Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Zifan froze.

According to Zhao Jianing's description of Lin Shen, he has a girlfriend who helps him manage the company.

However, he is now bringing another beautiful and sophisticated female college student to the Ferrari owners' club meeting.

This kind of two-timing behavior of a scumbag doesn't seem to have anything to do with "faithfulness" at all, right?
"that……"

Ma Zifan looked slightly embarrassed, while Zhao Jianing directly exposed his little scheme.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. How can he be faithful? Ever since I first met you through Nan Nan, do you know what she complained about you about most?"

"which aspect?"

"That's trash!"

Zhao Jianing pointed at Lin Shen's chest with her index finger, feeling utterly speechless.

"What's wrong with Nan Nan? She's beautiful and has a figure like a supermodel. Apart from being a bit aloof, isn't she good to you? You have to be a womanizer! I feel sorry for Nan Nan."

"Hey, don't say that."

Before Lin Shen could offer any explanation, Ma Zifan moved closer to him, putting his arm around his shoulder in a very intimate manner, as if he were on the same side as him.

"Do you women care if a man is unfaithful? As long as he's capable, isn't that enough?"

"Would you like a man who is of average appearance, average family background, average height, and has a particularly gentle personality, even if he is devoted to relationships?"

Seeing Zhao Jianing honestly shake her head, Ma Zifan put on an air of knowing everything.

"Oh, that's right."

"For a girl like you who is exceptionally talented in terms of wealth, looks, and figure, the most crucial element for a man is his ability."

“Look at our brother Lin Shen. He’s tall with a muscular chest and abs, and his looks are comparable to those of a top male celebrity. He also comes from a very good family and has started his own business, which shows that he has outstanding personal abilities. At least he doesn’t have any major shortcomings in interpersonal communication and dealing with people.”

"Men like this are very popular; many girls like them. So it's not that he's a womanizer, but rather that there are too many temptations around him, don't you think?"

When the topic was brought up to him, Lin Shen didn't say anything directly, but Zheng Yanfei nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Brother Lin Shen is very outstanding."

"Do you mind if he likes other girls?"

"As long as I'm one of the girls he likes, I can pretend I don't know about the others."

Zheng Yanfei said shyly in a low voice, which greatly shocked Ma Zifan, who quickly called Lin Shen aside to ask for advice.

"Dude, how did you manage to get her to obey you? Teach me! How do you make such a pretty and young girl so obedient?"

"Knowing you have a girlfriend, she's still willing to be with you?"

"Both emotions and money require effort."

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

"Of course, you also need to have excellent personal charm."

"Girls hate 'simps' the most and like guys who are unique and capable the most, which is what is known as 'admiring strength'."

"Many boys in society know this, but they always get carried away in relationships and can't wait to express their feelings for the other person."

"Unfortunately, sincerity can only be reciprocated when you are good enough; a genuine heart without any embellishment will only be ruthlessly abandoned."

"Therefore, boys need to package their sincerity through fitness, exercise, skincare, improving daily routines, enhancing learning abilities, and seeking money-making opportunities, so that they will not be hurt by others."

"She's ordinary, I'm outstanding, so she just wants to rely on me, like me, forgive my scumbag behavior, and can't get rid of me no matter what, that's how it is."

After a long and eloquent discussion, Ma Zifan's eyes gleamed with an unusual light, feeling that he really resembled Lin Shen.

"You think about the same thing as me!"

As if he had found a kindred spirit he hadn't seen for many years, Ma Zifan put his arm around Lin Shen's shoulder and chuckled.

"Dude, I think we're really meant to be. How about we add each other on WeChat?"

"it is good."

This was the first time Lin Shen had added a male friend of his own age. Before, he had added either female friends or business partners who were much older than him.

If we exclude the roommate's boyfriend, who is a rich second-generation friend, Ma Zifan should be the first friend Lin Shen made after he became successful.

"Then can you give me a clue, what kind of evil business does your family do?"

As Ma Zifan grew closer to Lin Shen, he began to wonder about his family background.

"It feels like there's a high chance that your Shennan ads will appear under any pet-related video on the internet."

"Do you have a partnership with ByteDance?"

"This is not."

Lin Shen explained calmly.

“I’ve invested a lot of money in marketing and promotion, because the pet industry is all about marketing.”

"Indeed it is."

