Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Inside VIP Box 101 at Golden Palace International.

Under the dazzling lights, the JBL speakers paired with the Crown T10 amplifier amplified Lin Shen's slightly magnetic youthful male voice to an extreme degree.

Paired with a beautiful melody, it perfectly captures the essence of the music.

Of course, Lin Shen's profound singing skills were not what surprised Zhao Weidong. What surprised him was that the female college students he had just mentioned were now lying on top of him on either side of this rich second-generation.

Two heads jostled each other, filling the dimly lit environment with a strong sense of ambiguity and excitement.

It's started so soon?

Zhao Weidong was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

He was still worried that Lin Shen might not be able to relax. After all, judging from the way Lin Shen looked around curiously when he entered Jinzun International before, even if it wasn't his first time at ShangK, he probably hadn't been there many times.

This made Zhao Weidong worry whether it would be better to take Lin Shen to a bar, since that's where young people are the main players.

Businessmen in their thirties and forties usually go back to business; someone like Lin Shen, a rich second-generation, probably wouldn't be interested in that.

But now it seems that all my worries were unnecessary.

Lin Shen adapted to this situation very quickly.

So Zhao Weidong pretended not to see anything, walked straight to the female college students he had chosen, hugged them in his arms, and asked with a smile.

"Why didn't you go and keep Chairman Lin company?"

"Mr. Zhao, they came here specifically to keep you company."

The two people next to Zhao Weidong were old acquaintances of his and knew the rules of the business very well.

Now that you've been chosen, the first thing to do is not to change people randomly or go to different private rooms.

Don't ruin ShangK's reputation for a short-term, petty gain.

Even if you have acquaintances in other private rooms, it won't work; you just have to stick to one place with good service.

Otherwise, if the customer complains after leaving, you'll be in deep trouble.

Therefore, even though Lin Shen was many times more handsome than Zhao Weidong, the girl next to him didn't approach him, but waited for Zhao Weidong to return.

At this point, Lin Shen's performance was nearing its end.

At first, his score was much higher than Xiao Ruan and Aning next to him, but due to the antics of these two girls, his voice became noticeably less stable in the second half of the song.

In the end, Lin Shen lost.

"I lost."

Lin Shen wasn't one to renege on his debts, so he simply smiled and lay back on the sofa.

“Show your QR code.”

"Chairman Lin, you don't come to places like this often, do you?"

Xiao Ruan raised her head and smiled charmingly.

"Electronic payments are prohibited here, so you can pay in cash."

"Cash..."

To be honest, Lin Shen didn't bring much cash with him, at most tens of thousands of yuan.

He originally intended to transfer 10,000 yuan to each person, but since you are accepting cash, I will give less.

So Lin Shen could only take ten red bills from his bag and give each of them ten, but this amount still brought a look of surprise to their faces.

"Chairman Lin, you're so generous!"

"Thank you, Chairman Lin."

"You have to accept the consequences of your bet."

Lin Shen smiled, then looked at Zhao Weidong beside him.

Why aren't you singing?

"I'm a little embarrassed to make a fool of myself in front of Chairman Lin."

Zhao Weidong was surprised and somewhat embarrassed by Lin Shen's professional-singer-like singing skills.

He never expected that Lin Shen would possess so many unique skills.

He possesses a noble status, a wealthy background, handsome looks, and entrepreneurial abilities unmatched by his peers.

That's not all, now they've added singing skills too?
This made Zhao Weidong admire this young man for the first time.

"Chairman Lin, you're so amazing, I'm afraid if I sing something I'll make you laugh to death."

"So what? We're here to sing, aren't we? What does it matter if I sing well or not?"

Lin Shen lay back on the sofa, squinting, and lecturing Xiao Ruan and A Ning while stroking their heads.

"If you're given a stage, take it. Don't wait until you're kicked off before you realize your mistake and regret it."

"..."

These words startled Zhao Weidong, who had to admit that although Lin Shen was young, his social experience seemed to be richer than his own, a middle-aged man in his forties.

He really is the president of Shennan.

Those who can reach this position are no ordinary people.

So Zhao Weidong stopped being shy, picked up the microphone, and requested the song "Brothers, Give Me a Hug".

As a must-sing song for middle-aged men at karaoke, this song has a simple melody and catchy lyrics.

Anyone can do it, and sing it in tune.

But Zhao Weidong is clearly the exception.

When Lin Shen heard him pouring out his emotions into the microphone, he regretted it.

