Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

"Shennan employees, come here to collect your wristbands!"

To accommodate the team-building event for over fifty people at Shennan Company, the manager of Qushui Lanting's Shanghai branch had to personally take on the role of lobby manager.

Of course, he had no reluctance whatsoever, only the excitement of wanting to see Lin Shen and get to know this older brother.

At first, he didn't expect that a company would ask them to do team building!

You should know that they are among the most upscale bathhouses in Shanghai, where a few services can cost several thousand yuan.

If the company were to hold a team-building event at a bathhouse, they would never choose those bathhouses; they would go to more mainstream ones instead.

Even for more mainstream groups, this kind of team-building activity is quite novel.

Therefore, the manager of Qushui Lanting's Shanghai store was a little skeptical of Lin Shen's return, thinking he was playing a trick on him.

After receiving 60,000 yuan in advance for the event, the other party was stunned.

WTF! ?
This is too generous!
They don't even bother asking for a deposit, they just want the full amount transferred directly?

This completely baffled the shop owner, who only realized what was happening after a moment and was extremely excited.

Looks like another good boss!

So the store manager personally arranged the matter and wanted to meet this legendary big brother.

He had assumed Lin Shen was around forty or fifty years old, since men like that who were bosses usually frequented bathhouses.

But who would have thought that Lin Shen looked to be only in his early twenties, even younger than his son!
However, this did not diminish the shop owner's respect for Lin Shen in the slightest. After handing over the task of distributing the tokens to his subordinates, he immediately ran up to Lin Shen and shook hands with him warmly.

"Mr. Lin! Welcome, welcome! My name is Mo Dong, and I am the manager of this Qushui Lanting restaurant. Thank you very much for your support of Qushui Lanting. It is my honor to serve you."

"Hello."

Lin Shen smiled and shook hands with Mo Dong, exchanging pleasantries before leaving with Qin Yuennan.

Other guests who were still loitering in the lobby thought they had entered the wrong store when they saw the scene before them.

After all, a bathhouse that hosts large-scale team building activities like this shouldn't be located in Qushui Lanting.

And sure enough, a company came!
This boss's treatment of his subordinates can't be described as "good"; it's downright extravagant!

He treats his subordinates like his own brothers!

No, even my own brother wouldn't come to a proper bathhouse like this!

People cast envious glances at Shennan's employees, and some even quietly approached them to ask which company they worked for.

They would also proudly introduce themselves as employees of Shennan.

Although its reputation is limited to the pet industry, such generous benefits are enough to make employees feel proud.

This has led to some people not even asking about the salary, but instead planning to ask these employees for introductions to switch jobs to Shennan.

After all, if they treat their employees so well, how low can their wages be?

Moreover, after years of navigating the social world, everyone understands one thing very well: good jobs are never available on the market or in the job market.

Because employees will never resign from good positions, there will be no vacancies at all.

The vacant positions will more or less have some problems.

Therefore, the best way to find a job is not through social recruitment or campus recruitment, but through internal referrals from company employees.

Unfortunately, Shennan does not have this strategy yet.

Due to limited production capacity in the early stages, the company is in the development stage and its scale is relatively small.

Therefore, a large number of employees are not needed to maintain the workload.

Therefore, Shennan employees politely declined those who asked them to make introductions, leaving many feeling dejected.

But there was no way around it; Lin Shen had his own reasons for hiring people.

A balanced mix of old and new is the best logic for company operations.

"call--!"

Lin Shen and Qin Yuennan entered the men's and women's changing rooms separately. After changing, they went about their respective tasks, enjoying this hard-won moment of relaxation.

It has to be admitted that if you are under a lot of pressure or feel physically exhausted, taking a bath is definitely one of the most relaxing things to do.

Whether it's a massage or a spa, it can help people calm down temporarily.

"I'm going to be very busy from now on!"

While taking a bath, Lin Shen murmured to himself. After doing a few things to relax his body, he came out of his private VIP room.

After all, he has all sorts of tools provided by the [Sports and Health] system, so he can regain his energy without needing to relax.

His body has been enhanced by the system, making him much more resilient than an ordinary person.

But Qin Yuennan seemed to have become somewhat addicted.

Ever since Lin Shen first brought her to Qu Shui Lan Ting, it was as if she had opened the door to a new world.

