Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

"..."

Upon hearing Xu Lei's heartfelt thoughts, Zhang Xu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, unable to believe what he was hearing.

He thought he had won Xu Lei over with his sincerity, making her his girlfriend and even his fiancée.

And now you're telling me that she started dating me because she was heartbroken over Lin Shen's departure, in order to alleviate the loneliness and desolation that had been building up inside her for so long?

What a thing!
Am I a substitute?

wrong!

This guy isn't even a substitute!
I was here first, so why does Leilei still like Lin Shen?!

Zhang Xu gave a bitter laugh and collapsed to the ground, his lips trembling as he asked in disbelief.

"You mean... you've liked Lin Shen for a long time?"

"It's not exactly early."

Now that she had expressed her truest thoughts, Xu Lei decided not to pretend anymore and confessed directly.

"At least before you, when I was still colleagues with President Lin, I had a slight liking for him."

"But he hadn't broken up with his girlfriend at the time, so I couldn't say much and could only treat him as a colleague."

"Later, after I found out he broke up with his girlfriend, I was thinking of talking to him, but he immediately quit his job."

"By this time you had been pursuing me for several months, I felt I had to give you an explanation, so I thought I'd talk to you first and see if Mr. Lin had any news."

"As we talked, I found out that you were also very good to me. Plus, I couldn't get in touch with President Lin, so I started to take our relationship seriously, and it even came to the point of discussing marriage."

"But in this respect, you broke my heart."

Xu Lei retorted coldly.

"You have no manliness whatsoever, no opinions of your own, you always listen to your parents, you can't make any decisions or take a stand on your own. I see no ambition in you, only two words: decadent!"

"If I marry you, I can imagine how difficult our future life will be. Since you don't want to do anything, why get married in the first place?"

As Xu Lei spoke, her tone grew increasingly heavy, and her eyes were filled with disgust.

"What I hate most are men like you. You keep saying that life is stressful and that you should think more about yourself and enjoy life, but then you turn around and think about getting married."

"Either you go home and live a leisurely life and don't get married, or you work hard to secure your future. But you're the opposite; you want both, and your double standards are extreme."

"I can stay in Shanghai now, but you want to go home. We could have parted amicably, but you insist on asking about my relationship with President Lin. Since that's the case, I'll make it clear to you."

Xu Lei emphasized, word by word.

"Besides the high salary and good benefits, the main reason I became Mr. Lin's secretary was to seduce him and use him to cross social classes and live a better life!"

"Xu Lei! Have you gone mad?"

Zhang Xu clearly couldn't believe that Xu Lei, whom he thought was so innocent, would say something like "seduction."

"Didn't you say that Lin Shen has a girlfriend?"

"So what?"

Xu Lei's gaze toward Zhang Xu was full of provocation.

"Don't you know that many secretaries are mistresses of their bosses these days? Would you really trust a complete stranger to arrange your schedule and liaise with clients?"

"You're insane! You're completely unreasonable!"

Zhang Xu couldn't find the right words, after all, he still had deep feelings for Xu Lei.

However, he did not consider Xu Lei's feelings, which led to the current situation.

However, it's too late to salvage the situation now.

The two are from completely different worlds.

She was determined to make it in the glitz and glamour of the metropolis, even if it meant becoming a mistress to climb the social ladder—a truly ambitious woman.

Tired of the fast pace of big cities, she prefers the leisurely life in a small county town and longs to go home and enjoy a peaceful life.

Clearly, the intersection of their differing ways of thinking leaves no room for negotiation.

In that case, separating would be a better choice.

only……

Zhang Xu clenched his fists tightly, then slowly relaxed them with a sigh of relief, his face filled with despair.

"Leilei, is there really no possibility between us?"

"Nothing."

Xu Lei picked up her bag and laptop, stood up, and prepared to leave Starbucks. Before leaving, she turned back to look at Zhang Xu and whispered.

"We've broken up. If you still have feelings for me, then don't bother my work and life."

"If your harassment makes me lose the opportunity to stay by Mr. Lin's side and be his secretary, I will hate you to death!"

After saying that, Xu Lei left Starbucks without looking back, leaving Zhang Xu alone slumped on the sofa, his eyes vacant.

