Chapter 611: Chapter 295: The Senior’s Method of Comfort (Part 2)
Lin Shen’s vision for Shennan, coupled with the incredibly generous, people-first employee benefits, had completely captured the hearts of the staff.
It wasn’t that people hated going to work or hated their jobs; they hated when their effort wasn’t proportional to their reward.
Once they were compensated fairly for their workload, most people were more than happy to come to work.
Therefore, Shennan’s first-ever team-building event could be called a resounding success.
It all concluded with a large group photo of the entire staff, putting a perfect end to the Shennan company retreat.
"Time to go home!"
After seeing all the employees off, Lin Shen stood in the parking lot and stretched languidly, murmuring to himself as he gazed at the stars in the night sky.
"Nan, do you think Shennan will be successful?"
"Of course."
Qin Yuenan took the initiative to hold Lin Shen’s hand, her gaze softening immensely.
"With you leading it, Shennan will definitely become a top global Pet Industry Company within three years!"
"I hope so."
Lin Shen murmured. Just then, Xu Lei walked over slowly and gave a slight bow to him and Qin Yuenan.
"President Lin, President Qin, sorry I’m late. Where are we heading now?"
"Take President Lin home first, then me."
Qin Yuenan was the first to get into the back seat of the Maybach S680.
"Xu, thank you for your hard work."
"It’s no trouble."
Xu Lei said quickly, her eyes darting a subtle glance at Lin Shen as she couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.
’President Qin is really on guard against me.’
’She’s even having me drop President Lin off first, not giving me any chance to be alone with him.’
’If she gave me the chance to drive President Lin home, I might have ended up staying at his place tonight.’
’Unfortunately, it seems President Qin saw that possibility.’
’She really is a smart woman.’
Xu Lei mentally warned herself to be extra careful and never let any small detail slip in front of Qin Yuenan that might reveal her improper relationship with Lin Shen.
If she was discovered, her career as a secretary would probably be over.
At 9:00 PM, Lin Shen returned to his home at Sunac Binjiang No.1 Courtyard.
The first thing he did was grab a can of Coke from the fridge, sit on the sofa, and check his phone while he drank.
A mission for the "cracked" app, which he hadn’t progressed in for a long time, was finally completed.
[Direct Employee Recruitment:]
[Upgrade Mission: Organize a team-building event for all employees (Completed)]
[Direct Employee Recruitment Lv.6 → Lv.7]
[Decryption Effect: You will now receive a 55% → 60% cashback on the base salary when recruiting employees.]
[Reward: Random Employee Benefit x1]
[Upgrade Mission: Increase the number of company employees to over 100 through recruitment (54/100, Incomplete)]
’So the next step is to hire up to a hundred people.’
Lin Shen silently pondered how to complete this mission.
Shennan was already at capacity. After all, it didn’t have that much business to begin with, and forty to fifty people was already a relatively high number for a startup.
’If that’s the case, maybe I can recruit for a different company?’
’For example... Shenwan Media?’
A brilliant idea suddenly struck Lin Shen, but it would be difficult to implement.
It wasn’t that he had forgotten about his senior, Jiang Wan, and Gu Wanqing, but he was completely swamped with work at Shennan.
He was full of energy, but he was still just one person!
’I can’t just split myself in two to handle things on both sides, can I?’
’Still, I need to find a chance to get together with Senior Jiang Wan.’
Lin Shen thought to himself, then tapped on the employee benefit related to the [Team Building].
[Team Building Reimbursement: Your total expenditure of 120,000 has been fully reimbursed.]
"So satisfying!"
Lin Shen couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
He hadn’t expected that the gifts in the team-building gift packages and the MacBook Pros given as prizes were also included in the reimbursement.
’If I’d known, I would have given out more gifts.’
’What a shame.’
Lin Shen tried tapping on the employee benefit he had just received.
[Employee Benefit: Holiday Gift (Please distribute a Mid-Autumn Festival gift package on October 6th to all company employees. The cost per package should not exceed 10,000 yuan, and the expense will be reimbursed by the "Direct Employee Recruitment" app.)]
’Whoa!’
’A ten-thousand-yuan Mid-Autumn gift box?’
’I’ll have to put some thought into this one.’
Lin Shen hoped for more employee benefits like this; it would ease his worries about employees leaving Shennan.
Word might even spread, and more talented people would be drawn to join Shennan!
Lin Shen’s heart swelled with delight as he even began to fantasize about his own business empire.
Starting with Shennan Pet Industry and Shenwan Media, he would build up his commercial influence step by step!
