Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Huamao Building, Chairman's Office of Shennan Pet Industry.

Zhou Qiang hadn't even entered the door when he heard Lin Shen next to him want to sign a contract, which surprised him quite a bit.

"Is that the decision?"

"That's the decision."

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

“We’ve been hiring a lot lately at Shennan, and our office space is really not enough.”

"I was just thinking of asking you if you had any office space for rent, and it just so happens that you came to find me."

"hey-hey."

Zhou Qiang smiled excitedly, then expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Brother Shen, for taking such good care of me. Thanks to you, I think I'll be able to get the only top-tier subsidy in our company this year."

"That's called a win-win situation."

Lin Shen smiled slightly and patted Zhou Qiang on the shoulder.

"Go get the contract, I'll wait for you in the office."

"okay!"

After watching Zhou Qiang leave, Lin Shen returned to his office and found it to be very clean and tidy, without any of the messiness that comes with returning from a holiday.

The ground was dust-free, and even the potted plants were very well cared for.

This pleased Lin Shen quite a bit.

It's definitely a good thing to have Xu Lei as my secretary.

Lin Shen sat behind his desk and first contacted Ma Zifan by phone.

"Hey?"

A leisurely voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What wind blew Mr. Lin's phone number into my phone?"

"I just missed you, baby."

Lin Shen said this half-jokingly, which gave Ma Zifan goosebumps all over.

"Stop messing around! Be serious."

"I wasn't making a fuss, I just wanted to ask how you've been lately."

Lin Shen said with a smile.

For some reason, although he and Ma Zifan had only known each other for a month, they got along very well and their relationship quickly progressed to the point where they could joke around freely.

Of course, Ma Zifan was also a very generous friend who helped Lin Shen a lot with his connections, for which Lin Shen was very grateful.

In the adult world, interpersonal relationships are often accompanied by the exchange of interests.

Once there is a conflict of interest, even friends of more than ten years may part ways on bad terms.

But Ma Zifan was different.

This guy doesn't seem to care much about benefits; even when Lin Shen asked him for help many times, he didn't complain.

The two get along like childhood friends who have played together since they were little; they can joke around with each other and also care about each other.

This surprised Lin Shen quite a bit, astonished that he could still make such good friends after becoming wealthy.

"I'm doing really well lately."

Ma Zifan said leisurely.

"I went to Beijing during the National Day holiday to meet some of my mother's relatives who were having a meeting."

"Why did you suddenly decide to call me? Have you run into some trouble again?"

"I can't keep bothering you when I encounter trouble."

Lin Shen chuckled, while Ma Zifan seemed indifferent.

"Isn't it normal for friends to help each other? Besides, you bought a Ferrari LaFerrari from me! That's a huge favor for me, the president of the Ferrari owners' club. It's only right that I help you out, isn't it?"

"By the way, do you still have any plans to buy a car? I've got another great one here."

Upon hearing Ma Zifan's mysterious laughter, Lin Shen's eyes lit up, and his curiosity was suddenly piqued.

"What car?"

Rolls-Royce.

Ma Zifan chuckled.

"And it's a Coachbuilt exclusive custom series, with only 8 units produced worldwide!"

"Oh?"

Although Lin Shen didn't know much about Rolls-Royce, he wasn't quite sure what the Coachbuilt exclusive customization series meant.

But judging from Ma Zifan's excited tone, this vehicle must be a large truck.

Moreover, the prefix "limited to 8 units worldwide" is quite clear!
This car is just as rare as the Ferrari LaFerrari, and perhaps even rarer.

"That sounds pretty good."

Lin Shen said half-jokingly.

"Are you so sure I can afford this kind of car?"

"Old Lin, you're too modest. Do you think I don't know your abilities?"

Ma Zifan joked.

"You're the kind of ruthless guy who dares to give his girlfriend a LaFerrari to drive. The two cars are about the same price, and you still can't afford one?"

"My company has been spending a lot lately."

Lin Shen finally found a friend with whom he could vent his frustrations.

“Every department needs money, and I’ve spent quite a bit of it.”

"Don't try to play the poor card with me."

Ma Zifan said with a smile.

"If you were short of money, you would have told me already. Since you're complaining like this, how about I invest some money in you? Is 100 million enough?"

"No need, no need."

