Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

As Jiang Wan spoke, her beautiful eyes blinked slightly, her hands were behind her back, and she leaned forward, her expression quite playful, as if she were expressing her needs in a half-joking manner.

However, only Lin Shen could read the unique infatuation and love that belonged only to him deep in her eyes.

He could sense that Jiang Wan's affection for him was no less than that for any other girl around her.

Clearly, the time spent together during the recent photoshoot had won her heart.

The period of separation did not cool their feelings for each other; on the contrary, it created the effect of "absence makes the heart grow fonder."

Are you sure you want to kiss in the car?

Lin Shen raised an eyebrow, a half-smile curving his lips, which startled Jiang Wan, making her expression slightly resentful.

"What? You don't want to?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's that I'm afraid you'll mind."

Lin Shen smiled and took Jiang Wan's hand, walking towards the parking lot.

Because the parking lots on campus are not enclosed, or even semi-enclosed.

The parking spaces are placed next to the teaching building or the cafeteria, and students and teachers pass by in an endless stream.

Jiang Wan originally thought that Lin Shen's Jaguar XFL was very ordinary and wouldn't attract much attention.

Even if someone passes by, they won't actively approach to check if anyone is inside the car.

But Jiang Wan really didn't expect that Lin Shen would change his car!

Moreover, it has been replaced with an extremely eye-catching Maybach S680!

That iconic black and white two-tone color scheme would even catch the eye of a passing senior student—this car model had never appeared on the Shanghai International Studies University campus before!
"You changed your car?"

Seeing many students gathered around the Maybach S680, and even taking photos with their phones, Jiang Wan began to have second thoughts.

She wasn't shameless enough to do something intimate with Lin Shen in the car under everyone's gaze.

If they find out, being fired is the least of their worries!
"Why don't you come up and sit for a while?"

Lin Shen chuckled and joked, then pressed the car key from his pocket.

In an instant, the headlights of the Maybach S680 flashed twice, startling the students watching who turned around to look at them with surprise.

After discovering that Lin Shen, the car owner, was nearby, they immediately pulled their companions away.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Wan confirmed that the Maybach S680 belonged to Lin Shen and quickly waved her hand.

"Never mind, I'll just take you for a walk around the campus instead."

"Looks like you're shy too, senior."

Lin Shen teased, then squeezed Jiang Wan's soft hand and released it, soothing her disappointed mood.

"Senior, there's plenty of time tonight, no rush."

"Of course I do."

Jiang Wan tried to take Lin Shen's arm, but he dodged her and reminded her.

"Senior, you're a big star at Shanghai International Studies University now. All the students know you. I only got in by pretending to be a student."

The implication is: "I don't want rumors about you circulating at school to affect your work."

Jiang Wan was very clever and immediately guessed Lin Shen's intention, which made her feel enveloped in a strong sense of warmth.

"Actually, I don't care about these things."

Jiang Wan smiled and said that although she couldn't have physical contact with Lin Shen, she started to get very close to him, standing shoulder to shoulder.

"At worst, I'll just quit my job. Anyway, you've helped me build up my Douyin account, and the money I'm making is enough for me to live on."

"What if the account disappears without a trace?"

Lin Shen said with some concern.

“I’m worried that the short film we’re going to make next won’t be a hit, which will cause a drop in your income.”

"Then I have no complaints."

Jiang Wan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her smile gentle.

"I can't keep relying on you for help, can I? I also have to work hard and strive for my future."

"As for the future... actually, besides filming, there is another path I can take."

Lin Shen took out the idea he had discussed a long time ago and repeated it to Jiang Wan.

"It means establishing an MCN company."

"You mean Shenwan Media, which I mentioned before?"

Jiang Wan's eyes lit up. She had been interested in this when Lin Shen mentioned it before, but she was too embarrassed to say it outright.

Now that he brought it up again, Jiang Wan naturally followed the conversation.

"I don't know much about this. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"funds."

Lin Shen said in a serious tone.

"In the early stages of a company's establishment, equity distribution will definitely need to be considered. Although I can help you advance the funds, or even invest all of them myself, I'm worried that when you manage the company in the future, other senior executives might have opinions about you, leading to unnecessary disputes, so..."

"You've thought this far ahead."

Jiang Wan sighed. Being intelligent, she understood Lin Shen's meaning and trusted him completely, so she asked without hesitation.

"How much do you need me to contribute?"

"How much can you take, senior?"

