Financial Independence through Cracked Apps-Chapter 100 - 97: The Undisturbed Business Class Seat
"Mmph—!"
Outside the train window, the towering high-rises and shadows of trees lining the tracks sped past.
Inside the cabin, Lin Shen was once again tasting the sweetness of Qin Yuenan’s lips.
Now that she was past her previous inexperience, her technique, guided by Lin Shen, was gradually becoming more practiced.
Qin Yuenan’s eyes were hazy. Her chest once again grew restless and unbearable, and her whole body unconsciously curled up, pressing closer into Lin Shen’s embrace.
She seemed to be growing fond of the way Lin Shen smelled.
No, that wasn’t right. It was more like she was deeply infatuated.
A fresh, clean scent of hay—pure and simple. It was a scent no woman could possibly dislike.
They say that as a couple exchanges saliva more often, their scents begin to merge, and even some of their habits start to align.
Qin Yuenan felt that she was in exactly this state right now—
comfortable, relaxed, and having reached a state of spiritual and physical union with Lin Shen.
It was such a wonderful experience that Qin Yuenan found herself lost in his kiss, unable to pull away.
And, though she couldn’t be sure if it was just her imagination, she felt that Lin Shen’s kissing skills had improved yet again.
His tongue was more agile than before, and his mouth was filled with an intoxicatingly fresh scent of mint.
It smelled so good.
This physiological attraction made it impossible for Qin Yuenan to resist the scent.
She was like a traveler who hadn’t had water for days in the desert, desperately drinking from an oasis she had just found.
Her neck arched, her beautiful eyes squeezed shut.
It was as if she were surrendering everything to Lin Shen, letting him savor her lips as he pleased.
This rather immersive and proactive response surprised Lin Shen a little.
’Looks like Nan’s a quick learner,’ he thought. ’She gets better every time.’
Feeling Qin Yuenan’s active reciprocation, Lin Shen’s own passion surged, and his hands began to wander naughtily over her body.
But she quickly stopped him.
"I have to meet people later."
Qin Yuenan whispered. Pulled from the sensual haze with Lin Shen, she suddenly remembered she had something very important and formal to do today.
So she gently pushed his broad chest away, her face flushed. It was hard to tell if it was from shyness or from the excitement of their passionate kiss rushing to her head.
Lin Shen noticed that although Qin Yuenan had a chilly personality, she blushed easily. And she didn’t resist his more outrageous requests too fiercely, just tried to reason with him.
’Could it be that deep down, she isn’t really that assertive?’
Lin Shen suddenly remembered a line he had once seen online.
"The colder and more goddess-like a woman is on the outside, the more she craves being taken care of and given firm commands. She might even have more latent M-tendencies than the average person."
’No, it couldn’t be true... could it?’
"Stop kissing me for now. If someone sees us after we get off the train and gets the wrong idea, it could affect the company’s image."
Qin Yuenan whispered the explanation, afraid Lin Shen would misunderstand.
And he wasn’t an unreasonable person.
After pulling away from Lin Shen’s embrace, Qin Yuenan first straightened her collar and skirt, then took out a compact mirror and began touching up her makeup.
After all, her lipstick had been all but "eaten" off.
Lin Shen, meanwhile, took out his phone and reviewed the tasks he needed to complete for his hacked apps.
Sports Health: Walk 50,000 steps.
GoGo Maps: Check in at a hotel.
Camera and Album: Take a set of photos with the theme "Intimacy."
Shuaiyang: Completely conquer one goddess.
’Looks like all four of these will be easy to complete.’
Lin Shen mused to himself.
Seeing him staring at his phone in silence, Qin Yuenan, her makeup now fixed, gently tugged at the corner of his shirt and leaned in to ask curiously.
"What are you looking at?"
"Work stuff."
Lin Shen said with a light laugh, affectionately wrapping an arm around Qin Yuenan’s shoulders.
"When I get back, the renovations on that Cat Cafe I took over should be almost done. I’m thinking about how to handle the promotion."
"Want me to help you with the planning?"
Qin Yuenan offered.
"I’m in charge of operations, but I know a thing or two about marketing and planning."
"No need, I already have a plan."
Lin Shen smiled faintly.
His plan to promote the Cat Cafe was simple: advertise on Douyin, the short-video platform with the most traffic.
First, he’d get the name out there.
Lin Shen considered that the Shuaiyang app’s Decryption Effect gave a 20% rebate on all spending on Douyin.
Most people, upon seeing this, would probably think of tipping streamers.
But what Lin Shen saw was a 20% discount on advertising fees.
Plus, the startup fund from GoGo Maps could easily cover these costs.
Therefore, if Lin Shen wanted to hire those Douyin influencers with millions of followers to advertise for him, it would be almost zero cost!
He might even make money!
’This doesn’t count as intentionally cashing out, right? I’m just using my ingenuity to create a synergy between the effects of two hacked apps, Shuaiyang and GoGo Maps.’
Lin Shen mused to himself.
Seeing him lost in thought, Qin Yuenan didn’t disturb him. Instead, she leaned against him and took out her laptop to work.
Soon, the train arrived at Jinling Station.
"Sir, ma’am, hello. We’ve arrived at Jinling Station."
A young female attendant came over to inform Lin Shen and Qin Yuenan of their arrival and helped them with their luggage.
