Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Ok?
So it really is because of this!

Lin Shen's lips curled slightly, as if he had already anticipated the reason why Xu Lei and her boyfriend had quarreled.

After all, no man would stand by and watch his girlfriend become another man's secretary these days.

The other person might even be someone the same age as you.

This sense of disparity usually evolves into a sense of crisis.

Does anyone know if the two of them have any contact in private?
After all, a secretary's job is to provide services to the boss; as for what kind of services, that depends on the mutual respect and consideration of both parties...

Lin Shen understood, but there really wasn't a practical solution to this situation.

The only possible solution is to resign and stop being a secretary.

But is Xu Lei really willing to give it up?

Looking at her conflicted expression, Lin Shen understood perfectly that she valued the job of a secretary.

Because the money offered was sufficient.

This alone makes it impossible for her to resign.

However, she is unable to balance the relationship between work and relationships, which has led to the current complicated situation.

After carefully considering his words, Lin Shen asked softly.

"Didn't you talk to your boyfriend about it?"

"We talked about it."

Xu Lei looked dejected.

"But he insisted that I had ulterior motives for becoming your secretary, Mr. Lin, and that I didn't genuinely want to be your secretary."

"Because I felt that I had never worked in this industry before, and my sudden career change made him suspicious of my motives."

"So what's the solution?"

Lin Shen hasn't even sorted out his own relationship problems with the women around him, let alone care about other people's relationship problems.

More than concern, he cared about Xu Lei's opinion.

Knowing how to handle the conflict between one's personal life and career is also a reflection of a secretary's competence.

Lin Shen wanted to see what Xu Lei would do, so he asked softly.

"How do you plan to handle this? Quit your job? Or break up with your boyfriend?"

"I plan to talk to him again!"

Xu Lei hurriedly said, sensing a hint of impatience in Lin Shen's words.

Yes!

The work of a secretary requires meticulousness and attention to detail. Any mistake could lead to business failure, company shutdown, and a host of other serious problems.

Therefore, Xu Lei understood Lin Shen and knew that this was her own problem.

Moreover, Lin Shen also offered her generous salary and benefits, which can be said to be the most generous and considerate thing to do between old colleagues.

Therefore, Xu Lei was very grateful to Lin Shen in this regard.

But she didn't want to give up on her boyfriend either.

Although the two had been arguing a lot during this period, Xu Lei also discovered various problems with her boyfriend in his life and work.

But after all, the two have a foundation of feelings and have met each other's parents at home. They can't just break up over a small problem, can they?

Xu Lei cherishes this relationship, so she plans to focus on her work first and talk to Zhang Xu again once her career is stable.

She felt that Zhang Xu would definitely understand her!

"I see."

Seeing Xu Lei's extremely conflicted expression, Lin Shen felt embarrassed to continue pressuring her, and instead spoke softly.

"Let's deal with this as soon as possible. The company is currently in a phase of steady development. You wouldn't want to see your work suffer because of your worries, would you?"

"Understood, Mr. Lin!"

Lin Shen's warning was very clear, and Xu Lei, who had extremely high emotional intelligence, naturally understood his meaning as well.

So she bowed slightly and said in a deep voice.

"I will handle this within three days, and it will definitely not interfere with my work."

"Ah."

Lin Shen nodded and continued to handle some company matters with Xu Lei's assistance.

At noon, he invited all the company employees to have barbecue together, which was a rather informal team building activity.

"Let's have another formal team building activity after we get back from the National Day holiday!"

Inside the barbecue restaurant, Lin Shen announced loudly with a smile.

"I hope everyone will cooperate and strive for a win-win situation!"

"it is good!"

The employees were very positive, after all, it's rare to find a boss as generous as Lin Shen in the market.

More than fifty people, a single barbecue meal can cost four or five thousand!

As a result, Lin Shen didn't even blink, as if four or five thousand yuan was nothing to him.

This is the kind of aura a rich kid should have!

Shennan's employees felt an inexplicable sense of enthusiasm and motivation when working under Lin Shen.

The real reason, of course, is because of his new title – "Boss's Prestige".

Seeing the employees' surging enthusiasm for their work, Lin Shen felt that this title was really good!

At least when I'm at the company, I can replace him.

However, after leaving home in the afternoon, Lin Shen changed his title back to "millionaire".

He planned to go to Su Youji's house to discuss signing his daughter with her father.

But you can't go to visit someone empty-handed!
So Lin Shen decided to buy some inexpensive gifts, such as cigars and red wine.

