12,000 yuan.

Fifty units, totaling six hundred thousand.

Incidentally, Lin Shen also signed a corporate procurement agreement with Xiao Chen, under which he would receive a 5% rebate if the company continued to make purchases in its name.

This doesn't count as me taking advantage of others!

Lin Shen silently pondered to himself, and without hesitation paid for fifty MacBook Pros. His decisive action impressed Xiao Chen greatly.

That's generous!
He took over the family business at a young age and even took control of the company's finances.

This shows that his parents have great confidence in his abilities!
Such outstanding second-generation rich kids are indeed quite rare.

"Mr. Lin, please provide a delivery address. Our staff will deliver the goods to your door after they are prepared."

"14th floor of Huamao Building, recipient is Qin Yuennan, last four digits of mobile phone number..."

Lin Shen left Qin Yuennan's information with Xiao Chen, and after discussing future cooperation matters again, he got up and left.

6:30 p.m.

As agreed, Lin Shen went to Chongyou's house to pick up Qin Yuennan after get off work.

He sat on the reception sofa in the lobby on the first floor, while Zhou Qiang chatted with him with a smile.

This scene surprised many employees leaving get off work in the China World Trade Center.

This young man must be someone special to have Manager Zhou from the property management department bowing and scraping to him!

"coming."

After waiting for a few minutes, Lin Shen spotted Qin Yuenan, who stood out in the crowd.

Her work attire remains simple: a light-colored shirt paired with a black midi skirt, and white high heels that accentuate her long, shapely legs, making her appear exceptionally tall.

But it was precisely this simple attire that made Qin Yuennan stand out from the crowd, thanks to her cool and aloof beauty that rivaled that of a female celebrity.

It's as if it's not on the same layer as everyone else.

This made Lin Shen sigh inwardly.

Sister Nan has such great style!

it's beautiful!
"Sister Nan!"

?

Upon spotting Lin Shen waving from a distance, Qin Yuenan tucked her hair behind her ear and walked straight over.

"Why are you waiting for me here?"

"Are you really planning to make me wait in the underground parking lot all along?"

Lin Shen's teasing made Qin Yuennan feel guilty.

Previously, in order to avoid being gossiped about behind her back and affecting her work, she had kept her relationship with Lin Shen a secret.

But now, she doesn't need to do that anymore.

The freedom of leaving her job soon will allow Qin Yuennan to live more freely, without having to care about the opinions of her colleagues and others.

So she reached out and took Lin Shen's arm, leaving Zhou Qiang, who was chatting with her, dumbfounded, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

WTF! ?
Lin Shen and the others were actually Qin Yuenan?!

Marketing Director at Chongyoujia?

That stunningly beautiful and aloof fashion icon!?

You should know that Qin Yuennan is the goddess in the hearts of many men in the Huamao Building, and the thing they look forward to most every day on their way to and from get off work is seeing her.

If you happen to bump into someone in the elevator, your mood will improve throughout the day, and you'll have more energy for work.

This is one of the benefits of frequently looking at beautiful women.

Zhou Qiang was no exception; for a period of time, he even waited at the door every day.

So you're telling me that Goddess Qin is already taken?
Even her boyfriend was Lin Shen, the guy who used to brag and joke with her before he became famous?

Zhou Qiang found it hard to believe.

However, the facts are clear: just by looking at the intimacy between Lin Shen and Qin Yuennan, their relationship is obvious.

"introduce."

Lin Shen introduced the two parties with a smile.

"This is a friend I met when I was working there before, Zhou Qiang. He is the property manager of Huamao Building."

"This is the youngest marketing director at Chongyoujia, a business tycoon who earns millions a year at the age of 28, Director Qin Yuenan... Hey hey hey!"

Upon hearing Lin Shen add a particularly embarrassing prefix to his name, Qin Yuenan gave his ear a "fierce" twist, but not hard, and then politely nodded to Zhou Qiang.

He quickly responded, unable to contain his shock and curiosity, and cautiously asked.

"Brother Shen, you two wouldn't happen to be..."

"What do you think?" Lin Shen reached out and put his arm around Qin Yuennan's slender and soft waist, as if declaring his ownership, his expression extremely smug and arrogant.

After all, who wouldn't be proud to have such a beautiful girlfriend!

Qin Yuennan blushed slightly, but she didn't break free from Lin Shen's embrace, letting him hold her waist like that.

Such intimate actions caused Zhou Qiang's expression to gradually shift from shock to envy and jealousy.

How did Lin Shen manage to get Qin Yuenan?

How on earth did he do it?
Could it have been bought with money?
But Qin Yuennan doesn't seem like the type of person who would be short of money!

Zhou Qiang couldn't understand it and even wanted to ask Lin Shen for advice.

But one thing he was certain of was that without a modeler of Lin Shen's caliber, success would be very difficult.

"We'll be going now, let's talk another day."

"Okay, Brother Shen, President Qin, please take care!"

Lin Shen put his arm around Qin Yuennan and walked into the crowded elevator, where they were immediately stared at by a large group of people.

