Chapter 10 Settlement Reward
what?
Seeing Qin Yuennan's serious expression, Lin Shen was completely stunned.

Shouldn't you be sleeping in at home on this wonderful weekend?

What kind of rest is hiking?
Lin Shen now regrets saying he likes the outdoors, but on second thought, it doesn't seem so bad.

After resigning at the end of the month, he was no longer under any work pressure.

Perhaps it's really possible to travel around, experience the magnificent landscapes of our motherland, and see the most authentic side of this world.

Isn't that the point of making money?

"Row."

Lin Shen readily agreed, while Qin Yuennan hesitated.

"you sure?"

"Didn't you invite me?"

"I know, but..."

Qin Yuennan pursed her thin lips, feeling inexplicably flustered.

She usually hikes alone on weekends, so who knows why she was so bewitched this time to invite Lin Shen.

Perhaps it was because she was happy to have like-minded friends for the first time.

"Then make a hiking plan."

Why should I be the one to make the decisions?

"You're my assistant."

Qin Yuennan tossed her hair behind her back, not giving Lin Shen a chance to speak, and strode towards her car.

See you Monday.

"..."

Although Lin Shen really wanted to complain, why should his assistant be responsible for such personal matters?

But after Qin Yuennan walked away, he could only sigh helplessly.

I can't understand this woman's thought process.

After returning home upstairs, Lin Shen threw the paper bag on the sofa, then stood in front of the mirror and took a few selfies.

With Qin Yuennan beside him while shopping, he felt too embarrassed to take out his phone.

Now I can indulge in narcissism without worry.
【Ding--! 】

At this moment, Lin Shen noticed a red "1" in the upper right corner of the [Shoukuanbao] APP.
After clicking, a pop-up window suddenly appeared.

Should I proceed with the payment for the "Image Change Card"?

Lin Shen considered it for a moment, and then chose yes.

[Full body scan in progress...]

[A white crew-neck T-shirt + light blue shorts + silver necklace + blue and white sneakers, outfit score 80/100.]

[Weight 78kg, height 179cm, slightly visible chest and abdominal muscles, neat hairstyle, physique 70/100.]

[With a total score of 150, your image has improved significantly compared to a week ago, therefore you are awarded a 150% cashback on your spending of 33800!]

「建设银行：您尾号7946的账户于07月27日21:32收入RMB50，700元，当前余额：82，900」

Is this how cashback is done?

Lin Shen had assumed the cashback would be based on the 50,000 yuan limit, but it turned out to be the actual amount he would spend.

I should have bought more clothes.

Lin Shen was somewhat annoyed, but he also understood the importance of being content with what he had.

"I only need 17,000 more to complete the payment task on Shoukuanbao!"

Lin Shen stretched, feeling a surge of warmth within him.

As he brushed his teeth, he casually opened WeChat and suddenly froze.

Because the first post on her WeChat Moments was a travel photo posted by Gu Wanting.

Inside, she stands beneath the Eiffel Tower, striking a stark pose with a radiant smile.

It's quite obvious that the photographer is most likely Cheng Yue.

Lin Shen felt no bitterness about this; instead, he was quite indifferent.

Two straight lines passing through a focal point will only grow further apart, unless one of them yields and bends back.

But Lin Shen obviously couldn't be that.

Say goodbye to the past.

Lin Shen smiled nonchalantly, swiped a few times, and curiously clicked into Qin Yuennan's Moments.

It usually contains news about the pet industry and information about PetHome, but today there's an extra personal photo.

It's a picture of a little orange cat being held in someone's arms, captioned: Fat.

She must love cats so much!

Lin Shen was both amused and exasperated.

He had reason to suspect that Qin Yuennan's diligence and hard work were simply because she liked pets. Lin Shen gave her a thumbs up, then washed up and went to bed.

Monday, January 2025, 7.

25 ℃ ~ 31 ℃

The weather is hot and the humidity is low.

For Shanghai, the coolness of summer is only fleeting; the scorching heat, like being roasted over charcoal, is its main theme.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Lin Shen got up and, as usual, steamed two eggs and heated a cup of milk for breakfast.

From initial discomfort to gradual adaptation.

Lin Shen could clearly feel that his physical condition was gradually improving.

While washing up, he styled his hair using the method Jason had taught him.

Wash your hair, blow-dry it, use hair clay to fluff it up, and finally use hairspray to set it.

Although the steps were tedious, Lin Shen's lips curled up slightly when he saw his handsome appearance in the mirror.

At this time of week, he usually looks dejected.

After all, no working person likes Mondays.

Today, however, Lin Shen was unusually radiant, walking into the company with his head held high and a gentle smile on his face to everyone.

This is the confidence that the image change brought him.

Tips:
When you lose your passion for life, it's advisable to satisfy your consumer desires by shopping online for some items you like.

It doesn't have to be expensive; just watching the shipment's trajectory fills you with anticipation.

Good morning, Lin Shen!

"morning."

He bumped into a colleague on the first floor. The first thing he saw when he saw Lin Shen was a look of surprise on his face, and he looked Lin Shen up and down.

"You've really succeeded in losing weight! You're so handsome now!"

"Little Handsome."

If it were the old Lin Shen, he would have just smiled shyly, lowered his head, and walked away.

But now, he can chat and laugh with his colleagues, talking fluently and confidently.

This change also caused whispers among the female colleagues who were riding the elevator together. One of the bespectacled women boldly came over and asked in surprise.

"Are you Lin Shen? You changed your hairstyle?"

"Ah."

Lin Shen smiled and nodded in response.

The girl with glasses is named Xu Lei. She works in the same operations team as him, responsible for developing new features for the Pet Home APP and maintaining the program.

Lin Shen had a slight impression of her because she looked remarkably like an old friend with her thick-rimmed glasses.

The three top-ranked students... well... even their outfits are very similar!
Light gray bodycon skirt + sheer black stockings + brown-gray ankle boots.

It is said that 90% of girls who wear glasses are the opposite of what they look like. Although Lin Shen was curious, he had previously been trying to avoid suspicion because of his relationship and never interacted much with his female colleagues.

However, he has changed from his former shyness and is now generous and open-minded in his dealings with others, never stingy with his kindness.

"You look beautiful in your outfit today."

"Ah? Thank you."

After being praised, Xu Lei felt her heart race for no apparent reason and instinctively hugged the documents in her arms tighter.

The reason for such tension is simply because Lin Shen has changed so much!
He used to be overweight, which made his work outfits of shirts and trousers look particularly bulky and ordinary.

But after a week of self-discipline, his physique gradually became more proportionate, and his hairstyle also suited him well.

Her image instantly rose significantly, leaving Xu Lei somewhat at a loss. She then tentatively asked a question.

"Your girlfriend took care of this for you? That's so sweet, I'm envious..."

"I broke up with my boyfriend."

"Eh?"

broke up?
Not only Xu Lei, but almost all of Lin Shen's colleagues knew that he had a girlfriend of three years, and their relationship seemed to be going well.

Why did you break up so suddenly?
"Feel sorry!"

Xu Lei stuck out her tongue cutely, and only after Lin Shen left did she start chatting enthusiastically with her companions about gossip.

"I was wondering why Lin Shen suddenly started dieting; it turns out he was heartbroken! But to be fair, he looks so handsome now that he's lost weight and got a new hairstyle! Are all chubby people potential heartthrobs?"

"Why? Are you moved?"

"Well... it's mainly his face shape that I like, fair and delicate, with a very good foundation."

"Then let's ask for their personal WeChat!"

"Never mind, I'm too embarrassed to be too goal-oriented right now."
