Chapter 594: Chapter 287: A Day’s Plan Is Made in the Morning
"In a company’s startup phase, the most important part is investment. Upfront costs are unavoidable for anyone."
"Most of the investment in Shennan came from you. You even funded the purchase of our brick-and-mortar stores, and you’re the one paying the employees’ salaries."
"You put up the money, and I just put in the work. We’re both handling our own responsibilities, so why would you feel like you’re not helping?"
"Without you, even if I worked 24 hours a day, do you think I could make the company profitable on my own?"
"So don’t sell yourself short. You’re actually more important to Shennan than I am."
"Nan..."
Lin Shen was touched by Qin Yuenan’s words.
’Finding a girlfriend this wonderful... I must have done something amazing in a past life!’
’A powerhouse who’s decisive and efficient in business, and a supportive partner who helps me manage the company at home.’
’And with her perfect looks and figure, you could say she embodies all the best qualities a woman could have.’
’Of course, her personality might have one tiny flaw, but that cool, aloof demeanor is probably what a lot of men find attractive, isn’t it?’
’And on top of that, for someone so independent and assertive, she even lets me have other women.’
That was something Lin Shen hadn’t expected.
Because of this, he felt his feelings for Qin Yuenan were far stronger than for the other women, even stronger than for Jiang Wan and Gu Wanqing.
After all, they had known each other for a long time and were the first couple to make things official.
"Nan, let’s get going."
Lin Shen glanced at his phone.
"Xu is already downstairs."
"Okay."
Qin Yuenan added casually.
"If you don’t want to drive, you should hire a driver. Don’t bother Xu all the time. She’s your secretary, not your nanny."
"Don’t worry."
Lin Shen smiled faintly.
"I’ve already found some candidates for a housekeeper and a driver. I’ll be interviewing them tomorrow."
"Mm."
At the mention of interviews, Qin Yuenan seemed to recall something and said suddenly.
"Oh, right. Do you remember I told you I have a sister who’s living abroad?"
"Yeah, what about her?"
"She’s planning to come back from overseas soon. For one, she wants to meet you, and for another, my parents are pressuring her to come back to China to build her career."
Qin Yuenan brushed back her hair, a small, telling gesture that revealed a hint of worry.
"So, I was thinking of inviting her to join Shennan and work in our legal department. She did her undergrad at a university of political science and law, then got her master’s and doctorate from the National University of Singapore."
"Sure."
Lin Shen agreed immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
’Besides, he was curious to meet this sister of Qin Yuenan’s who was against marriage.’
Qin Yuenan hadn’t expected Lin Shen to agree so quickly, so she asked tentatively.
"You’re okay with it?"
"With a résumé that impressive, why wouldn’t I be?"
"My sister has always studied business law, but she has no experience as in-house counsel for a company. Plus, we’re family. If we both hold senior positions at Shennan, would that cause problems for you?"
"That’s nothing."
Lin Shen chuckled and wrapped his arm around Qin Yuenan.
"Your sister is my sister. As long as she’s capable, no one will say anything even if it looks like we’re pulling strings for her."
"So, when is your sister getting here?"
"Probably after the National Day holiday."
Touched by Lin Shen’s understanding, Qin Yuenan felt a warmth spread through her heart. She rested her head on his chest and said softly.
"I’ll introduce you to her when she’s here."
"Okay."
Lin Shen found himself looking forward to it.
’I wonder if this sister of Qin Yuenan’s will be as beautiful as she is.’