He deeply regretted the things he had just said to Zhao Weidong.

I really shouldn't have let you sing!
But Zhao Weidong was clearly encouraged by Lin Shen, and he sang with increasing enthusiasm.

This made the two female college students next to him restless, and they directly took his hand and placed it on their black-stockinged thighs to persuade him.

"Mr. Zhao, let's stop singing and have some massage instead."

"Never mind that! I'm going to finish singing!"

Zhao Weidong was clearly in high spirits, and even requested another song after he finished singing.

After singing both songs, he suddenly realized that he had overlooked the feelings of Lin Shen, the absolute protagonist of this trip to the KTV.

He sat upright on the sofa, while Xiao Ruan and Aning went to the small bathroom in the private room to rinse their mouths and wash their faces.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Lin."

Zhao Weidong scratched his head, which made Lin Shen wave his hand.

"It's okay, just keep singing."

"Please do it."

"..."

Seeing that Zhao Weidong was being modest, Lin Shen didn't say much. After singing a few songs, the program arranged by Chen Feng began.

The group of female college students changed into white tank tops and black shorts, wearing black stockings and red-soled high heels, and began to dance to K-pop music.

Of course, on the surface it's a K-pop dance, but in reality it's a seductive hot dance.

Her suggestive dance moves, paired with her almost erotic expressions, were enough to steal a man's soul with every smile and frown.

But this had no effect on Lin Shen.

First, he's seen far more beautiful women than these women; second, he has someone by his side who dances Korean dance better than any of them.

Sun Jialin.

For some reason, Lin Shen suddenly thought of Gu Wanqing's roommate.

I haven't paid attention to her for a long time. I wonder how she's doing with her senior lately?
Lin Shen drank while "enjoying" the dance.

After Xiao Ruan and Aning came out, they sidled up to him again, drinking and laughing with him.

The cheerful laughter of women, the lively melody, and the crisp sound of clinking glasses.

This suddenly made Lin Shen feel very bored.

Of course, it wasn't that he entered a state of sagehood, but rather that he suddenly felt that the surrounding environment was very noisy.

It was so noisy it gave him a headache.

So, when Xiao Ruan straddled Lin Shen, kissing his Adam's apple and neck while twisting her sexy waist, intending to get straight to the point.

Lin Shen pushed her away and stood up, speaking softly.

"I'm going back."

Eh?
Xiao Ruan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly began to act coquettishly.

"Chairman Lin, did Xiaoruan do something wrong? I apologize to you, okay? I'm sorry."

“You did nothing wrong.”

Lin Shen glanced at Zhao Weidong, who had hurriedly stood up.

"I have to go back to Shanghai tomorrow. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"Then I'll take you there."

Zhao Weidong clearly didn't dare to ask any more questions, but instead quietly asked after seeing Lin Shen to the door, "Chairman Lin, are you dissatisfied with this arrangement?"

"pretty good."

Lin Shen patted Zhao Weidong on the shoulder and said calmly.

Don't overthink it.

"oh oh."

Zhao Weidong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He originally wanted to drive Lin Shen there, but at that moment, the familiar Bentley Flying Spur slowly pulled up in front of Jinzun International.

Shen Yun got off the bus.

"Chairman Lin."

Shen Yun smiled and opened the back door, inviting Lin Shen to get in.

"I've come to pick you up."

"Then I'll be going now."

Lin Shen patted Zhao Weidong on the shoulder again, and he didn't feel anything was wrong with this gesture from an elder to a younger person.

After all, in the business world, status determines seniority, not age.

"Okay, take care."

After seeing Lin Shen off, Zhao Weidong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Chen Feng ran over and asked curiously.

"Why did Chairman Lin leave so suddenly? I was hoping to find an opportunity to offer him a toast."

He said he had something to do.

Zhao Weidong sighed softly.

"But I think it's possible that Chairman Lin doesn't like the environment at Business K. What if he's not satisfied..."

"Don't overthink it. If he was dissatisfied, he would have said so already."

Chen Feng smiled and put his arm around Zhao Weidong's shoulder.

"Hey bro, now that Chairman Lin's gone, how about we go in for a drink?"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Weidong became interested and instantly forgot his troubles. He and Chen Feng returned to Jinzun International arm in arm.

……

"Xiao Shen, why did you leave so early?"

Lin Shen rested his chin on his hand, gazing quietly at the city nightscape rushing past outside the window.

Compared to the bustling metropolis of Shanghai, Nanjing's night view is more serene and tranquil.

