Chapter 83 The Big Sister's Invitation

Lin Shen felt a surge of emotion, then waved to greet them.

"Hello!"

"Wait a long time?"

Jiang Wan approached Lin Shen with a gentle smile, and then introduced them to each other.

"Her name is Xu Lu, she is my college roommate, and we are currently sharing an apartment."

"This is Lin Shen, the junior who is one year younger than us, whom I told you about."

So handsome!

After looking Lin Shen up and down, Xu Lu covered her mouth with one hand in surprise, shook his hand nervously, and exclaimed.

"You've changed so much! I remember you were pretty ordinary in college, how come you've become so handsome in the last few years? Do you have any secrets? I'll have my boyfriend try it too."

"Exercise more, eat more fruits and vegetables, stay up less late, and most importantly..."

Lin Shen chuckled softly.

"Take good care of yourself."

"I understand."

Although Lin Shen's words were all very general, and even just the tips for becoming more handsome that are often mentioned online.

But in real life, how many people can do all of that?
The mere fact that they don't stay up late is enough to exclude a large number of people.

Seeing Xu Lu nod in agreement, Jiang Wan smiled and asked Lin Shen for a favor.

"Could you please take her to the company?"

"of course."

"This is not good..."

Xu Lu was polite for a moment, but seeing that Lin Shen didn't mind, she happily got into the back seat of the Jaguar XFL.

"Thank you."

Once inside the car, Xu Lu was surprised to find that the rear seat space was incredibly spacious for her 165cm height, and she could even move her legs around comfortably.

So she immediately took out her phone, took a picture of Lin Shen sitting in the driver's seat and Jiang Wan in the passenger seat, and then posted it on her WeChat Moments with a caption.

[I also got into my best friend's boyfriend's car! I hope they'll be happy together forever!]
A short while later, Xu Lu's boyfriend sent her a message.

[Stinky Pig: Honey, I saw your post on WeChat Moments, did Sister Jiang Wan find a boyfriend?]
[Xu Lu: Yes~]
[Stinky Pig: Her boyfriend is no ordinary guy. A Jaguar XFL costs over 400,000 yuan to get on the road, and people who drive that kind of car are usually very low-key. You can never really figure out his financial situation.]
[Xu Lu: They are indeed very capable, but you are no less so (love you)]
*
Lin Shen drove Xu Lu to her workplace and suddenly noticed several mobile breakfast vendors selling breakfast on the street.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan asked with great insight.

Have you had breakfast?

"No."

"Then I'll go buy some steamed buns."

After getting off the bus, Jiang Wan went to a small stall and bought a few meat buns and a cup of soy milk, then returned and handed them to Lin Shen.

"Eat."

"Thank you."

While Lin Shen was having breakfast, Jiang Wan briefly explained the shops she was going to visit that day.

There are four stores in total, and they are not far apart from each other.

After glancing at the map, Lin Shen began to make plans while eating.

"First, I checked in at those two dessert shops, then at noon I checked in at this Japanese restaurant, and finally at this DIY craft restaurant."

"I think so too."

Jiang Wan smiled gently. Seeing that there were still food crumbs on Lin Shen's lips, she took out a wet wipe from her bag and wiped them off for him before throwing them into a small trash bag she had prepared.

"Shall we go to the first dessert shop first?"

"Ah."

Seeing that Lin Shen had finished his breakfast, Jiang Wan casually took the trash from his hand. This gentle and considerate gesture made him feel flattered, and he chuckled lightly, teasing her.

"Senior Jiang Wan, whoever marries you will be getting the best deal ever!"

"How about I let you have this bargain?"

Jiang Wan asked in return with a smile, and Lin Shen readily agreed.

"Of course, I'd love to."

"Stop being silly and focus on driving."

They both knew the other was joking, but who can say for sure that there wasn't a hint of truth in those jokes?
Lin Shen turned the steering wheel with his left hand and brought up the most popular playlist with his right, letting the melodious tunes slowly resonate.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan suddenly began to hum along softly.

"I may possess a thousand charms, but I am certainly not a good man."

Who could be so lucky as to have given their life to the wrong person?

Jiang Wan's gentle voice had a unique charm when she hummed this kind of Chinese-style song with its charming melodies.

Lin Shen was immediately captivated by the chorus upon first hearing it, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Senior Jiang Wan, I didn't expect you to sing so well."

"so so."

Jiang Wan tucked her hair back a little shyly.

"I learned some singing techniques when I was a child, but I gave up because I realized I didn't have much talent."

"She can dance and sing, she's very talented."

Lin Shen praised it.

Compared to a career-oriented, aloof, and mature woman like Qin Yuennan, a gentle and kind older sister like Jiang Wan might be more appealing to men.

However, Lin Shen was greedy; he liked both of them.

That depends on the individual's skill and modeling ability...

Lin Shen drove for more than half an hour before finally finding the dessert shop located in the alley.

Half a spoonful of Milky Way.

"..."

The moment Lin Shen saw the name, he understood why this store needed to advertise to attract customers.

This shop name is so artsy!
If it weren't for the ice cream sign in the bottom right corner of the signboard, who would know this is a dessert shop?

Lin Shen followed Jiang Wan into the store, and the interior decoration caught his eye.