Such thoughtful and attentive service was certainly worthy of the several-hundred-yuan price for a business class seat.
After disembarking, they could even use a special, much less crowded exit channel.
Not long after Qin Yuenan and Lin Shen emerged and looked around, two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes approached them with smiles.
"You must be President Qin?"
"Yes."
After confirming Qin Yuenan’s identity, one of the middle-aged men took her suitcase, while the other politely extended his right hand and introduced himself.
"President Qin, a pleasure. My name is Wang Shuo, general manager of the company’s Jinling branch. This is Chen, from HR."
At his words, Qin Yuenan gave a very cool and distant nod, then introduced Lin Shen, who was standing beside her.
"This is my assistant, Lin Shen."
’Assistant?’
Wang Shuo blinked, stunned, and his gaze subconsciously sized Lin Shen up.
The advance notice he’d received about Qin Yuenan’s visit hadn’t mentioned an assistant, so he had only booked a room for one person.
The sudden appearance of an extra person in her entourage had caught him off guard.
Besides, Lin Shen really didn’t look like an assistant.
With his handsome, tall appearance and sunny, confident aura, you’re telling me he’s President Qin’s subordinate?
’If anything, he seems more like the president...’
Plus, his clothes were remarkably casual, not at all formal. He looked more like a tourist.
That’s why Wang Shuo had initially overlooked Lin Shen.
But he was an old hand, so he recovered instantly and took the initiative to greet him.
"Hello. President Qin’s assistant, right? If you two would please follow me."
"Mm."
Led by Wang Shuo, the four of them got into a Toyota Alphard.
Just then, Wang Shuo, sitting in the front passenger seat, whispered to Chen, who had just gotten into the driver’s seat.
"Book another hotel room for the assistant. Somewhere near the Ritz-Carlton will do."
"No need."
Lin Shen’s hearing was sharp. He had overheard their whispering and chuckled.
"The company has already arranged my accommodations."
"Is that so."
Wang Shuo laughed awkwardly, then began to fuss over Qin Yuenan, asking if she was tired from the journey and other such pleasantries.
She, however, merely gave slight nods. Her attitude wasn’t exactly cold, but it certainly couldn’t be described as polite or warm.
But Wang Shuo seemed to be familiar with Qin Yuenan’s aloof personality. He wasn’t the least bit offended; in fact, he became even more enthusiastic, proactively pointing out the scenery along the way and mentioning places worth visiting in Jinling.
Lin Shen listened, silently committing these places to memory.
After a drive of about forty minutes through Jinling City, the group arrived in front of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Its design blended modern architectural styles with elements of Eastern culture. The pale blue glass curtain wall shimmered brilliantly under the sun.
After getting out of the car, Lin Shen gazed up at the forty- or fifty-story luxury hotel. Staying at a Ritz-Carlton for the first time, he was inwardly amazed.
’So this is the kind of place rich people stay at?’
’It really is extravagant!’
While Lin Shen was marveling to himself, a doorman proactively took their luggage and asked.
"Which room are you in, esteemed guests?"
"Not so fast."
Qin Yuenan waved her hand, intending to go to the front desk and upgrade to a suite.
But Lin Shen beat her to it, asking the young lady at the front desk first.
"Hello, can we upgrade to the presidential suite?"
Huh?
Qin Yuenan’s heart skipped a beat at Lin Shen’s question, and Wang Shuo’s face was a mask of astonishment.
’The presidential suite?’
’Dude!’
’The presidential suite at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel is thirty thousand a night! How could the company possibly reimburse you for something so expensive?!’
’Unless... he’s paying for it himself?’
Just then, Wang Shuo’s gaze fell on the green-and-gold Daytona on Lin Shen’s left wrist. With his high EQ, a startling idea popped into his head.
’That watch looks incredibly expensive. If it’s real, what kind of assistant can afford a Rolex like that?’
’Which means... it’s highly likely Lin Shen isn’t Qin Yuenan’s assistant, but her boyfriend!’
’In that case, his move to upgrade to the presidential suite makes perfect sense.’
’He’s just using this business trip as an opportunity to stay with Qin Yuenan.’
Speaking purely as a man, Wang Shuo suddenly felt a twinge of envy for Lin Shen.
After all, he’d managed to land a cold, aloof, goddess-type like Qin Yuenan—the epitome of an untouchable beauty.
She was rich and beautiful, not to mention her figure was incredible.
Aside from her chilly personality, you could say she was flawless.
Dating someone like that... he’s basically won at life!
Wang Shuo couldn’t help but sigh internally, while Qin Yuenan quietly tugged on Lin Shen’s sleeve, her elegant brows furrowing slightly.
"A regular suite is fine. Why are you upgrading to the presidential suite?"
"When we’re on vacation, we should obviously stay in the best place."
Lin Shen said casually, his main principle being that if you’re going to travel, you should be there to enjoy yourself.
Besides, he had other considerations.
You see, a standard room definitely wouldn’t have something like floor-to-ceiling windows.
And when Lin Shen stayed in hotels, he was rather fond of them.
First, at night, you could look out over the entire city’s nightscape. If you were swirling a glass of red wine, you’d feel like the master of the whole city.
You can’t imagine how satisfying that feeling is!
Second, floor-to-ceiling windows had other... wonderful uses.
For example...
For a girl to hold onto.
