Chapter 336 Meeting Red Envelope
what?
Chengze Jiayuan, Building 5, Room 201.

When Lin Shen said in the living room, "Four or five hundred thousand is not even a fraction of what my car costs," Lin Qinghai's first reaction was that it was impossible.

"Just blow it."

Lin Qinghai curled his lip in disdain.

"As your father, do you think I don't know your own worth?"

"Why don't we go down and take a look?"

Lin Shen glanced at Lin Qinghai provocatively, then grinned mischievously.

“If I really have it, Dad, you have to take out your treasured wine that you’ve kept for many years and give it to Xiaonan.”

"If I don't have it, I'll give you another surprise later."

"Go and go!"

Lin Qinghai found it hard to believe that Lin Shen could own such an expensive car. After all, as his biological father, he knew Lin Shen better than anyone else.

He might be a little clever, but his earning ability is definitely not that high.

I feel that an annual salary of 300,000 to 400,000 is already the highest, how could I possibly afford a luxury car that costs only a fraction of 400,000?
So Lin Qinghai felt reassured about making the bet with his son. After getting up and dressing, he made a move to go downstairs with Lin Shen.

Seeing this, Zhao Nuanmei couldn't help but complain.

"What are you two doing! Xiaonan is still here!"

"Mom, we'll be up in a bit!"

Lin Shen turned around and smiled, then gave Qin Yuennan a reassuring look before leading Lin Qinghai downstairs.

"well--!"

Watching the father and son walk downstairs, Zhao Nuanmei couldn't help but sigh softly, then gave Qin Yuennan a helpless bitter smile.

"I'm sorry, Xiaonan, that's just how the two of them are at home, they're quite noisy."

"It's okay, it's fine this way."

Qin Yuennan said with a hint of envy.

"I think it would be great if I could get along with my father like that."

"Xiao Nan, may I ask what your family does?"

Zhao Nuanmei tried to make her voice as gentle and polite as possible, and Qin Yuennan could hear her cautiousness, as if she had no bad intentions at all.

So she felt reassured and told him everything, smiling slightly.

"Auntie, my parents are both business people who make precision medical devices."

Precision medical devices!?
Upon hearing this name, even Zhao Nuanmei, who knew nothing about such things, knew very well that Qin Yuennan's family must be very well-off.

They're at least several levels higher than me!
After all, I'm just an ordinary office worker, while the other person's family runs a business. How can we compare?
Will his son be looked down upon when he visits his home?
Zhao Nuanmei was filled with worry, which made her expression serious, and she even stopped talking.

Qin Yuennan clearly saw through her thoughts, so she spoke gently.

"Auntie, don't worry, my parents are very open-minded. They are not the kind of people who would object to my relationship with Lin Shen because of our family's financial situation."

"Besides, I think Lin Shen is very outstanding, and my parents will definitely like him very much."

"Oh, Xiaonan, don't praise Xiaoshen too much."

As Lin Shen's mother, how could she not know his own worth?

In Zhao Nuanmei's eyes, he was incredibly lucky to have found a girlfriend like Qin Yuennan!

Only a woman truly knows how outstanding her physical appearance is.

With such a beautiful daughter and such a good family background, how could her parents marry her into our family?

Zhao Nuanmei absolutely refused to believe it.

But by observing the interaction between Qin Yuennan and Lin Shen, Zhao Nuanmei suddenly felt that the beautiful and elegant "daughter-in-law" in front of her seemed to really like Lin Shen.

This left her, as a mother, utterly bewildered and even incredulous.

How could such an outstanding girl be interested in my son?

Only a ghost can believe it!

Could it be... that things have already escalated to the point of no return?

So Zhao Nuanmei asked again in a low voice.

"Xiao Nan, what exactly do you like about Xiao Shen?"

"a lot of."

Qin Yuennan listed them out.

"First of all, Lin Shen's work ability is outstanding. When I was his boss, he was the most important member of our team. He led and successfully completed many complex tasks."

"Now that he has resigned, he has founded Shennan and has not only managed to have offline stores all over Shanghai within two months, but he also plans to continue to expand outwards."

"Etc., etc!"

Zhao Nuanmei quickly interrupted Qin Yuennan, not because she was impolite, but because she didn't understand what Qin Yuennan was saying.

"Xiao Shen resigned?"

"correct."

Qin Yuennan nodded.

"He's starting his own business now."

what?
Start a business?

