Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Lin Shen originally wanted to postpone the matter of staying together until after National Day.

After all, he had been too busy with work lately to think about whether Zheng Yanfei and Lin Ping had discovered each other's secrets.

But now, it seems that this problem is already starting to emerge.

Judging from the fact that they exchanged similar styles of clothing, they must have already been exchanging letters.

Therefore, the "double accommodation" arrangement must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Even if they don't know each other's identities, they still need to get used to each other's presence, in order to prevent any potential slip-ups in the future.

Otherwise, if the young woman and the young woman Ping knew each other's secrets, the shock might be too much for them to handle.

Think about it, your aunt, whom you perceive as gentle and virtuous, like a mother figure, turns out to be serving the same man as you.

Who can bear this?
Correspondingly, Lin Ping probably couldn't accept that such a shameful thing about her would be known by the younger generation.

Therefore, dealing with their relationship is a long and arduous task.

Lin Shen pondered silently, his mind racing with ideas on how to get Zheng Yanfei and Lin Ping to accept this reality. He barely listened to Matteo's account of Ferrari's history.

On the contrary, Zheng Yanfei listened with great interest, and even raised her hand to ask some questions and interact with Matteo, which made him feel very good about her.

Of course, the main reason she did this was to get more attention from Lin Shen through her own efforts.

Because she knew very well what Lin Shen's purpose was in bringing her to the Ferrari owners' club: to make more friends, expand her network, and lay the foundation for her career.

Therefore, Zheng Yanfei felt that she could be the one to help Lin Shen attract everyone's attention.

As expected, thanks to Zheng Yanfei's eagerness to learn, the guests present quickly remembered this charming and adorable Korean-style girl.

This also includes her "husband" Lin Shen.

He's so lucky to have married such a clever and quirky young woman!
Everyone felt a deep envy for Lin Shen.

Soon, Matteo's speech came to an end, and the crowd applauded.

Next, another organizer of the car club event walked to the center of the lawn to speak.

"Hello everyone."

The boy is about 1.8 meters tall and his outfit is very casual, but they are all new autumn styles from various luxury brands.

The watch on her left wrist is a Richard Mille RM35-03, with an estimated market value of around three million.

To be honest, the fact that he can wear such an expensive watch makes his identity quite obvious.

I guess he's the owner of that LaFerrari.

After all, the price of one of his watches is comparable to that of a Ferrari. He's probably the only one who can afford a LaFerrari.

Lin Shen, on the other hand, was quite interested in him.

"My name is Ma Zifan, and I am also the organizer of this Ferrari owners' club meeting. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend. Thank you in advance."

Ma Zifan bowed slightly in acknowledgment, his behavior was polite and proper, and his gentle smile made Lin Shen feel quite favorable towards him.

In addition, his speech and manner of speaking are very measured, which contrasts sharply with his appearance.

Because on the surface he is the kind of rich second-generation with a roguish charm, and his private life seems rather chaotic. He is a decadent young man who likes to indulge in a life of luxury and extravagance.

Who knew that he would speak so fluently, confidently, and generously, seemingly very skilled in interpersonal communication, without any of that arrogant or unruly air.

This person's background is probably not simple.

Lin Shen pondered silently.

"Now we'll move on to the second part of our activities: a tea break. A lunch will be served later by a top-notch chef I've hired. I hope you all have a great time."

Bang bang bang——!
Amidst enthusiastic applause, Ma Zifan smiled and bowed again before gracefully exiting the stage and letting out a sigh of relief in front of Zhao Jianing.

"Phew—! I was so nervous! I finally got it done."

"Are you nervous?"

Zhao Jianing glanced at Ma Zifan, then snorted disdainfully.

"You've seen so many big events, and you're nervous speaking at such a small car enthusiasts' gathering? Who are you kidding!"

"Isn't it because you're here?"

Ma Zifan smiled slightly, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at Zhao Jianing.

“As long as Jia Ning is watching over me, I will get nervous no matter the occasion.”

"Don't try to play the sentimental card with me!"

Zhao Jianing looked disgusted.

"How could I not know what kind of person you are?"

"We're in the same boat."

