Chapter 559: Chapter 270: Social Interaction
What do you mean?
Zhao Jianing paused for a moment, then instantly understood what Lin Shen meant.
For rich kids from the upper class like them, aside from making friends and networking, the biggest purpose of a Ferrari club meetup was to find a significant other.
Of course, it leaned more toward just having fun.
Therefore, the basic requirement for men to sign up was owning a Ferrari, while for women, it was being exceptionally attractive.
It was similar to a matchmaking event.
As one of the organizers for this Ferrari club meetup, Zhao Jianing was naturally well aware of this.
She just hadn’t expected Lin Shen to understand it so clearly as well.
If you wanted to maintain your single persona, you came alone.
If you didn’t want to find a "temporary girlfriend" at the meetup, you brought your own date.
Lin Shen naturally fell into the latter category.
"Oh, so that’s what you meant."
Zhao Jianing playfully nudged Lin Shen’s chest with her elbow and teased him.
"So you brought your ’little sister’?"
"Mhm."
Lin Shen smiled faintly.
"I’m just here to make friends, and to broaden my horizons with you, Jianing."
"You need me to help you broaden your horizons?"
Zhao Jianing snorted softly, then gestured with her chin toward Zheng Yanfei, who was waiting obediently nearby. She then covered her mouth, trying to hide a laugh.
"There, go get your little sister. If you don’t, I’m afraid she’s about to get another ’big brother’."
?
Lin Shen’s expression faltered. He turned to look and was surprised to see a guy had walked up to Zheng Yanfei and was hitting on her.
Lin Shen was so annoyed he had to laugh.
’Seriously, dude? I’ve been gone for less than ten minutes, and you’re already trying to steal my girl?’
’Or is the little girl’s Charm just too powerful? Even these Rich Men who drive Ferraris can’t resist?’
"Hey, beautiful. Are you also here for the Ferrari club meetup?"
The man initiated conversation with Zheng Yanfei and introduced himself, his eyes scanning her up and down, filled with sheer amazement.
’What a beautiful girl!’
’Her outfit and makeup are both so exquisite, and most importantly, she’s so young!’
’I can’t believe I’d run into such a top-tier beauty at this meetup!’
The admiration in the man’s eyes gradually turned into burning desire.
"My name is Huang Luo. I’m one of the car owners at this meetup. Would you be interested in getting to know each other?"
"Sorry."
Zheng Yanfei waved her hand apologetically. When she saw Lin Shen walking over, she trotted straight to his side, clung tightly to his arm, and hid half of her body behind him, saying in a sweet, delicate voice,
"Brother Shen, you’re finally back."
"I went to talk to someone about something."
Lin Shen’s gaze shifted from Zheng Yanfei to Huang Luo’s surprised expression. He raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile,
"Hi, I’m Lin Shen. Do you need something with my girlfriend?"
"Oh, she’s your girlfriend! My apologies, my apologies!"
Huang Luo was a reasonable guy. As soon as he heard Zheng Yanfei had a boyfriend, he immediately offered Lin Shen a two-handed handshake with an apologetic look on his face.
"I didn’t realize she had a date. Man, your girlfriend is gorgeous. I’m Huang Luo, nice to meet you?"
"Mhm."
Seeing that Huang Luo, aside from being a lecher, didn’t seem to have any real malicious intent, Lin Shen couldn’t be bothered to hold it against him.
After all, ignorance is no crime.
After some small talk that was clearly aimed at building connections, Lin Shen and Huang Luo got a basic understanding of each other.
His family was in the building materials business, similar to an interior design company, and had made a lot of money over the years by collaborating with other corporations.
But with the recent economic downturn, business had been sluggish, leaving his family deep in debt and him very agitated.
So he decided to come to the club meetup to relax and see if he could find any potential business partners.
So, when he heard that Lin Shen was the founder of Shennan Pet Industry, Huang Luo’s eyes instantly lit up as he showered him with praise.
"So you’re the boss of Shennan? I know that brand! It’s the one that’s been super popular on TikTok recently, right? The one that did a short film with Shui Yanwei!"
"That’s amazing, little bro! I never would’ve guessed. You’re three years younger than me, but you started your own business all by yourself! And you’ve made it so successful. I really need to learn from you."
"Is it cool if I add you on WeChat? If you need renovations for your physical stores later on, you can come to me! I’ll use the best building materials for you! And I’ll even give you a 20% discount!"
"Sure."
The simplest ways of talking business are often the most straightforward.
Lin Shen had thought the club meetup would be a gathering for a bunch of young people to eat, drink, and have fun. Who knew it would immediately turn to business talk and exchanging contact information?
’It really is all about benefits in the end!’
Lin Shen shook his head.
The moment he heard Huang Luo’s family company was on the verge of bankruptcy, he lost all interest in collaborating with someone like that. He gave a noncommittal response and quickly looked for an excuse to slip away.
"I’m going to go sign in first. See you later."
"Alright!"
After leading Zheng Yanfei away, Lin Shen didn’t forget to tease her by gently pinching her small nose.
"You’ve got quite the Charm, huh? I was only talking to someone for a few minutes, and someone was already hitting on you?"
"Hehe."
Zheng Yanfei smiled shyly, but inwardly she was ecstatic. She even lifted her delicate chin proudly and said,
"I’m actually very pretty, you know. You couldn’t have not known that, right, Brother Shen? I have tons of pursuers at school. Every time I go out, people ask for my WeChat."
"You don’t have a bunch of guys on the back burner, do you?"
"No way!"
Zheng Yanfei quickly pulled out her phone to prove her innocence.
"Brother Shen, you can check my phone. I never reply to the guys in my WeChat. They’re always the ones to message me first, and if I get annoyed, I just block and delete them. Now, no one dares to message me first anymore."
