Financial Independence through Cracked Apps-Chapter 64: Little Cook

10:00 AM, Modu’s Tianhua Jaguar Land Rover dealership.

After getting out of the car, Lin Shen felt a restless excitement stirring within him, and even his steps became hurried.

A childhood dream was finally coming true.

’Maybe this is what happiness feels like?’

"Hello, sir."

As soon as Lin Shen walked into the dealership, a female sales associate approached him with a smile.

"Are you here to look at cars?"

"I’m here to pick up my car."

Lin Shen smiled faintly.

"My surname is Lin."

"Of course, Mr. Lin! I’ll get that arranged for you right away."

The sales associate immediately bowed and made an inviting gesture toward Lin Shen.

"Please have a seat on the sofa for a moment."

"Okay."

Lin Shen had only been sitting on the sofa in the lobby for a moment when the male sales associate who had sold him the car came jogging over.

"Mr. Lin! You’re finally here."

Li Mo bowed, took Lin Shen’s right hand in both of his, and gave him a polite, warm smile.

"Your car and I have been waiting for you for quite some time. Please, follow me!"

"Alright."

Lin Shen followed Li Mo to the pickup area next to the main hall. Even though the entire vehicle was covered by a brown dust cloth, it couldn’t hide the distinguished presence of the Jaguar XFL.

Balloons and fresh flowers had been arranged nearby, and behind the car was a large backdrop with the Jaguar brand logo.

Beneath the powerful, fierce jaguar was a line of text.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin Shen on becoming our valued Jaguar owner!"

"Mr. Lin, why don’t you pull off the dust cover yourself and inspect your new car?"

Li Mo said with a smile.

"I’ll record it for you, to capture this wonderful moment!"

"Thank you."

Lin Shen eagerly walked to the front of the car and slowly pulled away the dust cover that concealed it.

Instantly, the sleek black paint shimmered with a brilliant luster under the lights.

The car’s lines were smooth and natural, exuding luxury and grandeur.

The moment Lin Shen saw the car in person, an indescribable joy bloomed in his chest, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

He reached out to feel the smooth texture of the car’s surface, inspecting it carefully from front to back. After confirming the new car had no scratches, he couldn’t help but let out a small sigh of relief.

"No problems."

"Excellent. Mr. Lin, please follow me."

Li Mo smiled politely.

"We’ll sign the contract first, and then you can drive your new car home."

"Okay."

Afterward, Lin Shen followed Li Mo to the VIP room to discuss the pickup details.

The process was simple in theory, consisting of just signing for the inspection, handling the insurance, and getting the license plates.

But it was also incredibly tedious; the last two steps alone took up the entire lunch period.

Fortunately, the dealership provided a free lunch, and even offered drinks and small snacks.

Lin Shen ate while waiting for Li Mo to handle the paperwork, taking the opportunity to open his phone and reply to a message from Gu Wanqing.

[Gu Wanqing: Brother-in-law! What do people usually bring to college? I’m so torn!]

[Lin Shen: Carry the necessary documents with you. You can mail your clothes, toiletries, and five-piece bedding set to the school ahead of time. Buy everything else online.]

[Gu Wanqing: Okie dokie!]

[Gu Wanqing: I’m so excited for school to start! This way I can live in the same city as you, Brother-in-law! (っ´▽｀)っ]

Huh?

Lin Shen’s expression froze for a second before he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, deciding to tease this cute little chef.

[Lin Shen: You’re that eager to be in the same city as me?]

[Gu Wanqing: Yep! Because I really miss the time I spent with you, Brother-in-law.]

[Gu Wanqing: How about... I don’t live in the dorms and just move in with you, Brother-in-law?]

COUGH! COUGH!

Lin Shen had just taken a sip of coffee when he saw Gu Wanqing’s message and immediately choked.

After a few violent coughs, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and typed back a helpless reply.

[Lin Shen: No way.]

[Gu Wanqing: Huh? Why not? (,,•́.•̀,,)]

[Gu Wanqing: I can cook and I can clean!]

[Lin Shen: Still no!]

’Does this girl even understand the real meaning of a man and a woman living together?!’

Lin Shen was a little troubled.

Gu Wanqing was so naive that he was genuinely worried she would be bullied after starting college.

After all, the relationships in girls’ dorms could be very complicated, often full of scheming and backstabbing.

[Lin Shen: Let’s drop this topic. Living in the dorms is a necessary part of your college experience.]

[Gu Wanqing: Okay... I have something else I wanted your advice on, Brother-in-law!]

[Gu Wanqing: Photo.jpg]

[Gu Wanqing: My friend said the JK style would suit me, so I bought a skirt. What do you think, Brother-in-law?]

?

Lin Shen froze when he saw the photo Gu Wanqing sent.

In the mirror, she wore a simple white blouse with a light pink pleated skirt, revealing a pair of slender, straight, beautiful legs.

Paired with scrunchy socks that covered half her calves, the whole outfit was cute and charming, making her look like that idealized crush from one’s high school days.

It’s just...

Lin Shen broke into a knowing smile.

[Lin Shen: Looks great, but you used the leg-stretching filter, didn’t you?]

[Gu Wanqing: I’msoangry.jpg]

[Gu Wanqing: Brother-in-law!! Do you have to be so sharp-eyed?! I just happened to download an app and tried out its leg-stretching feature!]

[Gu Wanqing: My legs are actually really long!]

To prove it, Gu Wanqing sent the original, unedited photo.

Although her legs looked quite a bit shorter, she somehow seemed even cuter.

’If those legs were wearing white stockings...’

A not-so-great thought suddenly popped into Lin Shen’s head, but he quickly banished it.

[Lin Shen: The JK style really suits you.]

[Gu Wanqing: Hehe! Thanks for the compliment and the advice, Brother-in-law!]

[Lin Shen: Mm.]

Lin Shen tossed the watermelon rind he’d finished into the trash can and suddenly received a call from a delivery driver.

"Hello! Is this Mr. Lin? I have a package for you. Are you home?"

"I’m not home right now."

Lin Shen said softly.

"Could you come back around 4 PM?"

"Okay."

After hanging up, ripples once again disturbed the calm of Lin Shen’s heart.

’The camera must have arrived.’

’With it, I can complete the ’Camera and Album’ task.’

Lin Shen now had four "cracked" apps.

"ReceivePal" was for getting money, "Sports Health" was for improving his physical fitness, and "GoGo Maps" was for managing his properties.

’So what does ’Camera and Album’ do?’

Lin Shen began to look forward to seeing what kind of changes this cracked app would bring him.

Just then, Li Mo walked into the VIP room holding a document folder.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your patience."

After sitting down, Li Mo began to explain the various contracts and insurance policies in detail to Lin Shen, and also issued the invoice.

"Mr. Lin, let’s go get your car."

"Alright."

Back in the pickup area, Lin Shen stood in front of the car holding the bouquet of flowers. Unsure how to pose, he just made a peace sign in front of his chest and beamed a brilliant smile.

Li Mo captured the moment on his phone, then took out a party popper and congratulated him with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your trust and for choosing the Jaguar brand! May the leaping jaguar launch you into a life of ’Jaguar’ power."

"May your future be prosperous, and may all the news you hear be news of victory!"
