Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Chengze Jiayuan, downstairs from Building 5.

When Lin Qinghai saw the eight-digit number starting with 9 displayed on Lin Shen's China Construction Bank app, he was somewhat bewildered, even to the point of being unable to comprehend it.

No matter how eloquently you describe it, the information on your bank card won't lie.

How could his own son have over 90 million?
Lin Qinghai's first reaction was to wonder where he got so much money.

They made over 90 million in just a few months.

Even illegal and criminal activities couldn't possibly involve this much!

Could it be that they've solicited investment, or that they're engaging in illegal fundraising?

Lin Qinghai was so uneasy that he could hardly bear it, so he put his arms around Lin Shen's shoulders and asked him earnestly.

"Promise Dad that you haven't done anything criminal or immoral."

"I promise."

Lin Shen's expression became more serious than ever before, all in order to dispel Lin Guoqing's concerns.

After all, this matter is indeed a bit beyond people's imagination.

The incident, which lasted several months, resulted in a loss of over 90 million.

Anyone would have doubts in that situation.

Fortunately, the other party was his father, who had watched him grow up, so he could confidently tell him about it and give him his advice.

"Dad, don't tell Mom about this yet. I'm afraid she'll blab about it."

"Don't worry, I won't tell her."

Lin Qinghai reassured Lin Shen, then patted him hard on the shoulder, his expression gradually becoming cheerful, even excited.

"Son, you are truly remarkable! Our Lin family has also flourished this year!"

"From now on, you'll probably be in charge of things in our family."

"I have to be busy in Shanghai, so you and my mom will have to discuss all the big and small things at home."

Lin Shen glanced at the time on his left wrist and then chuckled.

"I think it's getting late, shall we go upstairs?"

"Ah."

Lin Qinghai nodded, glanced at the watch on Lin Shen's left wrist, and then exclaimed in surprise.

"Your watch must be very expensive, right? It doesn't look like an ordinary item."

"More than 700,000, I guess."

Lin Shen swung his left wrist proudly.

"It was a gift from Sister Nan."

"Did Xiaonan give this to you?"

Lin Qinghai's eyes widened in surprise again, then he stood still and said seriously.

"Son, did you give her a gift in return for such an expensive gift?"

"Although you two are a couple and it's right for you to exchange gifts, we can't expect kindness from others for no reason, you know? That could easily make their families look down on us."

"Don't worry, Dad, I also gave her a watch worth over 400,000 yuan."

Lin Shen patted Lin Qinghai on the shoulder with a smile, but this clearly did not satisfy him.

"Over 400,000? That's less than half?"

"The key point is that I didn't know Sister Nan was going to give me such an expensive watch."

Lin Shen smiled helplessly, then offered words of comfort.

"But don't worry, Dad, I made up for it later by giving Sister Nan a car."

"Is she still short of cars?"

Lin Qinghai was somewhat puzzled.

"Xiao Nan's family seems to be quite well-off; they probably don't lack cars, right?"

"Are you short of those cars worth over 40 million?"

Lin Shen smiled mysteriously, which startled Lin Qinghai. His legs trembled slightly as he stepped onto the stairs, and he turned his head to look at him in disbelief.

"More than forty million?"

"Yes, it's the Ferrari LaFerrari worth over 40 million."

Perhaps sensing that Lin Qinghai might not be familiar with this matter, Lin Shen explained with a light laugh.

"It's a limited edition Ferrari model, with only 199 units produced worldwide, and it's no longer in production, so you could say it's a limited edition."

After saying that, Lin Shen took out his phone and showed his father the luxurious appearance of the Ferrari LaFerrari, which made his father exclaim in amazement.

"Wow, so cool! Is this a Ferrari? It's pretty awesome!"

“I also have an SF90 in my garage.”

Lin Shen chuckled softly.

"It costs over six million, which is more expensive than my current Maybach S680. However, it's far less comfortable. After all, the Maybach is a sports car, while the Maybach is an executive vehicle. They serve different purposes."

"Yes."

Lin Qinghai nodded, and then began to consider the longer-term aspects.

"Son, now that you've reached the point where you and Xiaonan are exchanging such expensive gifts, does that mean you're getting engaged soon?"

"I feel that Xiaonan's family is much better off than ours. If the two families meet, won't your mother and I embarrass you?"

"No, what's so shameful about it?"