She had a prejudice against bathhouses before, and also had a certain degree of obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, so she probably didn't like this place.

But after her good experience last time, Qin Yuennan realized that as long as the money is right, the service will be satisfactory.

Mysophobia?

Then I'll give you a VIP room, and you can also buy various services with your money to fully relax your mind and body and relieve your tension.

This was a lifesaver for Qin Yuennan.

She's been incredibly busy lately, completely oblivious to the passage of time.

The things Shen Nan had to deal with in the initial stage far exceeded what she could handle.

Therefore, Qin Yuennan felt that her workload had increased at least three times compared to before during this period.

You know, she was a workaholic when she was at Chongyou's house!

The fact that she could handle an even greater workload than that period shows just how busy Shen Nan was.

Fortunately, Lin Shen's logistical support was crucial, and his unconditional trust allowed her to execute various plans without any reservations.

Now that the team-building activities have taken a break, Qin Yuennan can finally relax comfortably.

So, in her VIP box, she did everything that was available.

[Qin Yuennan: You can have fun by yourself now that you're out here. I want to enjoy someone else's massage, not like you did last night, groping me randomly!]
[Qin Yuennan: Kitten Boxing.jpg]
Upon seeing the WeChat message from Qin Yuennan, Lin Shen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Since she started dating, even her messages have become much cuter.

Previously, it was mostly single words with a tone like "um" or "okay," and at most, some imperative sentences.

Of course, this is inseparable from the fact that she is his/her boss, and it is also related to her personality.

But since starting a relationship, Qin Yuennan has learned to act cute on her phone and even send some adorable animal emojis.

It's like a seemingly aloof academic genius who is actually a cute girl who loves animals.

The cuteness that comes from this contrast is something most people would find hard to appreciate.

Lin Shen is very lucky to have such a cool and aloof older sister who is outstanding in both ability and appearance as his girlfriend.

What a blessing!
Lin Shen replied to Qin Yuennan with a smile on his lips.

[Lin Shen: Okay, I'll find a place to lie down now. Remember to let me know when you're done with the project.]
[Qin Yuennan: Mm.]
After getting his girlfriend's permission, Lin Shen was planning to find a place to lie down, but by sheer coincidence, he ran into Xu Lei, who had just come out of the public bathhouse.

She changed into a loose-fitting pink yukata, but her figure underneath was still incredibly graceful and shapely.

Her delicate neck, with the subtle outline of her collarbone, is especially sexy.

Add to that her still-damp hair and the way she wore glasses, and it was completely different from the sexiness she exuded when she wore her secretary uniform. Instead, she had a pure and innocent feel, like a lotus emerging from clear water, with an allure that was simply irresistible.

"President Lin!?" Upon bumping into Lin Shen, Xu Lei's eyes lit up, and she ran up to him in her slippers.

Because she took off her high heels and lost five centimeters in height, her 167cm height still appeared rather petite next to Lin Shen's 183cm height.

Therefore, Lin Shen could see the beautiful sight hidden under the yukata by simply lowering his head slightly and following the neckline.

This made him pause in surprise.

That's pretty good stuff!

Because Xu Lei always wears shirts, her figure looks good, but it's impossible to tell her exact weight; we can only make a rough estimate.

Now that he has seen her most authentic self, Lin Shen estimates that she should be one size smaller than Qin Yuennan.

That's pretty good.

"Where is President Qin?"

Xu Lei subconsciously looked around to see if Qin Yuenan was beside Lin Shen, and he smiled.

"She's still working on a project. What about you? Why aren't you doing it?"

"I don't need it."

Upon seeing that Qin Yuennan was not by Lin Shen's side, Xu Lei nervously smoothed her hair, her voice became husky, and her gaze lowered slightly with a hint of shyness.

Because Lin Shen's bathrobe on the bed looked similar to when the two of them met at his house.

These are all relatively private outfits.

This made Xu Lei's heart race and she felt at a loss.

Seeing this, Lin Shen smiled slightly.

"Don't try to save me money. After all, you've helped me a lot lately. This time, you can relax properly."

"Actually, I didn't mean to save you money, Mr. Lin. It's just that I feel a little awkward when strangers touch my body."

"Then it seems you haven't come enough."

