Chapter 616: Chapter 298: A New Car for the Senior

An acquisition?

Jiang Wan was a little stunned.

From what she understood, Shenwan Media currently had only ten people in total, including its signed streamers.

Calling it a startup was almost an overstatement. They were still in the foundational, formative stage.

And now he wanted to talk about acquisitions in the short-form drama space?

’Isn’t this a little too fast?’

But thinking it over, and considering Lin Shen’s personality, Jiang Wan figured there had to be a reason for his decision.

Given his temperament, he most likely wouldn’t want to partner with others.

The premise of a partnership is that both sides get what they need, leveraging their respective strengths to help each other.

Of course, the price for that was that with both parties sharing decision-making power over a project, disagreements could make it difficult to move forward.

After all, people are bound to have different ideas.

Knowing Lin Shen’s personality, he would absolutely hate to see a situation like that.

While he was usually gentle, he was much more decisive and assertive when it came to business decisions.

Therefore, he wouldn’t allow anything to interfere with his judgment.

’Besides, Lin Shen probably doesn’t need any outside help, does he?’

’He’s so rich, who couldn’t he hire?’

Most partnerships involve one person providing the money and the other providing the labor.

But with enough money, the ones providing the labor will naturally flock to you.

’Lin Shen probably thinks the same way.’

Once she understood Lin Shen’s thinking, Jiang Wan still felt the pace was a bit too fast, so she voiced her concerns.

"Aren’t we taking too big of a step? Right now, we’ve only gathered a few friends who are willing to work together—we’re not even a proper team yet. To establish a short-form drama department at a time like this..."

"Opportunities don’t wait for you."

Lin Shen smiled and explained.

"I’m just proposing a future plan and blueprint. The actual implementation will depend on the situation. You don’t need to worry too much. Just help me make the contacts."

"Besides, the holiday is coming up. We can talk about everything after it’s over."

"That’s right."

At the mention of the holiday, Jiang Wan’s interest was piqued. She asked with a grin.

"Lin Shen, what are your plans for the National Day holiday?"

"I’m planning to go home for a visit."

Lin Shen felt a pang of guilt, not daring to tell Jiang Wan that he was taking Qin Yuenan home with him.

"I haven’t been home in a long time. Plus, a childhood friend from my hometown is getting married and invited me to the wedding."

"So many people are getting married this year."

Jiang Wan agreed. Then, with a playful glint in her eyes, a mischievous little thought popped into her head.

"Lin Shen, you’re 25 and already successful. Isn’t it about time you thought about marriage?"

"Ahem!"

Hearing this, Lin Shen quickly cleared his throat twice.

’This is not a great topic to discuss!’

He’d gotten into an argument with Qin Yuenan over this very subject last time.

Although arguments were common between couples, and it wasn’t a serious fight, it had inevitably left some lingering tension.

Now that Jiang Wan was asking the same question, Lin Shen, who was usually so quick-witted, was at a loss and could only try to sidestep the topic.

"Isn’t it still early? People born in the 2000s are all getting married later. I can’t be the one to drag down the average."

"Oh, is that so?"

Jiang Wan’s eyes narrowed, the corners of her mouth curling into a half-smile.

"Well, I was born in ’99, you know. And 26 is the perfect age to get married. Don’t you have any thoughts on that?"

"Er..."

Seeing the usually eloquent Lin Shen suddenly stammering, Jiang Wan felt a secret thrill, like a child who had just pulled off a successful prank.

Her emotional intelligence was extremely high, so she naturally knew that it was impossible for Lin Shen to agree to marry her.

’If we got married, what would happen to all his old flames?’

’Especially Qin Yuenan. She’s a company executive and older than me.’

’If you were to rank the women around Lin Shen by who wants to marry him the most, this President Qin would probably be at the top of the list.’

’If I ever had any real thoughts about marrying Lin Shen, I’d probably end up in a direct confrontation with that aloof President Qin...’

To be honest, Jiang Wan felt that she was somewhat outmatched by Qin Yuenan.

Although they had never met, she had spent a good deal of time recently searching for information about Qin Yuenan online.

After all, as a high-level executive at Pet Guardian Home, she wasn’t an ordinary person. If one dug around and asked, there were bound to be rumors and whispers.

She had just resigned from Pet Guardian Home a while ago and immediately joined Shennan to help Lin Shen with his venture.

That kind of decisiveness wasn’t something an ordinary person possessed.

Therefore, based on these things, Jiang Wan could be certain that this Qin Yuenan was not someone to be trifled with.

’With my status as just his former advisor, it would probably be difficult to compete with her.’

This was also why Jiang Wan was willing to give up her free time after work, even though she knew nothing about business, to embark on this entrepreneurial journey with Shenwan Media.

Because in the future, when everyone involved was exceptionally beautiful and had a great figure, leaving no one with a distinct physical advantage, the ability to help Lin Shen in business would become the core of the romantic rivalry.

’I have Shenwan as my backing. No matter how I might fall short compared to Qin Yuenan, Lin Shen would never abandon me.’

That was why Jiang Wan was willing to do something she wasn’t good at—all in order to hold her own in the Chaotic Scene that was likely to come.

But right now, Shenwan was still immature. If she rashly started a conflict with Qin Yuenan, it would do a hundred times more harm than good.

So, when Jiang Wan brought up marriage, her only goal was to tease Lin Shen a little.

’He’s always out there living it up. I have to knock him down a peg in this regard!’
