Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Shennan Pet Shop (YP) branch.

The store manager stood in front of Lin Shen with a forced smile, like a student being scolded.

This startled the shop assistants working nearby, who began speculating about Lin Shen's identity.

What's this guy's background?
Why was the store manager so respectful to him?
Could it be a senior executive at Shennan?

Everyone's thoughts were surprisingly in agreement, but the shop assistant who had just served Lin Shen was already trembling with fear.

Not buddy!

You're really that amazing!

The shop assistant initially thought Lin Shen was just bluffing by asking him to call the store manager over, but little did he know that he really just wanted him to call the store manager over for a reprimand!

Ugh!
Why is my mouth so irritating?!

The shop assistant was very regretful, extremely regretful.

After all, he had beaten many competitors to get this job.

It's worth noting that the positions of shop assistants at Shennan Pet Cafe are even more competitive than those of shop owners at other cat cafes.

First of all, it has good benefits, with a base salary plus commission, which is about 20% higher than that of a typical cat cafe.

And most importantly, they even signed labor contracts!
This is equivalent to being a full-time employee of Shennan!

The kind that pays for five social insurances and one housing fund!

This feeling of being respected is something I've never experienced in other cat cafes.

Therefore, as an intern at the newly opened store, the staff cherished their hard-won job.

As for why they didn't tidy up the table in time, it's because they really didn't expect Shennan Pet Society to be so popular, which caused them to run out of energy and they thought they would take a break by shooting some short videos.

A typical cat cafe would be considered quite good if it could get half the customer traffic of Shennan.

But this is the limit for the store, not the limit for Shennan.

Even though they've already opened ten branches, every single one is still packed with people.

Good reputations are built up by word of mouth among customers.

This is especially true for cat and dog cafes.

After all, people prefer to play with familiar pets and are unwilling to bother with strangers.

Cat cafes mostly rely on repeat customers; only a small portion attract new customers.

What's more, this branch is located in the YP district, which has many universities.

Therefore, more students come to pet the cats on weekends, and most of them are couples.

Therefore, Lin Shen originally planned an opening event for this store targeting college students.

But after only a few days, he became lazy.

This is not okay.

I'm giving you generous benefits, not doing charity work.

If you don't do it, plenty of others will.

However, Lin Shen was kind-hearted and willing to give the shop assistants a chance.

If it happens a second time, he won't show any mercy.

"Go."

"okay!"

The store manager hurriedly bowed and scraped to Lin Shen, then left in small steps, letting out a long sigh of relief and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

The shop assistant had initially come over to inquire about the situation, but upon seeing his gloomy expression, she immediately fell silent, feeling uneasy.

Looks like I'm in for a treat after get off work...

The store manager stayed there afterward, keeping a close eye on the employees' work.

Of course, he also personally served tea and meals to customers and prepared drinks.

After all, the boss is sitting right in the store, so who would dare to slack off!
However, Lin Shen's attention was no longer on the store clerk's performance, but rather on the "happy" life of petting cats with Jiang Wan.

My dates with my senior always have a sense of tranquility, like that of married life.

Jiang Wan always shared interesting anecdotes from her work with Lin Shen with a smile, unlike Qin Yuennan who would discuss work-related matters with him.

Of course, their different personalities also led to different dating styles.

If he had to choose, Lin Shen would actually prefer to go on a date with Jiang Wan.

After all, she's such a kind and caring older sister.

He'll feed you cake when you eat it, and let you drink his milk tea when you drink milk tea, in order to indirectly kiss you.

And most importantly, Jiang Wan knows how to pick up on Lin Shen's jokes.

After all, as a popular blogger on Douyin, she was a skilled internet surfer and very knowledgeable about recent hot topics, which she discussed with Lin Shen for a while.

In this respect, she is better than Qin Yuennan.

Of course, this doesn't mean Qin Yuennan is a rigid person; it's just that due to the nature of her work, she may not be very involved in trending topics online.

Jiang Wan, however, was different.

She not only answers, but also initiates conversations.

This made Lin Shen feel very comfortable around her.

Of course, the most crucial factor is appearance.

Jiang Wan's looks don't have the same aloof and stunning beauty as Qin Yuennan, but she's definitely the type that grows on you the more you look at her.

