Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Lin Shen smiled as he watched the two women chat, and Jiang Wan noticed where his gaze was lingering.

As expected, he was very interested in Su Youji!
Especially her breasts!

Jiang Wan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, while Su Youji seemed oblivious to the awkward atmosphere and remained curious about Jiang Wan's second short film.

What theme are you planning to shoot this time?

"Secret."

Lin Shen gestured for silence and chuckled softly.

"This is a trade secret."

"I'm sorry! I was rude."

Upon hearing this, Su Youji quickly bowed and apologized. His overly polite and courteous manner prevented Jiang Wan from feeling any dislike for him.

Who would dislike such a cute and sensible little girl?
"Are you here to take pictures?"

"Correct."

"Why did you decide to film an archery-themed movie?"

Lin Shen was somewhat puzzled.

"I remember you always doing various anime cosplays, right?"

"Because I like archery, I thought I'd take a set of more everyday photos."

Su Youji smiled slightly, her expression carrying a hint of smugness.

"During my high school years, I was the captain of the archery club in Japan, and I even led the team to participate in the national competition."

"So you're Japanese?"

Jiang Wan looked on in surprise.

No wonder Su Youji's accent sounded a bit off; it turns out she's not Chinese.
"I am of mixed race."

Su Youji suddenly realized that she hadn't formally introduced herself to Jiang Wan yet, so she quickly said...

“My Chinese name is Su Youji, and my Japanese name is Tsuruto Yuki. My father is Chinese and my mother is Japanese.”

"So that's it..."

This is simply a natural-born god of the two-dimensional world!

Jiang Wan sighed inwardly. Just then, a call came from not far away.

"Yuki! Have you rested enough? Shall we take another set of photos?"

"right away!"

Su Youji bowed and took her leave, returning to her archery position to continue filming.

After she left, Jiang Wan finally found an opportunity to settle accounts with Lin Shen.

"You seem quite interested in Su Youji?"

Jiang Wan clung tightly to Lin Shen's arm, her narrowed eyes revealing a dangerous glint, and a half-smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"Don't you think she has big breasts?"

"It's really big."

Lin Shen's honesty aroused Jiang Wan's dissatisfaction and jealousy, and she reached out and gently pinched the soft flesh on his waist and abdomen.

hiss--!
Lin Shen gasped, stood up straight, and quickly tried to make amends by putting his arm around Jiang Wan's slender waist, comforting her with a smile.

"But it's definitely not as big as yours, senior."

"What? You touched her?"

"Judging by sight!"

Seeing Jiang Wan's increasingly sharp gaze, Lin Shen revealed the truth: he was "interested" in Su Youji.

"Don't you think she's a promising candidate to be recruited?"

"To win over?"

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, but the clever girl quickly realized what was happening, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.

"You want her to become an artist under our Shenwan Media?"

"correct."

Lin Shen gazed at Su Youji not far away, his eyes devoid of any romantic feelings, only filled with appreciation and admiration for an unborn gem.

"Supporting the account entirely on his own, and without the support of an MCN company, he managed to gain over four million followers. This is practically a natural talent for becoming an internet celebrity!"

"I wonder how many people are eyeing her as a lucrative opportunity. With just simple marketing, she could make a fortune."

"really."

Jiang Wan nodded in agreement, then changed the subject.

"But there must be a reason why she hasn't been signed by any media company yet, right? Do you think you can?"

"Just give it a try."

The birds in the deep forest are eager to try.

"Anyway, we won't lose anything if we don't sign. Let's go, senior, let's go archery first, and we can discuss this later."

"it is good."

Led by Sun Changzheng, Jiang Wan and Lin Shen arrived at their respective positions, put on their equipment and protective gear, and were then assigned a modified traditional wooden bow and a quiver filled with countless arrows.

"Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing to the side, shift your weight down, and insert the arrow nock into the bowstring groove. Place the arrow shaft on the arrow rest. When gripping the bow, it should feel like you're pushing, not grabbing..."

Under the coach's guidance, Jiang Wan managed to draw the bow.

However, because her ample bosom was too large, it couldn't fit snugly against her chest and could only be slightly pulled forward with some gaps.

Otherwise, you could easily get injured when the bowstring snaps back.

However, this resulted in an inability to aim properly. In the end, when Jiang Wan shot the arrow, the deviation was too great, and she didn't even hit the target.

well--!
Jiang Wan sighed with some regret, but then she heard a "whoosh" as Lin Shen's arrow shot out quickly and hit the 7th ring.

Bang bang bang——!
After the fully armed staff pulled the arrows from the target pile, Sun Changzheng immediately clapped, providing maximum emotional value.

"Impressive, Mr. Lin! Looks like you practice archery often?"

"the first time."

what?
first?!

Sun Changzheng was somewhat surprised.

