Chapter 599: Chapter 289: Shennan’s First Team Building (2)

"That’s why I helped him manufacture pet food, invested money to help him build his business, and used my own experience so he could avoid making unnecessary mistakes."

"It’s not that he completely conquered me. I did it because I wanted to. I felt it would bring me more happiness and a different kind of experience."

Shen Yun’s seductive eyes narrowed slightly as she raised her wine glass to Lin Ping.

"It’s the same with playing these little games. This kind of novelty is a rare treat. Why not enjoy it together?"

"After all, Shen and I have tried so many things, just the two of us. Of course, there are still some things we haven’t gotten to, but that’s only because Shen hasn’t had the time."

"If we had the time, I could stay in bed with him for three days and three nights straight, serving him in all sorts of ways."

"If we added you to the mix, Lin, I could teach you many little tricks for pleasing a man. It’ll help you capture Shen’s heart."

"..."

To be honest, while the first part of their talk about life philosophy did make Lin Ping’s heart flutter, it wasn’t enough to make her agree to their "game."

But Shen Yun’s last sentence made Lin Ping’s heart race.

She was desperate to win Lin Shen’s favor. With more and more women entering his life, providing a constant stream of novelty, she knew that as one of his first partners, her own newness would eventually fade.

’When that happens, I’ll have to figure out how to maintain my relationship with Lin Shen.’

And in that regard, Shen Yun was the best teacher she could ask for!

She didn’t just have ample business experience; her age also gave her an advantage, making her more knowledgeable about how to please a man.

’Otherwise, President Lin wouldn’t have gotten involved with an older woman like her.’

’Isn’t being a seductress the advantage of a mature woman?’

’Maybe I can learn from her in that department.’

Seeing Lin Ping’s wavering expression, Shen Yun smiled and linked her arm through hers.

"Don’t make a decision just yet. It was just a casual suggestion. Let me know when you’ve had time to think about it."

"Okay."

Lin Ping gave a slight nod. Just then, Lin Shen’s car, a Maybach S680, slowly pulled up to the curb.

Then, Lin Shen and Qin Yuenan stepped out of the car. The woman, who was known at the company as a cool and aloof queen, was even linking arms with Lin Shen.

This bold act, a clear declaration of her claim, left all the Shennan employees present dumbfounded.

After all, they had never seen this delicate, clinging side of Qin Yuenan.

’So they really are a couple!’

’When they’re with their boyfriends, even a strong, aloof woman like President Qin turns into a doting girlfriend, doesn’t she?’

The employees all rose to their feet, watching as a smiling Lin Shen approached with Qin Yuenan.

"Looks like everyone’s here."

Lin Shen smiled, scanned the crowd, and began the opening speech that Xu Lei had prepared for him on the way over.

"I’m delighted to see all of you here today, and I appreciate you all coming out."

"To be honest, I’ve always been on the other side of these team-building events, just attending them. This is my first time organizing one, so if there’s anything you’re not happy with, please let me know. We’ll do better next time."

Lin Shen’s humble and friendly opening immediately won over all the employees.

After all, it was rare to find a CEO so down-to-earth.

Everyone burst into applause and cheers, which made Lin Shen let out a quiet sigh of relief. He then continued, speaking about Shennan’s corporate culture.

"We’re in the pet industry, which makes us different from other companies."

"Other companies might talk about KPIs and performance metrics, but we talk about how to make cats feel more at ease during care, how to keep dogs from feeling lonely while being boarded, and how to help families solve their ’sweet little troubles’."

"I believe that to work in the pet industry, you need to be professional, but more importantly, you need to have a deep-seated love and gentleness in your heart."

"I see many of you brought your pets today. Why don’t we start by having everyone introduce their little treasures?"

After he finished, the Shennan employees began to introduce the pets they had brought, one by one.

From Samoyeds to tabby cats, most of them were dogs and cats, with only a few mentioning they had hamsters at home.

Only one young woman with glasses, who looked quite studious, said that her pet was a spider!

That caught Lin Shen off guard, but he figured having diverse interests wasn’t a bad thing.