Especially her figure is also very good, with a full and robust build that shows its radiance and fullness in any posture.

In addition, Jiang Wan herself was well aware of her good figure, so she would deliberately rub against Lin Shen's elbow every time, making him feel itchy inside.

That senior is so mischievous!
Lin Shen quickly coughed lightly and tried to distract himself by changing the subject, afraid that he might embarrass himself if he wasn't careful.

"Senior, are you planning to go home for the National Day holiday?"

"Let's go back."

Jiang Wan smiled as she played with the cat in her arms.

"After all, the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays coincide, so it wouldn't be right not to go back."

"Then I'll transfer you 100,000 yuan, you can buy some things to take home."

"I don't need that much, besides, I have money."

Jiang Wan politely declined Lin Shen's offer.

"Besides, my hometown is in a remote mountain village. They don't know anything about cigarettes and alcohol, so buying them would be a waste."

"If you're really that kind-hearted... why don't you take some time to come back to my hometown with me?"

Jiang Wan revealed a wicked smile, just like a human trafficker about to kidnap a child and sell it into the mountains.

Lin Shen couldn't help but laugh out loud at their adorable appearance.

"Okay, when?"

"You really came!"

Jiang Wan blinked, surprised that Lin Shen was actually willing to go home with her.

Actually, she was quite insecure about her background.

Because she knew that Qin Yuennan, as a member of a wealthy family in the Yangtze River Delta region, must come from a very powerful and influential family.

Even Gu Wanqing's family was among the better-off.

But what about yourself?

The rural girl from the mountains is simply no match for Lin Shen!

Therefore, Jiang Wan rarely mentions her family when she is with Lin Shen.

But he didn't seem to mind, which touched Jiang Wan quite a bit. Her beautiful eyes, curved into crescent shapes, revealed her happiest emotions.

“Going back to my hometown is a real hassle. First, I have to take the high-speed rail, then the train, and finally transfer to a bus and a public bus, and then take a tricycle to get into the mountains.”

"Consider it a trip to see the beautiful landscapes of our motherland."

Lin Shen didn't care about the complexity of the journey; instead, it fueled his curiosity as a boy.

"Anyway, it's just a trip. As long as I'm with my senior, I'm fine with going anywhere."

"You're really not picky."

Jiang Wan was enveloped in a deep sense of happiness when suddenly a brilliant idea flashed through her mind.

"So when are you going to take me home?"

what?
This touched a nerve with Lin Shen.

After all, Lin Shen felt quite sorry for Jiang Wan for secretly bringing Qin Yuenan home without telling anyone.

To my surprise, she brought it up herself! What should I do?
If I brought two different women home one after the other, my parents would beat me to death!
Lin Shen fell into deep thought and decided to try to calm Jiang Wan down first.

"Let's wait until you're free, senior. I'm available anytime anyway."

"How about this National Day holiday? Or maybe I shouldn't go home, and I should go to your place instead?"

Jiang Wan suggested with a smile, clearly looking forward to it.

But Lin Shen was in a dilemma, since it was simply impossible.

Putting aside how to get past her parents, Nan Jie would probably throw a tantrum if she found out about this!

Just as Lin Shen was pondering how to solve this century-old problem, Jiang Wan saw through his inner turmoil and cleverly steered the conversation away from the topic.

"But I should have given you a heads-up beforehand, so it seems like we'll have to wait until next time."

"Yes."

Seeing Lin Shen let out a long sigh of relief, Jiang Wan lowered her eyelids slightly, feeling a little disappointed.

Although she didn't expect to develop a deeper bond with Lin Shen, such as getting married.

But Jiang Wan knew very well that if a girl was taken home by a boy, it meant that she had gained the boy's approval.

So Lin Shen hasn't accepted me yet...

Although Jiang Wan didn't think Lin Shen would think that way, she couldn't help but have some extra thoughts.

Fortunately, Lin Shen gave her a Yangwang U7 worth over 700,000 yuan today, which made her quickly abandon that idea.

Lin Shen definitely loves me.

He probably didn't take me home because my request was too abrupt, and he wasn't mentally prepared.

Once he's done, I guess I can go home with him.

After finding a reason to exonerate Lin Shen in her heart, Jiang Wan's mood improved a lot, and she immediately continued to interact with the cat.