Ma Zifan spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

"A scumbag and a scumbag woman, aren't they a perfect match? How about giving me another chance?"

“I think you should go find those 18 or 19-year-old girls. They are more willing to accept you than an old woman like me.”

We are all still young.

Ma Zifan tried to hug Zhao Jianing, but she dodged to the side and said formally with a look of disdain.

“Mr. Ma Zifan, please control your behavior in public. Don’t embarrass your father. We’re just friends, not at the point where we’re putting our arms around each other.”

"Jia Ning, you still haven't forgiven me after all."

Ma Zifan's expression was slightly bitter, but his tone remained flippant.

"I came back from abroad just to see you. Isn't that sincere enough?"

"Brother, stop pretending to be in pure love, it's exhausting."

Zhao Jianing patted Ma Zifan on the shoulder like a buddy, then suddenly grabbed his arm as if he had just thought of something.

"However, I can introduce you to a nice friend. Come on, I'll take you to meet him."

"Is he your current boyfriend?"

After straightening his clothes, Ma Zifan spoke with unwavering confidence.

"Jia Ning, I'm not trying to be rude, but I've observed almost everyone who came to the car club, and there really isn't anyone who can match me in terms of wealth, appearance, or height."

"Jia Ning, if you find a boyfriend like this, I will be very disappointed."

"Get lost! I don't have time to talk about love like you do."

Zhao Jianing glared at Ma Zifan fiercely, and even kicked him without regard for her ladylike image, before pulling him to Lin Shen's side.

This made Ma Zifan pause in surprise.

He did observe the people who came to attend the Ferrari owners' club, but apart from Zhao Jianing, he didn't pay much attention to them.

Because he had long been accustomed to the sense of separation between upper and lower social classes in interpersonal relationships, he never invested too much energy in people who were inferior to him.

Ma Zifan generally won't befriend someone who has no value to him.

The social hierarchy within the Ferrari owners' club certainly didn't allow him to make friends.

He came mostly because of Zhao Jianing and Mr. Arima Tai'ao.

The two had met several times at high-end banquets and naturally became good friends.

Lin Shen was the only person Ma Zifan paid attention to at the meeting.

Firstly, because he got married young, he is easily remembered.

Furthermore, when a man is away from home, his wife's beauty becomes his appearance.

Judging by Zheng Yanfei's looks and figure, she is definitely among the top in this Ferrari owners' club.

She was prettier than the other girls, and even disregarding romantic feelings, Ma Zifan thought she was prettier than Zhao Jianing.

After all, youth is a girl's greatest asset in terms of appearance. A face full of collagen and a youthful, beautiful figure are things that many men desire.

Therefore, Ma Zifan remembered the name Lin Shen, along with his identity as the owner of Shennan Pet Industry.

Although Ma Zifan didn't even want to know about such a small company.

But unfortunately, Shennan Pet Shop is just too different.

Even Ma Zifan, who was abroad, saw many of Shennan's advertisements online after returning to China.

From bloggers with millions of followers to short pet-related videos.

In 70% of videos about pets, you'll see advertisements for Shennan.

How much money must have been invested in marketing and promotion!
They've really built up such a huge buzz?

Ma Zifan had to re-evaluate Lin Shen, feeling that this young man, who was a head taller than him, was quite extraordinary.

Most importantly, he's also very handsome!

As a boy, Ma Zifan had to admit that Lin Shen was one of the most handsome Chinese people he had ever seen.

He could even be compared to some top male celebrities.

With so many excellent interlayered advantages, Ma Zifan developed a considerable interest in Lin Shen.

Of course, Lin Shen thought the same thing.

Seeing Zhao Jianing arrive with her entourage, Lin Shen gently pressed down on Zheng Yanfei's small hand, which was reaching for the cake, and turned her around with a smile.

"Sister Jia Ning."

"Come to Lin Shen, let me introduce you to someone."

Zhao Jianing smiled and patted Ma Zifan hard on the back, causing him to stumble forward.

“Ma Zifan, he just introduced himself. Now I will give you a detailed introduction.”

"Male, 28, three years older than you. His family is in foreign trade and investment banking. I won't go into details, but he has shares in many companies, about the same age as you."

"If Shennan ever expands into overseas markets, you can just contact him, right?"

