Clothes for the changing season?
Lin Shen looked slightly surprised.

For boys, when the seasons change, they usually just dig out old clothes from the depths of their closets.

I generally don't buy clothes unless they're absolutely unwearable.

Moreover, since Lin Shen started dating, the only person who has ever cared about his clothes is his mother.

Unexpectedly, there are other women who care about his well-being.

How thoughtful!

Lin Shen smiled knowingly, deeply moved, and hugged Lin Ping tightly in his arms. His gaze softened considerably, and he then pressed his lips to her earlobe, which was trembling slightly with nervousness, and chuckled softly.

"Okay, I'll come see you tonight. Is there anything else?"

"There is indeed one more thing."

Lin Ping was slightly conflicted, but after feeling the warmth of Lin Shen's embrace, she understood that as long as her request wasn't excessive, Lin Shen would definitely agree to it.

This touched a soft spot in her heart, and she finally overcame her shyness, stretched out her arms and took the initiative to hook her arms around Lin Shen's neck, raised her blushing face, and pleaded with her eyes dreamy.

“An’an has always wanted to see me marry you, Mr. Lin, but I know this must be a very difficult thing for you.”

"So I had an idea to have you take a wedding photo with me, pretending it's for An'an to see, is that okay?"

Wedding photos?
Lin Shen was taken aback.

"You mean the kind where you wear a wedding dress?"

"Correct."

Lin Ping knew that her request might be a bit excessive, so she quickly explained.

"I know that wedding photos are a very meaningful thing for a person. Usually, the first time you take wedding photos is with the person you love most. You and your girlfriend probably haven't taken any yet, right?"

"Mr. Lin, if you haven't done this before, you can do it with your girlfriend first, and then consider what I'm talking about, or you can just refuse me directly."

"Why would you refuse?"

Lin Shen's lips curled up slightly.

Actually, he didn't care about such things at all, and he was also puzzled as to why some women liked to attach strange meanings to certain things.

For example, the first time taking wedding photos, the first time bringing someone home, etc.

Lin Shen didn't care; the first and second times were about the same. But they really wanted to have his "first time".

Even Lin Ping is now being somewhat cautious.

However, Lin Shen offered words of comfort.

"If it makes An'an happy, taking wedding photos is fine too. Anyway, you won't show them to anyone else, right?"

"Definitely not!"

Lin Ping quickly emphasized.

"I only showed the wedding photos to An'an to put her mind at ease. Otherwise, she'd ask me every day if I'd married you, Mr. Lin..."

"She really cares about you as her mother."

Lin Shen smiled knowingly and glanced at the time displayed on his left wrist by the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch.

Seeing this, Lin Ping, with her extremely high emotional intelligence, immediately understood that Lin Shen must have something else to do, so she quickly said...

"Mr. Lin, why don't you go ahead with your work? I'll go check on the store. You can just come to my house for dinner tonight."

"Ah."

"President Lin, please take care of your health and don't overwork yourself."

After expressing her concern for Lin Shen for a few moments, Lin Ping bowed slightly and left the office.

At the door, she ran into Xu Lei, who had been wanting to come in to report on her work, and their eyes met briefly.

The two of them were tacitly aware of what was going on between them.

Although Xu Lei didn't know what Lin Ping and Lin Shen had discussed in private, she could tell from the gentle smile on Lin Ping's lips that she was quite satisfied with the outcome of their conversation.

Perhaps she has a good relationship with President Lin?

Xu Lei pondered silently, while Lin Ping gave a detailed analysis of Lin Shen's secretary from a woman's perspective.

First of all, her looks and figure are quite good among women, more than enough to be Mr. Lin's secretary.

This caused the sense of crisis that had subsided in Lin Ping's heart to surge up again.

Because she discovered that all the women around Lin Shen were very beautiful!
And most importantly, she has a fantastic figure!

They are all tall, curvy beauties.

I really don't understand, where did President Lin find so many beautiful women?

They are rarely seen on the street, but now they are appearing in droves around President Lin.

As expected, his competitors were no ordinary people!

Lin Ping pondered silently.

Secondly, she discovered that Xu Lei seemed to have strange feelings for Lin Ye.