Seeing Ma Zifan nod, Lin Shen became curious about his family background.

Are you also planning to enter this industry?

"This is not."

Ma Zifan chuckled.

"I mainly believe you will succeed in the future, so I thought about investing in your potential."

“My family has always been in the financial industry, including stocks, options, bonds, and so on. Of course, the most profitable part is the company’s dividends.”

"Some companies, both domestic and foreign, have a stake in our Malaysian Investment Group."

Ma Zifan listed some of the well-known domestic and international companies he has invested in.

The vast majority of these are companies in the fields of electronics technology and AI, with very few in the physical industries such as clothing and food.

The pet industry that Lin Shen started is one of the industries he is optimistic about.

This was also the first time Ma Zifan had proactively introduced his company's information to someone he had just met.

He really wanted to be friends with Lin Shen, and he always felt that this young man would be successful in the future.

Lin Shen was also touched by Ma Zifan's sincerity and felt that he might be a good friend.

And so, even on their very first day of knowing each other, the two chatted and laughed like old friends who had known each other for years, letting down their guard as strangers.

This made Zhao Jianing, who was not far away, sigh inwardly.

Male friendships are really strange.

Just an hour ago, the two were wary and suspicious of each other, but as they chatted, they became like good friends.

"Could this be called colluding with each other?"

Zhao Jianing chuckled and shook her head, then suddenly felt a tug on her sleeve.

She glanced to the side and noticed Zheng Yanfei looking flustered, as if she wanted to strike up a conversation but didn't know how to say it.

It's like a child who has made a mistake and wants to beg for their parents' forgiveness, their expression revealing self-reproach.

Seeing this, Zhao Jianing was suddenly touched, and then smiled and took Zheng Yanfei's arm.

"Is there a problem?"

"Um... regarding Brother Lin Shen's romantic relationship, I was indeed wrong."

Knowing that Zhao Jianing was Qin Yuenan's best friend, Zheng Yanfei immediately lost some of her confidence in front of her.

After all, she is not yet ready to confront Qin Yuennan head-on.

If she comes knocking on our door, the whole school will probably be talking about her being a mistress to a rich kid.

Therefore, Zheng Yanfei hoped that Zhao Jianing would not tell anyone about this, so she took the initiative to admit her mistake and pleaded with him.

"Could you please not tell Lin Shen's girlfriend about this?"

"Why? Give me a reason." Although Zhao Jianing appeared kind, she was actually quite indignant on behalf of her best friend.

After all, Qin Yuennan was so good to Lin Shen. She not only understood his womanizing ways, but even resigned from her million-dollar annual salary job to help him manage his startup.

The difficulties and troubles involved can only be understood by those directly involved.

But Qin Yuennan not only had no complaints, she even put in more effort and dedication than when I worked at Chongyou Home.

As her best friend, Zhao Jianing saw all her efforts and naturally felt sorry for her sometimes because she didn't have any personal space.

Lin Shen, on the other hand, happily brought his mistress to the car club meeting, acting as if nothing had happened.

This made Zhao Jianing feel indignant about her best friend's sacrifices, so she took her anger out on Zheng Yanfei.

"You're my best friend's rival now, you could even call her the other woman. How can I face my best friend if you ask me to cover it up for you?"

"Well..."

In fact, Zheng Yanfei was well aware that what she did was definitely wrong.

But there was nothing she could do; she had fallen for Lin Shen.
Therefore, Zheng Yanfei could only show weakness in front of Zhao Jianing, lowering her head and pretending to look pitiful.

"Actually, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with Brother Lin Shen. I fell in love with him, even knowing that he had a girlfriend."

"But I really can't control my feelings for him. Can you give me some time to sort things out?"

"Once I've sorted things out, I'll talk to your best friend about this. Even if she hits me then, I'll accept it."

"My best friend is not a violent person."

Zhao Jianing snorted softly, seeing that Zheng Yanfei did not seem to be taking advantage of her kindness, and even her words were full of respect for Qin Yuenan.

This did somewhat ease her anger.

At least she was aware of her role as a mistress.

Seeing that Zheng Yanfei was still young and had realized her mistake, Zhao Jianing couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Haven't you thought about what will happen next? Do you think you can replace my best friend and take her place next to Lin Shen?"

"No no no!"

