Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Inside the private room.

During Zhao Weidong's absence, the others were finally able to speak with Lin Shen.

Just now, this guy had been monopolizing Lin Shen, drinking and chatting with him, and even seemed to have closed a big deal.

This made those around them extremely envious.

Therefore, you absolutely cannot miss the opportunity to have a long chat with Lin Shen!
"Chairman Lin."

A group of people vied to toast Lin Shen, their attitude humble and sincere.

This surprised him; he hadn't expected to be so popular.

However, this also proves the importance of a good client.

In terms of fast payment processing alone, Shennan has already surpassed 99% of companies on the market.

Who wouldn't want to cooperate with them?

As a result, everyone surrounded Lin Shen, making him feel the enthusiasm while also letting out a soft sigh.

Seeing this, Shen Yun, who had been silent all along, gave a charming smile.

"Everyone, please don't be in such a hurry. Chairman Lin's willingness to meet with you today indicates that he is inclined to cooperate. There's no need to appear so impatient."

Reminded by Shen Yun, everyone realized that Lin Shen's expression was a bit annoyed, so they quickly returned to their seats with a forced smile.

Seeing this, Lin Shen gave Shen Yun a look that said, "You're very good."

It must be admitted that this beautiful mature woman has far more experience in negotiating business at banquets than he does.

However, Shen Yun did not take the initiative. While Lin Shen and Zhao Weidong were chatting, she just ate her food quietly and did not interrupt at all.

Her main reason was that she wanted to leave today's "protagonist" to Lin Shen, since he was the chairman of Shennan.

If I interrupt too often, it will make me seem very inconsiderate.

Even though she had a good relationship with Lin Shen, she still had to give him face on important occasions.

Seeing that everyone had finished their work again, Lin Shen smiled.

"Take it one at a time, no rush."

"Then I'll go first!"

Some volunteered, while others waited patiently.

At the ensuing banquet, we didn't eat much food; we spent most of our time chatting.

Of course, Lin Shen never expected that he would need so many suppliers!
Pet bathing requires grooming products, employee clothing is needed, and even opening a physical store requires cooperation with a decoration company.

In short, there are too many people collaborating!

This made Lin Shen very glad that he made Shen Yun the head of Shennan's supply chain.

What was originally a major headache for Lin Shen was surprisingly sorted out with her help.

For example, Shen Yun knew exactly what products that company needed to provide during that time period.

Finally, by the end of the banquet, the business negotiations were nearing their conclusion.

At this moment, Zhao Weidong, having finished making arrangements, hurriedly arrived and raised his glass.

"I'm sorry, Chairman Lin, I had to go out to arrange some things and couldn't spend enough time with you. I'll punish myself with a drink; please feel free to drink as you please."

"it is good."

After downing the full glass of baijiu in one gulp, Zhao Weidong appeared slightly tipsy.

After all, his face, which looked like a red bottom, was enough to show that he seemed to have reached his limit.

However, Lin Shen acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to chat and laugh.

He drank quite a bit too!

This prompted Zhao Weidong to give Lin Shen a thumbs up and exclaim in praise.

"Chairman Lin, you're so young, yet you have such a high alcohol tolerance! You're truly amazing!"

"It's alright."

I am simply unaffected by alcohol because of the effects of "exercise and health".

Lin Shen muttered to himself, when Zhao Weidong suddenly leaned over and chuckled.

"Chairman Lin, would you like to go somewhere nice later? I've already made the arrangements."

A nice place?
Lin Shen was stunned for a moment. When he saw Zhao Weidong's slightly lewd and excited smile, he understood everything as a man.

But he clearly had little interest in this kind of thing.

The main reason is that he had a big battle with Shen Yun last night, so he doesn't have a great need for that kind of thing.

Secondly, it's become very difficult for ordinary women to catch Lin Shen's eye.

After all, with a group of high-quality women around me, do I really need to go jungle?
They might be carrying some kind of disease.

It's unsafe, and the quality won't be very high either.

Anyway, Lin Shen thought he might as well just refuse, so he said with a smile.

"No, Mr. Shen and I are going back to rest. We need to get back to Shanghai tomorrow."

"Ah, this..."

Lin Shen's refusal left Zhao Weidong speechless for a moment, and he scratched his head in frustration.

After all, he went to great lengths and spent a lot of money to arrange this, so it would be meaningless if the main character didn't show up!

