Chapter 461: Chapter 223: Crisis 2
"Donât say that. You worked really hard to make the account successful too."
Lin Shenâs arm, already wrapped around Jiang Wanâs slender waist, tightened slightly as he chuckled.
"What do you want for lunch? Iâll take you out."
"Itâs still raining. Letâs not go out."
Jiang Wan suddenly sat up, batting her eyes and suggesting with a flirtatious charm.
"Want to try my cooking?"
"You can cook?"
"I can make a few simple dishes, but they might not be that good. Donât get your hopes up."
"Donât worry!"
Lin Shen chuckled.
"Iâm not a picky eater. As long as youâre the one cooking, Iâll love it."
"Youâre easy to please, then."
Jiang Wanâs eyes glinted as she suddenly asked a question.
"So...has Ms. Qin ever cooked for you?"
?
âWhy does she always have to bring Nan into things?â
âShe doesnât seem like the jealous type!â
âIs this the silent competition between women...?â
Lin Shen grumbled inwardly, then shook his head.
This made Jiang Wanâs face light up, giving her even more motivation to cook.
"Itâs okay. If sheâs never cooked for you, then I will."
Jiang Wan immediately headed to the kitchen, tied on an apron, and prepared to work her magic.
But when she rummaged through the fridge, she found it wasnât stocked with many ingredientsâjust various drinks, snacks, and simple breakfast foods.
There was steak and red wine in the freezer, but that wasnât suitable for a simple home-cooked meal.
"Donât you ever cook for yourself at home?"
Jiang Wan put her hands on her hips, looking at Lin Shen with an exasperated sigh.
"Thereâs nothing in your fridge!"
"I buy things as I need them. Fruits and vegetables are always freshest the day you buy them, even if you keep them in the fridge."
Lin Shen waved his phone and asked with a smile.
"What dishes do you want to make? I can order some groceries online. The delivery from the nearby market should only take about ten minutes."
"Hmm, letâs get a black-boned chicken for soup, and some tomatoes. No need to buy eggs; I see you already have some..."
"Okay."
After ordering the ingredients for Jiang Wan, Lin Shen went into his study. He sat down at his computer and slightly modified the company registration form he had submitted earlier.
Luckily, it was the weekend, so he still had a chance to make changes.
On a weekday, it probably would have been processed already.
After changing his stake in Shenwan Media to 80%, Lin Shen took out his phone to check his mission status.
[Shuaiyang:]
[Upgrade Mission: Register an MCN company with a personal stake of 80% or more. (Completed)]
[Reward: Rebate on all TikTok purchases increased from 60%â65%.]
[Reward: 1x Designated Skill Book (Please enter keywords to narrow the range of desired skills)]
[Upgrade Mission: Sign an artist to the company (must not be a company founder). (Incomplete)]
âA designated Skill Book?â
The upgrade from "random" to "designated" was a pleasant surprise for Lin Shen, and he mulled it over.
âTo be honest, I donât really need anything right now. The only thing Iâm lacking is probably experience in managing a company.â
So, Lin Shen tried entering a few keywords.
[Company Management], [Departmental Organization], [Financial Knowledge]...
In the end, the designated Skill Book returned a rather general result.
[Business Administration: Increases macro-level business awareness, enhances decision-making and risk-management capabilities in critical moments, develops relevant business mindsets, and effectively helps the host make appropriate decisions regarding company strategy and direction.]
âBusiness Administration?â
âHow is that different from management studies?â
Lin Shen looked it up. To put it simply, business administration deals with the question of direction: "Where should the company go, and what must it do to survive and be profitable?"
Management studies, on the other hand, deal with methodology: "How can we organize resources to efficiently achieve our goals?"
The former is externally focused, while the latter is internally focused.
A combination of the two is a required skill for any company leader.
Lin Shen decisively chose to learn it, using the two Experience Cards he had saved up to upgrade the skill.
[Congratulations! You have successfully learned: Advanced Business Administration (0/300)]
HISSâ!
Lin Shen drew a sharp breath, feeling a massive amount of unfamiliar knowledge suddenly flood his mind.
If not for his high Spirit Attribute, an ordinary person would have been suffering from a headache by now.
Lin Shen, however, only felt a slight pressure in his head, which gradually subsided after a few sips of water.
âI hope my brain doesnât just explode one day from all this foreign knowledge being crammed into it.â
Lin Shen grumbled to himself, rubbing the bridge of his sore nose. He left the study and stepped out onto the balcony, gazing at the outside world to clear his head and think.
Gradually, his body and mind relaxed completely, and the chaotic thoughts in his head began to untangle.
Lin Shen had been so busy with company matters lately that the missions from the cracked app had been stagnant for a long time.
He decided to make some progress on them this weekend.
For the Sports Health archery mission, he could take his senior to the range this afternoon. They could have some fun and scout for filming locations at the same time.
As for the GoGo Maps mission requiring a check-in at Sanya, that could be put on hold for now.
Lin Shen hadnât yet decided on a suitable travel companion.
Qin Yuenan and Jiang Wan were both busy lately, and the little girl and Qingqing were still in school.
Lin Ping was minding the shop, and Shen Yun was swamped with work due to changes on the production line.
Besides, Lin Shen himself had too much on his plate to find time for a trip.
So, he would just have to wait.
Heâd go to Sanya to relax when things quieted down.
As for the Big Blue Book mission to post about pets, Lin Shen had already published the post a long time ago. The response had been greatâit had even gone viral, giving the Shennan Pet Society another huge promotional boost.
