Chapter 535: Chapter 257: A Gathering of Shennan Executives
She hadn’t even felt this way when she first met Qin Yuenan!
After all, Qin Yuenan’s image and style were completely different from hers.
She was a cool and aloof professional woman, and on top of that, she was President Lin’s official girlfriend.
As a married woman, she naturally couldn’t be a rival to her.
But the woman before her now was different!
She and this woman both had a mature style. If she was also one of President Lin’s women, then her own competitiveness would be drastically reduced!
Because Lin Ping knew very well that the reason she had won Lin Shen’s favor was largely due to her status as a "married woman" and her mature, sexy appearance.
However, once a substitute for these qualities appeared, her own position by President Lin’s side would be in jeopardy.
After all, the woman before her had a fuller figure and a more stunning appearance.
’Is this the advantage that comes with age...’
Lin Ping felt a knot forming in her chest, silently praying that the other woman didn’t have a close relationship with President Lin.
’Maybe she’s going to the 14th floor for another company?’
DING—!
The elevator reached the 14th floor, and Lin Ping and the woman stepped out together.
Just then, the woman took the initiative to speak, her soft and seductive words carrying a soul-stirring charm.
"You’re an employee at Shennan, too?"
"Yes."
As the saying goes, when you’re out and about, you make your own status.
Although Lin Ping felt a deep-seated insecurity because of her background, she was, after all, Lin Shen’s woman and represented his image.
So she took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and stepped forward to shake the woman’s hand with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Lin Ping. I’m the general manager of Shennan’s Customer Service Department."
Oh?
Upon hearing Lin Ping’s introduction, the woman raised an eyebrow, the corner of her mouth curling into a half-smile.
"Then we’re in the same line of work."
Huh?
Before Lin Ping could react, the woman shook her hand up and down and gave a captivating smile.
"Shen Yun, chairman of Yuan Youwei Food Co., Ltd. I’ve accepted an invitation from President Lin Shen to come to Shennan and serve as the general head of supply chain management."
Huh?
Shen Yun’s self-introduction caught Lin Ping completely by surprise.
’She’s the chairman of Yuan Youwei, that food company?’
’She already has a primary job, so why come work at Shennan?’
Lin Ping couldn’t quite figure it out, but she was certain of one thing: this woman named Shen Yun was no simple character.
"From now on, we’ll be colleagues. I hope we can get along harmoniously."
Shen Yun smiled meaningfully.
’Anyone Lin Shen appoints as a senior executive is either exceptionally capable or someone he trusts implicitly.’
’Clearly, the woman before me falls into the latter category.’
’As for why Lin Shen would trust her so much... I doubt the reason needs much explaining.’
’Shen really has his charm. All the women around him are so beautiful.’
While Lin Ping was marveling at Shen Yun’s stunning looks, Shen Yun was also sizing her up.
This woman, who looked to be in her thirties, not only hadn’t lost her figure, but her curves were even full and graceful.
Moreover, she took good care of her face. Her features were well-proportioned, and while not immediately breathtaking, she was the type who grew more captivating the longer you looked.
Most importantly, with her soft and gentle beauty, you could tell at a glance that she was the type of woman with an obedient and mild-mannered personality.
’This kind of sensible woman is the most suitable type to be a lover.’
’I’m afraid her relationship with Shen is anything but ordinary.’
The curve of Shen Yun’s lips widened further as she walked side-by-side with Lin Ping into the office area.
Their arrival immediately caused the sixty-plus Shennan employees at work in the office area to turn and stare, their gazes filled with intense amazement and admiration.
’What a pair of sexy women.’
’One has that unique charm specific to a mature married woman, while the other’s aura is that of a sophisticated and stunningly beautiful older woman.’
’Either one of them alone would be enough to be the most dazzling sight in any company.’
’But here they were, appearing at Shennan at the same time.’
’Add Qin Yuenan to the mix, and this company is practically a gathering place for beautiful women!’
’I definitely came to the right place!’
Many of the male employees were secretly delighted, but a discerning few understood that all these beautiful women probably belonged to Lin Shen...
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—!
Shen Yun and Lin Ping arrived at the door of the general manager’s office. After they knocked, Lin Shen’s familiar, deep male voice came from inside.
"Come in."
After pushing the door open and entering, Lin Ping was surprised to find the small office packed with people.
Not only were Qin Yuenan and Lin Shen there, but also two men she had never seen before.
"Let me make the introductions."
