"Holy shit! The owner of Shennan Pet Society is loaded! What’s the pay like? The environment?"
"I’ve seen stuff about it online. It’s all pretty good. According to insiders, the salary starts at ten thousand! They even sign labor contracts, so you’re a full-time employee!"
"Huh? For real? If they’re actually hiring full-time, I’d quit right now and go for an interview! As long as they provide full benefits, forget ten thousand, I’d even do it for eight!"
"I don’t know, but anyway, the owner of Shennan Pet Society isn’t hurting for cash. When is our boss going to be a little more generous? Stop being so stingy. We can’t even get a day off..."
"Shh! The boss is here!"
When their boss, dressed in a full suit, walked in, the gossiping employees quickly scattered, their minds buzzing with questions.
’Why is he here?’
’And dressed so formally... Is he meeting an important client?’
The boss took a seat near the door and gazed outside, which meant the employees didn’t dare to slack off.
A moment later, he suddenly stood up, his perpetually tense expression breaking into a brilliant smile.
Immediately after, two people walked into the shop.
The man was dressed in designer clothes and a luxury watch. With his tall, straight posture and handsome features, he was the very picture of a rich, attractive man.
The woman, on the other hand, was mature and sensuously dressed. She held the young man’s arm as she walked, looking almost like his young stepmother.
"Boss Lin, you’re here!"
The Meow Star Boss hurried forward to shake Lin Shen’s hand, a sycophantic smile plastered on his face.
"My name is Ren Xu. It’s a pleasure to meet you!"
"Lin Shen."
Seeing Ren Xu’s respectful attitude, Lin Shen’s earlier nervousness completely dissipated.
’Looks like GoGo Maps wasn’t lying. The properties it gave me must be real.’
"And this is..."
"Shen Yun."
Shen Yun didn’t specify her relationship with Lin Shen, simply offering a brief greeting to Ren Xu.
After all, she was just playing a supporting role today; Lin Shen was the protagonist.
Ren Xu’s expression faltered for a second, but he didn’t probe into Shen Yun’s identity, instead gesturing for the two of them to follow.
"Boss Lin, Boss Shen, let’s talk in the back."
"Alright."
Seeing their boss obsequiously lead the pair to the back of the shop, the few employees who were watching the drama unfold were stunned.
One of them, who seemed to recognize Lin Shen, frantically poked the colleague next to him in the side.
"Hey, hey! I think that guy is the owner of Shennan Pet Society!"
"Huh? He’s so young, are you sure?"
"I’m ninety percent sure! I watched the Shennan Pet Society livestream yesterday, and their owner is a super good-looking guy! In some ways, he’s even more famous than his shop!"
"Then the reason he’s here... Don’t tell me... he’s going to buy our shop?"
"Holy shit! That would be amazing! Maybe our salaries would go up, too!"
"I think you just want to gawk at the handsome guy! ’A raise’..."
"Hey, hey, hey, don’t call me out like that!"
...
"Please, have a seat, both of you."
Once in the office, Ren Xu got straight to the point. He took out a file folder and pulled out a stack of documents for the shop’s transfer.
It even included a thick stack of financial records.
Lin Shen, sitting on the sofa, gave them a quick look-over.
’After all costs, it’s still clearing a few thousand a day. That’s pretty good.’
"Not bad."
Lin Shen nodded in satisfaction and, as a formality, asked for the opinion of Shen Yun beside him.
"What do you think?"
"The shop is in a great location, right in the main commercial district, and the decor has a lot of personality. It’s just... the transfer price..."
When Shen Yun saw the fifteen million price tag written on the contract, she couldn’t help but look stunned.
’That’s way too high!’
’The location might make it more expensive, but how much profit would this Cat Cafe have to make to recoup over ten million!’
’At a profit of six thousand a day, it would take at least eight or nine years.’
"You’ve already bought it?"
