Chapter 397: Chapter 202: A Relaxed Job

She was afraid Lin Shen would get angry at her for being so pestering and was about to unsend the message.

Fortunately, Lin Shen was gracious enough to make time for her.

This filled Zheng Yanfei with joy and deeply moved her.

’Sob, sob, sob!’

’My man is so good to me!’

’He’s taking time out of his busy schedule just for me…’

“I have to prepare well, then!”

Zheng Yanfei pumped her fist to cheer herself on, wondering what she should wear for her date with Lin Shen tomorrow.

’Anyway, black stockings are a must. They’re his favorite.’

’As for the rest, I can just pick something.’_

’Rather than worry about that, I should be thinking about how to please him in bed tonight…’

Zheng Yanfei cupped her blushing cheeks. Though her expression was bashful, her heart was filled with anticipation and longing.

’I want to see him so badly…’

「September 15, 2025. Tuesday.」

26℃–35℃, Sunny, Level 2 Southeast Wind, 30% Humidity.

[Construction Bank: Your account ending in 7946 received a deposit of RMB 240,000 on September 15 at 00:01. Current Balance: 14,800,000]

At 6:00 AM, Lin Shen woke up two hours earlier than usual.

The reason was simple: he wanted to get back to the workout routine he had neglected for so long.

He’d been indulging too much with women lately, and Lin Shen felt like his life was going to waste.

’Time to get serious!’

’Self-discipline is the only way to become a better version of myself!’

So, after washing up, Lin Shen packed his things, slung his gym bag over his shoulder, and headed straight for the fitness center at No.1 Courtyard.

After a short warm-up, he started with five sets of dumbbell bench presses for his chest, followed by five sets of seated rows for his back, and finished with five sets of simple sit-ups for his abs.

As for why he didn’t train legs, it was because after his aerobic exercise, Lin Shen immediately followed up with a half-hour, high-paced anaerobic run.

’For a fitness enthusiast, this is a hellish schedule!’

Most people could rarely make it to the final step.

But Lin Shen gritted his teeth and pushed through. When he stepped off the treadmill, his feet felt light as feathers.

Fortunately, the long-dormant vitality in his body began to surge again, and his entire being gradually felt restored.

The refreshing feeling of breaking a sweat made Lin Shen feel incredibly comfortable in both body and mind.

’Working out is the one activity that truly lives up to the saying “you reap what you sow.” Not a single drop of sweat is wasted!’

“Ahhh, that feels great!”

Lin Shen let out a long breath, took a quick shower, then returned home to change and prepare to go out for business.

He planned to acquire his fourth business asset.

This time, of course, it wasn’t a Cat Cafe, but a cattery.

It was a pet cat breeding center that primarily focused on raising Ragdoll cats.

Using the industry analysis mini-program on GoGo Maps, Lin Shen used search terms like “on the verge of bankruptcy,” “highly educated owner,” and “operates with integrity” to successfully find a cattery that met his requirements.

[Miaomiao House Ragdoll Cat Breeding Center]

[Location: P East New District]

[Area: 300㎡]

[Required Capital: 6 million for property acquisition, 1 million for breeding cats, 500,000 for infrastructure, 200,000 for labor costs, 300,000 for other costs. Total: 8 million]

[Net Profit: -20,000/month]

[ROI: 30%]

’Only eight million?’

Honestly, the price was so low it caught Lin Shen completely by surprise.

He hadn’t expected commercial land in the suburbs of Modu to be this cheap.

’That’s only twenty thousand per square meter! If this were in the city center, it would cost at least ten or twenty million.’

“No time to waste. I’m heading out now.”

Lin Shen went downstairs, got in his car, and followed the navigation to the entrance of the Miaomiao House Ragdoll Cat Breeding Center.

After he stated his purpose, the owner, guided by a staff member, quickly came out to greet him, respectfully extending a hand.

“Hello! I’m Yang Han, the owner of this Miaomiao House Pet Cat Breeding Center. And you are?”

“Lin.”

“Boss Lin, hello! You look so young!”

Yang Han quickly exclaimed, trying to get on his good side, before asking with an expectant look.

“Are you here today to pick out a cat to take home? We just got a new show-quality Ragdoll. It’s beautiful!”

“No.”

Seeing Lin Shen shake his head, Yang Han’s eyes lit up.

“Could it be that you’re the owner of a Cat Cafe, looking to bring in some Ragdolls?”