Cigarettes and alcohol are the most valuable commodities for men in the business world; even if they don't like them, they probably won't refuse them.

So Lin Shen found a specialty store that sells cigars, and was warmly welcomed by the female sales assistant as soon as he entered.

"Hello sir! Are you here to buy cigars?"

"Ah."

"May I ask your surname?"

"Forest."

"Okay, Mr. Lin, this way please."

The female sales assistant was very polite and gentle, with a sweet and charming smile, and her attire was also very appropriate.

A white shirt, black pencil skirt, and black stockings create a professional look that highlights a woman's sexy and graceful figure without appearing vulgar.

Coupled with his gentle and refined demeanor, Lin Shen felt that he had come to the right place.

"Mr. Lin, are you going to smoke it yourself, or give it to a friend?"

"Gifts."

Lin Shen's words made the saleswoman understand his purpose for coming, so she smiled and continued to ask questions.

"What's your preferred price range? From a few hundred to a few thousand, we have it all."

"Are there any in the 10,000 yuan range?"

Ten thousand yuan?

Lin Shen's words made the female sales assistant blink slightly, feeling a moment of surprise.

so expensive?
At first, the saleswoman thought Lin Shen was young and just wanted to try the taste of cigars.

Upon hearing that it was a gift, and a gift worth tens of thousands of yuan, the female sales associate immediately became extremely attentive.

Such an expensive price suggests that this young man is giving a gift to an elder!

With National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, it might be a gift for his father-in-law!
So rich!

He gave me a cigar worth tens of thousands of yuan as soon as we met. He must be a rich second-generation from a wealthy family.

Faced with such a high-potential customer, the female sales associate dared not be negligent in the slightest, and even made her attitude more polite and gentle.

"Yes, sir! Do you have a favorite brand?"

"Could you recommend one for me?"

Lin Shen never smokes, let alone cigars, so he naturally doesn't know anything about it.

I should have let that green tea b*tch choose.

As a fake socialite, she should know a lot about these luxury goods. Lin Shen muttered to himself, while the saleswoman was secretly overjoyed.

Can you recommend one?

That's great!
These sales figures are practically handed to us!
The saleswoman was secretly delighted and quickly invited Lin Shen into the VIP room.

Although it's called a VIP meeting room, it's actually more like a study.

Carved window lattices and sandalwood doors.

The antique-style decor and lush greenery make it hard to believe that this is a modern shopping mall.

"Mr. Lin, this is Behike that I recommend to you."

A moment later, the saleswoman slowly walked over with an exquisite rectangular red cigarette box in her hands. She took out a cigar from it with special cedar tweezers and then squatted down next to Lin Shen to introduce its appearance to him.

"It is a rare gem among Cuban cigars, a limited edition product launched by the Behike brand to commemorate its 40th anniversary. Only 100 boxes were produced, each containing 40 cigars. Its scarcity makes it an excellent choice for gifting."

"Their tobacco leaves come from several famous growing regions in Cuba, including Pinar del Río and Vueltos, and are of superior quality."

"Moreover, each Behike box comes with a handcrafted moisturizing box made by the French company EliBlue, exuding luxury and prestige."

"In terms of taste, Behike has a rich and layered flavor, with a smooth and mellow smoke and a unique Cuban tobacco flavor. The flavor changes subtly in the beginning, middle and end, giving you an ultimate smoking experience. Shall I get you one?"

Serve one?
This sounds really strange!

Lin Shen felt a little strange, but he did know something about the profession of "eggplant server".

It's a job that involves serving the boss a cigar.

The boss was drawing lots upstairs, and they were drawing lots downstairs.

It's hard to imagine that serving cigarettes could form an industry chain, and it's quite popular!

They even have certificates!
As a wealthy man, Lin Shen really couldn't understand the rules and dynamics of the upper-class circles.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that his current assets of tens of millions are only enough to get him into the upper echelons of society.

Lin Shen still has a long way to go to truly cross that threshold and enter a social class that ordinary people cannot even imagine.

"No."

Lin Shen decisively declined the saleswoman's invitation to serve eggplant.

"I don't smoke."

will not?

These words left the female sales assistant completely bewildered.

This was the first time she had ever seen a non-smoker buy cigars. Was he just doing it as a gift?

The female sales assistant found the handsome, rich second-generation man in front of her quite interesting.

I always felt that he was the kind of well-mannered rich kid who was obedient and well-behaved and never came into contact with things like cigarettes and alcohol.

The female sales assistant's mind began to wander, and she immediately asked a probing question.