However, forcing him to comply would be too impolite, which left Zhao Weidong in a dilemma.

Shen Yun, who was standing to the side, was very good at reading people's expressions. When she saw Zhao Weidong and Lin Shen plotting, she realized what it was about, so she smiled and said.

"Chairman Lin, please don't refuse Manager Zhao's kind offer. I'll head back now, but please feel free to call me if you need anything."

"..."

Lin Shen was slightly taken aback, because he knew very well that Shen Yun, who had extremely high emotional intelligence, would not accept being persuaded to refuse in this situation.

Since she put it that way, it seems like it wouldn't hurt to go and broaden her horizons.

If they refused this time, what about next time?

Aside from drinking parties, these are the only places where men can collaborate.

I'll have to go through this sooner or later, so I might as well gain some experience this time.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Shen nodded slightly.

"Ok."

"Thank you so much for coming!"

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Zhao Weidong was overjoyed and gave Shen Yun a grateful look.

Mr. Shen is so sensible!

So, as the banquet drew to a close, the group left the private room and went to the hotel entrance, exchanging pleasantries as they saw each other off to their cars.

In the end, only five people remained.

"Let's go, Wenjie."

Although Lin Shen was allowed to go, Shen Yun would absolutely not allow her nephew to go along and mess around.

After all, he doesn't need to witness such grand occasions, and he won't need to negotiate business with clients in the future.

But Lin Shen is different. As the chairman of Shennan, even if Zhao Weidong doesn't invite him this time, many other people will invite him in the future.

So Shen Yun pulled Xu Wenjie away directly, which surprised him.

"Auntie... uh, Mr. Shen, shall we go back first?"

"if not?"

Shen Yun gave Xu Wenjie a look, but this look was no longer the polite look between a superior and subordinate; it was the dignified look of an elder.

This startled Xu Wenjie, who didn't dare ask any more questions and immediately sat in the passenger seat.

"Chairman Lin, we'll be leaving now."

After saying goodbye to Lin Shen, Shen Yun left with Xu Wenjie.

After all, as the woman, she didn't drink at the dinner table and didn't need to trouble a designated driver.

However, Xu Wenjie drank quite a lot.

Perhaps emboldened by the alcohol, Xu Wenjie finally asked the question he wanted to ask.

"Auntie, may I ask you a question?"

"explain."

"It's about your relationship with Chairman Lin..."

After carefully considering his words, Xu Wenjie spoke softly.

"Isn't something wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yun's lips curled into a half-smile, seemingly unfazed by Xu Wenjie's suspicions, instead exuding a sense of confidence as if she were in control of the situation.

Because she had already guessed that her nephew would suspect her.

And that's exactly the result she wanted.

"I feel that you and Chairman Lin are too close."

Xu Wenjie tentatively asked, "Do you like Chairman Lin?"

"Chairman Lin is handsome, has a good physique, is capable of founding Shennan, is very rich, and has a mature and stable personality."

After praising Lin Shen, Shen Yun suddenly changed the subject and chuckled.

"What woman wouldn't like a man like that?"

"..."

These words left Xu Wenjie speechless, because what Shen Yun said was true.

Lin Shen's excellence is absolutely unparalleled among people his age.

Even Xu Wenjie, who is the same age as him, admits that he is not as good as him.

He may have a higher level of education than Lin Shen, but that was just a stepping stone.

True knowledge doesn't just appear in books for you to learn.

"So, Auntie, you like Chairman Lin?"

"Ah."

Shen Yun was well aware of Xu Wenjie's concerns, so she chuckled lightly in a half-joking tone.

"Do you think we're not a good match?"

"Ah, this..."

Xu Wenjie scratched his head, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Is this appropriate?

Aunt, you're already forty-two, but Lin Shen is only twenty-five.

A seventeen-year age gap seems inappropriate no matter how you look at it!

But Xu Wenjie was too embarrassed to say it out loud, since Shen Yun had taken good care of him.

Shen Yun provided Xu Wenjie with tremendous help, both in his studies and in his life.

Therefore, he respected his aunt very much and dared not offend her in the slightest.

Of course, Shen Yun also knew very well that Xu Wenjie was a polite child, so she helped him to say what was on his mind.

“I know why you’re not saying anything. You probably think the age difference between your aunt and Chairman Lin is too big.”

"But you should know that with the development of medical technology, age difference is now the least important thing in a relationship."

