Chapter 55: Is One Million Enough?
“What do you mean my suggestion isn’t bad? You definitely made a move!”
Xu Lu looked extremely excited.
“In the photo, you even let Lin Shen rest his head on your chest! That’s way too intimate!”
“He was just tired, so I lent him my shoulder to rest on. Who knew he’d suddenly slide down.”
Jiang Wan explained quietly, but Xu Lu obviously didn’t believe her.
“You’re pulling my leg. You wouldn’t let him do that if you didn’t allow it. You clearly gave him permission!”
“…”
This left Jiang Wan speechless because Xu Lu was indeed right, so she decided to make a direct escape and avoid this topic.
“I’m going to take a shower first.”
“Don’t try to run!”
Xu Lu firmly grabbed Jiang Wan’s arm to prevent her escape, determined to get to the bottom of this.
“How old is he? Where does he work? What’s his personality like? How’s his family situation?”
“You’re acting like you’re conducting a census. Why don’t I just introduce Lin Shen to you?”
“Forget it. Even though my baby acts like a jerk every day, I still quite like him.”
Xu Lu decisively refused, then said with disappointment.
“Wanwan, I’m thinking about your lifelong happiness! With so many people pursuing you, how have you managed to stay single for twenty-six years?”
“Maybe I have high standards.”
Jiang Wan patted Xu Lu’s hand and smiled softly.
“Don’t worry, if there’s someone suitable, I’ll definitely date them.”
“So what about this Lin Shen you mentioned?”
“…”
Faced with Xu Lu’s inquiry, Jiang Wan smiled without answering and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Splash—!
Jiang Wan closed her eyes and tilted her head back, letting the warm water flow over every part of her body.
Then she lowered her head and quietly glanced at her own full, perky chest, her thoughts slightly wavering.
After coming out, Jiang Wan dried her wet hair hanging in front of her chest while sending the photo she had shown Xu Lu to Lin Shen.
[Jiang Wan: Photo.jpg]
[Jiang Wan: Whose little baby is sleeping so soundly?]
?
Lin Shen, who had just returned home and picked up his phone, felt like the sky was falling.
He hurriedly typed a reply.
[Lin Shen: Sorry, I fell asleep. I’ll definitely be more careful next time]
[Jiang Wan: So you’re already thinking about next time? (dazed emoji)]
[Lin Shen: Yes, because Senior Jiang Wan smells really nice, and your pillow is very soft too.]
When dealing with Jiang Wan, who was skilled at teasing and pranking people, the best response was a direct attack.
So Lin Shen spoke frankly, which made Jiang Wan’s pretty face flush red as she muttered quietly.
“Little pervert.”
[Jiang Wan: Bonk on the head.jpg]
[Jiang Wan: If you take advantage of your senior again next time, this will be your fate.]
[Lin Shen: I wouldn’t dare anymore]
Seeing the emoji Jiang Wan sent, Lin Shen smiled knowingly, put his phone on the table, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After coming out, he immediately ordered the camera and various components that Sun Wenhao had recommended from JD.com, his heart beginning to anticipate the next photo shoot outing with Jiang Wan.
Maybe their relationship would progress further then?
August 10, 2025, Sunday.
24°C～31°C, cloudy.
「China Construction Bank: Your account ending in 7946 received RMB 10,000 on August 10 at 00:01. Current balance: 420,000」
Lin Shen glanced at his phone, confirmed the money had arrived, then rolled over to continue his morning sleep.
Yesterday’s full day of activities had left him physically and mentally exhausted, so he needed good rest to replenish his energy.
After all, he still had to attend a roommate gathering dinner tonight.
Jiayu Pavilion, Building 5, Room 1602.
Eight o’clock in the morning.
Ding ding ding—!
—Ding ding ding!
The iPhone’s distinctive alarm sound rang out like a death knell.
On the master bedroom’s large bed, a slender pale hand suddenly emerged from under the covers, groping around but failing to find what it was looking for.
Then the covers revealed a gap, finally grabbing the phone and silencing the alarm.
“…”
After half a minute, the covers were pulled back, revealing Qin Yuenan with messy hair holding her phone up close, squinting sleepily but still opening WeChat to check.
[Lin Shen: Sister Nan, I’m going out today to handle some business, so I might not be able to reply to messages promptly. If you need to find me for anything, remember to call.]
[Qin Yuenan: Mm.]
“Not a single message all day.”
Qin Yuenan muttered, got up and stretched, then padded to the closet in her slippers to change into yoga pants and a small tank top.
She walked into the living room, pulled out the yoga mat rolled up in the corner and spread it out, put on her headphones and turned on the TV to start today’s yoga session.
Mountain pose, downward dog, triangle pose, tree pose…
After several classic yoga positions, Qin Yuenan’s graceful figure was fully stretched.
She took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, feeling the fatigue throughout her body gradually recede.
“Whew—!”
An hour later, Qin Yuenan sat on the yoga mat resting while opening her phone.
WeChat had received messages intermittently, but most were work-related.
Qin Yuenan felt somewhat disappointed because her chat history with Lin Shen was still stuck on yesterday.
She typed “good morning” with her thumb, but then deleted it, irritably running her fingers through her hair before getting up to shower in the bathroom.
Splash—!
Twenty minutes later, Qin Yuenan came out wrapped in a bathrobe and began her skincare routine.
Toner, face cream, and lotion to moisturize her facial skin, then applied a face mask.
After finishing these steps, she went to the kitchen to make herself a simple healthy breakfast.
Whole wheat bread + fried egg + hot milk.
While eating, Qin Yuenan took out her phone, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
[Lin Shen: Good morning, Sister Nan. I have a business plan for a “Healthy Pet Lifestyle Store” here. Could you help me look at it and see if there’s anything that could be improved?]
Healthy Pet Lifestyle Store?
Qin Yuenan looked stunned, then her lips twitched slightly.
Is he my assistant, or am I his assistant?
“Sigh—!”
Qin Yuenan sighed softly, then walked into the study and opened her laptop, roughly browsing through the 43-page business plan Lin Shen had sent.
Gradually, her initially indifferent gaze filled with intense surprise, then became dumbfounded.
Her expression also changed from initially casual and relaxed to focused and serious.
Half an hour flew by.
When she saw the words “To be continued” at the end of the business plan, Qin Yuenan immediately asked Lin Shen.
[Qin Yuenan: Did you write this yourself?]
[Lin Shen: Yes, are there any errors? I’ll fix them]
[Qin Yuenan: Absolutely perfect]
Qin Yuenan rarely used these four words to describe anything, given her usual style of being rigorous and serious.
But Lin Shen’s “business plan” was almost flawless.
Clear organization, meticulous logic.
Even the initial costs and subsequent rough investment amounts were calculated!
This guy is a natural-born boss!
If Qin Yuenan’s appreciation for Lin Shen’s talent was just admiration before, now it was gradually evolving into respect.
Following his ideas… it might actually succeed!
[Qin Yuenan: Are you planning to start a business based on this plan?]
[Lin Shen: I have that plan, but I’m still missing something.]
[Qin Yuenan: Money, right? I’ll give it to you. Is one million enough?]