Lin Shen smiled and stayed by his side, glancing at his phone occasionally.

Sun Jialin's viral video should be the first one among his signed artists to go viral, right?

If that's the case, then the task of getting rid of Yang can also be completed.

Lin Shen opened it with great anticipation, and sure enough, it was already finished!

studio?
It seems that Shenwan Media still has to start from this.

After pondering silently, Lin Shen opened the designated skill book and, after some thought, decided to learn some skills related to media company operations.

After all, media companies are not like pet companies; their operating models are quite different.

Jiang Wan could become familiar with the latter with Qin Yuennan's help, but she didn't know much about the former either.

Therefore, Lin Shen decided to learn more on his own to avoid going down the wrong path.

So he typed keywords like "self-media studio," "media," and "operations" into the search box and successfully obtained a book—

A skills book on "Media Operations".

After clicking, Lin Shen didn't feel that he gained any new knowledge.

Aside from being a little itchy, there were no other side effects.

"what happened?"

Seeing Lin Shen playing on his phone, Jiang Wan knew he was probably dealing with work, but she still couldn't help but take his arm and chuckle.

"Chatting with that girl again? He's got his cake and eats it too, but he's still eyeing the too."

"No, I'm thinking about things related to our media."

"is it?"

Jiang Wan completely believed Lin Shen's words and then said softly.

"Since you're out having fun, don't think about work. It's good to relax. Work isn't everything in life."

"Good good."

Lin Shen put down his phone, played with Jiang Wan in the cat cafe for a while, and then planned to leave to have dinner.

After all, Lin Shen usually couldn't be late for the French meal he had booked at Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet.

If you're late, you'll likely be blacklisted.

After all, these kinds of places are hard to book; you need to book well in advance.

Fortunately, Lin Shen has connections.

If you ask Ma Zifan to contact the restaurant owner, he will naturally put Lin Shen on the waiting list.

It must be admitted that this rich second-generation does have some influence in Shanghai.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away. What date do you want?"

"Today's?"

"Today's?"

Ma Zifan on the other end of the phone was clearly pleasantly surprised.

"What a coincidence! I just made a reservation today! I'll let you know, see you there."

"Ah."

After making the call, Lin Shen suddenly realized the importance of having friends.

It's worth noting that Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet only serves ten customers a day.

If ordinary people want to make an appointment in advance, they need to do so at least one or two months ahead of time.

But if you have connections, then things will be easier.

Lin Shen smiled and pulled Jiang Wan into his arms.

"Senior, let's go out for French food tonight."

"Okay."

In fact, Jiang Wan doesn't have any particular fondness for food. As long as she's with Lin Shen, she doesn't care what she eats.

From small dessert shops to lavish banquets like this, she can handle it all.

So, the two of them played around in the cat cafe for a while before leaving.

After Lin Shen and Jiang Wan, those two living devils, left, the shop manager, who had been "busy" all along, finally breathed a sigh of relief and could finally sit down and rest properly.

After closing the store, he immediately gathered all the employees and started cursing at the group of people.

"Are you all blind? Can't you see how messy the tables are? Are you planning to have the customers clean them up for you?"

"And the cat litter! The poop is all over your heads, and you all act like you can't see it!"

"Your performance bonus for this month is completely canceled! If this happens again, you're fired!"

Faced with the store manager's stern reprimand, the employees all shrank back, their hearts trembling slightly.

They finally understood who the person who had been chatting with the store manager was.

It is estimated to be a senior executive of Shennan, who is one level higher than the inspector.

well--!
There's nothing we can do but accept our bad luck.

-

Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet.

As the pinnacle of French cuisine in Shanghai, this restaurant does not have a specific address.

As for how to get there, the method is very simple.

That means we'll meet at the Bund first, and then take a private car to the destination.

Moreover, since this shop only operates in the evening, one bus is sufficient.

When Lin Shen and Jiang Wan arrived at the agreed meeting place, they indeed saw Ma Zifan.

However, the woman beside him was not Zhao Jianing, but a glamorous young woman who looked like a socialite.

Hey! Over here!

Upon seeing Lin Shen, Ma Zifan quickly waved, his expression momentarily stunned.

Because the woman beside Lin Shen wasn't Qin Yuenan, whom he knew, but instead a gentle-looking, busty woman. (End of Chapter)