Lin Shen stared with great interest at Xu Lei's uniquely charming sculpted face, and then made a suggestion.

"How about you come with me to the third-floor lounge area to watch a movie?"

See a movie!?

When this matter is mentioned, Xu Lei can conjure up many details in her mind.

For example, in a dimly lit environment, the gradually approaching body temperature and breath, the accidental touch of fingers, and then immediately pulling away.

Finally, staring at that handsome profile, I was so captivated that I didn't even notice him kissing me...

Ahhh——!
Thinking of all this, Xu Lei instinctively pressed her legs together, and her cheeks instantly burned.

Why am I acting like a shy little girl who's never been in a relationship before?

This is a great opportunity!

Xu Lei took a deep breath, realizing she was being too love-struck, so she quickly adjusted her mindset, smiled, and nodded in agreement.

Even though she was trying very hard to control herself, she still couldn't help but laugh while speaking.

"Really? Haha, let's go to the third floor then. President Qin won't object, will she?"

"In that case, forget it."

Lin Shen's words made Xu Lei's heart skip a beat, and she immediately grabbed his bathrobe sleeve and said urgently.

"Um... I didn't mean that. We're just going to take a break. President Qin shouldn't be angry."

"Let's go then."

Lin Shen led the way, with Xu Lei following behind, occasionally glancing at her boss's strong and upright figure.

A perfect inverted triangle shape; the muscles in the waist and back are very visible even under a loose yukata.

He clearly has a good habit of working out and is the kind of muscular guy that girls like the most these days.

Really like!
Xu Lei felt that her feelings for Lin Shen were becoming increasingly strange.

At first, she might have just been captivated by his handsome appearance, but as they spent more time together, his physique seemed to take precedence and became Xu Lei's favorite aspect.

Just looking at his back, I imagined the feeling of being held in his arms...

Xu Lei's pretty face flushed slightly, and she felt unsteady on her feet, as if she were walking on clouds, her legs weak.

Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, the dizzy feeling gave her a dreamlike, unreal sensation, and she was still somewhat disoriented when she arrived at her destination.

Third floor rest area.

To provide customers with a better bathing experience, the place not only offers a variety of entertainment facilities, but also a series of dating gadgets such as claw machines.

It has everything you could need, including a public cinema, video game consoles, and pool tables.

Moreover, as a VIP client of Qushui Lanting, Lin Shen enjoys more private services here.

"Let's go inside and watch a movie."

Lin Shen smiled and asked Xu Lei for advice, but all she could think about was Lin Shen's broad and masculine back from earlier.

"Xiao Xu?"

Lin Shen waved his hand in front of Xu Lei, which brought her back to her senses. She stared blankly for a moment.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"I mean, let's go inside and watch a movie."

Lin Shen pointed to the movie theater seats outside, which were almost completely occupied.

"The place is packed outside, and if other employees see us watching a movie together, it might cause some bad rumors."

"Then let's go inside!"

Xu Lei agreed without hesitation.

She didn't consider that being alone with Lin Shen would be bad; on the contrary, she was quite looking forward to being alone with him.

If something happens, that would be the best outcome!

Led by the waiter, Lin Shen and Xu Lei arrived at the VIP movie box one after the other.

It's pretty much the same as outside, except the white screen for projection is bigger and the beanbag chairs are more spacious.

After the waiter left, Lin Shen casually sat down on the beanbag chair and picked up the remote to search for a movie on the projector screen.

Xu Lei then realized that something was wrong and hesitated.

Because there are no partitions in the middle of the two-seater beanbag chair, it looks just like a bed.

Moreover, the VIP room was very dimly lit, with only warm yellow ambient lighting.

The alluring scent, enhanced by the aromatherapy, made Xu Lei feel hot all over.

In such an ambiguous environment, it would be a shame if nothing happened!

This made Xu Lei worry.

If President Qin finds out, my position as secretary will be in jeopardy!
After all, she had promised her that she wouldn't have any relationship with Lin Shen.

But now, it seems impossible for nothing to happen.

Xu Lei pursed her lips, feeling conflicted, but ultimately leaned more towards what she truly wanted.

Anyway, Shennan is managed by General Manager Lin. As long as we get on his good side and General Manager Qin doesn't find out, there won't be any problems! (End of Chapter)
