Miss Lin went out for an inspection this morning and will likely return in about a week. Please let me know if you have any requests.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Held in Lin Bingyun’s arms, An Sheng stared seriously at the entrance carpet and pointed at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a silk-and-wool blend carpet. Considering Master Fuli’s unique needs, I tested various materials myself and customized this entrance mat,” Lin Bingyun explained with a smile, inviting An Sheng to sit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a professional butler, beyond handling daily chores and the family’s private financial matters, the most important duty is ensuring the master enjoys a comfortable and secure living environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Fuli doesn’t wear shoes; his paw pads are highly sensitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Texture matters greatly to Master Fuli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After multiple rounds of personal testing and observing similar animals, Lin Bingyun designed a carpet specifically for Master Fuli’s comfort, tailored to his form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance mat is just a prototype; the one for the living room hasn’t been completed yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond these advantages, Lin Bingyun also considered the nature of Master Fuli’s paw pads, increasing the silk content in the entrance mat to add a cooling sensation, encouraging him to instinctively rub his paws upon entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing off dirt from his pads on the mat, then stepping onto the short-pile carpet inside, gives him a greater sense of tactile relaxation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long-pile carpets don’t suit Master Fuli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bingyun would never explain all these behind-the-scenes considerations to Master Fuli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creating comfort is simply part of her job; letting Master Fuli discover it himself brings a pleasant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Is Miss Lin really going away for that long? Is she really okay?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting at the dining table, An Sheng typed a question on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Lin’s condition is stable. She has a medical team accompanying her—no major concerns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bingyun took the meal from the chef and carefully portioned it into smaller pieces for An Sheng’s convenience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some matters are beyond our assistance. They involve Ling Shi Holdings’ core strategy and deeper issues.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take Jiule City, for example. Its economic growth mainly comes from energy, machinery, synthetic fibers, and tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Energy relies primarily on nuclear power. Machinery manufacturing, aside from designers, now operates as dark factories. The synthetic fiber and tea industries are also upgrading. In short, though they’re pillar industries driving growth, they’ve always lacked low-skilled jobs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Small and micro enterprises, by contrast, provide massive local employment—but they struggle to secure financing or loans due to their own limitations. Miss Lin’s department identifies promising companies and invests in them to some degree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bingyun spoke of Miss Lin’s work and parts of Ling Shi Holdings’ business strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiule City’s economic growth stems entirely from high-tech enterprises, and the higher the tech level, the higher the employee qualifications required—automatically excluding recent graduates and underqualified workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The economy keeps growing, but the number of available jobs decreases as industries upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Shi Holdings’ investment in micro-enterprises clearly has a purpose beyond profit—otherwise, with their capital, they could find far better projects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Bingyun explained these matters, she didn’t speak too cryptically, as if trying to teach Master Fuli about human affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Miss Lin owns not just her own businesses, but over a hundred micro-enterprises?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng paused mid-snack, his perception of Miss Lin’s wealth suddenly upgraded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a single Lin family from Xiaguo is this powerful—if you add their overseas business empire, it’s practically divine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Lin Hao rushed to the parking lot to open the car door for Miss Lin the moment he heard she was visiting their Hailinglong Club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Fuli, please.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the delicious, low-calorie midnight snack, Lin Bingyun filled a glass with ice cubes, weighed them precisely on an electronic scale, then poured in sugar-reduced cola.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She handed Master Fuli a glass that looked like six hundred milliliters but actually held only about two hundred and thirty milliliters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the heavy ice, An Sheng didn’t notice the cola was sugar-reduced and drank it happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Fuli loves cola—Lin Bingyun wouldn’t dare lecture him about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only buy the heavy ice used in bars—the kind that melts slowly—and make a special blend for Master Fuli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Master Fuli, I’ve noticed your livestream is gaining traction. Should I hire professional staff for logistics and editing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the snack, Lin Bingyun picked up a comb and began grooming An Sheng’s fur, casually bringing up Yu Xueqing’s livestream to ask if he wanted to pursue any commercial ventures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Probably needed. Yu Xueqing’s been rushing around during livestreams, even outsourcing editing clips online—but let’s hold off for now. I need to go back and test the waters first.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Also, prepare the car. We’re heading to the port tonight to pick up a lion. We’ve got a big operation planned—and if possible, I’d like to buy plenty of food for a feast.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood. How many guests will attend? It’s nine-thirty now—I can arrange a banquet for up to a hundred people within two hours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bingyun considered and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Organizing a banquet requires securing and preparing the venue, arranging meals, and coordinating staff and accommodations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours isn’t enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Bingyun still had a way—though such a rushed gathering wouldn’t be cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cutting unnecessary expenses and saving costs while meeting perfect standards is one of Lin Bingyun’s daily priorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Guests will be the lion, the great wolf, two golden leopards, dozens of monkeys, uh… maybe two or three thousand dogs, over a thousand cats, and some other small creatures.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng typed on his phone and showed the list to Lin Bingyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the screen filled with thousands of cats and dogs alongside tigers, wolves, and leopards, Lin Bingyun froze, momentarily thinking she’d misheard: “I’ll do my best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1071,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.948Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d32d7909f9069671da3934b16c63b4e5461a41acddbf3dc66e20c435d5ea4326","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-236","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-234",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