“When we were young, there were countless examples of men in their twenties or thirties marrying girls in their eighteens or nineteens. Even a certain great figure in China married a woman more than fifty years younger than him when he was over eighty years old.”

"Yes."

Xu Wenjie nodded in agreement, but still felt there was something wrong with this aspect.

The one who made him feel most uneasy was Lin Shen.

With his outstanding qualities, finding a young, beautiful, rich, and successful woman shouldn't be a problem for him.

Why does it have to be your aunt?
Of course, Xu Wenjie's thoughts were not intended to belittle Shen Yun at all.

He just felt that the two of them were not a good match.

If we live together in the future, people might gossip about us behind our backs.

But Shen Yun clearly didn't mind this aspect, so she asked with a smile.

"Wenjie, do you agree to your aunt being with Chairman Lin?"

"Of course I agree."

Xu Wenjie nodded, which made Shen Yun's lips curl into a meaningful smile.

"Then you mustn't tell anyone what I'm about to say."

?

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenjie's expression immediately turned serious.

"I absolutely do not make things up."

Xu Wenjie felt that Shen Yun's next words might be the highlight!

"The relationship between Chairman Lin and me is not the kind of romantic relationship you imagine."

Shen Yun suddenly smiled charmingly and whispered.

"We're lovers."

lover?

These words struck Xu Wenjie like a bolt from the blue, causing his eyes to widen in disbelief.

Is my aunt having an affair with Chairman Lin?

why?
To be honest, even if Xu Wenjie were to make a bold guess, he would never have guessed that the relationship between Lin Shen and Shen Yun was like this.

Because it's unbelievable!
One is a successful businesswoman with a net worth of over 100 million yuan, and the other is a rising star in the industry who founded Shennan Pet Industry.

How could these two be lovers?

If this gets out, it will not only severely damage the reputations of the two of them, but it may also indirectly affect the development of Shennan!

Xu Wenjie subconsciously swallowed, then asked incredulously.

"Auntie, is everything you said true?"

"of course."

Shen Yun smiled.

"Perhaps you are not very clear about the management structure of Shennan. In fact, there is another person on the board of directors. She is the nominal CEO of Shennan. It is not just Chairman Lin who is in charge."

Oh?
Shen Yun's words immediately piqued Xu Wenjie's interest.

Who is the other party?

"Qin Yuennan, President Qin."

Shen Yun said calmly.

"She is Lin Shen's girlfriend."

The main reason she revealed her true relationship with Lin Shen to Xu Wenjie was because Qin Yuenan was still working at the company.

After all, with Xu Wenjie's abilities, he will become a core member of Shennan sooner or later.

Sooner or later, I will meet Qin Yuenan.

Since that's the case, it's better to lay everything out in advance and let Xu Wenjie understand the relationship between them, so as to avoid it being exposed later.

This will also give him some time to process these explosive news.

But it's clear now that there's not enough time.

After hearing that Lin Shen had a girlfriend, Xu Wenjie remained silent for a long time.

Shen Yun smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Do you think your aunt is a bad person? She actually had an affair with a man who had a girlfriend. Isn't that against ethics and morality?"

"..."

Shen Yun said everything Xu Wenjie wanted to say, but his respect for his aunt remained unchanged.

"Auntie, you must have your reasons for doing this, right?"

Xu Wenjie scratched his head and said understandingly.

"Actually, it's alright. I don't think you're a bad person, Aunt. I just think this happened rather suddenly, and I'm a little caught off guard."

"Does Chairman Lin's girlfriend know about this?"

"know."

Shen Yun's nonchalant reply once again stunned Xu Wenjie, who could hardly believe what he was hearing.

You mean, his girlfriend knows that his aunt is his boss's mistress?
Xu Wenjie felt his highly intelligent mind was a little slow to process what was happening, and then asked in surprise.

"She knew?"

"Correct."

"So, that means Mr. Qin agreed?"

"That's it."

"..."

These words plunged Xu Wenjie into a long silence.

He stopped worrying about the truth of the matter and began to admire Lin Shen's skills in seducing women.

How did he manage to get two women to coexist peacefully?

This is something so many men dream of!

Did Lin Shen actually manage to do it?
One of them was even his own aunt...

Xu Wenjie was a little confused about what Shen Yun was thinking.

Why would my aunt agree to have that kind of relationship with Lin Shen?

Could it be that...?
Xu Wenjie had a bold idea in his mind. (End of this chapter)
