Chapter 422: Chapter 209: Shopping and Buying a Car

"Could he be the chairman of that new company, Shennan, on the 14th floor?"

"Huh? Do you know something?! Spill it!"

"I’ve been seeing Qin Yuenan taking the elevator up a lot recently, but I don’t know which floor she goes to. But the ’Nan’ in ’Shennan’ on the 14th floor is from her name! Maybe some rich kid opened the company just for her! Plus, I heard from an insider at Pet Guardian Home that Qin Yuenan has already resigned!"

"Holy shit! That’s insane! Someone would actually open an entire company for his girlfriend? That’s even more romantic than a scene out of a drama! Giving flowers, cars, and houses seems so lame in comparison!"

While the onlookers in the group chat were wildly gossiping, Lin Shen and Qin Yuenan were completely unaware that their identities had been almost completely exposed.

They followed the crowd out of the elevator on the B1 level, then headed toward the parking spots where a black Volvo S90 and a Jaguar XFL were parked.

"Nan, if we’re seen walking together, will it affect your reputation?"

Lin Shen had a strange feeling that starting today, word of his relationship with Qin Yuenan would spread throughout all of Huamao Mansion.

But Qin Yuenan clearly didn’t care. After getting into the driver’s seat of the Volvo S90, she mentioned nonchalantly,

"It won’t. Unless you think you’re not good enough to be seen with me?"

"That’s not it."

Lin Shen naturally sat down in the passenger seat.

"I’m worried about how it might affect you."

"I’m not the marketing director of Pet Guardian Home anymore. I’m the president of Shennan."

Qin Yuenan tilted her coolly beautiful face upward slightly, her expression filled with immense pride and confidence.

"What they say has nothing to do with me, and I don’t care."

"That’s good."

Since Qin Yuenan wasn’t bothered, Lin Shen cared even less and planned to visit more often in the future.

He then got out of her car, slid into the driver’s seat of his own Jaguar XFL, and followed Qin Yuenan out of the underground parking garage, heading to the place they had arranged to meet Zhao Jianing.

Bao Lixuan.

A two-star Michelin Cantonese restaurant, located inside the historic, century-old Modu General Chamber of Commerce Building.

Its facade retained the original red-brick arches and carved pillars, with the traces of time in the mortar exuding an air of modern elegance.

Understated and luxurious.

After parking their cars separately, Lin Shen and Qin Yuenan passed through the embossed bronze doors into the restaurant, walking softly down a long corridor laid with handmade carpets.

The corridor walls on both sides displayed various antique silverware and contemporary art installations. Guided by a waiter, they gradually transitioned from the bustling street outside to the tranquil dining environment within.

Among them were six private rooms designed with inspiration from Bulgari jewelry, where Zhao Jianing and her two foreign friends had already been waiting for some time.

"Nannan!"

Seeing Qin Yuenan and Lin Shen arrive together, Zhao Jianing stood up excitedly and began to make introductions.

"This is Mr. Lorenzo Rossi, the general distributor for Ferrari in the East China Region. And this is Mr. Matteo Lombardi, the head of the Huaxia branch of the Ferrari Racing Club. He happened to be in Modu on a business trip today, so I thought I’d invite him along as well."

"And these two are my friends, Qin Yuenan and her boyfriend, Lin Shen. He’s also the customer who wants to buy a Ferrari SF90 today."

"Hello!"

The moment he heard Lin Shen intended to buy a car, Lorenzo became incredibly excited and greeted him in slightly clumsy Chinese.

"Mr. Lin Shen! Thank you so much for your interest in Ferrari!"

"Thank you."

After shaking hands with Lorenzo and Matteo, Lin Shen spoke to them in extremely fluent English.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you both. The Ferrari brand has always had an excellent reputation here in Huaxia, so I thought I would buy one."

"You speak English?"

Lin Shen’s fluent spoken English was a pleasant surprise to Matteo and Lorenzo; even Qin Yuenan, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback.

’His English is this good?’

"A little."

Lin Shen said humbly. After he and Qin Yuenan sat down, the conversation that followed was much more relaxed.

As a wealthy young woman who had studied abroad for a long time, Zhao Jianing was naturally fluent in English. And there was even less need to mention Qin Yuenan; she had been a top student her whole life, so English was no challenge for her.

Therefore, there was no language barrier during their conversation.

"See what you guys would like to eat."

Zhao Jianing handed the menu to Qin Yuenan. She took it, glanced at Lin Shen, and after seeing him shake his head, handed it back.

"Just order whatever. Lin Shen and I aren’t hungry."

"Alright then."

As a regular at Bao Lixuan, Zhao Jianing knew which of their dishes were the best.

For instance, the open-flame roast goose, the braised goose feet with sea cucumber in abalone sauce, and the golden cheese lobster claws.

The latter, which was served with an Italian buffalo mozzarella sauce, would surely give Lorenzo and Matteo a taste of home.

The rest included some side dishes and desserts.

"That’s all."

She returned the menu to the waiter, and in the time they waited for the food, the group started to chat amongst themselves.

They basically split into two groups.

Lin Shen chatted with Lorenzo and Matteo about cars, learning from them about Ferrari, an automotive brand with an eighty-year history in Italy.

That profound automotive heritage could easily pique any man’s curiosity.

Meanwhile, Lin Shen’s poised and gentle conversation style deeply impressed Lorenzo and Matteo. They sensed a maturity and composure in him that was rare for someone so young.

At the very least, they could tell that he had a wealth of life experience and was quite seasoned in dealing with people.
