Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

The first floor of the Huamao Building houses a chicken hot pot restaurant.

In the luxurious CBD of Shanghai, opening such an ordinary store is quite extraordinary.

After all, in everyone's mind, chicken pot restaurants are only located in bustling areas or on the side of residential streets.

It's truly unimaginable that it could be opened in the CBD.

But as the owner of the shop, he knew very well that all of this was thanks to Tolin Shen.

He attracted businesses by offering rent-free accommodations, which initially surprised the boss.

You're telling me you'll waive my rent and let me open a chicken hot pot restaurant right below all these office buildings where so many working people work?

This is going to be incredibly profitable!
As a result, many chicken hot pot restaurants vied for the opportunity to open a shop, and in the end, it was Old Chen who got the opportunity.

While grateful to Lin Shen for waiving his rent, Old Chen was also puzzled as to why he did so.

After all, ten or twenty thousand a month is not a small amount.

However, when Old Chen saw Lin Shen bring a tall, long-legged, and stunningly beautiful aloof woman to dinner, he understood everything.

In ancient times, there was the story of lighting beacon fires to amuse the feudal lords; today, there's the story of someone opening a chicken hotpot restaurant for their girlfriend.

This man is quite nice!

Old Chen had a very favorable impression of Lin Shen, not only because he waived his rent, but also because of his deep affection for Lin Shen.

He looks like a good man who is devoted to relationships!

"Here we go."

After the chicken pot was cooked, Old Chen personally brought it to Lin Shen and Qin Yuennan, and then smiled politely.

"Mr. Lin, please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please let me know."

"it is good."

Because Lin Shen waived his rent, Lao Chen naturally gave Lin Shen a free meal voucher and a private corner seat.

Lin Shen doesn't have to pay for anything he eats at his shop.

After all, this is nothing compared to the rent!

So Old Chen brought Lin Shen and Qin Yuennan some drinks before leaving.

Pfft——!
Lin Shen opened a can of Coke and continued his casual conversation with Qin Yuennan.

"Sister Nan, do you mean we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning?"

"Ah."

Qin Yuennan scooped some rich broth onto the rice with a spoon, then took two small bites before continuing.

"Because a lot of people will be going out during the National Day holiday, we'll go a day earlier so there won't be any traffic jams on the road."

"Sister Nan."

Lin Shen suddenly asked out of the blue.

"Have you never driven home by yourself during the National Day holiday?"

"No."

Qin Yuennan shook her head honestly.

"I usually fly home."

"That's right!"

Lin Shen snapped his fingers, then revealed a meaningful smile.

"You're too naive. During holidays, the worst traffic jams are often not on the holiday itself, but the day before!"

"Because there are too many smart people, they all want to go home the day before, but they are all stuck in traffic."

"what?"

Now it was Qin Yuennan's turn to panic.

"Are we going to be stuck in traffic for a long time?"

"almost."

Lin Shen chuckled softly.

"It's not too late to back out now. Let's all go home."

"Are you kidding me?"

Qin Yuennan glared coldly at Lin Shen.

"I've already bought the gift, and now you're going back on your word?"

"I'm not backing out, it's just that the journey is quite arduous."

"It doesn't matter."

Qin Yuennan gave a soft snort.

“I’ve been working 24 hours a day without sleep, so why would I care about driving? We can take turns driving.”

"Okay."

Lin Shen couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Sigh, if only our small county had an airport, we could just fly there and have my parents pick us up."

"Driving is pretty good, isn't it?"

To be honest, Qin Yuennan wasn't particularly fixated on whether to drive or fly home.

For her, either of these modes of transportation is acceptable.

She even prefers driving.

Although flying is convenient and the journey is short, the time I spent alone with Lin Shen in the car was quite blissful.

Therefore, Qin Yuennan didn't think anything of it; on the contrary, she was quite looking forward to it.

But as a seasoned migrant worker returning home for the holidays, Lin Shen knew all too well how arduous the journey was.

Therefore, he decided that later, he would build an airport directly in his small county town.

That way, it's convenient to go home and be a local tyrant.

"Then it's settled."

Lin Shen made plans for his holiday trip.

"After we distribute the holiday gifts to the employees this afternoon, I'll go back to my house first to pick up some luggage and things, and then go to your house, Sister Nan. We'll leave from your house tomorrow morning, is that okay?"

"Row."

The two tentatively agreed on their travel plans, and at that moment, Lin Shen suddenly asked a question out of curiosity.

