Chapter 632 - 306: Senior’s First Time in Black Stockings

Chapter 632: Chapter 306: Senior’s First Time in Black Stockings

8:00 PM.

The two-hour French dinner was finally over.

Lin Shen recalled that they had eaten quite a few dishes.

Things like raw abalone, Spanish red prawns, Tournedos Rossini, and a few other dishes whose names he couldn’t remember.

There must have been close to twenty different kinds.

By that calculation, each dish averaged only about four hundred yuan, which wasn’t too expensive.

It was just that to allow customers to sample a wider variety of cuisine, the portion sizes were rather small.

Some of the dishes Lin Shen quite enjoyed were gone in just a few bites.

But fortunately, he wasn’t a picky eater and had eaten his fill.

Then, the ten of them were taken back to Bund No. 18 by shuttle bus.

Everyone who met here did so by fate, and besides, anyone who could afford to dine at Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet was either rich or powerful.

They either came from wealthy families or were highly capable themselves.

Therefore, it had become an unspoken custom for each group of diners to exchange contact information.

And Lin Shen became the most popular one of all.

Of the five pairs of diners, besides the three couples which included Lin Shen, the other two were pairs of female best friends.

After seeing Lin Shen, they were like fans who had met their favorite celebrity in person. Their eyes were glued to him, completely unable to look away.

’He’s so handsome!’

Their thoughts were surprisingly in sync.

And it was true. Thanks to the buffs from the system’s various items, Lin Shen’s appearance was subtly beginning to surpass his wealth as the primary factor in his appeal to women.

After all, the people who could dine at Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet weren’t short on cash, so the women naturally cared more about a man’s looks.

A handsome man, after all, was a rarer commodity than a beautiful woman.

So, even though they saw Lin Shen had brought his girlfriend to dinner, the other women still used the excuse of exchanging WeChat contacts to add him.

Of course, Jiang Wan noticed something was off.

After all, when the others added Lin Shen, it was just a polite formality at most.

’But you four, what are you staring at Lin Shen’s face for?’

Jiang Wan was suddenly displeased.

She could tolerate Lin Shen having feelings for other women, but she absolutely would not allow other women to have feelings for Lin Shen!

If Lin Shen was the one initiating, it could be forgiven, but the latter would lead to a surprising number of rivals!

"What’s this? A bunch of beauties added you on WeChat. You look pretty happy about it."

After returning to Bund No. 18 on the shuttle bus, Jiang Wan teased him, linking her arm with his and leaning her face in close.

"Let me see what they’re talking to you about."

"It’s nothing."

Although Lin Shen said it was nothing, the four young women quickly sent him messages all at once.

The messages were a collection of pickup lines, including: "Hey handsome, how old are you?", "You’re so hot! Have you ever acted in a TV show?", and "Is that your girlfriend next to you? Sorry to bother you if she is, but if not, would you want to get a meal sometime? My treat."

Lin Shen didn’t even want to bother replying after a single glance, but Jiang Wan, on the other hand, read them with great interest and couldn’t help but tease him.

"My dear junior Lin Shen is so popular. You’re getting added on WeChat even with your girlfriend right next to you. If I weren’t here, would there be even more?"

"I can’t be bothered with them."

Right in front of Jiang Wan, Lin Shen deleted the WeChat contacts of the women he had just added.

It’s true that more friends mean more connections, but based on their brief conversation when they met, Lin Shen didn’t think these women were the kind of valuable contacts who could help him in business.

Since there was no benefit to the relationship, he might as well just say goodbye.

Seeing Lin Shen act so decisively, Jiang Wan’s heart warmed. She took the initiative to kiss his cheek and chuckled softly.

"Such a good boy. There’s a reward for good behavior, you know."

"Then this little reward isn’t enough to satisfy me."

Lin Shen smiled and took Jiang Wan’s arm. Just then, Ma Zifan walked over with his arm around An Qian and pointed to the towering Bulgari Hotel nearby.

"We’re heading there. What about you two?"

"We’re going home."

Lin Shen and Ma Zifan looked at each other, and both understood the unspoken message that only men would get.

Of course, An Qian wasn’t embarrassed either. They were all adults, after all. When you go out for a night, everyone knows what the goal is.

She even waved goodbye to Jiang Wan with an excited smile.

"Jiang Wan! I’m heading off! We’ll talk on WeChat later."

"Okay."

Seeing how quickly Jiang Wan and An Qian had gotten along, Lin Shen was suddenly a little curious.

"What were you two talking about?"

"Clothes, bags, and jewelry."

Having been with Lin Shen for so long, Jiang Wan, who used to know nothing about these things, had gradually learned how to make small talk with his friends about luxury goods.

’Is this what it feels like to climb the social ladder because of your boyfriend?’

Jiang Wan suddenly felt a lot of pressure. She was afraid that one day, she’d meet an important contact Lin Shen needed for a business partnership and end up ruining the relationship because she said the wrong thing.

"I heard her say Ma Zifan’s family is in foreign trade? And they’re like, top three in the country?"

"I’m not sure."

Lin Shen shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about his friend’s family background.

"His family’s really rich, anyway."

"It feels like all your friends are so impressive."

Jiang Wan couldn’t help but worry.

"Will I make them look at you differently?"

"Why? Is being a college counselor some kind of shameful profession?"

Lin Shen seemed to sense the faint inferiority complex deep inside Jiang Wan, so he put his arm around her and comforted her gently.

"You’re already doing much better than a lot of other women. Besides, among men, if you look down on your friend’s girlfriend, it just means you aren’t really friends."

"Because that would mean he looks down on your judgment, and by extension, looks down on you."