Lin Shen refused outright, which left Ma Zifan quite resentful.

"You're not planning to share any of the profits with me? We're friends, after all. I think so highly of you, won't you let me invest in your future?"

“Shen Nan isn’t just here with me, but also with my girlfriend.”

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

At that moment, Xu Lei walked into the office carrying a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

Seeing Lin Shen on the phone, she obediently placed the coffee on the table and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Lin Shen waved to her and smiled, gesturing with his eyes, but he didn't stop talking to Ma Zifan.

"If you really want to invest, my second business can give you a piece of the pie."

Xu Lei came up behind Lin Shen and massaged his shoulders as he requested.

As the soft hands provided a perfectly balanced massage, Lin Shen squinted comfortably, silently praising them in his heart.

He might not be familiar with Xu Lei's other abilities, but her massage techniques have made a whole new level of progress!

This person clearly studied the relevant knowledge recently.

Lin Shen gave Xu Lei a thumbs up, and then heard Ma Zifan's surprised voice from the other end of the phone.

"You're going to start a business?"

In Ma Zifan's view, Shennan, founded by Lin Shen, is already considered very successful.

Not only can they enter the market and grab a share of the pie in just a few months, but they also have great potential to become one of the leading pet industry leaders in China.

This is why Ma Zifan was so eager to invest in Lin Shen.

He had a premonition that this investment might yield a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold, return in the future!

However, Lin Shen has always controlled Shennan's cash flow and seems unwilling to let others interfere in the company's affairs.

Of course, Ma Zifan could understand. After all, this was the culmination of his and his girlfriend's hard work, and it was definitely safer for him to hold the reins himself than for the so-called board of directors to arrange things.

But he really didn't expect that Lin Shen would have the energy to start a second business! Ma Zifan asked curiously.

"Do you really have that much time? If you open another business, you simply won't have enough energy for it, will you?"

"It's alright."

Lin Shen smiled.

When Xu Lei walked to his side, he subconsciously put his arm around the female secretary's waist while he was on the phone.

Today, she was dressed in the same classic office lady uniform as usual.

However, she already had a good figure, and recently she did a lot of research on makeup, making her makeup not only suitable for the profession of secretary, but also highlighting her feminine charm.

Moreover, she was originally a campus beauty, so she might not stand out in front of beauties like Qin Yuennan.

But her appearance is also one in a hundred.

As for her figure, there's no need to elaborate.

When Lin Shen was choosing a secretary, he was attracted to Xu Lei's figure.

His hand moved upwards from the sexy female secretary's black-stockinged legs, then lingered on her shapely buttocks, which were encased in a bodycon skirt, for a detailed examination.

Of course, Lin Shen didn't feel anything special about his actions of taking advantage of others.

According to relevant surveys, when people are on the phone, their attention is entirely focused on the phone, and they rarely go back to do anything else.

Someone even did an experiment: if you hand something to someone who is on the phone, they will go back to take it.

Lin Shen is in this state right now.

He didn't actually intend to take advantage of Xu Lei; she just happened to be near him when Lin Shen was on the phone.

Feeling that warm, large hand frequently roaming over her waist, hips, and thighs, Xu Lei's face flushed slightly.

She peeked at the office door, feeling extremely annoyed that she hadn't locked it when she came in.

That way, they wouldn't have to worry about someone suddenly barging in and seeing them being intimate.

Xu Lei pursed her lips, silently leaned closer to Lin Shen's side, and continued to massage him as if she knew nothing.

In reality, it was to make it easier for her handsome boss to touch her lower body.

After noticing the sexy female secretary's subtle movements, Lin Shen raised an eyebrow. He then chatted with Ma Zifan with a light laugh while flirting with Xu Lei.

"I just have a lot of energy."

"But you can't put all your energy into work."

Ma Zifan was speaking about profound principles in a very serious manner.

"I believe that no matter how much money you earn, it's all for your own feelings and experiences. So when you've earned enough money, you should enjoy life to the fullest!"

"So, when are you free to come and take a look at my cars? I guarantee you'll be amazed."

"How about now?"

Lin Shen asked with a light laugh, which left Ma Zifan somewhat bewildered.

"Now? Didn't you just come back to the company after your vacation? Aren't you going to take care of company matters?"

"Actually, I think what you said makes a lot of sense."