The beautiful love he fantasized about ultimately succumbed to reality.

He brought this all on himself.

Snapped--!
Zhang Xu slapped himself hard across the face, quickly drawing surprised glances from those around him.

Then I watched him leave Starbucks like a walking corpse.

Another heartbroken man has joined this city...

Everyone silently prayed.

Huamao Building, Shennan Pet Industry.

After Xu Lei left, Qin Yuennan waited for Lin Shen in the office for a long time. She waited until almost no one was left in the entire office area and everyone had already left work, but she still did not see Lin Shen.

This guy……

Qin Yuennan narrowed her eyes slightly, muttered a few complaints in her mind, and then directly called Lin Shen.

The phone rang for about ten seconds before it was answered.

"Where are you?"

Qin Yuennan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, asking Lin Shen a question. He remained silent for a moment before chuckling.

"I'm on my way back, and Sister Nan is already so eager to see me?"

"You have twenty minutes to come back."

Qin Yuennan pursed her lips, her tone was exceptionally cold and serious, but what she said was somewhat laughable.

"If you don't come back on time, don't even think about getting into my bed for a week!"

"that……"

beep...

Before Lin Shen could reply, Qin Yuennan angrily hung up the phone.

Although she heard some strange noises on the other end of the phone, she didn't want to know what Lin Shen was doing.

She just wanted to see Lin Shen right now!
Is this considered a form of controlling behavior?
Qin Yuennan interlaced her fingers and pressed them against her forehead, feeling that she hadn't given Lin Shen enough personal space.

But I've been more magnanimous than I thought!

I won't ask anything, I won't say anything, I just want you by my side.

If it were any other woman, she would have started making a scene long ago!
However, Lin Shen should be given some private time to handle his own affairs.

but……

"well--!"

Qin Yuennan rubbed her aching temples and sighed. She picked up her water glass and went to the coffee machine. After pouring herself a hot latte, she carried it to the French windows and looked out at the bustling traffic that was gradually entering the evening rush hour. Her thoughts drifted.

-

Zhonghai Lingdi Jiuxu. As the sun sets, its orange-yellow afterglow spills into the back garden of the detached villa.

A black Bentley Flying Spur was parked quietly in the corner. From a distance, it didn't look particularly special, but upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see that the entire car was in a state of up-and-down motion.

It's a bit like putting a car on a trampoline.

However, due to the Bentley Flying Spur's excellent shock absorption, the magnitude of the shock is not noticeable.

But that's enough to spark endless imagination.

Lin Shen was sitting in the middle of the back row, his shirt buttons undone, revealing his sexy and muscular chest and abdomen.

He was holding his phone in his right hand, answering a check-up call from Qin Yuennan.

Her left hand then caressed the black-stockinged buttocks of the woman sitting on her lap.

However, the originally thin and sheer matte black pantyhose are now a battle-damaged version that has been torn apart.

At this moment, Shen Yun's soft and voluptuous waist was positioned perfectly in the center of the driver's and passenger's seats, with her bodycon skirt bunched up on top of it.

……

Only after hearing Lin Shen hang up the phone behind her did Shen Yun, her eyes still glazed over, loosen her tightly clenched red lips, letting her charming voice fill the enchanting and passionate little car.

Of course, its small size is only compared to a bedroom. Compared to other ordinary cars, the Bentley Flying Spur, as an executive sedan, still has a spacious and luxurious interior.

Solid wood and genuine leather are used throughout, creating an extremely elegant and luxurious interior atmosphere.

However, it's estimated that the car door will need to be opened to let it air out later.

"Was that your girlfriend calling?"

"Ah."

Lin Shen smiled wryly, feeling helpless.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Shen, I have to get back to the company right away. My girlfriend said that if I don't get back in twenty minutes, she won't let me into her bed."

"Then why don't you go to Auntie's bed?"

Shen Yun turned her head to look at Lin Shen with a charming and alluring gaze, her eyes brimming with endless tenderness.

"You're welcome to come to my bed anytime, anywhere."

"Okay, but I have to wait until I've finished dealing with my girlfriend's situation, so Aunt Shen, we need to get this over with quickly."