There were doubts and curiosity, but more than anything, there was shock and astonishment.

No one expected that Qin Yuennan, who used to commute to and from get off work alone, would now have a male companion picking her up!

And he's a handsome guy who's over 1.8 meters tall!
Clearly, their relationship was now public knowledge, leaving many men in the elevator heartbroken, their eyes glazed and filled with despair.

Meanwhile, the women were engrossed in their phones, frantically sharing the latest breaking news in their own small groups.

[Hey! Do you guys know the marketing director at Chongyoujia? I think her name is Qin Yuenan.]
[Who doesn't know her? I remember she was incredibly beautiful, with a great figure. I often ran into her at the gym, but she was a bit aloof and seemed unapproachable.]
[I have something to tell you, she found a boyfriend!]
[Huh? Really? Wasn't it rumored that she was frigid? How come she has a boyfriend now?]
[Are people actually believing the rumors? She's probably too picky and can't find anyone suitable. But the guy I met today is over 1.8 meters tall and looks just like a male lead in a Korean drama! So handsome! He and Qin Yuenan are a perfect match!]
[Could he be the chairman of the new company on the 14th floor of Shennan?]
[Huh? You know something! Tell me!]
[I've been seeing Qin Yuennan taking the elevator upstairs quite often lately, but I don't know which floor she goes to. However, the "Shennan" on the 14th floor has her name's last character in it! Maybe it's a company her rich second-generation heir set up specifically for her! And I heard from an insider at Chongyoujia that Qin Yuennan has already resigned!]
[Holy crap! This news is explosive! Someone actually agreed to start a company for their girlfriend? This is more romantic than anything in an idol drama! Flowers, cars, and houses are so lame compared to this!]
While passersby were gossiping and chatting in the group, Lin Shen and Qin Yuennan were obviously unaware that their identities had been almost completely exposed.

They followed the crowd out of the elevator on the -1 floor and then headed to the parking spaces where a black Volvo S90 and a Jaguar XFL were parked.

"Sister Nan, if we go together, will it affect your reputation?"

Lin Shen had a strange premonition that, starting today, his relationship with Qin Yuennan would become the talk of the entire Huamao Building!

But Qin Yuennan clearly didn't care about any of that. After getting into the driver's seat of the Volvo S90, she casually mentioned it.

"It doesn't matter, or do you feel you're not presentable enough?"

"This is not."

Lin Shen naturally sat in the passenger seat.

I was worried it would have a negative impact on you.

"I'm no longer the marketing director of Chongyoujia, but the president of Shennan."

Qin Yuennan slightly raised her aloof and stunningly beautiful face, her expression one of utter arrogance and pride.

"What they say is none of my business, and I don't care about it."

"That's good."

Since Qin Yuennan didn't seem to mind, Lin Shen was even less bothered and planned to come more often in the future.

He then got out of the car, got into the driver's seat of his Jaguar XFL, and drove out of the underground parking lot with Qin Yuennan to the place he had arranged to meet Zhao Jianing.

Baolixuan.

This two-Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant is located in the century-old Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce building.

Its facade retains the original red brick arches and carved columns, while the traces of time between the bricks reveal a modern style.
Understated yet luxurious.

After parking their cars, Lin Shen and Qin Yuennan entered the restaurant through the embossed bronze gate and walked lightly along the long corridor covered with handmade carpets.

The walls on both sides are decorated with various antique silverwares and contemporary art installations. Under the guidance of the waiters, you gradually transition from the bustling street to a quiet dining environment.

Among them are six private booths designed with Bulgari jewelry as inspiration, where Zhao Jianing and two foreign friends had been waiting for quite some time.

"Nan Nan!"

Upon seeing Qin Yuennan and Lin Shen arrive together, Zhao Jianing excitedly stood up and introduced herself to both of them.

"This is Mr. Lorenzo Rossi, the general agent for Ferrari in East China; and this is Mr. Matteo Lombardi, the head of the Ferrari Racing Club China branch. They happen to be in Shanghai on a business trip today, so I thought I'd invite them along as well."

"These two are my friends, Qin Yuennan and her boyfriend, Lin Shen. He is also a customer who wants to buy a Ferrari SF90 today."

"Hello there!"

Upon hearing that Lin Shen intended to buy a car, Lorenzo became extremely excited and greeted him in broken Chinese.

"Mr. Lin Shen! Thank you so much for your appreciation of Ferrari!"

"Thank you."

After shaking hands with Lorenzo and Matteo, Lin Shen spoke with them in fluent English.

“I am very happy to meet you both. Ferrari has always had a good reputation in China, so I was thinking of buying one.”

"You speak English?"

Lin Shen's fluent English surprised Matteo and Lorenzo, and even Qin Yuennan, who was standing next to him, was slightly astonished.

Was his English really that good?
"know a little."

Lin Shen said modestly that after he and Qin Yuennan sat down, the subsequent chat was quite relaxed.