For beginners, it's a success if they can even get the arrow out of the air, let alone hit the target.

As a result, Lin Shen hit the target on his first shot, and even got a seven-ring mark?
"You have a great talent for archery! It seems that if you practice diligently, you might be able to catch up with some professional athletes."

Sun Changzheng spared no praise, making Lin Shen feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Just luck."

"Then teach me how to have good luck."

Jiang Wan fiddled with the bow in her hand.

"I feel like I can draw the bow, but I just can't aim properly, and my hands are shaking a bit."

"Perhaps because your strength hasn't kept up."

Lin Shen's ability to hit the 7-ring on his first shot was undoubtedly due to his exceptional physical abilities.

When drawing the bow, the hand doesn't shake, the center of gravity is stable, and with good eyesight, the aim is accurate.

Therefore, you can only hit the 7th ring directly on the first try.

But as a girl and a novice, Jiang Wan naturally couldn't do it perfectly.

However, she gritted her teeth and tried many times before finally mastering the skill and successfully shot the arrow into the target.

Although it was only the Third Ring Road, it was enough to make Jiang Wan happy for a while.

However, Lin Shen, who was standing to the side, hit the bullseye on his fourth shot!

boom--!
Ten rings!

"Amazing!"

Jiang Wan covered her mouth with one hand in surprise, her eyes filled with admiration for Lin Shen.

"Wow, junior, you're really good at archery! Is this really your first time? You're not kidding me, are you?"

"Not really."

Lin Shen touched the bridge of his nose modestly.

"I was just lucky."

"You mean I'm unlucky?"

Jiang Wan smiled and said that Lin Shen had indeed stirred up her competitive spirit.

She also wants to hit a 5-ring or higher once!
But the thing in the way of her chest bothered Jiang Wan, causing her archery posture to be very strange.

Just as she was considering how to improve her movements, Su Youji, who had finished filming, curiously came over. When she saw Lin Shen hit the bullseye for the second time, her wide eyes were filled with surprise.

"Lin Jun! A ten-ring! You're amazing!"

"you flatter me."

Lin Shen smiled, and at that moment Jiang Wan's eyes flickered, and she began to have some doubts.

Su Youji also has a large bust. I wonder how she manages to deal with the fact that her bust is in the way?
So Jiang Wan humbly asked for advice.

"Yuki, could you please teach me how to shoot an arrow?"

"Me? Actually, I'm not that professional either..."

Su Youji was a little reserved, but in the end she stood behind Jiang Wan and enthusiastically gave her guidance.

Because the two are similar in build, Jiang Wan can learn little tricks from Su Youji that the coach didn't know.

For example, holding the bow with a reverse grip allows your palm to support greater thrust.

Although the posture is definitely incorrect, it is a good option for girls with less strength.

The only problem is that you can't aim accurately like that.

Jiang Wan then adopted the correct grip posture, extending her left arm straight, so that when she pulled the bow with her right arm, she could only pull it up to her armpit.

In this way, the chest will naturally not be an obstacle.

However, in this case, the arrow will be shot because the bow is only drawn halfway, resulting in insufficient power and a tendency to fall midway.

Therefore, Su Yuqi said that she always chooses bows that are relatively stiff.

This way, a slight pull is all it takes for the bowstring to provide a very strong rebound force.

Ultimately, under Su Youji's guidance, Jiang Wan made rapid progress, and after several attempts, she was able to hit the seventh ring at her highest.

At this time, Lin Shen, after many practices, was able to hit the eight or nine rings or higher every time.

"call--!"

Jiang Wan stretched her stiff wrists and shoulders, then glanced at Lin Shen who was shooting arrows, feeling surprised and puzzled by his monstrous archery talent.

What happened to him?

She's skilled in photography and editing, and even has such a strong talent for archery?
He's practically a flawless, perfect male god!
Jiang Wan gained a completely new understanding of Lin Shen's strengths in various aspects, and always felt that he would inadvertently reveal his talents to her.
"Lin Jun, you seem to be very suited for archery. I have never seen such talent in a novice like you."

Su Youji was also astonished by Lin Shen's strength.

You could say he was lucky to hit the bullseye the first time, but hitting the bullseye or higher every time is clearly a sign of exceptional talent!
"hey-hey."

Lin Shen scratched his head sheepishly, feeling that it would be a bit too much to be humble at a time like this.

So he issued a challenge to Su Youji.

"How about we have a competition?"

"Okay!"

Su Youji's eyes lit up. Archery was her best sport, so there was no reason for her to refuse.

Even though there was a power imbalance between the two, she was confident she could defeat Lin Shen.

After all, archery tests proficiency, and in this respect, Su Youji has an absolute advantage over Lin Shen.

"How should we compete?"

"Let's compare the total score across all five rounds."

