"You’re learning."
After receiving Qin Yuenan’s sweet kiss as a "thank you," the corners of Lin Shen’s mouth curled up uncontrollably.
He wasn’t sure when it started, but the aloof ice queen wasn’t so "icy" anymore.
When Lin Shen made requests in his usual half-joking tone, Qin Yuenan no longer rejected him outright. Instead, she’d provide emotional validation in a way she knew he’d like.
She’d even started to take the initiative!
Lin Shen hadn’t expected such a huge change in such a short time.
The old Qin Yuenan would never have rewarded him with a kiss on the cheek. She usually would have just rolled her eyes and reluctantly asked, "What kind of reward do you want?"
But now, she had completely figured out what Lin Shen liked.
And that was flirty stuff!
"One more kiss."
Getting a little carried away, Lin Shen pointed to his cheek and eagerly leaned in.
But he was firmly pushed away by Qin Yuenan.
"Stop fooling around. We have things to do today. Hurry up and eat."
"Alright."
After a bit more playful banter with Qin Yuenan, the two finished breakfast and went downstairs.
Wang Shuo had already been waiting at the hotel entrance for a while. He immediately greeted them with a flattering smile.
"President Qin, did you rest well?"
"Very well."
The usually taciturn Qin Yuenan had, for once, offered her own opinion. The corners of her mouth were even slightly upturned, a clear sign that she was in a very good mood.
This left Wang Shuo feeling a little overwhelmed by the favor. With his high EQ, his eyes instinctively shifted to Lin Shen.
He knew very well that the only person likely to make Qin Yuenan look this happy was her young boyfriend.
’Looks like things went very smoothly for them last night...’
’Fuck!’
’I’m so jealous!’

The International Pet Expo.
This was the event Qin Yuenan and Lin Shen were attending this morning.
It was held at the Jinling International Expo Center, with several dozen exhibitors, including well-known leaders in the domestic and international pet industry.
This included Hill’s, a major producer of staple pet food, and Mars, which manufactures pet supplies, among others.
Even Merck, a leader in the pet healthcare industry, had set up a booth.
Furthermore, the variety of pets on display was extensive; it was no exaggeration to call it a grand event for the pet industry.
Pet Guardian Home’s booth was located in the northwest corner.
A huge company logo hung at the entrance. The shelves on the left were filled with Pet Guardian Home’s featured staple foods and treats for pets.
The shelves on the right held various pet toys and daily necessities like scratching posts.
In the middle was a fenced-off play area where several beautiful cats and dogs were running around.
Visitors could take off their shoes and go inside to play with the pets, which attracted a lot of attention.
"President Qin, this way, please."
Led by Wang Shuo, Qin Yuenan and Lin Shen arrived at the Pet Guardian Home booth. A staff member quickly approached to give them an introduction.
"This is our staple food section. The cat food uses..."
Qin Yuenan listened to her employee’s explanation with intense focus and concentration.
After all, a company’s booth is its public face. If you don’t even know your own products, how can you sell them to customers?
Fortunately, the employees chosen to staff the booth were elites from the sales team, exceptional in both their speaking skills and logical presentation.
Qin Yuenan nodded slightly, expressing her approval of the employee.
Lin Shen, on the other hand, focused his attention on the two large booths in the center.
Mars Petcare and Nestle Purina.
As the two comprehensive giants of the international pet industry, the breadth of their business was truly astonishing.
Staple food, treats, prescription diets, grooming products, cat litter, dog leashes... they even dabbled in products for parrots and ornamental fish.
’This is practically a monopoly on the pet industry, isn’t it?’
Lin Shen walked into the Mars booth. A parrot at the entrance suddenly squawked "Welcome!" in a perfectly clear voice, which took him by surprise.