As a wealthy and beautiful woman who studied abroad for a long time, Zhao Jianing is naturally fluent in English; Qin Yuenan goes without saying, she has been a top student since childhood, so English is naturally no problem for her either.

Therefore, there was no language barrier in their conversation.

"Take a look and see what you like to eat."

Zhao Jianing handed the menu to Qin Yuennan, who took it and glanced at Lin Shen. Seeing him shake his head, she returned it to him.

"You can order whatever you like, Lin Shen and I aren't hungry."

"OK then."

As a regular customer of Baolixuan, Zhao Jianing knew which of their dishes were the best.

For example, there's roast goose, braised goose feet with sea cucumber in abalone sauce, and golden lobster claws with cheese.

The latter, served with Italian buffalo mozzarella sauce, should bring Lorenzo and Matteo a taste of home.

Other items include some side dishes and desserts.

"that's it."

After handing the menu back to the waiter, the group chatted amongst themselves while waiting for their food.

The main body is divided into two groups.

Lin Shen chatted with Lorenzo and Matteo about cars, and learned about Ferrari, an Italian car brand with an eighty-year history, from them.

The rich automotive culture is indeed very likely to arouse the curiosity of boys.

Lin Shen's gentle and unassuming manner impressed Lorenzo and Matteo, who sensed a maturity and composure in him that was rare among young people.

At least you can tell from his voice that he has a lot of life experience and rich social experience in interacting with people.

As a result, the atmosphere of conversation among the three of them became increasingly lively, and they even complimented each other after the dishes were served.

On the other side, the conversation between Zhao Jianing and Qin Yuennan, best friends, was quite explosive.

"How's your relationship with Lin Shen going lately?"

Zhao Jianing looked at Qin Yuennan with a smile.

"You look great, all rosy and healthy. You must be seeing Lin Shen a lot lately, right?"

"I went to Dai City for it a few days ago."

Qin Yuennan had already passed the sensitive period of feeling shy when discussing such matters, and her expression was calm as if she were talking about something very ordinary.

"I've been busy with work lately and haven't seen Lin Shen much. Besides, there's no need to do that kind of thing every day."

"Oh, really? Then why do I hear a hint of resentment in your tone..."

Zhao Jianing chuckled.

"Did you wear the battle suit I recommended last time? How was it?"

"You wore it, and how was the effect...?"

Qin Yuennan stole a glance at Lin Shen, who was chatting happily with Lorenzo and Matteo, and then muttered to herself.

"That's it."

"What do you mean 'like that'? I don't believe Lin Shen would dislike you wearing your battle robes!"

Zhao Jianing pursed her lips, then grinned mischievously.

"How about I recommend a few more sets to you? These are my treasured possessions, I don't usually tell just anyone."

"..."

Qin Yuennan silently ate a few bites of food, and after a moment of contemplation, she asked in a low voice.

What style?

"Here."

Zhao Jianing immediately opened Xiaohongshu and Douyin and showed Qin Yuennan some of the "mysterious" shops she had collected.

She glanced at it casually, and her beautiful eyes widened suddenly. Her usually indifferent expression turned to embarrassment and annoyance, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

"What kind of clothes are these! They look so indecent!"

"Nonsense! Can proper clothes be called battle robes?"

Zhao Jianing rolled her eyes at Qin Yuenan before teasing her.

"These are all types of cosplay outfits. Look at this bunny girl and Spider-Woman, aren't they pretty? And this policewoman and flight attendant..."

"Super ugly!"

Qin Yuennan looked disgusted. After imagining herself wearing these strange clothes, her cheeks burned like fire.

Just then, Lin Shen leaned over and asked curiously.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't worry!"

Qin Yuennan was startled. She covered Zhao Jianing's phone screen with her left hand and pushed Lin Shen's face to the side with her right hand, looking extremely embarrassed and annoyed.

"Go talk about your car!"

"The chat is over."

Lin Shen shook his phone and chuckled.

"I've already paid in full."

what?
Qin Yuennan was stunned for a moment. After taking a closer look, she found that Lin Shen's phone screen displayed a text message indicating a withdrawal of 680 million yuan from China Construction Bank.

This left her somewhat bewildered.

"Have you bought the car?"

"Correct."

Lin Shen's tone was slightly excited.

"What a coincidence! Matteo brought over a Ferrari SF90 Spider convertible from overseas, with all the top-of-the-line options. It was originally intended to be a show car, but I snatched it up."

They snatched it away?
This was something Qin Yuennan hadn't expected.

After all, the cars displayed at auto shows are usually not for sale, but you two talked for less than half an hour and then bought it?
"I'm pretty good at speaking, I guess."

Lin Shen smiled and told the truth only after seeing Qin Yuennan's disbelieving look.

“I have collaborated with Ferrari overseas. After they saw that I still had a racing license, they directly recruited me into their racing club and then gave me their car.”

"..."

Lin Shen's casual remark left Qin Yuennan completely astonished.

Collaboration with Ferrari overseas?

Racing license?

When did Lin Shen acquire this identity?
