Chapter 626: Chapter 303: A Date with the Senior

Shennan Pet Society, YP District branch.

The store manager stood before Lin Shen, forcing a smile like a student being scolded.

This sight scared the other employees half to death, and they all started guessing at Lin Shen’s identity.

’Who is this guy?’

’Why is the manager so respectful to him?’

’Could he be a Shennan executive?’

Everyone’s thoughts were surprisingly in sync. However, the clerk who had been serving Lin Shen earlier was already trembling in fear.

’No way, man!’

’You’re actually the real deal!’

The clerk had assumed Lin Shen was just bluffing when he asked him to get the manager. He never imagined the guy actually wanted the manager brought over just to be lectured!

’Sigh!’

’Why did I have to run my stupid mouth!’

The clerk was filled with regret. Immense regret.

After all, he had beaten out a ton of competition to land this job.

A clerk position at Shennan Pet Society was even more competitive than a manager position at other cat cafes.

First off, the benefits were great. The base salary plus commission was about 20% higher than at a typical cat cafe.

And most importantly, they signed official employment contracts!

That basically made them official employees of Shennan!

The kind with social insurance and a housing fund!

This feeling of being respected was something other cat cafes never offered.

So, during this probationary period right after the store’s opening, the clerk truly cherished this hard-won job.

As for why the tables weren’t cleared promptly, it was because they hadn’t expected Shennan Pet Society to be so incredibly popular. They couldn’t keep up and had decided to take a short break to film a quick video.

A typical cat cafe would be doing great if it had even half of Shennan’s customer traffic.

But that was the limit of the store, not of Shennan.

Even though ten branches had already opened, every single one was still packed to the brim.

A good reputation spread by word-of-mouth, from one customer to the next.

This was especially true for cat and dog cafes.

After all, people prefer to play with pets they’re familiar with and are reluctant to approach unfamiliar ones.

Most cat cafes rely on repeat customers; only a few manage to attract new ones.

What’s more, this branch was in the YP District, which was home to many universities.

As a result, even more students came to pet the cats on weekends, and most of them were couples.

That was why Lin Shen had originally designed a grand opening event for this store specifically targeting university students.

But it had only been a few days, and they were already slacking off.

’This won’t do.’

’I’m giving you great pay and benefits, but I’m not running a charity.’

’If you won’t do the work, there are plenty of others who will.’

However, Lin Shen was kind-hearted and willing to give this group of employees another chance.

If it happened a second time, he wouldn’t be so lenient.

"Go on."

"Yes, sir!"

The manager hurriedly bowed and scraped to Lin Shen. After scurrying away with small steps, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

The other employees had been about to come over and ask what was going on, but after seeing his grim expression, they immediately shut their mouths, their hearts filled with unease.

’Looks like we’re all in for it after our shift...’

For the rest of the time, the manager didn’t leave. Instead, he stayed to watch the employees’ work like a hawk.

Of course, he also pitched in himself, serving tea and food to customers and mixing drinks.

’The big boss is sitting right here in the store, after all. Who would dare to slack off?!’

But Lin Shen’s attention was no longer on the employees’ performance. He was now immersed in the "blissful" life of petting cats with Jiang Wan.

Dates with his Senior always had a sense of post-marital tranquility.

Jiang Wan was always smiling, sharing amusing anecdotes from her work with Lin Shen, unlike Qin Yuenan, who would discuss work matters with him.

Of course, their different personalities also led to different dating styles.

If he had to say, Lin Shen actually preferred dating Jiang Wan.

After all, the gentle older-sister type was just too good at taking care of people.

She would take the initiative to feed him a bite of her cake, and she’d offer him a sip of her milk tea, achieving an indirect kiss in the process.

And most importantly, Jiang Wan always got Lin Shen’s jokes.

As a major influencer on Douyin, she was a pro at surfing the web. She was always up-to-date on the latest trending topics and would discuss them with Lin Shen.

In this respect, she was a bit better than Qin Yuenan.

It wasn’t that Qin Yuenan was old-fashioned, just that the nature of her work meant she probably didn’t keep up with online trends much.

But Jiang Wan was different.

Not only did she get his references, but she would even bring up new topics herself.

This made being with her very comfortable for Lin Shen.

Of course, the most crucial factor was definitely her looks.

Jiang Wan didn’t have Qin Yuenan’s kind of cold, breathtaking beauty that grabs you at first sight. Instead, she was the type who became more and more pleasant to look at over time.

On top of that, her figure was incredible. Her generous bust was apparent no matter her posture, a vision of soft fullness.

And since Jiang Wan was well aware of her excellent figure, she always seemed to deliberately brush against Lin Shen’s elbow, making him feel a tantalizing itch.

’This senior of mine is so mischievous!’

Lin Shen quickly cleared his throat and changed the subject to distract himself, afraid he might embarrass himself if he wasn’t careful.

"Senior, are you planning to go home for the October holiday?"

"I’ll probably go back," Jiang Wan said with a smile, all while teasing the cat in her lap.

"After all, the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays are at the same time this year. It would be wrong not to go back."

"In that case, I’ll transfer you a hundred thousand yuan. You can buy some things to take home."

"You don’t have to give me that much. Besides, I have my own money."

Jiang Wan politely declined Lin Shen’s kind offer.

"Besides, my hometown is out in the middle of nowhere. They don’t know anything about fancy cigarettes or liquor, so it would just be a waste."

"If you’re really feeling that generous... why don’t you make some time and come home with me?"
