Chapter 660: Chapter 320: Late at Night, a Man and a Woman Alone in a Room
The third picture only took the right-hand components of the two Chinese characters for "Shennan." The radicals on the left were animated into cute, half-crouching cats and dogs. Above them was a giant umbrella, symbolizing humans and pets living together in harmony.
At least to Lin Shen, the last picture looked the best. He decisively typed a reply to Qin Yuenan.
[Lin Shen: Nan, let’s go with the last one. What do you think?]
[Qin Yuenan: Okay. I also think the last one is suitable.]
After reaching a consensus on the company logo, the two went on to discuss the company’s plans for the National Day holiday, as well as the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.
Naturally, Lin Shen would cover all the expenses in this regard. After all, with the existence of the "Direct Recruitment" cheat app, giving out benefits was practically free for him. Therefore, for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Shen planned to give the employees practical gifts like gas cards and shopping gift cards in addition to traditional mooncakes. This way, they could buy whatever they wanted, and he wouldn’t have to overthink it.
Just as Lin Shen and Qin Yuenan were nearing the end of their discussion, Gu Wanqing poked her head through the doorway and called out, "Lin Shen, dinner is ready. Are you done with work?"
"I’ll be right there." Lin Shen gave her a smile and then typed to Qin Yuenan.
[Lin Shen: Nan, I’m going to wash up. See you at the company tomorrow.]
[Qin Yuenan: Mm.]
Ending the chat, Lin Shen left the study and went to the living room. Seeing the hearty dinner of three dishes and a soup spread across the dining table, he couldn’t help but marvel, "So much food. Thanks for your hard work."
"It’s not that much," Gu Wanqing said, giggling as she pushed Lin Shen toward the bathroom. "Lin Shen, go wash up first. I’ll serve the rice."
"Okay."
When Lin Shen came out after washing his hands, he saw Gu Wanqing taking a bottle of red wine out of the fridge, seemingly preparing to pop it open. Seeing this, Lin Shen decisively snatched the wine bottle from her hands. "Kids shouldn’t drink."
"I just want a taste! I’m not a kid anymore!" Gu Wanqing puffed out her cheeks and planted her hands on her hips. Staring at Lin Shen with a pitiful gaze, she muttered under her breath, "You’re too controlling, Lin Shen."
"Next time for sure." Lin Shen quickly patted Gu Wanqing’s head to comfort her. "How about this? I’ll drink cola with you, okay?"
"Fine."
Gu Wanqing felt a slight twinge of disappointment in her heart. Actually, she had prepared such a lavish dinner not only to reward Lin Shen for treating her so well today but also to see if they could take their relationship a step further. However, she was too timid and naturally reserved. If she had to take the initiative to get closer to Lin Shen, she definitely wouldn’t dare.
Thus, she had looked online and found the trick of using liquid courage. She figured she could drink a little wine and try out some mature dating tricks with him. Besides, having a candlelight dinner with the person she loved most was what she was looking forward to the most. Even though it was a Chinese-style meal, as long as the other person was Lin Shen, she would feel blissful—even if they were just eating takeout.
Unfortunately, her plan was cut short by Lin Shen before it even began. This made her feel a little resentful. Still, his suggestion to drink cola was acceptable.
Accepting his compromise for now, Gu Wanqing took a bottle of cola from the fridge and filled both their glasses. She also grabbed a tray of ice cubes from the ice maker, dropping a few into their cups.
BRRR!
When the icy carbonated drink went down her throat, Gu Wanqing couldn’t help but shiver while holding her glass, then let out a long, satisfied sigh. "Ah, that’s so good! Lin Shen, try the chili stir-fried pork I made!"
"Mm."
To be honest, Gu Wanqing’s cooking wasn’t bad at all. When she had cooked for him the first time, Lin Shen had found it rather ordinary. But compared to restaurant food outside, the fact that she could whip this up at home was already impressive. At the very least, the taste suited Lin Shen’s preferences perfectly—mildly spicy and not too salty.
"Not bad!" Lin Shen said with a smile. "It feels like your culinary skills have improved a lot. You shouldn’t have had time to cook at school, right?"
"I learned online," Gu Wanqing said, tilting her chin up proudly with a bright giggle. "I’m amazing, aren’t I?"
"Amazing." Lin Shen couldn’t help but give her a thumbs-up. Then, he asked out of the blue, "By the way, Qingqing, can I ask you about something?"
"What is it, Lin Shen?"
"I’m planning to use our names to set up a company."
Set up a company? Gu Wanqing clearly froze for a moment before asking curiously, "What kind of company?"
"An investment firm." Lin Shen smiled as he chewed a mouthful of rice. "We’ll call it Shenqing Capital. What do you think?"
"Shenqing Capital... That sounds so nice!" Gu Wanqing cheered in excitement, unable to suppress the wave of thrill and joy surging in her heart.
She thought, "Lin Shen is actually using my name to start a company? Does this mean he has completely accepted me? Just like Jiang Wan’s Shenwan Media—if Shenwan Media is Lin Shen’s gift to Jiang Wan, then Shenqing Capital is his gift to me!"
Gu Wanqing was obviously thrilled by such a monumental gift. But soon after, a wave of worry followed.
"But Lin Shen, I don’t know anything about investments," Gu Wanqing said in distress. She lowered her head, clearly dejected. "I won’t be able to help you much with this. Even if I try, I might just end up making a mess..."
