"Congratulations on completing the 5km run! Your time is 25 minutes and 2 seconds."

So fast?
Lin Shen, who was jogging downstairs, stopped and was quite surprised when he saw the numbers displayed on his watch.

Keep in mind that he had just barely broken the 30-point mark a few days ago, and had been stuck at 29 points ever since.

The result is that I have now reached 25, and I am not even red in the face or out of breath, and I still have energy left!

I feel like improving by another half a minute per kilometer wouldn't be a problem!

"This background module is indeed very useful."

Lin Shen was not arrogant, because he knew very well that the five minutes of progress he made were all thanks to the "youth" background, which boosted his physical attributes to 88, far exceeding the level of ordinary people.

If we remove it, it will probably take a lot longer.

Lin Shen took out his phone and tried it. Sure enough, after removing the "Youth" background, he immediately felt exhausted and his breathing became heavier.

Immediately afterwards, he added the "Sunset" to boost his spirits in order to cope with the stretching and recovery after exercise.

"call--!"

Lin took a deep breath, went upstairs to take a shower, tidied himself up, picked up his car keys, and headed to the university town.

He had arranged to meet with Jiang Wan today to interview the part-time college student she brought.

Lin Shen never imagined that one day, he, as an employee, would be able to interview others.

This made even the "interviewer" a little nervous.

But it's okay.

After experiencing so much, Lin Shen's way of handling things has become more mature and steady.

This small matter can be handled.

Lin Shen filled up his Leopard with 98 gas and quickly drove to his destination.

9 a.m., Starbucks.

Lin Shen walked into the store and looked around, quickly spotting Jiang Wan sitting in the corner.
Across from her sat a man and a woman, who, judging from their attire, were probably the college students applying for part-time jobs today.

"Lin Shen!"

Upon seeing Lin Shen, Jiang Wan immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.

After he got closer, he took the initiative to introduce himself to his students.

"This is the senior Lin Shen I told you about."

"Lin Shen, his name is Zhang Kaile, and her name is Yuan Meng. They are both students I have taught."

"Hello, senior!"

The two men shook hands with Lin Shen warmly and greeted him politely, both appearing somewhat shy and reserved.

"Please have a seat."

Lin Shen smiled and nodded, then sat down next to Jiang Wan. After exchanging a few pleasantries to warm up the atmosphere, he got straight to the point.

"Please introduce yourselves first."

"Ok."

Zhang Kaile introduced himself first, followed by Yuan Meng.

Lin Shen listened attentively and gained a general understanding of their life experiences.

Both are sophomores at Shanghai International Studies University and have experience raising pets. Their families are ordinary working-class families.

Both of them are easy-going and friendly types. Lin Shen could tell from their tone and manner of speaking that they were the college students often jokingly referred to online as having "clear but foolish eyes."

She's not particularly cunning, but she's very clever.

This type is best suited for the service industry.

"So, what do you think are the three most important things that a cat cafe employee should pay attention to?"

Lin Shen asked the second question of his interview today, and the two gave different answers.

Zhang Kaile believes in putting customers first, since the essence of a cat cafe employee is to be a waiter, and the quality of service to customers is of paramount importance.

Yuan Meng, on the other hand, felt that taking good care of the cats was more important, as their healthy growth was essential for the cat café to stay open for a long time and attract more customers.

Actually, both of their answers were correct; they just had different focuses.

Based on the answer to this question, Lin Shen had a general idea of ​​their job assignments.

Finally, he asked with a light laugh.

"Do you have any special skills that you could use in a cat cafe?"

“I know how to use a coffee machine because I used to work part-time at Luckin Coffee.”

Zhang Kaile brought it up on his own initiative, and Yuan Meng was not to be outdone.

"I know a little about feline pathology because my family used to have cats, and I studied it carefully."

"I see."

Lin Shen nodded seriously.

"After our first meeting, I feel you're both very capable. How about I take you to a cat cafe?"

"it is good."

After obtaining their consent, Lin Shen turned to look at Jiang Wan.

"Senior Jiang Wan, do you want to come along?"

"That's for sure."

Jiang Wan teased with a smile.

“This is your first step in starting a business, so I need to help you see if there are any shortcomings.”

"Then I'll have to trouble you to give me some pointers, Senior Jiang Wan."

The way the two were joking and teasing each other stirred Yuan Meng's heart. Finally, unable to resist the innate gossip in girls, she asked with a face full of curiosity.

"Teacher Jiang, what's your relationship with the senior student?"

"What do you think?"

Jiang Wan took Lin Shen's arm and let Yuan Meng guess. Such an intimate gesture made her answer without thinking.

"Couple?"

"My guess is wrong."

Jiang Wan turned to look at Lin Shen and smiled.

"I'm pursuing your senior, Lin Shen, and I'm just waiting for him to agree to be my boyfriend." Huh?
This answer startled Yuan Meng and Zhao Kaile. After exchanging glances, they both saw astonishment and disbelief deep in each other's eyes.

