How sensible!
She really knows what to say!
For Shen Yun to have founded such a large food processing plant, her emotional intelligence was clearly very high!
No wonder Lin Shen had chosen to partner with her.
Qin Yuenan felt a new sense of goodwill toward Shen Yun. Her impression of the woman shifted from a potential business partner to a friend she could get to know well.
And so, the initial distance between the two women began to shrink as their conversation deepened, and their relationship grew closer.
Their topics of conversation were no longer limited to work, but increasingly veered into their personal lives.
Given Shen Yun’s older age, mature personality, and rich life experience, she was well-versed in how to read people and handle situations.
So, Qin Yuenan took the opportunity to ask her for advice on how to balance work and romance.
"Why do you need to balance them?"
Shen Yun raised her teacup for a small sip, a light smile on her face as she looked at Qin Yuenan’s earnest expression, ready to receive her teachings.
"Why can’t the two be integrated?"
"Don’t forget, you and Lin Shen are inseparable at work, too. Since that’s the case, why not just let things take their natural course?"
"But if I let too many personal feelings get involved at work, it’ll affect my decision-making."
This was exactly what Qin Yuenan had been worrying about. She held her teacup, her face a mask of distress.
"Right now, I can’t bring myself to object to any of Lin Shen’s decisions. If he makes a bad call, I don’t even have the ability to bail us out."
"Then you’ll face the difficulties together."
Shen Yun had Qin Yuenan imagine the worst-case scenario.
"If the company goes bankrupt, you’re a million in debt, and you’re living with him in a tiny rental apartment, cooking meals every day and working odd jobs to pay it all back... do you think that life would be terrible?"
"No."
Qin Yuenan shook her head, her tone exceptionally firm, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a strange light.
"I think that life would be wonderful."
"There you have it, then."
Shen Yun straightened up and leaned back, crossing her beautiful, black-stockinged legs. A captivating smile played on her lips.
"Could there possibly be a worse outcome than that?"
"..."
Qin Yuenan fell silent, seriously pondering Shen Yun’s words. She had to admit, the example she gave made a lot of sense.
’Since I’m prepared for even the worst-case scenario, why am I worrying needlessly?’
"Thank you for your advice."
Qin Yuenan thanked her from the bottom of her heart, which made Shen Yun’s smile all the more captivating.
"You’re welcome. Your relationship with Shen is really something special. You’re even willing to endure hardship with him if he falls on hard times."
"Isn’t that how it should be?"
Qin Yuenan was a little confused. Subconsciously, she felt that once you chose someone, you should stand by them through anything.
Besides, she believed that with Lin Shen’s abilities, he could make a comeback from any situation.
"That’s wonderful,"
Shen Yun said with a touch of envy.
"If only I’d had a relationship like that when I was younger!"
"Why did you get divorced?"
Qin Yuenan asked, her curiosity piqued.
After all, in her eyes, although Shen Yun wasn’t young, she had maintained her skin and figure exceptionally well.
She even possessed the unique, mature charm of a sophisticated woman. For someone in her forties, she was in a league of her own, completely crushing the competition.
On top of that, she was exceptionally capable and successful in her own right.
So Qin Yuenan couldn’t understand what kind of man would divorce such a career-driven woman.
’Wouldn’t it be better to just quietly enjoy the rest of his life with her?’
’Unless he was lusting after a younger girl.’
"I wasn’t planning on bringing this up again."
Shen Yun sighed softly. In order to build a better relationship with Qin Yuenan, she slowly recounted the emotional wounds she had suffered.
This came as a huge shock to Qin Yuenan. Her eyes went wide as she experienced the thrill of hearing juicy gossip for the first time.
’He actually cheated on her with his sister-in-law... That kind of drama-series plot really happens in real life!’
’How despicable!’
