Financial Independence through Cracked Apps

Chapter 388 - 199: Big Business

"Oh, really...?"

Lin Shen sheepishly pinched the bridge of his nose. He felt like he’d somehow gotten famous for no reason.

But if it meant building up Shennan’s reputation, he didn’t mind being in the spotlight.

"Since you all know who I am, I’m sure my reason for being here is clear as well."

"Starting today, this Meow Star will become the main branch of Shennan Pet Society. The new nameplate will be put up later."

’The main branch?’

The employees stared at each other, wide-eyed. They truly hadn’t expected Lin Shen to make this arrangement.

’Does this mean our salaries will go up too?’

Everyone looked at Lin Shen excitedly, and he didn’t disappoint.

"Salaries will increase by 20%, and the benefits will be better, too. I’ll also be signing an employment contract with each of you. If anyone is unwilling to sign, you can tender your resignation now."

’Signing employment contracts?’

When the rumor turned out to be true, the employees were stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic.

An employment contract wasn’t just about job security; it was a sign of recognition for their work!

"I’ll stay!"

Almost all the employees raised their hands, indicating their desire to stay. Not a single person chose to leave.

Lin Shen had expected this. After signaling for them to lower their hands, his expression turned serious as he emphasized his next point.

"For the remainder of this month, I’ll be evaluating everyone’s work performance and service quality."

"Those who don’t pass the evaluation can leave after finishing out the month. Those who pass will stay and sign contracts starting next month. Is that clear?"

"Yes."

Seeing their eager and positive attitudes, Lin Shen broke into a smile again. He glanced at Ren Xu, who was standing to the side, and teased him.

"Are you still willing to take over this shop? I can make you the manager."

"I’ll pass."

Ren Xu shook his head with a wry smile.

"I want to take a break. I’ve been so exhausted lately I’m getting sick. If I don’t rest soon, I’m afraid my body is going to give out."

"Alright, then."

Seeing that Ren Xu had no intention of staying, Lin Shen thought for a moment before announcing,

"I’ll have a new manager come in tomorrow. Just follow her instructions."

"Okay."

After dealing with a few more trivial matters in the shop, Lin Shen and Shen Yun got up to leave.

"Shen, you’re very ambitious."

Shen Yun said teasingly, linking her arm with Lin Shen’s.

"Acquiring a shop in such a bustling area... I bet you’re planning to use it for advertising, aren’t you?"

"Something like that."

Lin Shen smiled as he explained his plans for the future.

"Once the Shennan brand has really made a name for itself, I’ll turn this shop into a flagship store. Franchisees from all over the country can come visit it, which will help bolster the company’s image in the early stages."

"I knew it."

It seemed Shen Yun was on the same wavelength as Lin Shen. Her admiration for him grew even stronger, evolving into ardent affection.

The more she looked at her young boyfriend, the more handsome she found him. She leaned against his shoulder, her words filled with tempting hints.

"Now that business is done, do you have anything else to do?"

"Of course I do."

!?

She pursed her full lips, her alluring, doe-like eyes gazing at Lin Shen, watery with anticipation. Her tone was impatient.

"Then let’s go, quickly."

"No rush."

Lin Shen had mastered the art of playing hard to get. After fully stoking the fires of Shen Yun’s passion, he immediately poured cold water on them.

"Let’s get something to eat first. We need to fill our stomachs so we have energy for the main event tonight."

"Shen~"

Shen Yun dragged out his name in a dissatisfied whine, clinging tightly to Lin Shen’s arm and pouting like a young girl.

"Just keep teasing your ’Auntie’! You’re going to play me to death one of these days!"

Lin Shen’s stop-and-go teasing was driving the beautiful, mature woman crazy. An unbearable itch grew in her heart, and she wished she could drag him off to a private place right then and there.

But this was exactly the effect Lin Shen was aiming for.

Only by fully awakening Shen Yun’s inner desires would he get to see her at her most enchanting and alluring later that night.

By then, whatever Lin Shen asked of her, she would likely obey without question—and perhaps even take the initiative to serve him!
