Chapter 382 - 198: Talking Business
Hm?
Lin Shen was just about to message Shen Yun about mass-producing pet food. He didn’t expect them to be on the same wavelength—she messaged him first.
As usual, she sent a photo first to whet Lin Shen’s appetite.
In the picture, Shen Yun was wearing a rare tiger-print slip dress that hugged her hips. It not only revealed her sensual shoulder line and delicate collarbones but also outlined her voluptuous and graceful figure.
The deep cleavage created by the dress was particularly stunning, looking as if it might spill over at any moment.
Her style was still bold and sexy, but now it had a touch of wildness, as if she’d never been tamed.
The corners of Lin Shen’s mouth curved up as he typed his reply.
[Lin Shen: Aunt Shen, you’re looking younger and more beautiful every day. You didn’t suddenly message me just because you miss me, did you?]
[Shen Yun: Why not? I’ve been thinking about you day and night ever since we last met.]
[Shen Yun: [Photo]]
[Shen Yun: Here’s the proof~]
!?
The second photo Shen Yun sent gave Lin Shen a shock. Fortunately, the crucial parts were censored; otherwise, she might not have been able to send it at all.
’A mature woman is really on another level!’
Lin Shen smiled helplessly.
[Lin Shen: I understand you miss me, Aunt Shen. But if that was all, you would’ve come to find me directly instead of just asking if I was free. Am I right? You must have something else you want to discuss.]
[Shen Yun: Shen, you really know how to read a woman’s heart~]
[Shen Yun: You’re right, there is something else. I have a close friend who wants to meet you. She’s in the toy manufacturing industry, primarily acting as a supplier for Yiwu and overseas clients.]
[Shen Yun: Her business hasn’t been doing too well lately, so I was thinking she could do what I did—convert one of her production lines to make pet toys, like teaser wands, chew bones, and so on.]
[Shen Yun: If they get a good response at your store, she could become your supplier. What do you think?]
[Lin Shen: That’s no problem at all!]
Lin Shen suddenly sat up in bed, his expression one of pleasant surprise.
He had been worrying about where to source cat toys, and now Shen Yun had already thought a step ahead for him and contacted a friend of hers directly!
This was a huge help!
[Lin Shen: Thank you for connecting us, Aunt Shen.]
[Shen Yun: It’s mutually beneficial. Of course, she’s still a bit hesitant, so it’ll be up to your powers of persuasion to convince her, Shen.]
[Lin Shen: Leave it to me.]
Lin Shen hadn’t been very confident before, but with all the positive feedback Shennan Pet Society received today, he was gradually recovering the flamboyance and pride of his youth from his previous state of anxiety.
He was confident he could make the "Shennan" brand name famous throughout the country within a month!
[Lin Shen: I’ll convince her.]
[Shen Yun: Then it’s settled. What time are you free tomorrow?]
[Lin Shen: The morning would be best. The sooner we talk, the sooner I can relax.]
[Shen Yun: Okay, then let’s meet on the terrace at the Ritz-Carlton tomorrow at 10 a.m. Just ask the staff to bring you up. I’ll be waiting.]
[Lin Shen: Okay.]
After finishing his work-related chat with Shen Yun, Lin Shen posted the photos taken at the store today to Xiaohongshu. He wrote a caption imitating other "store-exploring" bloggers, touching it up slightly.
And just like that, he completed the Big Blue Book’s mission.
[Big Blue Book:]
[Upgrade Mission: Please publish a post about "store-exploring" and gain 40,000 followers (Completed)]

[Reward: Basic Experience Book x1]
[Upgrade Mission: Please publish a post about "pets" and gain 80,000 followers]
Oh-ho!
’Pets?’
Lin Shen was amused. It felt like the Big Blue Book’s last two missions had played right into his hands.
It would be easy to put something together.
The 80,000 followers, however, would be the tricky part of the mission.
Lin Shen glanced at his 60,000-plus followers and realized that gaining fans on Xiaohongshu was not even one-tenth as fast as on Douyin.
Besides, the two social media platforms had completely different styles.
’Maybe I need to post more luxury goods.’
After a moment of thought, Lin Shen took a picture of the Royal Oak watch Qin Yuenan had given him and published the post.
There was no extra text in the caption; it was just a simple flex.
But some users on Xiaohongshu really ate this stuff up!
[Your watch is so hot, big bro! I want to be your ho~]
[Your wrists are so sexy, ahhh! I’d let you choke me ’til I pass out!]
"..."
Lin Shen was already used to these blush-inducing comments.
He curled his lip in disdain, closed Xiaohongshu, and opened Douyin, curiously searching for Su Youji’s account.
On it was a photo set posted six hours ago, a series of pictures taken at Shennan Pet Society.
It already had over 100,000 likes, and most importantly, they were photos from her daily life, not cosplay pictures.
This just went to show how high her fan engagement was.
In the photos, Su Youji wasn’t striking any particular poses. She was simply interacting with Sun, her face filled with a sweet, genuine smile.
Such a pure and natural look reminded Lin Shen of Gu Wanqing.
She had been at military training during this time, so the two of them could only chat at night.
’Maybe I can go visit her after her training is over.’
Lin Shen lay in bed, his thoughts drifting. When he came back to his senses, he realized that at some point, Shuaiyang and Douyin had opened on their own.
And naturally, the mission was completed successfully.
[Upgrade Mission: Please collaborate with a major Douyin blogger with over four million followers (Completed)]