While in the office just now, Lin Ping secretly observed everyone's expressions.

Qi Hao and Yang Han looked at Lin Shen with admiration and praise; while Qin Yuenan's eyes were filled with pride and self-satisfaction, her expression like a boastful "My man is amazing, isn't he?"

As for Shen Yun, her gaze towards Lin Shen was rather cloying and alluring, like a demon seeing Tang Sanzang, with a desire to devour him whole.

Xu Lei's gaze, on the other hand, is one of admiration and respect mixed with a hint of expectation.

She seemed to want to take her relationship with Lin Shen to the next level, but the outstanding women around her hindered her from doing so.

Perhaps I could try to build a relationship with Xu Lei.

As Lin Ping pondered this, she took the elevator down to the -1 floor.

But she encountered someone she never expected.

"You're finally down."

Shen Yun crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, a signature charming smile playing on her lips.

Although she waited for a long time in the parking lot, she was not annoyed at all.

Seeing Lin Ping's surprised expression, Shen Yun took a step forward and smiled lightly.

"How about we find somewhere to talk?"

Want to talk to me?
Lin Ping was a little puzzled. After all, it was the first time the two had met. What could they possibly have to talk about?

Seeing her puzzled look, Shen Yun smiled slightly and asked directly.

"Your relationship with Xiao Shen... must be more than just ordinary, right?"

!! ?
Shen Yun's words made Lin Ping's heart tremble, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.

How did she know?
I didn't reveal anything!

After a brief moment of shock, Lin Ping quickly calmed her restless mind, tucked the strands of hair behind her ear, and spoke softly, trying to appear calm.

"My relationship with General Manager Lin is a normal superior-subordinate relationship."

"is it?"

Shen Yun didn't seem to be in a hurry to expose Lin Ping's ulterior motives. Instead, she smiled charmingly and analyzed the situation.

"When you introduced yourself, you only said that you were appointed by Lin Shen as the general manager of the customer service department, but you did not introduce your actual situation, such as your education or work experience."

"Although this might sound a bit harsh, you probably didn't mention it because you're not good at these aspects, right?"

So what if it's not presentable?

Lin Ping's eyes instantly turned wary, and she felt a surge of hostility towards Shen Yun. "These things were all arranged by President Lin. If you have any objections, you can give them to him directly, and I will follow all his arrangements."

"Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with this matter or with you."

Perhaps sensing Lin Ping's resistance, Shen Yun was not annoyed, but continued to smile.

"What I mean is, if you don't have experience in this area, I can teach you how to get along with customers and how to do business, and I can also guide you in your work as the general manager of the customer service department."

"As you know, I am the chairman of Yuanyouwei, and I am very good at business matters."

what?
Seeing Shen Yun's serious expression, Lin Ping's hostility vanished instantly, replaced by intense astonishment and surprise.

She actually thought of helping me at work?

why?
Don't overthink it, I didn't mean anything by it.

Perhaps seeing through Lin Ping's thoughts, Shen Yun explained.

"I think that since we are all working for Shennan and Xiao Shen, and our goals are the same, we should cooperate and help each other. There is no need for us to be hostile to each other or compete with each other."

"sorry."

Upon hearing that Shen Yun was so magnanimous, Lin Ping felt ashamed of her own pettiness, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly bowed to express her apology.

"I apologize for what I said earlier."

"It's okay, I understand."

Shen Yun naturally understood why Lin Ping was wary, after all, she and Lin Ping were the same kind of people!
The more similar the type of woman is to Lin Shen, the easier it is for competition to arise.

But Shen Yun didn't want any conflict or disagreement with Lin Ping; instead, she wanted to befriend her.

This is also a common tactic she uses to handle her relationships with the women around Lin Shen.

Since everyone serves the same person, there's no need to compete for favor like in the ancient imperial palace.

After all, such an operation will only result in a lose-lose situation.

Why don't we all be more harmonious and share Lin Shen's affection with each other?
Anyway, he seems to have inexhaustible energy, which is more than enough to deal with the few of us.

This was Shen Yun's strategy, so she also wanted to bring Lin Ping, who might have an unusual relationship with Lin Shen, under her wing.

Is it better to have one more friend than one more enemy?