After saying that, Lin Shen hugged Shen Yun's waist and pulled her upper body from the front row back to the back row.

Then he flipped over, and Shen Yun's two sexy legs, clad in black stockings, were now facing up.

As a luxury car, its roof has extremely high wear resistance.

This is the true purpose of luxury cars!
Lin Shen secretly admired him.

-

At 6 PM, Shennan Pet Shop.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the general manager's office.

Dangdangdang——!
Without even needing to guess, Qin Yuennan knew who was at the door, and then said coldly.

"How long are you planning to stand there?"

"This isn't a matter of etiquette."

Lin Shen chuckled, pushed open the door to the general manager's office, locked the door from the inside, then came up behind Qin Yuennan and playfully rubbed her shoulder with concern.

"Sister Nan, you must be exhausted after a long day at work. Let me give you a shoulder massage."

"Humph."

Qin Yuennan originally had a lot of resentment that she wanted to vent on Lin Shen.

For example, so many company affairs have piled up in her hands, while Lin Shen has become a hands-off manager, going out for leisure and not caring at all!
For example, he never informs his girlfriend before going out to do anything!
Anyway, Qin Yuennan was very annoyed and angry, and wished she could bite him hard when she saw him!
However, after seeing Lin Shen's handsome face, her anger dissipated considerably, and she was no longer as annoyed as before.

She even lost the desire to argue with him.

In particular, Lin Shen continued to fawn over Qin Yuennan, and although there was an element of pretense in it, she was very receptive to it.

So she crossed her arms, closed her eyes to rest, enjoying the comfort of Lin Shen massaging her shoulders while forcibly maintaining her aloof demeanor, and questioned him in a deep voice.

What did you do this afternoon?

"Let's talk business."

After massaging Qin Yuennan's shoulders, Lin Shen moved his hands to her delicate swan-like neck and kneaded it, occasionally pressing the back of her ears with his thumbs to help relieve her mental fatigue.

"I've already secured a supplier for our pet toys."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuennan perked up and looked back at Lin Shen with curiosity.

"Who?"

“Aunt Shen’s best friend owns a children’s toy manufacturer. They used to work in Yiwu, mainly supplying overseas markets. Now they’re thinking of expanding into the domestic market, so I thought I’d have them manufacture pet supplies for me, such as cat trees, cat toys, and other small gadgets.”

"Is it."

Noticing that Lin Shen's hands were starting to wander again, Qin Yuenan slapped them away and then glared at Lin Shen behind her with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

He's always like this. Every time he says he's giving a massage, it seems like he's the one who's losing out, but actually he's just looking for an opportunity to take advantage!
So annoying!
Did she agree?

"accepted."

Seeing that Qin Yuennan was resisting his actions, Lin Shen instead wrapped his arms tightly around her neck and whispered in her ear.

"And we don't need to pay any fees in advance."

what?
No fees are required?

Qin Yuennan looked puzzled.

Isn't this a freebie delivered right to our doorstep?

Production line modifications are free, and payments for goods don't need to be made in advance...

If she decides not to take the goods, won't she suffer a huge loss?
It takes immense courage and trust to go to such lengths.

"You're pretty awesome."

To be honest, Qin Yuening admired Lin Shen somewhat, but was mostly puzzled.

Why does she trust you so much?

"Perhaps it's because I have a lot of personal charm."

Lin Shen smiled sheepishly, which made Qin Yuennan snort disdainfully, and then she interrogated him.

"Did you use unfair means to conduct business?"

"What improper means?"

Seeing Lin Shen's genuine surprise, Qin Yuenan blushed slightly and bit her lip shyly.

"Just like those women, you sell your body! Don't think I don't know what Shen Yun's motives are for helping you like this?"

"She's so rich, she couldn't be after money!"

"Cough cough!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shen finally understood what Qin Yuennan was angry about, and then he spoke in a serious and solemn manner.

"If it can help Shennan develop more healthily, I'm willing to sell my body!"

"Lin Shen!"

Qin Yuennan glared at Lin Shen again, then took his hand and stood up as if to leave.

"go home with me!"

"What to do?"

"What can I do? Of course, I'll do *!" (End of Chapter)