"I have about 200,000 yuan in my own account. If I borrow some more from my parents and relatives, I can get about 400,000 yuan."

"Two hundred thousand is enough!"

Upon hearing that Jiang Wan wanted to lend him money, Lin Shen felt a warmth in his heart and quickly agreed.

"If I add another 300,000, the company's registered capital of 500,000 will be enough. The equity will be split 60/40, with me taking the majority. Is that okay?"

"of course can."

Jiang Wan said with a smile.

"I have no objection even if you take it all, since I don't know how to manage the company, and you'll have to make the decisions in the end."

"It's okay, you'll learn as you go. Nobody is born knowing anything."

Lin Shen smiled and extended his right hand.

"I'll handle things when the company is just starting out, and later I'll hand it over to you, senior, how about that?"

"Thanks for your trust."

Jiang Wan and Lin Shen shook hands amicably, as if they were cooperating in business, a gentle smile curving her lips.

"Then I'll leave it to you, partner."

"Between the two of us, why are we talking about trouble or not?"

After reaching a preliminary consensus with Jiang Wan, Lin Shen's second company began to take shape.

Shenwan Media focuses on online sales, while Shennan Pet focuses on physical retail.

The two complement each other, and if they can gain momentum, it will be much easier to expand into other industries.

Afterwards, led by Jiang Wan, Lin Shen wandered aimlessly around the campus, fully experiencing the university environment that he hadn't felt in a long time.

The setting sun cast a blood-red glow at dusk, and the lake surface rippled gently.

It was Friday afternoon, and the students were full of anticipation for the upcoming weekend after school.

The students walked towards the school gate in groups of three or five, abandoning the cafeteria they had eaten in for five days, and went out to find food.

This reminded Lin Shen of his university days.

Every Friday night, Qi Junxian would invite everyone out to a restaurant, either for hot pot or skewers, and then have a case of ice-cold beer – it couldn't be more enjoyable.

I wonder how they are doing now?
Lin Shen suddenly felt nostalgic for his university life, especially after seeing this group of vibrant students, his nostalgia reached its peak.

I strolled from the teaching building to the playground, and from the cafeteria to the dormitory.

Along the way, you can see all kinds of students, with bright smiles on their faces.

This is an expression of unadulterated innocence and beauty, untouched by the harsh realities of society.

People often say that college is like a summer vacation in life, and now that I think about it, it really is true.

It's a kind of bourgeois lifestyle full of illusion, where one doesn't participate in production but still has money to spend given by their parents.

In addition, its prime location in Shanghai allows residents to enjoy the vibrancy and excitement of a big city with minimal cost of living.

Moreover, due to their student status, they don't have to face a series of issues such as marriage, family, and survival and development. Some even enjoy the respect and admiration of those around them because of the "prestigious school" title. However, after graduation, everyone will return to their respective social classes.

Only then do you realize how difficult life really is.

It turns out that being able to spend 2,000 yuan a month on eating, drinking, and having fun is such a luxury.

It turns out that the so-called prestigious university title was just a stepping stone to getting a job.

It turns out that my parents have long reached the age where they need to be cared for in their old age, and I have also reached the age where I need to consider getting married and having children.

It turns out that living with dignity is such a difficult thing...

"well--!"

Lin Shen sighed deeply, feeling utterly melancholy.

If it weren't for the system, I'd probably be barely surviving right now, let alone walking with the most popular campus belle-like counselor in the whole school.

Hello, Teacher Jiang!

"Director Jiang! When are you going to update the video? We're urging you to update it offline!"

"almost."

Jiang Wan greeted each student with a smile, her attitude extremely gentle.

Seeing that so many people recognized her, Lin Shen couldn't help but tease her.

"Senior, you're so famous at Shanghai International Studies University, don't you have a lot of suitors?"

"It's quite a lot."

Jiang Wan rubbed her temples, looking troubled.

“Every day I get flowers and gifts from students, teachers, and even people from other schools. It’s so annoying.”

"So you didn't accept them all, did you?"

Seeing Lin Shen's curious look, Jiang Wan covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Of course I returned all the gifts. The reason is simple: I have a boyfriend now."

"Now that you say that, there are far fewer people sending flowers."

?

Jiang Wan's words startled Lin Shen, who then took her hand and said helplessly.

"Senior, you should have said so earlier!"

Lin Shen originally didn't want to have any physical contact with Jiang Wan because he was afraid that bad rumors about her would circulate on campus and affect her job as a counselor.