Zheng Yanfei quickly waved her hand and shook her head in denial.

“I never thought I could become Lin Shen’s official girlfriend. I’m already very satisfied as long as I can stay by his side.”

"Of course, if you insist on making me leave, I can accept it..."

Seeing Zheng Yanfei putting on a pitiful victim act again, Zhao Jianing felt like she had done the bad guy.

its not right!
Standing on the moral high ground, why would I feel that this shouldn't be done?
It seems I really don't need to interfere too much in other people's relationships. Nan Nan has her own thoughts, and all I can do is prevent her from getting hurt.

After some thought, Zhao Jianing glanced at Zheng Yanfei and suddenly realized that this girl was quite cunning.

Their expertise in green tea is absolutely top-notch!

Knowing they had done wrong, they deliberately lowered themselves in order to gain others' pity.

In addition, her appearance does indeed evoke feelings of pity and tenderness.

Ultimately, after Zheng Yanfei took the initiative to admit her mistake, Zhao Jianing felt too embarrassed to say anything more to her and instead adopted an indifferent attitude as if it were none of her business.

"It's up to you. Anyway, if you dare to ruin the relationship between my best friend and Lin Shen, I'll be the first one to come after you!"

"Don't blame me for getting rough with you later... *slap*!"

Before Zhao Jianing could finish speaking, Zheng Yanfei suddenly grabbed her hand and slapped herself hard across the face.

The movement was so large that it startled her.

Because she could even feel the reaction force coming from it, such great force directly left five red marks on Zheng Yanfei's delicate cheek.

"what are you doing?"

Zhao Jianing pulled her hand away from Zheng Yanfei's. Her heart, which had been filled with resentment and anger, suddenly felt inexplicably panicked.

She secretly glanced at Lin Shen not far away, and after seeing that he was still chatting with Ma Zifan, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked in confusion.

Why are you hitting yourself? Is this some kind of self-inflicted injury ploy?

"This is what I deserve."

Zheng Yanfei's expression remained as calm as ever, but her flushed cheeks and sweet smile gave her a pitiful look.

"If you do something wrong, you should be punished."

"It wasn't serious enough for me to hit you. I was just joking..."

Zhao Jianing was genuinely surprised.

She just wanted to scare Zheng Yanfei and give her a warning so that she wouldn't have any special feelings for Lin Shen and thus ruin his relationship with Qin Yuennan.

She didn't actually hate Zheng Yanfei that much.

As a result, she slapped herself, which made Zhao Jianing feel like she was the bad guy, and she couldn't feel any disgust towards her anymore.

She's already like this, what else can I do for her?

If we really force her to leave Lin Shen, given her personality, she might do something even more extreme.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Jianing quickly rubbed Zheng Yanfei's flushed cheeks and asked her with concern.

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Zheng Yanfei pressed her cheek against Zhao Jianing's palm and said with a grin.

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Jia Ning."

"..."

Zhao Jianing was silent for a moment, then said quietly.

"I will no longer interfere in your affairs with Lin Shen."

"hey-hey."

Zheng Yanfei chuckled and then asked curiously.

"Sister Jia Ning, what does Brother Lin Shen's real girlfriend look like?"

"You two haven't met yet?"

"How could I possibly have seen this before..."

Right!

If we had met, the situation would probably be very different today.

Zhao Jianing thought for a moment, then took out her phone and showed Zheng Yanfei a photo of herself and Qin Yuennan.

Inside, she wore a black evening gown, looking aloof and stunningly beautiful, with a graceful and slender figure.

Zheng Yanfei was shocked when she saw it.

"Wow, she's so beautiful! Is she Lin Shen's girlfriend, Qin Yuenan?"

"Hmm, isn't it beautiful?"

Every time Qin Yuennan's stunning beauty is shown to others, Zhao Jianing, as her best friend, feels a sense of pride from the bottom of her heart.

"Now you know how formidable your competitors are, right?"

"Yes, I'm no match for her at all."

Zheng Yanfei outwardly appeared weak, but inwardly she began to ponder silently.

Judging from her appearance, Lin Shen's girlfriend seems to be the kind of person who is outwardly friendly but inwardly warm.

Perhaps if I just use the same "bitter trick" again, showing weakness and praising her, she won't care about anything.

Now I have the right to stay by Brother Lin Shen's side! (End of Chapter)