After Lin Ping closed the door, Lin Shen smiled and started his introductions with Qi Hao.
"This is Qi Hao, 35 years old, a Ph.D. graduate from the Royal Veterinary College, London. He will be the general manager of Shennan’s future Medical Department, responsible for the company’s pet healthcare initiatives."
"Hello, everyone."
After Qi Hao greeted everyone with a smile, Lin Shen pulled Yang Han up from the sofa.
Unlike Qi Hao’s poised and confident demeanor, Yang Han was more of a socially awkward type. He subconsciously adjusted his glasses, his gaze darting away, looking very much like a bookworm who wasn’t good with words.
Seeing this, Lin Shen smiled and patted his shoulder comfortingly.
"Don’t be nervous. We’re all on the same team here."
"Mmm."
It wasn’t that you could blame Yang Han for being nervous; the four women in the office were truly stunning enough to fluster him.
Qin Yuenan, Shen Yun, Lin Ping, and the secretary, Xu Lei.
Each one of them, taken individually, was a goddess pursued by countless men, yet here they all were, gathered in the same small office.
This made Yang Han, who didn’t have much contact with women, a little nervous.
Lin Shen seemed to see through his anxiety and immediately put an arm around his shoulder to introduce him to the others.
"His name is Yang Han, 28 years old, with a Master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences from Oxford University."
Oxford University?
Such a high level of education truly shocked everyone present.
Qi Hao graduating from the Royal Veterinary College, London had already been a shock, and now there was a Master’s from Oxford University?
’Where did Lin Shen find so many talented people?’
"He is the future general manager of our Shennan Pet Breeding Department, in charge of matters related to pet rearing, and also the director of the Shennan Pet Breeding Center."
"Hello, everyone."
After Yang Han finished his greeting, Shen Yun tucked a strand of hair back and introduced herself.
Last was Lin Ping.
She was more reserved and introverted, speaking in a soft and gentle tone, a stark contrast to a captivating and alluring mature woman like Shen Yun.
Once everyone had been introduced, Lin Shen clapped his hands together and smiled.
"Today was just about getting everyone together to get to know each other. In a little while, when Shennan holds its first all-hands executive meeting, I will assign your primary duties."
"After all, Shennan is still in its startup phase with very few employees, so the projects you’ll all be in charge of are just empty promises for now."
"For the time being, everyone can focus on their own affairs. Once the company’s business is on the right track, I’ll make further arrangements."
"Okay."
Everyone nodded and then left the office one after another.
Only Lin Ping remained behind, looking like she wanted to say something but was hesitating.
Lin Shen raised an eyebrow, took Qin Yuenan’s hand, and chuckled.
"You and Lei go to the conference room and interview the new hires first. I’ll be over in a bit."
"Okay."
Qin Yuenan was very smart; she knew Lin Shen wanted to talk to Lin Ping alone.
Although she nodded in agreement on the surface, inwardly she felt a little suffocated.
Ever since she learned about Lin Shen’s relationship with Shen Yun, Qin Yuenan had started to feel like every woman around him had designs on him.
’If this keeps up, isn’t Shennan going to become his harem?’
Qin Yuenan felt she had to get the situation under control, so as she passed by Lin Ping, she shot her a warning glance.
Lin Ping could, of course, sense that "main palace" aura coming from Qin Yuenan. She didn’t even dare to look up as she passed by.
It wasn’t until she had left the office that Lin Ping finally let out a soft sigh of relief.
"Is something the matter?"
Lin Shen smiled and walked over, wrapping his arm around Lin Ping’s slender waist. His hand expertly came to rest on the curve of her waist and hip, feeling her full and graceful shape.
"I haven’t even seen you for a day, but I feel like your figure has gotten even better. Have you been working out recently?"
"I’ve been practicing some yoga recently."
Lin Ping’s pretty face flushed slightly as she kept glancing back, terrified that someone might suddenly push the office door open.
Seeing her reaction, Lin Shen’s hand grew even more audacious, caressing Lin Ping’s shapely rear as the corner of his mouth curved into a wicked smile.
"Relax. Without my permission, no one would dare push this door open. You can say whatever is on your mind."
"Um..."
Lin Ping chose her words carefully, then said in a small voice.
"The season is changing, so I went to the mall and bought you a few autumn outfits. I was thinking of finding a time to give them to you, but you’ve been so busy, so I didn’t dare to bother you..."
"If you’re not busy today, could you come over to my place?"
