Chapter 471: Chapter 226: Shenwan Media 2

’We’ll be family one day anyway. Getting to know him better now will only bring us closer.’

Jiang Wan mused. Soon, the two of them arrived at the foot of her apartment building.

"Lin Shen, wait here for a bit. I’ll be right down, in about ten minutes."

"Okay."

While waiting in the car for Jiang Wan, Lin Shen used the time to wrap up some loose ends.

For instance, he drafted a contract to send to Su Youji.

The contract’s main focus was on profit distribution, covering advertising revenue, sales commissions, platform revenue sharing, performance fees, and other items.

Lin Shen planned to offer Su Youji a 70-30 split—with her getting the 70%. He would even let her retain full ownership of the account. It was a huge concession.

After all, once the contract was signed, he would be responsible for staff salaries, providing a venue, equipment, and scripts. Down the line, he’d also have to handle marketing and promotion to increase the account’s exposure.

The costs associated with all this were substantial. Taking only a thirty percent cut was practically a losing proposition.

But if it meant signing Su Youji, Lin Shen was willing to take the loss, no matter how great.

Of course, this wasn’t because of her... assets, which were on par with Jiang Wan’s. It was because the future profits from her personal brand would absolutely offset the initial investment costs!

[Su Youji: Okay, Mr. Lin! I got the contract. I’m going to send it to my dad to look over. I’ll get back to you as soon as I hear anything!]

[Lin Shen: Okay.]

"Phew—!"

With the Su Youji matter settled, Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief and moved on to handling things at Shennan.

First up was the new batch of employees. As the chairman, he needed to give the final approval for their onboarding.

Qin Yuenan had interviewed all 12 of them herself. They were for two major departments: Marketing and Human Resources.

Most of them were from Pet Guardian Home, though some were from other companies.

As for how Qin Yuenan had convinced them to join Shennan, Lin Shen had no idea.

He was certain of one thing, though: every single one of these new hires was highly competent.

Their résumés and work histories were impressive; they didn’t seem like the type of slick veterans who were all talk and no action.

This pleased Lin Shen greatly. Coupled with the fact that Qin Yuenan had recommended them, he approved their applications and drafted their employment contracts without much hesitation.

’Leaving the company in Nan’s hands really makes things easy!’

Lin Shen happily opened the Employee Direct Hire app. The addition of these 12 new employees meant he had successfully completed the mission.

[Employee Direct Hire:]

[Upgrade Mission: Increase company employees to over 50 through recruitment (50/50, Completed)]

[Employee Direct Hire Lv. 4 → Lv. 5]

[Decryption Effect: When you recruit an employee, you will receive a 45%→50% rebate on their base salary.]

[Reward: Random Employee Benefit x1]

[Congratulations, Host, for successfully upgrading the Employee Direct Hire app to LV. 5. You have received a halfway special reward: Title - Boss’s Prestige]

[Upgrade Mission: Hold a company-wide meeting (Incomplete)]

’Boss’s Prestige?’

Lin Shen spaced out for a moment. It felt like a long time since he had received a title as a reward.

The only title he currently had equipped, "Ten-Millionaire," was from when he first unlocked a new function on ReceivePal.

Its effect was incredibly useful, granting him VIP treatment wherever he went. It was practically a universal key.

’I wonder what this Boss’s Prestige title does?’

Lin Shen clicked to view the details.

[Title: Boss’s Prestige]

[Effect: When this title is equipped, your prestige within the company will increase dramatically. You will earn more trust and support from your subordinates, boost employee morale and efficiency, and attract other talented individuals to join you.]

[Note: This title’s effect is limited to companies in which the Host holds a stake of 51% or more. The effect is also tied to the Host’s personal conduct. Therefore, please maintain the public image of the Chairman of Shennan.]

’So that’s how it works!’

Lin Shen was ecstatic.

’This "Boss’s Prestige" title is amazing!’

He could swap it out with the "Ten-Millionaire" title depending on the situation.

On a normal day, he’d equip "Ten-Millionaire" and enjoy the VIP treatment.

When he was at work, he’d switch to "Boss’s Prestige" to boost his employees’ efficiency.

’Perfect!’

Satisfied with his new title, Lin Shen immediately turned his attention to the random employee benefit he had just received.

[Employee Benefit: Rent Halved, Utilities Free (The first 100 employees to join the Host’s company will have their monthly rent—for rents up to 5,000—halved, and all their utilities will be free of charge. The costs will be reimbursed by the "Employee Direct Hire" app.)]

Whoa!

’That’s a pretty thoughtful benefit!’

Lin Shen thought this employee benefit was great—much better than, say, reimbursement for team-building activities.

He remembered when he had first started working. His intern salary was just over 5,000 a month, and half of it was immediately gone to rent.

After paying for food, drinks, utilities, and gas, there was hardly anything left to save at the end of the month.

As someone who had once been a struggling worker at the bottom of the ladder, Lin Shen knew exactly what they needed most.

When he was younger and watched the show *iPartment*, he didn’t think their "rent halved, utilities free" deal was anything special.

Looking back now, he realized it was basically paradise.

A smile touched Lin Shen’s lips. Before he knew it, more than twenty minutes had passed since Jiang Wan went upstairs.

’That long?’

Lin Shen got out and leaned against the car door, crossing his arms. He looked up at the bedroom window of apartment 403 and noticed shadows flickering past from time to time.

’What is she doing up there?’

Feeling a little puzzled, Lin Shen took out his phone and sent a curious text.

[Lin Shen: Jiang Wan, are you not feeling well?]

[Jiang Wan: No! I’m coming down right now! Immediately!]

’Alright then.’

Lin Shen got back in the car. He activated the driver’s seat massage function, closed his eyes to rest, and listened quietly to the top-tier sound quality of the Burmester audio system.