This time, Lin Shen patted Lin Qinghai on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Isn't it good enough that my son is successful? My family is well-off, so you can't exclude me from the picture."

"Yes."

Lin Shen's words enlightened Lin Qinghai, making him realize the truth.

The reason why people consider each other's social standing to be "matched" is that it's about using family background to highlight each other's achievements before their children have even started their careers.

In this way, both parties have similar levels of understanding and ability, and they are less likely to quarrel over matters of principle after marriage.

But the current situation is indeed that Lin Shen, at such a young age, has already achieved great success.

He has over 90 million yuan in savings, and that's just the liquid cash.

If you include all sorts of other assets, it's definitely worth over 100 million!
With such a young billionaire, would anyone still care about his family background?
Perhaps the poorer Xiao Shen's family is, the more others will admire him.

With this in mind, Lin Qinghai understood a lot, and a bright smile returned to his face.

"Okay, okay, I understand. If we get engaged, you have to let me know. I'll show you my military uniform then, which will be a big favor to you."

"Okay, but we're not there yet."

When he was with his parents, Lin Shen's gentle smile never faded.

"Nan and I are still working hard on our careers, so we're not in a rush to get engaged."

"Why aren't you in a hurry anymore? You're in a big hurry, okay!"

Lin Qinghai emphasized.

“You’re 25 already, you can get married and have children. Your dad is looking forward to holding his grandson soon.”

"Also, if you don't rush things, there are too many variables! Xiaonan is a good girl, you have to cherish her, don't end up like..."

Suddenly, Lin Qinghai seemed to realize that he had been a bit too talkative and had mentioned some people he shouldn't have, so he quickly changed the subject and shut up.

Although he didn't say everything, or even mention a single name, Lin Shen already knew who his father was talking about.

He sighed softly, his voice remaining calm, as if he had long since come to terms with the matter.

"Dad, don't mention Gu Wanting in front of Sister Nan."

"I definitely won't tell."

Lin Qinghai assured him, and then explained that everything was in accordance with the agreement.

"That's why I brought this up when we came downstairs. What exactly happened between you and Xiaoting? I heard from your mother that she fell for someone else?"

"That's it."

Lin Shen felt there was nothing to hide from his parents, so he didn't hesitate or struggle with his thoughts before recounting what had happened between him and Gu Wanting.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qinghai was initially taken aback, then his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, his expression became extremely serious, and finally he couldn't help but speak angrily.

"I used to think Tingting was a good girl. She gave me all sorts of cigarettes and alcohol. I never imagined she would be this kind of person!"

"And I even said some good things about your mother to her, you've completely wasted your conscience!"

"Let bygones be bygones." Lin Shen was quite magnanimous and relaxed, as if he had already seen through the essence of things.

"She has her own feelings to pursue, and I have my own new life to live. We are no longer on the same path. If we break up, we break up. There is no need to talk about who was right and who was wrong."

"It's good that you can let it go."

Seeing that Lin Shen seemed to have moved on from the emotional aspect, Lin Qinghai's worries lessened considerably, and he patted him on the shoulder teasingly.

"If Tingting knew how rich you are now, she would probably regret it."

"more or less."

Lin Shen put his hands behind his head and said leisurely.

"I have deleted all her contact information. She is now just a memory of my past and will not affect my future development in the slightest."

"Yes, son, you did the right thing!"

Lin Qinghai couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"You have such a great girlfriend like Xiaonan now, there's no need to have any connection with the past... By the way, does Xiaonan know about this?"

"she knows."

Lin Shen shrugged and spread his hands.

"What kind of society are we living in now? Who doesn't have an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend?"

"Yes."

Lin Qinghai scratched his head, seemingly hesitant to express his opinion on this topic.

"Anyway, son, you can handle this yourself. I'm getting old and can't give you any advice."

"Dad, your support is the greatest advice you can give me."

Lin Shen smiled.

"Let's go upstairs. We've been chatting downstairs for too long. They're probably getting impatient."

……

Chengze Jiayuan, Building 5, Room 201.
At the restaurant table, Zhao Nuanmei and Qin Yuennan chatted happily.

However, when Qin Yuennan suddenly mentioned how much money Lin Shen had earned, she was filled with curiosity and interest.

"How much did Xiao Shen earn?"

"About eight figures."

Qin Yuennan made an estimate, and even deliberately lowered her estimate.

