Chapter 11 Peach Blossoms Come Unbidden
Back at his workstation, Lin Shen suddenly felt that the people around him had become friendlier.

The middle-aged woman who had entered menopause stopped causing trouble; the middle-aged man who was often tense also greeted her with a smile.

It was as if they had instantly learned politeness and respect.

A change in image can actually trigger such a strong positive feedback effect?
Lin Shen found it somewhat unbelievable.

The previously incredibly frustrating work day has become much easier.

Without the pressure of money, Lin Shen was able to do things with ease.

At five o'clock in the evening, after getting off work, Lin Shen went up to the third floor and went to Qin Yuennan's office, only to find that she was not there.

He then went to the gym on the fourth floor as usual.

Lin Shen looked around, but still couldn't find that familiar figure.

It's Monday today, is Qin Yuennan in a meeting?
Lin Shen felt a little empty inside, but he quickly adjusted himself, stretching his hamstrings and warming up with high knees.

Today, he plans to break his running pace into under 6 minutes per kilometer!
Once everything was ready, Lin Shen began to move his legs on the 5'50 treadmill.

At this moment, he actually felt that the burden on his body was much lower than before.

possible!
Lin Shen ran with increasing excitement, keeping his breathing rhythm in sync with the music in his headphones.

However, he was fine for the first three kilometers, but he couldn't keep going for the last two kilometers.

Helpless, Lin Shen had no choice but to adjust the pace on the treadmill to about six and a half minutes per kilometer.

To be honest, if we're just talking about running, he still prefers running outdoors.

At least you can adjust the pace at will, unlike indoors where you have to manually adjust the treadmill speed.

trouble.

Ultimately, the time for the five kilometers was fixed at 30 minutes and 20 seconds.

"So you still couldn't do it?"

After getting off the treadmill, Lin Shen felt a little regretful.

Although my pace had improved significantly compared to the first time, and even my breathing was extremely calm after the run.

However, a week's worth of running still made it difficult for him to break the 30-minute mark.

Even a 50% improvement in exercise effectiveness is not enough.

"If you're bad at cooking, you need to practice more."

Lin Shen joked to himself, wiping away sweat while sipping electrolyte water.

Just as he was about to head to the butterfly machine to work out his chest, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

At this moment, Qin Yuennan is doing barbell squats on the squat machine.

When she was standing, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but once she squatted down, the full shape of her buttocks, outlined by her gray yoga pants, drew an alluring curve resembling a heart.

Although it doesn't appear as full as those photoshopped peach-shaped buttocks online, it is extremely round and delicate.

Wonderful!

Lin Shen couldn't help but secretly admire him.

Although there are only two small barbell plates, with the bar added, it must weigh about fifty or sixty pounds.
Great!

Perhaps sensing the intense gaze behind her, Qin Yuennan glanced back at Lin Shen, her narrowed, cold eyes radiating a chill.

"Where are you looking?"

“I was worried you wouldn’t be able to handle it, so I thought I’d lend a hand.”

Lin Shen touched his nose somewhat guiltily, which inadvertently gave Qin Yuennan an opening to speak.

"Just right."

After saying that, Qin Yuennan went to the bench press machine, lay down on it, and gestured to Lin Shen.

"Keep an eye on things for me."

"it is good."

At this moment, Qin Yuennan suddenly spoke.

"After assessment, the proposal to expand the pet food market to lower-tier cities was rejected."

"why?"

Lin Shen found it somewhat strange.

“There aren’t many pet brands entering the lower-tier market yet, which is a great opportunity to seize the market.”

"Because market research has found that most people who can afford to keep pets now are middle-class families, and they care more about the quality of food than the price."

After Qin Yuening did a few reps of the barbell, Lin Shen helped her put it back in place, and then she wiped her sweat with a towel hanging nearby. "It's like raising a child; would you want to give him cheap formula?"

"Why not?"

Lin Shen muttered to himself.

Only the strong are worthy to be my children.

"Anyway, the marketing strategy of high consumption and low profit is not suitable for the pet industry, but your suggestion is still very useful."

Qin Yuennan hesitated for a long time, but finally mentioned it casually, pretending not to care.

"You haven't had dinner yet, have you? My treat."

"No."

Lin Shen touched his belly and smiled.

"We can't let ourselves get too indulged, or all our efforts will be in vain."

"You're quite persistent."

Qin Yuennan seemed surprised to be rejected by Lin Shen, and hurriedly avoided his gaze and changed the subject.

"I have a yoga class, I'm leaving now."

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Shen hurriedly called out to Qin Yuenan, then took out a neatly folded A4 sheet of paper from his pocket and handed it to her.

"This is my resignation letter. You weren't in the office when I went there just now."

"I'm going to a meeting."

Qin Yuennan glanced casually at the contents of the paper, and after confirming that everything was correct, she said softly.

"When the time comes, you can hand over your work to Xiao Xu, and I'll have the finance department print out your payslip in advance."

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Qin."

Watching Qin Yuennan leave, Lin Shen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

I finally mustered the courage to take this step!

Resign, and embrace a bright future!

「建设银行：您尾号7946的账户于07月31日00:01收入RMB1700元，当前余额：89，000」

Lin Shen's workload today is almost equivalent to his workload for a whole week.

Although there aren't many, they are tedious.

The first step was to categorize and organize the work materials and then hand them over to Xu Lei.

"Pay attention here, don't confuse it with your own."

"it is good."

Xu Lei nodded in agreement, but secretly she had already glanced at Lin Shen's profile several times.

At the urging of her good friend, she originally planned to ask Lin Shen for his WeChat on Friday.

Who knew he'd resign today!

This surprised Xu Lei, and also made her feel inexplicably sad.

Incidentally, it solidified my previously undecided idea.

"that!"

Just as Lin Shen was explaining his job duties in detail, Xu Lei suddenly turned around and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Shen, can I add you on WeChat? I can ask you questions if I don't understand something."

"Okay, my number is in the group."

"I meant my personal WeChat account, not my work account."

Personal WeChat?

Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Xu Lei constantly flipping her hair, he instantly understood everything.

This girl has ulterior motives!
"Row."

Lin Shen smiled slightly, his heart filled with countless emotions.

Sure enough, after changing and improving myself, I was naturally attracted to romantic partners.