Lin Shen, like a big bad wolf tempting a little white rabbit, patiently and skillfully guided her.

"How about we add another bet to make the competition more exciting?"

bet?

Su Youji tilted her head cutely and asked curiously.

"What's the stake?"

"If you win, I can help you make a viral video, the kind that gets over a million likes."

Lin Shen's confidence made Su Youji blink, slightly surprised.

Her usual videos on Douyin only get around 200,000 to 300,000 likes, with only a few pinned videos exceeding one million likes. Therefore, Su Youji is well aware that both luck and ability are indispensable to creating viral content.

But Lin Shen said he guaranteed he could film it?
That's unlikely...

Su Youji was skeptical, but when she thought about the short film Lin Shen had helped Jiang Wan make that had already garnered nearly four million likes, she became somewhat tempted.

Maybe it's possible?

"Row."

Su Youji nodded.

"What if I lose?"

"If you lose, how about joining my media company?"

what?
Media company?

These words greatly shocked Su Youji's young mind. Her mouth gaped open, and it took her a moment to react and exclaim in surprise.

"Lin Jun, didn't you run a cat café? How come you also have a media company?"

"Both of these are my career."

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

"I wonder if you'd be interested?"

"..."

Su Youji pursed her lips, feeling hesitant.

She knew that Lin Shen had invested a lot of money in promoting his cat café.

Judging from this, his family must be very wealthy.

But Su Youji didn't expect that Lin Shen actually owned a media company!
That's incredibly wealthy!
Su Youji looked up and asked curiously.

"Mr. Lin, what's the name of your media company?"

“Deep and graceful”.

Lin Shen put his arm around Jiang Wan's waist and chuckled.

"It's a business my girlfriend and I started together, and it's currently in its early stages, so I was thinking of inviting you to be our company's first artist."

New company?
Su Youji's eyes widened slightly.

As a pillar in the online celebrity circle, although she rarely participates in power struggles, she is aware of the inside story.

For a new MCN company to grow, it needs to invest millions of dollars upfront.

Equipment, venue, post-production staff...

Each item is extremely expensive and requires a considerable sum of money.

However, Lin Shen was very clever and planned to start with Su Youji to win over a group of unsigned internet celebrities who were already able to produce high-quality works.

This can save a lot of money on training new talent, allowing funds to be invested in important areas such as traffic and marketing.

However, for a high-quality internet celebrity like Su Youji who has her own IP effect, the signing fee would probably be a considerable sum.

But this didn't matter to Lin Shen at all.

If a problem can be solved with money, then it's not a problem!
The tens of millions of startup funds that Deli had saved were Lin Shen's source of confidence.

I'm just wondering if the signing fee is included...

Just as Lin Shen was pondering silently, Su Youji whispered.

"I need to ask my father about this. I can only sign with the company if he agrees."

Ask your father?

Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, then finally understood why Su Youji was so popular, but had not signed with an MCN company.

It turns out that her father had always been supporting her from behind.

In the end, Su Youji was just a young girl in her early twenties.

With limited social experience and a naive personality, they are easily deceived if they rashly sign contracts.

Her father did this to protect her.

Lin Shen thought it was pretty good.

If he has a daughter in the future, he will probably protect her even more strictly than Su Youji, and might not even let her become an internet celebrity.

"I see."

Lin Shen chuckled softly.

"Then I'll draft a contract, and you can show it to your father, how about that?"

"Row!"

After Lin Shen compromised, Su Youji readily agreed, and then gave a charming smile.

"But let's talk about it after you beat me."

"Then I'll have to give it my all."

Lin Shen smiled and then made an excuse to go to the toilet, but actually took out a focus pill from the sports and health app and swallowed it.

'I now need to focus on the five archery events that are about to take place.'

After silently reciting it in his heart, Lin Shen couldn't help but mutter to himself.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cheat.

But in order to win over Su Youji, this is the only option left.

There's no way around it, she's just too important.

If they could sign her, Lin Shen felt that Shenwan Media's early development would be much smoother.

After all, the title of a big internet celebrity is a brand name!
"bring it on."

A short while later, Lin Shen came out of the restroom, his expression more focused than ever before.

Especially after drawing the bow and nocking the arrow, he felt the noise around him subside, and nothing around him could affect him anymore.

He now had only one thought in his mind: to shoot five arrows and hit the bullseye!

Whoosh-!
Ten rings!

Lin Shen's first shot was another perfect 10, which put a lot of psychological pressure on Su Youji.

So she became extremely serious and focused, aimed for a long time before shooting, and finally got a perfect score of ten.

The first game ended in a draw.

"call--!"

Su Youji breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Lin Shen.

At this moment, his gaze was focused, his expression was cold and stern, and his sharp eyes looked past the arrow tip, aiming directly at the target dozens of meters away, before he immediately let go.

boom--!
The arrow struck the bullseye with a resounding thud, another perfect 10.