But this was enough to shock Zhao Nuanmei for a while; her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

"Eight figures? Really? Did Xiao Shen earn that much money?"

"I really don't know."

Qin Yuennan said softly.

"You'll have to ask him about this. Also, he forbids it from being spread around."

"I definitely know."

Zhao Nuanmei gave Qin Yuennan a reassuring smile.

"I'm way past the age of showing off, and I still understand the principle of not flaunting my wealth."

"If some people knew that Xiao Shen had made so much money, I'd probably have a lot of people asking to borrow money, so I'm not going to let anyone know."

"Ah."

Seeing that Zhao Nuanmei was so reasonable, Qin Yuennan breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt that getting along with her future mother-in-law was actually quite good.

At that moment, she suddenly grabbed Qin Yuennan's hand and hurriedly asked her something.

"May I ask what kind of work Xiao Shen is doing now? I really want to hear that he resigned?"

"Ah."

Qin Yuennan tucked her hair back and explained.

“He is currently starting a company, and I am helping him.”

"Start a business?"

Upon hearing these two words, Zhao Nuanmei's first thought was similar to Lin Qinghai's: various debts and external liabilities.

Such a large risk made her somewhat worried.

Is starting a business a good option?

"Auntie, don't worry."

Qin Yuennan patted Zhao Nuanmei's hand to comfort her.

Because she knew about the local situation in Lin Shen, northerners still value job stability.

After all, no job can be perfect.

Less work, more money, close to home, stable.

A job that meets two of these four criteria is considered a good job.

The North values ​​stability more, while the Yangtze River Delta region values ​​wealth more.

Therefore, Qin Yuennan also took into account the difference in their philosophies.

Therefore, she understood Zhao Nuanmei's concerns and comforted her.

"Lin Shen doesn't owe any money. He's very steady and pragmatic in his business ventures, which are all in the physical industry. If things really don't go well, he has many offline stores to fall back on, so you can rest assured."

"Is it……"

Qin Yuennan's words of comfort were very effective, immediately easing Zhao Nuanmei's brows considerably, but she was still somewhat worried.

"What if he fails? Will he be able to find a good job?"

"Definitely."

Qin Yuennan continued to comfort her.

"With Lin Shen's abilities, finding a job would be easy for him. Starting a business is just a way for him to develop his abilities, and I believe he will succeed."

"Thank you for your support of Xiao Shen."

Zhao Nuanmei patted Qin Yuennan's hand and chuckled.

"He's incredibly lucky to have a girlfriend like you."

"Auntie, you flatter me."

Qin Yuennan has gradually gotten used to smiling, and even the curve of her lips looks more natural now.

"I am lucky to have found such an excellent boyfriend as your son."

"Oh my, Xiaonan, you're so good with words."

Qin Yuennan's words struck a chord with Zhao Nuanmei, making her beam with joy. She held onto Qin's hand tightly, not wanting to let go, and liked her more and more as she looked at her. She couldn't help but ask her questions directly.

"So when do you plan to get your marriage certificate with Xiao Shen?"

"Well..."

Qin Yuennan was immediately in a dilemma.

She really wanted to get a marriage certificate with Lin Shen, and even go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right away, but there were many things Zhao Nuanmei didn't know.

The first issue is Lin Shen's womanizing.

Qin Yuennan was too embarrassed to tell Zhao Nuanmei about this, since the main reason wasn't Lin Shen's fault, but rather that his ex-girlfriend had hurt him too deeply.

Besides, given that he has so many female confidantes, it's unlikely that he'll register his marriage with her anytime soon.

Of course, these are all secondary issues. The most important thing is that the two are still starting their business and don't have time to get married.

Therefore, Qin Yuennan decided to use this excuse to get away with it.

"Auntie, there's no rush now. Lin Shen and I are busy with our careers, so let's put the wedding on hold for now."

"Oh dear! How can we let this go!"

Zhao Nuanmei is now terrified that Qin Yuennan will run away.

After all, only Zhao Nuanmei, as a woman, knows how rare it is to find a girl who is so beautiful, with a perfect figure, family background, and education.

Therefore, she was very afraid that Qin Yuennan and Lin Shen would eventually break up.

After all, most marriages are based on impulse.

Therefore, Zhao Nuanmei insisted, holding Qin Yuennan's hand.

"How about your auntie picks an auspicious day for you to get your marriage certificate?" (End of Chapter)