"Would you like to try it? The cigar isn't actually that strong."

"can."

Although Lin Shen doesn't like smoking, that doesn't stop him from giving it a try.

After all, there will be many more opportunities for socializing and business negotiations in the future, and sooner or later you will have to come into contact with cigarettes.

So Lin Shen asked the saleswoman to serve him one.

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Regardless of whether the items sell or not, as long as they're lit, that's a thousand yuan in profit.

The saleswoman first showed Lin Shen the shape of the cigar, then took out a cigar cutter and cut off the cap vertically, and finally lit it slowly with a sulfur-free match.

Of course, there are also rules about lighting a cigar.

The saleswoman first brought the flame close to the foot of the cigar, then slowly rotated the cigar to heat it thoroughly, and finally lit it.

"Mr. Lin, you can smoke now. If it's your first time, don't use too much force and savor it slowly."

"it is good."

After being reminded, Lin Shen didn't exert much force. He simply picked up the cigar and took a light puff, which caused him to cough violently.

What the hell!

That's incredibly strong?

Seeing this, the saleswoman quickly took the cigar from Lin Shen's hand and gently patted his back. She then handed him a water glass and spoke to him with concern in a soft voice.

"Are you okay?"

"fine."

Lin Shen waved his hand. After the brief pungent smell subsided, the lingering rich tobacco fragrance in his nasal cavity was indeed quite pleasant.

Even he, who doesn't smoke, could tell that this cigar was indeed of very high quality.

How much is one?

Lin Shen asked curiously, and the female sales assistant replied.

"One thousand, but if we sell the whole box, it's 39999 in total. It comes with a cigar cutter, a cigar trimmer, and matching matches. You can also join our Cigar Lovers Club, where we hold cigar tasting events from time to time."

"Okay, give me five boxes."

Lin Shen thought for a moment and decided to use one pack this afternoon and bring the other pack home for his father during the National Day holiday, so that his father, who had been smoking for over twenty years, could taste it.

Lin Shen planned to use the remaining three boxes as gifts later, since there would be plenty of opportunities for social occasions in the future.

However, the saleswoman was completely stunned when she heard that Lin Shen wanted to buy five boxes.

No!

Five boxes?

Two hundred thousand?
To be honest, most of the customers who come to buy cigars are either rich or powerful, and the female sales assistant has long seen many wealthy second-generation heirs or first-generation entrepreneurs.

But this was the first time she had ever met someone as wealthy as Lin Shen.

You want to buy five boxes at once?

But this is a limited edition worldwide...

After realizing what had happened, the female sales assistant hurriedly apologized.

"Mr. Lin, we only have two boxes in stock. How about I introduce you to other brands of cigars? They each have their own unique flavors."

"Row."

Lin Shen didn't waste any more words and simply waved his hand, spending over 100,000 yuan to buy five boxes of cigars.

Aside from Behike at the beginning, the next item is Trinidad wooden box cigars from Cuba.

"Mr. Lin, please take care."

"it is good."

After leaving the cigar shop, Lin Shen went to the winery and bought several bottles of red wine, including two bottles of aged Moutai that the owner had treasured for many years.

It's about thirty years old, and the market price is over ten thousand yuan per bottle.

The owner originally didn't want to sell, but seeing how generous Lin Shen was in paying for the wine, he thought of using this method to make friends with Lin Shen, and that's how he ended up selling his wine shop.

After all, you can buy more wine, but the chance to meet may only come once!

"Thanks, boss."

After waving goodbye to the winery owner, Lin Shen looked at the fully loaded trunk of his Maybach S680 and had a strange feeling that he was about to go home for the Chinese New Year.

Perhaps I can buy some nice things for my family before going home for National Day.

We'll leave this to Little Green Tea; she's probably the most knowledgeable about these kinds of gifts.

Lin Shen silently made a plan in his mind.

In his mind, only Little Green Tea truly understands what gifts to give.

Although she is young, she has extremely high emotional intelligence and is knowledgeable about these luxury goods.

When Lin Shen was giving gifts to his girlfriend, he always consulted Xiao Lvcha for ideas.

If you're considering giving this to your parents, it might be a good idea to ask her for advice.

I just don't know if she'll pester me to take her home.

If that's the case, it would be better to let her meet Lin Ping first!
As for where to meet...

Lin Shen's lips curled up, and he had already decided to push forward with his plan to live happily ever after.

My niece and my aunt, I wonder who will perform better in bed? (End of Chapter)