"Amazing!"

Su Youji couldn't help but exclaim, then covered her mouth with one hand, feeling an unprecedented pressure in her heart.

She was even more nervous than when she participated in the competition back then.

Am I going to lose to a complete beginner who has just learned to shoot arrows?
That's too embarrassing!

Su Youji refused to believe in bad luck. After taking several deep breaths to calm herself down, she focused on her next few archery attempts.

10、10、8、8、9.
This is Su Yuji's score in five archery attempts, totaling 45.
That's already considered a very good result.

然而林深却交出了10、10、9、10、8，共计47环的恐怕答卷。

Bang bang bang——!
When the last arrow hit the bullseye, Jiang Wan couldn't help but applaud.

"Yay! You won, junior!"

"Accepted."

Lin Shen said modestly, then looked at Su Youji and found that there was no disappointment or frustration in her beautiful eyes, only endless admiration and respect spreading.

Although she lost in her best sport, she was not discouraged or disappointed. Instead, she felt that she had found a like-minded friend.

We both enjoy photography and archery.

Meeting Lin Shen is such an incredible stroke of luck!

"Lin Jun, you are so strong."

Su Youji felt like she was becoming a huge fan of Lin Shen, her admiration for him was boundless.

"Is this really your first time shooting an arrow? That's amazing! Could you teach me next time?"

"Maybe it's because I have a better feel for it. I still need to ask you for more advice on archery."

Lin Shen smiled gently.

"About the bet between us..."

"I'll talk to my father about this later."

Su Youji clasped her hands together in front of her, lowered her head, and spoke with deep regret.

"If he doesn't agree, I won't be able to sign the contract with you. In that case, I'll have to ask you to change your requirements."

"fine."

Lin Shen said he was fine, but in reality he really hoped that Su Youji's father would be more sensible.

Old Deng, hand your daughter over to me!

I will cherish her.

"My filming is done, so I'm off now. See you another day! What do you say!"

After waving goodbye to Lin Shen and Jiang Wan, Su Youji left the archery venue with the other staff members.

"It's pretty awesome."

Jiang Wan nudged Lin Shen with her elbow and teased him.

"You tricked that girl so easily, junior. You're really something! It's a waste of your talent that you're not a human trafficker."

"Even if I were a human trafficker, I'd still kidnap you first."

Lin Shen put his arm around Jiang Wan's shoulder and chuckled.

"Senior, it's time to shoot our storyboard now."

"it is good."

Afterwards, Lin Shen took out his phone and filmed several videos of Jiang Wan shooting arrows for later editing.

After all, this kind of dating-like interaction is more likely to attract viewers' interest.

……

Filming ended at 5 PM.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

"it is good."

While Jiang Wan was in the restroom, Lin Shen checked the fitness app.

[Sports and Health:]

[Challenge Mission: Hit the bullseye ten times in a standard shooting range (Completed)]

[Reward: Sports and Health lv.17→lv.18]

[Reward: Exercise effectiveness increased by 220% → 230%]

[Reward: Brain Gold*1]

[Challenge: Learn a challenging sport you don't know (e.g., rock climbing, diving).]

Brain Gold?
Could this be one of those fraudulent health supplements?
Lin Shen can still recall that magical advertising slogan, but it suddenly disappeared.

He had thought it was strange at first, but now that he thinks about it, he guessed it was because of false advertising that they were investigated.

I just don't know what's different about this Brain Gold that the system gave me?
Lin Shen quickly checked the description of the prop.

[Brain Gold: After taking it, it can effectively relieve problems such as swelling, dizziness, and fatigue caused by excessive mental exertion, improve memory and brain cell activity, and enhance thinking and reaction abilities.]

Does it really work that well?
Lin Shen tried clicking on the Brain Gold app, and when he opened his right hand, a white pill appeared in his palm.

After he swallowed it with water, a chill instantly shot from his tailbone straight to the top of his head!

My previously hazy mind instantly cleared up, and all fatigue disappeared.

It works great!

Lin Shen was overjoyed, and at that moment, his phone suddenly received a WeChat message from Qin Yuennan.

[Qin Yuennan: 8 photos]
[Qin Yuennan: I went to inspect your store today, and here are a few issues that need to be addressed. I've already explained them to each store manager.]

[Qin Yuennan: Did you have someone else make your pet food for you? Send me the other person's WeChat, I'll find some time to meet with her and talk to her.]
[Lin Shen: Okay]
Lin Shen gave Shen Yun's WeChat ID to Qin Yuenan and explained the situation to her.

[Lin Shen: Aunt Shen, I've given your WeChat contact to my girlfriend. She'll add you later, so please remember to accept.] (End of Chapter)