Zhao Nuanmei's eyes widened in surprise.

To be honest, she couldn't associate this word with Lin Shen at all.

In her view, her family's conditions were not very good, and they came from a small county town, so they didn't have any interpersonal or financial resources to offer.

Therefore, in Zhao Nuanmei's mind, it would be good enough if Lin Shen just honestly became a working man.

If I could get a promotion, that would be even better.

As for starting a business, it's too far removed from the forest and extremely risky.

After all, when it comes to starting a business, Zhao Nuanmei thinks of words like "loan," "bankruptcy," and "external debt."

It's not easy for ordinary people to earn money through working; they can just save it up. Why do they have to start their own business?
Those rich kids start businesses because their families can support them, but we don't have that kind of financial backing!

Zhao Nuanmei asked with a worried expression.

"Xiao Nan, is Xiao Shen's startup...okay?"

"You may be underestimating your son."

Qin Yuenan also knew that Zhao Nuanmei did not look down on Lin Shen, but was shocked by his changes.

After all, she herself was quite shocked at first.

An ordinary employee has transformed into the chairman of Shennan.

This change of identity was completed within two months; no one could believe it!
It took Qin Yuening two months to accept Lin Shen's change. She definitely wouldn't be able to accept it if she mentioned it to Zhao Nuanmei immediately.

So she explained softly.

"Your son's company, Shennan, now has more than 50 employees and dozens of offline stores, completely covering all districts of Shanghai."

"Moreover, Lin Shen has a lot of connections, which helped him to advance further in business."

"Really?"

Zhao Nuanmei felt that Qin Yuennan wouldn't lie to her, so her wide eyes were filled with surprise.

"Xiao Shen is already this good?"

"Yes."

Qin Yuennan chuckled.

"Of course, his ability is only one aspect of what I like about him. He also has a great personality. He is very considerate and gentle. Although he can be quite childish at times, he always shows a unique maturity and composure when it comes to serious matters."

"And he's been very good to me too. Most importantly, I believe you've seen it yourself, your son has changed a lot."

"Yes."

Zhao Nuanmei deeply agreed with these words.

"I didn't even recognize him at first, Xiao Shen has become so handsome." "Yes."

Qin Yuennan smiled gently.

"Your son is so outstanding, do you still think it's just a coincidence that I took a liking to him?"

"Xiao Nan, you are excellent too."

Zhao Nuanmei gently placed her hand on the back of Qin Yuennan's hand and said tenderly.

"You're so beautiful, have such a great presence, and come from a very good family. As for your job, there's no need to say more."

"With your outstanding qualities, compared to Xiao Shen..."

"They're a perfect match."

For the first time, Qin Yuennan interrupted Zhao Nuanmei, then maintained her polite smile and asked a question in return.

"Auntie, don't you plan to let me be with Lin Shen?"

"how could it be possible!"

Qin Yuennan's words were immediately denied by Zhao Nuanmei, who then hurriedly added.

"If you're willing to be with Xiao Shen, I'd be overjoyed, how could I possibly object?"

"But there's one thing I think you might mind."

Having served as a senior executive at Chongyoujia for so many years, Qin Yuenan possesses an extremely keen eye for people, capable of analyzing a person's personality and abilities in just a few glances.

Therefore, after a brief meeting, Qin Yuennan was quite certain that Lin Shen's mother was a very easy-going, simple-minded middle-aged woman who would never have any bad intentions.

Therefore, Qin Yuennan was happy to share her innermost thoughts with her.

After all, it's better to speak out than not.

“I’m probably a bit older than Lin Shen.”

"How old are you?"

“28, three years older than Lin Shen.”

Qin Yuennan lowered her head, seemingly a little nervous, and didn't dare to look Zhao Nuanmei in the eye when she revealed her age.

However, the sudden soft laughter made her raise her face in surprise.

"What's the big deal!"

Zhao Nuanmei laughed out loud, then gently comforted her.

"I thought he was thirty years older than me, but he's only three years older. Age isn't such a big deal anymore."

"As school time increases, everyone's educational level rises, and their perspective on the world also changes... By the way, may I ask Xiaonan about your educational background?"

"master."

Qin Yuennan said softly.

"Department of Finance, Fudan University"

what?
Zhao Nuanmei was somewhat bewildered.

Fudan University?

A Master's degree in Finance?
That's an amazing academic background!
Zhao Nuanmei's excitement grew stronger and stronger. She held Qin Yuennan's hand tightly and wouldn't let go, as if afraid that Qin Yuennan would run away. She chuckled and her face was full of bright smiles.