Zhao Jianing gave Ma Zifan a harmless smile, but only the person involved knew the murderous intent and danger hidden within it.

He sighed softly and offered his right hand to Lin Shen.

"Yes, Brother Lin Shen, I've noticed you since earlier. I'm very optimistic about Shennan, the company you founded. Do you need funding? If so, I can be your angel investor..."

"Thank you for your trust, but we're not considering this for now."

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

“Shennan is in its early stages, and it’s probably a long way off before it reaches the financing stage. Even if it does, with the assets I have, I probably won’t need to raise much capital.”

Oh?
Lin Shen's confident and magnanimous words stirred a strange feeling in Ma Zifan's heart.

Previously, the people he associated with all tried to get his funding and support through various subtle hints in their words.

Because the industries he invests in almost always develop into industry leaders in their respective fields.

Even if it's not number one, it's still within the top 5.

It can be said that Ma Zifan has a good eye for talent; 60% of the companies he chooses have a positive return on investment.

This is also why his father felt comfortable letting him gradually take over the family business.

But Lin Shen refused his kindness. This was the first time he had been rejected, and he had a different feeling about it.

This kid is pretty self-reliant!
"You two seem to have a pretty good relationship?"

More than Ma Zifan's identity, Lin Shen was curious about his relationship with Zhao Jianing.

Judging from their playful banter, their relationship is likely more than just that of ordinary friends.

Sure enough, when asked about this, before Zhao Jianing could even cover her mouth, Ma Zifan spoke with utmost sincerity.

"I am her ex-boyfriend."

"Would you die if you just shut up?!"

Zhao Jianing twisted Ma Zifan's arm hard, causing him to cry out in pain and complain to Lin Shen.

"See? That's her personality. I advise you not to be friends with her; she's very violent."

"Say it again!"

Zhao Jianing chased after Ma Zifan and started punching him all over the lawn. This bickering couple's way of getting along made Zheng Yanfei and Lin Shen exchange a smile.

"It doesn't feel like you two are the kind of people who would never speak to each other again after breaking up."

"Because it was an amicable breakup."

Ma Zifan smiled wryly as he dealt with Zhao Jianing.

“I met Jia Ning abroad. At that time, she had to return to China to develop her career because of family reasons, while I needed to familiarize myself with the business abroad and could not come back for a year.”

"That's why we broke up."

"So it's a long-distance relationship."

Lin Shen suddenly realized, but Zhao Jianing added a few points.

"Long-distance relationship my foot! He's just like you, having a wild time abroad, sleeping with tons of women. You really think he's so devoted? It's all an act!"

"Isn't it the same for you?"

Ma Zifan was speechless.

"We agreed not to break up, and you waited for me for a year. Who knew that after I came back, you would have already had several boyfriends!"

"At that time, I had already assumed that we had broken up."

"You should have told me first!"

"You're fooling around with other women, do I need to tell you?"

"Let's go over the cause and effect, okay? It was because I found out you had a boyfriend that I got involved with other women."

"Stop making excuses, you scumbag!"

"You're talking like you're not a scumbag."

Seeing the two arguing more and more intensely, Lin Shen quickly stepped in to act as a peacemaker.

"Alright, alright, let's leave it at that."

"I told you this woman would be difficult to deal with!"

Ma Zifan, as if he had found a comrade-in-arms, complained to Lin Shen.

"She actually said you're just as promiscuous as me, aren't you angry?"

"Did I said wrong thing?"

Zhao Jianing raised her face and gave a soft snort.

"His girlfriend is my best friend. Right now, my best friend is helping him manage his company, but he brought his mistress to the car club. What else could he be but a scumbag?"

"Cough cough!"

Faced with Zhao Jianing revealing his past, Lin Shen coughed a few times in slight embarrassment, unable to find a reason to refute her.

However, Ma Zifan's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he smiled and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Looks like we're kindred spirits! I'll take you out to have some fun sometime, let's have a good time."

"I've been quite busy with company matters lately."

Lin Shen gently put his arm around Zheng Yanfei's slender waist and politely declined.

"Furthermore, I don't enjoy partying and I'm very loyal in relationships." (End of Chapter)