“Something like that,” Lin Shen said with a faint smile.

“I want to acquire your pet cat breeding center directly.”

Huh?

’A direct buyout?’

The words left Yang Han stunned. It took him a moment to recover. He licked his dry lips, his expression one of disbelief.

“Are… are you sure?”

“Does it look like I’m joking?”

Lin Shen raised an eyebrow, teasing himself.

“Or do you think I’m too young to be qualified?”

“No, no!”

Yang Han hurriedly waved his hands. Even if he thought so, he wouldn’t dare say it out loud.

He did, in fact, think Lin Shen was too young to be a big boss looking to acquire a business.

But in a place like Modu, full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, no one dared to underestimate a well-dressed young man.

Just by looking at the watch on his left wrist, Yang Han was certain that his identity was anything but simple!

So, he didn’t dare to be neglectful and directly led Lin Shen into his pet cat breeding center.

“How about I show you around and give you an introduction?”

“Sure.”

Although he had a basic understanding of the Miaomiao House Pet Cat Breeding Center from the industry analysis, this was his first time seeing the interior.

Under Yang Han’s guidance, Lin Shen changed into a clean medical gown, put on a mask, and underwent a full-body disinfection before he was allowed to enter the breeding center.

The interior was broadly divided into five areas.

The breeding cat area, the kitten rearing area, a medical room, a disinfection corridor, and a staff lounge.

The equipment included temperature-controlled breeding incubators, smart cat cages, and various daily necessities for the cats.

A fresh air system kept the air inside the breeding center exceptionally fresh, and the environment was relatively clean and comfortable.

The kittens also looked lively and active, utterly adorable.

“These large Ragdolls are all breeding-quality cats that we’ve carefully selected. The market price for one is about ten to twenty thousand.”

“And these few are newly acquired show-quality breeding cats, about forty thousand each.”

’Forty thousand?’

’So expensive!’

Even though Lin Shen was rich, it didn’t stop him from complaining about the price of breeding cats.

’So bloodlines really do have a pecking order!’

Guided by Yang Han, Lin Shen toured their pet cat breeding center and got to know a bit about the man himself.

He graduated from the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Oxford University and had been a researcher at the Wellcome Trust Center.

Just these two points on his resume were enough to shock Lin Shen.

He could tell from Yang Han’s manner of speaking that he was highly educated, but he never expected him to be *this* highly educated!

’This guy is a real talent!’

’Why would he come back to China to get into the pet cat breeding industry?’

Lin Shen couldn’t figure it out and asked out of curiosity.

“Isn’t this line of work a bit of a waste of your talents?”

“It might be because of my own prideful personality. I didn’t want to work for someone else, so I decided to start my own business and be my own boss,” Yang Han explained with a smile.

“I actually thought that pet cat breeding in China was a blue ocean. After all, no one was doing it, and with the expansion of the middle class, the market feedback should have been positive.”

“But I never expected it to be so difficult! Maybe I chose the wrong breed of cat in the beginning. In any case, business has been slow.”

Seeing Yang Han’s distressed sigh and gloomy expression, Lin Shen pointed out with a smile, “Could it be that your advertising didn’t keep up?”

“It needs advertising?”

Yang Han raised an eyebrow, his expression full of pride.

“Good wine needs no bush. The cats I breed are absolutely top-of-the-line in this industry, second to none!”

“Those who know, know. For those who don’t, I can’t be bothered to explain.”

’So that’s how it is…’

Lin Shen could see the reason for Yang Han’s failure at a glance: he was too arrogant.

’But it’s understandable. If I had his academic background, I’d probably look down my nose at people all day, too.’

’But times have changed! This isn’t the era of “good wine needs no bush” anymore. This is the era of “traffic is king”!’

’Without promotion and marketing, no one will buy your product, no matter how good it is.’

However, while Yang Han had flaws in his personality, his abilities were undeniable.

Recognizing his talent, Lin Shen felt a desire to recruit him and took the initiative to extend an offer.

“If I acquire your breeding center, would you be willing to work with me?”

“Are you also in pet cat breeding?”

“That’s part of it,” Lin Shen said with a smile. “My business is the entire pet industry.”

“Why don’t we find a place to talk properly?”

“Alright.”

Perhaps sensing that Lin Shen’s background was not ordinary, Yang Han was quite interested in him.

So the two of them sat down in the office and began to chat, sharing their views and ideas about the pet industry.

As it turned out, their views were perfectly aligned!