Now that she has publicly announced that she has a boyfriend, Lin Shen naturally doesn't need to be so reserved anymore.

"Huh? Didn't I say that? Maybe I forgot."

Jiang Wan stuck out her tongue sheepishly, her mischievous side erupting once again, clearly indicating that she was deliberately avoiding mentioning the matter.

Seeing this, Lin Shen took the initiative to put his arm around her soft waist. This intimate gesture made her feel embarrassed, and she quickly smiled and dodged away.

"Junior Lin Shen, holding hands is fine, but putting your arm around my waist feels a little shy."

"So you can be shy too, senior."

Lin Shen teased.

"I thought you were the kind of gentle older sister who could tolerate any of my behavior."

"Is not it?"

Jiang Wan smiled and asked in return, her beautiful eyes blinking slightly.

"I've been very tolerant of you."

"..."

Jiang Wan's suggestive words startled Lin Shen, who silently muttered to himself.

Could it be that senior already knows about Nan's existence?
It’s really possible!
Shennan Pet Club has been so popular on Douyin lately, I'm sure you've seen it.

The clever girl would most likely have made the connection that the character "楠" represents a girl.

With "Shennan Media" as a comparison, the composition of "Shenwan Pet Club" is also quite clear.

"that……"

Lin Shen felt it was time to be honest. He coughed a few times and was about to say something when Jiang Wan suddenly pointed her index finger at his mouth.

"Let's not talk about that yet. You must be very busy with work right now, right? After all, Shennan Pet Club has just opened, and everything is getting on track."

"You should focus on your career now, not your relationship. Once you've settled down, I'll listen to your advice properly."

"Senior sister..."

Jiang Wan's thoughtfulness deeply moved Lin. If they weren't on campus, he probably would have hugged her right away.

This is what a truly virtuous and capable wife is like!

"Don't rush to feel sentimental. Let me make it clear first, I'm not someone who's easily fooled."

Jiang Wan's upturned lips inspired Lin Shen to smile knowingly as well, and then she said mysteriously.

"How about... I give you a big gift, senior?"

"What kind of gift?"

Seeing Jiang Wan's curious look, Lin Shen kept her in suspense.

"Let's talk about it later."

"Then I'll have to look forward to it."

Jiang Wan took Lin Shen's arm, and this time he didn't refuse.

The two strolled from the playground to the commercial street outside the student apartments, intending to find a place to have dinner.

I met many students along the way, including those from other schools.

Everyone cast surprised glances at Jiang Wan and Lin Shen, their eyes filled with astonishment.

After all, this combination is quite rare.

Jiang Wan usually goes out alone, but today she came out with a boy?

She even linked arms with the boy!
The nature of their relationship is obvious!

Groups of girls passing by whispered among themselves, as if they had stumbled upon some earth-shattering gossip.

As for the boys, their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.

good boy!
He actually managed to win Jiang Wan's heart?
How come he can play such big games?
Although they were very unhappy, most boys still felt ashamed of themselves compared to Lin Shen's handsome and refined appearance.

After all, they were very self-aware and knew very well that a stunning beauty like Jiang Wan was usually only a tall, rich, and handsome man could match her.

Thinking about it this way, the boys around them felt much better.

At least I didn't get picked up by an ordinary person, otherwise I would have really gone crazy!
"Boss, two servings of beef and potato rice bowls, please."

After ordering, Jiang Wan pulled Lin Shen to a quiet corner to sit down and introduced the food to him with a smile.

"The rice bowls at this restaurant are delicious, especially the beef and potato brisket. The potatoes are cooked until very soft, almost like curry. The flavor is excellent. You should try it later."

"it is good."

Lin Shen was filled with anticipation, recalling the Sichuan hot pot he often ate during his university days.

If something is delicious, I'll stick to one restaurant and keep ordering from it until it goes out of business.

"By the way, how's Qingqing doing lately?"

"not good."

not good?

Lin Shen was startled and quickly pressed for an answer.

"What's wrong? Did the military training wear you down?"

"It's not because of that; she's quite persistent."

Jiang Wan sighed softly.

"It's a relationship problem. Too many people are pursuing her, which is affecting her daily studies and life."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shen was speechless. Only after seeing Jiang Wan's smug smile of triumph did he realize that he had been tricked by her again.

It's so popular, and you call that bad? (End of Chapter)