Lin Shen chuckled as he felt the delicate touch of Xu Lei's black-stockinged legs.

"It's time to take a break. My girlfriend takes care of the company's affairs; I'm only responsible for providing the funds. After all, she's much more professional than me."

Where are you now? I'm coming to find you.

"Tan Palace".

Ma Zifan said leisurely.

"Number 007 is my home, come on in."

"it is good."

Lin Shen smiled slightly and hung up the phone. Xu Lei, who was standing next to him, couldn't hold back any longer and leaned into his arms, sitting sideways on his lap.

She wrapped her arms around Lin Shen's neck, her beautiful eyes filled with affection, practically screaming "I want to be intimate with you, Mr. Lin" on her face.

Unfortunately, Lin Shen has other things to do right now.

"I'll pamper you properly next time."

Lin Shen chuckled and patted Xu Lei's shapely buttocks, which made her stand up with a resentful look on her face, straighten her bodycon skirt, and ask softly.

"Mr. Lin, are you going out?"

"Correct."

Lin Shen handed the car keys to Xu Lei.

“Drive to Dan Palace.”

Dan Palace!?

Xu Lei's eyelids twitched violently.

Having worked in Shanghai for so long, she was very familiar with the name Tan Gong.

As one of the most famous and long-established luxury villa districts in Shanghai, Tan Palace not only boasts a luxurious interior design, but more importantly, it has existed for a very long time.

Therefore, those who can live in such places are among the most low-profile wealthy people in Shanghai, or high-ranking officials and nobles.

The Dan Palace isn't just something you can buy with money; you also need certain qualifications to join their circle.

The lowest price for a villa inside is nine figures.

It doesn't even start with 1, it starts with 2!

That's why Xu Lei was so surprised that Lin Shen knew people from the Tan Palace.

After all, you can't just get to know the people there by money; you also need connections.

Xu Lei, as his former colleague, knew very well how Lin Shen made his fortune.

She knew Lin Shen was rich, but she didn't expect him to have connections!

If that's the case, why did he previously serve as an ordinary beast of burden, working tirelessly for his family?
Even if she's pursuing President Qin, isn't this beneath her dignity?
Xu Lei was deeply moved.

She never expected that Lin Shen would do so much for Qin Yuennan.

However, this also proves from another perspective that Mr. Lin is a loyal and devoted person, not some so-called scumbag.

As for why he likes to philander, it can only be said to be the nature of men after they become rich.

Xu Lei pondered silently, then followed Lin Shen to the underground parking garage and drove to Tan Palace.

Located at No. 555 Qingxi Road in the CN District of Shanghai, west of the Xijiao Hotel, it occupies a prime location, considered one of the most luxurious state guesthouses. Its land area is among the highest in Shanghai, where land is incredibly valuable.

Despite its large size, it contains only eight detached manor houses, each occupying about four acres, making it a rare and valuable estate that is hard to come by even with money.

Its interior design was planned by WATG, a world-leading design firm.

The firm's name may be unfamiliar to many, but the projects it handles are world-renowned.

That's the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai.

It can be said to be one of the world's top architectural design firms.

Based on past architectural experience, it incorporates the styles of eight classic European buildings.

This makes each villa in Dan Palace a unique piece in the world, with no two villas having the same design.

Xu Lei, who drove here, initially thought she had driven to the outskirts of Shanghai.

Everywhere you look there is lush greenery and fresh air, it feels like being in a natural oxygen bar.

At least in terms of environment, Dan Palace lives up to its reputation.

Knowing that Lin Shen was coming, Ma Zifan waited at the door.

When the familiar Maybach slowly drove up, he went to greet it with a group of butlers and attendants.

"Oh, isn't this our General Manager Lin? It wasn't easy to invite you here."

"That's really something, I came as soon as you invited me."

Lin Shen chuckled as he got out of the car after Xu Lei helped him open the door, only to discover that the woman next to Ma Zifan had changed again.

She remains a young and beautiful top-tier beauty, someone that ordinary internet celebrities can't possibly compete with. In fact, her figure is also incredibly stunning, placing her on par with Xu Lei.

This speed at which he changed girlfriends reminded Lin Shen of a certain super-rich second-generation heir surnamed Wang.

He and Ma Zifan are quite similar, except this one is easier to get along with. (End of Chapter)