"Wow, you have such a high level of education! Then don't worry about your age! After all, you were already 24 or 25 when you graduated, and after working for a few years, isn't it normal to be 28? Besides, you don't look 28, I think you're only in your early twenties."

"Auntie, please don't praise me."

"What I said is true!"

Zhao Nuanmei said confidently, her eyes filled with affection for Qin Yuenan, and she even felt increasingly itchy as she looked at her, wishing she could immediately get married to Lin Shen on the spot.

After all, such a perfect daughter-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern!
Family background, appearance, education, job... she has almost no flaws!

She's practically the perfect daughter-in-law in every husband's family's eyes!
"Xiao Nan, don't worry."

Therefore, Zhao Nuanmei hurriedly comforted Qin Yuennan, fearing that she would run away at the slightest provocation.

"Forget about age, I've already decided on you! You're going to be our daughter-in-law."

After saying that, Zhao Nuanmei got up and went to the bedroom. When she came out, she was holding a thick stack of red envelopes and handed them to Qin Yuennan.

"Take this gift for now. If you think it's not enough, Auntie will give you a bigger red envelope later!"

"No need, Auntie."

Qin Yuennan was flattered and never expected to receive a gift from Zhao Nuanmei. Her heart pounded, and she quickly declined.

"You've gone to so much trouble, I really don't need these."

"Oh, just take it, I told you to."

This time, Zhao Nuanmei stood her ground for a moment. No matter how Qin Yuennan tried to return the red envelope, she refused to take it and even put on a stern face and said in a deep voice.

"Xiao Nan, are you upset that Auntie didn't give you enough?"

"No."

Qin Yuennan hurriedly shook her head, while Zhao Nuanmei took the opportunity to chuckle.

"That's good. You can keep it. It's probably not a lot of money compared to your salary anyway. Just consider it a token of my appreciation."

"..."

After Zhao Nuanmei's alternating blushing and stern encouragement, Qin Yuennan finally felt too embarrassed to return the money.

However, she couldn't just sit there awkwardly, so she got up and went to the sofa, seemingly to put the money back in her bag, but actually took out a gift she had bought specifically for Zhao Nuanmei.

"Auntie, this is for you. I don't know if you'll like it."

what?
When Qin Yuennan opened the gift box, revealing the gold necklace, gold bracelet, and gold ring inside, Zhao Nuanmei was completely stunned.

Her eyes widened, her heart pounded, and her expression was filled with surprise and excitement.

No woman could resist gold, and even though she was over forty or fifty, Zhao Nuanmei still loved gold.

Moreover, the two pieces of gold jewelry that Qin Yuennan bought are probably almost as heavy as two other pieces of gold jewelry combined.

It must weigh at least 70 or 80 grams.

Based on the current gold price of 700-800 yuan per gram, the gold in this is worth at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.

"No, no, no, this is too valuable!"

Zhao Nuanmei's first reaction was panic, because the price of fifty or sixty thousand yuan was far beyond her expectations.

She did think that Qin Yuennan might bring her a gift. If it was something worth several thousand yuan, she would gladly accept it and even feel happy.

But the price was ten times higher than she had imagined!
How can you accept something worth tens of thousands so easily?
Seeing Zhao Nuanmei decline, Qin Yuennan smiled and sent her words back to her.

"Auntie, if you don't accept it, it means you don't approve of me."

"But……"

Qin Yuennan's words put Zhao Nuanmei in a difficult position. She quickly took Qin Yuennan's hand and said with deep emotion, her voice even trembling slightly.

"Xiao Nan, Auntie knows you like Lin Shen and understands your politeness, but Auntie really can't accept such valuable gold."

"Not valuable."

Qin Yuennan smiled slightly.

"To be honest, Lin Shen has made a lot of money recently and has given me a lot of gifts. This gold is not even a tenth of what he has given me."

"So I hope you can accept these gifts, as I am doing my filial duty to you on behalf of Lin Shen."

"Xiao Nan..."

Qin Yuennan's words deeply moved Zhao Nuanmei, who held onto her future daughter-in-law's hand tightly.

"You're so kind, I don't know what to say."

"Your acceptance is the greatest gift you can give me in return."

Qin Yuennan maintained her smiling expression, then quickly changed the subject.

"You probably don't know how much money your son is making now, do you?"
