Chapter 339: Chapter 185: Recruitment and Picking Up the Car
According to the description, the company had been around for less than a month. They even scheduled the interview at a Cat Cafe.
’What does that mean?’
’It means they don’t even have an office!’
’This is a textbook startup!’
’But... the salary and benefits are just too good!’
’With base pay, performance bonuses, and a few miscellaneous stipends, it adds up to twenty thousand a month!?’
After her initial shock, Xu Lei’s first thought was that there was something wrong with this company.
’Offering such tempting terms just doesn’t make sense!’
’I don’t have any secretarial experience, nor do I have a high-level degree. How did my resume even pass the screening?’
’There has to be a catch!’
Xu Lei was about to mark the invitation as spam, but after a moment of hesitation, she found herself conflicted.
’But what if it’s real?’
’That’s a salary of twenty thousand a month!’
’Twenty thousand!’
’An amount I wouldn’t even dare to dream of!’
’Missing out on a job like this would be the regret of a lifetime!’
’Maybe I should give it a shot!’
’Work has been a little draining lately anyway. If it turns out to be a scam, I’ll just consider it a day off to rest.’
After thinking it over, Xu Lei accepted the invitation, a sudden sense of anticipation blooming within her.
’Shennan, huh...’
’That’s actually a pretty nice name for a company!’

「2:00 PM. A BYD dealership in Modu.」
Lin Ping hadn’t expected Lin Shen to drive her here.
In her eyes, someone of Lin Shen’s status should be buying a more high-end car.
The BYD brand was known for capturing the market through high sales volume and value for money.
Even Lin Ping, who didn’t spend much time online, knew about the running joke that BYDs were "ride-hailing cars."
Of course, she wasn’t looking down on the BYD brand. She just found it a bit strange.
As Lin Shen led Lin Ping into the dealership, an employee quickly approached them with a polite smile.
"You must be President Lin! The new car you ordered has arrived. Please come with me."
Huh?
’We’re not here to order a car today, but to pick one up?’
’President Lin already bought it?’
Lin Ping’s expression froze for a moment. She then followed the employee with Lin Shen to the vehicle pickup area.
Quite a few customers had already gathered there, most of whom were families of three, their faces beaming with happy smiles.
This made Lin Ping feel a pang of loneliness.
In truth, she sometimes wished she could buy a car to take Anan to and from school.
Although her sensible daughter Anan had never mentioned it, every time it rained and she had to tuck her under a raincoat on the back of her electric scooter, Lin Ping’s heart filled with guilt.
At times like those, she desperately longed for a car that could shield them from the wind and rain...
"Here, for you."
Just as Lin Ping was lost in thought, Lin Shen suddenly handed her the bouquet of flowers the staff had prepared.
She took them instinctively, her expression freezing in confusion.
"President Lin, what is this...?"
"It’s exactly what you think it is."
Lin Shen smiled and gently guided Lin Ping in front of the new car, as if she were the guest of honor at this vehicle handover ceremony.
"This car is for you."
Huh?
’For me?’
For a moment, Lin Ping was completely stunned. She just stood there, dazed, for a long time before she could process it.
It wasn’t until she saw that his gentle smile wasn’t a joke that her eyes shot wide open, and her wildly beating heart seemed to clench tight in her chest.
An endless wave of warmth and happiness washed over her, completely overwhelming her emotions.
’Just a moment ago, I was thinking how wonderful it would be to have my own car!’
’And just like that, Lin Shen made my wish come true in an instant!’
It all felt so surreal, as if she were in a dream. She murmured the question subconsciously, afraid this was all just a fantasy.
"President Lin, is this car... really for me?"
"Of course it is."
Hearing Lin Shen’s gentle voice, Lin Ping’s eyes instantly reddened. She bit her trembling lip, trying hard not to cry.
She sniffled, the corners of her mouth twitching upward in an attempt to smile, but she suddenly burst into tears.
"President Lin!"
The next second, Lin Ping threw herself into Lin Shen’s arms.