"You must have told your family that you won't be coming home for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, right?"

"Nope."

???

Qin Yuenan's words made Lin Shen pause in his right hand, which was holding chopsticks to pick up chicken, and then his face was full of surprise.

"No?"

"Correct."

Looking at Qin Yuennan's resolute expression, Lin Shen was somewhat bewildered.

He assumed Qin Yuennan had already told her family, since the two had been discussing this matter for a long time.

She hasn't said anything yet?

Wouldn't that make me the culprit who took someone else's woman away from the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion?
"Sister Nan, why didn't you tell your family?"

Lin Shen cautiously probed, but Qin Yuenan gave an explanation he hadn't expected.

“My sister came back from abroad during the Mid-Autumn Festival. With her at home keeping me company, I don’t need to do anything.”

what?
Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise.

"Your sister has returned to China?"

"Correct."

Qin Yuennan put some chicken into Lin Shen's bowl before speaking softly.

"So you don't need me anymore."

"Shouldn't you tell them too?"

Lin Shen asked tentatively, then looked slightly worried.

"After all, I remember you go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, right? If you don't go home this year, won't they worry?"

"will not."

Qin Yuennan looked completely casual.

"They've been wanting me to find someone to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with for a while now. I think they'll be even happier than I am if I don't go home."

"Is it."

Seeing that Lin Shen seemed a little worried, Qin Yuennan gently comforted him.

"Don't worry, my parents won't cause you any trouble."

"It's not that I'm afraid my aunt and uncle will cause me trouble, it's that I'm afraid they'll blame me." "No, they won't."

Seeing that Lin Shen was still somewhat worried, Qin Yuennan placed her hand on the back of his hand to comfort him.

"Don't worry, I can make my own decisions, they can't control me."

"Then you really are rebellious."

Lin Shen chuckled and teased.

The two chatted and laughed, and after finishing their meal, they immediately rushed back to the company.

In the afternoon, Qin Yuennan notified all departments to come to the office area for a meeting.

This sparked a lot of discussion among Shennan's employees.

"Could it be that the boss is giving us Mid-Autumn Festival gifts?"

"That's possible! Let's go check it out."

After the company's fifty-odd employees had gathered in the office area on the 14th floor, Lin Shen asked someone to bring over the mooncake gift boxes, then coughed twice and made his remarks.

"I'm telling you all to gather in our office area. I'm sure you've already guessed why."

"First of all, I wish everyone a happy holiday. This year, National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are combined, which is quite rare. I hope everyone can buy tickets home and reunite with their families."

"On behalf of Shennan, I would like to present you with some of our customized Shennan mooncake gift boxes, as well as some small gifts. I hope you will like them."

After saying that, Lin Shen turned his head and glanced at Xu Lei beside him.

"Xiao Lei, let everyone register and receive it. Everyone will get one."

"it is good."

So Xu Lei took on the role of registrar and began distributing gifts to each of Shennan's employees.

The main products are mooncake gift boxes, which are labeled with the name of Shennan.

Because the company logo has not been finalized, the white surface of the gift box only displays the name Shen Nan.

However, its clean and luxurious appearance also suggests that this gift box must be quite valuable.

Of course, this isn't the only gift for the holidays.

When each employee received a 1,000 yuan Sam's Club shopping card, they were completely stunned.

One thousand yuan?

And it's Sam's?
Although Sam's stuff is expensive, and you can't buy much for a thousand dollars, it's still expensive enough!

Let alone the Mid-Autumn Festival, these employees rarely receive even a thousand yuan as a year-end bonus.

Needless to say, PetHome, although it is an old company, its benefits and treatment are even worse than some ordinary pet companies.

Seeing how generous Lin Shen was to them, every Shennan employee who received a holiday gift bowed to him in respect.

"Mr. Lin, thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Lin Shen didn't put on airs. He greeted each employee with a smile and waited for them to receive their holiday gifts before announcing the next item.

"I also have some good news to share with everyone. This afternoon, after you finish your work, you can go home to pack your things and prepare to go home for the holiday."

"Our Shennan Pet Shop will be closed from September 30th to October 10th."

?

Upon hearing the holiday schedule, everyone stared at each other in disbelief.

Then, someone started clapping and cheering.

"Great!"

Everyone thought the National Day holiday would only last seven days, and that people would have to return to work around the 8th.