The space is small but highly efficient. The overall style is retro, with alternating dark red and beige wall colors. Different areas and booths are divided by arches and wooden partitions.

Furthermore, a phone booth and phonograph-themed wall has been created on the right side of the reception area, making it a great spot for girls to take photos and check in.

Of course, in addition to the interior decoration style, you also have to look at the quality of the desserts to judge whether a dessert shop is suitable for you.

"Hello." Upon seeing a customer enter the store, the shop owner immediately came out from behind the counter to greet her and recognized Jiang Wan at a glance.

"You must be 'Shuiyanwei', right?"

"Yes."

"Hello!"

The shop owner shook hands with Jiang Wan and smiled politely.

"I am Zeng Chang, the owner of this store. Welcome to visit our store and promote our business!"

"It's just a collaboration, you don't need to be so polite."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Zeng Chang, he led Jiang Wan and Lin Shen to the most comfortable private room in the shop.

The dark brown sofa paired with the wooden floor creates a strong retro atmosphere.

There was even an old-fashioned radio and vinyl records on a table in the corner, showing that a lot of thought had been put into the decoration.

"I would like you to recommend a few of the shop's main desserts so I can serve them to you one by one, is that alright?"

"it is good."

After Zeng Chang left, Jiang Wan asked Lin Shen.

What do you think of the ambiance of this store?

“Pretty good.”

Lin Shen looked around, casually scanned the code on the table, glanced at the menu, and shook his head.

"The desserts are a bit pricey, with the cheapest costing over thirty yuan."

"This time it's all free!"

Jiang Wan blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled charmingly.

"And there's a guaranteed minimum reward of 600 yuan. If the number of likes is high, the commission might even exceed 1,000 yuan!"

"How much money do you make?"

Lin Shen raised an eyebrow, looking slightly surprised.

He really didn't expect that a product recommendation blogger like Jiang Wan could earn hundreds or thousands of yuan from a single commercial order!
Or is it simply because she has a lot of fans?

"Actually, this is considered low."

Jiang Wan explained to Lin Shen.

"Some product recommendation bloggers who use professional equipment can earn several thousand yuan from a single commercial order."

"I'm still a newbie. If it weren't for the recent increase in my Xiaohongshu followers, I probably would only have two or three hundred."

Do you also have an account on Xiaohongshu?

"Have."

Jiang Wan showed Lin Shen her social media account on Xiaohongshu, which has the same name as her Douyin account, and her number of followers has exceeded 200,000.

"Douyin is mainly for shooting videos, while Xiaohongshu is mainly for making travel guides."

"You seem to be quite busy."

Lin asked with concern.

"Your main job is as a counselor, and in your spare time you still have to edit videos and prepare copy. You don't have a team to help you. Isn't that tiring?"

"I'm tired."

Jiang Wan smiled wearily, but there was little complaint in her words.

"But as long as I can make money, all this hard work is worth it."

"..."

It's not easy for anyone!
Lin Shen sighed inwardly. At that moment, Zeng Chang personally brought out the dessert.

Its appearance is somewhat like a volcano, with its surface decorated with a lot of things that look like raisins and hawthorn pieces, and two Oreo cookies stuck on the top.

"This is called the Basque Lava Burst."

Zeng Chang introduced himself.

"Its surface is especially crispy with charred spots, and the inside is a molten cheese filling that bursts out when you cut into it."

"Although it looks a bit sweet, it's served with raspberry sauce to cut through the richness. Cheese lovers should definitely try it."

"You can introduce it like this when the time comes."

"Ah."

Jiang Wan silently wrote down the boss's introduction in her phone's notes app, then smiled and looked at Lin Shen.

"Please take a picture for me."

"it is good."

Lin Shen took out a camera from his bag, which surprised Jiang Wan slightly.

"You really bought it?"

"Brother Sun recommended it to me so strongly, how could I not buy it?"

Last night, Lin Shen looked up some information online to learn how to take more aesthetically pleasing photos of food.

The learning efficiency was surprisingly high.

This made Lin Shen suddenly realize that the "improvement of shooting skills" in the [Photo Album Camera] also included the aspect of "learning how to take pictures".

Those technical terms and photography knowledge that he didn't understand before, he now understands completely at a glance.

This sparked Lin Shen's sudden and intense interest in photography.

After all, once a person realizes that they have talent in certain areas, they will quickly come to like and develop a passion for it.

Lin Shen first found the right angle and used a macro lens to capture a close-up of the dessert's details.

He then had Jiang Wan lean forward and rest her head on the table, looking out the window with her face turned to the side.

He then stood up and moved away, incorporating the desserts, portraits, and store environment into the photo to enhance the sense of scene.

Finally, Jiang Wan pretended to eat dessert with a spoon, demonstrating the cheese-pulling process.

"It's done!"

Once the process is completed, there's absolutely no need to go through it a second time.

After Lin Shen showed the photos he had taken to Jiang Wan, she was full of admiration.

"Wow, amazing! Lin Shen, you're really talented at photography!"

"It's just something I like; I wouldn't call it talent."

Lin Shen said modestly, and Jiang Wan's smile widened even more upon seeing this.

"Since you like photography so much, how about I be your model from now on?"