It's worth noting that Jiang Wan was among the most popular students at school.

Even at Shanghai International Studies University, where beauties abound, she stood out from the crowd, even overshadowing many other campus beauties.

After all, no man can resist the charm of an "older" woman.

That's why Yuan Meng was so surprised.

How could someone so popular be someone else's suitor?
Yuan Meng secretly glanced at Lin Shen again, seemingly having found the reason behind it.

It's very simple: Lin Shen is just that good enough!

He has a handsome and refined appearance, a well-proportioned and muscular physique, and a privileged family background.

When all these qualities come together in a man, it's not impossible for a girl to pursue him.

But it would be strange if he didn't agree!

Is there a better candidate?
"Stop teasing me."

Lin Shen said helplessly, which made Jiang Wan stick out her tongue and pretend to be innocent.

"Alright, I'll let you off this time."

Afterwards, Lin Shen drove the four of them to Warm Paw Cat Cafe.

Sitting in the back of the Jaguar XFL, Yuan Meng and Zhang Kaile looked around in amazement, gaining a clearer understanding of Lin Shen's wealth and power.

He looks to be only around 24 or 25 years old, yet he can afford such a luxurious car?
Judging from their family background, they must be quite extraordinary!

Yuan Meng and Zhang Kaile's worries were largely alleviated.

At first, when the two heard from Jiang Wan about a part-time job with a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, they thought it was a scam.

However, trusting Jiang Wan, they still applied for the job.

Judging from the other person's appearance and clothing, Lin Shen was likely a rich second-generation heir who could afford to pay wages.

This put their minds at ease.

Warm Paws Cat Cafe.

Today is the second day of the business being closed for renovations.

Yesterday, Zhou Bin brought a construction team to the store. They first moved various building materials and surveyed the site. They also tidied up the house and put the coffee machine, tables, chairs, and other items, along with the cat, in the warehouse behind the store.

Today is the first day of the official renovation.

“Buzz buzz—!”

"Crack——!"

"Bang bang bang-!"

Various noises could be heard as the renovation workers busied themselves.

Although the noise was quite loud, the cats didn't seem to be stressed; they just hid in the corner of the cage and didn't come out.

Seeing this, Lin Ping felt sorry for the cage, so she brought a blanket and covered it with the cage to make it soundproof.

If she's really scared of a cat, she'll just bring it home and keep it there for the time being.

When Lin Shen arrived, what he saw was a half-finished storefront covered by the "Jutong Hengzhuang" billboard.

"They're pretty quick."

Lin Shen smiled awkwardly; it was impossible to bring people on a tour under these circumstances.

So he led Jiang Wan and the others to the back of the warehouse, where they saw Lin Ping feeding and watering the cats.

"boss!"

Upon seeing Lin Shen, Lin Ping's eyes lit up. She immediately wiped her hands on her apron and walked over with a gentle smile.

"You've arrived."

"Ah."

Lin Shen stepped aside to allow both sides to introduce themselves.

"These two are the shop assistants I hired, and this is my senior from university, Jiang Wan."

"This is Lin Ping, the manager of this cat cafe."

"Hello."

After shaking hands with Yuan Meng and Zhang Kaile, Lin Ping understood why Lin Shen had brought them here, so she took the initiative to speak.

"Since the shop is under renovation, how about I show you the cats?"

"it is good."

Led by Lin Ping, the group arrived at the warehouse.

Yuan Meng and Zhang Kaile clearly love cats, and their interactions with them are very professional.

In addition, the cats working in cat cafes are generally very friendly, so people and cats get along very well.

After looking at them, Lin Shen decided to hire them, and slammed his hand on the table.

"Let me tell you about the job requirements first."

Upon hearing Lin Shen's words, Yuan Meng and Zhang Kaile both stared at him expectantly, which made him cough lightly twice.

"Eight thousand a month, thirty days of work, Monday to Friday from 10 am to 5 pm, lunch provided, weekends extended to 8 pm, lunch and dinner provided."

"Zhang Kaile will be the barista, and Yuan Meng will be in charge of taking care of the cats and serving customers. If there are no problems, you can come when the store opens."

"it is good."

Seeing the two nod in agreement, Lin Shen then looked at Lin Ping beside him.

"You can teach them then."

"Good boss."

Lin Ping nodded in response, and then led Zhang Kaile and Yuan Meng to learn the cat's name.

Get to know the cat first, then you'll be able to work more efficiently.

Seeing this, Lin Shen glanced at Jiang Wan beside him, seemingly thinking of the agreement the two had made yesterday.

So he nudged Jiang Wan's arm, and when she turned her head in confusion, a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.

The meaning is self-evident.

Jiang Wan blinked her beautiful eyes, understood the meaning behind Lin Shen's expression, and then rolled her eyes at him.

However, she did not refuse, but instead called out to the three people who were interacting with the cat.

"I'll go get something from the car for Lin Shen. You guys talk first."