Moreover, according to Shen Yun's observation, gentle and virtuous young women like Lin Ping are the easiest to win over and bewitch!
All I need to do is help her in business and work, and she will be grateful and prioritize me.

Even when she gets along with Lin Shen later, she will subconsciously give way to her and even cover for her.

Isn't that wonderful?
Shen Yun's smile became even more charming and captivating.

"What do you think about it? Do you need me to teach you some experience on the job?"

"If it's possible, thank you very much."

Lin Ping bowed slightly respectfully, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.

She actually wanted to help Lin Shen with his career more than anyone else.

After all, Lin Shen treated her too well in life, not only giving her a comfortable life, but also giving An An the warmth of home.

Lin Shen's actions filled Lin Ping with gratitude and appreciation, and she was also enveloped in an endless sense of happiness.

This made her feel that her emotional service was not enough to repay Lin Shen.

We should provide him with assistance in many more ways.

But Lin Ping knew that her abilities were very ordinary and she couldn't offer any important help. She could only do manual labor such as minding the shop and try her best to help Lin Shen with her diligence and hard work.

But actually, she also really wants to change.

She didn't want to be a parasite by Lin Shen's side forever, sucking his blood every day and relying on him for a living.

Just like the "vase" mentioned online, it looks good but is useless.

That way, An'an will look down on her when she grows up.

Lin Ping wanted to set an example for her daughter, an example of someone who earned a good life through hard work and diligence.

Although she still needs Lin Shen's help, Lin Ping feels that she should live a more independent life.

Of course, if you're being kept by a sugar daddy, you can't have an independent personality.

However, Lin Ping thought that, while listening to Lin Shen, she should try her best to use her abilities to help him.

Therefore, Lin Ping was eager to learn about business, so she accepted Shen Yun's offer without hesitation.

"I do have many questions I'd like to ask you about how to handle customer requests."

"No problem, you can contact me anytime if you have any questions."

Shen Yun smiled charmingly.

"However, I have a small question. I asked you about it earlier, but you didn't answer. Can you tell me now?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ping pursed her lips, her slightly flushed face revealing a conflicted expression.

She knew exactly what Shen Yun wanted to ask, but she found it difficult to bring it up.

Seeing Lin Ping's troubled expression, Shen Yun already had the answer in her heart, so she smiled and helped her out.

"Why don't you take me to Shen Nan's shop? We can talk more when we get there?"

"it is good."

Lin Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and then she drove the way, and the two left the Huamao Building and headed to Shennan's flagship store in Wujiaochang.

Upon seeing the futuristic interior, Shen Yun, who was visiting the place for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"What an exquisite cat café! I feel like this place can no longer be considered a cat café."

"Correct."

Lin Ping introduced it with a smile.

"It should be considered an offline comprehensive pet community that integrates pet food sales, cat cafes, pet grooming and care services. It is also the offline sample store that General Manager Lin showed to the franchisees."

"It's really good."

From a franchisee's perspective, Shen Yun had a strong desire to become a franchisee.

After all, once the reputation is established, coupled with such exquisite decoration, there's no need to worry about a lack of customers!
Led by Lin Ping, Shen Yun toured Shen Nan's flagship store and then picked up a pet food from the shelf and asked about it with a smile.

"How are the sales figures for this Shennan pet food?"

"very good."

Lin Ping had a very vivid memory of accounting matters, and she immediately began to speak fluently.

"Our self-produced Shennan pet food already accounts for half of the pet food sales in the store. It is estimated that it will not be long before it can completely replace other pet food products."

"It seems that offline sales are quite good."

Shen Yun nodded, then gave a charming smile.

"Then I can proceed with the production line modifications without worry."

"So this pet food was indeed produced by your factory."

Lin Ping's eyes suddenly softened, and then she had a sudden thought and took the initiative to ask Shen Yun.

"You're willing to help Mr. Lin modify the production line and also willing to be his contract manufacturer, which means you must have a pretty good relationship with him, right?"

"Yes."

Unlike Lin Ping, Shen Yun didn't struggle with this situation; instead, she smiled charmingly and confidently.

"My relationship with Xiao Shen is the same as your relationship with President Lin." (End of Chapter)