The neon lights were on, but there were very few people and not many vehicles on the street.

After all, Nanjing isn't a city with a vibrant nightlife; most people are probably asleep by now, waiting to go to work the next day.

Just as Lin Shen was staring out the window in a daze, Shen Yun's gentle voice came from the driver's seat.

"Did Zhao Weidong fail to entertain you properly?"

"He's doing fine."

Lin Shen said calmly.

"I just don't like noisy environments, that's all."

"Is that so?"

Shen Yun felt she understood Lin Shen's preferences and knew he preferred quiet to activity, so she turned down the car music and asked softly.

"Then why did you agree to Zhao Weidong's request?"

"It's like experiencing a new chapter in my life."

Lin Shen chuckled softly.

"However, I didn't really like this experience."

"That's because the women around you are all of such high quality."

Shen Yun astutely pointed out the reason why Lin Shen wasn't very interested in Shang K.

"Those female college students who work at KTVs would be considered class beauties or department beauties in their schools."

"But who are the people around you? President Qin, Xiao Ping, and even your secretary Xu Lei were all campus beauties at their undergraduate institutions."

"Having seen so many top-quality beauties, you naturally have no interest in Shang K anymore."

"That's it."

Lin Shen felt that Shen Yun was very professional in seeing through people's hearts, so he smiled and changed the subject.

"Actually, Aunt Shen, you're not bad either."

"Xiao Shen, you have such a sweet tongue."

After Shen Yun covered her mouth and giggled twice, the atmosphere inside the car became much more relaxed.

When the two arrived at the Bulgari Hotel and took the elevator to the presidential suite, they found that Xu Wenjie was also there.

This startled Lin Shen, who then hurriedly greeted him.

"Hello, Chairman Lin."

“I sent Wenjie.”

Fearing that Lin Shen might misunderstand, Shen Yun quickly took his arm and whispered an explanation in his ear.

“I’ve already told Wenjie about our relationship.”

Oh?
This surprised Lin Shen quite a bit. After glancing at Shen Yun's hesitant expression, the clever man seemed to realize the reason why this beautiful mature woman did this.

They simply wanted Xu Wenjie to enter the upper echelons of Shennan.

Tell him the secret first, so as to lay the groundwork for what's to come.

"You want your nephew to join the core management team of Shennan?"

Lin Shen asked with a smile. Although her voice was gentle, Shen Yun knew very well that if she answered a single wrong question, Xu Wenjie would probably not be able to join the upper echelons of Shennan.

So this usually composed and mature woman carefully considered her words before giving a serious and cautious reply.

“Chairman Lin, if Wenjie wants to join the core management team of Shennan, his status will no longer be that of my nephew. I will not help him with any back door. Everything will depend on his abilities.”

"Furthermore, I hope he can work as a store manager in a physical store for a period of time to fully understand the pet industry before joining the company. This will help him better understand user needs, rather than just being superficial and unrealistic."

"I know."

Lin Shen smiled as he looked at Xu Wenjie, whose face was full of tension.

“Aside from your nephew’s identity, he is also a very outstanding person, just lacking in experience.”

"I see."

Shen Yun nodded, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Lin Shen doesn't refuse, then there's still a chance.

"You guys continue chatting, I'm going to take a shower."

Lin Shen smiled and waved his hand, then went to the bathroom to take a shower, washing away all the fatigue of the day.

Then, wrapped in his bathrobe, he went to the balcony, overlooking the city's night view, and took out his phone to call Qin Yuennan.

"Hey?"

A lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, as if it carried the weariness of someone who had just taken a shower.

This prompted Lin Shen to ask with a smile.

"Sister Nan, what are you doing?"

"Skincare".

Qin Yuennan sat in front of the dressing table and patted her face a few times, then chatted casually with Lin Shen.

"Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

"Can't I call you if I miss you?"

Lin Shen smiled and asked a question in return, but Qin Yuenan snorted coldly.

"You used to video call me whenever you missed me, but now you're just calling, which means video calls aren't suitable for you."

"So, you're living with Aunt Shen?"

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from Sister Nan."

Lin Shen touched his nose guiltily, while Qin Yuenan smiled lightly again, as if she had a certain confidence that she had "already seen through" him.

"You think you can hide your little secret from me?"

"That definitely can't be kept from Sister Nan."

Lin Shen smiled slightly, then changed the subject.

"By the way, how's things going in Shennan?" (End of Chapter)
