Chapter 470: Chapter 226: Shenwan Media

When Jiang Wan first mentioned she had a younger brother, Lin Shen had worried she might be one of those "brother-worshippers" you always hear about online.

Looking at her now, she was hardly a "brother-worshipper"!

She was clearly a "boyfriend-worshipper"!

’She didn’t leave her savings for her family, but instead gave them to me, her boyfriend, to start a business?’

’Senior should know I have plenty of money, right?’

’And yet she transferred it all to me without a second thought...’

Lin Shen’s gaze softened, his heart filled with an endless warmth.

While waiting at a red light, he gently took Jiang Wan’s hand and spoke with deep affection.

"Senior, I’ll transfer four hundred thousand to you later. Take it and use it for now. If it’s not enough, just let me know."

"Huh?"

Jiang Wan froze for a moment, then quickly came to her senses and waved her hands in refusal.

"No, you don’t have to! Four hundred thousand is way too much!"

"How about two hundred thousand, then?"

"I don’t need that either. Why are you always trying to give me money?"

Jiang Wan said, puffing her cheeks.

"The money I gave you was supposed to be the startup fund for our Shenwan Media. What’s the deal with you giving it back to me? Do you think I’m stupid and don’t want to include me anymore?"

"Not at all."

Lin Shen gave a helpless smile and explained.

"This is just a formality to prevent any disagreements over company shares later on. I only took your two hundred thousand for appearances’ sake. You don’t really think I’m short on cash, do you, Senior?"

"Of course I know you have money, it’s just..."

"No ’it’s just’."

Lin Shen cut Jiang Wan off. His tone was gentle, but it carried a firmness that brooked no refusal.

"I’ll transfer the money to your bank card later. Just accept it."

"..."

Faced with Lin Shen’s domineering manner, Jiang Wan covered the back of his hand with her left, clenched her right fist, and bit her lip. She was deeply moved, and her beautiful eyes even began to glisten with unshed tears.

"Junior, why are you so good to me?"

"Because I like you, Senior."

The corners of Lin Shen’s mouth curled up. The faint smile, combined with the way he turned the steering wheel with one hand, made his profile look incredibly handsome.

"We’re a couple. Isn’t it only natural for a boyfriend to be good to his girlfriend?"

"..."

Jiang Wan pressed her lips together, too moved to say a word.

She knew that to Lin Shen, this four hundred thousand was just a drop in the bucket.

But to her, it was an astronomical sum.

Before, never mind two hundred thousand; even saving up one hundred thousand would have made Jiang Wan happy for a long time.

If it weren’t for Lin Shen, she could never have imagined earning so much money.

It was all thanks to that viral short film he helped her shoot, which had shown her a path forward for her future.

Four hundred thousand might not be a lot to him, but it represented the depth of Lin Shen’s love for her.

In that moment, the tightness in Jiang Wan’s heart, which had been caused by Qin Yuenan’s existence, completely vanished!

She believed that no matter how many other women were around Lin Shen, he would always have a special place for her in his heart!

"Junior, I love you."

In response to Lin Shen’s confession, Jiang Wan replied sincerely from the bottom of her heart, her soft gaze overflowing with deep emotion.

"I love you so much."

"Me too."

Gazing into Jiang Wan’s glistening, passionate eyes, Lin Shen had reason to suspect that if the car wasn’t moving, she probably would have kissed him already.

’So Senior is this easy to move and satisfy.’

Lin Shen hadn’t expected that a mere four hundred thousand could move Jiang Wan so deeply.

’If she knew I also bought her an eight-hundred-thousand-yuan Yangwang U7, wouldn’t she be completely head over heels?’

Lin Shen mused to himself, then quickly changed the subject to keep the atmosphere from becoming overly sentimental.

"By the way, Senior, what’s your brother’s name?"

"Jiang Chi."

The moment she spoke of her brother, an incredibly gentle smile appeared on Jiang Wan’s face.

"His name is Jiang Chi. In Chinese, it sounds like the word for ’persevere,’ and my parents hoped he would always persevere in doing what he loves."

"Plus, the character ’Chi’ means to gallop or race, which is perfect for a boy who runs on a sports field. So I think it suits his personality perfectly."

"He’s tenacious, hardworking, diligent, and kind. My brother is an outstanding person."

"He sounds great."

Lin Shen nodded. As his ’brother-in-law,’ it was only natural for him to get the details about his ’little brother-in-law.’

Jiang Chi was a senior in high school back in their county town. His academic performance was average, but he was an outstanding football player and the undisputed star of the school’s team.

Whenever the team played away games, he always won the Best Striker award. You could say he was a very talented forward.

Lin Shen knew very well that for a kid from a remote, mountainous area to make it out, specializing in a sport could be an excellent option.

After all, there was still a gap in the quality of academic education compared to developed areas. But for kids who had helped with farm work since they were young, their physical Constitution was absolutely top-notch!

"If your brother is really that talented at football..."

Lin Shen’s eyes lit up as he suddenly proposed an idea.

"I can sponsor him to try out for the youth training camps of various football clubs, and even send him abroad to train."

"Huh? Really?"

Jiang Wan’s expression was full of surprise, but then a hint of worry crept in.

"That must cost a lot of money..."

"As long as he can make a name for himself, I can earn back any amount of money I spend."

Lin Shen said confidently.

"Senior, you might not know much about football, but it’s the most popular sport in the world. The average value of a player is number one in the sports world."

"So, if your brother can make it, no matter how much money I invest in him, I’ll be able to earn it back."

"Is that so."

Jiang Wan really didn’t know much about this, but she could tell from Lin Shen’s words that he seemed genuinely interested in developing Jiang Chi’s potential.

’Of course, the prerequisite is that he has to have exceptional talent in football.’

’In that case, maybe I can find a chance for Lin Shen to meet Little Chi!’
