Financial Independence through Cracked Apps
Chapter 198 - 145: A Spontaneous Trip
Because the train departed so early, the only two people in the entire business class car were Jiang Wan and Lin Shen.
Having the whole place to themselves was a pretty great feeling!
After Lin Shen and Jiang Wan found their seats, two female attendants came over specifically to help with their luggage and said with a smile.
"Sir, Ma’am, hello. This storage compartment contains slippers, an eye mask, a blanket, and sanitizing wipes."
"You will arrive at Qin Island Station at 12:25 PM. We will be serving lunch midway through at 11:30 AM. If you need anything, please press this call button. We wish you a pleasant journey!"
"Okay."
After the attendants left, Jiang Wan adjusted her seat to a comfortable, fully reclined position and then curiously examined the little gadgets around her.
There was a vanity mirror that opened from the side, a small foldable tray table, and an eye-friendly reading light.
You could say the service was truly meticulous in every detail.
"Can I take a picture?"
Jiang Wan took out her phone, looking a little excited.
"It’s my first time in business class. I want to commemorate it."
"Of course. It’s not like photography is forbidden here. Take all the pictures you want."
Lin Shen chuckled lightly, feeling that at this moment, Jiang Wan was finally showing her uniquely girlish, cute and charming side.
It was a huge departure from her usual mature and composed self.
Lin Shen was quite fond of this contrast.
After exploring the novel experience of business class with Jiang Wan for a while, the drowsiness from waking up early washed over them. They both leaned back in the zero-gravity seats, closed their eyes to rest, and peacefully caught up on sleep.
However, thanks to his unusual Spirit Attribute, Lin Shen quickly recovered his energy.
When he woke up, he found Jiang Wan beside him, fast asleep with a heated eye mask on, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He didn’t disturb her, instead taking out his phone to start handling matters related to the Cat Cafe.
First, he checked in with Lin Ping to remotely supervise the shop next door and see how the renovations were coming along.
Ever since that night at Shen Mingchuan’s house, Lin Shen had noticed a subtle change in his beautiful mistress’s usual behavior.
Before, she had been the shy and reserved type. If Lin Shen didn’t contact her, she would never take the initiative to bother him, appearing exceptionally well-behaved and obedient.
Now, however, she had actually started sending him messages on her own initiative to report on the renovation progress.
She would even ask about his daily life and share interesting stories.
She seemed to be trying, consciously or not, to get closer to Lin Shen and build a connection. He was quite pleased with this change.
After all, he didn’t like passive women, especially not in a mistress-type relationship.
’I’m already spending money to keep you, and you’re going to play the innocent act with me?’
’Get lost!’
’The word "passive" should be in the same category as "slow to warm up," and they can both get the hell out!’
Besides, as a married woman, her mature allure was her defining feature, and that’s what Lin Shen wanted to see more of from Lin Ping.
Fortunately, she was slowly improving in this regard and showing Lin Shen her Charm.
For example, she would proactively ask for his opinion on her outfits, and Lin Shen would usually give her suggestions based on his own preferences.
Although Lin Ping’s figure wasn’t as good as Qin Yuenan’s, who exercised regularly, nor did she have Jiang Wan’s exceptional natural gifts,
her strengths lay in the voluptuous softness unique to a young matron.
Therefore, Lin Shen recommended form-fitting clothes that would accentuate her figure.
For instance, bodycon slip dresses, slim-fit cheongsams, and office-lady-style outfits.
Paired with different styles of black stockings, of course.
After all, Lin Ping didn’t have legs like Qin Yuenan’s—the kind you could admire for a year. Her legs needed the help of black stockings to look their best.
Dressed like this, her sexy and mature matronly Charm was on full display.
Lin Ping herself seemed to love the change in her fashion style. After all, the stunned gazes from those around her didn’t lie.
Women of any age enjoy looks of admiration and praise.
Once, when she wore a bodycon dress recommended by Lin Shen to a dinner with friends, everyone said she had gotten more and more beautiful since her divorce from Shen Mingchuan.
This made her revel in the compliments, and she grew to embrace this kind of sexy, fiery style.
In truth, she had always liked this style, but when she was married, she felt there was no need to dress so boldly.
But now, free from the constraints of marriage, she could boldly and freely unleash her matronly allure.
[Lin Ping: In that case, when I go to the mall to pick out clothes, can I ask you to help me take a look, President Lin?]
[Lin Shen: No problem.]
’I love helping girls pick out clothes.’
The corners of Lin Shen’s mouth curled up. After his casual chat with Lin Ping ended, he asked Zhou Bin, the lead designer from Jutong Horizontal Installation, for a status update.
The reply he received was that the renovation would need about five more days to be completed.
This was already the fastest they could possibly go.
After all, in just ten short days, they were converting an ordinary spicy chicken pot restaurant of over 100 square meters into a Cat Cafe with a unique, Instagrammable, cozy, and relaxing style.
The efficiency of such a rush job was something that likely only Jutong Horizontal Installation, one of the top three firms in Modu’s industry, could achieve.
And this was after Lin Shen had paid extra.
He had originally considered offering even more money to buy more time, but Zhou Bin had refused with a wry smile.
His exact words were: "President Lin! This really isn’t a matter of money. You’ve already given us more than enough. If we try to shorten the timeline any further, the quality of the renovation will suffer."
Left with no alternative, Lin Shen had to drop the matter.
He then began to consider his plans for after the Cat Cafe’s renovation was complete, including marketing strategies, where to source the cats, and how many employees to hire.