It felt less like a Shennan company team-building event and more like a gathering for pet lovers.

Lin Shen listened intently as each employee shared stories about their pets, then remarked with a smile.

"I knew it. Passion is the foundation of our work."

"People say that when your hobby becomes your job, you lose your passion for it. But I don’t think that’s true when it comes to pets."

"When you pour your Spirit into the lovely cat or dog that keeps you company, you experience a happiness like no other."

"People are so starved for companionship these days. Whether you’re a worker living a monotonous life commuting between home and the office, or parents longing for their children to visit, everyone needs something to invest their feelings in."

"Pets are the perfect medium for that. They let you feel the warmth of companionship."

"That’s why Shennan’s slogan has always been: ’With Shennan as your companion, the hearts of people and pets are connected.’ I hope you will all spread the word and help more people join our big Shennan family!"

"YEAH!"

Lin Shen’s speech wasn’t full of empty, corporate jargon. He spoke in simple, heartfelt language.

But it was precisely this ordinary, even unpolished, way of speaking that truly resonated with the employees.

They would much rather have a boss like Lin Shen—a down-to-earth, approachable person their own age.

Not some slick, smarmy middle-aged man.

As a result, the employees’ attitude toward Lin Shen went beyond the typical admiration for a superior. They were genuinely captivated by his personal Charm.

He also took the opportunity to announce the perks for the event.

"Transportation to and from the event and a full day of meals are on us, of course. There will also be prizes for the activities, which the host will introduce later."

"And after the event ends tonight, everyone will receive a small gift from Shennan. I hope you all have a great time."

With that, Lin Shen handed the microphone to the event planner who had been waiting patiently at the side, the host for the day’s activities.

The morning activities his team had designed for Shennan were all pet-related.

First up was a pet knowledge quiz.

It was full of trivia about pets, including questions like the normal body temperature range for a cat and the typical daily food intake for an adult Bichon Frise. It was a fun way to share knowledge and also identify the most capable employees.

Of course, there were also questions about the Shennan company itself.

For example, what are the main types of pet food we produce? How many physical stores have we opened so far? And so on.

These questions not only deepened everyone’s understanding of Shennan but also helped identify employees who were serious about their jobs.

Accordingly, the prizes were very generous: exclusive, custom-made Shennan gift packages.

However, since Lin Shen hadn’t commissioned a company logo yet, they had to use plain paper bags for now.

But the contents were anything but ordinary. There were pet collars and pet food, and even... office equipment for the employees.

An Apple laptop!

Lin Shen had been wondering how to distribute the dozens of Apple computers he had without causing resentment from those who didn’t receive one.

After much thought, he decided to give away the Apple laptops he had recently purchased as prizes for the team-building activities.

This level of generosity left the fifty-plus Shennan employees completely stunned.

WTF!?

’President Lin is this generous?’

In their experience, prizes at team-building events were always useless little trinkets.

Things like souvenirs or refrigerator magnets—basically, worthless junk.

At best, they might get a cheap water bottle or a t-shirt.

But they never imagined Lin Shen would just give away Apple laptops worth over ten thousand yuan!

’It might be technically on loan for work, but as long as you don’t quit, it’s basically yours!’

A company would never randomly take back an employee’s work equipment for no reason.

So, it was basically a gift.

This was the kind of generous prize most companies only offered at their annual galas, if at all.

Lin Shen’s generosity was a real eye-opener for the Shennan staff.

’Just look at him!’

’Now that’s what you call a big spender!’

’He’s a true entrepreneur of the people!’

’Giving away laptops to employees, and Apple ones at that!’

And so, the employees’ enthusiasm reached a fever pitch. They scrambled to answer every question, and in the end, three of them won the grand prize.

"Thank you, President Lin!"

After receiving their Apple laptops, they immediately thanked Lin Shen. As soon as they stepped away, they excitedly posted on their social media to show off:

"Company’s first team-building event, and the activity prize is actually an Apple laptop! What other company even has benefits like this?! I’m going to work at Shennan until I die!"