However, Lin Shen strictly adhered to the holiday regulations and did not combine the seven-day National Day holiday with the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Instead, he gave everyone a ten-day holiday!
This benefit is far more effective at winning over the hearts of Shennan employees than a thousand yuan. In addition to their excitement, their gratitude towards Lin Shen has also grown stronger.

Seeing everyone's joyful expressions, Lin Shen smiled and gestured for them to be quiet, since there were still people working downstairs.

"Of course, everyone will be very busy after we get back, since Shennan is preparing for Double Eleven. This is our first Double Eleven, so let's try our best to win it."

"it is good!"

Shennan's employees raised their hands and cheered together, expressing their firm resolve.

Seeing such a cohesive company atmosphere, Qin Yuennan's originally indifferent heart couldn't help but be stirred.

Although she was somewhat worried that Lin Shen's distribution of so many benefits might increase costs.

But from this perspective, it seems to bring more benefits.

Seeing everyone cheering, Lin Shen smiled slightly, then walked up to Xu Lei and said softly.

"Remember to send the mooncake gift boxes to Lin Ping and Aunt Shen, and keep one for yourself too."

"Okay Mr. Lin."

Xu Lei bowed slightly in greeting.

After finishing up most of the things that were going to happen before the company holiday, Lin Shen contacted Zhou Qiang, the property manager of Huamao Building, who was also his good friend, and asked him to turn off the company's water and electricity after everyone left the next day.

"Your company is giving you a day off tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Qiang was filled with envy.

"That's great, Brother Shen! When are you going to buy an office building? I'll be your full-time manager then!"

"Hmm, let's wait a few years."

Lin Shen didn't make any empty promises.

According to his plan, after this Double Eleven shopping festival, it will be time for Shennan to expand outwards.

First and foremost, we need to focus on first-tier cities surrounding Shanghai, boosting performance in East China before targeting Beijing and the South.

First, stabilize your core base, and then gradually expand outwards.

If you take too big a step, it's easy to end up with a poor product.

We need to proceed step by step, steadily.

Lin Shen silently pondered his next plan.

……

At 5 p.m., Lin Shen and Qin Yuennan took the elevator down to the -1 floor.

"I'll drive home first, then wait for you."

"it is good."

After watching Lin Shen leave, Qin Yuenan pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, lost in thought.

After arriving home, she first laid out the various gifts she had prepared in the living room so that Lin Shen could carry them downstairs when he arrived.

Next, Qin Yuennan began packing her luggage.

Because I was going to visit Lin Shen's hometown for more than ten days, I brought quite a lot of things with me.

The contents were mainly clothes and cosmetics, filling an entire suitcase.

In fact, Qin Yuennan usually doesn't bring so many styles of clothes and a lot of cosmetics home.

Because she doesn't usually use these products; she always goes out with light makeup.

But this time is different. This time I'm going to Lin Shen's house to meet his parents, so naturally I need to bring more stylish clothes to dress myself up.

Qin Yuennan was even thinking about whether she should put on a full face of makeup before going out tomorrow morning.

But I estimate I'll be driving for most of tomorrow, and I probably won't get home until the afternoon.

In addition, Lin Shen kept saying that she looked better with her bare face than with full makeup.

Therefore, Qin Yuennan gave up the idea of ​​wearing a full face of makeup.

Besides cosmetics and clothes, the rest of the daily necessities filled another suitcase.

There were two suitcases, one large and one small, plus various gifts; it looked like they had quite a lot of stuff.

Of course, while rummaging through drawers and packing her luggage, Qin Yuennan also found some strange clothes.

For example, teacher uniforms.

This was recommended to her by Zhao Jianing, who said that if she wore it, she would definitely make Lin Shen fall head over heels for her.

Of course, Qin Yuennan firmly believed this as well.

Because she consulted Zhao Jianing, her "strategist," on all matters related to this.

The results were quite good.

For example, with the fun lingerie from last time, Lin Shen's fighting power indeed skyrocketed after she put it on, almost making her get out of bed.

Even a few days later, her legs were still slightly unsteady.

So, should I wear it today?

Qin Yuennan's face flushed slightly, and she pursed her lips, seemingly conflicted.

If I go home with Lin Shen during the holidays, I might not have a good opportunity to do this kind of thing.

She might even have to stay at his house, how could she possibly do that!

Therefore, Qin Yuening considered whether she should indulge herself tonight and unleash the desires she had accumulated over the past few days...? (End of Chapter)