With the system’s support, Lin Shen’s ambition grew ever larger.
So, he decided to act immediately, starting by contacting Jiang Wan, whom he hadn’t spoken to in a while.
[Lin Shen: Senior, what have you been up to?]
[Jiang Wan: Busy with the tasks a certain heartbreaker assigned me, of course.]
Just after he sent the message, Lin Shen found he’d been pulled into a group chat named "Shenwan Media" by Jiang Wan.
There were ten members in total, most of whom Lin Shen recognized.
They included Gu Wanqing’s roommate, Sun Jialin; Jiang Wan’s close former colleagues, Huang Qian and Liu Menghan; and her own roommate, Xu Lu.
There was even Sun Wenhao, the photographer Lin Shen had met the first time he’d taken pictures of Jiang Wan.
However, ever since Sun Wenhao learned about Jiang Wan’s relationship with Lin Shen and Lin Shen’s identity, he had stopped pursuing her.
This graceful exit had actually left a decent impression on Lin Shen.
’I can’t believe he’s in the group too.’
The remaining four seemed to be helpers Jiang Wan had recruited. They used aliases, but their display names listed their responsibilities, which included editing, post-production, and filming. It seemed they had all the positions needed for a fledgling media company.
[Jiang Wan: @All Members I’ve brought the big boss in.]
[Huang Qian: ?]
Huang Qian was the first to respond. The moment she saw Jiang Wan add Lin Shen to the group, she immediately welcomed him.
Following her, the others also chimed in with messages, and Jiang Wan introduced them one by one with an @mention.
[Jiang Wan: These are all Shenwan’s employees. Aren’t you, the big boss, going to show some appreciation? @Lin Shen]
Seeing this, Lin Shen’s lips curled into a slight smile, and he immediately sent out a "small" red envelope.
[Huang Qian: A 20,000-yuan red envelope? HOLY SHIT! The boss is loaded! Thank you, boss!]
Huang Qian tapped it open and saw two thousand yuan deposited into her account. She was ecstatic, hurriedly thanking Lin Shen and marveling at his generosity.
’He’s so rich!’
’Now that’s what a boss should be like!’
After claiming their share of Lin Shen’s red envelope, the others also thanked him profusely.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wan sent Lin Shen a private message.
[Jiang Wan: I just told you to make a small gesture, not send 20,000! Isn’t that a little too much?]
[Lin Shen: Too much? I don’t think so. After all, they’re the first batch of employees to support Shenwan. They naturally deserve some money as an incentive.]
[Jiang Wan: I see the big boss is just rolling in it (haha)]
Lin Shen wasn’t annoyed by Jiang Wan’s teasing; in fact, he was grateful for her support of his venture.
[Lin Shen: Senior, thank you. You’ve worked hard lately. How about we meet up tomorrow?]
[Jiang Wan: Sure! It’s not easy getting a chance to see such a busy man.]
[Lin Shen: Senior, don’t tease me. Things have just been really busy with the company lately, sorry.]
[Jiang Wan: I know you’re busy. You’ve worked hard, my dear Junior Lin Shen. How about I comfort you tomorrow?]
’Oh?’
Lin Shen’s interest was instantly piqued by Jiang Wan’s message.
[Lin Shen: How will you comfort me?]
[Jiang Wan: With a chest pillow, of course.]
Right after that message, Jiang Wan sent a picture.
It was of her, fresh out of the shower and wearing a bathrobe. Her hair was still damp, and her cheeks were flushed pink from the steam.
Two fair, slender legs extended from beneath the hem of her robe as she sat on the edge of her bed, taking a mirror selfie. It gave off a socialite vibe, a stark contrast to her usual gentle and virtuous image.
This was typical of Jiang Wan’s style.
Ever since she and Lin Shen started dating, their chat conversations could be described as downright risqué.
They would even send photos that could never be made public.
Jiang Wan had no fear that Lin Shen would leak them, so she became increasingly daring.
Like right now:
Lin Shen’s eyes were immediately drawn to the large, fair area. The neckline was clearly intentionally left wide open, revealing a deep cleavage that seemed capable of swallowing a man’s very soul.
’Senior Jiang Wan’s assets are just too terrifying!’
A fire suddenly ignited within Lin Shen.
Normally, a picture like this would be dismissed as a random photo from the internet.
A slender figure with such an ample bust seemed to defy common sense; pictures like that were usually photoshopped.
But Jiang Wan’s figure was the real deal, as Lin Shen had experienced firsthand.
[Jiang Wan: So? Do you want to rest your head on your senior’s chest?]
